Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Cefoperazone, a third-generation cephalosporin, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking, and activating autolytic enzymes.
Cephalothin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to cell lysis and death. It has bactericidal activity against susceptible gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria.
2 g IV every 8-12 hours; usual total daily dose 4-6 g, severe infections up to 12 g daily divided q8h.
1-2 g IV every 4-6 hours; maximum 12 g/day.

2.2 hours (normal renal function); prolonged to 4-5 hours in elderly or hepatic impairment; in severe renal failure (CrCl <10 mL/min), may extend up to 8 hours.
30-60 minutes in normal renal function; prolonged to 2-8 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <10 mL/min).
Renal: 65-85% unchanged; biliary: 10-20% (fecal elimination); total renal clearance approximates glomerular filtration rate.
Primarily renal (60-70% unchanged) via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; minor biliary (5-10%) and fecal (<1%) elimination.
