Abstract

Several penems of types I – IV containing side-chains at C-2 derived from D- or L-amino acids were synthesized. The in-vitro antibacterial spectrum of these compounds is influenced by the stereochemistry of the side-chain. In general, penems with side-chains derived from D-amino acids are more potent, particularly against gram-negative organisms, relative to the isomeric analogs.
