El. Setti et al., SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF SODIUM NYLMETHYL]-2-ALPHA-METHYLPENAM-3-ALPHA-CARBOXYLATE 1,1-DIOXIDE, Heterocycles, 42(2), 1996, pp. 645-651
A new beta-lactamase inhibitor, sodium 2 beta-[(2,5-dihydro-6-hydroxy-
2-methyl-5-oxo-1, ,2,4-triazin-3-yl)sulfonylmethyl]-2 alpha-methylpena
m-3 alpha-carboxylate 1,1-dioxide (3), was synthesized. The compound (
3) had excellent in vitro inhibitory activity except against cephalosp
orinase. In combination with ampicillin, piperacillin and ceftazidime,
its synergistic effects was inferior to tazobactam, thus suggesting p
oor penetration through the bacterial cell wall.
