Cefuroxime Axetil is the 1-acetoxyehyl ester of Cefuroxime. Cefuroxime is a semi synthetic analog of cephalosporin C. Cefuroxime has in vitro activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms and its highly stable in the presence of beta-lactamases of certain gram negative bacteria. The bactericidal action of Cefuroxime results from inhibition of cell-wall synthesis.
Approximately 50% of serum Cefuroxime is bound to protein.
After oral administration, Cefuroxime Axetil is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and rapidly hydrolyzed by nonspecific esterases in the intestinal mucosa and blood to Cefuroxime.
Cefuroxime is subsequently distributed throughout the extracellular fluids. The Axetil moiety is metabolized to acetaldehyde and acetic acid.
