| Application: | Penicillin G is a narrow spectrum antibiotic derived from Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is the drug of choice for groups A, B, C and G streptococci, nonenterococcal group D streptococci, viridians group streptococci, and non-penicillinase producing staphylococcus. The potassium salt has been used to study murosomes of staphylococci† and the penicillin-induced lysis of Streptococcus mutans†. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Mode of Action: Penicillin G acts by inhibiting cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting peptidoglycan chain cross-linking. Antimicrobial spectrum: This product is active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. |
| Disclaimer: | Solutions should be filter sterilized and stored at 2-8°C for 1 week or at -20°C for more lengthy periods. Solutions are stable at 37°C for 3 days. |
| Other Notes: | Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Handle and store under inert gas. Keep in a dry place.Very soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol (96%), practically insoluble in methylene chloride |
