Hetacillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin compound with bactericidal properties. Hetacillin is a prodrug that is converted to ampicillin via esterases. Ampicillin binds to inactivated penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. PBPs, including transpeptidases, carboxypeptidases, and endopeptidases, participate in the terminal stages of assembling the bacterial cell wall and in reshaping the cell wall during growth and division. This results in the weakening of the bacterial cell wall and eventually causes cell lysis. (NCI05)

4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Hetacillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic prodrug used to treat bacterial infections. In the body it gets converted to ampicillin.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Hetacillin is a penicillin beta-lactam antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible, usually gram-positive, organisms. The name "penicillin" can either refer to several variants of penicillin available, or to the group of antibiotics derived from the penicillins. Hetacillin has in vitro activity against gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The bactericidal activity of Hetacillin results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis and is mediated through Hetacillin binding to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs).

5.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

Hydrolyzed to active ampicillin via esterases


5.4 Mechanism of Action

Hetacillin is a semisynthetic penicillin prodrug which itself has no antibacterial activity, but is converted in the body to ampicillin and has actions and uses similar to those of ampicillin. Hetacillin is prepared by reacting ampicillin with acetone. Ampicillin rapidly decomposes because of the intramolecular attack of the side chain amino group on the lactam ring. _In vitro_ studies have shown that hetacillin is resistant to beta lactamase activity. However, this effect is transient, as the hydrolysis product, ampicillin, is readily inactivated by beta lactamase. Hetacillin locks up the offending amino group and prevents the decomposition of Hetacillin. Once hydrolyzed to ampicillin (and acetone), ampicillin binds to the penicillin binding proteins found in susceptible bacteria. This inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins.
