ABSTRACT
We discovered an orally active carbapenem, L-084, through pharmacokinetic studies on various prodrug esters of (1R,5S,6S)-6-[(R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-l-methyl-2-[1-(1,3-thiazolin-2-yl)azetidin-3-yl]thio-1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid (LJC11,036). L-084 showed a strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and exhibited the highest intestinal absorption among synthesized prodrugs of LJC11,036.
