Cefoxitin, the chemical name is 3-carbamoyloxymethyl-7-methoxy-7-(2-thiopheneacetamido)-8-oxo-5-thio-1-azabicyclo [4.2.0] Oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, with the molecular formula C16H17N3O7S2, is a cephamycin antibiotic. It is a new type of antibiotic made by semi-synthesis of Cephamycin C produced by Streptomyces Lactamdurans. Its core is similar to cephalosporins and has similar antibacterial properties. It is customarily included in the second-generation cephalosporins. The mechanism of cefoxitin's antibacterial action is to inhibit the synthesis of the cell wall of active bacterial cells by binding to one or more penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) of bacterial cells, thereby exerting an antibacterial effect.
