- Sustainable Passerini-tetrazole three component reaction (PT-3CR): selective synthesis of oxaborol-tetrazoles
-
A sustainable catalyst- and solvent-free Passerini-tetrazole three component reaction (PT-3CR) has been developed for the selective synthesis of benzoxaborol-tetrazoles for the first time. The synthetic potential of oxaboroles was demonstrated towards various functionalized tetrazoles, which are otherwise difficult to achieve through conventional PT-3CR from aromatic aldehydes/ketones. The reaction features high practicality, broad substrate scope and excellent yields (80-98%). Preliminary results of the asymmetric PT-3CR are also shown for the synthesis of chiral benzoxaboroles.

- Discovery of 3-aryl substituted benzoxaboroles as broad-spectrum inhibitors of serine- and metallo-β-lactamases
-
The production of β-lactamases represents the main cause of resistance to clinically important β-lactam antibiotics. Boron containing compounds have been demonstrated as promising broad-spectrum β-lactamase inhibitors to combat β-lactam resistance. Here we report a series of 3-aryl substituted benzoxaborole derivatives, which manifested broad-spectrum inhibition to representative serine-β-lactamases (SBLs) and metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs). The most potent inhibitor 9f displayed an IC50 value of 86 nM to KPC-2 SBL and micromolar inhibitory activity towards other tested enzymes. Cell-based assays further revealed that 9f was able to significantly reduce the MICs of meropenem in clinically isolated KPC-2-producing bacterial strains and it showed no apparent toxicity in HEK293T cells.

- Design and enantioselective synthesis of 3-(α-acrylic acid) benzoxaboroles to combat carbapenemase resistance
-
Chiral 3-substituted benzoxaboroles were designed as carbapenemase inhibitors and efficiently synthesisedviaasymmetric Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction. Some of the benzoxaboroles were potent inhibitors of clinically relevant carbapenemases and restored the activity of meropenem in bacteria harbouring these enzymes. Crystallographic analyses validate the proposed mechanism of binding to carbapenemases,i.e.in a manner relating to their antibiotic substrates. The results illustrate how combining a structure-based design approach with asymmetric catalysis can efficiently lead to potent β-lactamase inhibitors and provide a starting point to develop drugs combatting carbapenemases.
