Anti-Infectives

Latina

The industrial manufacture of antimicrobial substances that are tolerted by humans is one of the major areas of medical progress of the last century. Thanks to the availability of effective antibiotics, infectious diseases can be successfully treated and their spread can be restricted.

Progress in antibiotic treatment is characterised to a great extent by the broad applicability of β-lactam antibiotics. A large number of derivatives of
aminopenicillanic acid and aminocephalosporanic acid are effective in various spectra of activity against gram-positive and also gram-negative pathogens.
Both oral and parenteral administration of β-lactam antibiotics make them the most commonly used group of anti-infective treatments.

Application is dependent on the range of activity and the resistance situation, starting with cases of respiratory system or urinary system infections in outpatient care through to combatting infection in intensive care conditions.

Corden Pharma Latina S.p.A. concentrates on the manufacture of β-lactam antibiotics. Manufacturing covers the synthesis of penicillin and cephalosporin derivatives at all stages after the fermentation synthesis stage. Penicillins and cephalosporins are synthesised as substances for formulation both for parenteral and oral administration.

Corden Pharma Latina’s modern plants permit the formulation of finished medical products for the parenteral administration of β-lactam antibiotics, separated into penicillins and cephalosporins.

All forms of these antibiotics are also formulated for oral administration as tablets, capsules or powder for the preparation of suspensions.
