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 Cyclacillin has been replaced by newer penicillin treatments.
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.
BeschreibungCiclacillin was synthesized by Wyeth Laboratories in 1967 in the course of studies on the improvement of oral absorption of ampicillin. Although its antibacterial activity is one-sixteenth to one-half that of ampicillin, it shows a four to tenfold higher oral absorption and higher urinary excretion. Ciclacillin shows less tendency than ampicillin to cause diarrhea and is used for therapy of pyoderma, wound infection, respiratory and urinary tract infections, as well as ear and nose, and other infections caused by Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Proteus, and Haemophilus influenzae.
