7-phenoxyacetamidocephalosporanic acid (1)

[0293] Phenoxyacetic acid (0.50 g, 3.3 mmol) was dissolved in 5 mL of methylene chloride and the solution was cooled in an ice / water bath. (COCl)2 was added to the solution followed by 3 drops of DMF. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 min in the bath before the solvent was removed in vacua. The residue was dissolved in toluene, which was removed in vacuo. The residue was then dissolved in 5 mL of dioxane and added dropwise to a stirred and ice / water bath-cooled mixture of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (0.60 g, 2.2 mmol), 1 M Et3NH2CO3 buffer (13.5 mL, 13.5 mmol) and dioxane (5 mL). After the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at rt, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in water, which was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in chloroform and loaded onto a silica gel column. The resulting solution was eluted using chloroform:methanol:acetic acid (6:2:0.1). The product-containing fractions were concentra...

[0294]

[0295] 7-Phenoxyacetamidocephalosporanic acid 1 (0.676 g, 1.66 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL of CH3CN. i-Pr2NEt (0.38 mL, 2.2 mmol) and allyl bromide (0.16 mL, 1.8 mmol) were added to the reaction mixture, which was then stirred for 72 h at rt. The solvent was removed in vacuo, dissolved in 30 mL of 5% HCl, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 mL). The combined extracts were washed with water (30 mL), brine (30 mL), and dried over sodium sulfate. After filtering, the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in chloroform and loaded onto a silica gel column, which was eluted using chloroform:ethyl acetate (5:1). The eluate containing the desired product was then evaporated to yield 2 (0.334 g, 45%).

[0298]

[0299] Compound 2 (0.288 g, 0.646 mmol) was dissolved in 5 mL of dry methylene chloride and the solution was cooled in an ice / water bath. Me3Sil (0.20 mL, 1.4 mmol) was added to the cooled solution. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 min in the cooled bath, then stirred for 40 min at rt and diluted with ethyl acetate (80 mL). The solution was washed with 10% sodium thiosulfate (2×30 mL), sat. sodium bicarbonate (2×30 mL), brine (30 mL), and dried over sodium sulfate. After filtering, the solvent was removed in vacuo to yield 4 (0.248 g, 75%).

Abstract

The present invention relates to compounds that are substrates for an enzyme, and upon reaction with the enzyme provide a detectable response, such as an optically detectable response. In particular, the compounds have utility in detecting the presence of a β-lactamase in a sample. In addition to the compounds, methods are disclosed for analyzing a sample for the presence of a β-lactmase, for example, as an indicator of expression of a nucleic acid sequence including a sequence coding for a β-lactmase. Kits are disclosed that include the disclosed compounds and additional components, for example, cells, antibodies, a β-lactmase or instructions for using the components in an assay.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority of U.S. Ser. No. 60 / 538,357, filed Jan. 21, 2004, which disclosure is herein incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This disclosure relates to enzyme substrates that exhibit a detectable response following a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme. Particular embodiments concern substrates that provide detectable optical responses (such as fluorescence changes) when contacted with a β-lactamase [and / or a related enzymes]. The substrates are useful in a variety of fields, including immunology, diagnostics, drug discovery and molecular biology. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] An important mechanism of microbial resistance to β-lactam antibiotics is the production of enzymes known as β-lactamases or cephalosporinases. These enzymes hydrolytically cleave β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins and cephalosporins. This type of resistance can be transferred horizontally by plasmids that are capabl...
