The most important biological effect of penicillin, unrelated to hypersensitivity or to "toxic" reaction, is alteration of bacterial flora in areas of the body to which it gains access. Regardless of the route by which the drug is administered, but most strikingly when it is given by mouth, penicillin changes the composition of the microflora by eliminating sensitive microorganisms. ... In some persons ... suprainfection results from the changes in flora. /Penicillin/

Absorption
Upon oral administration, phenoxymethylpenicillin is rapidly but incompletely absorbed. The bioavailability of phenoxymethylpenicillin ranges from 25 to 60%. Compared to the free acid form of the drug, the calcium or potassium salts of phenoxymethylpenicillin displays better absorption profiles. It is reported that fasting state enhances the drug absorption. The peak plasma concentrations of 200 to 700 ng/mL are achieved in 2 hours following an oral dose of 125 mg. Following an oral dose of 500 mg, the peak plasma concentrations of 3 to 5 g/mL are reached in 30 to 60 minutes post-dose.
Route of Elimination
While the drug is rapidly excreted, only 25% of the total dose is detected in the urine. Renal excretion may be delayed in neonates, young infants, and patients with renal impairment.
Volume of Distribution
Following intravenous administration, the volume of distribution at steady state was 35.4 L. Small amounts of the drug can be found in various tissues, with the highest amount found in the kidneys, with lesser amounts in the liver, skin, and intes tines. Phenoxymethylpenicillin was found in the cerebrospinal fluid. Phenoxymethylpenicillin was detectable in the placenta and human breast milk.
A dose of 1,000,000 units of the acid gives peak plasma levels of about 2 to 3 ug/ml ...

Approx 60-73% of an oral dose of penicillin V or penicillin V potassium is absorbed from the GI tract in healthy, fasting adults. Following oral administration of a single dose of penicillin V or penicillin V potassium in fasting children or adults, peak serum concn of penicillin V are generally attained within 30-60 min. Peak serum penicillin V concn are attained sooner and are slightly higher following administration of the potassium salt than the free acid.
McEvoy, G.K. (ed.). American Hospital Formulary Service - Drug Information 95. Bethesda, MD: American Society of Hospital Pharmacists, Inc., 1995 (Plus Supplements 1995)., p. 254
Following oral administration of a single 125-mg tablet of penicillin V potassium in healthy, fasting adults in one study, serum penicillin V concn averaged 1.2, 1.2, 0.5, and 0.1 ug/ml @ 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, and 4 hr, respectively, after the dose. Oral administration of a single 250-mg tablet of the drug in healthy, fasting adults results in serum penicillin V concn averaging 2.1-2.8, 2.3-2.7, 0.8-0.9, and 0.1-0.2 ug/ml @ 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, and 4 hr, respectively, after the dose. Following oral administration of a single 500-mg tablet of penicillin V potassium in healthy, fasting adults, serum penicillin V concn average 4.7-5, 4.9-6.3, 2.3-3, and 0.04-0.1 ug/ml @ 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, and 6 hr, respectively, after the dose.

Variable results have been obtained in studies evaluating the effect of food on GI absorption of penicillin V and penicillin V potassium. In most studies, presence of food in the GI tract resulted in lower and delayed peak serum concn of penicillin V, although the total amt of drug absorbed was unaffected. However, results of several studies in children 2 mo to 5 yr of age indicate that both the peak serum concn and the area under the serum concn-time curve (AUC) are decreased when penicillin V potassium is administered with or immediately prior to milk or food.

About 35-70% of an oral dose is metabolized to penicilloic acid, an inactive metabolite. Small amounts of 6-aminopenicillanic acid have been recovered in the urine of patients on penicillin G. A small percentage of the drug appears to be hydroxylated into one or more active metabolites, which are also excreted via urine.
Approximately 35-70% of an oral dose of penicillin V or penicillin V potassium is metabolized to penicilloic acid which is microbiologically inactive. Small amt of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) have also been found in urine of patients receiving penicillin V. In addition, the drug appears to be hydroxylated to a small extent to one or more microbiologically active metabolites which are also excreted in urine.

Upon oral administration, the half-life is about 30 minutes. It can last up to 4 hours in patients with renal impairment.
The serum half-life of penicillin V in adults with normal renal function is reportedly 0.5 hr.

Phenoxymethylpenicillin inhibits the biosynthesis of cell wall mucopeptide by binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, which are critical in the cell wall synthesis and maintenance, as well as cell division. This disrupts the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. This subsequently leads to cell lysis.
Penicillins and breakdown products of penicillins act as haptens after their covalent reaction with proteins. The most important antigenic intermediate of penicillin appears to be the penicilloyl moiety, which is formed when the beta-lactam ring is opened. This is considered to be the major (predominant) determinant of penicillin allergy. /Penicillins/
Gilman, A. G., L. S. Goodman, and A. Gilman. (eds.). Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 6th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc. 1980., p. 1148
Penicillin is known to interfere with synthesis of N-acetylmuramic acid mucopeptides and teichoic acids which are part of cell-wall material. ... Under favorable conditions penicillin exerts direct bactericidal action, & successful penicillin therapy may be relatively independent of immunity mechanisms of the host. /Penicillins/
Osol, A. (ed.). Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. 16th ed. Easton, Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Co., 1980., p. 1135
The penicillins and their metabolites are potent immunogens because of their ability to combine with proteins and act as haptens for acute antibody-mediated reactions. The most frequent (about 95 percent) or "major" determinant of penicillin allergy is the penicilloyl determinant produced by opening the beta-lactam ring of the penicillin. This allows linkage of the penicillin to protein at the amide group. "Minor" determinants (less frequent) are the other metabolites formed, including native penicillin and penicilloic acids. /Penicillins/
Haddad, L.M., Clinical Management of Poisoning and Drug Overdose. 2nd ed. Philadelphia, PA: W.B. Saunders Co., 1990., p. 953
Bactericidal; inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis. Action is dependent on the ability of penicillins to reach and bind penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the inner membrane of the bacterial cell wall. Penicillin-binding proteins (which include transpeptidases, carboxypeptidases, and endopeptidases) are enzymes that are involved in the terminal stages of assembling the bacterial cell wall and in reshaping the cell wall during growth and division. Penicillins bind to, and inactivate, penicillin-binding proteins, resulting in the weakening of the bacterial cell wall and lysis. /Penicillins/
