Abstract
Penicillin combines with human serum albumin, as demonstrated by dialysis experiments. Unlike the sulfonamfide-albumin complex, the penicillin-albumin possesses antibiotic activity. Such a complex can be freed of unbound penicillin by repeated precipitation at 50 per cent. alcohol and obtained as a dried powder. Mouse excretion studies indicated that the penicillin-albumin complex was excreted more slowly than the sodium salt of penicillin.Entities:
