Cross-Reference to Related Application
This application is a continuation-in-part of Application Serial Number
10/937238, filed September 9, 2004.
Field of Invention
The subject invention relates to novel antimicrobial compounds, their
compositions and their uses.
Background
The chemical and medical literature describes compounds that are said
to be antimicrobial, i.e., capable of destroying or suppressing the growth or
reproduction of microorganisms, such as bacteria. For example, such
antibacterial agents are described in Antibiotics, Chemotherapeutics, and
Antibacterial Agents for Disease Control (M. Greyson, editor, 1982), E. Gale et
al., The Molecular Basis of Antibiotic Action 2d edition (1981), Recent
Research Developments in Antimicrobial Agents & Chemotherapy (S. G.
Pandalai, Editor, 2001), Quinolone Antimicrobial Agents (John S Wolfson.,
David C Hooper, Editors, 1989), and F. O'Grady, H. P. Lambert, R. G. Finch,
D. Greenwood, Martin Dedicoat, "Antibiotic and Chemotherapy, 7th edn."
(1997).
The mechanisms of action of these antibacterial agents vary. However,
they are generally believed to function in one or more ways: by inhibiting cell
wall synthesis or repair; by altering cell wall permeability; by inhibiting protein
synthesis; or by inhibiting the synthesis of nucleic acids. For example, beta-
lactam antibacterial agents act through inhibiting essential penicillin binding
proteins (PBPs) in bacteria, which are responsible for cell wall synthesis. As

another example, quinolones act, at least in part by inhibiting synthesis of DNA,
thus preventing the cell from replicating.
The pharmacological characteristics of antimicrobial agents, and their
suitability for any given clinical use, vary. For example, the classes of
antimicrobial agents (and members within a class) may vary in 1) their relative
efficacy against different types of microorganisms, 2) their susceptibility to
development of microbial resistance and 3) their pharmacological
characteristics such as their bioavailability and biodistribution. Accordingly,
selection of an appropriate antimicrobial agent in a given clinical situation
requires analysis of many factors, including the type of organism involved, the
desired method of administration, the location of the infection to be treated and
other considerations.
However, many such attempts to produce improved antimicrobial agents
yield equivocal results. Indeed, few antimicrobial agents are produced that are
truly clinically acceptable in terms of their spectrum of antimicrobial activity,
avoidance of microbial resistance, and pharmacology. Thus there is a
continuing need for broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents, which are effective
against resistant microbes.

Examples of bacterial infections resistant to antibiotic therapy have been
reported in the past; they are now a significant threat to public health in the
developed world. The development of microbial resistance (perhaps as a
result of the intense use of antibacterial agents over extended periods of time)
is of increasing concern in medical science. "Resistance" can be defined as
existence of organisms, within a population of a given microbial species, that
are less susceptible to the action of a given antimicrobial agent. This
resistance is of particular concern in environments such as hospitals and
nursing homes, where relatively high rates of infection and intense use of
antibacterial agents are common. See, e.g., W. Sanders, Jr. et al., "Inducible
Beta-lactamases: Clinical and Epidemiologic Implications for the Use of Newer
Cephalosporins", Review of Infectious Diseases, p. 830 (1988).
Pathogenic bacteria are known to acquire resistance via several distinct
mechanisms including inactivation of the antibiotic by bacterial enzymes (e.g.,
B-lactamases hydrolyzing penicillin and cephalosporins); removal of the
antibiotic using efflux pumps; modification of the target of the antibiotic via
mutation and genetic recombination (e.g., penicillin-resistance in Neiserria
gonorrhoeae); and acquisition of a readily transferable gene from an external
source to create a resistant target (e.g., methicillin-resistance in
Staphylococcus aureus). There are certain Gram-positive pathogens, such as
vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, which are resistant to virtually all
commercially available antibiotics.

Hence existing antibacterial agents have limited capacity in overcoming
the threat ot resistance. Thus it would be advantageous to provide new
antibacterial agents that can be used against resistant microbes.

compounds possess two or more stereogenic centers, they may additionally
exist as diastereomers. Furthermore, some of the crystalline forms for the
compounds may exist as polymorphs and as such are intended to be included
in the present invention. In addition, some of the compounds may form
solvates with water (i.e., hydrates) or common organic solvents, and such
solvates are also intended to be encompassed within the scope of this
invention.
Some of the compounds of the present invention may have trans and
cis isomers. In addition, where the processes for the preparation of the
compounds according to the invention give rise to mixture of stereoisomers,
these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as
preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared as a single

General Reaction Scheme for Compound Preparation
In making the compounds of the invention, the order of synthetic steps
may be varied to increase the yield of desired product. In addition, the skilled
artisan will also recognize the judicious choice of reactions, solvents, and
temperatures are an important component in successful synthesis. While the
determination of optimal conditions, etc. is routine, it will be understood that a
variety of compounds can be generated in a similar fashion, using the guidance
of the schemes below.
The starting materials used in preparing the compounds of the invention
are known, made by published synthetic methods or available from commercial
vendors.
It is recognized that the skilled artisan in the art of organic chemistry can
readily carry out standard manipulations of the organic compounds without
further direction; that is, it is well within the scope and practice of the skilled
artisan to carry out such manipulations. These include, but are not limited to,
reductions of carbonyl compounds to their corresponding alcohols, oxidations,
acylations, aromatic substitutions, both electrophilic and nucleophilic,
21

WO 2006/101603

PCT/US2006/003657

etherifications, esterification and saponification and the like. Examples of
these manipulations are discussed in standard texts such as March, Advanced
Organic Chemistry (Wiley), Carey and Sundberg, Advanced Organic Chemistry
(Vol. 2), Feiser & Feiser, Reagents for Organic Synthesis (16 volumes), L.
Paquette, Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (8 volumes), Frost
& Fleming, Comprehensive Organic Synthesis (9 volumes) and the like.
The skilled artisan will readily appreciate that certain reactions are best
carried out when other functionality is masked or protected in the molecule,
thus avoiding any undesirable side reactions and/or increasing the yield of the
reaction. Often the skilled artisan utilizes protecting groups to accomplish such
increased yields or to avoid the undesired reactions. Examples of these
manipulations can be found for example in T. Greene, Protecting Groups in
Organic Synthesis.

and both Rg and R10 are hydrogen, selective alkylation of the side chain amine
of LXI may also be accomplished by protection of the amine with a standard
protecting group, such as Boc, utilizing reagents and conditions apparent to
those skilled in the art to give LXII (Scheme XXXVI). The protected amine

not limited to, sodium hydride, in an appropriate inert solvent, such as
dimethylformamide or tetrahydrofuran, followed by the appropriate alkylating
agent R9X to yield the boc-protected secondary amine as the corresponding
ester LXIII. Typically, the reaction is run at temperatures ranging from -20°C
26

WO 2006/101603 PCT/US2006/003657
to 60°C for from 1 to 48 hours depending on the reactivity of the alkylating
agent. Typical alkylating agents including alkyl iodides (such as methyl iodide),
alkyl bromides and alkyl sulfonates. The ester LXIII may be hydrolyzed under
basic conditions to afford the corresponding carboxylic acid LXIV. Ester
hydrolysis may be conducted by methods familiar to those skilled in the art, in

sodium hydroxide) or an alkali metal carbonate in a suitable solvent, such as
water, methanol, ethanol, or aqueous alcohol mixtures, at a temperature
ranging from 20°C to 100°C for from 1 to 48 hours. Removal of the amine-
protecting group under conditions apparent to one skilled in the art affords the
secondary amine LXV. In the case where the protecting group is Boc, for

Occasionally, side chain amines are insufficiently reactive to add
efficiently to the heterocyclic nuclei (II or X) under the conditions illustrated in
Schemes l-IV, particularly when A is C(Rn), wherein H^ is alkoxy. The

acid such as, but not limited to, boron trifluoride, triacetoxyborate, and lithium
chloride. The preferred method of activation is described in U.S. Patent

the case where XVI is asymmetric (i.e., the value of m is not equal to n). In
such a case, the geometrical isomers may be separated by a number of
methods known to those skilled in the art, including selective recrystallization,

an electrophile such as formaldehyde, optionally stabilized with
methylaluminum bis(2,6-diphenyiphenoxide), in a suitable solvent, such as
methylene chloride, for from 1 to 24 hours at temperatures ranging from -20°C

azodicarboxylate to afford LXIX. Deprotection of the phthalimide (LXIX) with
hydrazine in a solvent such as methanol or ethanol affords the amine (LXX),

The cyano group of compound LXIX may also be converted to alternate
functionalities, such as carboxy or alkoxycarbonyl, to afford amines LXXI or

alkali metal hydroxide, such as potassium hydroxide, in a suitable solvent, such
as water, methanol, ethanol, or aqueous alcohol mixtures, at a temperature
ranging from 20°C to 100°C for from 1 to 48 hours, followed by acid hydrolysis
of the phthalamido group, with, for example, 6N hydrochloric acid at a
temperature ranging from 60°C to 100°C for from 1 to 48 hours affords the
corresponding amino acid derivative LXXI where R9 and Rio are hydrogen.
Alternatively, acid hydrolysis of nitrile LXIX with a mineral acid in the presence
of an alcohol at a temperature ranging from 20°C to 200°C for from 30 minutes
to 48 hours, optionally under microwave irradiation, provides the corresponding
amino ester derivative LXXII where R9 and R10 are hydrogen. Suitable mineral
acids include, but are not limited to, sulfuric acid. Suitable alcohols include, but
are not limited to, ethanol. Although Scheme XXXIX illustrates the conversion
of nitrile LXIX to amino acid derivative LXXI and amino ester derivative LXXII

Biological Activity
The compounds described in the present invention possess antibacterial
activity due to their novel structure, and are useful as antibacterial agents for
the treatment of bacterial infections in humans and animals.
Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) has been an indicator of in vitro
antibacterial activity widely used in the art. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of
the compounds was determined by the microdilution broth method following the
test method from the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards
(NCCLS). This method is described in the NCCLS Document M7-A4, Vol.17,
No.2, "Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test for Bacteria that
Grow Aerobically--Fourth Edition", which is incorporated herein by reference.
In this method two-fold serial dilutions of drug in cation adjusted Mueller-
Hinton broth are added to wells in microdilution trays. The test organisms are
prepared by adjusting the turbidity of actively growing broth cultures so that the
final concentration of test organism after it is added to the wells is
4
approximately 5x10 CFU/well.
Following inoculation of the microdilution trays, the trays are incubated
at 35 °C for 16-20 hours and then read. The MIC is the lowest concentration of
test compound that completely inhibits growth of the test organism. The
amount of growth in the wells containing the test compound is compared with
the amount of growth in the growth-control wells (no test compound) used in
each tray. As set forth in Table 5, compounds of the present invention were
tested against a variety of pathogenic bacteria resulting in a range of activities
depending on the organism tested.
