Abstract:
β-Lactams disrupt bacterial cell wall synthesis, and these agents are the most widely used antibiotics. One of the principle mechanisms by which bacteria resist the action of β-lactams is by producing β-lactamases, enzymes that degrade β-lactams. In Gram-negative bacteria, production of β-lactamases is often induced in response to the antibiotic-associated damage to the cell wall. Here, we have identified a previously unidentified mechanism that governs β-lactamase production. In the Gram-negative enteric pathogenVibrio parahaemolyticus, we found a histidine kinase/response regulator pair (VbrK/VbrR) that controls expression of a β-lactamase. Mutants lacking either VbrK or VbrR do not produce the β-lactamase and are no longer resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. Notably, VbrK autophosphorylation is activated by β-lactam antibiotics, but not by other lactams. However, single amino acid substitutions in the putative periplasmic binding pocket of VbrK leads its phosphorylation in response to both β-lactam and other lactams, suggesting that this kinase is a β-lactam receptor that can directly detect β-lactam antibiotics instead of detecting the damage to cell wall resulting from β-lactams. In strong support of this idea, we found that purified periplasmic sensor domain of VbrK binds penicillin, and that such binding is critical for VbrK autophosphorylation and β-lactamase production. Direct recognition of β-lactam antibiotics by a histidine kinase receptor may represent an evolutionarily favorable mechanism to defend against β-lactam antibiotics.

Abstract:
Abstract Antibiotic residues above tolerance levels are not allowed in foods derived from farm animals. Microbial inhibition assays are used to screen antibiotics in U.S. regulatory laboratories. We developed a screening approach to classify β-lactams through selective hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring with Penase™ or lactamase II, thereby inactivating the β- lactam activity. Optimum conditions for hydrolysis of β-lactams with Penase and lactamase II were determined. p-Lactams were detected by a microbial inhibition assay and with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays before and after hydrolysis. β- Lactams (10-100 ppb) were spiked in kidney extracts and hydrolyzed. Results indicate a pattern that tentatively classified the β-lactams into 3 subgroups. Desfuroyl-ceftiofur-cysteine, a major metabolite of ceftiofur, was clearly detected. Penicillin G, ampicillin, amoxicillin, and cloxacillin were distinguishable from cephapirin, ceftiofur metabolite, and high levels of hetacillin. Liver and kidney tissue samples were analyzed with the combined enzyme hydrolysis and screening assays, which tentatively identified the residues. This approach can speed up screening analysis of β-lactam residues prior to identification and quantitation by chromatographic analysis, thus enhancing positive identification of residues to provide a safer food supply

Abstract:
Introduction: Structural modulation of previously identified lead spiro-β-lactams with antimicrobial activity was carried out. Objective: The main objective of this work was to synthesize and evaluate the biological activity of novel spiro-lactams based on previously identified lead compounds with antimicrobial activity. Methods: The target chiral spiro-γ-lactams were synthesized through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of a diazo-γ-lactam with electron-deficient dipolarophiles. In vitro activity against HIV and Plasmodium of a wide range of spiro-β-lactams and spiro-γ-lactams was evaluated. Among these compounds, one derivative with good anti-HIV activity and two with promising antiplasmodial activity (IC50 < 3.5 µM) were identified. Results: A novel synthetic route to chiral spiro-γ-lactams has been established. The studied β- and γ- lactams were not cytotoxic, and three compounds with promising antimicrobial activity were identified, whose structural modulation may lead to new and more potent drugs. Conclusion: The designed structural modulation of biologically active spiro-β-lactams involved the replacement of the four-membered β-lactam ring by a five-membered γ-lactam ring. Although conformational and superimposition computational studies revealed no significant differences between β- and γ- lactam pharmacophoric features, the studied structural modulation did not lead to compounds with a similar biological profile. The observed results suggest that the β-lactamic core is a requirement for the activity against both HIV and Plasmodium.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The MexAB-OprM multidrug efflux system exports a number of antimicrobial compounds, including β-lactams. In an attempt to define more fully the range of antimicrobial compounds exported by this system, and, in particular, to determine whether β-lactamase inhibitors were also accommodated by the MexAB-OprM pump, the influence of pump status (its presence or absence) on the intrinsic antibacterial activities of these compounds and on their abilities to enhance β-lactam susceptibility in intact cells was assessed. MIC determinations clearly demonstrated that all three compounds tested, clavulanate, cloxacillin, and BRL42715, were accommodated by the pump. Moreover, by using β-lactams which were readily hydrolyzed by thePseudomonas aeruginosa class C chromosomal β-lactamase, it was demonstrated that elimination of themexAB-oprM-encoded efflux system greatly enhanced the abilities of cloxacillin and BRL42715 (but not clavulanate) to increase β-lactam susceptibility. With β-lactams which were poorly hydrolyzed, however, the inhibitors failed to enhance β-lactam susceptibility in MexAB-OprM+ strains, although BRL42715 did enhance β-lactam susceptibility in MexAB-OprM−strains, suggesting that even with poorly hydrolyzed β-lactams this inhibitor was effective when it was not subjected to efflux. MexEF-OprN-overexpressing strains, but not MexCD-OprJ-overexpressing strains, also facilitated resistance to β-lactamase inhibitors, indicating that these compounds are also substrates for the MexEF-OprN pump. These data indicate that an ability to inactivate MexAB-OprM (and like efflux systems in other bacteria) will markedly enhance the efficacies of β-lactam–β-lactamase inhibitor combinations in treating bacterial infections.

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate thein vitrocombination of farnesol and β-lactams againstBurkholderia pseudomallei. A total of 12 β-lactamase-positive strains were tested according to CLSI standards. All strains were inhibited by farnesol, with MICs ranging from 75 to 150 μM. The combination of this compound with β-lactams resulted in statistically significant β-lactam MIC reduction (P≤ 0.05). This study provides new perspectives for the use of farnesol combined with β-lactam antibiotics against strains ofB. pseudomallei.

Abstract:
β-Lactams are the most widely prescribed class of antibiotics that inhibit penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), particularly transpeptidases that function in peptidoglycan synthesis. A major mechanism of antibiotic resistance is the production of β-lactamase enzymes, which are capable of hydrolyzing β-lactam antibiotics. There have been many efforts to counter increasing bacterial resistance against β-lactams. These studies have mainly focused on three areas: discovering novel inhibitors against β-lactamases, developing new β-lactams less susceptible to existing resistance mechanisms, and identifying non-β-lactam inhibitors against cell wall transpeptidases. Drug discovery in the β-lactam field has afforded a range of research opportunities for academia. In this review, we summarize the recent new findings on both β-lactamases and cell wall transpeptidases because these two groups of enzymes are evolutionarily and functionally connected. Many efforts to develop new β-lactams have aimed to inhibit both transpeptidases and β-lactamases, while several promising novel β-lactamase inhibitors have shown the potential to be further developed into transpeptidase inhibitors. In addition, the drug discovery progress against each group of enzymes is presented in three aspects: understanding the targets, screening methodology, and new inhibitor chemotypes. This is to offer insights into not only the advancement in this field but also the challenges, opportunities, and resources for future research. In particular, cyclic boronate compounds are now capable of inhibiting all classes of β-lactamases, while the diazabicyclooctane (DBO) series of small molecules has led to not only new β-lactamase inhibitors but potentially a new class of antibiotics by directly targeting PBPs. With the cautiously optimistic successes of a number of new β-lactamase inhibitor chemotypes and many questions remaining to be answered about the structure and function of cell wall transpeptidases, non-β-lactam transpeptidase inhibitors may usher in the next exciting phase of drug discovery in this field.

Abstract:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen, causing a wide range of acute and chronic infections. β-lactam antibiotics including penicillins, carbapenems, monobactams, and cephalosporins play a key role in the treatment of P. aeruginosa infections. However, a significant number of isolates of these bacteria are resistant to β-lactams, complicating treatment of infections and leading to worse outcomes for patients. In this review, we summarize studies demonstrating the health and economic impacts associated with β-lactam-resistant P. aeruginosa. We then describe how β-lactams bind to and inhibit P. aeruginosa penicillin-binding proteins that are required for synthesis and remodelling of peptidoglycan. Resistance to β-lactams is multifactorial and can involve changes to a key target protein, penicillin-binding protein 3, that is essential for cell division; reduced uptake or increased efflux of β-lactams; degradation of β-lactam antibiotics by increased expression or altered substrate specificity of an AmpC β-lactamase, or by the acquisition of β-lactamases through horizontal gene transfer; and changes to biofilm formation and metabolism. The current understanding of these mechanisms is discussed. Lastly, important knowledge gaps are identified, and possible strategies for enhancing the effectiveness of β-lactam antibiotics in treating P. aeruginosa infections are considered.

Abstract:
Beta-lactam resistance in mycobacteria results from an interplay between the following: (i) beta-lactamase production, (ii) affinity of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) for the drugs, and (iii) permeation of the drugs. A laboratory mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis was studied in order to evaluate the roles of these factors in beta-lactam resistance. Mutant M13 was between 7- and 78-fold more resistant than the wild type to cephaloridine, cefoxitin, cefazolin, cefamandole, and cephalothin. Increased beta-lactamase activity toward these antibiotics was not observed in the mutant. The PBP profiles of the wild type and M13 were comparable. However, the affinities of PBP 1 for the beta-lactams tested were lower for the mutant than for the wild type. The permeation of the drugs measured in intact cells was lower for M13 than for the parent strain. The liposome swelling technique, which could be used for cephaloridine, also supported this view. Reduced permeation was not restricted to the beta-lactams alone. Glycine uptake was also lower in M13. Taken together, the results suggest that decreased affinities of PBP 1 for beta-lactams, combined with the decreased permeability of the cell wall of the mutant, lead to the development of high-level acquired beta-lactam resistance.

Abstract:
Objectives. Evaluating the activity of nineteen β-lactams in combination with different β-lactamase inhibitors to determine the most potent combination against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in vitro. Methods. Drug activity was examined by drug susceptibility test with 122 clinical isolates from China. Mutations of blaC and drug targets ldtMt1, ldtMt2, dacB2, and crfA were analyzed by nucleotide sequencing. Results. Tebipenem (TBM) in combination with clavulanate (CLA) exhibited the highest anti-TB activity. The MIC of β-lactam antibiotics was reduced most evidently in the presence of CLA, compared to avibactam (AVI) and sulbactam (SUB). Eight polymorphism sites were identified in blaC, which were not associated with β-lactams resistance. Interestingly, one strain carrying G514A mutation in blaC was highly susceptible to β-lactams regardless of the presence of inhibitors. The transpeptidase encoding genes, ldtMt1, ldtMt2, and dacB2, harboured three mutations, two mutations, and one mutation, respectively, but no correlation was found between these mutations and drug resistance. Conclusion. The activity of β-lactams against MTB and different synergetic effect of β-lactamase inhibitors were indicated. TBM/CLA exhibited the most activity and has a great prospect in developing novel anti-TB regimen; however, further clinical research is warranted. Moreover, the resistance to the β-lactam antibiotics might not be conferred by single target mutation in MTB and requires further studies.

Abstract:
The 6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring system is found in a wide variety of biologically active natural and non-natural products. The aim of this project is to prepare the 7,8-diketo-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane structure via a semipinacol rearrangement of ring-fused β -lactams. Chapter 1 introduces the pinacol and semipinacol rearrangement, including the use of cyclic sulfites and phosphoranes, and ring expansion of β -lactams. Previous work in the Grainger group for the synthesis of lactams via tandem radical cyclisation-dithiocarbamate group transfer is also discussed. Chapter 2 describes the methodology developed for the semipinacol rearrangement of β-lactams. Access to suitable precursors for the semipinacol rearrangement is achieved through a sequence of 4-exo trig radical cyclisation, base-mediated dithiocarbamate group elimination and dihydroxylation. Formation of the 7,8-diketo-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane ring system occurs through semipinacol rearrangement of the corresponding cyclic sulfites and phosphoranes. In Chapter 3, the scope and limitations of the methodology are explored. Different substituents on the nitrogen of the β-lactam, groups on the cyclohexane moiety (methyl and oxygenation) and ring sizes are investigated. An original approach to the total synthesis of peduncularine is described in Chapter 4. Synthesis of a suitably functionalised β-lactam and attempts to further transform it into the desired 7,8-diketo-6- azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-ene structure are reported. Work towards the total synthesis of calyciphylline D, calyciphylline F and caldaphnidine M is described in chapter 5. Reductive amination and stereoselective reduction of piperitone are investigated. Use of a model system for the addition of nucleophiles onto thiolactams is also described.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 introduces the biological importance of glycosidase inhibitors. The biosynthesis of N-linked glycoproteins is briefly described and the mode of action of glycosidase enzymes is discussed. Some naturally occurring amino-sugar glycosidase inhibitors are detailed. In addition certain sugar lactones, lactams and cyclic amidines which have also been shown to inhibit glycosidase enzymes are reviewed. Chapter 2 introduces the syntheses of various polyhydroxylated piperidine and pyrrolidine alkaloids and sugar lactams. In addition the formation of cyclic sugar amidines and their derivatives is discussed. Chapter 3 involves the syntheses of four novel sugar lactams. The syntheses of 4-amino-4-deoxy-D-allonolactam and 4-amino-4-deoxy-D-talonolactam via novel routes developed by the author are dealt with in detail. The preparations of the corresponding D- and L-ribono compounds by a shortening of the carbon chain are also described. Chapter 4 introduces the syntheses of the novel D-allono-, D-talono- and D-ribono- amidines from the corresponding lactam derivatives. Chapter 4 also reports on literature preparations of sugar tetrazoles and their inhibitory properties towards glycosidase enzymes. Also included is the synthesis of the novel D-talonotetrazole.

Abstract:
1. (R)-Phenylglycinol-derived oxazolopiperidone lactams can be converted to enantiopure open-chain amino ester scaffolds by alkaline hydrolysis of the N-Boc 2-piperidones resulting from the reductive cleavage of the oxazolidine ring. 2. Lithium amidotrihydroborate (LiNH2BH3) reduction of diversely substituted (R)-phenylglycinol-derived oxazolopiperidone lactams brought about the reductive opening of both the oxazolidine and lactam rings, providing general access to structurally diverse enantiopure amino diols A bearing a variety of substitution patterns, substituents (alkyl, benzyl, aryl, protected hydroxy), and stereochemistries. 3. Reductive removal of the phenylethanol moiety present in the amino diols prepared by the above procedure, followed by treatment of the resulting primary amines with (Boc)2O provides a general synthetic entry to enantiopure N-Boc 5-aminopentanols bearing substitutents at the 2-, 3-, 4-, 2,2-, 2,3-, 2,4-, and 3,4- positions. 4. The oxidative removal of the phenylglycinol moiety of amino diols A (previously O-silylated) using the I2/aq NH3 system constitutes an excellent procedure for the straightforward preparation of enantiopure substituted 5-hydroxypentanenitrile derivatives. 5. The m-CPBA-promoted oxidative removal of the phenylglycinol moiety of amino diols A (previously O-silylated) constitutes an excellent procedure for the straightforward preparation of enantiopure substituted 5-hydroxypentanoic acid derivatives. 6. As both enantiomers of phenylglycinol are commercially available, both enantiomers of a target 5-aminopentanol, 5-hydroxypentanoic acid, and 5-hydroxypentanenitrile are accessible through the above methodology. 7. The synthetic value of the open-chain amino diols A has been demonstrated with their use as key scaffolds for the enantioselective synthesis of the Haliclona alkaloids haliclorensin C (first total synthesis), haliclorensin (total), halitulin (formal), and isohaliclorensin (formal). 8. The synthetic value of the open-chain amino diols 5-hydroxypentanoic acids, and 5-hydroxypentanenitriles prepared from (S)-phenylglycinol-derived lactams has been demonstrated with their use as key scaffolds for the synthesis of the natural macrolactam fluvirucinin B1. 9. The approach we have developed significantly expands the potential of phenylglycinol-derived d-lactams, which have been converted for the first time to enantiopure open-chain building blocks.

Abstract:
This thesis reports the work done on two research projects which were carried out independently of each other but converge on the central theme of β-lactam biosynthesis. Chapter 1 provides an overview of biosynthesis in secondary metabolism, with special emphasis on current knowledge about the β-lactams. The first project, covered from Chapters 2 to 5, was part of our group's continuing effort to understand the structure and mechanism of Ring Expandase-Hydroxylase (REXH), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of cephalosporin C in Cephalosporium acremonium. REXH is a bifunctional enzyme, converting penicillin N to DAOC and thence to DAC. [diagram omitted from transcription] Chapter 3 discusses the investigation of purification protocols for native REXH and soluble recombinant REXH, as well as an improved refolding method for recombinant REXH expressed as inclusion bodies. Chapter 4 describes two new alternative substrates for REXH, viz. carba-DAOC and DAC, whilst the y-lactam analogue of penicillin N was not found to be a substrate for REXH. Chapter 5 summarises some structural investigations of REXH employing methods such as electrospray mass spectrometry, selective proteolysis and inhibition kinetics. [diagram omitted from transcription] The second project, covered from Chapters 6 to 9, represents the first biosynthetic studies on valclavam, an antifungal produced by Streptomyces antibioticus. Valclavam belongs to the family of clavams which includes clavulanic acid as its most well studied member. [diagram omitted from transcription] Chapter 7 details the development of methods for the bioassay, fermentation and isolation of valclavam. It also describes the isolation of a stable degradation fragment of valclavam which led to the revision of the structures of valclavam and Tü 1718B (another metabolite from the same organism). Chapter 8 gives an account of the whole-cell feeding experiments which strongly suggest that the primary metabolic precursors for valclavam are L-valine, L-arginine, L-methionine and glycerol. Chapter 9 reports the discovery of two enzymic activities, belonging to those of clavaminic acid synthase and proclavaminic acid amidino hydrolase, which are likely to be involved in the biosynthesis of valclavam. Together, the results of Chapters 8 and 9 point to an extensive overlap between the clavulanic acid pathway in Streptomyces clavuligerus and the valclavam pathway in Streptomyces antibioticus.

Abstract:
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is a nosocomial virulent microorganism that can cause acute and chronic infections in burn patients. The aim of the study: Diagnosis of genes mediated β-lactams resistance among test isolates. Materials and Methods: 649 swabs collected from inpatients with burn-wound infections at a burn center in Al-Najaf Province/ Iraq, from August 2022 to February 2023. Results: 68/ 649 (10.5%) isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii were identified according to microscopically, cultural, and biochemical features. 22 (32.4%) isolates were found able to produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases by using the double disks synergy method, and these producers tested by polymerase chain reactions technique for molecular determination β-lactams resistance encoding genes. This technique determined that the frequency of a single blaTEM gene and a single blaCTXM gene was 3/ 22 (13.6%) for each one among the test isolates and that 9/ 22 (41%) isolates possessed linked genes: the blaCTXM and blaTEM genes, whereas the blaSHV gene was not identified in any test isolate. Conclusions: The co-associated (blaTEM and blaCTXM) genes were revealed to be prevalent among the test isolates
