    Amoxicillin Trihydrate, USP

    ₱5,113.86 - ₱16,840.47

    Amoxicillin Trihydrate, USP is an extended spectrum β-lactam antibiotic similar in structure to Ampicillin. Resistance to Amoxicillin can be attributed to β-lactamase enzymes secreted by resistant cells.  The compound is effective against a variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. 

    Amoxicillin Trihydrate is slightly soluble in water.

    Ampicillin Trihydrate, USP conforms to United States Pharmacopoeia specifications.

    We also offer:

    • Amoxicillin Sodium (A059)
    • Amoxicillin:Potassium Clavulanate (2:1) (A054)
    Mechanism of Action Like all β-lactams, Amoxicillin targets PBP’s (penicillin binding proteins) involved in the final phase of peptidoglycan synthesis. PBP’s are enzymes which catalyze a pentaglycine crosslink between alanine and lysine residues. Without a pentaglycine crosslink, the integrity of the cell wall is severely compromised ultimately leading to the death of the cell.
    Spectrum Amoxicillin targets a wide range of β-lactamase negative Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria including E. coli and a number of Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species. Interestingly, Amoxicillin has been found to be effective against certain β-lactam sensitive VRE or vancomycin resistant Enterococcus; a glycopeptide antibiotic resistant "superbug."
    Microbiology Applications Amoxicillin is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options.  Representative MIC values include:
    • Neisseria gonorrhoeae 0.3 µg/mL - 32 µg/mL
    • Haemophilus influenzae 0.125 µg/mL - >64 µg/mL

    Eukaryotic Cell Culture Applications Dendritic cells were incubated with supernatant from Amoxicillin-treated hepatocytes to characterize drug-specific signaling pathways between hepatocytes and immune cells to study the influence of the compound on the immune response (Ogese, 2017).
