Introduction

Penicillin V is a narrow-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis and is stable to gastric acid, enabling oral administration. It is used as a reference compound in studies of β-lactam binding, hydrolysis kinetics, and resistance mechanisms. Its metabolic stability supports investigations in pharmacokinetics and oral bioavailability. Penicillin V is also applied in quality-control testing for β-lactam formulations.
