GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Piperacillin is a a semisynthetic broad-spectrum penicillin effective against a wide variety of gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. It has 2,3-dioxo pierazinyl carbonyl moiety additionally in ampicillin structure. The chemical systematic designation is (2S-(2alpha,5alpha,6beta(S*)))-6-(((((4-Ethyl-2,3- dioxopiperazin-1-yl)carbonyl)amino) phenylacetyl)amino)- 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1- azabicyclo(3.2.0) heptane-2-carboxylic acid. Its main uses are in intensive care medicine, diabetes-related foot infections and empirical therapy in febrile neutropenia. The sodium salt of piperacillin is administered intramuscularly or intravenously. It is a white to off-white powder; freely soluble in water and in alcohol. The pH of an aqueous solution should be 5 to 7.Piperacillin is an ureidopenicillin antibiotic particularly effective against Pseudomonas infections. It is also used in combination with other antibiotics especially with tazobactam, a penicillanic acid sulfone derivative which acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor similar to sulbactam, to widen the spectrum of activity. Some brand names include Pipracil (piperacillin alone), Tazocin, Tazocin, Tazocin, and Zosyn.
