Cefadroxil
Based on 5 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Cefadroxil is an orally active broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefadroxil inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis and enhances the expression of glutamate transporter-1. Cefadroxil is dependent on the intestinal peptide transporter PepT1 for small intestinal absorption. Cefadroxil has inhibitory and bactericidal activity against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and has analgesic effects on neuropathic pain.

Cefadroxil has similar inhibitory activity against most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as Cephalexin and Cephradine (HY-B1156), but is twice as active as Cephalexin (HY-B0200) against Streptococcus pyogenes[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Cefadroxil (150 mg/kg; p.o.) exerts analgesic effects on mechanical allodynia in rats and mice with spared nerve injury (SNI) model, and also shows analgesic effect on cold pain in mice[4].
Cefadroxil (0.39-100 mg/kg; p.o.; single dose or three times at 24, 27, and 30 h) is more effective than Cephalexin in the rat streptococcal pneumonia model, with a larger AUC in lung tissue and a longer half-life[6].
