General description
Potassium clavulanate is an oxapenam derivative and belongs to the group of β-lactamase inhibitors. It is used in combination with the penicillin group of antibiotics to give them resistance to β-lactamase.
Application
The analytical standard can be used as follows:
- Simultaneous analysis of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium in pharmaceutical formulations by capillary electrophoresis (CE) combined with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D)
- Development of a stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method combined with mass spectrometry (MS) to measure amoxicillin, clavulanate potassium, and their impurities in their combined dosage forms
- Residue analysis of potassium clavulanate and amoxicillin trihydrate by a UV spectrophotometric method in their bulk, combined tablet formulations, and human urine samples
- HPLC method-based determination of meropenem and potassium clavulanate in the presence of their degradation impurities in intravenous solutions in combination with a diode array detector (DAD)
- Determination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) in their combined commercial formulations
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-lactamase inhibitor, typically added to amoxicillin to increase its effectiveness.

Potassium clavulanate is a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor, which, in combination, expands the spectrum of amoxicillin to include many amoxicillin-resistant organisms. Potassium clavulanate is excreted 30-50 percent unchanged renally and its plasma time-course parallels that of amoxicillin. Several studies suggest that
