Abstract
We synthesized 7-substituted-3-(2,4-dinitrostyryl)cephalosporin derivatives which were Nitrocefin analogs, for detecting extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) specifically. HMRZ-86 which has carboxypropyloxyimino group on 7-aminothiazolacetamide substituent were not hydrolyzed by class A, C and D β-lactamases, but it was hydrolyzed by ESBL and metallo β-lactamase (class B), then its color changed from yellow to red. The hydrolysis of metallo β-lactamase was inhibited by adding sodium mercapto acetic acid (SMA). Therefore HMRZ-86 is a useful chromogenic agent to detect ESBL specifically.
