The synthesis and evaluation of 6-alkylidene-2'beta-substituted penam sulfones as beta-lactamase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Jul 19;9(14):1997-2002. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00325-x.

Abstract

Penicillin sulfones, which structurally incorporate both a 6-position alkylidene substituent and a 2'beta substituent, have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of class C and class A serine beta-lactamases. Incorporation of the 2'beta-substituent generally improves inhibitory activity. Substituents that improve transport across the bacterial cell membrane have also been incorporated.
