Penicillin V

ATC Code J01CE02

Penicillin V

Definition

A member of the penicillin family exhibiting broad-spectrum antibiotic property. Penicillin V 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.

Also known as PENICILLIN V, Phenoxymethylpenicillin, V-Cillin — per NCIT
