Antibiotics

• Cefuroxime axetil is a second generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is a prodrug of cefuroxime acetoxyethyl ester.
• White to off-white crystalline powder.
• It is a second-generation cephalosporin that, like penicillin antibiotics, contains a ?-lactam ring structure. Cephalosporins function as a bactericidal antibiotic; by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, they inhibit the final step in bacterial cell wall synthesis. This results in weakening of the bacterial cell wall and cell lysis.
