- Associated Conditions
- Pharmacodynamics
Ertapenem has in vitro activity against gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
- Mechanism of action
The bactericidal activity of ertapenem results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis and is mediated through ertapenem binding to penicillin binding proteins (PBPs). In Escherichia coli, it has strong affinity toward PBPs 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4 and 5 with preference for PBPs 2 and 3. Ertapenem is stable against hydrolysis by a variety of beta-lactamases, including penicillinases, and cephalosporinases and extended spectrum beta-lactamases. Ertapenem is hydrolyzed by metallo-beta-lactamases.
Target Actions Organism APenicillin-binding protein 2 inhibitorHaemophilus influenzae (strain ATCC 51907 / DSM 11121 / KW20 / Rd) APenicillin-binding protein 2 inhibitorEscherichia coli (strain K12) APeptidoglycan synthase FtsI inhibitorHaemophilus influenzae (strain ATCC 51907 / DSM 11121 / KW20 / Rd) APeptidoglycan synthase FtsI inhibitorEscherichia coli (strain K12) AD-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase DacB inhibitorEscherichia coli (strain K12) APenicillin-binding protein 1A inhibitorEscherichia coli (strain K12) APenicillin-binding protein 1B inhibitorEscherichia coli (strain K12) AD-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase DacC inhibitorEscherichia coli (strain K12) - Absorption
Ertapenem is almost completely absorbed following intramuscular administration. The bioavailability of a 1 g intramuscular dose approximated 92% in 26 healthy subjects [77% male; median (range) age, 29 (22–41) years]. Plasma concentrations of total ertapenem were similar whether given intramuscularly or intravenously.
- Volume of distribution
- 0.12 liter/kg [adults]
- 0.2 liter/kg [pediatric, 3 months to 12 years]
- 0.16 liter/kg [pediatric patients 13 to 17 years]
- Protein binding
Ertapenem is highly bound to human plasma proteins, primarily albumin, in a concentration-dependent manner. The protein binding of ertapenem decreases as plasma concentrations increase. At a plasma concentration of <100 µg/mL, approximately 95% of ertapenem is protein bound. Protein binding of ertapenem decreases to approximately 85% at an approximate plasma concentration of 300 µg/mL.
- Metabolism
The major metabolite is the inactive ring-opened derivative formed by hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring. Ertapenem did not inhibit metabolism mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms 1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, or 3A4 when evaluated by in vitro studies in human liver microsomes. Ertapenem is neither a substrate nor an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein or cytochrome P450 enzymes; significant drug interactions between ertapenem and drugs handled by these systems are not expected [PMID: 15150180]
- Route of elimination
Of the 80% recovered in urine, approximately 38% is excreted as unchanged drug and approximately 37% as the ring-opened metabolite.

The mean plasma half-life is approximately 4 hours.
