mk826

Ertapenem sodium (MK-826) is a new long-acting 1-β-methyl carbapenem antibiotic with a broad antibacterial spectrum including common aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and organisms with extended-spectrum β-lactamases.

MK-8262, an orally active and potent cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor (IC 50 = 53 nM, log D = 5.3), is a bistrifluoromethyl analogue that shows promise in research related to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) with potential implications for coronary heart disease (CHD).
