Axicef-250

Technical Description Axicef-250 is a bactericidal antibiotic that acts by targeting the structural components of the bacterial cell. It binds to essential penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. This binding inhibits the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis, which is the cross-linked "mesh" that provides the cell with its mechanical strength. Without this support, the bacteria undergo osmotic lysis and cell death.

The "Axetil" ester in this formulation is a lipophilic prodrug. This chemical modification ensures that the Cefuroxime molecule is not degraded by gastric acids, allowing for rapid and efficient absorption f...
