7-Aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) is a critical beta-lactam antibiotic intermediate derived via enzymatic hydrolysis of cephalosporin C. It serves as the scaffold for synthesizing broad-spectrum cephalosporins. Molecular Formula: C14H16N2O5S; CAS No.: 10528-55-3. Note: The product description claiming it as a "potent β-lactamase inhibitor" is scientifically inaccurate; 7-ACA itself lacks significant inhibitory activity and functions primarily as a structural core.
