APPLICATIONS

Sulbactam, a derivative of the basic penicillin nucleus, is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Chemical designation is (2S, 5R)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0] heptane-2-carboxylate 4,4-dioxide. It is used to increase the antibacterial spectrum of penicillins and cephalosporins against penicillinase-producing and beta-lactamase–producing organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, H. flu, Moraxella catarrhalis that are resistant to ampicillin alone. Sulbactam does not improve enterococcal activity of ampicillin. Aampicillin/Gentamicin combination is used for the treatment of enterococcal infection. Sultamicillin is the combination of ampicillin and sulbactam. Sultamicillin is a white to off-white crystalline powder; soluble in aqueous diluents to yield reconstitution of ampicillin and sulbactam. Beta-lactamase enzymes are produced by some bacteria and have resistance ability to beta-lactam antibiotics. These enzymes deactivate the antibacterial properties of beta-lactam antibiotics by opening the beta-lactam ring. Beta-lactamase inhibitors have little antimicrobial functions themselves and are combined with an actual beta-lactam antibiotic. Beta-lactamase inhibitors' function is to bind beta-lactamase enzymes to form an inactive molecule so that the actual beta-lactam antibiotic access to the bacterial wall which it destroys. Beta-lactamase inhibitors include clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam.
