Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Cephalexin uptake by human MATE1-expressing human embryonic kidney 293 cells exhibits saturable kinetics with K(m) = 5.9 mM and a bell-shaped pH profile with a maximum at pH 7.0. Cephalexin results in overestimation of glucose concentration, but only in the samples that contain the highest antimicrobial concentration (2,400microg/mL) and only for the tablet. Cephalexin increases the activity of superficial mucous cells and orifice mucous cells of gastric glands, and inhibits the activity of cervix mucous cells.
