Abstract

Abstract : Described are the syntheses and evaluations of hydroxamate containing and N -methylthiolated monobactams as a class of potent β-lactamase inhibitors. Abstract : Both the resurgence of tuberculosis (TB) and antibiotic resistance continue to threaten modern healthcare and new means of combating pathogenic bacterial infections are needed. The syntheses of monobactams possessing hydroxamate and N -methylthio functionality are described, as well as their anti-TB, in vitro β-lactamase inhibitory, and general antimicrobial evaluations. A number of compounds exhibited significant anti-TB and β-lactamase inhibitory activity, with MIC values in the range of 25 to <0.19 μM against Mycobacteria tuberculosis ( M. tb ), and K i values in the range of 25–0.03 μM against purified NDM-1 and VIM-1 lystate metallo β-lactamases. This work suggests that these scaffolds may serve as promising leads in developing new antibiotics and/or β-lactamase inhibitors.
