Abstract excerpt
The biochemical properties of tetrahydrofuranyl (THF) carbapenems, carbapenems with THF substituents, were evaluated with respect to enzyme stability, binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), and penetration into gram-negative organisms. THF carbapenems showed increased stability to hog renal dehydropeptidases (DHPs) compared to that of imipenem or meropenem and were more stable to human DHP than imipenem...
