Etymology of CEPHAMEZINE

The word "Cephamezine" is a compound word derived from two components: "Cepha-" and "-mezine".

1. Cepha-: The prefix "Cepha-" is derived from the class of antibiotics known as cephalosporins. Cephalosporins are a group of beta-lactam antibiotics that are structurally and functionally similar to penicillins. They were first isolated from a fungus called Cephalosporium acremonium in 1945 by Italian scientist Giuseppe Brotzu. The name "cephalosporin" itself comes from the Greek words "kephalē" (meaning head) and "sporos" (meaning seed), referring to the spore-bearing structures of the fungus.

2. -mezine: The suffix "-mezine" indicates that the compound is a phenyl methyl thiazole antibiotic.
