P. Eby et al., BETA-LACTAMASE INHIBITORS - SYNTHESIS AND IN-VITRO EVALUATION OF TITUTED-1,2,3-TRIAZOL-4-YL)METHYLENE]-PENICILLANIC ACID SULFONES, Heterocycles, 42(2), 1996, pp. 653-668
A series of 6-[(1-substituted 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methylene]penicillani
c acid sulfones were synthesized and tested for beta-lactamase inhibit
ory activity. The (6Z)-isomers were over 100 times more potent than th
e (6E)-isomers against cell-free beta-lactamases and were synergistic
with ampicillin against a variety of beta-lactamase producing bacteria
.
