Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB01597

PRIMAXIN® is a combination of cilastatin and imipenem. Cilastatin is a specific and reversible renal dehydropeptidase-I inhibitor. Imipenem is a penem antibacterial drug. Since the antibiotic, imipenem, is hydrolyzed by dehydropeptidase-I, which resides in the brush border of the renal tubule, cilastatin is administered with imipenem to block the metabolism and thus the inactivation of imipenem so that antibacterial levels of imipenem can be attained in the urine. However, cilastatin in and of itself does not have any antibacterial activity. It also prevents the metabolism of leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4 through the inhibition of leukotriene D4 dipeptidase.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) penetration of imipenem-cilastatin was evaluated in 20 children (aged 4 months to 11 years) with central nervous system infections.

Approved Use

Imipenem and Cilastatin for Injection, USP (I.V.) is indicated for the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the conditions listed below: Lower respiratory tract infections. Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase-producing strains), Acinetobacter species, Enterobacter species, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzaeEfficacy for this organism in this organ system was studied in fewer than 10 infections. , Klebsiella species, Serratia marcescens Urinary tract infections (complicated and uncomplicated). Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase-producing strains), Enterobacter species, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Morganella morganii , Proteus vulgaris , Providencia rettgeri , Pseudomonas aeruginosa Intra-abdominal infections. Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase-producing strains), Staphylococcus epidermidis, Citrobacter species, Enterobacter species, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Morganella morganii , Proteus species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bifidobacterium species, Clostridium species, Eubacterium species, Peptococcus species, Peptostreptococcus species, Propionibacterium species, Bacteroides species including B. fragilis, Fusobacterium species Gynecologic infections. Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase-producing strains), Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococci), Enterobacter species, Escherichia coli, Gardnerella vaginalis, Klebsiella species, Proteus species, Bifidobacterium species, Peptococcus species, Peptostreptococcus species, Propionibacterium species, Bacteroides species including B. fragilis Bacterial septicemia. Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase-producing strains), Enterobacter species, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia species, Bacteroides species including B. fragilis Bone and joint infections. Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase-producing strains), Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterobacter species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Skin and skin structure infections. Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase-producing strains), Staphylococcus epidermidis, Acinetobacter species, Citrobacter species, Enterobacter species, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Morganella morganii, Proteus vulgaris, Providencia rettgeri , Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia species, Peptococcus species, Peptostreptococcus species, Bacteroides species including B. fragilis, Fusobacterium species Endocarditis. Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase-producing strains) Polymicrobic infections. Imipenem and Cilastatin for Injection, USP (I.V.) is indicated for polymicrobic infections including those in which S. pneumoniae (pneumonia, septicemia), S. pyogenes (skin and skin structure), or nonpenicillinase-producing S. aureus is one of the causative organisms. However, monobacterial infections due to these organisms are usually treated with narrower spectrum antibiotics, such as penicillin G. Imipenem and Cilastatin for Injection, USP (I.V.) is not indicated in patients with meningitis because safety and efficacy have not been established. For Pediatric Use information, see PRECAUTIONS, Pediatric Use, and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION sections. Because of its broad spectrum of bactericidal activity against gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, Imipenem and Cilastatin for Injection, USP (I.V.) is useful for the treatment of mixed infections and as presumptive therapy prior to the identification of the causative organisms. Although clinical improvement has been observed in patients with cystic fibrosis, chronic pulmonary disease, and lower respiratory tract infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, bacterial eradication may not necessarily be achieved. As with other beta-lactam antibiotics, some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa may develop resistance fairly rapidly during treatment with Imipenem and Cilastatin for Injection, USP (I.V.). During therapy of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, periodic susceptibility testing should be done when clinically appropriate. Infections resistant to other antibiotics, for example, cephalosporins, penicillin, and aminoglycosides, have been shown to respond to treatment with Imipenem and Cilastatin for Injection, USP (I.V.). To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Imipenem and Cilastatin for Injection, USP (I.V.) and other antibacterial drugs, Imipenem and Cilastatin for Injection, USP (I.V.) should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

Sample Use Guides

For adult patients with normal renal function (creatinine clearance of greater than or equal to 90 mL/min), the recommended PRIMAXIN® dosage regimens are: 500 mg every 6 hours OR 1000 mg every 8 hours OR 1000 mg every 6 hours.
Route of Administration: Intravenous
In Vitro Use Guide
Imipenem hydrolysis by both enzymes (human dehydropeptidase I and cphA from Aeromonas hydrophila) was seen to be cilastatin sensitive. The 50% inhibitory concentrations were 0.3 +/- 0.01 and 178 +/- 11 uM (n = 8), respectively.
