Also known as Natacillin, Versapen, Hetacin, BRL-804, BL-P-804, Phenazacillin, (2S,5R,6R)-6-[(4R)-2,2-Dimethyl-5-oxo-4-phenylimidazolidin-1-yl]-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 6beta-[(4R)-2,2-Dimethyl-5-oxo-4-phenylimidazolidin-1-yl]penicillanic acid

Hetacillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that is part of the aminopenicillin family. It is a prodrug and has no antibacterial activity itself, but quickly splits off acetone in the human body to form ampicillin, which is active against a variety of bacteria. __TOC__
