    Piperacillin

    $85.00 - $120.00

    Piperacillin is the monohydrate form of Piperacillin, a semi-synthetic, extended spectrum fungistatic β-lactam fourth-generation ureidopenicillin.  It was developed by Toyama Chemical Co, Tokyo, Japan and is derived from Ampicillin.  Piperacillin is commonly used in combination with the β -lactamase inhibitor Tazobactam.  It can be used to study multidrug resistance.  

    Piperacillin is sparingly soluble in aqueous solution.

    • Piperacillin Sodium (P010)
    Mechanism of Action β-lactams interfere with PBP (penicillin binding protein) activity involved in the final phase of peptidoglycan synthesis. PBP’s are enzymes which catalyze a pentaglycine crosslink between alanine and lysine residues providing additional strength to the cell wall. Without a pentaglycine crosslink, the integrity of the cell wall is severely compromised and ultimately leads to cell lysis and death. Resistance to β-lactams is commonly due to cells containing plasmid encoded β-lactamases.
    Spectrum Piperacillin is broad-spectrum,  targeting a wide range of susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.  It targets both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.  It can be used against Enterococcus species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and E. coli.
    Impurity Profile Related Substances:
    Impurity A: ≤ 1.0%
    Impurity B: ≤ 0.2%
    Impurity C: ≤ 0.4%
    Impurity D: ≤ 2.0%
    Ampicillin: ≤ 0.2%
    Microbiology Applications Piperacillin is commonly used in clinical in vitro microbiological antimicrobial susceptibility tests (panels, discs, and MIC strips) against Gram- positive and Gram-negative microbial isolates. Medical microbiologists use AST results to recommend antibiotic treatment options.  It is commonly used in a mixture with the β-lactamase inhibitor Tazobactam which enhances is effectiveness. Representative MIC values include:
    • Neisseria spp. 0.015 µg/mL – 32 µg/mL
    • Bacteroides fragilis 0.25 µg/mL - 32 µg/mL

    Plant Biology Applications In vitro activity of Piperacillin against Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains LBA4404 and EHA101 was examined and found to be effective in eliminating the bacteria involved in Agrobacterium-mediated plant genetic transformation (Ogawa and Mii, 2004).
