Cefadroxil targets penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. By binding to and inactivating PBPs, it inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. The compound is an orally active cephalosporin antibiotic. It is absorbed in the small intestine via the intestinal peptide transporter PepT1.

| Additional Infomation |
Cefadroxil monohydrate is the monohydrate of the cephalosporin cefalexin. It contains one cefalexin molecule. Cefadroxil is a semi-synthetic β-lactam first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Cefadroxil binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding protein (PBP) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. PBP is an enzyme involved in the final stages of bacterial cell wall assembly and in remodeling the cell wall during bacterial growth and division. Inactivation of PBP interferes with the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, which is crucial for maintaining the strength and rigidity of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to weakening of the bacterial cell wall and ultimately cell lysis. This is a long-acting, broad-spectrum, water-soluble cefalexin derivative.
Cefadroxil is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is used for the treatment of pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and other susceptible infections. The CAS number is 66592-87-8. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
