Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Cephradine is a first generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Cephradine is used in the treatment of certain infections caused by susceptible bacterial strains causing respiratory, genitourinary, gastrointestinal, skin and soft tissue, and bone and joint infections, or septicemia. Cephradine is effective against many gram-positive bacilli and cocci (other than enterococcus) and some gram-negative bacilli.Cephradine inhibits Gly-Sar uptake in CHO/hPEPT1 cells with an IC50 of 15.3 mM.[1] Besides, cephradine has superior in-vitro activity against non-sporing anaerobic bacteria, and can be used as prophylactic agents for abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy.[2] In addition, cephradine as a low protein bound cephalosporine antibiotic exhibits good diffusion into the tissue cage fluid.[3] Cephradine is also used to treat urinary, bronchopulmonary and wound infections in disseminated cancer. Cephradine inhibits most strains of Pneumococcus Staphylococcus and Streptococcus pyogenes.[4]

Protocols

Cephradine solution (0.01 mM to 50 mM) containing 3H-Gly-Sar (20 mM, 0.4 Ci/mL) is added to each well and incubated for 30 minutes at 25 °C.[1]
