title: Studies on new dehydropeptidase inhibitors. III. Biological properties of WS1358A1.
abstract: WS1358A1, a novel inhibitor of renal dehydropeptidase (DHP), augmented the urinary recovery of a carbapenem antibiotic imipenem and improved its protective effect in experimental infections when simultaneously administered to mice with the antibiotic. WS1358A1 was a competitive DHP inhibitor with a Ki value of 1.6 x 10(-7) M.
