J. Weinberg et al., BETA-LACTAM ANTIBIOTICS .6. CEPHALOTHIN STABILITY DEPENDENCE ON THERMAL AND RADIATIVE TREATMENT, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 38(7), 1993, pp. 803-806
The aim of this paper is to present cephalotbin behaviour under therma
l (exposure at 50 degrees C) and radiative (daylight and UV irradiatio
n) treatment. It is shown that product decomposition proceeds at the b
eta-lactam ring. At the same time,the photosensitivity-crystallinity r
elation of this compound is emphasised.
