1. [Cefuzonam penetration into cerebrospinal fluid]
Y Yasumoto, Y Kadota, K Kumami, M Miyajima, O Tsuji, H Nakano, K Matsumura Jpn J Antibiot. 1993 Jan;46(1):36-43.
We studied the penetration of cefuzonam (CZON) into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in 20 patients with neurosurgical diseases. Influences of the presence of meningeal reaction and the intensity of brain damage on CSF penetration of CZON were also examined. Concentrations of CZON in serum and CSF were determined using the thin-layer cup method before and 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after 2 g of CZON was administered intravenously. The serum concentration at 1 hour was 60.4 +/- 31.3 (mean +/- S.D.) microgram/ml, then rapidly decreased to 2.1 +/- 2.3 micrograms/ml at 6 hours. In contrast, the CSF concentration gradually increased, reached a peak level of 0.319 +/- 0.313 micrograms/ml at 4 hours and then slowly decreased to 0.273 +/- 0.249 micrograms/ml at 6 hours. The CSF penetration ration: CZON ([CSF]/[serum]) was 5.6% at 4 hours. The peak CSF concentration in patients with meningeal reaction (0.465 +/- 0.364 micrograms/ml at 2 hours) was about 2-fold higher than that in those without the reaction (0.249 +/- 0.223 micrograms/ml at 4 hours). The peak CSF concentrations in patients with slight, moderate, and severe brain damage were 0.231 +/- 0.133 micrograms/ml at 4 hours, 0.270 +/- 0.232 micrograms/ml at 4 hours, and 0.680 +/- 0.467 micrograms/ml at 2 hours, respectively. CSF penetration of CZON was augmented in patients with meningeal reaction or severe brain damage. These findings indicate that the concentration of CZON in CSF after intravenous administration is sufficient for treatment of meningitis or infections after neurosurgical operations caused by such bacteria as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
2. Bone cement not weakened by cefuzonam powder
M Morita, H Aritomi Acta Orthop Scand. 1991 Jun;62(3):232-7. doi: 10.3109/17453679108993599.
We report tensile, shearing, and bending tests on bone cement to which cefuzonam sodium (Cosmosin), a third generation cephalosporin, had been mixed. Mixing 3 g of cefuzonam sodium to 40 g of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) polymer did not diminish the strength of the bone cement in any of the tests. We speculated that this lack of influence was because the cefuzonam sodium powder used was in the form of relatively uniform-sized spheres and therefore did not become the origin of stress concentration within the cement.
3. Comparison of the in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of cefepime (BMY-28142) with ceftazidime, cefuzonam, cefotaxime and cefmenoxime
S Masuyoshi, M Hiraoka, M Inoue, K Tomatsu, M Hirano, S Mitsuhashi Drugs Exp Clin Res. 1989;15(1):1-10.
Cefepime (BMY-28142), a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, was evaluated for in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities in comparison with ceftazidime, cefuzonam, cefotaxime and cefmenoxime. Cefepime showed a well-balanced, broad spectrum of activity against a number of clinical isolates collected in Japan. The activity of cefepime against Gram-positive bacteria was several times greater than that of ceftazidime, nearly comparable to cefotaxime and cefmenoxime, and slightly weaker than cefuzonam. Against Enterobacteriaceae, cefepime showed superior activity to the reference cephalosporins against Proteus inconstans, Providencia rettgeri, Morganella morganii, Citrobacter freundii and Enterobacter cloacae. The activity of cefepime against Pseudomonas aeruginosa was nearly comparable to that of ceftazidime. Cefotaxime, cefuzonam and cefmenoxime were substantially less active against P. aeruginosa. Cefepime was more stable than cefuzonam, cefotaxime and cefmenoxime to various types of beta-lactamases from Gram-negative bacteria. The high in vitro activity of cefepime was reflected in its in vivo efficacy against experimental infections in normal and immuno-suppressed mice. Cefepime was the most effective among the cephalosporins tested against four Gram-negative bacterial infections.
