Cefprozil

Cefprozil, also called cefprozilo (INN-Spanish) and cefprozilum (INN-Latin), is a second-generation cephalosporin type of antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial infections. It is sold under the brand names Arzimol®, Brisoral®, Cronocef®, Procef® and Serozil®.

Chemistry
The IUPAC name for cefprozil is (6R,7R)-7-(2R)-2-amino-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetyl]amino]-8-oxo-3-[(E)-prop-1-enyl]-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid. It has a molecule formula C18H19N3O5S and an average molecule mass of 389.4260 gram/mole.  Its antibacterial activity is due to the presence of a beta-[[lactam core structure, which binds with penicillin-binding proteins within bacteria, thus inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.
