🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionAmpicillin and cloxacillin are both absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Ampicillin absorption is partially affected by food, while cloxacillin absorption is reduced by food. The bioavailability of ampicillin is approximately 30-55% and cloxacillin is approximately 50-70%. Taking this medicine with food may decrease absorption; therefore, it is generally recommended to take it on an empty stomach, but if gastrointestinal upset occurs, it may be taken with food.

DistributionBoth ampicillin and cloxacillin distribute widely into body tissues and fluids, including pleural fluid, synovial fluid, and peritoneal fluid. Ampicillin achieves therapeutic concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid when the meninges are inflamed. Cloxacillin is highly protein-bound and primarily distributes into extracellular fluid. Both drugs cross the placenta and are excreted in breast milk in small amounts.

Protein BindingAmpicillin is approximately 15-25% bound to plasma proteins, while cloxacillin is approximately 94-97% bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin.

MetabolismAmpicillin is partially metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites, but a significant portion is excreted unchanged. Cloxacillin is metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites, including penicilloic acid derivatives. Both drugs undergo some degree of hepatic metabolism.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of ampicillin is approximately 1 to 1.5 hours in patients with normal renal function. The elimination half-life of cloxacillin is approximately 0.5 to 1.1 hours. These half-lives may be prolonged in patients with renal impairment.

ExcretionAmpicillin is primarily excreted unchanged in the urine by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion, with about 60-80% of a dose recovered in urine within 6 hours. Cloxacillin is also excreted in urine, with about 40-50% of a dose recovered as unchanged drug, and the remainder as metabolites. Both drugs are also excreted in small amounts in bile and feces.

BioavailabilityThe oral bioavailability of ampicillin is approximately 30-55%, and for cloxacillin, it is approximately 50-70%. Food may reduce the absorption of both drugs, particularly cloxacillin.

Onset of ActionThe onset of action for this medicine is typically within 1 to 2 hours after oral administration, corresponding to the time it takes to reach therapeutic plasma concentrations. However, clinical improvement of symptoms may take 24 to 48 hours.

Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations of ampicillin are reached approximately 1 to 2 hours after oral administration. For cloxacillin, peak plasma concentrations are reached approximately 0.5 to 1 hour after oral administration.

Duration of ActionThe duration of action for this medicine is generally 6 to 8 hours, depending on the dose and the susceptibility of the infecting organism. This is why it is usually administered every 6 to 8 hours.

How It Works

This medicine works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Ampicillin and cloxacillin are beta-lactam antibiotics that bind to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall. This binding inhibits the transpeptidation reaction that cross-links peptidoglycan chains, which are essential for cell wall strength and rigidity. As a result, the bacterial cell wall becomes weakened, leading to cell lysis and death, especially in actively dividing bacteria. Cloxacillin is resistant to hydrolysis by penicillinase enzymes produced by certain bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, allowing it to remain active against these resistant strains. Ampicillin extends the spectrum to include some gram-negative bacteria. The combination provides broader coverage than either agent alone.

Mechanism Steps

1

Binding to penicillin-binding proteins: Ampicillin and cloxacillin bind to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall.

2

Inhibition of cell wall cross-linking: This binding inhibits the transpeptidase enzyme responsible for cross-linking peptidoglycan strands, which are essential for cell wall integrity.

3

Activation of autolysins: The inhibition of cell wall synthesis leads to the activation of autolytic enzymes that degrade the existing cell wall.

4

Bacterial cell lysis: The weakened cell wall cannot withstand osmotic pressure, causing the bacterium to swell and burst, resulting in cell death.

5

Resistance to penicillinase: Cloxacillin is not hydrolyzed by penicillinase enzymes produced by certain bacteria, allowing it to maintain its antibacterial activity against resistant strains.
