Abstract: | High concentrations of 1 or 10 mmol/l latamoxef (LMOX), cefamandole (CMD) or cefoperazone (CPZ) in vitro non-competitively inhibit to a small extent the alcohol dehydrogenase isolated from rat liver in the presence of ethanol as a substrate, as is shown by enzyme-kinetic data evaluated in a Lineweaver-Burk diagram. This observation may serve as an approach to partially explain a possible delay of ethanol elimination from the blood after pretreatment with these beta-lactam antibiotics. |
