Piperacillin is a penicillin beta-lactam antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible, usually gram-positive, organisms. The name "penicillin" can either refer to several variants of penicillin available, or to the group of antibiotics derived from the penicillins. Piperacillin has in vitro activity against gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The bactericidal activity of Piperacillin results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis and is mediated through Piperacillin binding to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs). Piperacillin is stable against hydrolysis by a variety of beta-lactamases, including penicillinases, and cephalosporinases and extended spectrum beta-lactamases.
- Mechanism of action
By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, Piperacillin inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that Piperacillin interferes with an autolysin inhibitor.
Target Actions Organism APenicillin-binding protein 3 inhibitorStreptococcus pneumoniae APenicillin-binding protein 2B inhibitorStreptococcus pneumoniae (strain ATCC BAA-255 / R6) APenicillin-binding protein 2a inhibitorStreptococcus pneumoniae (strain ATCC BAA-255 / R6) APenicillin-binding protein 1b inhibitorStreptococcus pneumoniae (strain ATCC BAA-255 / R6) - Absorption
Not absorbed following oral administration.
- Volume of distribution
- 101 mL/kg [intravenous administration of 50 mg/kg (5-minute infusion) in neonates]
- Protein binding
Not Available
- Metabolism
Largely not metabolized.
- Route of elimination
As with other penicillins, PIPRACIL is eliminated primarily by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; it is excreted rapidly as unchanged drug in high concentrations in the urine. Because PIPRACIL is excreted by the biliary route as well as by the renal route, it can be used safely in appropriate dosage in patients with severely restricted kidney function.
- Half-life
36-72 minutes
- Clearance
- 32 - 41 mL/min/1.73 m2
- 124 - 160 mL/min/1.73 m2 [older pediatric patients]
