NDM-1 inhibitor-7 (Compound A8) is an NDM-1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 10.284 μM. It restores the ability of meropenem (MEM) to penetrate the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria and effectively reinstates MEM's antibacterial activity against NDM-1 positive Escherichia coli. Moreover, NDM-1 inhibitor-7 demonstrates significant efficacy in both Galleria mellonella and murine peritonitis infection models.
