Mechanism of Action of Medicillin 48 Benzathine Penicillin Injection
Benzathine Penicillin, the active ingredient in Medicillin 48, functions by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on the bacterial cell membrane, disrupting the cross-linking of peptidoglycan layers in the cell wall. This disruption leads to cell lysis and death, effectively eliminating susceptible bacteria.
