PBP2 is a selective inducer of G-quadruplex structures from the unstructured single-stranded DNA conformations. PBP2 downregulates BCL-2 gene expression in cancer cells.
FPI-1523, a derivative of Avibactam, is a potent inhibitor of β-lactamase enzymes. It has Kd values of 4 nM and 34 nM for CTX-M-15 and OXA-48, respectively. Additionally, FPI-1523 inhibits PBP2 with an IC50 of 3.2 μM and demonstrates significant antimicrobial activity.
