IC50:
Cefpodoxime, as known as R 3763, is a metabolite of cefpodoxime proxetil. It is demonstrated that cefpodoxime, as an oral third generation cephalosporin antibiotic, is active against most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Cefpodoxime suppresses bacterial septum and cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located in the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.
In vitro: Cefpodoxime showed antibacterial activities against obligatory anaerobes and salmonella spp., shigella spp. and Neisseria meningitides [1]. Cefpodoxime was quite stable to hydrolysis by β-lactamases produced from B. cereus and E. coli HB101/pBR322 [2].
In vivo: Male ddY mice were administered orally
