Preferred Label : Fenbenicillin;
NCIt definition : A semisynthetic phenoxy penicillin with antibacterial activity. Fenbenicillin binds
to and inactivates penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane
of the bacterial cell wall. Inactivation of PBPs interferes with the cross-linkage
of peptidoglycan chains necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity. This
interrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis and results in the weakening of the bacterial
cell wall, eventually causing cell lysis.;
