Lenampicillin hydrochloride is an orally active prodrug of Ampicillin. Lenampicillin hydrochloride is an effective beta-lactam antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial penicillin-bindingproteins. It is applied in the investigation of suppurative skin
Cefepime dihydrochloride, a broad-spectrum fourth-generation cephalosporin, binds and inactivates penicillin-bindingproteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall.
Ceftizoxime, a third-generation cephalosporin effective against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, binds penicillin-bindingproteins (PBPs) to inhibit the bacterial cell wall synthesis. It rather resembles cefotaxime in its properties but is not su
Cefotetan Sodium, a second-generation cephalosporin, cephamycin antibiotic, is active against a wide range of both aerobic and anaerobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Cefotetan disrupts the cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding
Cefsulodin is a β-lactam antibiotic that lyses actively-growingE. coliby binding specifically to the intermembrane proteins, penicillin-bindingproteins 1a and b, whose transglycosylase and transpeptidase activities are involved in cell elongation and septation.1Cefsulodin has been used in combination with other β-lactam antibiotics, such as cefazolin as a strategy to circumvent drug resistance.2
Cefpirome is a broad-spectrum, fourth-generation cephalosporin. It binds to and inactivates penicillin-bindingproteins located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall.
Cephradine sodium is the salt form of Cephradine (free base), a semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefradin inhibits the last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to certain penicillin-bindingproteins which results in cell lysis. Cell lysis is mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes. Cefradin may interfere with autolysin inhibitors.
Cefcanel is a semisynthetic third-generation cephalosporin with antibacterial activity. Cefcanel is active against the species E. coli, K. aerogenes and Proteus mirabilis; H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis has reasonable susceptibility. Cefcanel inhibits 90% of S. aureus strains at 2 µg ml, irrespective of the presence of a β-lactamase. Cefcanel binds to and inactivates penicillin-bindingproteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. PBPs are enzymes involved in the terminal stages of assembling the bacterial cell wall and in reshaping the cell wall during growth and division. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity. This results in the weakening of the bacterial cell wall and causes cell lysis.
