Amoxicillin

Synonyms: Amoxicillin, Amox, Amoxil, Moxatag, Amoxicillin trihydrate, α-Amino-p-hydroxybenzylpenicillin, BRL-2333

Amoxicillin remains a high-demand aminopenicillin in the global API market, particularly for oral solid dosage forms targeting respiratory, urinary, and skin infections. Its broad-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, combined with good oral absorption and a well-established safety profile, keeps it a staple in antibiotic formularies. Procurement teams frequently source amoxicillin trihydrate for generic capsules, tablets, and pediatric suspensions, often in combination with clavulanic acid.

Chemically, amoxicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin derived from the penicillin nucleus, 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The addition of an amino group in the side chain enhances its activity against certain Gram-negative organisms compared to natural penicillins. It is commonly supplied as the trihydrate form, which offers improved stability for solid dosage manufacturing.

LyvBio provides amoxicillin trihydrate with assay typically 95.0–102.0% on an anhydrous basis, meeting EP, USP, and BP requirements. Our material is routinely tested for identity, loss on drying, heavy metals, and microbial limits, ensuring consistent quality for formulation. With a reliable supply chain and comprehensive documentation, we support both small-scale development and large-volume production.

Product Overview & Composition

Amoxicillin trihydrate is the most common form used in oral pharmaceuticals. It contains three molecules of water per molecule of amoxicillin, which contributes to its crystalline stability. The active moiety is amoxicillin, a β-lactam antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis.

Our product is manufactured under cGMP conditions and is available in various particle sizes to suit different formulation needs, from direct compression to wet granulation. Each batch is accompanied by a certificate of analysis (COA) to ensure compliance with pharmacopeial standards.

Applications & Product Lines

• Oral antibiotics: Amoxicillin is a first-line treatment for many common bacterial infections, including pneumonia, bronchitis, and urinary tract infections.
• Combination products: Often co-formulated with clavulanic acid to overcome β-lactamase resistance, extending its spectrum.
• Pediatric suspensions: The trihydrate form is ideal for suspension formulations due to its stability and palatability when mixed with suitable excipients.
• Veterinary medicine: Also used in veterinary antibiotics for livestock and companion animals, though regulatory requirements differ.
• Research and development: Used as a reference standard and in the development of new antibiotic formulations.
