Cefmetazole is a second-generation cephalosporin. The cephalosporins are bactericidal drugs with both gram-positive and gram-negative activity. They inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis in a way similar to the penicillins. Cefmetazole is more active than 1st-generation cephalosporins against indole-positive <i>Proteus</i>, <i>Serratia</i>, anaerobic gram-negative bacilli (including <i>B. fragilis</i>), and some <i>E. coli</i>, <i>Klebsiella</i>, and <i>P. mirabilis</i>, but is less active than cefoxitin or cefotetan against most gram-negative bacilli.
DescriptionCefmetazole is a cephamycin with a nonaromatic side chain at C-7. In addition to a fairly characteristic second-generation cephalosporin antimicrobial spectrum, it possess fairly significant anti-antiaerobic activity. The ejection of its C-3 side chain leads to alcohol intolerance of the disulfuram type and prolonged clotting times.
General DescriptionCefmetazole was synthesized by Sankyo Co. in 1976starting with a biosynthetic cephamycin. It shows excellent activity against Serratia and Proteus, against which cefazolin is not active, and it has stronger activity than cefoxitin, another derivative of cephamycin. Cefmetazole is active against anaerobes and resistant to β-lactamase, but it is not active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
UsesSemi-synthetic antibiotic derived from Cephamycin. Antibacterial.
UsesA broad spectrum second generation cephalosporin antibiotic
DefinitionChEBI: A cephalosporin antibiotic containg an N1-methyltetrazol-5-ylthiomethyl side-chain at C-3 of the parent cephem bicyclic structure.
