<h3>Overview</h3>
<p><strong>7-Aminocephalosporanic acid</strong> (7ACA) is a key intermediate for semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotics. Produced via enzymatic deacylation of cephalosporin C, its molecular formula is <strong>C14H16N2O5S</strong> with CAS <strong>10580-05-9</strong>.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li>Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Synthesis of second and third-generation cephalosporins.</li>
<li>Veterinary medicine: Production of broad-spectrum animal antibiotics.</li>
<li>Research & Development: Used as a scaffold for novel antibiotic derivatization.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<ul>
<li>Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis.</li>
<li>Handle with PPE to avoid skin contact and inhalation of dust.</li>
<li>Not for direct clinical use; requires further chemical modification.</li>
