Metabolism

Ceftobiprole medocaril sodium is the pro-drug of the active moiety ceftobiprole. Conversion from the prodrug ceftobiprole medocaril sodium, to the active moiety ceftobiprole, occurs rapidly and is mediated by non-specific plasma esterases. Ceftobiprole undergoes minimal metabolism to the open-ring metabolite, which is microbiologically inactive
