Ceftriaxone sodium

개요Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin (SEF a low spor in) antibiotic that is used to treat conditions such as lower respiratory tract infections, skin and skin structure infections, urinary tract infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, bacterial septicemia, bone and joint infections, and meningitis.

일반 설명Ceftriaxone was synthesized by HoffmannLa Roche in 1981. The triazinyl moiety was introduced at the 3 position of the cephem nucleus. The same side chain as possessed by cefotaxime and the other so-called third-generation cephalosporins was retained at the 7 position. The antibacterial activity of ceftiaxone is almost the same as that of cefotaxime in vitro, but its in vivo activity is 10 to 100 times higher. Its most characteristic property is its seven to eight hour half-life in serum, the longest among the known cephem antibiotics.
