t-butylacetyl and (R)-1-phenylpropionyl urea. In order to reduce the molecular weights of these com­pounds, the peptidic moiety was changed with non-peptidic systems, which gave non-peptidic β-lactams good inhibitory activity. For example, β-lactams with a phenyl group at C4 demonstrated IC50 value of
1.9 μM. Addition of methylene groups between C4 phenyl and β-lactam core reduced the inhibitory power. The presence of C3 methyl group enhanced the activity.
Veinberg et al.26 synthesized 4-sulfonylazetidin-2-ones, 4-sulfonylthioazetidin-2-ones and 4-sulfothio­azetidin-2-ones. These were tested against various cancer cells (human brosarcoma, mouse hepatoma,
63Monocyclic Beta-Lactams
https://t.me/med1917
mouse melanoma, and mouse neuroblastoma). The results demonstrated that compounds with methyl­sulfonylthio, 4-met hoxyc arbon ylami nophe nylsu lfony lthio , and 4-tolylsulfonylthio substituents in 4-sul­fonylthioazetidin-2-ones demonstrated excellent anticancer activities. A denite relationship between cytotoxic concentration and intensity of NO radical generation was advanced.
A series of monocyclic 4-ary lthio /alky lthio /alky ldisu lde -β-la ctams were prepared by Kostova et al.27 These compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against M. tuberculosis and M. catarrhalis. The results showed that some compounds were active against β-lactamase-producing strain and inac­tive against other non-β-lactamase-producing bacterial strains. The N-unsubstituted β-lactam thioethers showed higher bioactivity than N-sulfonated β-lactams. Two β-lactams demonstrated best antimicrobial activity against M. tuberculosis and M. catarrhalis, respe ct ive ly.
Clemente et al.28 designed and synthesized N-acyloxymethyl and N-aminocarbonyloxymethyl deriva­tives of β-lactams 90. These compounds were tested for human leukocyte elastase (HLE) inhibitory activity. A substitution at position C3 was able to increase the potency. The C3 gem-diethyl group helped to increase activity signicantly. In addition, sulfone derivatives were found to be better than sulde derivatives. β-Lactams with C3 gem-diethyl group and C4 phenyl sulfone group demonstrated highest potency.
Novel 4-arylthioether-2-azetidinone derivatives as non-transpeptidase, β-lactamase inhibitors were prepared and evaluated by Beck et al.29 All these β-lactams showed inhibitory activity against β-lactamases-producing M. tuberculosis and M. catarrhalis. Importantly, β-lactam derivatives with car­bamyl group at N1 showed good activity along with electron-withdrawing groups on arylthioether moi­ety. Additionally, presence of CF3, F, and Cl (o or p) on aromatic ring of arylthio moiety demonstrated antibacterial activity. The activity was diminished when aryl group on C4 thioether was replaced with allyl and urea at N1 was replaced with carbonyl group.
Galletti et al.30 designed, synthesized, and evaluated a series of integrins (αvβ3 and α5β1) targeting β-lactam derivatives. In all the β-lactams, carboxylic and amine terminals are located at a consider­able distance (9–14 atoms apart) in order to turn on the recognition capability by integrins. The adhe­sion ability of β-lactams towards immobilized bronectin was evaluated against K562 and SK-MEL-24 cells. The β-lactams exhibited concentration-dependent augmentation in bronectin-mediated adhesion of K562 and SK-MEL-24 cells. In addition, a β-lactam acid was found to be selective for α5β1 (EC50 12 nM), while another amino acid compound showed superior afnity towards αvβ3 (EC50 11 n M).
Aoyama et al.31 designed and synthesized benzylazetidin-2-one analogue and investigated pharmaco­logical evaluation for human chymase inhibitory activity. Structure–activity relationship studies identi­ed a molecule with enhanced stability in human plasma and excellent chymase inhibitory activity (IC50
3.1 nM). It was suggested that stability in human plasma was inversely proportional to the chymase inhibitory activity.
Gerona-Navarro et al.32 synthesized phenyl alanine-derived 1-acyl-2-azetidinones and 1-acylazeti­dines. These compounds were screened for anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) activity. The 1-acyl­2-azetidinones were active against HCMV in HEL cell cultures. The results demonstrated that free carboxylic acid has negligible activity. Further, a molecule showed antiviral activity amongst β-lactam series against AD-169 and Davies strains (EC50 11 and 13 μM). Importantly, 1-acylazetidines exhibited inhibitory activity (EC50 0.74 and 0.62 μM) comparable to the standard compounds, i.e., ganciclovir (EC50 0.9 and 0.8 μM) (Fig u r e 2 .11).
Feledziak et al.33 reported the synthesis of 2-azetidinones and studied human fatty acid amide hydro­lase (hFAAH) inhibition. A β-lactam was identied for this purpose (IC50 3.65–5.56 nM), and it showed a noncovalent interaction between hFAAH and the substrate. Analyses of different synthesized com­pounds in this series suggested that Log P values and polar surface area can be adjusted without chang­ing FAAH inhibition. Moreover, the inhibitory activity was not changed due to the modication of solubility and permeability.
Adlington et al.34 conducted synthesis of monocyclic β-lactams as inhibitors of prostate-specic anti­gens (PSAs). This study resulted in the identication of a β-lactam as PSA inhibitor (IC50 0.348 ± 0.05 μM). Asymmetric synthesis of this compound afforded enantiomerically pure (3S,4S) form with better inhibitory power (IC50 0.226 ± 0.01 μM).

Burnett et al.35 synthesized a series of monocyclic β-lactams which are conformationally restricted analogues of ACAT inhibitors
31b
(SA 58035 and CI 976). Racemic and chiral forms of trans-β-lactam
were synthesized and evaluated for cholesterol absorption inhibitory (CAI) activity. The β-lactam with phenyl and 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl groups at C4 and N1 demonstrated better in vitro activity in com­parison to in vivo. A loss of CAI activity was observed with molecules that have no substitution at C4 of the ring. Importantly, trans-2-azetidinone (IC50 18 μM) demonstrated better activity than its cis-isomers. The compound with a positive optical rotation was double active than the compound that had a negative rotation.
Clader et al.36 synthesized β-lactam cholesterol inhibitor by modifying different side chains. It was found that N1 aromatic group is crucial for the activity. The nature of different substitutions on aromatic group did not alter the activity too much. The presence of a methoxy or a similar H-bonding group on C4 phenyl group and phenylalkyl substitution at C3 was crucial for the activity. Importantly, the length of the C3 group played a role in CAI. Results showed that a few β-lactams inhibit the accumulation of esteried as well as unesteried cholesterol (Fig ure 2 .12).
A series of carboxy-substituted β-lactams as potential CAI were designed and synthesized by Vaccaro et al.37 It was suggested that the heteroatom at fourth position of the C4 aromatic substituent is not crucial. A number of carboxy groups were introduced at the para position of the C4 aryl group, which resulted in the improvement of CAI function.
Rosenblum et al.38 prepared a series of C3 unsaturated and saturated β-lactams and evaluated them for CAI activity. 3-Arylpropenyl- and 3-arylpropynyl-substituted β-lactams were synthesized via Pd-catalyzed arylation of alkenes/alkynes followed by catalytic hydrogenation. The tests on these β-lactams showed that both unsaturated and saturated analogues have CAI activity. In addition, β-lactam with a C3 allyl group demonstrated that low CAI activity conrms the importance of a pendent phenyl residue on C3 site (Fig u re 2.13).
A few active metabolites of β-lactam were identied by Heek et al.39 For this work, the authors used bile duct and intestinally cannulated rat models. The C4 phenol was found to be the most active metabo­lite, and modication of this molecule resulted in identication of a potent compound with CAI activity. The ID50 of these compounds in rat model was calculated as 0.0015 mg/Kg and 0.05 mg/Kg. Importantly, a dose–response study demonstrated that an active β-lactam was about 400 times more potent than another active compound in this series.
Rosenblum et al.40 synthesized an orally active 2-azetidinone by considering potential metabolism sites. The SAR studies were focused on investigating the effects of aromatic hydroxylation and benzylic oxidation of the C3 side chain on CAI activity. The effects of uorine on various inhibitors were also investigated. The presence of p-OH or dihydroxy in the aromatic group of the C3 side chain lowered the CAI activity. Further, 3S benzylic OH group on C3 side chain of β-lactam demonstrated better CAI activ­ity than the 3R isomer. In case of C3 side chain, ketone demonstrated activity. Importantly, uorine group was introduced because of its small bulk and less steric nature. This led to the discovery of a unique compound, 1-(4-uorophenyl)-(3R)-[3-(4-uorophenyl)-(3S)-hydroxypropyl]-(4S)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2­azetidinone (SCH 58235). This β-lactam was successful in lowering total plasma cholesterol level in humans and showed a 50-fold increase in CAI activity in comparison to its optical isomer.

66 Chemistry and Biology of Beta-Lactams

Some structural modications were performed on C4 aryl substituent of a potent CAI agent by Vaccaro et al.41 It was found that β-lactam with 2’,4’-dimethoxyphenyl at C4 demonstrated CAI activity, while 2’,4’,6’-trimethoxyphenyl compound was inactive. An introduction of a hydroxyl group enhanced the CAI potency. The most potent β-lactam (ED50 0.005 mg/Kg/day) with 2’,4’-dihydroxyphenyl substituent at C4 was found to be 440 times more active than other compounds.
Burnett et al.42 synthesized a series of radioiodinated β-lactam analogues as enantiomers. These syn­thesized radioiodinated analogues were screened for in vivo CAI activity. The tests identied a few com­pounds. Some of these β-lactams were biochemical tools for binding and localization studies.
Liu et al.43 reported the synthesis of chiral C4 triuoromethyl-substituted trans-β-lactam derivatives as analogues of ezetimibe. Cholesterol absorption inhibitory effects of these β-lactams were investigated in Caco-2 cells. It was suggested that 4-CF3-β-lactam demonstrated inhibitory activity like ezetimibe. But replacement of other groups reduced the CAI activity.
Mckittrick et al.44 prepared a series of β-lactams by carrying out alteration at the C3 side chain to investigate the CAI activity. For this reason, 1’-hydroxyl group was added on C3 side chain. It was found that an (S)-conguration at C4 is necessary.31 Interestingly, this study identied the rst example of cis­1’(R)-β-lactam derivative (ED50 0.4 mg/Kg/day), which showed higher activity in comparison to trans­isomer. Moreover, this β-lactam was also more active than deshydroxy analogue (ED50 4 mg/Kg/day).
Kirkup et al.45 prepared 2-azetidinone based on reported SAR studies.31 The authors modied the C1’ and C3’ positions of β-lactams and incorporated electron-withdrawing uorine at N1 aryl group. Cholesterol-fed hamster model-based evaluation indicated 1’-(S)-trans-β -lactam (SCH 57939) with high potency and enhanced metabolic stability. The increased metabolic stabilities were due to the replace­ment of labile p-methoxyphenyl at N1 and C4 with F and OH, respectively.
A series of 2-azetidinone derivatives were prepared and screened for CAI activity by Dugar et al.46 On the basis of metabolism study, aryl group on C3 was modied by changing different p-substituted groups. It was found that p-uoro analogue showed maximum CAI activity in cholesterol-fed hamster model. Further, cholesterol-fed hamster and rhesus monkey assay identied equipotent molecules with high metabolic stability.
Huang et al.47 have synthesized 14 β-lactam derivatives for CAI activity in rats. The polarity of the ezetimibe analogues was increased by introducing amide group in C3 position. In addition, additional phenyl groups were added to improve the hydrophobicity for better drug–receptor interactions. The CAI activity was measured in cholesterol-fed hamster model. The results were compared with ezetimibe.
A stereocontrolled synthesis of N-polyaromatic-substituted β-lactam derivatives was described by Banik et al.48 All the products were obtained in trans-conguration. These β-lactams were tested for anticancer activities against nine cancer cell lines, and results were compared with clinically active medicine, cisplatin. The results demonstrated that phenanthrene- and chrysene-substituted 3-acetoxy-
β-lactams were equipotent to cisplatin against breast cancer cell line. In case of colon cancer cell line, β-lactam was found to be three times more potent than cisplatin. Further, naphthalene, anthracene, and
pyrene derivatives showed a very low anticancer activity, while 3-phenoxy- and 3-phthalimido-β-lactams were inactive. In case of ovarian cancer cell line, the potent β-lactam and cis-platin exhibited similar anticancer activity.
In continuation of the above work,49 Banik et al. developed a strategy for asymmetric synthesis of N-polyaromatic-substituted 2-azetidinones using chiral carbohydrates as ketene precursors. Optically active β-lactams were tested against several human cancer cell lines for anticancer activity using cis- platin and a racemic anticancer β-lactam as positive controls. This study demonstrated that optically active β-lactam, the positive isomer, is more potent than the racemic β-lactam. Further, the isomer that had negative rotation exhibited reduced anticancer activity than the isomer which had positive optical rotation (Figure 2 .14).
Sun et al.50 synthesized 1,4-diaryl-substituted 3-acetoxy/hydroxy-2-azetidinones as conformationally restricted combretastatin A-4 (CA4) analogues. These β-lactams were tested against various normal and tumor cell lines for cytotoxicity. Some of these β-lactams showed cytotoxic activities against vari­ous cancer cell lines in comparison to normal cells. The best results were observed for β-lactams with p-methoxyphenyl, 4-methoxy-3-nitrophenyl, and 4-methoxy-3-aminophenyl substituents at C4 (IC50 25–74 nM) against human neuroblastoma cells. Further, a β-lactam was tested for inhibitory effects

on tubulin polymerization and found to show IC50 value of 5 μM. These results were also veried by molecular modeling studies. The active β-lactam was found to be effective against rat pancreatic tumor. The presence of 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl ring at N1 in β-lactams was essential for activity.
Tripodi et al.51 reported the synthesis of 1,4-diaryl-substituted 3-hydroxy/amino-azetidin-2-ones. These compounds were screened for antiproliferative activity and studied for apoptosis induction as well as for cell cycle effects. It was found that racemic and (+)-form of trans-β-lactam showed maximum cytotoxicity (IC50 3–13 nM) against duodenal adenocarcinoma cells. This was also active against various colon cancer cell lines. The antiproliferative activity was induced by tubulin polymerization inhibition followed by G2/M arrest leading to apoptosis.
Jarrahpour et al.52 carried out diastereoselective asymmetric synthesis of β-lactams with exclusive for­mation of the cis-isomer. The double asymmetric induction resulted in complete cis-diastereoselectivity via cycloaddition between chiral ketene and chiral imine. These β-lactam derivatives were screened against P. falciparum (K14 resistant strain) for antimalarial activity. Some of them showed moderate to excellent antimalarial activity (IC50 8–50 μM). In addition, β-lactams having 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-bro­mophenyl, 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl, and naphthyl showed excellent antimalarial activity (IC50 11 μM) in comparison to that of chloroquinine (IC50 11 μM).
A series of 3-acylamino-β-lactams were prepared and tested for inhibitory activity against cyste­ine proteases (cathepsins B, K, L, and S).53 These β-lactam derivatives showed better potency against cathepsins L and K. They were also selective inhibitors of cathepsins (papain type) as compared to serine proteases. It was also seen that compounds with OR, OPh, OCOR, and SPh at C4 demonstrated inhibitory activity. Moreover, in case of alkoxy substituents, linear groups showed better results. The stereochemistry of the C4 substituent affected the inhibitory activity. For example, the C4 phenylthio group with trans-isomer was more potent, while C4 phenoxy group with cis-conguration showed better activity. The most potent β-lactam derivative exhibited IC50 values in subnanomolar range (IC50 0.1 nM against cathepsin L) (Figu r e 2.15).

FIGURE 2.15 3-Amino/acylamino-derived β-lactams.
Setti et al.54 synthesized and evaluated a series of 3,4-disubstituted β-lactams for inhibitory activity against various cysteine proteases. A few such compounds exhibited excellent selectivity for differ­ent cathepsins. Importantly, β-lactam with C4 phenoxy group in trans-orientation demonstrated better potency with no effect on selectivity. However, another β-lactam from this group was found to be selec­tive for cathepsin K with IC50 value of 0.38 μM (IC50 for B, L, and K is 140, 3.4, and 33 μM). On the basis of P2 element study, it was disclosed that cyclic moieties are essential P2 elements, and it had a crucial role towards selectivity (mainly Cat L and Cat S).
Woulfe and Miller55 reported the synthesis and antimicrobial evaluation of [(3(S)-(ac ylami no)-2 -oxo- 1-aze tidin yl)ox y]ace tic acid derivatives. The antibacterial activity was screened against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. The compounds showed antimicrobial activity against Gram­negative bacteria, which is due to N1–O bond activation. An introduction of alkyl groups on oxyacetic acid moiety on N1 decreased the potency.
A series of 3-amino-β-lactam derivatives were synthesized and tested as potent anti-inammatory agents.56 Various structural and stereochemical factors were required for N-Acylethanolamine Acid Amidase (NAAA) inhibition. For this purpose, the inuence of size and shape of the C3 carbamic acid ester side chain in addition to mono/disubstitution at C4 of β-lactam ring was investigated. The (S)­conguration at C3, trans-vicinal position, length of aliphatic side chain, and lipophilic groups helped to enhance the potency. But gem-dimethyl at C3 and oxygen atom in side chain had a detrimental effect. This study identied a novel β-lactam derivative (IC50 0.085 ± 0.011 μM and >370-fold selectivity against h-Ac) with NAAA inhibitory activity, improved stability, and drug-like prole.
Jarrahpour et al.57 reported the synthesis of mono- and bicyclic β-lactams via asymmetric cycload­dition. The asymmetric induction was performed by using chiral amino acid (D-phenylalanine ethyl ester)-derived Schiff’s bases. These compounds were screened against a panel of Gram-positive and

Gram-negative bacterial strains (B. subtilis, S. citrus, E. coli, K. pneumoniae). The results were com­pared with ampicillin and gentamycin. Some of the β-lactams (R3 =Bz, CH2OPh) demonstrated activity against B. subtilis and S. citrus, while rest of the compounds were totally inactive against various strains.
Drazic et al.58 described the synthesis and biological evaluation of two new trans-(3R,4R)-amino­β-lactams along with their diastereomeric mixtures as ezetimibe bioisosteres. These compounds were screened for cytotoxicity and potential cholesterol absorption inhibitory activity. Importantly, in vitro cholesterol absorption inhibition was observed in hNPC1L1/MDCKII cells. Moreover, these β-lactams reduced cholesterol reduction in mice. The reduction caused by diastereomeric mixtures was found to be comparable with that of ezetimibe.
Several β-lactam siderophore analogues were synthesized, and antimicrobial activities were evaluated by McKee et al.59 Monocyclic (oxamazin) and bicyclic (carbacephalosporin) β-lactams were separately linked to dihydroxy benzoyl derivatives of spermidine and lysine. These investigations were performed to enhance the penetration of β-lactam antibiotics in bacterial cell wall using iron chelators (catechol siderophore). A β-lactam showed antimicrobial activity against E. coli X580. The siderophore alone was not active against E. coli X580. In addition, the potential of iron transport as a drug delivery system was further elaborated in this study.
Dolence et al.60 incorporated N5-acetyl-N5-hydroxy-L-ornithyl-N5-acetyl-N5-hydroxy-L-ornithyl-N5­acetyl-N5-hydroxy-L-ornithine as a carrier substructure into β-lactam antibiotics (carbacephalosporin and oxamazin) to afford β-lactam conjugates. The antimicrobial evaluation of these conjugates was con­ducted. The potential as iron transport system in drug delivery was discussed. A β-lactam conjugate displayed antimicrobial activity against Salmonella X514, but it was poorly active against other tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. In contrast, oxamazin analogues were found to be inactive.
Broccolo et al.61 carried out synthesis of 4-alkylidene-β-lactams and evaluated their antibacterial activity against multi-drug-resistant bacterial strains. The designing of these compounds was done using molecular modeling and QSAR-based studies. The active β-lactams showed excellent MIC values (0.25– 32 mg/L). It was found in the results that β-lactams with OMe and phenolic OH group showed better activity, while carboxylic group resulted in decreased activity.
Cainelli et al.62 synthesized 4-alkylidene-β-lactam derivatives and investigated inhibitory activity against leukocyte elastases and gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) using chromogenic substrates and gelatine-zymographic assay methods. The SAR studies were conducted by varying different substituents at N1, C3, and C4. The results showed that the presence of OH in place of OTBS lowered the potency against LE. In addition, the absence of C3 substituent lowered the activity against LE but improved the selective inhibition against MMP-2. Moreover, β-lactam with (E)-conguration at C4 gave better potency in comparison to (Z)-conguration. Interestingly, N-acyl-β-lactams (IC50 4 μM) showed better activity than N-acetyl and N-carbobenzyloxy against LE but were inactive against gelatinases. The C4 unsaturation on β-lactam was crucial for biological activity. The N-unsubstituted-β-lactam analogue with OH substituent showed activity against MMP-9 (IC50 150 μM).
Following the previous study,63 a series of monocyclic 4-alkylidene-2-azetidinones anchored with polyphenolic moieties were developed.59 The inuence of different substitutions on β-lactam ring towards inhibition of HLE and matrix metalloproteases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) was investigated. It was found that N-galloyl-β-lactam showed maximum activity (IC50 0.5 μM) against HLE, and N-benzoyl-β-lactam with arylation on C3 hydroxy side chain had IC50 of 4 μM (Figure 2.16).
Harsha et al.64 synthesized monocyclic azetidin-2-one derivatives starting from anthranilic acid using ketene-imine cycloaddition and screened for in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity against S. aureus, A. niger, and E. coli. The results were compared with gentamycin and uconazole as standard compounds. β-Lactam having o-hydroxyphenyl at C4 resulted in moderate to very good antimicrobial activ it y.
Iodination of 2-hydroxy-5-phenylbenzaldehyde and then treatment with aromatic amines afforded Schiff’s bases. These on cyclocondensation with chloroacetyl chloride yielded a novel series of iodo­hydroxy biphenyl-substituted 2-azetidinones.65 All the new compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity against E. coli, X. citri, E. carotovora, and B. subtilis and were found to be active.
Chhajed et al.66 synthesized 8-hydroxylquinoline-substituted 3-chloro-β-lactams and evaluated them for antilarial activity. The synthesized scaffolds were screened for in vitro antilarial activity against

B. malayi by measuring the percent loss of motility. The β-lactam having p-methoxyphenyl and methyl groups at C4 resulted in 91% and 67% loss of motility, respectively, at a concentration of 60 mg/mL. The observed activity was supported by molecular modeling studies carried out in the active site of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzyme.
Subudhi and Ghosh67 synthesized several sulfanil amide-derived heterocyclic compounds including
β-lactams. Then, in vitro antibacterial evaluation against S. aureus, E. coli, E. faecalis, and P. aerugi­nosa was conducted, and results were compared with nitrofurantoin and ciprooxacin as positive con-
trols. β-Lactam demonstrated good antibacterial activity comparable to that of nitrofurantoin but very less as compared to that of ciprooxacin.
A series of diversely substituted 4-[3- chlor o-4-s ubsti tuted pheny l-2-o xo-az etidi n-1-y l] benzoic acids were prepared via cycloaddition by Pawar et al.68 These β-lactam derivatives were tested for in vivo anticonvulsant activity using maximal electric shock (MES) method, and neurotoxicity study was also carried out. The β-lactam having p-chlorophenyl and 4-hydroxyphenyl substituents exhibited anticon­vulsant activity comparable to that standard drug (diazepam). Further, β-lactams having phenyl, cin­namyl, and 4-dimethylaminophenyl showed neurotoxicity.
Chimento et al.69 synthesized monocyclic 2-azetidinone derivatives as resveratrol analogues and screened them for potential antiproliferative activity on human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7 and SkBr3). One of the β-lactams displayed antitumor activity and better bioavailability than resveratrol (Fig u re 2.17 ).
Veinberg et al.70 synthesized a series of 3,4-disubstituted and 1,3,4-trisubstituted β-lactams and studied their in vitro anticancer activity against human brosarcoma and mouse hepatoma. The results showed that compounds with 2-acetoxybenzoyloxymethyl and 2,2-dicyanovinyl at C4 of β-lactams demonstrated best potency against various cancer cells in this series (Figure 2.18).
A series of 4-aminobenzoic acid-derived β-lactams were prepared by Sugumaran et al.71 The new compounds were evaluated against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans. The β-lactams with 4-dimeth­ylaminophenyl and 4-hydroxyphenyl showed maximum antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E. coli. All these compounds were found to be less active than ciprooxacin and ketoconazole.
Gowri et al.72 conducted in silico and ex vivo studies on β-lactam against C. albicans to focus on the mechanism of action. The MIC was signicantly improved when β-lactam was used with nystatin or uconazole. The in silico studies demonstrated that the inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis is due to combining of the β-lactam in the active site of 14-α-demethylase. Further, it was observed that β-lactam inhibits the growth of C. albicans via inhibition of cAMP pathway.
Synthesis and antimicrobial screening of monocyclic β-lactam were reported by Singh et al.73 The β-lactams were prepared by the treatment of 2-diazo-1,2-diarylethanone-generated ketene with N-salicylideneamines. These compounds were tested in vitro against bacterial and fungal strains. The β-lactam derivatives were found to be active against bacterial strains and showed similar results against
