Description

Ritipenem is a cationic peptide antibiotic with an antimicrobial spectrum similar to that of the penem group. It binds to the cytoplasmic membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, forming ion channels and leading to an increase in membrane permeability and cell death. Ritipenem has been shown to inhibit protein interactions, ligand binding and receptor activation by other agonists, as well as having affinity for a wide range of peptides. The purity of this compound is high, with no detectable traces of contaminants such as endotoxins or proteases. Ritipenem also has been shown to have antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacteria.
