Application: | The analytical standard can be used as follows:• Simultaneous analysis of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium in pharmaceutical formulations by capillary electrophoresis (CE) combined with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) • Development of a stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method combined with mass spectrometry (MS) to measure amoxicillin, clavulanate potassium, and their impurities in their combined dosage forms • Residue analysis of potassium clavulanate and amoxicillin trihydrate by a UV spectrophotometric method in their bulk, combined tablet formulations, and human urine samples • HPLC method-based determination of meropenem and potassium clavulanate in the presence of their degradation impurities in intravenous solutions in combination with a diode array detector (DAD) • Determination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) in their combined commercial formulations |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | β-lactamase inhibitor, typically added to amoxicillin to increase its effectiveness. |
General description: | Potassium clavulanate is an oxapenam derivative and belongs to the group of β-lactamase inhibitors. It is used in combination with the penicillin group of antibiotics to give them resistance to β-lactamase. |
