Amoxicillin Trihydrate
Amoxicillin Trihydrate
Broad-Spectrum β-Lactam Antibiotic – Research Use Only
Catalog Number: AS-2047
CAS Number: 61336-70-7
Overview
Amoxicillin Trihydrate is the hydrated form of the semi-synthetic β-lactam antibiotic amoxicillin, widely used in antibacterial and antimicrobial research. It exhibits a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and selected Gram-negative bacteria and is structurally related to ampicillin, with improved acid stability.
In research settings, amoxicillin trihydrate is commonly studied alone or in combination with clavulanic acid (e.g. Augmentin® formulations) to investigate β-lactamase inhibition, resistance mechanisms, and synergistic antibacterial effects.
