Description

Cefoxitin sodium salt is an antibiotic that is used in the manufacture of culture media. It has a high affinity for peptidoglycan chains and inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefoxitin sodium salt has been shown to be effective against Filaria species, which are parasitic worms that infect humans. The drug prevents the production of new filarial worms by inhibiting protein synthesis and lysing cells. Cefoxitin sodium salt also has anti-filarial activity mediated by its ability to inhibit receptor activity in the worm's gut.
