  • Patent number: 8487093
    Abstract: Substituted bicyclic beta-lactams of Formula I: (I), are ?-lactamase inhibitors, wherein a, X, R1 and R2 are defined herein. The compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful in the treatment of bacterial infections in combination with ?-lactam antibiotics. In particular, the compounds can be employed with a ?-lactam antibiotics (e.g., imipenem, piperacillin, or ceftazidime) against microorganisms resistant to ?-lactam antibiotics due to the presence of the ?-lactamases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 15, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2013
    Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.
    Inventors: Timothy A. Blizzard, Helen Chen, Candido Gude, Jeffrey D. Hermes, Jason Imbriglio, Seongkon Kim, Jane Y. Wu, Christopher J. Mortko, Ian Mangion, Nelo Rivera, Rebecca T. Ruck, Michael Shevlin
  • Patent number: 8440643
    Abstract: This invention provides novel ?-lactamase inhibitors of the aryl- and heteroaryl-sulfonamidomethylphosphonate monoester class having nitrogen-based cations or quarternary ammomium groups. The compounds inhibit three classes of ?-lactamases and synergize the antibacterial effects of ?-lactam antibiotics (e.g., imipenem and ceftazimdime) against those micro-organisms normally resistant to the ?-lactam antibiotics as a result of the presence of the ?-lactamases.

  • Publication number: 20100009957
    Abstract: A class of 7-oxo-2,6-diazabicyclo-[3.2.0]-heptane-6-sulfonic acid compounds substituted at the two position of the bicyclic ring with a heterocyclylaminocarbonyl group or a carbocyclylaminocarbonyl group are ?-lactamase inhibitors. The compounds and their prodrugs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful in the treatment of bacterial infections in combination with ?-lactam antibiotics. In particular, the compounds are suitable for use with ?-lactam antibiotics (e.g., imipenem and ceftazidime) against micro-organisms resistant to ?-lactam antibiotics due to the presence of the ?-lactamases.
