A metallo-β-lactamase enzyme for internal detoxification of the antibiotic thienamycin [PDF]
Thienamycin, the first representative of carbapenem antibiotics was discovered in the mid-1970s from soil microorganism, Streptomyces cattleya, during the race to discover inhibitors of bacterial peptidoglycan synthesis. Chemically modified into imipenem

An enantioselective formal synthesis of thienamycin. [PDF]
Thienamycin is a carbapenem antibiotic with potent activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Due to its promising activity but lack of chemical stability, thienamycin serves as inspiration for new synthetic antibiotic scaffolds. In this study, we report a nine-step enantioselective formal synthesis of thienamycin. Our route utilizes an

In Vitro Activity of Thienamycin [PDF]
The in vitro activity of thienamycin was tested against 135 aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. The compound was highly active against resistant gram-negative bacilli and penicillin-resistant Straphylococcus aureus . The antianaerobic spectrum of the drug seemed to be comparable to that of metronidazole.

In vitro activity of N-formimidoyl thienamycin (MK0787), a crystalline derivative of thienamycin [PDF]
N-Formimidoyl thienamycin (MK0787) is a derivative of thienamycin, a unique, new beta-lactam antibiotic. Its activity against 285 aerobic and facultatively anaerobic clinical isolates was compared with the activities of cephalothin, ampicillin, penicillin G, ticarcillin, and tobramycin.

Dual RNase and β-lactamase Activity of a Single Enzyme Encoded in Archaea
β-lactam antibiotics have a well-known activity which disturbs the bacterial cell wall biosynthesis and may be cleaved by β-lactamases. However, these drugs are not active on archaea microorganisms, which are naturally resistant because of the lack of β ...

Synthese einer chiralen Thienamycin-Vorstufe / Synthesis of a Chiral Thienamycine Intermediate [PDF]
Abstract A key intermediate of Kametani’s total synthesis of racemic thienamycine has now been prepared in chiral form via a 1.3-dipolar cycloadduct of a chiral nitrone and benzyl crotonate.

N-formimidoyl thienamycin (MK0787): in vitro study [PDF]
N-Formimidoyl thienamycin (MK0787) was compared in vitro with three other beta-lactam and two aminoglycoside antibiotics. It was second in activity only to cefotaxime against members of the Enterobacteriaceae and to amikacin against Pseudomonas species. It was the most active antibiotic against Staphylococcus aureus.

Antibacterial activities of a new stabilized thienamycin, N-formimidoyl thienamycin, in comparison with other antibiotics [PDF]
The in vitro activity of a new crystalline derivative of thienamycin, N-formimidoyl thienamycin (MK0787), was tested against 46 laboratory reference strains and 2,158 clinical isolates of gram-positive and -negative bacteria, including anaerobes, and compared with cefoxitin, cefaxolin, carbenicillin, and amikacin.
