Identification
- Summary
Amoxicillin is a penicillin derivative used for the treatment of infections caused by gram-positive bacteria, in particular streptococcal bacteria causing upper respiratory tract infections.
- Brand Names
- Amoxil, Augmentin, Clavulin, Moxatag, Omeclamox, Prevpac, Talicia
- Generic Name
- Amoxicillin
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB01060
- Background
Amoxicillin, or BRL-2333, is a penicillin G derivative first described in the literature in 1972.6 Amoxicillin has similar activity to penicillin and ampicillin, but leads to higher serum concentrations than ampicillin.6
Amoxicillin was granted FDA approval on 18 January 1974.12

Pharmacology
- Indication
Amoxicillin alone is indicated to treat susceptible bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, genitourinary tract, skin, skin structure, and lower respiratory tract.17,18 Amoxicillin is given with calvulanic acid to treat acute bacterial sinusitis, community acquired pneumonia, lower respiratory tract infections, acute bacterial otitis media, skin and skin structure infections, and urinary tract infections.14,15,16 Amoxicillin is given with omeprazole in the treatment of H. pylori.11,13

Contraindications & Blackbox WarningsWith our commercial data, access important information on dangerous risks, contraindications, and adverse effects.Our Blackbox Warnings cover Risks, Contraindications, and Adverse Effects- Pharmacodynamics
Amoxicillin competitively inhibit penicillin binding proteins, leading to upregulation of autolytic enzymes and inhibition of cell wall synthesis.9,10,5 Amoxicillin has a long duration of action as it is usually given twice daily.15 Amoxicillin has a wide therapeutic range as mild overdoses are not associated with significant toxicity.14 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of anaphylaxis, Clostridium difficile infections, and bacterial resistance.17
- Mechanism of action
Amoxicillin competitively inhibits penicillin-binding protein 1 and other high molecular weight penicillin binding proteins.9,10 Penicillin bind proteins are responsible for glycosyltransferase and transpeptidase reactions that lead to cross-linking of D-alanine and D-aspartic acid in bacterial cell walls.10 Without the action of penicillin binding proteins, bacteria upregulate autolytic enzymes and are unable to build and repair the cell wall, leading to bacteriocidal action.5,10
Target Actions Organism UPenicillin binding protein inhibitorHelicobacter pylori - Absorption
Amoxicillin is approximately 60% bioavailable.8 A 250mg dose of oral amoxicillin reaches a Cmax 3.93±1.13mg/L with a Tmax 1.31±0.33h and an AUC of 27.29±4.72mg*h/L.4 A 875mg dose of oral amoxicillin reaches a Cmax 11.21±3.42mg/L with a Tmax 1.52±0.40h and an AUC of 55.04±12.68mg*h/L.4
- Volume of distribution
The central volume of distribution of amoxicillin is 27.7L.4
- Protein binding
Amoxicillin is 17% protein bound in serum.3
- Metabolism
Incubation with human liver microsomes has lead to the detection of 7 metabolites.1 The M1 metabolite has undergone hydroxylation, M2 has undergone oxidative deamination, M3 to M5 have undergone oxidation of the aliphatic chain, M6 has undergone decarboxylation, and M7 has undergone glucuronidation.1
