EP 2 831 069 B1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 2 831 069 B1 Description TECHNICAL FIELD 5 [0001] This disclosure is directed to β-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) which are effective as inhibitors ofβ -lactamases and, when used in combination with β-lactam antibiotics are useful in the treatment of bacterial infections. The compounds when combined with a β-lactam antibiotic are effective in treating infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to β- lactam antibiotics due to the presence ofβ -lactamases. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, methods of using such compounds, and processes for preparing such compounds are also disclosed. 10 BACKGROUND [0002] Bacterial resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, especially in Gram-negative bacteria, is most commonly mediated by β-lactamases. β-lactamases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of theβ -lactam ring, which inactivates the 15 antibacterial activity of the β-lactam antibiotic and allows the bacteria to become resistant. Inhibition of the β-lactamase with a BLI slows or prevents degradation of the β-lactam antibiotic and restores β-lactam antibiotic susceptibility to β- lactamase producing bacteria. Many of these β-lactamases are not effectively inhibited by BLIs currently on the market rendering the β-lactam antibiotics ineffective in treating bacteria that produce these β-lactamases. There is an urgent need for novel BLIs that inhibit β-lactamases that are not effectively inhibited by the current clinical BLIs (e.g. KPC, class 20 C and class D β-lactamases) and that could be used in combination with β-lactam antibiotics to treat infections caused by β-lactam resistant bacteria.
