7-Aminocephalosporanic Acid (7-ACA)
7-Aminocephalosporanic Acid, commonly referred to as 7-ACA, is a critical chemical compound utilized in the synthesis of cephalosporin antibiotics and their intermediates. This compound is generated through the chemoenzymatic hydrolysis of cephalosporin C, establishing itself as an essential building block for semi-synthetic antibiotic production. It is primarily intended for general industrial use or research purposes; however, it is not suitable for therapeutic applications or human consumption.
