Pathogenic bacteria that produce metallo-b-lactamases (MBLs) are emerging as a new challenge to the medical community. These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of a wide spectrum of b-lactams, including carbapenems such as imipenem, some of which are coded in transferable plasmids.[1, 2] Among the currently known MBLs, IMP-1, a member of subclass B1, which is encoded by the blaIMP gene included in the integron structure,[2, 3] rapidly spreads by facile horizontal gene transfer to other bacteria.[4] Moreover, many of the currently used serine b-lactamase inhibitors such as clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam are ineffective against MBLs. Thus, the development of inhibitors of MBLs is important for the continuing application of such widely prescribed b-lactam antibiotics. Several such inhibitors have been reported to date;[5–11] for example, Payne et al. demonstrated [6] that mercaptoacetic acid, a hydrolysis product of mercaptoacetic acid thiol esters that are hydrolyzed by MBLs (b-lactamase II, CfiA, and CphA), binds irreversibly to the enzyme through formation of a disulfide bond with the active site cysteine residue under aerobic conditions, as evidenced
