AURO-CEFUROXIME
Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets BP
250 mg and 500 mg Cefuroxime
ANTIBIOTIC
ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Cefuroxime axetil is an orally active prodrug of cefuroxime. After
oral administration,
cefuroxime axetil is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and
rapidly hydrolyzed by
nonspecific esterases in the intestinal mucosa and blood to release
cefuroxime into the blood
stream. Conversion to cefuroxime, the microbiologically active form,
occurs rapidly. The
inherent properties of cefuroxime are unaltered after its
administration as cefuroxime axetil.
Cefuroxime exerts its bactericidal effect by binding to an enzyme or
enzymes referred to as
penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) involved in bacterial cell wall
synthesis.
This binding results in inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis
and subsequent cell death.
Specifically, cefuroxime shows high affinity for PBP 3, a primary
target for cefuroxime in gram-
negative organisms such as _E. coli_.
