Cephapirin Benzathine(CAS: 97468-37-6)

Cephapirin Benzathine is a white to off-white crystalline powder. Its molecular weight is approximately 605.83 g/mol. It is sparingly soluble in water and ethanol. Chemically, it is less reactive compared to its parent compound, cephapirin.

Cephapirin Benzathine is synthesized through the benzathine salt formation of cephapirin. This process involves the reaction of cephapirin with benzathine hydrochloride in the presence of a suitable solvent. The reaction is conducted under mild conditions to achieve a high yield and good selectivity.

Cephapirin Benzathine is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for its antibiotic properties. It is also utilized in the medical industry for intramuscular injection in the treatment of various bacterial infections. There are no significant applications in other industries such as polymers, sensors, or semiconductors.

When handling Cephapirin Benzathine, ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves and safety goggles. Store it away from heat and sources of ignition. In case of spill, use a suitable absorbent and dispose of the waste according to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Always consult the MSDS for detailed safety information.
