A highly efficient and mild transamidation of amides with amines co-catalysed by borinic acid and acetic acid has been reported. A wide range of functionalised formamides was synthesized in excellent yields, including important chiral α-amino acid derivatives, with minor racemisation being observed. Experiments suggested that the reaction rely on a cooperative catalysis involving an enhanced boron-derived Lewis acidity rather than an improved Brønsted acidity of acetic acid.

Various protecting groups have been developed for boronic acids, mostly based on diols. Alternatives include trifluoroborates and amine complexes, which offer easier synthesis and release under milder conditions. We present here a new strategy involving photocleavable protecting groups for boronic and borinic acids, based on the 2-nitrobenzyl motif.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the efficacy and resistance mechanisms of cefiderocol and new β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations against strains of Enterobacterales producing multiple carbapenemases, specifically focusing on clinical samples from Spanish hospitals collected between 2017 and 2022.
- The analysis involved 57 isolates, where minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined for various antibiotics, and whole-genome sequencing was utilized to identify genetic resistance factors.
- Ceftazidime/avibactam, imipenem/relebactam, and meropenem/vaborbactam showed the least activity, while combinations like aztreonam/avibactam and cefepime/zidebactam were

Taniborbactam (formerly VNRX-5133) is a novel, investigational boronic acid β-lactamase inhibitor. The combination of cefepime (FEP) with taniborbactam is active against carrying class A, B, C, and/or D enzymes. We assessed the activity of FEP-taniborbactam against clinical strains carrying ( = 50, 100%), of which 78% harbored at least one extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL).

Objectives: Taniborbactam is a boronate-based β-lactamase inhibitor in clinical development in combination with cefepime.
Methods: Cefepime-taniborbactam and comparator broth microdilution MICs were determined for patient isolates of Enterobacterales (n = 20 725) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 7919) collected in 59 countries from 2018 to 2022. Taniborbactam was tested at a fixed concentration of 4 mg/L.
