Abstract: Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor used in therapeutic combinations with the penicillin-type antibiotics. During the fermentation leading to clavulanic acid, a succinyl L-tyrosine by-product is unavoidably formed. Occasionally, the amount of this by-product is found to be as high as 2% of the product even after standard purification operations. To further remove this impurity, we prepared a highly specific adsorbent for succinyl L-tyrosine with the molecular imprinting technique. This was performed by simultaneously using vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride and methacrylic acid as the functional monomers. The imprinted polymer selectively bound succinyl L-tyrosine, and could be successfully used to remove this impurity at concentrations of less than 2% in the presence of clavulanic acid.
