cefuroxime sodium

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 (Cefuroxime sodium salt) 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.

Cefuroxime (Cephuroxime) is an orally active second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with antimicrobial activity that inhibits both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and is used in the study of soft tissue infections.

Cefuroxime-d3 is a deuterated compound of Cefuroxime. Cefuroxime has a CAS number of 55268-75-2.
