Amoxycillin

Lactam antibiotic amoxycillin in therapy of infections 97MI14. 

Latentiation of ampicillin can also be achieved by tying up the proximate amino and amide functions as an acetone aminal. Inclusion of acetone in the reaction mixture allows 6-APA to be condensed directly with the acid chloride from 24. There is thus obtained directly the prodrug hetacillin (34). Although this compound has little antibiotic activity in its own right, it hydrolyzes to ampicillin in the body. The p-hydroxy derivative amoxycillin (35) shows somewhat better oral activity. A similar sequence using formaldehyde gives metampicillin (36). °...

Although viral infections are important causes of both otitis media and sinusitis, they are generally self-limiting. Bacterial infections m complicate viral illnesses, and are also primary causes of ear and sinus infections. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae are the commonest bacterial pathogens. Amoxycillin is widely prescribed for these infections since it is microbiologically active, penetrates the middle ear, and sinuses, is well tolerated and has proved effective. 

The oral activity and clinical acceptance of cephalexin (14) has led to the appearance of a spate of similar molecules. Cefadroxyl (16) is an example. The design of this drug would seem to have derived from the success of amoxycillin. The synthesis of cefadroxyl was accomplished by N-acylation of 7-aminodesacetyl-cephalosporanic acid (7 ADCA) after blocking the carboxy group with (CH30)2CH3SiCl (to 15). The...

Kanegafuchi Chemical Industries produce D-p-hydroxyphenyl glycine, which is a key raw material for the semisynthetic penicillins ampicillin and amoxycillin. Here, an enantioselective hydantoinase is applied to convert the hydantoin to the D-p-hydroxyphenyl glycine. The quantitative conversion of the amide hydrolysis is achieved because of the in situ racemization of the unreacted hydantoins. Under the conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis, the starting material readily racemizes. Therefore, this process enables the stereospecific preparation of various amino acids at a conversion of 100% [38].

Procedure Weigh accurately about 0.17 g of amoxycillin trihydrate and dissolve in sufficient DW to produce 500 ml. Now, transfer 10 ml of this solution into a 100 ml volumetric flask, add 10 ml of buffer solution pH 9.0 followed by 1 ml of acetic anhydride-dioxan solution, allow to stand for 5 minutes, and add sufficient water to produce 100 ml. Pipette 2 ml of the resulting solution into each of the two stoppered tubes. To tube 1 add 10 ml of imidazole-mercury reagent, mix, stopper the tube and immerse it in a water-bath previously maintained at 60 °C for exactly 25 minutes, with occasional swirling. Remove the tube from the water-bath and cool rapidly to 20 °C (Solution-1). To tube 2 add 10 ml of DW and mix thoroughly (Solution-2). Immediately, measure the extinctions of Solutions 1 and 2 at the maximum at about 325 nm, as detailed above, employing as the blank a mixture of 2 ml of DW and 10 ml of imidazole-mercury reagent for Solution-1 and simply DW for Solution-2. 

Calculations The content of C16H19N305S may be calculated from the difference between the extinctions of Solution-1 and that of Solution-2 and from the difference obtained by repeating the operation using 0.17 g of amoxycillin trihydrate (RS), instead of the sample being examined and the declared content of C16H19N305S in the amoxycillin trihydrate (RS).

Part—IV has been entirely devoted to various Optical Methods that find their legitimate recognition in the arsenal of pharmaceutical analytical techniques and have been spread over nine chapters. Refractometry (Chapter 18) deals with refractive index, refractivity, critical micelle concentration (CMC) of various important substances. Polarimetry (Chapter 19) describes optical rotation and specific optical rotation of important pharmaceutical substances. Nephelometry and turbidimetry (Chapter 20) have been treated with sufficient detail with typical examples of chloroetracyclin, sulphate and phosphate ions. Ultraviolet and absorption spectrophotometry (Chapter 21) have been discussed with adequate depth and with regard to various vital theoretical considerations, single-beam and double-beam spectrophotometers besides typical examples amoxycillin trihydrate, folic acid, glyceryl trinitrate tablets and stilbosterol. Infrared spectrophotometry (IR) (Chapter 22) essentially deals with a brief introduction of group-frequency... 

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of untreated biological fluids has been used successfully in metabolic studies of penicillins. Connor et al. [153] used this method to investigate the metabolism and urinary excretion of ampicillin and amoxycillin in humans and rats. In addition to the metabolites 5.49 and 5.50, they detected a dimer of amoxycillin (5.51) in rat urine. 

Penicillins. This group includes penicillin G (benzyl-penicillin), penicillin VK (phenoxymethyl-penicillin), the isoxazolyl penicillins oxacillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin and nafcillin, the amino-penicillins ampicillin, hetacillin and amoxycillin, the carboxy-penicil-lin carbenicillin, and the thienyl-penicillin ticarcillin.
