Cefmetazole sodium salt
Cefmetazole sodium salt (CAS: 56796-39-5; Formula: C15H16N7O5S3Na; MW: 493.52) is a potent antibacterial agent that interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis. It is primarily used in research settings to investigate the mechanisms of bacterial growth, specifically concerning penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Cefmetazole sodium salt aids in understanding protein-mediated transport of antibiotics and the expression, binding, and inhibition of PBPs other than PBP2.

Antibiotic Resistance Research
Investigate the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance by studying the interaction of Cefmetazole sodium salt with penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).
Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis Studies
Examine the role of PBPs in bacterial cell wall mucopeptide synthesis and how compounds like Cefmetazole sodium salt inhibit this process.
Drug Transport Mechanisms
Utilize Cefmetazole sodium salt to explore protein-mediated transport systems for antibiotics within bacterial cells.
