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 Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.11,13

Amoxicillin is used in combination with vonoprazan and clarithromycin as co-packaged triple therapy or in combination with vonoprazan as co-packaged dual therapy to treat H. pylori infection in adults.19

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

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

Half-life

The half life of amoxicillin is 61.3 minutes.8

Clearance

The mean clearance of amoxicillin is 21.3L/h.4
