20 16/04/ But are carbapenems sufficiently stable for a 4 h infusion? because they carry a C2-aminated side chain (nucleophile) C S basic group C slide 2 these penems are less stable than other -lactams! Viaene et al., AAC 2002; 46:

21 16/04/ But how can doripenem still be used in a 4 h infusion (vs. imipenem)? 1. strong tensions in the bicyclic ring due to the C2-C3 double bond S 2 imipenem 2. AD fast nucleophilic attack (instability of the amidinium function) 1. same strong tensions in the bicyclic ring due to the C2-C3 double bond S 2 S 2 3. BUT slower nucleophilic attack (steric hindrance) doripenem (and also meropenem)

22 16/04/ Stability according to EMEA 0.5 % solution Intensive Care Units may like to put 500 mg in 48 ml (1.048 %) DRIBAX Summary or Product Characteristics (EMEA)

23 16/04/ Stability according to EMEA 0.5 % solution Intensive Care Units may like to put 500 mg in 48 ml (1.048 %) glucose is a good nucleophilic attacker (a lot of groups DRIBAX Summary or Product Characteristics (EMEA)

24 More information about stability 16/04/

25 16/04/ What do we need to do in Belgium? check for MIC (organisms with MIC > 4 mg/l might create problems) EUCAST full MIC distributions check for stability under conditions of clinical use (temperatures > 25 C (often seen in ICU) and concentrated solutions (which clinicians may like) need to be critically assessed)
