Description

Ceforanide is a second-generation parenteral cephalosporin antibiotic. It has a longer elimination half-life than any currently available cephalosporin. Its activity is very similar to that of cefamandole, a second-generation cephalosporin, except that ceforanide is less active against most gram-positive organisms. Many coliforms, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Proteus, are susceptible to ceforanide, as are most strains of Salmonella, Shigella, Hemophilus, Citrobacter and Arizona species.

Pharmacology

Indication

For the treatment of infections caused by susceptible organisms.

Pharmacodynamics

Ceforanide is a semisynthetic second-generation cephalosporin. The cephalosporins are bactericidal drugs with both gram-positive and gram-negative activity. They inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis in a way similar to the penicillins.

Mechanism of action

The bactericidal activity of ceforanide results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).

TargetActionsOrganism
APenicillin-binding protein 2
inhibitor
Bacteroides fragilis
Absorption

Rapidly absorbed following intramuscular injection.

Volume of distribution
Not Available
Protein binding

80.6%

Metabolism

The major drug elimination route was urinary excretion with 85% of the dose being excreted unchanged in the urine within 12 hr, and no metabolites with antibiotic activity were observed in urine.
