Description
Cefuroxime sodium is marketed by Eli Lilly and Company under the trade name of Kefurox? and by Glaxo Limited under the trade name of Zinacef?. Cefuroxime sodium is an off-white to white amorphous powder. Cefuroxime sodium is an injectable second generation, semisynthetic, broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic with excellent activity in vitro, enhanced stability to many enterobacterial β-lactamases and favorable pharmacokinetic properties.
It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It is effective for treating meningitis, lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, gonorrhea, septicemia, skin and skin infections, bone and joint infections, and is approved for surgical prophylaxis.

Clinical Use
Cefuroxime (Zinacef) is the first of a series of α-methoximinoacyl–substituted cephalosporins that constitute most of thethird-generation agents available for clinical use. A syn alkoximinosubstituent is associated with β-lactamase stability in these cephalosporins.78 Cefuroxime is classified as a secondgenerationcephalosporin because its spectrum of antibacterialactivity more closely resembles that of cefamandole. It is,however, active against β-lactamase–producing strains thatare resistant to cefamandole, such as E. coli, K. pneumoniae,N. gonorrhoeae, and H. influenzae. Other important Gramnegativepathogens, such as Serratia, indole-positive Proteusspp., P. aeruginosa, and B. fragilis, are resistant.Cefuroxime is distributed throughout the body. It penetratesinflamed meninges in high enough concentrations tobe effective in meningitis caused by susceptible organisms.Three-times-daily dosing is required to maintain effectiveplasma levels for most sensitive organisms, such asNeisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and H.influenzae. It has a plasma half-life of 1.4 hours.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 56238-63-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 5,6,2,3 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 56238-63:
(7*5)+(6*6)+(5*2)+(4*3)+(3*8)+(2*6)+(1*3)=132
132 % 10 = 2
So 56238-63-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
