Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Structural Effects of Quinoline-2-Carboxylates, Zinc-Binding Inhibitors of New Delhi Metallo-β-lactamase-1 Re-sensitizing Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria for Carbapenems
Carbapenem resistance mediated by metallo-β-lactamases (MBL) such as New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) has become a major factor threatening the efficacy of essential β-lactam antibiotics. Starting from hit fragment dipicolinic acid (DPA), 8-hydroxy- and 8-sulfonamido-quinoline-2-carboxylic acids were developed as inhibitors of NDM-1 with highly improved inhibitory activity and binding affinity
