ペニシリンVカリウム
**ペニシリンVカリウム**は、天然の狭域スペクトル**β-ラクタム系抗生物質**です。ペニシリンGと比較して胃酸に対する耐性が高く、単胃動物における経口投与での吸収に優れています。
作用機序: Penicillin V is a **time-dependent, bactericidal** antibiotic. It works by targeting the bacterial cell wall: 1. Binds to specific **penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs)** (such as **transpeptidases** and **carboxypeptidases**) located inside the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. 2. Inhibits the third and final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis by preventing the cross-linking of **peptidoglycan** strands. 3. This leads to a defective, osmotically unstable cell wall (spheroplast) → **cell lysis** and death. *Note: Like all beta-lactams, it is only effective against actively growing and dividing bacteria.*

投与経路
禁忌
- Known hypersensitivity to penicillins
- Oral administration in patients with septicemia, shock, or grave illness (due to delayed/diminished GI absorption)
- Use in sensitive species (snakes, birds, turtles, guinea pigs, chinchillas) without extreme caution
有害事象
- GI effects (anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea)
- Hypersensitivity reactions (rashes, fever, eosinophilia, anaphylaxis)
- Antibiotic-associated diarrhea and superinfections (due to altered gut flora)
- Neurotoxicity (e.g., ataxia in dogs) at very high doses
- Elevated liver enzymes
- Tachypnea, dyspnea, edema, and tachycardia (reported in dogs)
薬物相互作用
- Aminoglycosides · In vitro synergism against certain bacteria; however, mixing them in the same syringe or fluid line can cause physical inactivation of the aminoglycoside.
- Bacteriostatic Antibiotics (e.g., chloramphenicol, erythromycin, tetracyclines) · May antagonize the bactericidal activity of penicillins, which require actively dividing bacteria to be effective.
- Methotrexate · Penicillins may decrease the renal elimination of methotrexate, potentially increasing its toxicity.
- Probenecid · Competitively blocks the renal tubular secretion of penicillins, significantly increasing their serum levels and half-lives.
モニタリング
- Clinical efficacy (resolution of infection signs)
- Adverse GI effects
- Signs of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction
過量投与
Acute oral overdoses are unlikely to cause significant problems other than **gastrointestinal distress** (vomiting, diarrhea). In humans, massive overdoses of parenteral penicillins (especially in patients with renal impairment) have induced **CNS effects** and seizures. Treatment is supportive.
