Preferred Label : Oxacillin Sodium Anhydrous;
NCIt definition : The anhydrous form of the sodium salt of oxacillin, a semisynthetic penicillinase-resistant
and acid-stable penicillin with antibacterial activity. Oxacillin 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.;
