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.

Periodic activation of zonal peptidoglycan (murein) synthesis at division sites in Escherichia coli has been reported recently. Zonal synthesis is responsible for septum formation, whereas elongation of the cell sacculus is performed by diffuse insertion of precursors. Zonal synthesis can
