Although it has been known that organometallic $\beta$-lactam compounds improve the resistance to $\beta$-lactamases as well as their pharmacological activities, only a few results on organometallic $\beta$-lactam antibiotics were reported. In the course of our extensive study on the development of new cephalosporins, we were interested in organotin compounds since they show some biological activities.

Pig Liver Esterase (PLE) which has been known to cleave a broad range of diesters to prepare stereoselective enantiomers is applied to hydrolysis of ${\beta}-lactam$ esters imparting the corresponding acids in various yields.

2-(Azetidin-2-one-1-yl)-3-phenylpropionic acid and 2-(azetidin-2-thione-1-yl)-3-phenylpropionic acid were designed as potential active site directed inactivators for carboxypeptidase A, but shown to be they are competitive reversible inhibitors for the enzyme. The observation was somewhat surprising, but is not unexpected considering the recent report of Page who questioned the validity of the generally believed notion that $\beta-lactam$ ring is highly unstable.

A generic force field approach has been applied to geometry optimization of penam and cephem crystals. The crystalline state energy and force evaluation with the universal force field (MMFF: Merck Molecular Force Field) results in good agreements with the crystallographic data. Bond lengths are usually correct to within 0.02 Å and bond angles usually to within 2.5°. The conformation of the β-lactam bicyclic rings in the crystal environment is also well reproduced. The results thus demonstrate the applicability of MMFF to modeling of newer molecular constructs in condensed phase.

New cyclophanes having multilactam linkages were synthesized and characterized. One-pot coupling reaction of 2,6-pyridinedicarbonyl dichloride and a diamine gave a tetralactam, a hexalactam, and a octalactam in good yields. The TLC behaviour, the molecular symmetry shown by 1H NMR spectrum, and the fragmentation patterns shown by FAB mass spectrum of the octalactam support its monocyclic structure.

A gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GC/MS) procedure for the determination of amineptine (dihydro-10, 11-dibenzo[a, d] cycloheptenyl-5-amino-7-heptanoic acid) and its main metabolites in human urine was described. Amineptine has been known to be extensively metabolized by the ${\beta}$-oxidation of the heptanoic side chain with formation of pentanoic side chain metabolite ($C_5$-metabolite), and lactamizarion by internal dehydration of (${\beta}$-oxidized metabolite (${\delta}$-lactam). The detection of these compounds was based on acid hydrolysis, liquid-liquid extraction and trimethylsilylated derivatization of the carboxylic acid group. For the determination of amineptine and its metabolites in biological fluids, selected ions at the m/ 192, molecular ion and one of the characteristic ions were monitored by GC/MS. On the excretion study of amineptine in human urine, 70-90% of amineptine, ${\delta}$-lactam, and $C_5$-metabolite were found to be excreted within 4 hours and their excretion completed within 20 hours.

Molecular orbital calculations at the ab initio, AM1, and PM3 levels have been carried out to investigate the lactam-lactim tautomerism of 1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5- dione(1) and 1,3,4-oxa(or thia)diazolidine-2,5-dione(2, 3). Most stable tautomer in 1 compound has been calculated to be a dilactam 1a and next one is lactam-lactim 1b. The relative energies between 1a and 1b are 4.1~12.6 kcal/mol depending on computational methods. The optimized 1a structure at ab initio level is in good agreement with X-ray structure. While the stabilities of 2 tautomers are in order of 2a>2b>2c, the stabilities of 3 tautomers are dependent on methods. According to 3-21G basis set, 3a tautomer is more stable by 4.9 kcal/mol over 3b tautomer. In contrast, the heat of formation of 3a at AM1 is higher by 2.71 kcal/mol than 3b.

When (3R,4R)-1-(1-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-methyl-1-propenyl)-4-mercapto-3-phenylacetamidoazetidin-2-one(8) was reacted with carbon disulfide and alkyl halides in the presence of triethylamine, the ${\beta}$-lactam ring was cleaved to give (Z)-and (E)-1-alkylthio-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-6-methyl-2-phenylacetamido-4-aza-1,5-heptadien-3-one (13-16) or 2-benzyl-4-(3-benzyloxycarbonyl-4-methyl-1-oxo-2-aza-3-pentenyl)thiazole(17).
