Cefpirome sulfate belongs to the class of fourth-generation cephalosporins. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Specifically, it binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are essential for the cross-linking of peptidoglycan layers in the bacterial cell wall. This action leads to a weakened cell wall and ultimately results in bacterial cell death through lysis. 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 cefpirome sulphate, Sulfate and Cefpirome. It is listed as a controlled drug substance (Schedule I). Its PubChem CID is 11954008.
