The drug NOPRILAM contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Amoxicillin trihydrate
UNII 804826J2HU - AMOXICILLIN
|
|
Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic penicillin (beta-lactam antibiotic) that inhibits one or more enzymes (often referred to as penicillin-binding proteins, PBPs) in the biosynthetic pathway of bactericidal peptidoglycan, which is an integral structural component of the bacterial cell wall. Inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis leads to weakening of the cell wall, which is usually followed by cell lysis and death. |
|
2
Clavulanic acid
UNII 23521W1S24 - CLAVULANIC ACID
|
|
Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactam structurally related to penicillins. It inactivates some beta-lactamase enzymes thereby preventing inactivation of amoxicillin. |
This drug has been classified in the anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) classification system as follows:
