title: Synthesis and preliminary in-vitro profile of Sch 34343--a new penem antibacterial agent.
abstract: Sch 34343, a new penem antibiotic, has been synthesized by several routes and found to be highly active against both aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms (except Pseudomonas). It has excellent beta-lactamase stability and is bactericidal. The synthetic routes to Sch 34343 and its in-vitro activity compared with other structurally related penems are discussed.
