Mechanism of Action. Cefuroxime axetil undergoes hydrolysis by esterase enzymes to convert into its active form, cefuroxime. Cefuroxime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis following attachment to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs). This results in the interruption of cell wall (peptidoglycan) biosynthesis, which leads to bacterial cell lysis and death. Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactam, structurally related to penicillins, which possesses the ability to inactivate a wide range of beta-lactamase enzymes commonly found in micro-organisms resistant to penicillins.
