Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Cilastatin inhibits dehydropeptidase-I-induced hydrolysis of the antibacterial imipenem, thereby increasing its bioactivity and prolongs its antibacterial effect. The drug also inhibits the metabolism of leukotriene D4 to leukotriene E4. It has been reported to be a bacterial beta-lactamase inhibitor [2].
