AMPICILLIN
is a semisynthetic antibiotic,
a member of the penicillin family of antibiotics.
To extend the usefulness of the penicillins to the
treatment of infections caused by gram-negative
rods, the broad-spectrum penicillins (ampicillin,
amoxicillin, carbenicillin, and ticarcillin) were
developed.
It is created by attaching acid radicals to
the central structure of 6-aminopenicillanic acid.
Chemically, it is D-(-)-6-(2-amino-2-phenylacetamido)-3,3-dimethyl-7
-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo [3.2.0]
heptane-2-carboxylic acid trihydrate. Similar
in action to penicillin G--the most widely used
natural penicillin--ampicillin (or alpha-aminobenzylpenicillin)
is more stable in stomach acids and therefore may
be given orally; it is also more active against
certain strains of bacteria. It is used regularly
to treat common urinary-tract infections, some respiratory
infections, and bacterial meningitis in children,
although many strains of Hemophilus influenzae
(the most common cause of bacterial meningitis)
are now resistant to ampicillin, and it commonly
is used along with other drugs. The potential side
effects of ampicillin are similar to those of other
penicillins--i.e., chiefly allergic reactions
ranging from skin rashes and hives to life-threatening
anaphylactic shock (very rare). People who are allergic
to other drugs in this family are also likely to
react to ampicillin. The incidence of skin rashes
is higher with ampicillin than with other penicillins,
a factor that suggests a possible toxic reaction,
as well as a truly allergic response. AMOXICILLIN
is a semisynthetic antibiotic, an analog of ampicillin,
with a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against
many gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.
Chemically it is (2S,5R,6R)-6-[(R)-(-)-2-amino-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-
4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic
acid trihydrate. Amoxicillin is useful in treating urinary tract infections
caused by gram-negative rods as well as in treating
typhoid and enteric fevers.
