Abstract :
[en] The 8-thioxocephalosporins are poor substrates for the B. cereus metallo beta-lactamase (k(cat)/K-m = 61.4 M-1 s(-1)) and act as weak competitive inhibitors (K-i similar to 700 muM). The hydrolysis product of thioxocephalosporin, a thioacid, also inhibits the enzyme competitively with a K-i = 96 muM, whereas the cyclic thioxo-piperazinedione, formed by intramolecular aminolysis of thioxo-cephalexin has a K-i of 29 muM.
