  • Description

    Bacitracin in the ointment formulation primarily acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to the lipid II component, preventing the formation of peptidoglycan cross-links, which weakens the cell wall and leads to bacterial cell lysis. Lignocaine, a local anesthetic, is included to provide pain relief by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby preventing the generation and conduction of nerve impulses responsible for pain signals. Polymyxin B, a cationic polypeptide antibiotic, disrupts the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane by interacting with its phospholipids, leading to cell death. This combination ensures a synergistic effect, with Bacitracin targeting cell wall synthesis, Lignocaine managing pain, and Polymyxin B enhancing the overall antibacterial activity by disrupting the bacterial membrane.
