amoxicillin trihydrate

Amoxicillin trihydrate (Moxaline trihydrate) binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 1A located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Amoxicillin trihydrate is a broad-spectrum, semisynthetic aminopenicillin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity. This interrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis and results in the weakening of the bacterial cell wall and causes cell lysis.

Amoxicillin (trihydrate) mixed with potassium clavulanate (4:1) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that exhibits strong oral absorption. It functions by inhibiting the biosynthesis of polypeptides in bacterial cell walls, which effectively halts cell growth, demonstrating its antimicrobial activity [1] [2] [3].

Amoxicillin, L- is an antibiotic. It is also useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections.
