Fig 1 General structure of cephalosporins and structures of cephalosporins used in the study1 showing the R1 methoxyimino group (magenta) and the R2 ester and thioether groups (blue and red, respectively). Space-filling models show that, compared with cefodizime, the thioether group of ceftriaxone is at least partially hindered by the adjacent ring N-methyl group, perhaps impeding IgE binding.
