Penicillin V potassium Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

To a cooled and stirred solution of 2.76 g (12.5 mmol) of 6-APA in 60 mL of water containing 5.25 g (62.5 mmol) of sodium bicarbonate, a solution of 2.76 g (16.2 mmol) phenoxyacetyl chloride in 5 mL of acetone was added in one minute. The resulting mixture was stirred vigorously during 20 min while the temperature was kept at 10-15 °C. The clear solution was extracted twice with 15 mL portions of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). The clear aqueous solution was cooled to 5-10 °C and acidified to pH 2 with a cold 5.0 mol/L sulfuric acid solution. The acidified aqueous solution was extracted with 50 mL MIBK twice. The MIBK extract was separated, washed with cold water, and dried for 10 min over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, 10 mL of a 25percent solution of potassium 2-ethylhexanoate in butanol was added. The white crystalline material was collected by filtration, washed on the filter with dry acetone and dried in vacuum, yield 3.5 g (80percent) penicillin V as a white solid. Mp: 210-211 °C (dec.).

Drug Function and Efficacy

This product is a penicillin antibiotic. The antibacterial spectrum is the same as penicillin. It has antibacterial activity against most Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative cocci, individual Gram-negative bacilli (such as Haemophilus), spirochetes and actinomycetes, but most Staphylococcus strains (90%) including Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococci can produce beta-lactamase to hydrolyze and inactivate this product. The activity of this product against most sensitive strains is 2 to 5 times weaker than that of penicillin. It has no antibacterial effect on strains that produce penicillinase. The mechanism of action of this product is to inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, causing the bacteria to rupture and dissolve rapidly.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
