Application

Cefaclor has been used in the heterologous expression ofAaOr7andAaOr8inXenopus laevisoocytes. It has also been used in cultures of isolated trigeminal ganglion (TG) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons.

Cefaclor is used to study urinary tract, intra-abdominal, and Haemophilus influenzae infections . It is used to study the mechanism of human renal organic anion and peptide transporters such as hOAT1, hPEPT1, and hPEPT2 and to study the effects of inhibition of penicillin-binding proteins on bacterial cell wall mucopeptide synthesis .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cefaclor is a second generation cephalosporin with broad spectrum activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins and thereby inhibits the cell wall synthesis causing cell death.
