“…This formulation is given as two tablets, each of which consists of a bilayer comprising a sustained-release layer of sodium amoxicillin (437.5 mg) and an immediate-release layer of amoxicillin trihydrate (562.5 mg)/ potassium clavulanate (62.5 mg). This bilayer design extends the duration of the dosing interval for which serum amoxicillin concentrations are above the MIC to 49% for strains with MICs of 4 g/ml and 35% for strains with MICs of 8 g/ml (18).…”

A new pharmacokinetically enhanced formulation of amoxicillin-clavulanate (2,000 mg of amoxicillin/125 mg of clavulanate twice a day; ratio 16:1) has been designed, with sustained-release technology, to allow coverage of bacterial strains with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid MICs of at least 4/2 g/ml. The bacteriological efficacy of amoxicillin-clavulanate, 2,000/125 mg twice a day, ratio 16:1, was compared in a rat model of respiratory tract infection versus four other amoxicillin-clavulanate formulations: 8:1 three times a day (1,000/125 mg), 7:1 three times a day (875/125 mg), 7:1 twice a day (875/125 mg), and 4:1 three times a day (500/125 mg); levofloxacin (500 mg once a day); and azithromycin (1,000 mg on day 1 followed thereafter by 500 mg once a day). Bacterial strains included Streptococcus pneumoniae, with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid MICs of 2/1 (one strain), 4/2, or 8/4 g/ml (three strains each), and Haemophilus influenzae, one ␤-lactamase-positive strain and one ␤-lactamasenegative, ampicillin-resistant strain. Animals were infected by intrabronchial instillation. Antibacterial treatment commenced 24 h postinfection, with doses delivered by computer-controlled intravenous infusion to approximate the concentrations achieved in human plasma following oral administration. Plasma concentrations in the rat corresponded closely with target human concentrations for all antimicrobials tested. Amoxicillin-clavulanate, 2,000/125 mg twice a day, ratio 16:1, was effective against all S. pneumoniae strains tested, including those with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid MICs of up to 8/4 g/ml and against ␤-lactamase-producing and ␤-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant H. influenzae. These results demonstrate the bacteriological efficacy of pharmacokinetically enhanced amoxicillin-clavulanate 2,000/125 mg twice a day (ratio 16:1) against S. pneumoniae with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid MICs of at least 4/2 g/ml and support clavulanate 125 mg twice a day as sufficient to protect against ␤-lactamase in this rat model.Antimicrobial agent-resistant strains of the key respiratory tract pathogens are widespread, and their prevalence is increasing in many areas (12,15). For Haemophilus influenzae collected in the Alexander Project in 2001, the prevalence of ␤-lactamase production exceeded 24% in the United States and was more than 10% in 9 of the 16 countries included within the study (27). In the same study, the prevalence of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in 2001 was approximately 20% in the United States and over 30% in Spain, Japan, France, and Hong Kong. The prevalence of macrolideresistant S. pneumoniae was also high in the United States (28%) and was at least 10% in 12 of the 16 countries included within the study (27). Data from the 1998 to 2000 Alexander Project and other surveillance studies have reported similar findings (15)(16)(17)26).Amoxicillin-clavulanate is a combination of the ␤-lactam antibiotic amoxicillin and the ␤-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid in the potassium form. Clavulanic acid protect...

“…Por ejemplo, el abordaje terapéutico de una neumonía extrahospitalaria en la República Checa podría ser diferente al de España, si se tiene en cuenta que en el primero la CIM 90 de neumococo a penicilina es menor o igual a 0,06 mg/l (0% de resistencia a penicilina) y la prevalencia de resistencia a macrólidos es de un 2,2% 73 , situación completamente distinta de la de nuestro país, donde la CIM 90 de penicilina y amoxicilina es de 2 mg/l y la prevalencia de resistencia a macrólidos se sitúa en torno al 35% 2 . En este sentido, se ha diseñado una nueva formulación mejorada farmacocinéticamente de amoxicilina-ácido clavulánico (2.000/125 mg liberación prolongada) que administrada dos veces al día permite erradicar cepas de S. pneumoniae resistentes a penicilina y amoxicilina con CIM de 4 e incluso de 8 mg/l [74][75][76][77][78] , lo que le convierte en el betalactámico oral con mayor cobertura frente al neumococo, y por lo tanto en una futura opción para el tratamiento de infecciones respiratorias de probable etiología neumocócica en áreas con alta prevalencia de resistencia a penicilina y macrólidos, como es el caso de nuestro medio, especialmente si se quiere mantener bajo control el consumo de fluoroquinolonas 23,58 . Datos procedentes de 9 ensayos clínicos mostraron una tasa de erradicación del 98,2% (55/56) en pacientes infectados por neumococo resistente a penicilina (CIM Ն 2 mg/l), incluyendo el 95,2% (20/21) de los casos producidos por neumococo resistente a amoxicilina (CIM de 4 y 8 mg/l) 75 .…”

A liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method with amoxicillin‐d4 as the stable isotope‐labeled internal standard for simultaneous quick detection of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid in human plasma was developed and validated. Chromatographic separations were performed on a Hedera ODS‐2 column (2.1 × 150 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phases for gradient elution were aqueous solution containing 0.2% acetic acid (AA) (mobile phase A) together with organic phase solution (acetonitrile and methanol mixed solution, mobile phase B). Mass spectrometry was performed using negative electrospray ionization in multiple reaction monitoring mode. The target fragment ion pairs of amoxicillin, clavulanic acid and amoxicillin‐d4 were m/z 364.1 → 223.1, 198.1 → 135.9 and 368.1 → 227.1, respectively. The linear ranges of this method were 40–5,000 ng/ml for amoxicillin and 30–2,500 ng/ml for clavulanic acid, with coefficient of determination > 0.9900. This method validation included selectivity, standard curve, lower limit of quantitation, accuracy, precision, recovery, matrix effect (hemolytic matrix and hyperlipidemic matrix), carryover, stability, dilution reliability and incurred sample reanalysis study. A successful application of this method was realized in a pharmacokinetic study after administration of amoxicillin–clavulanic acid potassium granules.
