Cefdinir with Antacid and Metal Complexation and Investigation of Antimicrobial Activity, In-Vitro Demonstration

The principal aim of the present study was to probe the in vitro interactions of Cefdinir with essential metal salt and antacid to determine the bioavailability in terms of antimicrobial activity of Cefdinir after drug metal interactions at pH 7.4. Cefdinir is a cephalosporin antibiotic that is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria. Since the presence of compelling ligand may affect the bioavailability of a metal in the blood or tissues, therefore in order to study the portable interaction of Cefdinir with essential and trace elements present in the body. Cefdinir has been interacted with Zn (metal), Mg(antacid) as an in-vitro analysis. Also, the anti-microbial activity of the drug and the complexes were determined. It has observed that Cefdinir interacts with metal on a pH 7.4, the stability constant of these complexes was determined in order to evaluate their possible in vivo implications. This research work confirms that there was a possible interaction between the Cefdinir and metal Zn and antacid Mg which was confirms by jobs plot method and by antimicrobial investigation it was confirmed that the zone of inhibition of Cefdinir with Metal Zn and antacid Mg reduced from 16 mm to 13mm & 12mm respectfully. The standard Cefdinir disk also tested against Staphylococcus aureus. In order to investigate the number of metal ions involved in the complexation with Cefdinir complexes were elucidated by plotting various uv spectrophotometric methods.


Introduction
A drug interaction can simply be defined as an interaction between a drug and any other substance that prevents the drug from performing as expected. A drug interaction is a situation in which a sub stance affects the activity of a drug when both are administered together. This action can be synergistic or antagonistic or a new effect can be produced that neither produces on its own. Typically, interactions between drugs come to mind. However, interactions may also exist between drugs and foods, as well as drugs and medicinal plants or herbs. People taking antidepressant drugs such as monoamine oxidize inhibitors should not take food containing tyramine as hypertensive crisis may occur. These interactions may occur out of accidental misuse or due to lack of knowledge about the active ingredients involved in the relevant substances [1]. Two drugs are antagonistic when their interaction causes a decrease in the effects of one or both of the drugs [2,3]. The different responses of a receptor to the action of a drug has resulted in a number of classifications, which use terms such as "partial agonist", "competitive agonist" etc. These concepts have fundamental applications in the pharmacodynamics of these interactions. The proliferation of existing classifications at this level, along with the fact that the exact reaction mechanisms for many drugs are not well understood means that it is almost impossible to offer a clear classification for these concepts. It is even likely that many authors would misapply any given classification [4] The important metal present in the body is iron which plays a central role in all living cells.
Generally iron complexes are used in the transport of oxygen in the blood and tissues [5]. An adult at rest consumes 250ml of pure oxygen per minute, this oxygen carried by the metal complex DOI: 10.26717/BJSTR.2020.26.004292 transport system known heame, alloying the oxygen to leave the blood when it reaches the tissue. The heame group is metal complex, with iron as central metal atom, which bind or released molecular oxygen [6]. Cephradine is a semisynthetic cephalosporin antibiotic developed at the Squibb Institute for Medical Research , chemically designed as 7-[D-2-amino-(1,4-cyclohexadiene-1-yl)acetamido]-3-methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azyabicyclo-octa-2-ene-2-carboxylic Acid or 7-[2-amino-2-(1,4-cyclohexadienyl)acetamido]-desacetylcephalosporanic acid [7]. It is defined as a hydrated form containing 3-6% of water, which is not a stoichiometric hydrate since the water moves freely in the crystal lattice [8]. Cephradine dihydrate, which crystallizes from aqueous solution under controlled conditions, is very stable and resistant to oxidation. However, on dehydration the dehydrate becomes very unstable. Cefdinir is used to treat pneumonia, strep throat, otitis media etc.

Materials and Methods
All the substances used here were analytical grade and were

Preparation of Metal Solutions
For the preparation of 0.01M metal solution, zinc sulfate hepta hydrate (0.28754gm) was weighed accurately and introduced with the help of funnel in 100ml volumetric flask separately, dissolved in demineralized water and make up to the mark with the same solvent.
These primary solutions were further diluted ten folds in the same solvent and the final solutions were 0.0001M concentration.

Preparation of Antacid Solutions
For the preparation of 0.01M antacid solution, magnesium hydroxide (0.0740gm) was weighed accurately and introduced with the help of funnel in 100ml volumetric flask separately, dissolved in demineralized water and make up to the mark with the same solvent. These primary solutions were further diluted ten folds in the same solvent and the final solutions were 0.0001M concentration.

Preparation of Buffer Solutionstable
To prepare buffer solution 1.76gm of disodium hydrogen phosphate was dissolved in demineralized water with 2.43gm of solution dihydrogen phosphate and pH was adjusted to 7.4 and the volume was made to 1000ml with the same solution.

Preparation of Standard Curve of Cefdinir
Cefdinir stock solution at pH 7.4 and concentration of 1x10 -

Disc Diffusion Method
Solution of known concentration (3µg/ml) of the test samples are made by dissolving measured amount of the samples in calculated volume of solvents. Dried and sterilized filter paper discs (6mm diameter) are then impregnated with known amounts of the test substances using micropipette [9]. Discs containing the test material are placed on nutrient agar medium uniformly seeded with the test microorganism, Standard antibiotic discs and blank discs are used as positive and negative control. These plates are then kept at low temperature (4 o C) for 24 hours to allow maximum diffusion.
