Product Description

Ampicillin Trihydrate [D-(-)-α-Aminobenzylpenicillin] is a transpeptidase inhibitor used as a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic by preventing bacterial cell wall formation. It has activity against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Bacterial cell wall synthesis; β-lactam
ln Vitro
In an 11-week-old pig, ampicillin trihydrate (D-(-)-α-Aminobenzylpenicillin trihydrate) is very effective in treating hemorrhagic enteritis[1].
Maximum concentrations of ampicillin trihydrate are twice as high in bile as they are in serum. After an oral dosage, the peak concentration of ampicillin in portal blood is twice as high as in peripheral blood[2].
Neuroprotection against ischemia-reperfusion brain damage is offered by ampicillin trihydrate. Ampicillin trihydrate increases GLT-1 expression while decreasing MMP activity. After global forebrain ischemia, pretreatment with ampicillin trihydrate dramatically lowers medial hippocampal cell death[3].
ln Vivo
Ampicillin trihydrate (D-(-)-α-Aminobenzylpenicillin trihydrate) is very effective in alleviating the symptoms of hemorrhagic enteritis in a 11-week old pig[1]. Ampicillin trihydrate produces maximum concentrations in bile twice as high as in serum. The peak concentration of ampicillin after an oral dose is as twice as high in portal blood as in peripheral blood[2]. Ampicillin trihydrate provides neuroprotection against ischemia-reperfusion brain injury. Ampicillin trihydrate reduces the activities of MMPs and increases the expression level of GLT-1. Pretreatment with Ampicillin trihydrate significantly reduces medial hippocampal cell death following global forebrain ischemia[3].
Enzyme Assay
SENSITIVITY TESTING[1]
A set of 5 replicate tubes at each concentration of the antibiotic were inoculated with one drop each of an 18 hour growth of the test culture. The inoculated tubes were incubated at 37°C. for 6 hours, after which further growth was stopped by mixing formalin at 0.5% final concentration. Growth of cultures was recorded as the optical density, employing a Fisher Electrophotometer3 with a 525 m.u. filter.
Cell Assay
The in vitro susceptibility of 103 cultures of E. coli isolated from scouring and nonscouring pigs, and four cultures of Salmonella isolated from a case of necrotic enteritis was tested against Ampicillin contained in nutrient broth at concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1.0 and 5.0 uG per ml. of the medium. All but three cultures of E. coli were found to be susceptible to 5.0 uG/ml., all Salmonella isolates were also susceptible to this concentration of the antibiotic. Susceptibility of E. coli was also tested by plating dilutions of fecal samples obtained from either a scouring or a nonscouring pig, with E.M.B. agar containing 0, 0.1, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 uG Ampicillin per ml. of the medium. No difference in the growth of E. coli was observed at 0, 0.1 and 1.0 uG concentrations. The three higher concentrations of the antibiotic inhibited the growth of E. coli proportional to the amount of Ampicillin in each concentration. Ampicillin proved very effective in alleviating the symptoms of hemorrhagic enteritis in a 11-week old pig. The disappearance of scours was associated with the replacement of the previously existing sero-biotypes of fecal E. coliwith another aberrant type of E.coli which produced H2S. No Ampicillin resistant strains of E. coli emerged following treatment of the animal with this antibiotic.[1]
Animal Protocol
Ampicillin (200 mg/kg/day) and penicillin G sodium salt (6,000 U/kg or 20,000 U/kg) were dissolved in normal saline and administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 5 days. Forebrain ischemia was induced as described earlier 24 h after the last injection. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of ampicillin, dihydrokainic acid (DHK) (10 mg/kg), a GLT-1 inhibitor, was administrated i.p. 30 min before the onset of ischemia. In the control animals, saline was administered instead of ampicillin or penicillin G, at the same volume and time schedule.[3]
Ampicillin was tested on a 11-week old pig suffering from hemorrhagic enteritis. The antibiotic was administered orally in gelatin capsules. An initial dose of 8 mg/ Kg body weight was followed by two, 4 mg/Kg doses at 4 hour intervals. Fecal samples were obtained from the above scouring pig before the administration of the antibiotic and 48 hours after the first dose, by that time the animal had recovered. A third fecal sample was obtained from a healthy pig in another litter as a control. Dilutions of 'the fecal samples ranging up to 10-8 were plated in E.M.B. agar medium containing 0, 0.1, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 uG of Ampicillin per ml. of the medium. The plates were incubated at 37°C. for 48 hours and the typical E. coli were enumerated. Seven representative colonies of E. colti were isolated from each fecal sample and characterized biochemically following Kaufmann's (5) scheme. The cultures were also identified serologically by employing 0 and K antisera prepared against six well described E. coli serotypes (E145, E681, E68II, G7, E4 and E57), isolated from diseased swine (Sojka, 10, 11). Antibiotic sensitivity of all the isolates was tested by employing sensi-discs4 of chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, 30 and 5 uG each, Bacitracin, penicillin, 10 I.U. each, and Ampicillin5, 10 uG. A few E. coli colonies which grew in E.M.B. media containing 5.0 and 10.0 uG of Ampicillin per ml. were tested for their susceptibility to 10.0 uG Ampicillin with sensitivity discs.[1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
Substantial information indicates that ampicillin produces low levels in milk that are not expected to cause adverse effects in breastfed infants. Occasionally disruption of the infant's gastrointestinal flora, resulting in diarrhea or thrush have been reported with penicillins, but these effects have not been adequately evaluated. Ampicillin is acceptable in nursing mothers.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants
An uncontrolled observation of the breastfed infants of mothers taking ampicillin noted a seeming increase in cases of diarrhea and candidiasis that was attributed to ampicillin in breastmilk.
In a prospective follow-up study, 5 nursing mothers reported taking ampicillin (dosage unspecified). One mother reported diarrhea in her infant. No rashes or candidiasis were reported among the exposed infants.
A small, controlled, prospective study had mothers monitor their infants for signs of adverse effects (furring of the tongue, feeding difficulties, changes in stool frequency and consistency, diaper rash, and skin rash). Weight change and the development of jaundice were also recorded. No statistical differences in these parameters were found between the infants of the control mothers and those of mothers taking ampicillin.

Additional Infomation
Ampicillin trihydrate is an odorless white microcrystalline powder with a bitter taste. A 0.25% solution in water has a pH of 3.5 to 5.5. (NTP, 1992)
Ampicillin trihydrate is a hydrate. It contains an ampicillin.
Ampicillin Trihydrate is the trihydrate form of ampicillin, a broad-spectrum semisynthetic derivative of aminopenicillin. Ampicillin trihydrate inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin binding proteins, thereby inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis, a critical component of the bacterial cell wall.
Semi-synthetic derivative of penicillin that functions as an orally active broad-spectrum antibiotic.
