A series of diaroyl phosphates was employed to assess the general reactivity of this class of molecule against classical class A and class C beta-lactamases. The compounds were found, in general, to be inhibitory substrates of both classes of enzyme. In each case, they reacted rapidly with the enzyme (10(4) to 10(6) s(-1) M(-1)) to yield transiently stable intermediates, most likely acyl-enzymes, which slowly (10(-3) to 10(-1) s(-1)) regenerated free enzyme. In certain cases, side branches from ...[more]
