Cephacetrile, a parenteral cephalosporin, is a broad-spectrum first generation cephalosporin antibiotic effective in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial infections. It works by inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. It attains high serum levels and is excreted quickly via the urine. By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, it inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cephacetrile was used in the treatment of female pelvic inflammatory disease, meningitis and number of other systemic, respiratory and urinary infections.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

This pharmacokinetic investigation was based on the determination of serum and urinary levles of cephacetrile in 50 subjects given single intramuscular or intravenous doses of 0.5 or 1 gm of the antibiotic; 30 normal subjects, 10 patients with renal insufficiency, and 10 patients with chronic nephritis undergoing maintenance haemodialysis were included in this study.

Route of Administration: Parenteral

In Vitro Use Guide

The MICs were 0.06 to 0.5 ug/ml for Group A Streptococcus, D. pneumoniae, and Staph. aureus, 4-6 ug/ml for E. coli and Klebsiella-Enterobacter 8-32 ug/ml for Pr. mirabilis and more than 500 ug/ml for Ps. aeruginosa. A few strains of Klebsiella and E. coli had MICs of more than 125 ug/ml.
