Cefoperazone-d5 is a deuterated compound of Cefoperazone. Cefoperazone has a CAS number of 62893-19-0. Cefoperazone binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. PBPs are enzymes involved in the terminal stages of assembling the bacterial cell wall and in reshaping the cell wall during growth and division. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity. It can inhibit rMrp2-mediated [3H]E217βG uptake (IC50: 199 μM).
