CAS 74431-23-5: Imipenem monohydrate
Description:Imipenem monohydrate is a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic belonging to the carbapenem class, primarily used to treat serious bacterial infections. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis, making it effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics. The monohydrate form indicates that each molecule of imipenem is associated with one molecule of water, which can influence its solubility and stability. Imipenem is typically administered in combination with cilastatin, a renal dehydropeptidase inhibitor, to prevent its rapid degradation in the kidneys. The compound is usually presented as a white to off-white crystalline powder, and it is soluble in water, which facilitates its intravenous administration. Due to its broad-spectrum activity, imipenem is often reserved for severe infections or cases where other antibiotics are ineffective, making it a critical option in the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. However, its use must be carefully monitored to prevent the development of resistance.
