J. Marchandbrynaert, SYNTHESIS AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF MONOCYCLIC BETA-LACTAMS RELATED TO CEPHALOSPORIN AND PENICILLIN SULFONES, Bulletin des Societes chimiques belges, 106(9-10), 1997, pp. 585-604
Starting from the natural Penicillins G and V, a series of monocyclic
p-lactams B were prepared, functionalized at N(1) by an acetyl residue
and at C(3) and C(4), respectively, by an acylamino side-chain and a
sulfone substituent in a cis-stereochemical relationship. The TAL and
PIV prodrugs exhibited weak antibacterial activity in vitro.
