Clavulanic Acid
A beta-lactamase inhibitor produced by the bacterium Streptomyces clavuligerus, discovered in the mid-1970s by British researchers and combined with amoxicillin since the early 1980s, to protect it from the enzymes of resistant bacteria. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
Did you know?On its own it is a weak antibiotic: it binds irreversibly to beta-lactamases and disables them by sacrificing itself, which is why it is called a 'suicide inhibitor'.
