Penicillins and Cephalosporins

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 63))

Abstract

The penicillins and cephalosporins, collectively known as beta-lactam antibiotics, are among the most widely used and valuable antibiotics currently available. Benzylpenicillin (penicillin G) and Phenoxymethylpenicillin (penicillin V) are derived from Penicillium molds by fermentation, while half-synthetic penicillins are derived by chemical modification of the penicillin nucleus, 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA), itself obtained either by splitting the side chain from benzylpenicillin through an enzymatic process or via a chemical deacylation reaction.
