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, β-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 β-lactamases, it does not show activity against bacteria which produce these enzymes.Clavulanate is a β-lactam antibiotic related to the penicillins. Clavulanate competitively and irreversibly inhibits a wide variety of β-lactamases found in bacteria that are resistant to penicillins and cephalosporins.Formulations of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid prevent the degradation of amoxicillin by β-lactamase enzymes. This increases amoxicillin′s antibacterial activity against bacteria normally resistant to β-lactam antibiotics.

Components

Material is a powdered mixture of 4 parts amoxicillin trihydrate to 1 part potassium clavulanate.
