Benzylpenicillin potassium

White powderChEBI: Organic potassium salt of benzylpenicillin.
Benzylpenicillin potassiumwas the first crystalline penicillin produced on an industrial scale , . It is produced in the pure state by the addition of phenylacetate to a culture of Penicillium chrysogenum. The crystalline benzylpenicillin potassium contains 1598 U/mg.
Penicillin G potassium salt is also known as Potassium benzylpenicillin, it is white crystalline powder, odorless or slightly specific odor, hygroscopic. Soluble in water, physiological saline, glucose solution. The aqueous solution of it is easy to fail when placed at room temperature, and it will fail rapidly in the presence of acid, alkali, oxidant, etc. Penicillin G potassium salt has good antibacterial effect on Streptococcus such as Streptococcus hemolyticus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus without penicillinase.
ChEBI: Penicillin G potassium salt is organic potassium salt of benzylpenicillin. It is an antibiotic substance produced by Penicillium sp. Antibacterial. It contains a benzylpenicillin(1-).
Penicillin G Potassium is the potassium salt form of penicillin G, a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic. Penicillin G potassium binds to penicillin binding proteins (PBP), the enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of peptidoglycan, which is a critical component of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to the interruption of cell wall synthesis, consequently leading to bacterial cell growth inhibition and cell lysis.
