Inhibitors of β-lactamase
View Patent ↗The intention relates to bacterial antibiotic resistance and, in particular, to compositions and methods for overcoming bacterial antibiotic resistance. The invention provides novel β-lactamase inhibitors, which are structurally unrelated to the natural product and semi-synthetic β-lactamase inhibitors presently available, and which do not require a β-lactam pharmacophore. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for inhibiting bacterial growth.
1. A compound of the following formula:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein
R 1 is thien-2-yl, each optionally substituted;
L is a covalent bond, —CH 2 O—, —C(O)—, or —C(═N—OCH 3 )—; and
R 5 is -halo or —OR 10 wherein R 10 is —H, phenyl, pyridinyl, or quinolinyl, each optionally substituted,
provided that when L is —CH 2 O—, R 5 is not —F or p-nitrophenoxy.
2. The compound according to claim 1 wherein the substituents are independently selected from —NO 2 , —CO 2 H, and halo.
