Pharmacology
- Indication
For the treatment of infections of the ear, nose, and throat, the genitourinary tract, the skin and skin structure, and the lower respiratory tract due to susceptible (only b-lactamase-negative) strains of Streptococcus spp. (a- and b-hemolytic strains only), S. pneumoniae, Staphylococcus spp., H. influenzae, E. coli, P. mirabilis, or E. faecalis. Also for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated gonorrhea (ano-genital and urethral infections) due to N. gonorrhoeae (males and females).
- Associated Conditions
- Acute maxillary sinusitis caused by M. catarrhalis
- Bronchiectasis
- Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
- Duodenal ulcer caused by helicobacter pylori
- Erysipeloid
- Infective Endocarditis
- Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI)
- Lyme Neuroborreliosis
- Otitis media bacterial
- Sinusitis
- Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Bacterial Infections
- Streptococcal Pharyngitis
- Streptococcal tonsillitis
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
- Acute Gonorrhea
- Uncomplicated Gonorrhea
- Pharmacodynamics
Amoxicillin is a moderate-spectrum antibiotic active against a wide range of Gram-positive, and a limited range of Gram-negative organisms. Compared to its peers within the class of beta-lactam antibiotics, amoxicillin is often selected for use because it tends to demonstrate better absorption after oral administration. Amoxicillin is susceptible to degradation by β-lactamase-producing bacteria, and so may be given with clavulanic acid to increase its susceptability. The incidence of β-lactamase-producing resistant organisms, including E. coli, appears to be increasing. Amoxicillin is sometimes combined with clavulanic acid, a β-lactamase inhibitor, to increase the spectrum of action against Gram-negative organisms, and to overcome bacterial antibiotic resistance mediated through β-lactamase production.
- Mechanism of action
Amoxicillin binds to penicillin-binding protein 1A (PBP-1A) located inside the bacterial cell well. Penicillins acylate the penicillin-sensitive transpeptidase C-terminal domain by opening the lactam ring. This inactivation of the enzyme prevents the formation of a cross-link of two linear peptidoglycan strands, inhibiting the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that amoxicllin interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.
Target Actions Organism APenicillin-binding protein 1A inhibitorClostridium perfringens (strain 13 / Type A) - Absorption
Rapidly absorbed after oral administration.
- Volume of distribution
- Not Available
- Protein binding
In blood serum, amoxicillin is approximately 20% protein-bound
- Metabolism
Hepatic metabolism accounts for less than 30% of the biotransformation of most penicillins
- Route of elimination
Most of the amoxicillin is excreted unchanged in the urine; its excretion can be delayed by concurrent administration of probenecid.
- Half life
61.3 minutes
- Clearance
- Not Available
- Toxicity
Serious toxicity is unlikely following large doses of amoxicillin. Acute ingestion of large doses of amoxicillin may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Acute oliguric renal failure and hematuria may occur following large doses.
