Amoxycillin

About Amoxycillin
Semisynthetic Broad spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic, An aminopenicillin Derivative.
Mechanism of Action of Amoxycillin
Amoxycillin is a bactericidal drug. It is a Beta lactum antibiotic. It binds to the Penicillin binding protein in the cell wall of bacteria and inhibits the enzyme transpeptidase which is responsible for the transpeptidation reaction in peptidoglycan synthesis. It also activates the endogenous enzyme which degrades the peptidoglycan.These results in inhibition of protein synthesis and there by cell wall synthesis. Amoxycillin is active against gram positive and gram negative bacteria except penicillinase producing once.

Clarithromycin

About Clarithromycin
It is a new macrolide antimicrobial drug.It is the most effective macrolide against Haemophilus influenzae, chlamydia trachomaitis and chlamydia pneumoniae.
Mechanism of Action of Clarithromycin
Clarithromycin is a member of macrolide antibiotic.It binds to the 50S sub unit of bacterial ribosome and inhibits translocation.ie:they interfere with the transfer of the newly formed peptide chain from the A site to the P site and fails to expose the A site .So that A site is unable to bind with the next aminoacyl tRNA complex. This leads to premature termination of amino acid chain and there by inhibits protein synthesis.
Pharmacokinets of Clarithromycin
Absorption: Clarithromycin is completely absorbed after oral administration. Distribution: It is widely distributed in the body .Metabolism: It is metabolized in to active and inactive compound .Excretion: It is excreted through urine.

Lansoprazole

About Lansoprazole
A proton pump inhibitor, Benzimidazole derivative, Anti ulcer.
Mechanism of Action of Lansoprazole
Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor. It is a prodrug. After administration it diffuses in to the parietal cell of the stomach and accumulates in the secretory canaliculi. In the acidic medium Lansoprazole is converted to sulfenamide. This sulfenamide covalently interacts with sulfhydryl (SH) group in the proton pump
(H+ K+ATPase) and inhibits the exchange of extracellular K+ for intracellular H+ ion. Lansoprazole irreversibly inhibits proton pumps activity and decreases gastric acid secretion.
Pharmacokinets of Lansoprazole
Absorption: Lansoprazole is well absorbed after oral administration.Distribution: It is widely distributed in the body in protein bound form.Metabolism: Lansoprazole is extensively metabolised in the liver.Excretion: It is excreted mainly in the faeces and small amount in urine.
Onset of Action for Lansoprazole
1- 2 hours
Duration of Action for Lansoprazole

1 day
