フェノキシメチルペニシリンカリウム

効能

抗生物質, 細胞壁合成阻害薬

化学的特性

Crystalline Solid

使用

Penicillin antibacterial.

主な応用

Phenoxymethylpenicillin potassium was first obtained at Lilly Research Laboratories in 1948, following the addition of phenoxyacetic acid to a culture of Penicillium chrysogenum. Its industrial-scale production was established in 1953. Its usefulness as an orally active penicillin was suggested by Spitzy et al. in 1955. It is less hygroscopic and much more stable against gastric acid than benzylpenicillin, and it has been used orally for therapy of infections caused by Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and other gram-positive bacteria as well as Neisseria and Leptospira.

一般的な説明

Odorless white crystalline powder. Slightly bitter taste. pH (0.5% aqueous solution) 5 to 7.5.

空気と水の反応

Water soluble.

反応プロフィール

Penicillin V potassium salt is the potassium salt of penicillin v. Penicillin V potassium salt is incompatible with acids, oxidizing agents (especially in the presence of trace metals), heavy metal ions such as copper, lead, zinc and mercury; glycerol, sympathomimetic amines, thiomersal, wood alcohols, cetostearyl alcohol, hard paraffins, macrogols, cocoa butter and many ionic an nonionic surface-active agents. Penicillin V potassium salt is also incompatible with alkalis, compounds leached from vulcanized rubber, hydrochlorides of tetracyclines and organic peroxides. Other incompatibilities include reducing agents, alcohols, other hydroxy compounds, self-emulsifying stearyl alcohol, emulsifying wax, lanolin, crude cholinesterated bases, glycol, sugars, amines, aminacrine hydrochloride, ephedrine, procaine, rubber tubing, thiamine hydrochloride, zinc oxide, oxidized cellulose, iodine, iodides, thiols, chlorocresol and resorcinol. Penicillin V potassium salt may also be incompatible with naphthalene oils and vitamin B.

火災危険

Flash point data for Penicillin V potassium salt are not available; however, Penicillin V potassium salt is probably combustible.

安全性プロファイル

Moderately toxic by ingestion, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, and intravenous routes. Human mutation data reported. Questionable carcinogen with no experimental evidence. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx, K2O, and SOx. Used
