Clavulanic acid
text:
Clavulanic acid is a β-lactam drug that functions as a mechanism-based β-lactamase inhibitor. While not effective by itself as an antibiotic, when combined with penicillin-group antibiotics, it can overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria that secrete β-lactamase, which otherwise inactivates most penicillins. In its most common preparations, potassium clavulanate is combined with: amoxicillin
ticarcillin Clavulanic acid was patented in 1974.
