The synthesis and SAR of rhodanines as novel class C beta-lactamase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2000 Oct 2;10(19):2179-82. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00444-3.

Abstract

Beta-lactam antibiotics such as the cephalosporins and penicillins have diminished clinical effectiveness due to the hydrolytic activity of diverse beta-lactamases, especially those in molecular classes A and C. A structure activity relationship (SAR) study of a high-throughput screening lead resulted in the discovery of a potent and selective non-beta-lactam inhibitor of class C beta-lactamases.
