Binding of latamoxef (moxalactam) and its decarboxylated derivative to Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa penicillin-binding proteins. 1985

R Labia, and P Baron, and J M Masson

The binding of latamoxef (moxalactam) and of a decarboxylated derivative to Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) was measured by competition experiments with 125I-radiolabelled penicillin X. Latamoxef and the decarboxylated derivative were highly bound to most of the PBPs, with the exception of PBP-2. As the two compounds possess a phenolic side-chain, they also could be radiolabelled with 125I. The proteins thus labelled by these derivatives were qualitatively the same as those labelled by 125I-penicillin X, except for PBP-2 which was not labelled by the iodo derivatives of latamoxef and its decarboxylated derivative, and PBP-1c (in E. coli) which is labelled only poorly by the radioactive penicillin. No important difference between latamoxef and its decarboxylated derivative was found, and the same observation was made for penicillin G and carbenicillin. Thus, it was concluded that the carboxylic group of latamoxef does not play an important role in affinity for the targets.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine
D009070 Moxalactam Broad- spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic similar in structure to the CEPHALOSPORINS except for the substitution of an oxaazabicyclo moiety for the thiaazabicyclo moiety of certain CEPHALOSPORINS. It has been proposed especially for the meningitides because it passes the blood-brain barrier and for anaerobic infections. 1-Oxacephalosporin,6059-S,Disodium Latamoxef,Disodium Moxalactam,Festamoxin,Lamoxactam,Latamoxef,Lilly 127935,Ly-127935,Ly127935,Moxalactam Disodium,S-6059,Shiomarin,1 Oxacephalosporin,6059 S,6059S,Disodium, Moxalactam,Latamoxef, Disodium,Ly 127935,Moxalactam, Disodium,S 6059,S6059
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
