PENICI­LLINS

MOA
Bind to transp­ept­idases and block cross-­linking of peptid­oglycan residues resulting in weak cell walls and bacterial lysis in bacteria that are actively growing
PK
Excreted really
Penetr­ation into the eye, prostate, and CNS is poor,
Absorption impaired by food-take 1-2 hrs before or after meal to prevent protein binding, acid inactivation
AE
Hypers­ens­iti­vity, anaphy­laxis, super infect­ions, diarrhea, convul­sions (high dose, renal failure, epileptic pts) , hematolgic toxici­ties, nephritis, cation toxicity

PENICI­LLINS

More active against gram-n­egative organisms (i.e., Neisseria) than penicillin V.
PENICILLIN V
More resistant to acid
Penicillin G procaine and Penicillin G benzathine (i.m.) - formulated to delay absorp­tion, resulting in prolonged blood and tissue concen­tra­tions.
