| Targets |
Cefotetan targets penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are enzymes essential for bacterial cell wall synthesis. By binding to these PBPs, it inhibits the transpeptidase and carboxypeptidase activities required for peptidoglycan cross-linking, leading to a weakened cell wall and bacterial cell lysis. Its cephamycin structure confers high resistance to β-lactamase enzymes, making it effective against many β-lactamase-producing bacteria.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, Cefotetan exhibits potent antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria. Its activity is assessed by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against various bacterial strains. It is effective against many Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms, including anaerobes. Its stability against β-lactamases is a key feature of its activity.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Cefotetan is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections and for surgical prophylaxis. Its broad-spectrum activity and resistance to β-lactamases make it a valuable antibiotic for treating serious infections. It is administered parenterally and is well-distributed in tissues and body fluids.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro non-cell enzyme assays for Cefotetan are not standard, as it is an antibiotic that targets a cellular process. Its mechanism is studied by measuring its binding affinity to PBPs in membrane preparations.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Cefotetan use standard microbiological methods, such as broth microdilution and agar diffusion, to determine the MIC against various bacterial strains. Time-kill assays are used to evaluate its bactericidal activity over time.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for Cefotetan employ models of bacterial infection, such as murine sepsis or pneumonia models. The compound is administered, and its efficacy is measured by the reduction in bacterial load, survival rates, or clinical signs of infection. Pharmacokinetic studies are also performed to characterize its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Cefotetan has a molecular weight of 575.62 g/mol and a molecular formula of C₁₇H₁₇N₇O₈S₄. It is a white to light yellow powder to crystal. It is a semi-synthetic cephamycin antibiotic. The compound should be stored under appropriate conditions, typically at room temperature, protected from light and moisture.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Use During Lactation Cefotetan has been discontinued in the United States. Current information indicates that cefotetan is present in low concentrations in breast milk and is not expected to have adverse effects on breastfed infants. There have been reports that cephalosporins occasionally disrupt the gut microbiota of infants, leading to diarrhea or thrush, but these effects have not been fully assessed. Cefotetan is safe for use by breastfeeding women. ◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants No published information found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Breastfeeding and Breast Milk No published information found as of the revision date. Cefotetan is generally well-tolerated, but side effects can include gastrointestinal disturbances, hypersensitivity reactions, and effects on blood coagulation (due to its N-methylthiotetrazole side chain). It is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to cephalosporins. |

| Additional Infomation |
Cefotetan is a semi-synthetic second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Its cephalosporin skeleton has [(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thio]methyl, methoxy, and {[4-(2-amino-1-carboxy-2-oxoethylene)-1,3-dithionecyclobutane-2-yl]carbonyl}amino groups attached to the 3, 7α, and 7β positions, respectively. It is resistant to many β-lactamases and is effective against a variety of aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is an antibacterial drug. It is the conjugate acid of cefotetan (2-). Cefotetan is a cephalosporin antibiotic. The effects of cefotetan in bovine (Bos taurus) have been reported, and relevant data are available. Cefotetan is a semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic that can be administered intravenously or intramuscularly. This drug exhibits high resistance to various β-lactamases and is effective against a wide range of aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
