Roles

  • antimicrobial agent

Pharmacology

Cephaloglycin is a semisynthetic first-generation cephalosporin with antibacterial activity. Cephaloglycin binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (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.

How it is made

Antibiotic substance produced along with penicillin N by a Cepahlosporium sp. cultivated from sea water near a sewage outlet on the coast of Sardinia.

7-Aminocephalosporanic acid, prepd from natural antibiotic cephalosporin c by either protoncatalyzed or enzymatic hydrolysis, is acylated with 2-phenylglycine in appropriate dehydrating environment. (Dihydrate)
