4-Aryl-substituted N-thiolated beta-lactams are a new family of antibacterial agents possessing unique structure activity profiles and a mode of action. Unlike traditional beta-lactam antibiotics, which require highly polar enzyme-binding groups, these lactams bear hydrophobic groups on their side chains. In this study, we examine the effect that increasing hydrophobicity, through fluorine substitution in the C-4 aryl ring, has on the antibacterial properties. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
