Cephalexin Monohydrochloride（Cat No.:M004725）is a high-purity first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely used in antimicrobial research. It exhibits broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through targeting penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). The monohydrochloride form enhances solubility and stability, making it suitable for pharmacological and microbiological studies. Cephalexin is commonly employed in studying bacterial resistance mechanisms and evaluating novel combination therapies. Its reliable activity and well-established safety profile make it a valuable tool in exploring therapeutic approaches for bacterial infections.
