Cefoperazone contains an N-methylthiotetrazole (NMTT or 1-MTT) side chain.As the antibiotic is broken down in the body, it releases free NMTT, which can cause hypoprothrombinemia (likely due to inhibition of the enzyme vitamin K epoxide reductase) and a reaction with ethanol similar to that produced by disulfiram (Antabuse effect), due to inhibition of aldehyde dehydrogenase.
Cefoperazone/sulbactam is a combination drug used as an antibiotic. It is effective for the treatment of urinary tract infections . [ 2 ] It contains cefoperazone , a β-lactam antibiotic , and sulbactam , a β-lactamase inhibitor , which helps prevent bacteria from breaking down cefoperazone.

The combination cefoperazone/sulbactam (Sulperazon) is available in many countries but not in the United States. [ 4 ] The co-packaged combination sulbactam/durlobactam was approved for medical use in the United States in May 2023.
The targets should also be common across many strains of a virus, or even among different species of virus in the same family, so a single drug will have broad effectiveness. For example, a researcher might target a critical enzyme synthesized by the virus, but not by the patient, that is common across strains, and see what can be done to ...
Cefprozil is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. [1] Originally discovered in 1983, and approved in 1992, [2] it was sold under the tradename Cefzil by Bristol Meyers Squibb until 2010 when the brand name version was discontinued. [3]
For many bacterial infections, it offers little or no advantage over ceftazidime monotherapy, due to the widespread expression of resistance mechanisms other than β-lactamase production.
