Overview

Hetacillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that is part of the aminopenicillin family. It is a prodrug and it has no antibacterial activity itself,[1] but quickly splits of acetone in the human body to form ampicillin,[2] which is active against a variety of bacteria.

Administration

Hetacillin can be administered orally.[2] The potassium salt, hetacillin potassium, is administered by injection, either intravenously or intramuscularly.[citation needed] It is sold under the trade name Hetacin for intramammary injection in veterinary use.[3]

Hetacillin was removed from the market for human use when the discovery was made that it is actually cleaved in the gastrointestinal tract to formaldehyde and had no advantages over ampicillin.[citation needed]

Chemistry

Hetacillin is prepared from ampicillin and acetone. In aqueous solutions it is unstable, with a half life of 15 to 30 minutes at 37 °C (98.6 °F) and pH 7, quickly releasing acetone again.[1][4]

As opposed to ampicillin, hetacillin is only marginally broken down by the bacterial enzyme beta-lactamase, at least in vitro.[4]
