Phenoxymethylpenicillin
Penicillin V, stable in stomach acid and therefore suitable to be taken by mouth: first obtained in 1948 in the United States without its value being understood, it was rediscovered and developed in 1951 in Kundl, in the Tyrol, by the biologist Ernst Brandl. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.
Did you know?Brandl obtained it almost by chance, by adding a disinfectant, phenoxyethanol, to the fermentation tanks to fight contamination; the 'V' reportedly stands for vertraulich, German for 'confidential'.
