Cefotetan Disodium is the disodium salt form of cefotetan and a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum, beta-lactamase-resistant, second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Cefotetan disodium causes inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis by inactivating penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) thereby interfering with the final transpeptidation step required for cross-linking of peptidoglycan units which are a component of the cell wall. This results in a reduction of cell wall stability and causes cell lysis. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Beta-lactams. Its therapeutic use is listed as anti-infectives, antibacterials and antibiotics. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a semi-synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Yamatetan and Cefotan. Its PubChem CID is 53024.
