Abstract
LJC 10,627 is a new parenteral carbapenem antibiotic. LJC 10,627 stability against human renal dehydropeptidase-I was compared with that of imipenem. Hydrolysis of this compound was not detectable by spectrophotometrical assay. Even after a 2-h incubation of antibiotics with this enzyme at 30 degrees C, the concentration of LJC 10,627 remained at 92.3% of the initial concentration, whereas imipenem completely disappeared. Thus, it was found that this compound was highly stable against human renal dehydropeptidase-I. Furthermore, LJC 10,627 had a low affinity for this enzyme, as indicated by the high Ki value (0.38 mM).
