Description: Ertapenem (L-749345; Invanoz; MK-0826; Invanz) is a 1-β-methyl carbapenem antibiotic marketed by Merck as Invanz. Ertapenem is a long-acting, broad-spectrum antibiotic of β-lactam subclass. Ertapenem has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity including common aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and organisms with extended-spectrum β-lactamases. Ertapenem is an inhibitor of bacteria cell-wall synthesis, it acts by binding to penicillin binding proteins located on the bacterial cell wall, in particular PBPs 2 and 3, thereby inhibiting the final transpeptidation step in the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. Inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis results in weakening and lysis of the cell wall and cell death. Erapenem is resistant to hydrolysis by a variety of beta-lactamases, including penicillinases, cephalosporinases and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases.

ProtocolIn VitroErtapenem (0-100 μg/mL approximately, 48 h) is active against 99.1% of all anaerobes with a mode MIC of 0.12 μg/mL and MIC90 of 1 μg/mL, and MIC’s ≥8 μg/mL for B.fragilis and B.vulgatus species, respectively.
In VivoErtapenem (Subcutaneous injection, 0-10 mg/kg, 0-120 h after infection, S. aureus thigh tissue infection model) shows > 3 log10 CFU reduction of organism at 10 mg/kg, and maintains the activity with 3.3 and 4.4 log10 CFU eliminated at 2 mg/kg.

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in µL DMSO(Master liquid concentration mg/mL) ,Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take µL DMSO master liquid, next add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
