Biochem/physiol Actions

Tebipenem pivoxil (L-084I; ME1211; SPR994; Tebi-pivoxil; TBM-PI) corresponds to the orally bioavailable pivalyl ester prodrug form of the carbapenem class broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic Tebipenem (LJC 11,036; SPR859; TBM). TBM is potent against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae (PRSP) and many β-lactamase-producing strains, while being less effective against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), S. marcescens, and P. aeruginosa. TBM is 2- to 64-fold more potent than imipenem, cefdinir, and faropenem against clinical isolates from respiratory and urinary-tract infections.

An animal model of otitis media using chinchillas was developed to evaluate the efficacy of tebipenem pivoxil (TBM-PI) against experimental otitis media. Chinchillas inoculated via the transbullar approach with Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 6 were included in the efficacy study with

Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens, particularly Gram-negative bacteria, have become increasingly challenging to successfully treat. The beta-lactam antibiotic subclass, the carbapenems, have proven valuable for the treatment of such Gram-negative bacterial infections due to their spectrum and β-lactamase stability properties.

Carbapenems are potent antibacterials with broad-spectrum activity. However, poor oral absorption generally confines this important drug class to in-hospital use by intravenous (IV) administration. The continued rise in drug resistant pathogens creates a need for alternative oral therapies with broad-spectrum

To systemically investigate the in vitro and in vivo antibacterial properties of tebipenem pivoxil tablet. In addition, acute toxicity of this preparation was also studied. In vitro, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) or minimal inhibitory concentration (MBC) were determined by using

We discovered an orally active carbapenem, L-084, through pharmacokinetic studies on various prodrug esters of (1R,5S,6S)-6-[(R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-l-methyl-2-[1-(1,3-thiazolin-2-yl)azetidin-3-yl]thio-1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid (LJC11,036). L-084 showed a strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and exhibited the highest intestinal absorption among synthesized prodrugs of LJC11,036.
