Cefoselis sulfate

Description

Cefoselis is a new fourth-generation cephalosporin and was launched in Japan as a parenteral antibiotic for a variety of infections including Staphylococcus aureus (particularly the methicillin-resistant MRSA) and Pseudornonas aeruginosa. It can be prepared in 3 related ways, all using 2- pyrazolomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic as the key intermediate. In preclinical studies, Cefolesis had better MIC50s than Ceftazidime against Streptococcus pneurnoniae or Staphflococcus aureus (methicillin-sensitive MSSA or resistant MRSA) and showed significant antibacterial activity against Citrobacter and Enterobacter.
Cefolesis is well tolerated in clinical studies, being eliminated mainly via glomerular filtration in humans.
