CAS 96036-03-2: Meropenem
Description:Meropenem is a broad-spectrum, beta-lactam antibiotic belonging to the carbapenem class, primarily used to treat severe bacterial infections. It exhibits a wide range of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including many strains resistant to other antibiotics. Meropenem works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. It is typically administered intravenously due to its instability in acidic environments, which limits oral bioavailability. The compound is characterized by its high resistance to hydrolysis by most beta-lactamases, making it effective against a variety of resistant pathogens. Meropenem is often used in hospital settings for infections such as meningitis, pneumonia, and intra-abdominal infections. Its pharmacokinetics include rapid distribution in body tissues and fluids, with renal excretion being the primary route of elimination. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, and potential allergic reactions. Overall, meropenem is a critical agent in the arsenal against multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.
