M. Laborde et al., Synthesis and human leukocyte elastase inhibitory evaluation of phosphate triesters and acyl phosphates of penam sulfides and sulfones, BIO MED CH, 9(8), 2001, pp. 2113-2117
The synthesis of 6,6-dibromo-3 alpha-(diphenylphosphate)oxymethyl-2,2-dimet
hyl penam sulfone (3a), 6 alpha -chloro-3 alpha-(diphenylphosphate)oxymethy
l-2,2-dimethyl penam sulfone (3b), benzyl 6 alpha-(diphenyl-phosphate)oxype
nicillanate sulfone (4) and 6,6-dibromo-3 alpha-(methylphosphate)carbonyl-2
,2-dimethylpenam sulfone (12) are reported. When tested as inhibitors of hu
man leukocyte elastase, the compound 4 proved to be the most active. (C) 20
