QPX7728
1 min read

QPX7728 is an ultrabroad-spectrum beta-lactamase inhibitor with activity against both serine and zinc metallo-beta-lactamases, in contrast to approved beta-lactamase inhibitors such as relebactam which are only active against serine metalloproteases. Interestingly, the boron of the molecule coordinates to serine hydroxyl groups in serine beta-lactamases, whereas it coordinates as a boronate ligand to the zinc centers of metallo-beta-lactamases.
