3-lactams penicillins

No single product can exemplify all the important features of antibiotie manufaeture. Benzylpenicillin is a /Mactam. Brief aeeounts are given of the manufaeture of two other /3-lactams, penicillin V (phenoxymethylpenicillin) and cephalosporin C, to illustrate further key points. 

Patients allergic to /3-lactams should receive a quinolone. Persons unable to tolerate a /3-lactam (penicillin or cephalosporin) or a quinolone should receive spectinomycin. 

An interesting example of MIP-LC analytics was presented in a paper, which focused on the separation of antibiotics of similar structures. Columns are (commercially) available to separate penicillins ( 3-lactams) from other antibiotics. However, if the quantification of each of the 3-lactam compounds is required, a more selective stationary phase has to be found. Molecular imprinting allows the fabrication of phases specifically for each 3-lactam. If for instance the concentration of the P-lactam oxacillin in a food sample has to be selectively determined, a polymer imprinted with oxacillin is the right choice. Compared to a standard stationary phase, which only allowed the separation of the entire group of (5-lactams from other non-(3-lactam analytes (e. g., bacitracin), the MIP enables the separation of the imprinted species from the pair of non-imprinted 3-lactams penicillin V and penicillin G see Fig. 6 [29,30].

Penicillin, the first natural antibiotic produced by genus Penicillium, discovered in 1928 by Fleming, as well as sulfonamides, the first chemotherapeutic agents discovered in the 1930s, lead a long list of currently known antibiotics. Besides 3-lactams (penicillins and cephalosporines) and sulfonamides, the list includes aminoglycosides, macrolides, tetracyclines, quinolones, peptides, polyether ionophores, ri-famycins, linkosamides, coumarins, nitrofurans, nitro heterocytes, chloramphenicol, and others. 

No single product can exemplify all the important features of antibiotic manufacture. Ben-zylpenicillin is a (3-lactam. Brief accounts are given of the manufacture of two other (3-lactams, penicillin V (phenoxymethylpenicillin) and cephalosporin C, to illustrate further key points. However, important as the (3-lactams are, they are but one of many families of antibiotics (Chapter 10). Furthermore, most industrial microorganisms used to make (3-lactams are fungi this is atypical of antibiotics as a whole where bacteria, particularly Streptomyces spp., predominate. Chapter 10 and some of the further reading at the end of this chapter provide the broad perspective, including information on those antibiotics made by total or partial chemical synthesis. 

In previous papers/ we reported the effect of column temperature on resolution in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) to separate various (3-lactams (penicillins and cephalosporins) from a single sample. In this work we describe the effect of column temperature and volume fraction of an organic solvent on resolution in the isocratic elution conditions of some (3-lactam antibiotics.
