    Cefamandole Nafate, USP

    $580.99 - $1,063.73

    Cefamandole Nafate, USP is a second-generation cephalosporin and beta-lactam antibiotic with bactericidal activity.  It is  freely soluble in aqueous solution and sparingly soluble in methanol.  The ester compound, Nefamandole Nafate is hydrolyzed to Cefamandole.

    Cefamandole has been used to study the expression of penicillin-binding proteins on bacterial cell walls and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

    We also offer:

    • Cefamandole Sodium (C079)
    Mechanism of Action Like β-lactams, cephalosporins interfere with PBP (penicillin binding protein) activity involved in the final phase of peptidoglycan synthesis. PBP’s are enzymes which catalyze a pentaglycine crosslink between alanine and lysine residues providing additional strength to the cell wall. Without a pentaglycine crosslink, the integrity of the cell wall is severely compromised and ultimately leads to cell lysis and death. Resistance to cephalosporins is commonly due to cells containing plasmid encoded β-lactamases.
    Spectrum Cefamandole is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin targeting a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram- negative bacteria.

    Microbiology Applications

    Cefamandole Nafate is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options.

    Representative MIC values include:

    • Escherichia coli 0.08 µg/mL – 100 µg/mL
    • Klebsiella pneumoniae 0.8 µg/mL – 12.5 µg/mL
