NCIt synonyms : Phenoxymethylpenicillin; Penicillin V Base;
NCIt 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.;
