Cilastatin
A competitive inhibitor of the renal enzyme dehydropeptidase-I that degrades imipenem in the kidney, used exclusively in combination with imipenem to prevent renal inactivation and nephrotoxicity of the antibiotic. It has no intrinsic antibacterial activity of its own. The combination dramatically improves the pharmacokinetic profile and safety of imipenem.
