General description

Aztreonam belongs to the group of monocyclic β-lactam antibiotics, isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum. It is used against gram-negative bacterial infections, such as infections of the bladder, kidneys, bone, and urinary tract. It acts by binding to the penicillin-binding protein-3 (PBP3) and inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls causing cell lysis and death.

Application

The analytical standard can be used as follows:
  • Determination of aztreonam in two simulated lung fluid solutions― artificial lysosomal fluid and gamble solution by a UV spectroscopic method
  • Multi-residue analysis of eight β-lactams by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) combined with a photo-diode array (PDA) detector in human plasma & serum samples
  • Simultaneous quantitative analysis of nine β-lactams by UHPLC along with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in human plasma samples
