Biochem/physiol Actions

Cefotetan has good protein binding capacity due to its half-life of 3 to 4 hours. The presence of methylthiotetrazole (MTT) side chain helps to enhance its potential for hypoprothrombinemia and disulfiram reactions. It possesses high antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacilli than cefoxitin.
Cefotetan (cefotan) is a second-generation cephalosporin that is active against some strains of β-lactamase producing bacteria. It shows anti-microbial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; it is more efficacious against Gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria. Cefotetan binds to penicillin-binding proteins and disrupts the cell wall synthesis.
