6-Aminopenicillanic acid Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Chemical Properties
WHITE TO CREAM FINE POWDER
Uses
(+)-6-Aminopenicillanic Acid is the core structure in penicillins, obtained from the fermentation brew of the Penicillium mold. (+)-6-Aminopenicillanic Acid is used as the main starting block for the preparation of numerous semisynthetic penicillins.
Uses
6-Aminopenicillanic acid is the basic unit in penicillins, which is obtained from the fermentation brew of the Penicillium mold. It acts as a starting material for the preparation of many semisynthetic penicillins. Further, it serves as apharmaceutical intermediate. In addition to this, it is used in antibiotics research and experimental application.
Definition
ChEBI: A penicillanic acid compound having a (6R)-amino substituent. The active nucleus common to all penicillins, it may be substituted at the 6-amino position to form the semisynthetic penicillins, resulting in a variety of antibacterial and ph rmacologic characteristics.
General Description
Chemical structure: -lactam
Flammability and Explosibility
Non flammable
Safety Profile
Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx and SOx.
Purification Methods
This acid crystallises from water. [Kleppe & Stroninger J Biol Chem 254 4856 1979,Beilstein 27 III/IV 2858.]
