DrugBank Description: | A cyclohexylamido analog of penicillanic acid. |
CAS Number: | 3485-14-1 |
Molecular Weight: | 341.426 |
DrugBank Indication: | For the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. |
DrugBank Pharmacology: | Cyclacillin, a penicillin, is a cyclohexylamido analog of penicillanic acid. Cyclacillin is more resistant to beta-lactamase hydrolysis than ampicillin, is much better absorbed when given by mouth and, as a result, the levels reached in the blood and in the urine are considerably higher than those obtained with the same dose of ampicillin. Cyclacillin has been replaced by newer penicillin treatments. |
DrugBank MoA: | The bactericidal activity of cyclacillin results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Cyclacillin is stable in the presence of a variety of b-lactamases, including penicillinases and some cephalosporinases. |
Targets: | Penicillin-binding protein 1A inhibitor; Penicillin-binding protein 3 inhibitor; Penicillin binding protein 2a inhibitor; Penicillin-binding protein inhibitor |
Inclusion Criteria: | Indication associated |
