Abstract
Five 6-(1-hydroxyalkyl)penam sulfone derivatives and two 6-(hydroxymethyl)penams were synthesized for beta-lactamase inhibitor screens. The substituent effects and stereochemical requirements of 6alpha- and 6beta-(1-hydroxyalkyl) groups for the biological activity of penam sulfone derivatives were investigated. Of these substituents, only the 6beta-hydroxymethyl group of 15 improved the activity of sulbactam against both TEM-1 and AmpC beta-lactamases. The sulfone moiety is required for the enhancement of the beta-lactamase inhibitory activity. 6Beta-hydroxymethylsulbactam (15) was able to restore the activity of piperacillin in vitro and in vivo against various beta-lactamase producing microorganisms.Entities:
