Cefapirin is an antibiotic that is used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria . It is produced semisynthetically and belongs to the class of cephalosporins of the 1st generation.
In Germany, cefapirin is only approved for use in animals; it is not used in human medicine.
indication
Cefapirine has a broad spectrum of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Cefapirin, like most cephalosporins, is therefore effective in treating many infections such as otitis media or urinary tract infections. Compared to beta-lactamases is Cefapirin resistant than penicillins . It can therefore be used against staphylococcal infections.
In veterinary medicine, cefapirin is used to treat or prevent mastitis in cows, and also to treat subacute and chronic endometritis in cows .
Working principle
The cefapirin molecules bind to specific penicillin- binding proteins , which are located in the bacterial cell wall. This prevents further synthesis of the bacterial cell wall.
Application
Cefapirin is administered intramammary (ie through the teat canal into the mammary gland) or intrauterine .
Chemical-pharmaceutical information
The water-soluble cefapirine sodium and cefapirine benzathine (2: 1) are used in pharmaceuticals.
Cefapirin should be stored dry and at room temperature so it can be used for 24 months. A reconstituted solution can be kept at room temperature for 12 hours and in the refrigerator for 10 days. Color changes can occur, but these do not indicate a loss of effectiveness.
Side effects
The most common side effects are hypersensitivity reactions and changes in liver function. However, signs of white blood cell disorder and anemia could also be seen.
synthesis
The synthesis of cefapirine takes place via a semisynthesis , which in this case means the acylation of an amino group . The 7-aminocephalospranic acid (7-ACA for short) to be acylated is converted from penicillin G with the help of N , N ′ -bis (trimethylsilyl) urea through a chemical reaction . The 7-ACA is then acylated in a dehydrochlorinating environment.
