Penicillins

Classification Narrow spectrum penicillins Antistaphylococcal penicillins

Extended –spectrum penicillins .

Page 3: Inhibitors of cell wall synthesis (β- Lactam Antibiotics ) 1. PENICILLINS 2.Cephalosporins 3.Carbapenems ( Imipenem ) 4. Monobactams ( Aztreonam)

Mechanism of action

Like all β-lactam antibiotics , inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell wall .

They are bactericidal on the actively growing bacteria.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption Depending on acid stability Absorption of most oral penicillins is

impaired by food except amoxicillin .
