The Uses of Imipenem
Imipenem has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial action, which includes most clinically
significant microorganisms: Gram-positive, Gram-negative, aerobic, and anaerobic. It is
resistant with respect to most beta-lactamases of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is used for bacterial infections of the lower respiratory tract, infections of the urinary
and sexual tracts, infections of bones, joints, skin, soft tissues, intraabdominal and gynecological infections, bacterial septicemia, and endocarditis.
Imipenem undergoes enzymatic inactivation in the kidneys. In order to avoid this problem,
it is used in a 1:1 ratio in combination with cilastatin—the sodium salt of [R-[R,S-(Z)]]-7-[(2-
amino-2-carboxyethyl)thio]-2-[[(2,2-dimethylcyclopropyl)aminocarbonyl-2-heptenoic acid
(32.1.3.6), which inhibits metabolisms of imipenem in the kidneys. This combination of two
compounds is also used in medicine under the name primaxin.

Definition
ChEBI: Imipenem hydrate is a member of carbapenems. It contains an imipenem.
General Description
Chemical structure: ?-lactam
Biochem/physiol Actions
Imipenem is found effective against gram positive and negative aerobes and anaerobes. Imipenem is often combined with cilastatin, to inhibit its metabolism in kidney.
Synthesis
Imipenem, [5R-[5|á,6|á(R)]]-6-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3-[[2-[(iminomethyl)amino] ethyl]thio]-7-oxo-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-2-carboxylic acid (32.1.3.1), is the only carbapenem presently used in clinics. It is synthesized from thienamycin isolated from Streptomyces cattleya by reacting it with the methyl formimidate.
Unlike penicillins and cephalosporins, which have a side aminoacyl group joined to the betalactam ring, imipenem has a |á-hydroxyethyl side chain. Significant resistance to hydrolysis by beta-lactamases is observed in this compound, evidently thanks to the trans-configuration of the side chain, while the side chain of penicillins and cephalosporins have a cis configuration.
