Product Description

Cefoselis (also known as FK 037 Sulfate) is a widely used beta-lactam antibiotic of the cephalosporin class. Cefoselis inhibits GABA-induced currents in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 of 185 mM. Cefoselis possesses a superior antistaphylococcal activity on MSSA isolates to both other compounds being however equal active to Cefepime and Cefpirome on multiresistant enterobacteriaceae. Cefoselis is dose-dependently appeared in brain extracellular fluid in proportion to its blood level. Cefoselis, a new parenteral cephalosporin, is active against clinical isolates of both gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic bacteria.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
β-lactam
Bacterial Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs) (MIC values: Escherichia coli = 0.015-0.12 μg/mL; Klebsiella pneumoniae = 0.03-0.25 μg/mL; Staphylococcus aureus = 0.25-1 μg/mL) [2][3]
ln Vitro
Cefoselis inhibits GABA-induced currents in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 of 185 mM. Cefoselis possesses a superior antistaphylococcal activity on MSSA isolates to both other compounds being however equal active to Cefepime and Cefpirome on multiresistant enterobacteriaceae. Cefoselis is dose-dependently appeared in brain extracellular fluid in proportion to its blood level. Cefoselis, a new parenteral cephalosporin, is active against clinical isolates of both gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic bacteria.
Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. For Gram-negative bacteria: it inhibited Escherichia coli (including ESBL-producing strains) with MIC50 = 0.03 μg/mL, MIC90 = 0.06 μg/mL; Klebsiella pneumoniae with MIC50 = 0.06 μg/mL, MIC90 = 0.12 μg/mL; Pseudomonas aeruginosa with MIC50 = 1 μg/mL, MIC90 = 2 μg/mL [2][3]
- For Gram-positive bacteria: it suppressed methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) with MIC50 = 0.5 μg/mL, MIC90 = 1 μg/mL; Streptococcus pneumoniae with MIC50 = 0.03 μg/mL, MIC90 = 0.06 μg/mL; Enterococcus faecalis with MIC50 = 2 μg/mL, MIC90 = 4 μg/mL [3]
- It showed bactericidal activity: time-kill curve assays demonstrated that at 2×MIC, it reduced viable counts of Escherichia coli by ≥3 log10 CFU/mL within 6 hours and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by ≥3 log10 CFU/mL within 8 hours [3]
- It is stable to most β-lactamases (ESBLs, AmpC β-lactamases) but susceptible to metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) [2]
- In rat cortical neurons, Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) (100-1000 μg/mL) induced concentration-dependent glutamate release: 500 μg/mL increased glutamate levels by ~2.8-fold compared to control, which is associated with seizure induction [1]
- No significant cytotoxicity to human epithelial cells (HEp-2) at concentrations up to 200 μg/mL [3]
ln Vivo
Cefoselis elicits a massive elevation of extracellular glutamate concentration in normal rats. Cefoselis (50 mg/animal)-induced convulsions are prevented by pretreatment with 5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine (MK-801), diazepam and phenobarbital (ED(50) values (mg/kg) of 0.78, 1.59 and 33.0, respectively), but not by carbamazepine or phenytoin.
In rats, intravenous administration of Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg) easily penetrated the blood-brain barrier (BBB), with a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/plasma concentration ratio of 0.25 (100 mg/kg) and 0.32 (200 mg/kg) at 1 hour post-administration [1]
- It induced dose-dependent seizures in rats: intravenous injection of 200 mg/kg caused generalized seizures in 80% of rats, while 100 mg/kg induced mild seizures in 30% of rats. The seizure activity was correlated with increased glutamate levels in the cerebral cortex [1]
Enzyme Assay
Bacterial PBP binding assay: Purified PBPs (PBP1a, PBP2, PBP3) from Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were incubated with Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) (0.01-20 μg/mL) and radiolabeled penicillin G at 37°C for 30 minutes. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and autoradiography were used to quantify PBP binding inhibition, confirming high affinity for PBP2 and PBP3 [3]
- MIC determination assay: Clinical bacterial isolates were inoculated into Mueller-Hinton broth containing serial dilutions of Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) (0.001-128 μg/mL) and incubated at 37°C for 18-24 hours. The lowest concentration inhibiting visible bacterial growth was defined as MIC [2][3]
- β-lactamase stability assay: Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) (10 μg/mL) was incubated with purified β-lactamases (ESBLs, AmpC, MBLs) at 37°C for 1 hour. Residual antibacterial activity was measured by agar diffusion assay, with inhibition zone diameter used to evaluate stability [2]
Cell Assay
Time-kill curve assay: Bacterial suspensions (10⁶ CFU/mL) were incubated with Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) at 0.5×MIC, 1×MIC, 2×MIC, and 4×MIC at 37°C. Aliquots were sampled at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours, serially diluted, and plated on agar plates. Colonies were counted after 24 hours to determine viable bacterial counts [3]
- Neuronal glutamate release assay: Rat cortical neurons were cultured in 24-well plates for 7 days, then treated with Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) (100-1000 μg/mL) for 30 minutes. Culture supernatants were collected, and glutamate levels were measured by fluorometric assay using glutamate dehydrogenase [1]
- Cytotoxicity assay: Human HEp-2 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and treated with Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) (0.1-200 μg/mL) for 24 hours. MTT reagent was added, and absorbance at 570 nm was measured to evaluate cell viability [3]
Animal Protocol
50 mg/animal
Rats
Rat BBB penetration and seizure model: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control and Cefoselis Sulfate (FK-037) treatment groups (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg). The drug was dissolved in normal saline and administered via intravenous injection. At 1 hour post-administration, rats were anesthetized to collect blood and cerebrospinal fluid for drug concentration detection (HPLC). Seizure activity was observed and scored for 2 hours post-administration; cerebral cortex tissues were collected to measure glutamate levels [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
In rats, after intravenous administration of cefoperazone sulfate (FK-037) (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg), the peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) at the end of infusion were 85 μg/mL (100 mg/kg) and 172 μg/mL (200 mg/kg), respectively [1]. The drug effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier, with cerebrospinal fluid/plasma concentration ratios of 0.25 (100 mg/kg) and 0.32 (200 mg/kg) one hour after administration [1]. The plasma protein binding rate in rats is approximately 15-20% [3]. Approximately 70-80% of the drug is excreted in the urine within 24 hours, of which approximately 90% is the unchanged drug [3]. The plasma elimination half-life in rats is approximately 1.2 hours [3].
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
In vitro experiments showed that cefoperazone sulfate (FK-037) at concentrations up to 200 μg/mL had no significant cytotoxicity to human HEp-2 cells [3]. In vivo experiments showed that cefoperazone sulfate could induce dose-dependent seizures in rats: 200 mg/kg intravenous injection caused generalized seizures in 80% of rats, while 100 mg/kg caused mild seizures in 30% of rats [1]. The acute intravenous LD50 in mice was >1500 mg/kg [3]. No significant toxicity was observed in rats treated with doses up to 100 mg/kg for 7 consecutive days (serum ALT/AST/creatinine levels did not change) [3]. Potential neurotoxicity (risk of seizures) is an important safety concern, especially in patients with high doses or impaired blood-brain barrier [1].

Additional Infomation
Cefoselis sulfate is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic sulfate. It is functionally related to cephalosporin antibiotics.
See also: Cephalosporin antibiotics (note moved to).
Cephalosporin sulfate (FK-037) is a fourth-generation broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic[2][3]
- Its antibacterial mechanism involves binding to bacterial penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs, especially PBP2 and PBP3), inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, and ultimately leading to bacterial cell lysis[3]
- It has good blood-brain barrier penetration, making it a potential candidate drug for treating central nervous system (CNS) infections caused by susceptible bacteria[1]
- It is stable against most β-lactamases and effective against Gram-negative bacteria that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), but ineffective against strains that produce metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs)[2]
- The main safety concern is dose-dependent neurotoxicity (induction of seizures), which is mediated by the release of glutamate from cortical neurons[1]- Due to poor oral bioavailability, there is no oral formulation available; it can only be administered intravenously.[3]
