Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Cefotetan is a cephamycin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thereby inhibiting transpeptidation and cross-linking of peptidoglycan. It has broad-spectrum activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, including anaerobes, and is resistant to beta-lactamases.
Docetaxel binds to beta-tubulin, promoting microtubule assembly and inhibiting depolymerization, resulting in cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and apoptosis.
1 to 2 g intravenously or intramuscularly every 12 hours for 5 to 10 days. Maximum dose 6 g daily.
75 mg/m² intravenously over 1 hour every 3 weeks.

2.8-3.2 hours in normal renal function; prolonged to 12-30 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <10 mL/min).
Terminal elimination half-life is 4.5-6.0 hours in patients with normal renal function; prolonged to 12-24 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Primarily renal (76-85% unchanged in urine via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion); biliary excretion accounts for <10%, with small amounts in feces.
Primarily renal excretion (70-80% as unchanged drug) with hepatic metabolism contributing to biliary/fecal elimination (20-30%).
