Class C beta-lactamases from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and several species of the Enterobacteriaceae have been observed to undergo a rapid burst in hydrolysis of beta-lactam antibiotics before relaxation to a steady-state rate of hydrolysis. The amplitude of the burst corresponds to the hydrolysis of between 1 and 10,000 mol of the substrate per mol of enzyme. The decay of the rate of hydrolysis in the burst phase comprises two exponential reactions, which indicates that there are three different reactive states of the enzymes. Examination of the kinetics of acylation by slowly reacting beta-lactams suggests that there are three forms of the free enzyme in slow equilibrium. Thus it would appear that the burst kinetics exhibited by class C enzymes can be attributed to redistribution of the enzyme between different conformations induced by the reaction with substrate.

Semisynthetic beta-lactam antibiotics are among the most used pharmaceuticals. Their use in veterinary and human medicine is in continuous expansion. There is a growing need for developing bioactive implants. Advantages of implantable drug delivery tools can include high release efficiency, precise dose control, low toxicity, and allow to overcome disadvantages connected with conventional methods. In this respect, hydroxyapatite (HA) is an elective material. It enables to produce architectures similar to those of real bones. Here we studied a kinetic model to describe ampicillin release from HA. In the course of adsorption experiment, ampicillin was dissolved, maintained at and shaken at 60 strokes/minute. Samples were withdrawn periodically for analysis and then returned to the mixture. Adsorbed amounts were measured by the difference of the concentration of the antibiotics before and after adsorption using UV adsorption at 225 nm. The aim of this work was to evaluate its application as ampicillin delivery carrier.
