MeSH

A cephalorsporin antibiotic.

Year introduced: 1973(1972)

Substances that inhibit the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA.

Year introduced: 2004(1963)

A class of heterocyclic compounds that include a two-ring fused structure. Both aromatic and non-aromatic ring structures are included in this category.

Year introduced: 1998

Multiple ring heterocyclic compounds containing two or more rings that share two atoms and one bond in common.

Year introduced: 2017

Organic compounds containing the -CO-NH2 radical. Amides are derived from acids by replacement of -OH by -NH2 or from ammonia by the replacement of H by an acyl group. (From Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)

A semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic with antimicrobial activity similar to that of CEPHALORIDINE or CEPHALOTHIN, but somewhat less potent. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.

Year introduced: 1973 (1972)

A group of broad-spectrum antibiotics first isolated from the Mediterranean fungus ACREMONIUM. They contain the beta-lactam moiety thia-azabicyclo-octenecarboxylic acid also called 7-aminocephalosporanic acid.

Year introduced: 1966(1965)

Cyclic compounds that include atoms other than carbon in their ring structure.

Four-membered cyclic AMIDES, best known for the PENICILLINS based on a bicyclo-thiazolidine, as well as the CEPHALOSPORINS based on a bicyclo-thiazine, and including monocyclic MONOBACTAMS. The BETA-LACTAMASES hydrolyze the beta lactam ring, accounting for BETA-LACTAM RESISTANCE of infective bacteria.

Year introduced: 2005

Cyclic AMIDES formed from aminocarboxylic acids by the elimination of water. Lactims are the enol forms of lactams.

Year introduced: 1974(1972)

A broad class of substances containing carbon and its derivatives. Many of these chemicals will frequently contain hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. They exist in either carbon chain or carbon ring form.

Year introduced: 1998

Inorganic or organic compounds that contain sulfur as an integral part of the molecule.

Year introduced: 1998

Year introduced: PYRIDOBENZOTHIAZINES was heading 1963-1984

A group of pharmacologic activities, effects on living systems and the environment, and modes of employment of drugs and chemicals. They are broken into actions, which describe their effects, and uses, which describe how they are employed.

Year introduced: 1999

Substances that prevent infectious agents or organisms from spreading or kill infectious agents in order to prevent the spread of infection.

A broad category of chemical actions and uses that result in the prevention, treatment, cure or diagnosis of disease. Included here are drugs and chemicals that act by altering normal body functions, such as the REPRODUCTIVE CONTROL AGENTS and ANESTHETICS. Effects of chemicals on the environment are also included.

Year introduced: 2004(1999)

Uses of chemicals which affect the course of conditions, diseases, syndromes or pathology to benefit the health of an individual.
