Azlocillin is an antibiotic, drug used to treat infections. It is an acylated form of ampicillin and is similar to the antibiotics mezlocillin and piperacillin. It has greater antibacterial activity relative to similar carboxy forms of penicillin. It is active against a wide variety of bacteria.
Chemistry
Azlocillin is a -lactam drug and is thus susceptible to degration by -lactamase. Its chemical name is (2S,5R,6R)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-[[2-[(2-oxoimidazolidine-1-carbonyl)amino]-2-phenylacetyl]amino]-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid and it has chemical formula C20H23N5O6S.
