To improve the oral absorption of meropenem (MEPM), we synthesized and evaluated a series of its double-promoiety prodrugs, in which lipophilic promoieties were introduced into carboxyl and pyrrolidinyl groups. Among these prodrugs, pivaloyloxymethyl (1R,5S,6S)-2-[(3S,5S)-5-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-1-(isobutyryloxymethyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidin-3-ylthio]-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-1-methylcarbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate (4) and 1-ethylpropyloxycarbonyloxymethyl (1R,5S,6S)-2-[(3S,5S)-5-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-1-(isobutyryloxymethyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidin-3-ylthio]-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-1-methylcarbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate (8) were chosen for further evaluation. Compounds 4 and 8 were well absorbed after oral administration to rats and beagles (bioavailability 18.2-38.4%), and expected to show potent therapeutic efficacy in patients infected with various pathogens, such as penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae and ?-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant H. influenzae.
