Cefadroxil is a first generation aminocephalosporin with good patient compliance, a long-acting therapeutic effect, high solubility and relatively broad spectrum of anti-bacterial activity. Cefadroxil is also a substrate of the intestinal peptide transporter PepT1, which is primarily responsible for the drug's uptake across the apical membrane of small intestine.
D-4-Hydroxyphenylglycine (D-(-)-4-Hydroxyphenylglycine) is a crucial raw material in the synthesis of semisynthetic β-lactam antibiotics, including Amoxicillin and Cefadroxil .
