Bioactivity Faropenem is a potent and orally active beta-lactam antibiotic. Faropenem demonstrates broad-spectrum in vitro antimicrobial activity against many gram-positive and -negative aerobes and anaerobes. Faropenem is resistant to hydrolysis by nearly all beta-lactamases, including extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and AmpC beta-lactamases. Faropenem is developed as an oral prodrug, faropenem medoxomil, for the research of respiratory tract infections[1][2].
Invitro Faropenem is not active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Stenotrophomonas maltophilia[1].Faropenem is against all isolates of B. anthracis. The MIC values ranged from ≤0.06 to >64 μg/liter, and the MIC90 value is 0.5 μg/ml. The MIC90 value for Faropenem is lower than that observed for other β-lactams, such as Meropenem, Amoxicillin-clavulanate, and Penicillin, for which the MIC90 values are 4 μg/ml, 4 μg/ml, and 8 μg/ml, respectively[2].
