Azlocillin Sodium is a broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic and semi-synthetic penicillin derived from ampicillin. It is similar to peperacillin and mezlocillin. The compound has broad-spectrum activity and can be used against a number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It has been used to develop novel antibiotic quantitation techniques. Studies have shown that Azlocillin can inhibit Borrelia. burgdorferi, the causal agent of lyme disease.
Azlocillin Sodium is freely soluble in aqueous solution.
