1. The reaction of cephalosporins with ammonia, amino acids and other simple amino compounds in weakly alkaline aqueous solutions yields labile compounds with λmax. 230nm. The reaction of deacetyl- and deacetoxy-cephalosporins under similar conditions yields compounds with λmax. 260nm. 2. Hydrolysis with a β-lactamase results in the formation of compounds with λmax. 230nm from deacetylcephalosporins and cephalosporins, but not from deacetoxycephalosporins. 3. These different compounds decompose to give penaldates and penamaldates derived from the side chain and the carbon atoms of the β-lactam ring. 4. Derivatives similar to those obtained with simple amino compounds appear to be formed when cephalosporins and their analogues react with lysine polymers. 5. Some of the chemical and physical properties of the various derivatives have been studied and tentative structures for them are proposed. 6. Possible implications of the results in relation to the immunological properties of the cephalosporins are discussed.

SummaryIn 8 patients on no oral intake and with parenteral alimentation, administration of cephalosporins with N-methyl-thiotetrazole side chain (moxalactam, cefamandole), was associated with prolongation of prothrombin time, appearance in the circulation of descarboxy-prothrombin (counter immunoelectrophoresis and echis carinatus assay) and diminution of protein C. Acute administration of 10 mg vitamin Ki was followed by the transient appearance of vitamin K1 2,3-epoxide, indicating an impaired hepatocellular regeneration of vitamin K1 from the epoxide. Impaired hepatic vitamin K1 metabolism, tentatively ascribed to the N-methyl-thiotetrazole group, is one (but possibly not the only) cause of bleeding complications and depression of vitamin K1dependent procoagulants in patients treated with the new class of cephalosporins.

ABSTRACT 17α-hydroxyprogesterone-4-14C-17α-caproate (HPC), a long-acting progestational agent, was incubated with homogenates of rat liver and human placenta. The rat liver was found to reduce Ring A of HPC under anaerobic conditions to form allopregnane-3β,17α-diol-20-one-17α-caproate and pregnane-3β,17α-diol-20-one-17α-caproate, the allopregnane isomer being the major product. The caproic acid ester was neither removed nor altered during the incubation. Placental tissue did not attack HPC under conditions where the 20-ketone of progesterone was reduced. It is postulated that this absence of attack on the side chain is due to steric hindrance from the caproate ester, and that this may account for the prolonged action of HPC.
