Abstract
While β-lactam antibiotics remain among the most commonly prescribed pharmaceutical products, their effectiveness is currently threatened by the development of bacterial resistance. One key resistance mechanism is the ability to destroy the antibiotic through utilization of one or more types of β-lactamase. An effective countermeasure is to employ a combination product, consisting of both a β-lactam antibiotic and a β- lactamase inhibitor. Unfortunately, currently available inhibitors narrowly target only class A β-lactamases. This review will detail our research, directed toward the development of a useful broad-spectrum β-lactamase inhibitor. In the process, we have discovered new inhibitors capable of simultaneously inactivating class A, C, and D β-lactamase, produced conjugate siderophore / β-lactamase inhibitors, and explored the SARs of tunable, cephalosporin-derived β-lactamase inactivators. Useful synthetic methodology will be described, which simplifies the large scale production of many known inhibitors and which allows the rapid preparation of libraries of prospective inhibitors.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
