Pivampicillin
An oral prodrug of ampicillin: it is its pivaloyloxymethyl ester, more lipophilic and therefore better absorbed in the gut; once in the body, esterases split it and release the antibiotic. In the 1980s it was also used in combination with pivmecillinam. This family brings together the active ingredient and pharmacopoeial impurities.
Did you know?The prefix 'piv-' refers to the pivaloyl group, the same chemical trick used for other antibiotics such as pivmecillinam and cefditoren pivoxil, which like it release pivalic acid.
