Conjoint molecules of cephalosporins and aminoglycosides
摘要:
A general synthetic route to conjoint molecules of cephalosporins and aminoglycosides is described. These molecules were designed as potential substrates for bacterial beta -lactamases, enzymes that hydrolyze the beta -lactam bond of cephalosporins. Hydrolysis of the beta -lactam bond was expected to release the Clo-appended aminoglycoside. Since beta -lactamases are sequestered in the periplasmic space of gram-negative bacteria, this sequence of events would liberate aminoglycoside inside such bacteria. It is expected that such local delivery of aminoglycosides would circumvent the inherent toxicity of aminoglycosides that occurs during systemic exposure within the mammalian host.

Synthesis and use of sulfonamide-, sulfoxide-, or sulfone-containing aminoglycoside–CoA bisubstrates as mechanistic probes for aminoglycoside N-6′-acetyltransferase
Aminoglycoside-coenzyme A conjugates are challenging synthetic targets because of the wealth of functional groups and high polarity of the starting materials. We previously reported a one-pot synthesis of amide-linked aminoglycoside-CoA bisubstrates. These molecules are nanomolar inhibitors of aminoglycoside N-6'-acetyltransferase Ii (AAC(6')-Ii), an important enzymeinvolved in bacterial resistance
