3WXC - PubMed Abstract: 
3-(4-Hydroxypiperidine-1-yl) phthalic acid 1 shows potent inhibitory activity against metallo-β-lactamase, which is known to inactivate β-lactam antibiotics such as carbapenems. Here, the structure of co-crystals of the metallo-β-lactamase IMP-1 and 1 was first analyzed by X-ray crystallography, and then used for structure-based drug design. Four novel compounds bearing substituents at the 6-position were synthesized to produce 3,6-disubstituted phthalic acid derivatives, and their IMP-1 inhibitory activity and synergistic effect with the carbapenem biapenem (BIPM) were evaluated. 3,6-Disubstituted phthalic acid derivatives showed potent IMP-1 inhibitory activity. In particular, compound 13 showed 10-fold higher IMP-1 inhibitory activity as compared with the parent derivative 1.
