Chemical speciation and molecular modelling studies have been carried out f
or accessing the interaction of metal ions with cephalothin and distributio
n of metal cephalothin species in biological fluids. Chemical speciation ha
s been carried out using the program BEST and SPE and the method of Bjerrum
and Calvin, as modified by Irving and Rossotti has been used to find out t
he values of stability constants. The: order of stability constants for met
al complexes is found to be:
Mg(II) < Mn(II) < Co(II) < Cd(II) < Zn(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) Molecular mode
lling studies have been carried out by using HyperChem Suite release 5.1 Pr
ofessional Version for molecular modelling studies. It is found that Zn(II)
binds to cephalothin through the nitrogen of dihydrothiazine ring and carb
oxylate group at C-4.
