Cefoperazone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking and causing cell lysis.

2 hours (prolonged in hepatic impairment and neonates).
1.5-2 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 20-30 hours in end-stage renal disease (CrCl <10 mL/min).
Primarily renal (80-90% unchanged in urine) and biliary (10-20%).
Renal: 80-90% unchanged via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. Biliary/fecal: minimal (<5%).
