Ertapenem is a parenteral carbapenem. It has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. It is highly resistant to inactivation by a wide variety of beta-lactamases.
LYS228 is a potent antibiotics against Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (MIC90 = 2 uM mL). LYS228 is potent in the presence of all classes of beta-lactamases.
Razupenem ( SMP-601, PTZ601) is a broad-spectrum injectable antibiotic derived from the carbapenem subgroup of β-lactam antibiotics. It has been developed as an alternative drug against bacteria that have developed antibiotic resistance to commonly used a
N-3-oxo-pentanoyl-L-Homoserine lactone is a chain-shortened derivative of the bacterial quorum sensing signaling molecule N-3-oxo-octanoyl-L-homoserine lactone .1It inhibits binding of the autoinducer N-3-oxo-hexanoyl homoserine lactone toE. colicontaining the transcription factor LuxR when used at a concentration of 230 nM.2It acts as an autoinducer to activate theV. fischeriluminescence system inE. coliwhen used at concentrations ranging from 20 to 200 nM. 1.Chhabra, S.R., Stead, P., Bainton, N.J., et al.Autoregulation of carbapenem biosynthesis in Erwinia carotovora by analogues of N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactoneJ.

Acetyl-L-homoserine lactone belongs to the family of N-acylated homoserine lactones (HSLs) and has an acyl chain length of two carbons. HSLs perform a role in quorum sensing; however, unlike other HSLs, acetyl-L-homoserine lactone does not elicit a response in bacteria. In an assay of carbapenem antibiotic biosynthesis, acetyl-L-homoserine lactone does not induce a response in E. carotovora. In a fluorescence assay using E. coli containing a reporter plasmid of GFP expression in response to exogenous HSLs, acetyl-L-homoserine does not elicit GFP production.
TP0586352 is a potent inhibitor of LpxC, exhibiting efficacy against carbapenem-resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae without inducing cardiovascular risks.
