Himmelbauer, D. (2016). New synthesis pathways for a ß-lactamase inhibitor [Diploma Thesis, Technische Universität Wien]. reposiTUm. https://doi.org/10.34726/hss.2016.36381
Bacterial strains came under enormous pressure due the overuse of ß-lactam antibiotics. In a selective process only the resistant strains survived and new ß-lactamase resistances were formed. Avibactam is the first non-ß-lactam ß-lactamase inhibitor which is used clinically since more than 20 years. Compared to its predecessors it has unique properties and a wider scope of activity against ß-lactamases. By developing a new synthetic route for avibactam, the originator process patent can be circumvented and it is possible to be the first generic company on the market.
