Tebipenem pivoxil
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Tebipenem pivoxil (L084 hydrobromide) is an orally active carbapenem Antibiotic. Tebipenem pivoxil acts as a substrate of OATP1A2 with high affinity for this transporter (Km = 41.1 μM). Tebipenem pivoxil achieves intestinal absorption via carrier-mediated uptake and simple diffusion. Tebipenem pivoxil inhibits the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, multidrug-resistant bacteria, and pathogens producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases. Tebipenem pivoxil eliminates intestinal infection pathogens and reduces mortality in septic mice. Tebipenem pivoxil 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) 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 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) 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].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Tebipenem pivoxil (50 mg/kg; p.o.; two doses at 2 and 16 hours post-infection) 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) clears faecal S. flexneri within 24 hours and significantly reduces diarrhoea severity and intestinal pathology in infected gnotobiotic piglets[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.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 5 mg/mL (10.05 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
