History First isolated from cultures
of Cephalosporium acremonium
In 1948 by Italian scientist Giuseppe Brotzu
The first agent cephalothin was launched by Eli Lilly and Company in 1964.
![Page 8: Discussion and Comparison Between 3rd & 4th Generation Cephalosporins](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050703/54752c52b4af9ffe318b456c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mechanism of action
Bactericidal
disrupt the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls
The final transpeptidation step in the synthesis of the peptidoglycan is facilitated by transpeptidases known as penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs)
![Page 9: Discussion and Comparison Between 3rd & 4th Generation Cephalosporins](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050703/54752c52b4af9ffe318b456c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mechanism of action (Cont.)
PBPs bind to the D-Ala-D-Ala at the end of muropeptides (peptidoglycan precursors) to crosslink the peptidoglycan
Cephalosporins mimic this site and competitively inhibit PBP crosslinking of peptidoglycan.
![Page 10: Discussion and Comparison Between 3rd & 4th Generation Cephalosporins](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050703/54752c52b4af9ffe318b456c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pharmacokinetics Cephalosporins are given parenterally and
orally.
Extent of binding to plasma protein varies from one to another.
e.g. Cefazolin is 80% protein bound (hence, long t1/2 ) Cephalexin is 10-15% protein bound
Relatively lipid insoluble. Hence, do not penetrate cells or the CNS, except for third generations
![Page 11: Discussion and Comparison Between 3rd & 4th Generation Cephalosporins](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050703/54752c52b4af9ffe318b456c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pharmacokinetics (Cont.)
Mostly excreted unchanged by the kidney (glomerular & tubular secretion), except, ceftazidime & cefoperazone (glomerular)
Probenecid slows their elimination and prolongs their half-live (except ceftazidime & cefoperazone)
Half-life 30-90 min; ceftriaxone 4-7 hr

Recent Development of third and forth generation
cephalosporin:A short review on some
research papers
![Page 30: Discussion and Comparison Between 3rd & 4th Generation Cephalosporins](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050703/54752c52b4af9ffe318b456c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Cephalosporin chemical reactivity and its immunological implications
to analyze the chemical reactivity of cephalosporins by IgE antibodies and to establish the basis of the allergenicity.
Third and fourth generation cephalosporins appear to be more involved in specific IgE reactions .
Lack of knowledge of the exact chemical structure of cephalosporin antigenic determinants.
Data indicate that R2 is not present in the final conjugate.
recognition by IgE antibodies is mainly directed to the R1 acyl side chain and to the beta-lactam fragment that remains linked to the carrier protein in the cephalosporin conjugation process.
![Page 31: Discussion and Comparison Between 3rd & 4th Generation Cephalosporins](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050703/54752c52b4af9ffe318b456c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Conjugation
![Page 32: Discussion and Comparison Between 3rd & 4th Generation Cephalosporins](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050703/54752c52b4af9ffe318b456c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Ceftazimide’s stability
In addition to the syn-configuration of the imino side chain, compared to other third-generation cephalosporins, the more complex moiety (containing two methyl and a carboxylic acid group) confers extra stability to β-lactamase enzymes produced by many Gram-negative bacteria.
The extra stability to β-lactamases increases the activity of ceftazidime against otherwise resistant Gram-negative organisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The charged pyridinum moiety increases water-solubility.
![Page 33: Discussion and Comparison Between 3rd & 4th Generation Cephalosporins](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050703/54752c52b4af9ffe318b456c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Novel bifunctional prodrug of ceftizoxime Ceftizoxime is a parenteral third-generation cephalosporin Unlike other 3rd generation cephalosporins , in ceftizoxime the
whole C-3 side chain has been removed to prevent deactivation by hydrolytic enzymes . It rather resembles Cefotaxime in its properties , however not being subjected to metabolism .
AS-924, a novel bifunctional prodrug of ceftizoxime. L-alanine was introduced into the aminothiazole-oxime moiety at the
C-7 position of the various lipophilic esters of CZX. Among these prodrugs, pivaloyloxymethyl 7beta-[(Z)-2-(2-(S)-
alanylaminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoa cetamido]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate hydrochloride (ceftizoxime alapivoxil, AS-924) was well absorbed after oral administration in experimental animals and showed potent therapeutic effects in mice.

Intramedullary spinal cord abscess treated with antibiotic therapy
A 58-year-old man presented with an intramedullary spinal cord abscess (ISCA).
He was treated under a diagnosis of cryptogenic ISCA with high-dose ampicillin and third- or fourth-generation cephalosporins, which resulted in complete recovery after 2 months.
Antibiotic treatment is comparable to surgery plus antibiotic treatment

Reason behind the resistance AmpC beta-lactamases are cephalosporinases encoded on
the chromosomes of many of the Enterobacteriaceae. AmpC beta-lactamases and extended-spectrum beta-
lactamases (ESBLs) :Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae)
R plasmids can be easily transferred between the resistant and sensitive negative bacilli. (1)

Adverse drug reactions to a cephalosporins in patients with a history of penicillin allergy
Patients with penicillin allergy are more likely to develop a cephalosporin reaction compared with patients who reported a delayed, a probable, or an unknown penicillin reaction.
None of those patients who received a fourth-generation cephalosporin reacted.
Cefoperazone adverse effect: N-methylthiotetrazole (side chain and hypoprothrombinemia.

Cefepime: new fourth-gen cephalosporin Fourth-generation cephalosporins, such as cefepime, have a
quaternary nitrogen that is positively charged at the 3-position, providing the properties of a zwitterion: faster than other 3rd gen.
A 2-aminothiazolyl-acetamido group in the side chain at the 7-position with an alpha-oxyimino substitution may enhance stability against beta-lactamases by preventing the enzymes' approach to the main nucleus.
not active in vitro against Enterococcus faecalis, Clostridium difficile, and methicillin- and cefazolin-resistant Staph. aureus.
In healthy adults, the volume of distribution is 13-22 L and the elimination half-life is 2-2.3 hours..
The most common adverse effects of cefepime are headache (2.4%), nausea (1.8%), rash (1.8%), and diarrhea (1.7%).
