Extended Knowledge:

History and Composition:

Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic derivative of penicillin, developed in the 1970s. It belongs to the beta-lactam class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Mechanism of Action:

Amoxicillin targets the bacterial cell wall synthesis, binding to penicillin-binding proteins inside the bacterial cell wall. This action inhibits the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains, which are crucial for cell wall strength and rigidity, ultimately causing the bacteria to lyse and die.

Repurposed Medicine Trials:

Amoxicillin has been examined in trials for:

• Combination Therapy: Often used in combination with other drugs to treat H. pylori infections.
• Chronic Infections: Studied for long-term use in chronic bacterial infections, including respiratory and urinary tract infections.
