CAS 33564-30-6: Cefoxitin sodium
Description:Cefoxitin sodium is a semi-synthetic cephalosporin antibiotic that is primarily used for its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. It is effective against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it particularly useful in treating infections caused by anaerobic bacteria. The compound is typically administered via injection and is known for its stability against certain beta-lactamases, which are enzymes produced by some bacteria that confer resistance to other antibiotics. Cefoxitin sodium is often employed in surgical prophylaxis and in the treatment of intra-abdominal infections, pelvic infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. The substance is generally well-tolerated, although it may cause side effects such as allergic reactions, gastrointestinal disturbances, and alterations in blood coagulation. As with all antibiotics, appropriate use is essential to minimize the development of antibiotic resistance.
