Description

Talampicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin antibiotic that is a prodrug of ampicillin. It is absorbed more readily than ampicillin from the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in higher serum levels of ampicillin. Talampicillin is hydrolyzed to ampicillin in the body, and has the same spectrum of antibacterial activity as ampicillin. It is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections. Talampicillin is typically administered orally, and is available in both tablet and capsule form. Talampicillin is an important antibiotic because it is effective against a wide range of bacteria, and it is well tolerated by most patients. It is studied to understand its mechanism of action, its pharmacokinetic properties, and its clinical efficacy.'

Research Excerpts

Overview

Talampicillin is an ester of ampicillin. It is readily hydrolysed on absorption to release ampicillillin.

Pharmacokinetics

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" In order to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters, plasma levels were analyzed using an one-compartment open model, as well as area under the plasma concentration curve (AUC) and urinary excretion."( [Talampicillin hydrochloride: Comparison with amoxicillin and ampicillin in the antibacterial activity and pharmacokinetics (author's transl)].

Bioavailability

Absolute oral bioavailability was 31, 39, 23, and 2% for pivampicillin, bacampicisin, talampicin, and ampicillin sodium, respectively. A 200-mg amount of bacampsicillin showed a significantly higher relative extent of bioavailability than did a 250- mg amount of talampiillin.
