1. Introduction
•Antibacterial agents which inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis
•Discovered from a fungal colony in Sardinian sewer water (1948)
•Cephalosporin C identified in 1961

Disadvantages
•Polar due to the side chain - difficult to isolate and purify
•Low potency - limited to the treatment of urinary tract infections where it is concentrated
in the urine
•Not absorbed orally
Advantages
•Non toxic
•Lower risk of allergic reactions compared to penicillins
•More stable to acid conditions
•More stable to b-lactamases
•Ratio of activity vs Gram -ve and Gram +ve bacteria is better
Conclusion
•Useful as a lead compound

•Similar to penicillins
•The b-lactam ring is crucial to the mechanism
•The carboxylic acid at position 4 is important to binding
•The bicyclic system is important in increasing ring strain
•Stereochemistry is important
•The acetoxy substituent is important to the mechanism
Possible modifications
•7-Acylamino side chain
•3-Acetoxymethyl side chain
•Substitution at C-7

•More active than penicillin G vs. some Gram -ve bacteria
•Less likely to cause allergic reactions
•Useful vs. penicillinase producing strains of S. aureus
•Not active vs. Pseudonomas aeruginosa
•Poorly absorbed from GIT
•Administered by injection
•Metabolised to give a free 3-hydroxymethyl group (deacetylation)
•Metabolite is less active

•The pyridine ring is stable to metabolism

•The 3-methyl group is a poor leaving group
•Methyl group is bad for activity but aids oral absorption
•Can be administered orally
•A hydrophilic amino group at the a-carbon of the side chain helps to compensate for the
loss of activity due to the methyl group

8. First Generation Cephalosporins
Summary
•Generally lower activity than comparable penicillins
•Better range of activity than comparable penicillins
•Best activity is against Gram-positive cocci
•Useful against some Gram negative infections
•Useful against S. aureus and streptococcal infections when penicillins have to be avoided
•Poorly absorbed across the gut wall (except for 3-methyl substituted cephalosporins)
•Most are administered by injection
•Resistance has appeared amongst Gram negative bacteria (presence of more effective blactamases)
