Cefaloglycin  (Synonyms: Cephaloglycin)

Cefaloglycin (Cephaloglycin) is an orally active nephrotoxic β-lactam cephalosporin antibiotic with antibacterial activity. Cefaloglycin is activity against Gram-Positive cocci other than enterococci. Cefaloglycin is toxic to mitochondrial substrate uptake and respiration^[1][2][3].

Gram-Positive cocci^[2]

Cefaclor to be comparable to Cephaloglycin in terms of in vitro activity against S. pyogenes and somewhat superior to Cephalexin^[2].

Respiration with and the uptake of succinate and ADP are measured in rabbit renal cortical mitochondria exposed for 2 to 6 h to 300 to 3,000 µg of Cefaloglycin (Cephaloglycin) per mL and then washed to remove the antibiotic. Cefaloglycin (Cephaloglycin) irreversibly reduces both respiration and succinate uptake. The pattern of in vitro injury of Cefaloglycin to mitochondrial substrate uptake and respiration evolves in a time-dependent and concentration-dependent manner^[1].
