Amoxicillin is a semi-synthetic penicillin antibiotic. It’s not taken straight from a natural product as amoxicillin itself. It’s built from the penicillin nucleus 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). In industry, Penicillium fungi are used to produce penicillin (G/V) and then the side chain is chemically modified to attach an amino-containing, para‑hydroxyphenyl side chain, giving amoxicillin. In short: it’s derived from 6-APA, via chemical modification of a penicillin nucleus.
