| Targets |
Cefoxitin sodium exerts its antibacterial activity by binding to and inactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. 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. Cefoxitin is a cephamycin antibiotic that is highly resistant to β-lactamase inactivation.

| Additional Infomation |
Cefoxitin sodium is an organic molecular entity. Cefoxitin sodium is the sodium salt form of cefoxitin, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic of the β-lactam class with bactericidal activity. Cefoxitin sodium binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding protein (PBP) located on the inner membrane of bacterial cell walls. PBP is involved in the final stages of bacterial cell wall assembly and cell wall remodeling during cell division. Inactivation of PBP interferes with the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, which is essential for maintaining the strength and rigidity of bacterial cell walls. This leads to weakening of the bacterial cell wall and ultimately cell lysis. A semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic resistant to β-lactamases. See also: Cefoxitin (with active fraction).
