GENERAL
DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
|

Cephalosporin:
any of a group of broad-spectrum derived from species of fungi of the genus
Cephalosporium and are related to the penicillins in both structure and mode of
action but relatively penicillinase-resistant antibiotics. These antibiotics
have low toxicity for the host, considering their broad antibacterial spectrum.
They have the active nucleus of beta-lactam ring which results in a variety of
antibacterial and pharmacologic characteristics when modified mainly by
substitution at 3 and 7 positions. Their antibacterial activities result from
the inhibition of mucopeptide synthesis in the cell wall. They are widely used
to treat gonorrhea, meningitis, pneumococcal, staphylococcal and streptococcal
infections. The cephalosporin class of antibiotics is usually divided into
generations by their antimicrobial properties. Three generations of
cephalosporins are recognized and the fourth has been grouped. Each newer
generation of cephalosporins has broader range of activity against gram-negative
organisms but a narrower range of activity against gram-positive organisms than
the preceding generation. The newer agents have much longer half-lives resulting
in the decrease of dosing frequency. Accordingly, the third-generation
cephalosporins can penetrate into tissues well, and thus antibiotic levels are
good in various body fluids. Second-generation cephalosporins have broader
spectrums of activity against gram negative coverage but less active against
gram-positive organisms than first-generation agents. This group includes
cefamandole (CAS RN 34444-01-4), cefaclor (53994-73-3), cefuroxime (55268-75-2),
cefonicid (61270-58-4), ceforanide (60925-61-3). cefoxitin (35607-66-0) and
cefotetan (69712-56-7) which are effectively active against bacteroides fragilis
are also included in this group, although they are cephamycins
actually.
Cefoperazone sodium is
a semi-synthetic 3rd generation cephalosporin
effective against a wide range of aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and
gram-negative bacteria. It is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder; soluble in water,
methanol; slightly soluble in dehydrated alcohol;
insoluble in acetone, ethyl acetate, ether. Chemical designation is [6R-[6a,7b(R')]]-7-[[[[(4-ethyl-2,3-dioxo-1-piperazinyl)carbonyl]
amino](4-hydroxyphenyl) acetyl]amino]-3 -[[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]methyl]-8-oxo-
5-thia-1-azabicyclo [4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid,
monosodium salt.
