Active ingredients

The drug FETROJA contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):

1 Cefiderocol UNII TTP8LBP45D - CEFIDEROCOL SULFATE TOSYLATE

Cefiderocol is a siderophore cephalosporin. In addition to passive diffusion through outer membrane porin channels, cefiderocol is able to bind to extracellular free iron via its siderophore side chain, allowing active transport into the periplasmic space of Gram-negative bacteria through siderophore uptake systems. Cefiderocol subsequently binds to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall synthesis which leads to cell lysis and death. Read about Cefiderocol
