- Azetidinimines as a novel series of non-covalent broad-spectrum inhibitors of β-lactamases with submicromolar activities against carbapenemases KPC-2 (class A), NDM-1 (class B) and OXA-48 (class D)
-
The occurrence of resistances in Gram negative bacteria is steadily increasing to reach extremely worrying levels and one of the main causes of resistance is the massive spread of very efficient β-lactamases which render most β-lactam antibiotics useless. Herein, we report the development of a series of imino-analogues of β-lactams (namely azetidinimines) as efficient non-covalent inhibitors of β-lactamases. Despite the structural and mechanistic differences between serine-β-lactamases KPC-2 and OXA-48 and metallo-β-lactamase NDM-1, all three enzymes can be inhibited at a submicromolar level by compound 7dfm, which can also repotentiate imipenem against a resistant strain of Escherichia coli expressing NDM-1. We show that 7dfm can efficiently inhibit not only the three main clinically-relevant carbapenemases of Ambler classes A (KPC-2), B (NDM-1) and D (OXA-48) with Ki's below 0.3 μM, but also the cephalosporinase CMY-2 (class C, 86% inhibition at 10 μM). Our results pave the way for the development of a new structurally original family of non-covalent broad-spectrum inhibitors of β-lactamases.

- Rhodium catalyzed multicomponent dehydrogenative annulation: one-step construction of isoindole derivatives
-
A strategy for one-pot synthesis of isoindoles is describedviaa catalytic multicomponent dehydrogenative annulation of diarylimines, vinyl ketones and simple amines. In the presence of a rhodium catalyst and Cu oxidant, four C-H and two N-H bonds are activated along with the formation of one new C-C and two new C-N bonds, leading to a series of isoindole derivatives in good to very high isolated yields.

- Rhodium-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Annulation of N-Arylmethanimines with Vinylene Carbonate for Synthesizing Quinolines
-
Here we report a novel Rh-catalyzed C-H/C-H alkenylation of N-arylmethanimines with vinylene carbonate acting as a vinylene unit. Forty examples of C3,C4-nonsubstituted quinolines were achieved from commercially available starting materials. This identified process features an exceedingly simple system, a lower loading of catalyst, and the capacity for postfunctionalization with bioactive molecules.
