antibacterial combination consisting of the
semisynthetic antibacterial ampicillin sodium and the beta-lactamase
inhibitor sulbactam sodium for
intravenous and intramuscular administration.
Ampicillin sodium is derived from the penicillin nucleus,
6-aminopenicillanic acid. Chemically, it is
monosodium (2S, 5R,
6R)-6-[(R)-2-amino-2-phenylacetamido]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-
azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate and has a molecular weight of
371.39. Its chemical formula is
C
H N NaO S.
The structural formula is:
Sulbactam sodium is a derivative of the basic penicillin nucleus.
Chemically, sulbactam sodium is
sodium penicillinate sulfone; sodium (2S,
5R)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-
carboxylate 4,4-dioxide. Its chemical formula is C H NNaO S with a
molecular weight of 255.22.
The structural formula is:
Ampicillin and sulbactam for injection, USP parenteral combination, is
