General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

7-Aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) can be used as a starting material to synthesize:
  • Cefotaxime by acylation reaction with S-benzothiazol-2-yl(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)(methoxyimino)thioacetate (MAEM) in the presence of triethylamine.
  • Cefpodoxime proxetil, a third-generation antibiotic via cefotaxime intermediate.
  • Sodium 3′-substituted cephalosporanate sulfone derivatives as potential inhibitors of β-lactamase.

Potent inhibitor of bacterial (S. aureus) β-lactamase.

Site-directed protein immobilization allows the homogeneous orientation of proteins with high retention of activity, which is advantageous for many applications. Here, we report a facile, specific, and efficient strategy based on the SpyTag-SpyCatcher chemistry. Two SpyTag-fused model proteins, that is
