Sultamicillin is the mutual prodrug of sulbactam and ampicillin. It is the tosylate salt of the double ester of sulbactam plus ampicillin. Sulbactam is a semisynthetic ß-lactamase inhibitor which, in combination with ampicillin, extends the antibacterial activity of the latter to include some ß-lactamase-producing strains of bacteria that would otherwise be resistant. The combination of sulbactam plus ampicillin for parenteral use has previously been shown to be clinically and bacteriologically effective in a variety of infections. Sultamicillin is marketed under a trade name Unasyn among others.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Sultamicillin was first developed in 1987 by Pfizer Inc and marketed under the trade name Unasyn # Pfizer

Sample Use Guides

UNASYN (Sultamicillin) may be administered by either the IV or the IM routes. For IV administration, the dose can be given by slow intravenous injection over at least 10–15 minutes or can also be delivered in greater dilutions with 50–100 mL of a compatible diluent as an intravenous infusion over 15–30 minutes. UNASYN may be administered by deep intramuscular injection. The recommended adult dosage of UNASYN is 1.5 g (1 g ampicillin as the sodium salt plus 0.5 g sulbactam as the sodium salt) to 3 g (2 g ampicillin as the sodium salt plus 1 g sulbactam as the sodium salt) every six hours. This 1.5 to 3 g range represents the total of ampicillin content plus the sulbactam content of UNASYN, and corresponds to a range of 1 g ampicillin/0.5 g sulbactam to 2 g ampicillin/1 g sulbactam. The total dose of sulbactam should not exceed 4 grams per day. Pediatric Patients 1 Year of Age or Older: The recommended daily dose of UNASYN in pediatric patients is 300 mg per kg of body weight administered via intravenous infusion in equally divided doses every 6 hours. This 300 mg/kg/day dosage represents the total ampicillin content plus the sulbactam content of UNASYN, and corresponds to 200 mg ampicillin/100 mg sulbactam per kg per day.
Route of Administration: Other
Against methicillin-susceptible strains of S.aureus the activity of ampicillin plus sulbactam (Sultamicillin) was equal to that of cephalexin (MIC90 = 4 mg/L) and against methicillin-resistant strains of S. aureus the MIC90 of ampicillin plus sulbactam was 16 mg/L.
