The IUPAC name is lacking stereochemistry specifics.--ChemSpiderMan (talk) 02:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I switched to the IUPAC name given at the PubChem link which has stereochemistry. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to do that when I redrew the structure, but completely forgot :) Thanks, Ed. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IUPAC NAme and Structure

I think the correct IUPAC Name is

(4R,5S,6S)-3-({(3S,5S)-5-[(3-carboxyphenyl)carbamoyl]pyrrolidin-3-yl}sulfanyl)-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-4-methyl-7-oxo-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid

and the structure as drawn is incorrect--ChemSpiderMan (talk) 23:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

... that the antibiotic ertapenem can dramatically reduce the concentrations of an anti-seizure drug in the blood plasma? Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27322166/ "Ertapenem and meropenem had a greater effect on VPA serum concentration than imipenem/cilastatin. Because of the dramatic reduction of VPA serum concentration during CBPMs' use, concomitant use of VPA and CBPMs should be avoided."

5x expanded by Anypodetos (talk). Self-nominated at 13:27, 30 July 2020 (UTC).[reply]

- 5x expansion less than 7 days before nomination. Article is not a stub any more and well over 1500 characters. Copyvio check reveals no similar text. Fact is sourced (I've added two extra sources on a related topic.) Although I am not a subject-matter expert no problems showing up. Hook formatting is OK, length less than 200 characters. Seems good to go.
