Cefoxitin
Cefoxitin (CAS No.: 35607-66-0) is a cephalosporin antibiotic known for its high stability against β-lactamases. It belongs to the second-generation cephalosporins and has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Cefoxitin is widely used in studies involving multiple cell and animal models by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. It is particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria and is significant in research on conditions such as intra-abdominal and pelvic infections. In in vitro studies, the activity of Cefoxitin is typically observed at low micromolar levels, indicating high efficacy in cellular research. As an antibiotic compound, Cefoxitin is an important research tool in drug screening and resistance studies, and its use concentration or dosage is typically adjusted according to specific experimental designs and research objectives, demonstrating flexible application potential in different preclinical studies.
