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.

Expert review of anti-infective therapy, 16(7), 513-522 (2018-07-18)
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.

Tebipenem pivoxil (TBPM-PI) is an oral carbapenem antibiotic for treating otolaryngologic and respiratory infections in pediatric patients. This agent is a prodrug to improve intestinal absorption of TBPM, an active form, and an absorption rate of TBPM-PI is higher than
Aileen Rubio et al.
ACS infectious diseases, 4(10), 1436-1438 (2018-08-18)
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
