The active metabolite of penicillin is penicilloic acid, which is formed when penicillin is hydrolyzed. This metabolite retains some antibacterial activity but is generally less effective than the parent compound. Penicillin itself works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. Overall, while penicilloic acid is a product of penicillin breakdown, it is not primarily responsible for the therapeutic effects of the drug.

What is inactive metabolite?
An inactive metabolite is a metabolite (a product of metabolism) that does not have pharmacological activity or any physiological effect on the body. These metabolites are often formed as the body processes and eliminates drugs or other substances.
What are the advantages of multi enzyme complexes?
metabolite channeling
Is claritan processed through the liver or kidneys?
Claritin (loratadine) is primarily metabolized in the liver, where it is converted into its active metabolite. After metabolism, the metabolites are excreted mainly through the kidneys. Therefore, while the liver processes Claritin, the kidneys play a role in eliminating it from the body.
What are the values of pencilin to the fungi?
Penicillin is a type of antibiotic that is effective against certain fungal infections by disrupting the fungal cell wall synthesis and growth. It is particularly useful for treating fungal infections caused by certain species of Candida and Aspergillus. Penicillin, however, is not effective against all types of fungi, and the choice of antifungal medication should be based on the specific fungal species causing the infection.
How do you metabolize methadome?
Methadone is metabolized in the liver through various pathways, primarily via cytochrome P450 enzymes. It undergoes N-demethylation to produce an active metabolite, 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP), which is further metabolized to inactive compounds. The metabolites are then excreted mainly through the kidneys.
What is the active metabolite of Demerol?
normeperidine
Can Nordiazepam show up in urine test as a metabolite from taking Librium?
Yes. Desmethyldiazepam (same thing as nordiazepam) is an active metabolite of Librium.
Who discovered penicllin?
Pencilin was discovered by Alexander flemming
Who invented pencilin injection?
Alexander Fleming in invented penicillin
Is cefopodoxime a pro drug?
cefpodoxime proxetil is a prodrug that is de-esterified in the GI tract. It becomes cefpodoxime free acid which is the active metabolite.
Who is credited with inventing pencilin?
Penicillin discovery by Alexander Fleming in 1928
Defferent esmprasozole and oprazole?
Yes, esomeprazole and omeprazole are different drugs. Esomeprazole is an active metabolite of "omeprazole" and is more active at the same dose. Both acts on "proton pump", reducing stomach acidity.
What is metabolic analog?
Structurally modified metabolite that prevents the action of the normal metabolite
Is penicillin a primary or secondary metabolite?
no penicillin is a secondary metabolite,because secondary metabolite are compounds that use to kill other bacteria eg enzymes , antibiotics.etc
How long does it take for Valium to rid the body?
diazepam up to 400 hours... the active metabolite (nordazepam) up to 720 hours... its an extremly long acting drug
Who devolped an antiobodic which fights infection in the body?
First Antibiotic was discovered by Alexander Flemming.It was pencilin.
What is inactive metabolite?
An inactive metabolite is a metabolite (a product of metabolism) that does not have pharmacological activity or any physiological effect on the body. These metabolites are often formed as the body processes and eliminates drugs or other substances.
