Abstract

A series of novel derivatives of penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide, having a disubstituted methyl group of the formula X-CH-Y at the 6-position, and the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof and the pharmaceutically-acceptable esters thereof readily hydrolyzable in vivo, wherein X is hydroxy, acylated hydroxy or amino and Y is carboxy or esterified carboxy. The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of bacterial beta-lactamases, and they will protect certain beta-lactamase-susceptible beta-lactam antibiotics, e.g. ampicillin, against inactivation by beta-lactamases. Co-administration of a compound of the invention with a beta-lactam antibiotic such as ampicillin to a mammalian subject increases the effectiveness of the beta-lactam antibiotic against infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.
