  2. Penicillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penicillin

    Penicillin G (benzylpenicillin) was first produced from a penicillium fungus that occurs in nature. The strain of fungus used today for the manufacture of penicillin G was created by genetic engineering to improve the yield in the manufacturing process. None of the other natural penicillins (F, K, N, X, O, U1 or U6) are currently in clinical use.

  3. Production of antibiotics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_of_antibiotics

    Production of antibiotics is a naturally occurring event, that thanks to advances in science can now be replicated and improved upon in laboratory settings. Due to the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming, and the efforts of Florey and Chain in 1938, large-scale, pharmaceutical production of antibiotics has been made possible.

  4. History of penicillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_penicillin

    Glass phial of British Standard penicillin. The history of penicillin follows observations and discoveries of evidence of antibiotic activity of the mould Penicillium that led to the development of penicillins that became the first widely used antibiotics. Following the production of a relatively pure compound in 1942, penicillin was the first ...

  5. 6-APA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-APA

    The major commercial source of 6-APA is still natural penicillin G. The semi-synthetic penicillins derived from 6-APA are also referred to as penicillins and are considered part of the penicillin family of antibiotics. [1] In 1958, Beecham scientists from Brockham Park, Surrey, found a way to obtain 6-APA from penicillin. [2]

  6. Isopenicillin N synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopenicillin_N_synthase

    Pathway of penicillin and cephalosporin biosynthesis, illustrating the role of isopenicillin N synthase in the formation of beta-lactam antibiotics Following the IPNS pathway, further enzymes are responsible for the epimerization of isopenicillin N to penicillin N, the derivitazation to other penicillins, and the ring expansion that eventually ...

  7. Drug discovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_discovery

    In the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and pharmacology, drug discovery is the process by which new candidate medications are discovered. [1]Historically, drugs were discovered by identifying the active ingredient from traditional remedies or by serendipitous discovery, as with penicillin.

  8. Discovery of penicillin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_of_penicillin

    The secretary of the Nobel committee, Göran Liljestrand, made an assessment of Fleming and Florey in the same year, but little was known about penicillin in Sweden at the time, and he concluded that more information was required. The following year, there was one nomination for Fleming alone and one for Fleming, Florey and Chain.

  9. Norman Heatley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Heatley

    Alexander Fleming had first discovered penicillin by accident in 1928, but at that time believed it had little application. When Florey and his team recognised the potential of the discovery for combating bacterial infection, they faced the problem of how to manufacture penicillin in sufficient quantities to be of use. Heatley, although the ...
