Halogen-Substituted Triazolethioacetamides as a Potent Skeleton for the Development of Metallo-β-Lactamase Inhibitors

Metallo-β-lactamases (MβLs) are the target enzymes of β-lactam antibiotic resistance, and there are no effective inhibitors against MβLs available for clinic so far. In this study, thirteen halogen-substituted triazolethioacetamides were designed and synthesized a...
