Product Information
Name:Cefixime methyl ester
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Cefixime methyl ester is a chemical compound often used in the development of antibiotics, specifically as a semi-synthetic cephalosporin derivative. It is derived from Cephalosporium acremonium, a type of fungus, which serves as a source for the initial cephalosporin structure. The compound functions as a beta-lactam antibiotic by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It achieves this through the acylation of penicillin-binding proteins, effectively halting the transpeptidation or cross-linking of the peptidoglycan layer, which is crucial for bacterial survival and division.
Cefixime methyl ester's primary applications involve pharmaceutical research and development, where it serves as an essential precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of active antibiotic agents. Its role in facilitating the production of cefixime, an antibiotic used to treat various infections caused by susceptible bacteria, underscores its importance in expanding the efficacy and spectrum of antibacterial substances. This chemical serves as a crucial link in the pathway toward creating effective therapeutic agents to combat bacterial infections.
