A previously outlined general procedure for preparing various 3-substituted cephalosporins from the penicillin nucleus has been used, with modifications where required, to prepare a series of analogues of cephalexin with various substituents in the 3-methyl group. The 3-substituents most conducive to broad-spectrum antibacterial activity were 3-pyridylmethyl and m- or p-carboxybenzyl. The compounds were only poorly absorbed by the oral route in mice, but the 3-(carboxybenzyl) compounds gave more prolonged useful serum levels than the usual cephalosporins.

D002506 Cephalexin A semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic with antimicrobial activity similar to that of CEPHALORIDINE or CEPHALOTHIN, but somewhat less potent. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. 5-Thia-1-azabicyclo(4.2.0)oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-((aminophenylacetyl)amino)-3-methyl-8-oxo-, (6R-(6alpha,7beta(R*)))-,Cefalexin,Cephalexin Dihydride,Cephalexin Hemihydrate,Cephalexin Hydrochloride,Cephalexin Monohydrate,Cephalexin Monohydrochloride,Cephalexin Monohydrochloride, Monohydrate,Cephalexin, (6R-(6alpha,7alpha(R*)))-Isomer,Cephalexin, (6R-(6alpha,7beta(S*)))-Isomer,Cephalexin, (6R-(6alpha,7beta))-Isomer,Cephalexin, Monosodium Salt,Cephalexin, Monosodium Salt, (6R-(6alpha,7beta))-Isomer,Ceporexine,Palitrex
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria
D013211 Staphylococcus aureus Potentially pathogenic bacteria found in nasal membranes, skin, hair follicles, and perineum of warm-blooded animals. They may cause a wide range of infections and intoxications.
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
