Azidocillin (sodium)

Azidocillin sodium, a semi-synthetic Penicillin, is an orally active β-lactam antibiotic. Azidocillin sodium bears an azide functionality and retains on-target activity within bacteria. Azidocillin sodium can be used to research osteitis caused by dental surgery, otitis media, enterococcal septicemia and other bacterial infectious diseases[1][2][3]. Azidocillin sodium is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
