title: Synthesis and in vitro activity of a series 1beta-methylcarbapenem derivatives.
abstract: The synthesis of a new series of 1beta-methylcarbapenems having pyrrolidine and piperidine moieties is described. Their in vitro antibacterial activities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were tested and the effect of substituent on the pyrrolidine ring was investigated. A particular compound (IIIb) having hydroxypyrrolidine moiety showed the most potent antibacterial activity.
