Cefonicid
A prolonged half-life is the distinguishing pharmacokinetic feature of cefonicid among second-generation cephalosporins, permitting once-daily intramuscular administration where related agents require more frequent dosing. Antibacterial action follows the class mechanism: binding to penicillin-binding proteins arrests the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan assembly, leaving the wall defective and the organism osmotically unstable until lysis occurs. Coverage extends across many gram-positive and gram-negative species, supporting use in mild to moderate infection and in surgical prophylaxis. The extended dosing interval is of practical value in outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy. The molecule is C18H18N6O8S3 with a mass near 542.6 g/mol, approved and developed through the final phase.
