Sodium cefamandole Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Cefamandole is a cephalosporin antibiotic that is effective against E. coli (MIC values range from 0.25-2 mg/L depending on strain) as well as H. influenza, S. pneumoniae, and S. aureus. It has been used to study the expression and inhibition of penicillin-binding proteins on bacterial cell walls and to study antibiotic resistance.

Chemical Properties

White Solid

Uses

Antibacterial;Bacterial transpeptidase inhibitor

Uses

Broad-spectrum semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic.

Definition

ChEBI: An organic sodium salt that is the sodium salt of cefamandole.

in vitro

the in-vitro effect of cefamandole was tested against 645 strains of bacteria isolated from clinical sources. against gram-positive organisms cefamandole showed great potency, being three- to four-fold more active than cephalexin or cefoxitin. none of the pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were susceptible to 100 μg of cefamandole per ml [1].

in vivo

the testicular toxicity of cefamandole was evaluated in neonatal rats. results showed that cefamandole caused delayed maturity of the germinal epithelium of neonatal rats. in rats given daily subcutaneous injections during this period, the most mature germinal cells were acrosome phase spermatids [2].
