Application
Cephalothin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to study the mechanism of liposome encapsulated antibiotics[1], strategies for co-opting β-lactamases of Gram-negative bacteria for treatment of antibiotics[2], and for immunology studies in relation to antibiotics.[3] It is used to study the effect of expression, binding and inhibition of penicillin-binding proteins especially PBP6 on bacterial cell wall mucopeptide synthesis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Mode of Action: Disrupts the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls.
Antimicrobial spectrum: Effective aginast both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Mode of Resistance: Production of cephalosporinase will inactivate the product.

Multilamellar liposomes (lipid bilayer vesicles) composed of phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, and phosphatidylserine (molar ratio, 6:3:1) were produced and then made to entrap an aqueous solution of cephalothin. Resident murine peritoneal macrophages were shown to be capable of interiorizing the liposome-antibiotic complex;
