Abstract excerpt
Cephalosporins, derivatives of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), are potent antibacterial agents. The toxicity prediction of these compounds is of considerable importance in new drug development. Zebrafish embryo toxicity testing was thought to be suitable for evaluation of the toxic properties of cephalosporins. Here, five kinds of cephalosporins and their isomers were used for investigation of the toxic...
