Ceftazidime–avibactam(CAZ–AVI) is a novel cephalosporin/β-lactamase inhibitor combination offering an important advance in the treatment of CRO infections. CAZ–AVI has been reported to inhibit the activities of Ambler classes A, C, and some class D enzymes. However, bacterial resistance has been emerging shortly after the introduction of this combination in clinical use, with an increasing trend. Understanding these resistance mechanisms is crucial for guiding the development of novel treatments and aiding in the prediction of underlying resistance mechanisms. This review aims to systematically summarize the epidemiology of CAZ–AVI-resistant strains and recently identified resistance mechanisms of CAZ–AVI, with a focus on the production of β-lactamase variants, the hyperexpression of β-lactamases, reduced permeability, and overexpressed efflux pumps. The various mechanisms of CAZ–AVI resistance that have emerged within a short timescale emphasize the need to optimize the use of current agents, as well as the necessity for the surveillance of CAZ–AVI-resistant pathogens.展开更多

Our approach relied on the four step-economical synthetic methods developed in our laboratory:(1) the cis-diastereoselective reductive dehydroxylation of hemiaminals;(2) the direct amide/lactam reductive alkylation;(3) the one-pot N,O-bisdebenzylation-N-methylation; and(4) the one-step synthesis of malimide from malic acid. Both total syntheses are quite concise, which have been achieved in six steps, and gave overall yields of 25.7% and 27.6%, respectively.展开更多

B ZSM 5 derived titanosilicalite (Ti ZSM 5) exhibits catalytic performances comparable to hydrothermally synthesized titanosilicalite (TS 1), much better than B ZSM 5 and Al ZSM 5. The effect of reaction conditions (solvent, feed space velocity, and water) on the catalytic performance of Ti ZSM 5 is studied. It is found that a quantitative relationship exists among the feed space velocity, the reaction time, and the CHO constant conversion. Ethanol or methanol as solvent shows higher activity, lactam selectivity, and stability than benzene and n hexanol. The addition of water to the rearrangement with a maximum amount of 1.0 mole per mole CHO results in the increase of CHO conversion while no meaningful changes in lactam selectivity and stability are observed.展开更多
