Description of Cefoxitin

Cefoxitin is a broad-spectrum, second-generation cephalosporin with antibacterial activity. Cefoxitin is effective against a wide variety of infections caused by gram-positive or gram-negative aerobes as well as by anaerobic bacteria[1][2].

Cefoxitin has good activity against gram-positive bacteria. The MICs for several gram-positive pathogens are in the range of 1-6 μg/mL[1].Cefoxitin has shown high efficacy killing B. burgdorferi at concentration of 1.25 µM/mL[3].

Cefoxitin (20 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; for 5 days) effectively kills B. burgdorferi in vivo C3H/HeN mouse model[3]. Animal Model: Four-week-old female C3H/HeN mice[3]

General tips Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.
To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time.
Shipping Condition Evaluation sample solution: shipped with blue ice. All other sizes available: with RT, or with Blue Ice upon request.

In vivo Formulation Calculator (Clear solution) of Cefoxitin

Step 1: Enter information below (Recommended: An additional animal making an allowance for loss during the experiment)

mg/kg g μL

Step 2: Enter the in vivo formulation (This is only the calculator, not formulation. Please contact us first if there is no in vivo formulation at the solubility Section.)

% DMSO % % Tween 80 % saline
%DMSO %

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
