Ceftizoxime is an antibiotic available for parenteral administration.[1]
It is in the third-generation cephalosporin family of medications and works by interfering with the bacteria's cell wall.[2] Unlike other third-generation cephalosporins, the whole C-3 side chain in ceftizoxime has been removed to prevent deactivation by hydrolytic enzymes. It rather resembles cefotaxime in its properties, but is not subject to metabolism.
It was removed from the US Market in 2007.
Synthesis
Injectable third generation cephalosporin antibiotic related to cefotaxime, q.v. Exhibits broad spectrum activity and resistance to β-lactamase hydrolysis.
