Clavulanic acid is a β-lactam drug that enhances the activity of penicillin-group antibiotics against bacteria that produce β-lactamase. It is combined with amoxicillin or ticarcillin in various preparations and has some off-target effects in the nervous system. Name Clavulanate potassium Drug Entry Clavulanic acid Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that is frequently combined with Amoxicillin or Ticarcillin to fight antibiotic resistance by preventing their degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes, broadening their spectrum of susceptible bacterial infections. 8 Clavulanic acid is derived from the organism Streptomyces clavuligerus. 1 When it is combined with amoxicillin, clavulanic acid is frequently known as Augmentin, Co-Amoxiclav, or ... Clavulanate Potassium is a semi-synthetic beta-lactamase inhibitor isolated from streptomyces. Clavunalate potassium contains a beta-lactam ring and binds strongly to beta-lactamase at or near its active site. This protects other beta-lactam antibiotics from beta-lactamase catalysis.
