Beta-lactamase inhibitors The beta-lactamase inhibitors encompass several drugs important for the treatment of nosocomial infections. Sulbactam, clavulanic acid, and tazobactam are the most common members of this class employed for the treatment of Acinetobacter infection. Beta-lactamase inhibitors have very...
Piperacillin/tazobactam, ticarcillin/clavulanate, and ampicillin/sulbactam are examples of the combination of a beta-lactam with a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Unfortunately, multiple mechanisms of resistance may work together in producing resistance to the beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations. Ou...

Such inhibitor molecules decrease the catalytic rate of beta-lactamase reactions or completely prevent beta-lactamases from performing any catalysis at all. Examples of reversible competitive inhibitors include boronic acids. Examples of active-site-directed irreversible inhibitors include phosphate or ...
This review takes recent examples of synthetic b-lactam compounds developed as active-site serine b-lactamase inhibitors, emphasizing information on their structures and their activity against Ambler classes A, C and D b-lactamases. In addition, examples based on rational design by computerized ...
Beta-lactamase inhibitors such as clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam Chemical structure The beta-lactam ring is common to all BLA. In the penicillin group, the beta-lactam ring is connected to a five-member thiazolidine ring and has one side chain (R1). In cephalosporins, the beta-lac...

Examples are penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin. beta-lactamase Enzyme (penicillin amido-beta-lactam hydrolase, EC 3.5.2.6, 377aa in E. coli) produced by some bacteria that makes them resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. Competitively inhibited by clavulanic acid. Extended-spectrum beta lactamases ...
(extended-spectrum β-lactamases,ESBLs; functional group 2be) or exhibit a decreased sensitivity to β-lactamase inhibitors (inhibitor-resistant TEMs, IRTs; functional group 2br). ESBLs are now the most immediate threat to the use of the newer generations of cephalosporins. These enzymes are ...
Class A β-lactamases are serine proteases that hydrolyze, on various levels, penicillins, monobactams, cephalosporins, and carbapenems and may be inhibited by β-lactamase inhibitors (e.g., clavulanic acid, sulbactam, tazobactam). It is the most diverse group, consisting of the enzymes with ...
