Opis

This volume reviews recent studies on antibiotics in Japan. Beta- lactams and other antimicrobial agents are described, with particular emphasis given to oral cephalosporins. Parenteral cephems and related compounds pertaining to compound synthesis, drug efficiency, oral absorption, and physicochemical and biochemical properties. Second and third generation cephalosporins and major Beta-lactam antibiotics developed in Japan are examined. Also discussed are nonclassical Beta-lactam type antibotics - penems, carbapenems and monobactams - in addition to aminoglycosides and macrolides. This book provides a contribution to the study of antibiotic structure-activity relationships based on recent research findings, and should serve as a useful reference to academics and researchers in the fields of antibiotic design and synthesis, drug delivery, drug mechanisms and efficacy, biochemistry and microbiology are also covered.
