Abstract

The fate of the orally effective antibiotic D-cephaloglycin and its much less active L-enantiomer has been studied in the rat. D-Cephaloglycin-14C is metabolized by two pathways, (1) hydrolysis of the amide linkage to form D-2-phenylglycine-14C and (2) deacetylation to form deacetyl-D-cephaloglycin-14C. D-Cephaloglycin is absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract at least in part as the intact antibiotic, L-Cephaloglycin-14C is rapidly metabolized to L-2-phenylglycine-14C and its metabolites. In contrast to the results with D-cephaloglycin-14C, no intact L-cephaloglycin-14C or deacetyl-L-cephaloglycin was excreted in the urine of rats.
