Product description :
Soluble in water. Dextrorotatory. Inactivated by penicillinase as is penicillin G, but differs from the common peni-cillin by its antibacterial activity and hydrophilic character. When an aq soln is kept at pH 2.7 and 37° for 2 hrs, there is a loss of antibacterial activity and an increase in dextrorotation. Active against Sarcina lutea, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhimurium, Diplococcus pneumoniae. Shows practically no activity against B. subtilis and Staph. aureus. The toxicity is somewhat less than that of penicillin G, although penicillin N is excreted more slowly.
