Cephalosporin C History

In1948, cephalosporin compounds were first isolated from cultures of Cephalosporium acremonium from a sewer in Sardinia by Italian scientist Giuseppe Brotzu. He noticed that these cultures produced substances that were effective against Salmonella typhi, the cause of typhoid fever, which had beta-lactamase. Researchers at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at the University of Oxford isolated cephalosporin C(61-24-5). The cephalosporin nucleus, 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), was derived from cephalosporin C(61-24-5) and proved to be analogous to the penicillin nucleus 6-aminopenicillanic acid, but it was not sufficiently potent for clinical use. Modification of the 7-ACA side-chains resulted in the development of useful antibiotic agents, and the first agent cephalothin (cefalotin) was launched by Eli Lilly in 1964.

Cephalosporin C Production

Cephalosporin C(61-24-5), which itself is not antibacterial, is obtained from a species of fungus. Chemical modification of this structure to 7-aminocephalosporanic acid by removal of the R-C=O group allows the preparation of the active cephalosporins such as cephalexin and cephaloglycin.
