Tomopenem is a 1-beta-methylcarbapenem antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Tomopenem has a longer half-life than imipenem-cilastatin or meropenem and shows activity against methicillin-resistant S. aureus. Tomopenem is a 1-beta-methylcarbapenem antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Tomopenem Read More ….>
Tebipenem Pivoxil is an orally available pivaloyloxymethyl ester prodrug of tebipenem, a broad-spectrum 1-beta-methylcarbapenem antibiotic with a 1-(1,3-thiazolin-2-yl) azetidin-3-ylthio group at the C-2 position. After oral administration of tebipenem pivoxil, the ester bond is cleaved, releasing active tebipenem. Tebipenem (brand name Orapenem) is a broad-spectrum orally-administered antibiotic, Read More ….>
Panipenem is a broad-spectrum parenteral carbapenem with activity against aerobic, anaerobic, gram-positive, and gram-negative organisms including non-fermenters. Panipenem is often co-administered with betamipron to prevent nephrotoxicity. Panipenem/betamipron is a carbapenem antibiotic marketed by Daiichi Sankyo Co. of Japan. It was launched in 1993,[rx] under the brand name Carbenin.[rx] It Read More ….>
Lenapenem is a broad-spectrum, carbapenem antibiotic with bactericidal activity. Lenapenem binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the bacterial cell wall, thereby inhibiting the final transpeptidation step in the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. This inhibition Read More ….>
Imipenem is a semisynthetic thienamycin that has a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including many multiresistant strains. It is stable to many beta-lactamases. Similar compounds include meropenem, known for having greater activity against Read More ….>
Ertapenem is a 1-beta-methyl carbapenem and broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic with the bactericidal property. Ertapenem binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the bacterial cell wall, in particular PBPs 2 and 3, thereby inhibiting the final transpeptidation step in the synthesis of peptidoglycan, Read More ….>
Doripenem is a broad-spectrum, carbapenem antibiotic with bactericidal and beta-lactamase resistant activities. Doripenem binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the bacterial cell wall, particularly PBPs 2 and 3, thereby inhibiting the final transpeptidation step in the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an essential Read More ….>
Biapenem is a 1-beta-methylcarbapenem antibiotic with a wide range of antibacterial activity. Biapenem has a similar antibacterial activity to that of imipenem but is more stable against human renal dehydropeptidase-I and with less neurotoxicity. Biapenem is a carbapenem antibiotic in Read More ….>
Carbapenem is an organic heterobicyclic compound that consists of (5R)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene bearing a 7-keto substituent. The parent of the class of carbapenems. A group of beta-lactam antibiotics in which the sulfur atom in the thiazolidine ring of the penicillin molecule is Read More ….>
Meropenem is a carbapenem antibiotic with a broad spectrum of activity that is administered intravenously and used for severe bacterial infections due to sensitive agents. Meropenem is a common cause of mild transient aminotransferase elevations and can rarely result in Read More ….>
