Interaction of Staphylococcal Penicillinase and 6-[D(—)-α-Guanidino-Phenylacetamido]-Penicillanic Acid

Abstract

6[d(—)-α-Guanidinophenylacetamido]-penicillanic acid was shown to be significantly hydrolyzed by only one of six preparations of staphylococcal penicillinase. This penicillin analogue is a stronger penicillinase inactivator than are nafcillin and methicillin, which were not significantly hydrolyzed by the enzyme.
