Cloxacillin

The pharmacology of penicillins differs markedly from compound to compound but has been well reviewed (57). The majority of derivatives, including penicillin G and the antipseudomonal penicillins, ate unstable in gastric acid and ate not available orally. The isoxazolyl penicillins ate relatively acid stable but not consistendy well absorbed by the oral route. Nafcillin and oxacillin ate poody absorbed orally cloxacillin, dicloxacillin, and ducloxacillin ate more teUable. Penicillin V, ampicillin, and patticulady amoxicillin ate relatively well absorbed orally. Esters of ampicillin such as bacampicillin, pivampicillin, and talampicillin improve the level of oral absorption of ampicillin to that achieved by amoxicillin. Absorption can be diminished by food after oral adruinistration, however, and peak blood levels, usually achieved after 1 to 2 h, ate somewhat delayed after ingestion of food. 

Cloxacillin sodium salt (sodium 3-o-chlorophenyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazolyl penicillin monohydrate) [642-78-4] M 457.9, m 170°, [a]J, +163° (HjO pH 6.0-7.5), pKe, 2.8 (COOH). Purified by dissolving in isoPrOH containing 20% of H2O, and diluting with isoPrOH to a water content of 5% and chilled, and recrystd again in this manner. The sodium salt is collected and dried at 40° in air to give the colourless monohydrate. It is soluble in H2O (5%), MeOH, EtOH, pyridine and ethylene glycol. [Doyle et al.
