cephalosporin antibiotic

Cefotiam hydrochloride (SCE-963 hydrochloride) is the hydrochloride salt form of cefotiam, a third-generation, semi-synthetic, beta-lactam cephalosporin antibiotic with antibacterial activity. Cefotiam binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), transpeptidases that are responsible for crosslinking of peptidoglycan. By preventing crosslinking of peptidoglycan, cell wall integrity is lost and cell wall synthesis is halted.

Ceftolozane sulfate (FR-264205) is a cephalosporin antibiotic with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, inhibits P. aeruginosa PAO1, inhibits Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and is used in the study of pneumonia.

Sulopenem (CP-70429) is an orally active gastrointestinal-external cephalosporin antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. It inhibits Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and can be used in bacterial infection research.

Cefetamet sodium (Ro 15-8074/001) is an orally available cephalosporin antibiotic with antimicrobial activity and is used to study cirrhosis of the liver and lung infections.

Cefazaflur is a novel semi-synthetic cephalosporin derivative that can be used as an Antibiotic agent.

Cefdinir (FK-482) is a third-generation, semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic effective against common bacterial infections of the ear, sinus, throat, and skin.

Cefpiramide acid (Cefpiramidum) is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cephalonium (Cefalonium) is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Ceftiofur sodium (Naxcel), an antibiotic of the cephalosporin type (third generation), is used as veterinary medicine.

Cephradine (Anspor) is a beta-lactam, first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity.

Cefepime Dihydrochloride Monohydrate (Cefepime HCl) is the hydrochloride salt of a semi-synthetic, beta-lactamase-resistant, fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic derived from an Acremonium fungal species with broad-spectrum bactericidal activity.

Cefotaxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Like other third-generation cephalosporins, it has broad spectrum activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. In most cases, it is considered to be equivalent to ceftriaxone in terms of safety and efficacy. Cefotaxime sodium (Cefotaxim sodium salt) is marketed under various trade names including Claforan (Sanofi-Aventis).

Cefixime (FR-17027) is a broad-spectrum, third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic derived semisynthetically from the marine fungus Cephalosporium acremonium with antibacterial activity. As does penicillin, the beta-lactam antibiotic cefixime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by disrupting peptidoglycan synthesis, resulting in a reduction in bacterial cell wall stability and bacterial cell lysis. Stable in the presence of a variety of beta-lactamases, this agent is more active against gram-negative bacteria and less active against gram-positive bacteria compared to second-generation cephalosporins.

Cefazolin sodium (cephazolin sodium) salt binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Cefazolin sodium salt is the sodium salt of cefazolin, a beta-lactam antibiotic and first-generation cephalosporin with bactericidal activity. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity, which results in the weakening of the bacterial cell wall and cell lysis.

Cephalexin (Cephacillin) is a cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cephalothin sodium (Cefalotin) binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBP) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Cephalothin sodium (Cefalotin) is the sodium salt form of cephalothin, a semisynthetic, beta-lactam, the first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. PBPs participate in the terminal stages of assembling the bacterial cell wall, and in reshaping the cell wall during cell division. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity. This results in the weakening of the bacterial cell wall and causes cell lysis.

Cefmenoxime hydrochloride (Cefmenoxime hemihydrochloride) is a cephalosporin antibiotic that is administered intravenously or intramuscularly. It is active against most common gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, is a potent inhibitor of Enterobacteriaceae, and is highly resistant to hydrolysis by beta-lactamases. The drug has a high rate of efficacy in many types of infection and to date, no severe side effects have been noted.

Ceftriaxone sodium hydrate is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic with a very long half-life and high penetrability to meninges, eyes and inner ears.

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 axetil (Zinnat) is a second generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic.

Ceftazidime (GR20263) is a beta-lactam, cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity.

Cefditoren pivoxil (ME 1207) is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactamase resistant, third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity.

Cefodizime is a new cephalosporin antibiotic with a wide range of biological activities.Cefodizime is non-toxic to the kidneys and is well tolerated with immunomodulatory activity.Cefodizime has antimicrobial activity and is used in the study of serious infections of the respiratory and urinary systems.

Cefaclor monohydrate (Cefaclorum) is a beta-lactam, second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity.
