Comment: Cefetamet is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum, third generation cephalosporin and belongs to the β-lactam class of antibacterial compounds. To provide acceptable bioavailability for oral use it is formulated as a pivoxil ester prodrug (cefetamet pivoxil, PubChem CID 5486182) [1].
An image of the ligand's 2D structure. For small molecules with SMILES these are drawn using the NCI/CADD Chemical Identifier Resolver. Click on the image to access the chemical structure search tool with the ligand pre-loaded in the structure editor. For other types of ligands, e.g. longer nucleotides and peptides, a manually drawn representation of the molecule may be provided.

Physico-chemical Properties
Calculated molecular properties are available for small molecules and natural products (not peptides). Properties were generated using the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) (Willighagen EL et al. Journal of Cheminformatics vol. 9:33. 2017, doi:10.1186/s13321-017-0220-4; https://cdk.github.io/). All properties were selected to enable the prediction of the Lipinski Rule-of-Five profile or ‘druglikeness’ for each ligand. For more info on each category see the help pages.

SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification)
A specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII strings. Canonical SMILES specify a unique representation of the 2D structure without chiral or isotopic specifications. Isomeric SMILES include chiral specification and isotopes.
Standard InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) and InChIKey
InChI is a non-proprietary, standard, textual identifier for chemical substances designed to facilitate linking of information and database searching. An InChIKey is a simplified version of a full InChI, designed for easier web searching.

Cefetamet demonstrates in vitro activity against some Gram-positive bacteria (MIC90 for Streptococcus spp. ≤ 0.13 μg/ml) [3]. It has broad-spectrum Gram-negative activity including against, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and many Enterobacteriaceae [3-5].
