| Targets |
Cefathiamidine targets bacterial cell wall synthesis. As a cephalosporin antibiotic, it inhibits penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are essential for bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis. By binding to PBPs, it disrupts cell wall formation, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death. Its activity is bactericidal.

| ln Vitro |
The study examined and contrasted cefathiamidine's in vitro efficacy against Streptococcus faecalis and Streptococcus faecium with that of other β-lactam medications. Each of the 56 Str strains. The Enterococcus faecalis test was suppressed by cefthiamidin at a dose of 2 mg/L. Ampicillin with cefthiamidine against ten different Streptococcus bacteria' MBCs. Streptococcus faecalis has an MBC/MIC ratio more than 64. A higher concentration of ampicillin and cefathiamidine than the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) reduces enterococci faecalis. Ampicillin 4 mg/L or cefthiamidin 2 mg/L are the most rapid killers. This paradoxical bactericidal action was removed when adding 1 mg/L of gentamicin. According to time-disinfect tests, beta-lactams and aminoglycosides together kill 99.9% of cells in 6 hours [2].
Cefathiamidine exhibits a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. It is particularly active against Staphylococcus aureus, Viridans streptococci, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It shows unique antibacterial activity against Enterococcus. It also has activity against some Gram-negative bacteria. |
| ln Vivo |
Cefathiamidine is given parenterally, meaning it is injected intravenously or intramuscularly, as it is not absorbed orally. While ceftizamidine is extensively dispersed across the majority of bodily fluids and tissues, cefothioamidine is unable to pass through the blood-brain barrier. Cefathiamidine has a 23% protein binding capability, and the kidneys eliminate more than 90% of it unaltered [1].
Cefathiamidine is used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including respiratory tract infections, biliary tract infections, urinary tract infections, gynecological infections, sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis. It is administered by intramuscular or intravenous injection. Its efficacy has been demonstrated in clinical practice, particularly in China where it was first developed. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro assays for Cefathiamidine typically involve antimicrobial susceptibility testing using standardized methods such as broth microdilution or agar dilution. Various bacterial strains are cultured and exposed to serial dilutions of the compound. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) are determined as the lowest concentration that inhibits visible bacterial growth. The compound's activity is compared to other cephalosporins and antibiotics.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell-based assays, bacterial cultures are treated with Cefathiamidine at various concentrations. Bacterial growth is monitored by measuring optical density at 600 nm. Time-kill curves can be generated to assess the bactericidal activity. The compound's effects on bacterial cell morphology can be examined by electron microscopy. Cytotoxicity in mammalian cells can be assessed using MTT or other standard assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with Cefathiamidine are conducted in models of bacterial infection. Animals are infected with pathogenic bacteria and treated with the compound via intramuscular or intravenous injection. Efficacy is measured by survival rates, bacterial clearance from tissues, and resolution of infection symptoms. Pharmacokinetic studies assess the compound's distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Cefathiamidine (CAS: 33075-00-2) has a molecular weight of 472.58 g/mol and a molecular formula of C19H28N4O6S2. It is a water-soluble, semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic. Chemical name: (6R,7R)-3-(Acetoxymethyl)-7-(2-(((E)-N,N'-diisopropylcarbamimidoyl)thio)acetamido)-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid. Storage: cool, dry place.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Cefathiamidine is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with an established safety profile. Common side effects include allergic reactions (rash, urticaria), gastrointestinal disturbances, and injection site reactions. As with other cephalosporins, cross-hypersensitivity with penicillins may occur. It is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to cephalosporins. It is an approved antibiotic in some countries.
