Penicillin V

C₁₆H₁₈N₂O₅S·350.390 g/mol·Pharmaceutical·CID 6869
DrugAntibioticHistorical

An oral penicillin antibiotic. Contains the β-lactam ring that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Alexander Fleming's 1928 discovery of penicillin launched the antibiotic era and won the 1945 Nobel Prize.

IUPAC: (2S,5R,6R)-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-[(2-phenoxyacetyl)amino]-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid

Also known as: Phenoxymethylpenicillin, 87-08-1, Oracillin, Vebecillin, Penicillin phenoxymethyl (+14 more)
