The β-lactamase enzyme is a type of enzyme that hydrolyzes β-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillin. This process is executed by a variety of enzymes, including penicillinases and cephalosporinases. The β-lactamase enzyme can be inhibited by a variety of strategies, including chemoenzymatic synthesis and synthetic methods. Chemoenzymatic synthesis involves the use of chemical catalysts to produce desired compounds in an efficient manner, while synthetic methods are used for large-scale production. Research has shown that chemoenzymatic synthesis is more cost-effective than synthetic methods when implemented at lower quantities. Ethyl 5-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylate (EHPC) is an example of a β-lactamase inhibitor that was synthesized using chemoenzymatic techniques. It binds to the active site of the enzyme and blocks it from binding to the antibiotic
