Description

Cefuroxime sodium is an enteral or oral second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefuroxime sodium is an organic molecular entity.|Cefuroxime Sodium is the sodium salt form of cefuroxime and a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactamase resistant, second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Cefuroxime sodium inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by inactivating penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) thereby interfering with the final transpeptidation step required for cross-linking of peptidoglycan units which are a component of the cell wall. Lack of cross-linking results in a reduction of cell wall stability and leads to cell lysis.|Broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic resistant to beta-lactamase. It has been proposed for infections with gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, GONORRHEA, and HAEMOPHILUS.

Cefuroxime sodium is marketed by Eli Lilly and Company under the trade name of Kefurox® and by Glaxo Limited under the trade name of Zinacef®. Cefuroxime sodium is an off-white to white amorphous powder. Cefuroxime sodium is an injectable second generation, semisynthetic, broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic with excellent activity in vitro, enhanced stability to many enterobacterial β-lactamases and favorable pharmacokinetic properties.It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It is effective for treating meningitis, lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, gonorrhea, septicemia, skin and skin infections, bone and joint infections, and is approved for surgical prophylaxis.

Drug Function and Efficacy

The second generation cephalosporin antibiotics have similar or slightly worse antibacterial activity against Gram-positive cocci than the first generation cephalosporins, but are quite stable against β-lactamase produced by Staphylococci and Gram-negative bacilli. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococci, Enterococci and Listeria are resistant, and other positive cocci (including anaerobic cocci) are sensitive to this product. The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus is worse than that of cefazolin, and 1-2 mg/L can inhibit all Staphylococcus aureus that are sensitive and resistant to penicillin, respectively. It has strong antibacterial activity against Haemophilus influenzae, and Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, etc. may be sensitive to this product; indole-positive Proteus, Citrobacter and Acinetobacter are poorly sensitive to this product, Serratia is mostly resistant, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Campylobacter and Bacteroides fragilis are resistant to this product. Its mechanism of action is to bind to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on the bacterial cell membrane, acylate the transpeptidase, inhibit the synthesis of the bacterial septum and cell wall, affect the cross-linking of the cell wall mucopeptide components, inhibit cell division and growth, elongate the bacterial morphology, and finally dissolve and die.
