[more ▼] 4-(Alkylamino)carbonyl-1-(alkoxy)carbonyl-2-azetidinones (9-11) have been prepared in five steps from 4-(benzyloxy)carbonyl-1-(t-butyidimethyl)silyl-2-azetidinone (1). The P-lactam reactivity of 9 has been established by H-1 NMR experiment. Compound 11 was a good reversible inhibitor of PPE and HLE. Based on theoretical design, series of 2-azetidinones (12-17) and 4(alkoxy)carbonyl-2-azetidinones (18-21) bearing various carbonyl (ester, thiolester, amide) and thiocarbonyl (thioamide) functionalities at position N1 were similarly prepared. In the absence of C4-substituent, the compounds were inactive against elastases. On the other hand, 4-(benzyloxy)carbonyl-1-(ethylthioxy)carbonyl-2-azetidinone (19) and 4-(benzyloxy)carbonyl-1-(benzylamino)-thiocarbonyl-2-azetidinone (21) were both good reversible inhibitors, but acting most probably via different mechanisms (enzymic processing of the exocyclic ester function or beta-lactam ring opening).

[more ▼] A series of 1,4-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)azetidin-2-ones, designed as potential suicide-inhibitors of serine proteases, has been synthesized and evaluated against porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE). The most active compound (K(i)similar to10 muM; reversible inhibitor) was equipped with phenethyloxycarbonyl and benzyloxycarbonyl side-chains at positions N1 and C4, respectively, with the (S)-configuration. H-1 NMR spectroscopic analysis of the reaction mixtures showed that the ester function is preferentially hydrolyzed, in both chemical and enzyme-catalyzed reactions, with regard to the azetidinone and urethane functions. Considering the three potentially sensitive carbonyl functions and the two stereoisomers, ab initio calculations were performed to determine the energetic barriers required to reach the transition state structures of hydrolysis in a model of the enzyme pocket.
