Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Relebactam, also known as MK-7655, is a non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor that primarily targets class A (including KPC) and class C (AmpC) β-lactamases, thereby restoring the activity of β-lactam antibiotics such as imipenem. In combination with imipenem-cilastatin (marketed as Recarbrio), relebactam has shown potent in vitro activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogens, particularly carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data indicate that imipenem-relebactam reduces MIC values significantly compared to imipenem alone; for instance, the MIC₉₀ against P. aeruginosa is often ≤4 µg/mL versus >16 µg/mL for imipenem alone.

More Info
Biological target:
Relebactam is a β-lactamase inhibitor that inhibits hydrolysis of nitrocefin by KPC-2 β-lactamase from K. pneumoniae and AmpC β-lactamase from P. aeruginosa (IC50s = 210 and 465 nM, respectively). Relebactam restores imipenem-susceptibility in imipenem-resistant K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa when used at concentrations of 12.5 and 4.7 μM, respectively. Relebactam also restores imipenem sensitivity to resistant clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae (MIC50s = 0.25-2 and 8-16 μM in the presence and absence of relebactam, respectively), but not A. baumannii. In vivo, relebactam (48.9 mg/kg per day) produces a bacteriostatic effect in mouse thigh models of K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa infection when administered with imipenem and cilastatin.
In vitro activity:
(MK-7655) inhibited both class A and C β-lactamases in vitro. It effectively restored imipenem's activity against imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas and Klebsiella strains at clinically achievable concentrations. Reference: Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2014 Feb 1;24(3):780-5. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24433862/
In vivo activity:
This phase 3 clinical trial found that imipenem combined with relebactam is a therapeutic option in hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia at approved dosages of imipenem 500 mg, cilastatin 500 mg and relebactam 250 mg once every 6h, by an IV infusion over 30 min.
