Cefsulodin sodium salt hydrate
Cefsulodin sodium salt hydrate (CAS: 52152-93-9), with the empirical formula C22H19N4NaO8S2 · xH2O, is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It exhibits specific activity against *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*. This compound is utilised in laboratory settings, notably in CIN agar for the selective isolation of microorganisms such as *E. coli*. It also serves as a tool in research to investigate bacterial cell wall synthesis mechanisms and multidrug resistance.

Selective Media Component
Cefsulodin sodium salt hydrate is incorporated into CIN (cefsulodin-Irgasan-novobiocin) agar. This selective medium is crucial for the isolation and identification of specific microorganisms, particularly differentiating against Gram-positive bacteria.
Antibacterial Research
Its specific activity against *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* makes it valuable for studying the efficacy and mechanisms of action of cephalosporin antibiotics. This includes research into bacterial cell wall synthesis and the role of penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).
Drug Efflux Transport Studies
Cefsulodin has been employed as a substrate to investigate the function of multidrug resistance-associated proteins (MRPs) and their role in the transport of various molecules, such as prostaglandin E2, across biological barriers like the blood-brain barrier.

| Application | Cefsulodin is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has very specific activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cefuslodin is used in CIN (cefsulodin-Irgasan-novobiocin) agar to select for microorganisms such as E. coli. Cefsulodin is a substrate for rat Oatp1a4. It has been used to study multidrug resistance-associated protein 4 in efflux transport of prostaglandin E2 across the mouse blood-brain barrier1. Cefsulodin is used to study the effect of expression, binding, and inhibition of PBP1 and other penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on bacterial cell wall mucopeptide synthesis. |
