Cefradine (INN) orcephradine (BAN) is a first generationcephalosporinantibiotic.[1]
Cefradine is distributed in the form of capsules containing 250 mg or 500 mg, as a syrup containing 250 mg/5 ml, or in vials for injection containing 500 mg or 1 g.[citation needed]
It is not approved by the FDA for use in the United States.[citation needed]
Birch reduction of D-α-phenylglycine led to diene (2). This was N-protected usingtert-butoxycarbonylazide and activated for amide formation via the mixed anhydride method using isobutylchloroformate to give3. Mixed anhydride3 reacted readily with 7-aminodesacetoxycephalosporanic acid to give, after deblocking, cephradine (5).
The antibiotic is produced under many brand names across the world.[5]
