ProtocolIn VitroMeropenem is intrinsically stable to dehydropeptidase-1 (DHP-1) degradation and Meropenem acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to and inactivating penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Meropenem possesses broad-spectrum in vitro activity, which includes activity against many Gram-positive, Gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria; Meropenem lacks activity against Enterococcus faecium, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
In VivoMeropenem (60 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; once; SD rats) treatment significantly reduces the incidence of pancreatic infection.
Animal modelMale Sprague-Dawley rats (250-350 g) induced acute necrotizing pancreatitis

Calculation Results:
Working concentration: mg/ml;
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.
