The intention relates to bacterial antibiotic resistance and, in particular, to compositions and methods for overcoming bacterial antibiotic resistance. The invention provides novel &bgr;-lactamase inhibitors, which are structurally unrelated to the natural product and semi-synthetic &bgr;-lactamase inhibitors presently available, and which do not require a &bgr;-lactam pharmacophore. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for inhibiting bacterial growth.
这段话的意思是:意图与细菌抗生素耐药性有关,特别是涉及克服细菌抗生素耐药性的组合物和方法。该发明提供了新颖的β-内酰胺酶抑制剂,其与目前已有的
天然产物和半合成β-内酰胺酶抑制剂在结构上无关,且不需要β-内酰胺药效团。该发明还提供了用于抑制细菌生长的制药组合物和方法。
