nafcillin

Solid
Nafcillin is a penicillin in which the substituent at position 6 of the penam ring is a (2-ethoxy-1-naphthoyl)amino group. It has a role as an antibacterial drug. It is a penicillin and a penicillin allergen. It is a conjugate acid of a nafcillin(1-).|A semi-synthetic antibiotic related to penicillin, Naficillin is a narrow-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic drug. It is a beta-lactamase-resistant penicillin that is indicated for the treatment of Staphylococcal infections caused by strains that are resistant to other penicillins, except those caused by MRSA. It may be used as a first-line therapy in Methicillin-Sensitive *Staphylococcus aureus* infections.|Nafcillin is a Penicillin-class Antibacterial.|Nafcillin is a parenteral, second generation penicillinase-resistant penicillin antibiotic used largely to treat moderate to severe staphylococcal infections. Nafcillin has been linked to rare occurrences of clinically apparent, idiosyncratic liver injury.|Nafcillin is a semi-synthetic naphthalene and beta-lactam antibiotic with antibacterial activity. Nafcillin inhibits bacterial wall synthesis by a mechanism of action similar to penicillin. Penicillinase-resistant Nafcillin is used to treat infections caused by penicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococci. (NCI04)|A semi-synthetic antibiotic related to penicillin.
