Structural study of phenyl boronic acid derivatives as AmpC beta-lactamase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Jun 1;20(11):3416-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.04.007. Epub 2010 Apr 9.

Abstract

A small set of boronic acids acting as low nanomolar inhibitors of AmpC beta-lactamase were designed and synthesized in the effort to improve affinity, pharmacokinetic properties, and to provide a valid lead compound. X-ray crystallography revealed the binary complex of the best inhibitor bound to the enzyme, highlighting possibilities for its further rational derivatization and chemical optimization.
