Relebactam

Relebactam is a diazabicyclooctane beta-lactamase inhibitor, similar in structure to avibactam. It includes a piperidine ring which reduces export from bacterial cells by producing a positive charge. It is currently available in a combination product which includes imipenem and cilastatin to treat complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), pyelonephritis, and complicated intra-abdominal infections in adults. It is considered to be a last-line treatment option and gained FDA approval as part of the combination product RecarbrioⓇ in July 2019.
