- Abstract
- Assuming that bicyclic β-lactams endowed with high conformational adaptability should more easily form acyl-enzyme complexes with PBP2a than the traditional antibiotics, we have prepared a series of bis-2-oxo-azetidinyl macrocycles as potential inhibitors. The compounds are formally "head-head" (HH) cyclodimers of 1-(ω-alkenoyl)-3-(S)- (ω′-alkenoylamino)-2-azetidinones, with various lengths of the alkene chains, obtained by two successive metathesis reactions using the Grubbs catalyst. All compounds behave as acylating inhibitors of PBP2a and one β-lactam (5c), embedded into the largest ring (32 atoms), features an activity close to that of Ceftobiprole. Conformational analyses, theoretical reactivity models and docking experiments in PBP2a cavity allow to propose a novel pharmacophore, i.e. the 3-(S)-acylamino-1-acyl-2-azetidinone ring, with the syn-conformation of the imide function, associated to a flexible macrocycle favoring the opening of the active site. © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.
