The Cephalosporin nucleus (7-aminocephalosporanic acid, 7-ACA) is the critical semisynthetic intermediate for producing broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotics. Manufactured via enzymatic hydrolysis of cephalosporin C, its molecular formula is C16H19N3O8S and CAS No. is 5930-24-7.
Strict storage at -20°C in dry conditions is required to prevent degradation. Personnel must wear full PPE due to potential sensitization risks associated with beta-lactams.
