Description
Cloxacillin is a β-lactam antibiotic and a derivative of oxacillin . It is active against clinical isolates of the Gram-positive bacteria
S. aureus and
S. epidermidis (MICs = 0.004-0.4 and 0.1-0.8 μg/ml, respectively) but not 34 Gram-negative bacteria (MICs = >128 μg/ml for all). Cloxacillin binds to
S. aureus penicillin-binding protein 1 (PBP1), PBP2, PBP3, and PBP4 (IC
50s = 0.04, 0.12, 0.21, and 2.5 μg/ml, respectively). It also binds to recombinant type Ib penicillinase, as well as
P. vulgaris and
C. freundii cephalosporinase (K
is = 15, 0.27, and 0.027 μM, respectively). Cloxacillin decreases the number of staphylococci in the mammary gland in a mouse model of acute, but not chronic, mastitis induced by
Staphylococcus infection.

Uses
Ropivacaine (R675000) metabolite.
Uses
Labelled S-Form of Dropropizine. Cough suppressive phenylpiperazine derivative. Antitussive.
Uses
Cloxacillin-13C4 SodiuM Salt is an antibiotic that belongs to the group of the isoxazolylpenicillins. Cloxacillin is used to treat infections caused by species of staphylococci that produce beta-lactamase due to its inhibitory effects on beta-lactamase binding.

Definition
ChEBI: Cloxacillin sodium is an organic sodium salt. It contains a cloxacillin(1-).
Manufacturing Process
The reaction between 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6.5 g) and 3-o-chlorophenyl-5-
methylisoxazole4-carbonyl chloride (7.66 g) gave the sodium salt of 3-ochlorophenyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazolylpenicillin (9.98 g) as a pale yellow solid.
Colorimetric assay with hydroxylamine against a benzylpenicillin standard
indicated a purity of 68%.
The 3-o-chlorophenyl-5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid, from which the acid
chloride was prepared, was obtained by hydrolysis of the ester product of the
reaction between o-chlorobenzohydroxamic chloride and ethyl acetoacetate in
methanolic sodium methoxide. Reaction with thionyl chloride gave the starting
material.
brand name
Cloxapen (GlaxoSmithKline); Tegopen
(Apothecon).
Therapeutic Function
Antibacterial
Purification Methods
Purify cloxacillin sodium salt by dissolving it in isoPrOH containing 20% of H2O, and diluting with isoPrOH to a water content of 5% and chilling. Recrystallise it again in this manner. The sodium salt is collected and dried at 40o in air to give the colourless monohydrate. It is soluble in H2O (5%), MeOH, EtOH, pyridine and ethylene glycol. [Doyle et al.
