- Product Overview:
Cephalexin is a cephalosporin antibiotic that is active against most Gram-positive cocci, including penicillinase-producing Staphylococci, and against Gram-negative bacteria such as N. gonorrhoeae, E. coli, K. pneumonia, Salmonellae, Shigella, and some strains of H. influenza.{27468} It is not effective against Proteus species, Pseudomonas, or mycobacteria.{27468} Cephalexin specifically inactivates penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 3, which is essential for bacterial cell wall synthesis.{25731} It has been combined with antibiotics that preferentially target alternate PBP isotypes as a strategy to combat drug-resistant bacteria.{26293}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
