Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ceftibuten is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used primarily for treating bacterial infections, particularly respiratory tract infections. Ceftibuten inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are essential enzymes involved in the final steps of peptidoglycan cross-linking. This leads to cell wall weakening and ultimately bacterial cell lysis. ceftibuten is bactericidal and primarily effective against Gram-negative bacteria. Bioactivity: Spectrum of Activity: Ceftibuten is particularly active against Gram-negative organisms, including Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Escherichia coli. It also has some activity against Gram-positive bacteria but is less effective than earlier-generation cephalosporins. β-lactamase Stability: It is resistant to hydrolysis by many β-lactamases, making it more effective against β-lactamase-producing bacteria. Oral Bioavailability: Ceftibuten is notable for its high oral bioavailability (~90%), making it effective as an oral antibiotic. Pharmacokinetics: It has a long half-life (~4-5 hours), allowing for once-daily dosing.
