Overview
Meropenem/Vaborbactam is a bioactive peptide with well-characterized properties and therapeutic applications.
Structure
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Meropenem/Vaborbactam |
| Sequence | Combination: meropenem (carbapenem beta-lactam) + vaborbactam (cyclic boronate beta-lactamase inhibitor) |
| Length | Small molecule combination |
| Molecular Weight | 384 Da (meropenem) + 297 Da (vaborbactam) |
| Category | Anti-Infective / Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor Combination |
Mechanism of Action
Vaborbactam inhibits KPC and other Class A/C serine beta-lactamases, protecting meropenem from hydrolysis; meropenem then inhibits PBP-mediated cell wall synthesis
