General description

Sulbactam is a semi-synthetic penicillinate sulfone derived from 6-aminopenicllanic acid. This β-lactam compound is characterized by a β-lactam ring.

Application

Sulbactam has been used as a β-Lactamase inhibitor in β-lactamase inhibitor assay. It has also been used to evaluate its antimicrobial pharmacodynamic effects against extremely drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. Sulbactam may be used in cell signaling studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sulbactam acts as an irreversible inhibitor of β-lactamases that inactivate β-lactams such as penicillin and cephalosporin. It is also active against bacteroides and certain chromosomally mediated enzymes of Gram-negative bacteria. It exhibits limited antimicrobial activity. However, sulbactam in combination with other potential antibiotics exhibits therapeutic effects against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections.
