説明
Penicillin was the first natural antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections and continues to be one of the most important antibiotics.The name comes from the fungus genus Penicillium from which it was isolated. Penicillus is Latin for brush and refers to the brushlike appearance of filamentous Penicillium species.Species of this genus are quite common and appear as the bluish-green mold that appears on aged bread, fruit, and cheese. The term penicillin is a generic term that refers to a number of antibiotic compounds with the same basic structure. Therefore it is more appropriate to speak of penicillins than of penicillin.
The general penicillin structure consists of a β-lactam ring and thiazolidine ring fused together with a peptide bonded to a variable R group. Penicillin belongs to a group of compounds called β-lactam antibiotics. This in turn inhibits the formation of peptidoglycan cross-links in bacteria cell walls.
来歴
The discovery of penicillin is generally credited to Alexander Fleming (1881 1955) in 1928, but the development of penicillin as an antibiotic took place sporadically over the last decades of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. Mass production of penicillin by U.S.firms started in 1943,and it was used immediately to treat wounded soldiers. Penicillin reduced suff ering, prevented amputations,cured pneumonia,and saved thousands of lives during the war and was hailed as a miracle drug. The United States increased production throughout the war years and after the war widespread civilian use commenced. Fleming, Florey,and Chain shared the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1945 for their work on penicillin.
使用
Antibacterial.
適応症
Benzylpenicillin or penicillin G has a narrow antimicrobial spectrum. It is active with
respect to Gram-positive bacteria (staphylococcus, streptococcus, and pneumococci),
causative agent of diphtheria, and anthrax bacillus. Gram-negative bacteria are resistant to
it. Benzylpenicillin is broken down by stomach acid and destroyed by staphylococcus
penicillinase.
獲得抵抗性
Staph. aureus was originally highly susceptible to benzylpenicillin,
but at least 85–90% of clinical isolates are now
β-lactamase-producing strains. Most clinical isolates of coagulase-
negative staphylococci are also resistant. β-Lactamaseproducing
strains of E. faecalis produce an enzyme identical to
staphylococcal penicillinases, but these strains are increasingly
uncommon. The emergence of penicillin-resistant staphylococci,
enterococci and pneumococci, due to the acquisition
of mosaic PBPs with decreased binding affinity for penicillin,
has been described worldwide. Most strains of penicillin-
resistant Gram-positive clinical isolates also demonstrate
reduced susceptibility to other β-lactam agents but, in rare
cases, cross-resistance is not seen for all cephalosporins.
Strains of N. gonorrhoeae for which the MIC of benzylpenicillin
increased from 0.06 mg/L to >2 mg/L appeared in the
1970s, as the result of the production of modified PBPs with
reduced affinity for β-lactam antibiotics; fully resistant strains
producing TEM-1 β-lactamase also emerged. Currently penicillin
resistance occurs in more than 60% of isolates in some
parts of the world.
接触アレルゲン
Benzyl penicillin is actually used only intravenously. It
was formerly a frequent cause of contact allergy in
health care workers. Facial contact dermatitis was
recently reported in a nurse.
臨床応用
For years, the most popular penicillin has been penicillin G,or benzylpenicillin. In fact, with the exception of patients allergicto it, penicillin G remains the agent of choice for thetreatment of more different kinds of bacterial infection thanany other antibiotic. It was first made available as the watersolublesalts of potassium, sodium, and calcium. These saltsof penicillin are inactivated by the gastric juice and are noteffective when administered orally unless antacids, such ascalcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, and magnesiumtrisilicate; or a strong buffer, such as sodium citrate, isadded. Also, because penicillin is absorbed poorly from the intestinal tract, oral doses must be very large, about fivetimes the amount necessary with parenteral administration.Only after the production of penicillin had increased enoughto make low-priced penicillin available did the oral dosageforms become popular. The water-soluble potassium andsodium salts are used orally and parenterally to achieve highplasma concentrations of penicillin G rapidly. The morewater-soluble potassium salt usually is preferred when largedoses are required. Situations in which hyperkalemia is adanger, however, as in renal failure, require use of thesodium salt; the potassium salt is preferred for patients onsalt-free diets or with congestive heart conditions.
