Description

General description

Ampicillin trihydrate is a stable hydrated form of ampicillin.

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

Ampicillin trihydrate has been used as reference standard for determining the residual solvents and its effect on ampicillin trihydrate crystal structure using GC, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

Commission Regulation (EU) No 37/2010 of 22 December 2009 on pharmacologically active substances and their classification regarding maximum residue limits in foodstuffs of animal origin

Biochem/physiol Actions

A β-lactam antibiotic with an amino group side chain attached to the penicillin structure. Penicillin derivative that inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis (peptidoglycan cross-linking) by inactivating transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane. Bactericidal only to growing Escherichia coli . Mode of resistance: Cleavage of β-lactam ring of ampicillin by β-lactamase. Antimicrobial spectrum: Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

Packaging

250 mg
