Detailed Description
CAS Number: 117060-71-6
Molecular Formula: Ampicillin Sodium: C16H18N3NaO4S
Sulbactam Sodium: C8H10NNaO5SMolecular Weight: Mixture
Mechanism of Action: Like all β-lactams, Ampicillin interferes with PBP (penicillin binding protein) activity otherwise 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 cell lysis.
Storage Conditions: <30°C
Tariff Code: 2941.10.5000
Ampicillin Sodium/SulbactamSodium (2:1) is a combination of a β-lactam similar in structure to penicillin, with a β-lactamase inhibitor used to increase potency of β-lactam antibiotics.
We also offer:
- Ampicillin Anhydrous (A043)
- Ampicillin Sodium (A042)
- Ampicillin Trihydrate, USP (A009)
- Ampicillin Trihydrate, EP (A020)
It is used for microbiological in vitro susceptibility tests, and studies in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
