Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide
Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide (L084 hydrobromide) is an orally active carbapenem Antibiotic. Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide acts as a substrate of OATP1A2 with high affinity for this transporter (Km = 41.1 μM). Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide achieves intestinal absorption via carrier-mediated uptake and simple diffusion. Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, multidrug-resistant bacteria, and pathogens producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases. Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide eliminates intestinal infection pathogens and reduces mortality in septic mice. Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide can be used in research related to bacterial pneumonia, severe gastrointestinal infections, bacterial sepsis, complicated urinary tract infections, and acute pyelonephritis.

Biological Activity
Tebipenem pivoxil (2.5-1000 μM; 60 min) hydrobromide is a substrate for human OATP1A2 which has high affinity (Km = 41.1 μM), while human OATP2B1 has low affinity for the compound (Km > 1 mM)[1].
Tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide displays excellent in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacterial strains including MSSA, MSSE, and Pyogenic streptococcus (MIC90 ≤0.125 µg/mL), with moderate activity against MRSA (MIC90 16 µg/mL), MRSE (MIC90 8 µg/mL), and Enterococcus faecalis (MIC90 32 µg/mL), and weaker activity against Enterococcus faecium (MIC90 128 µg/mL)[3].
Tebipenem pivoxil (18-24 h) hydrobromide displays strong bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, with MBC ranges of 0.016-2 µg/mL, 0.063-32 µg/mL, and 0.031-32 µg/mL respectively, and MBC/MIC ratios of 1-8 for Escherichia coli and 2-8 for Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae[3].

Tebipenem pivoxil (50 mg/kg; p.o.; two doses at 2 and 16 hours post-infection) hydrobromide delivers a 2.3-log reduction in S. flexneri CFUs in the small intestine of infected B6 mice, showing superior efficacy compared to subcutaneous Tebipenem freebase[2].
Tebipenem pivoxil (50 mg/kg; p.o.; twice daily; 5 days, starting 18 hours post-infection) hydrobromide clears faecal S. flexneri within 24 hours and significantly reduces diarrhoea severity and intestinal pathology in infected gnotobiotic piglets[2].

Animal Model:B6 (female, 9-10 weeks old, intraperitoneal infection with S. flexneri lux1)[2]
-
Dosage:50 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; two doses at 2 and 16 hours post-infection
-
Result:Achieved a 2.3-log reduction of S. flexneri CFUs in the small intestine compared to untreated controls.
Achieved a comparable 2.3-log reduction of S. flexneri CFUs in the large intestine compared to untreated controls.
Resulted in a significantly lower bacterial load in the small intestine than in mice treated with 39 mg/kg subcutaneous Tebipenem freebase (p < 0.05).
-
Animal Model:Gnotobiotic piglets (24 hours old, oral inoculation with S. flexneri 2457T)[2]
-
Dosage:50 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; twice daily; 5 days, starting 18 hours post-infection
-
Result:Significantly reduced the severity of diarrhoea compared to untreated infected controls.
Reduced faecal S. flexneri CFU/g from 1 × 107 to undetectable levels within 24 hours after a single dose, while untreated animals maintained high bacterial counts.
Markedly reduced intestinal lesions, inflammation, and intracellular Shigella in treated piglets compared to controls.
