The first-order hydrolysis kinetics of cefetamet pivoxil (CP) were investigated as a function of pH, temperature and buffers. The degradation was followed by HPLC. Buffer catalysis was observed in acetate and phosphate buffers. The pH-rate profiles for hydrolysis of cefetamet pivoxil were obtained at 333, 343, 353 and 363K. The pH-rate expression was k(pH)=kH+aH+ + kH2OkOH-aOH-, where kH+ and kOH- are the second-order rate constants (mol(-1)ls(-1)) for hydrogen ion activity and for hydroxyl ion activity respectively, and kH2O is the pseudo-first-order rate constant (s(-1)) for spontaneous reaction under the influence of water. The pH-rate profile was characteristically U-shaped. Maximum stability was observed in the pH region from 3 to 5.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of cefetamet pivoxil for the treatment of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis in Korean patients compared to treatment with cefdinir.

Methods: A prospective, multicenter, randomized double-blind, comparative study was conducted by the Departments of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at 17 hospitals or universities in the Republic of Korea from March 2017 to April 2019. A total of 309 patients were screened and 249 patients participated in the study.

The problem of determining the formation of complexes of β-lactam antibiotics with cyclodextrins (CDs) and the interactions involved in this process were addressed by machine learning on multispectral images. Complexes of β-lactam antibiotics, including cefuroxime axetil, cefetamet pivoxil, and pivampicillin, as well as CDs, including αCD, βCD, γCD, hydroxypropyl-αCD, methyl-βCD, hydroxypropyl-βCD, and hydroxypropyl-γCD, were prepared in all combinations. Thermograms confirming the formation of cyclodextrin complexes were obtained using differential scanning calorimetry.

Ten impurities and isomers in cefetamet pivoxil hydrochloride drug substance made in China were separated and identified by HPLC-MS(n) (TOF and TRAP). Their fragmentation patterns and structural assignment were studied based on the HPLC-MS(n) data. Among the ten impurities and isomers, impurity VII was isolated by preparative HPLC, and its structure was confirmed by (1)H NMR data.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oral and intravenous cefetamet in dog.

Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet

December 2015

Division of Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, College of Pharmacy, The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA.

The pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of intravenously (IV) administered cefetamet-Na and per os (PO) administered cefetamet pivoxil were investigated in eighteen healthy dogs at three different dose levels. The three doses for IV cefetamet-Na were 95, 190 and 380 mg, while those for oral cefetamet pivoxil were 125, 250 and 500 mg (both equivalent to 90, 180 and 360 mg of cefetamet). An efficacy predictor, measured as the ratios of the time that the concentration of the free drug is over the MIC90 (T > MIC90) and the dosing interval (f% T > MIC90) of IV and PO administration were calculated.
