Securopen

Securopen Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Securopen is a semisynthetic ampicillin-derived acylureido penicillin.

Similar to mezlocillin and piperacillin, azlocillin is an acylampicillin that exhibits an extended-spectrum of activity and in vitro potency that is greater than that of the carboxy penicillins. Securopen is shown to be effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and enterococci.

Uses

For the treatment of infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Haemophilus influenzae.

How Securopen works

By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, azlocillin inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that azlocillin interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.

Elimination Route

Not significantly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

Half Life

Mean elimination half-life is 1.3 to 1.5 hours. Longer in neonates, and 2 to 6 hours in patients with renal impairment.
