penicillin G benzathine

Source:http://linkedlifedata.com/resource/umls/id/C0030829

NCI: The long-acting benzathine salt form of penicillin G, a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic. Penicillin G benzathine binds to penicillin binding proteins (PBP), the enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of peptidoglycan, 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.,MSH: Semisynthetic antibiotic prepared by combining the sodium salt of penicillin G with N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine.
