To fight the increasingly worrying bacterial resistance to antibiotics, the discovery and development of new therapeutics is urgently needed. Here, we report on a new series of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione compounds as inhibitors of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), which represent major resistance determinants to β-lactams, and especially carbapenems, in Gram-negative bacteria. These molecules are stable analogs of 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole-derived Schiff bases, where the hydrazone-like bond has been reduced (hydrazine series) or the 4-amino group has been acylated (hydrazide series); the synthesis and physicochemical properties thereof are described. The inhibitory potency was determined on the most clinically relevant acquired MBLs (IMP-, VIM-, and NDM-types subclass B1 MBLs). When compared with the previously reported hydrazone series, hydrazine but not hydrazide analogs showed similarly potent inhibitory activity on VIM-type enzymes, especially VIM-2 and VIM-4, with K  i values in the micromolar to submicromolar range. One of these showed broad-spectrum inhibition as it also significantly inhibited VIM-1 and NDM-1. Restoration of β-lactam activity in microbiological assays was observed for one selected compound. Finally, the binding to the VIM-2 active site was evaluated by isothermal titration calorimetry and a modeling study explored the effect of the linker structure on the mode of binding with this MBL.
