Amoxicillin Sodium is the sodium salt form of a broad-spectrum, semisynthetic aminopenicillin antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Amoxicillin binds to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity. This interrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis and results in the weakening of the bacterial cell wall and causes cell lysis. It is grouped under the following drug class(es): Beta-lactams and Penicillins. Its therapeutic use is listed as anti-infectives and antibacterials. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a peptide source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Riotapen, Acuotricina, Amitron, Penamox, Quimiopen and Trifamox. Its PubChem CID is 23663126.
