'''Benzylpenicillin''', commonly known as '''penicillin G''', is the ] type of ]. 'G' in the name 'Penicillin G' refers to 'Gold Standard'. Penicillin G is typically given by a ] (not orally) because it is unstable in the ] of the stomach. Because the drug is given parenterally, higher tissue concentrations of penicillin G can be achieved than is possible with ]. These higher concentrations translate to increased antibacterial activity.

Rarely central nervous system toxicity including convulsions (especially with high doses or in severe renal impairment), interstitial nephritis, haemolytic anaemia, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, and coagulation disorders. Also reported diarrhoea (including antibiotic-associated colitis). Benzylpenicillin has relatively low toxicity, except for in the nervous system, in which it is one of the most active drugs among β-lactam agents.<ref name="Castle_2007"/> In addition, benzylpenicillin is a potential skin irritant and may cause breathing difficulties if inhaled.<ref name="ACS_MW">{{cite web | title = Benzylpenicillin | url = https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/molecule-of-the-week/archive/b/benzylpenicillin.html | access-date = 9 November 2022 | work = Molecule of the Week | publisher = American Chemical Society }}</ref>

==Manufacture==

Benzylpenicillin is produced by fermentation of '']''.<ref name="ACS_MW"/> The production of benzylpenicillin involves fermentation, recovery and purification of the penicillin.<ref name="Liu_2016">{{cite journal | vauthors = Liu Q, Li Y, Li W, Liang X, Zhang C, Liu H |date=February 2016 |title=Efficient Recovery of Penicillin G by a Hydrophobic Ionic Liquid |journal=ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering |volume=4 |issue=2 |pages=609–615 |doi=10.1021/acssuschemeng.5b00975 }}</ref>

]
The fermentation process of the production of benzylpenicillin creates the product. The presence of the product in solution inhibits the reaction and reduces the product rate and yield. Thus, in order to obtain the most product and increase the rate of reaction, it is continuously extracted.<ref>{{cite web | vauthors = Barros J | date = 4 January 2016 | url = https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/cutting-edge-chemistry/use-extraction-to-improve-penicillin-g-recovery.html | title = Use Extraction to Improve Penicillin G Recovery | work = Discover Chemistry | publisher = American Chemical Society | access-date = 2019-05-06 | archive-date = 6 May 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190506191624/https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/cutting-edge-chemistry/use-extraction-to-improve-penicillin-g-recovery.html | url-status = dead }}</ref> This is done by mixing the mold with either glucose, sucrose, lactose, starch, or dextrin, nitrate, ammonium salt, corn steep liquor, peptone, meat or yeast extract, and small amounts of inorganic salts.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.diaion.com/en/application/pharmaceutical/pdf/antibiotics_fermentation_products_small_molecules_apis.pdf | pages = 312–324 |title= Separation and Purification of Pharmaceuticals and Antibiotics | publisher = Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation }}</ref>
]

]
The recovery of the benzylpenicillin is the most important part of the production process because it affects the later purification steps if done incorrectly.<ref name="Liu_2016" /> There are several techniques used to recover benzylpenicillin: aqueous two-phase extraction, liquid membrane extraction, microfiltration, and solvent extraction.<ref name="Liu_2016" />
]

]
In the purification step, the benzylpenicillin is separated from the extraction solution. This is normally done by using a separation column.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Saino Y, Kobayashi F, Inoue M, Mitsuhashi S | title = Purification and properties of inducible penicillin beta-lactamase isolated from Pseudomonas maltophilia | journal = Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy | volume = 22 | issue = 4 | pages = 564–570 | date = October 1982 | pmid = 6983856 | pmc = 183794 | doi = 10.1128/AAC.22.4.564 }}</ref>
