Cefepime for Injection, USP, is a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic formulation for parenteral use (IV/IM). Supplied as a sterile powder stabilized with L-Arginine, it exhibits enhanced solubility and pH stability for improved tolerance and administration. Cefepime provides extended-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and is widely used in hospital and critical-care settings for serious infections.
Cefepime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), blocking the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis. It demonstrates superior penetration through Gram-negative bacterial outer membranes and is stable against many β-lactamases, including AmpC enzymes, enhancing its activity against resistant bacterial strains.
