| DrugBank ID: | DB00626 |
| DrugBank Description: | Bacitracin is a combination of at least 9 bacitracins.[A955,A181952] 60-80% of commercially prepared bacitracin is bacitracin A.[A181952] The bacillus that produces bacitracin was first isolated from a knee scrape in 1945 from the knee wound of a child named Margaret Tracy.[A181952] Bacitracin was granted FDA approval on 29 July 1948.[A181997,L7748] |

| DrugBank Targets: | C55-isoprenyl pyrophosphate; Insulin-degrading enzyme; Alpha-2-macroglobulin |
| DrugBank MoA: | Bacitracin binds to a divalent metal ion such as Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), or Zn(II).[A954] These complexes bind C<sub>55</sub>-isoprenyl pyrophosphate, preventing the hydrolysis of a lipid dolichol pyrophosphate, which prevents N-glycosylation of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, which finally inhibits cell wall synthesis.[A954] Bacitracin metal complexes also bind and oxidatively cleave DNA.[A954] |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | Bacitracin is a mixture of polypeptides that prevent the formation of the bacterial cell wall and oxidatively cleave DNA.[A954] It has a short duration of action as it must be given every 3 to 4 hours topically.[L7769,L7772] Bacitracin is nephrotoxic when given intramuscularly and may lead to renal failure.[A181997] |
| DrugBank Indication: | Bacitracin is indicated in topical formulations for acute and chronic localized skin infections.[A181997] Occasionally, it is also used intramuscularly for infantile streptococcal pneumonia and empyema.[A181997] Bacitracin is also formulated as an ointment with neomycin and polymyxin B for over the counter use.[A181997,L7769] A bacitracin ointment formulated with neomycin and polymyxin B along with hydrocortisone is indicated for the treatment of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses with secondary infection.[L7772] |
