Descriptor tienamicinas
Entry term(s) antibióticos tienamicinas
Scope note: Antibióticos betalactámicos que difieren de las PENICILINAS en que el átomo de azufre de la tiazolidina está sustituido por un carbono siendo, por tanto, el azufre el primer átomo en la cadena lateral. Son químicamente inestables, pero tienen un espectro antibacteriano muy amplio. La tienamicina y sus derivados más estables están propuestos para ser utilizados en combinación con inhibidores enzimáticos.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013845
Scope note: Beta-lactam antibiotics that differ from PENICILLINS in having the thiazolidine sulfur atom replaced by carbon, the sulfur then becoming the first atom in the side chain. They are unstable chemically, but have a very broad antibacterial spectrum. Thienamycin and its more stable derivatives are proposed for use in combinations with enzyme inhibitors.
