Faropenem

Catalog No. T38458   CAS 106560-14-9

Faropenem, a highly efficacious and orally bioavailable beta-lactam antibiotic, exhibits an extensive range of in vitro antimicrobial activity against diverse gram-positive and -negative aerobes and anaerobes. Notably, Faropenem possesses inherent resistance to hydrolysis by virtually all beta-lactamases, including extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and AmpC beta-lactamases. Moreover, Faropenem has been developed as an oral prodrug, namely faropenem medoxomil, for the investigation of respiratory tract infections.

Description Faropenem, a highly efficacious and orally bioavailable beta-lactam antibiotic, exhibits an extensive range of in vitro antimicrobial activity against diverse gram-positive and -negative aerobes and anaerobes. Notably, Faropenem possesses inherent resistance to hydrolysis by virtually all beta-lactamases, including extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and AmpC beta-lactamases. Moreover, Faropenem has been developed as an oral prodrug, namely faropenem medoxomil, for the investigation of respiratory tract infections.
In vitro Faropenem is ineffective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia[1]. However, it effectively inhibits all isolates of B. anthracis, with MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) values ranging from ≤0.06 to >64 μg/liter and an MIC90 (the concentration at which 90% of isolates are inhibited) of 0.5 μg/ml. This MIC90 value for Faropenem is notably lower than those for other β-lactams, such as Meropenem (4 μg/ml), Amoxicillin-clavulanate (4 μg/ml), and Penicillin (8 μg/ml), demonstrating its superior efficacy against B. anthracis[2].
In vivo Faropenem, administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) at 24 hours post-challenge in 4-, 6-, and 12-hour intervals at dosages of 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg/day for 14 days, demonstrates significant efficacy against B. anthracis in the murine post-exposure prophylaxis inhalation model[1].

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the

  • Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
See Example

An example of a molarity calculation using the molarity calculator
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 10 ml of water given that the molecular weight of the compound is 197.13 g/mol?
Enter 197.13 into the Molecular Weight (MW) box
Enter 10 into the Concentration box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 10 into the Volume box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 19.713 mg appears in the Mass box

Calculate the dilution required to prepare a stock solution
The dilution calculator is a useful tool which allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentration. Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1.

See Example

An example of a dilution calculation using the Tocris dilution calculator
What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 20ml of a 50 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=50 μM, V2=20 ml and V1 is the unknown:
Enter 10 into the Concentration (start) box and select the correct unit (millimolar)
Enter 50 into the Concentration (final) box and select the correct unit (micromolar)
Enter 20 into the Volume (final) box and select the correct unit (milliliter)
Press calculate
The answer of 100 microliter (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (start) box

Definitions of molecular mass, molecular weight, molar mass and molar weight:
Molecular mass (molecular weight) is the mass of one molecule of a substance and is expressed n the unified atomic mass units (u). (1 u is equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12)
Molar mass (molar weight) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is expressed in g/mol.
