NOVEL beta -LACTAMASE AND DD-PEPTIDASE INHIBITORS

摘要

The invention provides novel beta -lactamase inhibitors, which are structurally unrelated to the natural product and semi-synthetic beta -lactamase inhibitors presently available, and which do not possess beta -lactam pharmacophore. These new inhibitors are fully synthetic, allowing ready access to a wide variety of structurally related analogs. Certain embodiments of these new inhibitors also bind bacterial DD-peptidases, thus potentially acting both as beta -lactamase inhibitors and as antibiotics.
