Mechanism of Action

Faropenem exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are essential for the cross-linking of peptidoglycan chains in the bacterial cell wall. This inhibition leads to a weakened cell wall and ultimately causes cell lysis and death.
