N-Thiolated β-Lactam Antibacterials: Defining the Role of Unsaturation in the C4 Side Chain
摘要:
N-Methylthio beta-lactams represent a novel family of antibacterial agents for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The structure-activity functions and mechanism of action of these compounds, although still largely undefined, differ dramatically from those of all previously reported beta-lactam antibiotics. Prior work has established that the N-alkylthio moiety is required for antibacterial activity, and that a variety of unsaturated groups can be tolerated at C-4 of the lactam ring. This report describes the effect that unsaturation within the C-4 substituent has on antibacterial activity of these interesting new N-thiolated beta-lactams. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The subject invention concerns N-thiolated &bgr;-lactam compounds, their analogs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and amides thereof. The subject invention also concerns methods for inducing tumor cell death or inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, and methods for inducing DNA damage, inhibiting DNA replication, activating p38 MAP kinase, or activating caspase cascade activation, or releasing cytochrome C from mitochondria into the cytoplasm in a tumor cell. Methods for treating cancer using N-thiolated &bgr;-lactam compounds, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same are further disclosed.
