Reaction of Ampicillin and Amoxicillin with Alcohols
نویسندگان
چکیده
HPLC/ESI-MS analyses of alcohol solutions of ampicillin and amoxicillin have shown that the two drugs react very readily with alcohols (methanol and ethanol) at room temperatures, without the presence of any catalyst. Products of methanolysis were detected even when methanol was used as a mobile phase, in HPLC/ESI-MS analysis of a water solution of ampicillin and amoxicillin. Therefore, neither methanol nor other alcohols should be used when working with these compounds.

Background: Otitis media with effusion is one of the leading causes of hearing loss in children. Effective treatment of effusion in the middle ear requires appropriate empirical treatment and characterization of responsible pathogens. Objective of the present study was to detect pathogens in clinical samples from patients with otitis media with effusion in our area and to determine the sensitiv...
متن کاملFlow injection chemiluminescence analysis of some penicillins by their sensitizing effect on the potassium permanganate-glyoxal reaction.
A new chemiluminescence method using flow injection is described for the determination of four penicillins, namely: phenoxymethylpenicillin potassium, amoxicillin, ampicillin, and ampicillin sodium. The method is based on sensitizing effect of these drugs on the chemiluminescence reaction of potassium permanganate in sulfuric acid with glyoxal. The different experimental parameters affecting th...
متن کاملPenicillin degradation catalysed by Zn(II) ions in methanol.
The rates of degradation, catalysed by Zn(2+), of four classical penicillins-amoxicillin, ampicillin and penicillins G and V-were followed at 20 degrees C in methanol by spectrophotometric assays. Kinetic schemes of the reactions of degradation catalysed by Zn(2+) ions were analogous to those given previously for the reaction catalysed by Cd(2+) ions. The methanolysis of penicillin V occurs wit...
