Abstract

The invention provides novel &bgr;-lactamase inhibitors, which are structurally unrelated to the natural product and semi-synthetic &bgr;-lactamase inhibitors presently available, and which do not possess &bgr;-lactam pharmacophore. These new inhibitors are fully synthetic, allowing ready access to a wide variety of structurally related analogs. Certain embodiments of these new inhibitors also bind bacterial DD-peptidases, thus potentially acting both as &bgr;-lactamase inhibitors and as antibiotics.
