DESCRIPTION
Cephalexin Capsules, USP is a semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic
intended for oral administration.
It is 7-(D-a-Amino-a-phenylacetamido)-3-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic
acid monohydrate. Cephalexin
has the molecular formula C
H N O S•H O and the molecular weight is 365.41.
Cephalexin, USP has the following structural formula:
The nucleus of cephalexin is related to that of other cephalosporin
antibiotics. The compound is a
zwitterion; i.e., the molecule contains both a basic and an acidic
group. The isoelectric point of
cephalexin in water is approximately 4.5 to 5.
The crystalline form of cephalexin which is available is a
monohydrate. It is a white crystalline solid
having a bitter taste. Solubility in water is low at room temperature;
1 or 2 mg/mL may be dissolved
readily, but higher concentrations are obtained with increasing
difficulty.
The cephalosporins differ from penicillins in the structure of the
bicyclic ring system. Cephalexin has a
_D_ phenylglycyl group as substituent at the 7 amino position and an
unsubstituted methyl group at the
3 position.
Each capsule contains cephalexin monohydrate equivalent to 250 mg (720
µmol) or 500 mg (1439 µmol)
of cephalexin. The capsules also contain the following inactive
ingredients magnesium stearate, capsule
shell contains D & C Yellow No. 10, FD & C Yellow No. 6, FD & C green
3, sodium lauryl sulfate,
gelatin, titanium dioxide. In addition, the 500 mg capsule also
