• Beschreibung: Penicillin V potassium salt is a penicillin antibiotic that has been used to treat infections caused by bacteria, such as streptococcal throat infections. It is a prodrug of penicillin G and has the same mechanism of action. Penicillin V potassium salt binds to penicillin-binding proteins in the bacterial cell wall by competitive inhibition. This binding prevents the formation of an antibiotic-inhibitor complex with the enzyme cell wall synthesis that is required for cell wall biosynthesis, inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division. Penicillin V potassium salt is often used as an alternative to oral cephalosporins due to its lower incidence of gastrointestinal side effects.
