Serendipitous Discovery of α-Hydroxyalkyl Esters as β-Lactamase Substrates

Abstract: O-(1-Carboxy-1-alkyloxycarbonyl) hydroxamates were found to spontaneously decarboxylate in aqueous neutral buffer to form O-(2-hydroxyalkylcarbonyl) hydroxamates. While the former molecules do not react rapidly with serine β-lactamases, the latter are quite good substrates of representative classes A and C, but not D, enzymes, and particularly of a class C enzyme. The enzymes catalyze hydrolysis of these compounds to a mixture of the α-hydroxyacid and hydroxamate. Analogous compounds containing aryloxy leaving… Show more

“…Interestingly, these same interactions were observed in one of the conformations that may occur on reaction of the P99 β-lactamase with 1. 5 This structure is probably even more likely in this than in the latter case because of the presence in 5 of the amido side chain which is seen in Fig. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012 to hydrogen bond into the active site in just the same way as it is thought to do in natural substrates.…”

“…It may be, therefore, that the α-hydroxydepsipeptides 5 bind and react at the β-lactamase active site in a conformation more closely resembling that of 1 than that of 4 . The occupancy of the active site by 1 5 and by 4 15 has been previously discussed. The interaction of 5 with the β-lactamase active site is explicitly addressed below.…”
