Cefazolin sodium salt
Cefazolin sodium salt (CAS 27164-46-1), with the empirical formula C14H13N8NaO4S3 and a molecular weight of 476.49 g/mol, is a key cephalosporin antibiotic. It functions by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, making it effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This compound is primarily used in research settings to study antibacterial mechanisms and for developing new antimicrobial therapies.

Antibacterial Research
Used in laboratory settings to investigate the mechanisms of bacterial resistance and to evaluate the efficacy of new antibiotic compounds. Its role in inhibiting cell wall synthesis makes it a valuable tool for microbiological studies.
Drug Discovery and Development
Serves as a reference compound in the development of novel antibacterial agents. Researchers utilise it to compare the activity profiles of newly synthesised molecules against bacterial targets.
Biochemical Studies
Employed in biochemical assays to understand protein-drug interactions and enzymatic pathways related to bacterial growth and survival. This aids in elucidating the precise mode of action of cephalosporins.
