Amoxicillin trihydrate is a semisynthetic antibiotic, that is used as a medicine.
Synonyms: Amoxicillin Trihydrate: Potassium Clavulanate
Storage: 2-8C
Application: Amoxicillin trihydrate: potassium clavulanate (4:1) has been used to study its effect on the viral déjà vu disease (neonatal intracerebral (i.c.) infection) in mice model.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Amoxicillin trihydrate is a broad-spectrum, ß-lactam antibiotic. It inhibits the cross-linkage between linear peptidoglycan polymer chains that are the major component of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Since amoxicillin is degraded by ß-lactamases, it does not show activity against bacteria which produce these enzymes.Clavulanate is a ß-lactam antibiotic related to the penicillins. Clavulanate competitively and irreversibly inhibits a wide variety of ß-lactamases found in bacteria that are resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins.Formulations of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid prevent the degradation of amoxicillin by ß-lactamase enzymes. This increases amoxicillin's antibacterial activity against bacteria normally resistant to ß-lactam antibiotics.
Other Notes: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Never allow product to get in contact with water during storage.
