A2510-5g | Ampicillin sodium [69-52-3] Clinisciences

Ampicillin sodium is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme transpeptidase with IC50 value of 1.8 μg/ml [1].

Ampicillin is a β-lactam antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting transpeptidase reactions. Transpeptidase is involved in the final stages of cell wall biosynthesis and inhibition of it ultimately leads to cell lysis [1].

In E. coli 146 cells treated with ether, Ampicillin showed no significant inhibition on the transpeptidase reaction at concentrations below 0.5 μg/ml, but exhibited 50% inhibition at the concentration of 1.8 μg/ml. In E. coli 146 cells, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Ampicillin was 3.1 μg/ml [1]. In E. coli and S. typhi, Ampicillin and Epicillin at concentrations close to MIC values killed bacteria at slower rates than Amoxycillin [2].

In experimental mouse infections, oral or subcutaneous treatment of Ampicillin at the dose of 0.2 ml/20 g was significantly more effective than Epicillin and Amoxycillin against the majority of infections [2].
