Molecules
We present transition state analogs such as boronic acids, which can covalently bind to the active serine residue in the catalytic site. ...
Some of these novel inhibitors are active against major pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and thus open avenues new for the discovery of novel antibiotics. ...
Transition State Analogs Transition state analog inhibitors ( Figure 2 ) have been found to be efficient inhibitors of serine β-lactamases [6, 21, 22] as previously observed for serine proteases [64 ...

NDM Metallo-β-Lactamases and Their Bacterial Producers in Health Care Settings
2019
Clinical Microbiology Reviews
SUMMARY New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM) is a metallo-β-lactamase able to hydrolyze almost all β-lactams. ...
Evidence-based guidelines on prevention and control of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are available, although none are specific for NDM-positive strains. ...
These studies are mainly aimed at CRE as a whole, most of which have serine-based -lactamases, such as KPC and OXA-48, rather than NDM. ...

Insights into the Antimicrobial Potential of Dithiocarbamate Anions and Metal-Based Species
2021
Inorganics
Overuse and poor disposal of antibacterial agents abet the emergence of bacterial resistance mechanisms. There is a clear need for new approaches for the development of antibacterial therapeutics. ...
This bibliographic review of the literature points to the exciting potential of dithiocarbamate-based therapeutics in the crucial battle against bacteria. ...
Unlike other serine-containing beta-lactamases (Classes A, C, and D), the activity of MBLs is not susceptible to beta-lactam inhibitors such as clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam [138] . ...

Electrophilic Fragment-Based Design of Reversible Covalent Kinase Inhibitors
2013
Journal of the American Chemical Society
Fragment-based ligand design and covalent targeting of noncatalytic cysteines have been employed to develop potent and selective kinase inhibitors. ...
Using this strategy, we identify electrophilic fragments with sufficient ligand efficiency and selectivity to serve as starting points for the first reported inhibitors of the MSK1 C-terminal kinase domain ...
The approach is especially wellsuited to the reversible, and hence thermodynamically driven, inhibitors discovered for β-lactamase and RSK2. ...
