Resumen:
    The 2–oxoazetidinylacetate sodium salt was synthesized as a model of a minimal β–lactam drug. This compound and the monobactam aztreonam were assayed as substrates of the Metallo–β–lactamase BcII. None of them was hydrolyzed by the enzyme. While the azetidinone was not able to bind BcII, aztreonam was shown to bind in a non productive mode. These results provide an explanation for the unability of Metallo–β–lactamases to inactive monobactams and give some clues for inhibitor design.
