Jh. Bateson et al., THE SYNTHESIS AND SERINE BETA-LACTAMASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF SOME PHOSPHONAMIDATE ANALOGS OF DIPEPTIDES, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(14), 1994, pp. 1667-1672
The dipeptidyl phosphonamidate analogues (4)-(12) inhibited a range of
serine beta-lactamases, being most efficacious against the Enterobact
er cloacae P99 isolated enzyme. Synergy experiments demonstrated that
the antibacterial activity of amoxycillin is potentiated against bacte
ria producing these enzymes, the effect again being most pronounced ag
ainst the P99-producing E.cloacae N-1 strain. The analogues (11) and (
12) (beta-amino acid C-terminal) were the most active inhibitors and s
ynergists.
