Description

Phenylglycine and its derivatives are important pharmaceutical intermediates, which are often used in the synthesis of ampicillin, Cefalexin, Cefradine and so on β- Lactam antibiotics, also used in the synthesis of peptide hormones and a variety of pesticides.

Uses

Amino acids are compounds containing both carboxyl and amino groups in molecules. They are a class of compounds with special significance, because many of them are basic components of proteins closely related to the origin and activities of life. They are essential substances for human body, and many amino acids can be directly used as drugs. Phenylglycine, as an amino acid, is an important intermediate in drug synthesis. Because phenylglycine has optical activity, left-handed and right-handed products have different effects. Most of the products used in medicine and pesticide production are left-handed phenylglycine.

It is used to produce penicillin, cefixin, cefaclor, ampicillin sodium, piperacillin, ceftriaxone, cefadroxil, amoxicillin, benzimidazole penicillin, etc β- The production of antibiotics is of great significance to the protection of people's health and the development of modern agriculture and animal husbandry.
