Products of aminolysis and enzymic hydrolysis of the cephalosporins

Abstract: 1. The reaction of cephalosporins with ammonia, amino acids and other simple amino compounds in weakly alkaline aqueous solutions yields labile compounds with lambda(max.) 230nm. The reaction of deacetyl- and deacetoxy-cephalosporins under similar conditions yields compounds with lambda(max.) 260nm. 2. Hydrolysis with a beta-lactamase results in the formation of compounds with lambda(max.) 230nm from deacetylcephalosporins and cephalosporins, but not from deacetoxycephalosporins. 3. These different compounds d… Show more

“…Therefore, these results indicate the importance of the acyl side chains in cross-reactions of AB-specific antibodies. This is supported by the report that the produced epitope is un stable, undergoing elimination of the C-3 side chain, dur ing the reaction of a cephalosporin AB and a protein [13]. CAZ and CPZ, which have a bulky group other than an allyl group in the acyl side chains such as tertiary butyric acid group and hydroxylphenyl group, showed little cross-reac tivity.…”

“…Despite the similarity in structure between these two major groups of antibacterials, important differences in chemical reactivity and stability exist. In particular, unlike penicillins, alkali treatment of cephalosporins leads to aminolysis via unstable intermediates that decompose to penaldate and ultimately penamaldate structures [12,21,22], that is, structures comprising only the R 1 side chain, the attached amide and parts of the original β-lactam ring remain. By employing a solid phase prepared by alkali treatment of some frequently used cephalosporins, IgE antibodies specific for R 1 side chains of some cephalosporins were demonstrated in the sera of patients who experienced immediate allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, following administration of a cephalosporin ( Figure 5b).…”

“…In penicillins, release is preceded by (enzymatic) fragmentation [7,23] while in cephalosporins it is accompanied 17) (chemical) fragmentation [24,25], making the identifical ion of initial release products difficult in both cases. The release of penicillins is further complicated by the fact that [lie fragmentation preceding deacylation is rate-limiting, and by the instability of the thiazolidine-derived release product.…”
