The development of potent antibiotics is a constant pursuit in pharmaceutical science, aiming to combat evolving bacterial resistance. Meropenem stands out as a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic, effective against a wide array of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. At the heart of its synthesis lies a crucial chemical building block: the Side Chain for Meropenem (CAS 96034-64-9). Understanding this intermediate's role and properties is vital for anyone involved in its production or research.

The Side Chain for Meropenem, characterized by its molecular formula C15H19N3O5S and a molecular weight of 353.40, typically presents as a white to light yellow powder. This physical attribute is often the first point of reference for quality assessment. Its significance stems from its precise chemical structure, which is designed to be incorporated into the larger Meropenem molecule. The efficiency and success of the overall Meropenem synthesis are heavily dependent on the purity and consistent quality of this side chain intermediate.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers rely on this intermediate to form a key part of the Meropenem structure, contributing directly to its antibacterial activity. The chemical reactions involved in attaching this side chain require high purity to avoid unwanted byproducts and ensure the final API meets stringent regulatory standards. This is why many companies choose to buy from specialized manufacturers in China who focus on producing intermediates with assays often exceeding 98.5%.

For researchers and production chemists, having access to detailed technical specifications and reliable suppliers is essential. The ability to obtain this intermediate readily and at competitive prices, coupled with a commitment to quality, empowers pharmaceutical companies to advance their production of life-saving antibiotics. As a manufacturer and supplier, we are dedicated to providing this critical component, supporting the global effort to combat bacterial infections through advanced chemical synthesis.
