Product Description
Meropenem trihydrate is an ultra-broad spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Meropenem trihydrate (MRP) belongs to the carbapenem group of compounds. It is susceptible to degradation at high temperature and humidity. It is soluble in methanol-water or acetone-water combinations. It is used as an antibacterial agent for treating meningitis and pneumonia.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as thienamycins. These are beta-lactam antibiotics that differ from penicillins in having the thiazolidine sulfur atom replaced by carbon, the sulfur then becoming the first atom in the side chain.
