318 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Uses:
➢ Mafenide acetate is a topical antibiotic used to treat wound infections.
➢ It is used topically as an adjunctive therapy for second- and third-degree burns.
➢ It works by destroying microorganisms that could cause an infection in an open wound.
Killing of bacteria cause wound healing and reduces the possibility of the bacteria
spreading to neighboring skin or blood, reducing the danger of a major blood infection
(sepsis).
➢ It is bacteriostatic against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria; comprises
Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Mafenide acetate is specifically effective against Clostridium
welchii in topical application and was used during World War II.
➢ Mafenide is more appropriate for non-facial burns, while chloramphenicol/prednisolone
or bacitracins are more appropriate for facial burns.
Dosage Forms: Mafenide acetate for 5% topical solution mafenide acetate is not effective orally.
Cream should be applied to the burned area at all times.
Storage: Store solution at 20°C to 25°C with excursions permitted to 15°C to 30°C at controlled
room temperature.

12.1 INTRODUCTION

The term antibiotics are derived from the Greek word antibiosis, which means “against life”
(anti-against, bios-life). Antibiotics are chemical substances obtained from various species of
microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes) that suppress the growth of other
microorganisms and eventually may destroy them. Antibiotics are substances that inhibit the
growth and multiplication of bacteria or kill them completely. These are the antimicrobials that
are used to treat bacterial infections in (or on) the human body.
The major points of difference between the antibiotics are physical, chemical,
pharmacological properties, antibacterial spectra, and mechanism of action. They have made it
possible to cure diseases caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and meningitis, and
they save the lives of millions of people around the world.
The antimicrobial spectrum of an antibiotic consists of a range of microorganisms it can kill
or inhibit. Based on their spectrum of activity, antibiotics are classified as broad-spectrum
antibiotics, extended-spectrum antibiotics, or narrow-spectrum antibiotics.
324 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
➢ Broad-spectrum antibiotics: Antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacteria
or that acts on the two major bacterial groups, gram-positie and gram-negative are called
broad-spectrum antibiotics.
➢ Narrow-spectrum antibiotics: Antibiotics that kill just gram-positive or gram-negative
bacteria or could be specific to one type of bacteria. These are only effective against a
narrow range of bacteria. For example, Penicillin G is very effective at killing gram-
positive bacteria, but not very effective against gram-negative bacteria.
Classification of Antibiotics Based on Chemical Structure
1. β-lactam antibiotics: Penicillin, Cephalosporin, Monobactams, etc.
2. Tetracycline antibiotics: Oxytetracycline, Doxycycline, etc.
3. Aminoglycoside antibiotics: Stretomycin, Gentamycin, Neomycin, etc.
4. Macrolide antibiotics: Erythromycin, Clarithromycin, Azithromycin, etc.
5. Polypeptide antibiotics: Polymyxin B
6. Quinolones: Nalidixic acid, Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, etc.
7. Nitrobenzene derivatives: Chloramphenicol
8. Other antibiotics: Clindamycin, Novobiocin, etc.
Penicillins are a group of antibiotics obtained from Penicillium moulds, principally
P. chrysogenum. Penicillin may be divided into two classes: the naturally occurring penicillins
(obtained naturally by mould) and the semi-synthetic penicillins (those in which the structure of a
chemical substance—6-aminopenicillanic acid) found in all penicillins.
Classification of Penicillin
➢ Natural Penicillins: Penicillin G, Penicillin V.
➢ Semi-synthetic Penicillinase/Resistant Penicillins: Methicillin, Nafcillin, Isoxazolyl
Penicillins (Cloxacillin/Dicloxacillin/Oxacillin/Flucloxacillin).
➢ Amino Penicillins: Ampicillin, Amoxicillin.
➢ Carboxy penicillins: Carbencillin, Carbencillin phenyl, Carbencillin indanyl, Ticarcillin.
➢ Ureidopenicillins: Piperacillin, Mezlocillin, Azlocillin.
Antibiotics 325

12.1.1 Penicillin G (Benzyl Penicillin)

Penicillin G or benzyl penicillin is a naturally occurring beta-lactam antibiotic. It is produced
by fermentation of Penicillium chrysogenum. The structure of benzyl penicillin contains a
6-aminopenicillanic acid as a penicillin nucleus that further consists of a β-lactam ring and
thiazolidine ring and benzyl side chain moiety. Penicillin G is metabolized to penicilloic acid
which is microbiologically inactive.
IUPAC Name: (2S,5R,6R)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-[(2-phenylacetyl)amino]-4-thia-1-azabicyclo
[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid
Properties: It occurs as white or colorless, odorless crystalline, amorphous powder. It is
practically insoluble in water; soluble in peanut oil; freely soluble in methanol, benzene,
chloroform, and amyl acetate; sparingly soluble in water; insoluble in petroleum ether; soluble
in methanol, ethanol, ether, ethyl acetate, benzene, chloroform and acetone.
Mechanism of Action: Penicillin G acts by binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs)
located inside the bacterial cell wall, inhibits the bacterial cell wall synthesis, cell lysis causes by
bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins.
Uses:
➢ Penicillin is used for the treatment of bacterial infections, for treating pneumonia, strep
throat, staph infection, diphtheria, meningitis, gonorrhea (sexually-transmitted disease
(STD), and syphilis.
➢ It is used in neuro syphilis, congenital syphilis (presence of clinical signs in the neonate
and lack of adequate treatment in the mother), brain abscesses and pasteurellosis.
➢ It is used in gingivostomatitis, pulmonary infections, and genital disease produced by
synergistic action of fusobacterium nucleatum.
➢ It is used to prevent heart valve infection before dental procedures for people with certain
cardiac conditions.
➢ Penicillin G is effective against infections caused by some forms of Streptococcus
pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylcoccus, Clostridium bacteria, and many
others.
Dosage Forms:
➢ Diphtheria: Child: 50000 IU (30 mg)/kg every 6 hours (maximum 4 MIU or 2.4 g daily).
Adult: 1 MIU (600 mg) every 6 hours.
326 Text Book of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
➢ Neuro syphilis: Adult: 2 to 4 MIU (1.2 to 2.4 g) by IV injection every 4 hours.
➢ Congenital syphilis: 50000 IU (30 mg)/kg by IV injection every 12 hours from D1 to
D7, then 50000 IU (30 mg)/kg by IV injection every 8 hours from D8 to D10.
Storage: Penicillin G potassium or penicillin G sodium powders for injection may be stored at
room temp less than 15°C. It is moderately hygroscopic and dry powders of the drugs should be
protected from moisture to prevent hydrolysis.
Officials:
➢ Benzylpenicillin Potassium, I.P.
➢ Benzylpenicillin Injection, I.P.
➢ Benzylpenicillin Sodium, I.P.
