Preferred Label : Phenyracillin;
NCIt definition : The 2,5-diphenylpiperazine salt of benzylpenicillin with antibacterial activity. Phenyracillin
binds to and inactivates the penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) located inside 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.;
