Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Docetaxel binds to beta-tubulin, promoting microtubule assembly and inhibiting depolymerization, resulting in cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and apoptosis.
Cefoperazone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to cell lysis and death.
75 mg/m² intravenously over 1 hour every 3 weeks.
1-2 g IV every 6-8 hours; maximum 12 g/day.

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).
0.5-1 hour in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 2-8 hours in moderate to severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Primarily renal excretion (70-80% as unchanged drug) with hepatic metabolism contributing to biliary/fecal elimination (20-30%).
Primarily renal (80-90% as unchanged drug via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion); biliary/fecal <10%.
