Class: Beta-lactamase inhibitor
| Agent Type: | Semisynthetic; Small molecule; Direct acting; Antibiotic adjuvant; |
| Spectrum of activity: | Gram-negative |
| Mechanism of action: | TEM and SHV type plasmid beta-lactamases inhibitor and chromosomal cephalosporinases inhibitor |

| Institute where first reported: | Beecham Pharmaceuticals (GSK, US) |
| Year first mentioned: | 1987 |
| Highest development stage: | Phase 1 |
