Cefixime Trihydrate, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, is an orally-active third-generation semisynthetic cephalosporin. Like other cephalosporins, the antibacterial action of Cefixime Trihydrate results from inhibition of cell wall synthesis. Also, like other cephalosporins, Cefixime Trihydrate is stable when in the presence of certain beta-lactamase enzymes, which means certain organisms resistant to penicillin and some cephalosporins due to the presence of beta-lactamases could be susceptible to Cefixime Trihydrate.
Cefixime Trihydrate is a cephalosporin and cephalosporins work by using their beta-lactam rings to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to the penicillin-binding proteins transpeptidases on bacteria. The inhibition of synthesis of the bacteria cell wall will cause lysis, particularly in fast growing organisms such as bacteria. Specifically, cephalosporins inhibit penicillin-sensitive enzymes responsible for the final 3D structure of the bacterial cell wall which in turn inhibit bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis.
