L-Cephalexin is a semi-synthetic beta-lactam antibiotic derived from cephalosporin C. It is manufactured via enzymatic or chemical acylation of 7-ACA, followed by specific stereochemical resolution to ensure the (6R,7R) configuration. The compound features the molecular formula C16H17N3O4S and CAS No. 25938-22-3, serving as a high-purity API for pharmaceutical synthesis.
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to cephalosporins. Requires storage below 25°C in dry, light-resistant containers. Strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is mandatory during handling to prevent cross-contamination and ensure product stability.
