Abstract;We evaluated the stability of doripenem, a novel carbapenem antibiotic, against human renal dehydropeptidase-I (DHP-I). Because imipenem, a carbapenem antibiotic, was reported to be easily hydrolyzed by human DHP-I, it is used in the clinic combined with DHP-I inhibitor cilastatin, so stability against human DHP-I plays an important roles in the human pharmacolanetics of carbapenem antibiotics. We evaluated stability against DHP-I using recombinant human renal DHP-I, purified by cilastatin-coupled affinity chromatography from COS-1 cells producing DHP-I. Purified DHP-I was shown to form a broad single band in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, suggesting that it was produced as a glycosylated protein in COS-1 cells. Stability was observed by determining the residual activity of the carbapenem antibiotics after incubation for 90 min in the presence of purified DHP-I. The residual activity of imipenem decreased with increasing activity of purified DHP-I. The residual activity of imipenem and meropenem after incubation with purified DHP-I was 20% and 80%, suggesting that meropenem, which is used without a DHP-I inhibitor in the clinic, is highly stable against DHP-I. Doripenem was as stable as meropenem under the same conditions, suggesting that doripenem and meropenem could be used without a DHP-I inhibitor in the clinic. (author abst.)
