New cephamycin antibiotic, CS-1170: binding affinity to penicillin-binding proteins and inhibition of peptidoglycan cross-linking reactions in Escherichia coli. 1978

S Ohya, and M Yamazaki, and S Sugawara, and S Tamaki, and M Matsuhashi

The binding activity of CS-1170, a new cephamycin antibiotic, to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in Escherichia coli and Proteus species and the potency of this antibiotic in vitro to inhibit enzymes involved in peptidoglycan cross-linking in E. coli were tested. Similar experiments were carried out with the 7alpha-H analog of CS-1170, R-45656, and the results were compared with those obtained with CS-1170. CS-1170 showed high affinities (compared with that of penicillin G) for E. coli PBP-1A, -1Bs, and -3, the PBPs of higher molecular weight, but not PBP-2. It also inhibited the in vitro peptidoglycan cross linking reaction and concomitant release of d-alanine at very low concentrations (approximately its minimal inhibitory concentration). This antibiotic also showed very high affinity for PBP-4, -5, and -6, the PBPs of lower molecular weight, and at extremely low concentrations it inhibited d-alanine carboxypeptidases IA and IB, corresponding to PBP-5/6 and PBP-4, respectively. CS-1170 seemed to be resistant to the beta-lactamase activity of PBP-5 and -6 in E. coli and Proteus species. R-45656 showed as high an affinity for PBP-1A, -1Bs, and -3 as CS-1170, but unlike CS-1170, it had low affinities for PBP-4, -5, and -6. The concentrations of R-45656 required for inhibition of d-alanine carboxypeptidases IA and IB were also much higher than those of CS-1170. R-45656 showed rather low activities in inhibiting the in vitro cross-linking reaction of peptidoglycan and concomitant release of d-alanine. Synergism was observed in 9 of 22 strains examined between CS-1170 and mecillinam, which bound specifically to PBP-2.

D010400	Penicillin G	A penicillin derivative commonly used in the form of its sodium or potassium salts in the treatment of a variety of infections. It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative cocci. It has also been used as an experimental convulsant because of its actions on GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID mediated synaptic transmission.

D010406	Penicillins	A group of antibiotics that contain 6-aminopenicillanic acid with a side chain attached to the 6-amino group. The penicillin nucleus is the chief structural requirement for biological activity. The side-chain structure determines many of the antibacterial and pharmacological characteristics.

D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
