Imipenem

Common Name

Imipenem Description

Semisynthetic thienamycin that has a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including many mlitiresistant strains. It is stable to beta-lactamases. Clinical studies have demonstrated high efficacy in the treatment of infections of various body systems. Its effectiveness is enhanced when it is administered in combination with cilastatin, a renal dipeptidase inhibitor. [PubChem] Structure

ZSKVGTPCRGIANV-ZXFLCMHBSA-N Chemical Taxonomy Description

This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as thienamycins. These are beta-lactam antibiotics that differ from penicillins in having the thiazolidine slifur atom replaced by carbon, the slifur then becoming the first atom in the side chain. Kingdom
