Product Description
Mechanism of action
Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic aminopenicillin that inhibits transpeptidation during bacterial cell wall synthesis. By binding penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), it prevents formation of cross-linked peptidoglycan, leading to cell lysis in actively dividing bacteria.
Benefits and advantages
Due to its broad spectrum and consistent behaviour, amoxicillin is widely used in antimicrobial susceptibility testing, beta-lactamase inhibition studies and drug-resistance modelling. Its predictable PK profile makes it ideal for benchmarking new lactam analogues.
Side effects and risks
Allergy, rash, anaphylaxis, GI upset and rare hepatic injury. Must be handled under biosafety conditions.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
