General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

Cefsulodin is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has very specific activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cefuslodin is used in CIN (cefsulodin-Irgasan-novobiocin) agar to select for microorganisms such as E. coli. Cefsulodin is a substrate for rat Oatp1a4. It has been used to study multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 in efflux transport of prostaglandin E2 across the mouse blood-brain barrier.
Cefsulodin is used to study the effect of expression, binding, and inhibition of PBP1 and other penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on bacterial cell wall mucopeptide synthesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cefsulodin is a cephalosporin. Cephalosporins disrupt cell wall synthesis by inhibiting PBP crosslinking of peptidoglycan.
