Biological Activity

Description Imipenem acts as an inhibitor of AmpC β-lactamase and is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of a number of bacterial infections.
Targets
AmpC β-lactamase [1]
In vitro
In vitro Imipenem, a β-lactam antibiotic, binds to penicillin binding protein 2 with the highest affinity and produces rounded cells. The binding of imipenem causes cells to lyse quickly and thereby to release less free endotoxin[1].
In Vivo
In vivo Imipenem has a very short half-life[1]. Imipenem has antimycobacterial activity both in a mouse model and in humans at high risk for failure of treatment for MDR (multiple-drug-resistant) tuberculosis[2].
Animal Research Animal Models BALB/c mice
Dosages 50, 75, and 100 mg/kg

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 addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
