β-lactam
Ceftizoxime targets penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell wall. By binding to PBPs, it inhibits the final transpeptidation step required for cross-linking of peptidoglycan units, which are a component of the cell wall. This leads to inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis and cell death. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Ceftizoxime is a parenterally administered third-generation cephalosporin. Ceftizoxime, in contrast to other third-generation cephalosporins, has had its entire C-3 side chain removed to prevent hydrolytic enzyme deactivation. Its characteristics are rather similar to those of cefotaxime, but it is not metabolized.
In vitro, Ceftizoxime demonstrates broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against a wide variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, both aerobic and anaerobic. It is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, Ceftizoxime is effective in treating various bacterial infections. As a third-generation cephalosporin, it has enhanced activity against Gram-negative bacteria compared to earlier generations. It is administered parenterally for the treatment of serious infections.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro susceptibility testing for cephalosporins typically uses broth microdilution or agar dilution methods according to CLSI guidelines. Bacterial cultures are prepared at a standardized inoculum and incubated with varying concentrations of Ceftizoxime. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are determined as the lowest concentration that inhibits visible bacterial growth after 18-24 hours of incubation.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for antibiotics typically involve bacterial cell culture. Bacteria are grown in appropriate media and treated with varying concentrations of Ceftizoxime. Bacterial growth is monitored by measuring optical density (OD600) over time to generate growth curves. Time-kill assays are performed to determine bactericidal activity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for antibacterial efficacy typically use mouse or rat models of infection. Animals are infected with a pathogenic bacterial strain and treated with Ceftizoxime at various doses via parenteral administration. Bacterial load in target organs (e.g., lungs, blood) is determined by CFU counting. Survival is monitored as an endpoint.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Ceftizoxime Sodium is administered parenterally (intravenously or intramuscularly) for the treatment of bacterial infections. It distributes well to various tissues and body fluids. The compound is eliminated primarily via the kidneys, and dose adjustment is required in patients with renal impairment.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Overview of Use During Lactation Limited information currently available indicates that cefotaxime concentrations in breast milk are low and are not expected to have adverse effects on breastfed infants. There are reports that cephalosporins occasionally disrupt the infant's gut microbiota, leading to diarrhea or thrush, but these effects have not been fully assessed. Cefotaxime is safe for use by breastfeeding women. ◉ Effects on Breastfed Infants No published information found as of the revision date. ◉ Effects on Lactation and Breast Milk No published information found as of the revision date. Ceftizoxime is generally well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, rash, and injection site reactions. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur in penicillin-allergic patients. As with other cephalosporins, caution should be exercised in patients with a history of penicillin allergy. |

| Additional Infomation |
Cefotaxime sodium is the sodium salt of cefotaxime. It contains one cefotaxime (1-) molecule. Cefotaxime sodium, the sodium salt form of cefotaxime, is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, β-lactamase-resistant third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Cefotaxime sodium inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by inactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby interfering with the final transpeptidation step required for peptidoglycan unit cross-linking, which is a component of the cell wall. Lack of cross-linking leads to decreased cell wall stability, ultimately resulting in cell lysis. This is a semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic, administered intravenously or via suppository. The drug exhibits high resistance to multiple β-lactamases and is effective against a wide range of aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It has few side effects and has been reported to be safe and effective in elderly patients and patients with hematologic disorders.
