Penicillin G Benzathine Definition
The long-acting benzathine salt form of penicillin G, a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic. Penicillin G benzathine binds to penicillin binding proteins (PBP), the enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a critical component of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to the interruption of cell wall synthesis, consequently leading to bacterial cell growth inhibition and cell lysis.
