Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to new products derived from triazelain glycerol. In particular, the present invention relates to products derived from naturally occurring sources of unsaturated fatty acids, compositions, methods of manufacture, and uses in various disease conditions associated with modulation of the microbiome. [Background technology]
[0002] The host commensal and pathogenic microbiome is composed of multiple microbial species and strains of fungi, yeasts and bacteria. Most of this microbiome variety is harmless, many are beneficial and some are even necessary. The bacterial flora that harbors our bodies influences the host's predisposition to metabolic pathologies, inflammation, immune susceptibility and even cancer. Human microbiome species reside both within and on the human body, especially on the skin and mucous membranes.
[0003] Lipases are toxic factors released in opportunistic skin pathologies, such as Cutibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus species, from hydrolyzed sebum triglycerides and wax esters into free fatty acids and glycerol, which inflame the epithelium of the follicle and cause follicle rupture, thus initiating an inflammatory response and excessive proliferation of keratinocytes.
[0004] Azelaic acid is an approved drug and cosmetic ingredient known to be used as an anti-inflammatory, anti-acne, anti-melasma, anti-rosacea, skin lightening active ingredient in topical cosmetic and medical topical preparations. Similar to retinoic acid and lipohydroxy acid, azelaic acid has side effects, such as irritation. Antibiotics are also widely used. However, when applied topically, antibiotics may lose their effectiveness due to resistance expressed by bacteria when used for extended periods. Oral administration of antibiotics exposes the whole body to antibiotic compositions, whereas in acne, only the skin is affected. Moreover, almost all antibiotics have undesirable side effects when taken orally.
[0005] TriAza stands for triglyceride ether of azelaic acid (a known active agent) where azelaic acid is incorporated at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions of the triglyceride (triazelide or triazelain). Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

EXAMPLES
[0187] Example 1: Synthesis of azelaic acid glyceryl triester Ethyl chloroformate (ca. 10 mmol) was added to a solution of azelaic acid (ca. 10 mmol) and triethylamine (TEA, ca. 10 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF, ca. 40 ml) at -5 to 0°C. The mixture was separated by centrifugation and the supernatant was added to a solution of dry glycerol (ca. 2.5 mM). The resulting mixture was stirred at 25°C for 1 h and at 50°C for 1 h. Water (ca. 30 ml) was then added to the cooled reaction mixture followed by evaporation under reduced pressure. The product was extracted with chloroform (2 x ca. 30 ml). The resulting organic solution was dried over sodium sulfate followed by distillation, which resulted in a fine white crystalline material. The yield was 10%. Figure 1 shows a schematic route for the synthesis of azelaic acid glyceryl triester.
[0188] Example 2: Synthesis of azelaic acid glyceryl triester An alternative method for the synthesis of azelaic acid glyceryl triester A solution of 2.06 g (10 mmol) of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in 15 ml of dry MeCl2 was added very slowly (dropwise) to a solution of 0.23 g (2.5 mmol) of dry glycerol, 0.03 g (0.25 mmol) of N,N-dimethylaminopyridine and 1.65 g (8.8 mmol) of azelaic acid in 30 ml of dry CHCl2 and 5 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran (THF). The resulting suspension was stirred overnight at 25°C. Dicyclohexylurea (DCU) was filtered in vacuum and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure without heating. The residue was redissolved in THF and the undissolved material (DCU) was separated. The THF was evaporated to dryness until an oily residue remained in the flask. This oily residue solidified after lyophilization. The obtained material was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography using chloroform / methanol / water (65:25:4, v / v / v) as the developing solvent. Yield: approximately 25-30%. NMR analysis of the obtained compound clearly showed relevant peaks. Figure 2 shows a schematic route for this synthesis of azelaic acid glyceryl triester.
[0189] Example 3: Synthesis of retinoic acid glyceryl triester A solution of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC, ca. 20 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (ca. 30 ml) was added dropwise to a mixture of dry glycerol (ca. 5 mmol), N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, ca. 0.5 mmol) and retinoic acid (ca. 17.5 mmol). The resulting suspension was stirred overnight at 25° C. The resulting solution was filtered and the methylene chloride was evaporated under reduced pressure without heating. The product was allowed to recrystallize. Figure 3 shows a schematic route for this synthesis of retinoic acid glyceryl triester.
[0190] Example 4: Synthesis of 1-azelaic acid 2,3-retinoic acid glyceryl triester A solution of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC, ca. 7 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (ca. 20 ml) was added dropwise to a mixture of 2,3-isopropylidene-sn-glycerol (ca. 5 mmol), N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP, ca. 1 mmol) and azelaic acid (ca. 6 mmol) in dichloromethane (ca. 30 ml). The suspension was stirred at 25° C. for ca. 12 h. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with water and lyophilized. The dried product was dissolved in dry dichloromethane (ca. 30 ml) and slowly added to the mixture. The suspension was stirred overnight at 25° C. After filtration of the precipitate, the dichloromethane was evaporated under reduced pressure and the crude product was lyophilized and subsequently recrystallized. Figure 4 shows a schematic route for this synthesis of 1-azelaic acid, 2-3-retinoic acid glyceryl triester.
[0191] Example 5: Synthesis of 2'-O-erythromycin ester of 2'-O-linoleoylerythromycin linoleic acid To an ice-cold solution of 1.0 mmol of methyl ester of erythromycin in 50 ml of CHCl3, 1.1 mmol of Et3N was added dropwise under argon atmosphere. After 3 min, a solution of 1.1 mmol of linoleic acid in 35 ml of CHCl3 was added at 0°C, followed by 1.1 mmol of dicyclohexylcabodiimide and 1.1 mmol of hydroxybenztriazole as solids. Finally, 35 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) was added and the mixture was stirred at 0°C for 2 h and at room temperature for another 40 h. Ethyl acetate (50 ml) was added, the mixture was filtered, concentrated in vacuum and filtered again. Ether (30 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with water, 1% KOH solution and water. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, distilled and the residue was chromatographed on a silica column (h=30 cm, d=3.2 cm). FIG. 5 shows a schematic pathway for 2'-O-erythromycin ester of linoleic acid.
[0192] Example 6: Lipase-Mediated Activity To determine the affinity of bacterial lipases to active ingredients according to embodiments of the present invention, the ability of the lipases to utilize TriAza as a substrate was tested. For this purpose, a commercial lipase from P. cepacian was used. Increasing amounts of the enzyme were mixed with a fixed concentration of the substrate and incubated at 37° C. for several hours. The enzyme activity was monitored by TLC by registering the production of azelaic acid. Increasing concentrations of the enzyme are coupled to the progressive accumulation of azelaic acid at the expense of TriAza (FIG. 5). The results suggest that TriAza was available as a substrate for bacterial lipase activity.
[0193] Example 7: Lipase-Mediated Specificity The pure prodrug activity of the designed molecules suggests their high specificity towards the target enzymes. TriAza represents a glycerol ester of a specific fatty acid that can be recognized by mammalian esterases or other triglyceride-utilizing lipases. To establish the specificity of bacterial lipases towards TriAza, the lipase activity from P. cepacia was compared with that of mammalian esterases and phospholipase A2. The enzymes were exposed to a fixed concentration of TriAza in equal activity amounts. The degree of enzyme activity was registered according to the level of azelaic acid production. In contrast to lipases, we found that neither esterases nor phospholipase A2 were able to generate azelaic acid (Figures 6-7). These results indicate that the consumption of TriAza by bacterial lipases is highly specific.
[0194] Example 8: Antibacterial Activity TriAza was designed as a prodrug of azelaic acid, a known antibacterial agent, for the treatment of skin disorders associated with pathogenic proliferation of bacteria. For example, the development of acne vulgaris is strongly associated with the widespread deposition of P. acnes in the sebaceous glands, the environment of the disease. To determine the antibacterial activity of TriAza against P. acnes, the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of TriAza was determined. The effect of TriAza was compared to the MBC of two major competitors used in the treatment of acne, azelaic acid and benzoyl peroxide (BPO). It was found that TriAza and the reference molecules exhibited antibacterial activity against P. acnes in the range of 0.5 mg / ml to 5 mg / ml (Table 1). Although all molecules behaved similarly, the activity of TriAza was found to be two times more potent than that of azelaic acid, supporting the use of TriAza in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
[0195] [Table 1]
[0196] To compare the antimicrobial activity of various batches of TriAza, the MICs of a number of batches prepared with non-principal modifications were determined. Selected batches were labeled TriAza-3, TriAza-6, TriAza-7, and TriAza-19 and fed to the growth medium of P. acnes. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the batches were monitored and compared with each other. It was found that all samples possessed similar antibacterial activity with small deviations (Table 2). Batch TriAza-19 was chosen for further analysis as the batch containing the least amount of pelargonic acid.
[0197] Since TriAza is designed to be marketed as a soap, it was decided to define the antibacterial activity of the soap. For this purpose, the sodium salt (soap) of the most active batch of TriAza (TriAza-19-Na) was prepared and the MBC of the material was determined. TriAza-19-Na was found to exhibit both antibacterial and bactericidal activity, but less significant than that of TriAza-19 itself (Table 1). This finding indicates that TriAza soap can be used in anti-P. acnes treatment, despite its low antibacterial activity. It should be emphasized that despite the reduced activity of TriAza soap, it is still higher than the activity of azelaic acid (Tables 1 and 2).
[0198] [Table 2]
[0199] Example 8: Antibacterial specificity: spectrum of activity Since TriAza possesses antibacterial activity, the degree of its specificity for P. acnes was determined. For this purpose, several major skin pathogens were selected to be tested for susceptibility to TriAza. Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were chosen, representing bacterial and fungal genera, respectively. Both organisms express lipase. Bacteria and fungi were exposed to various concentrations of TriAza and its sodium salt, and both the MIC and MBC of the agent were statistically determined. Both organisms were found to be susceptible to the agent, with S. aureus exhibiting a higher susceptibility. The level of TriAza activity was similar to that demonstrated against P. acnes. The slight differences in the MIC of TriAza against the tested organisms may be due to differences in their lipase activity. Our findings revealed that TriAza could be used in the treatment of various infectious diseases associated with S. aureus and C. albicans infections.
[0200] [Table 3]
[0201] Example 9: Determination of optimal conditions for carrying out the conversion of trioleate to triazelate Trioleates in olive oil were analyzed using the HPLC-CAD method under the following chromatographic conditions: Detector:CAD Column: C18, 150 x 4.6 mm, 5 microns Oven temperature: 40℃ Flow rate: 1.5mL / min Run Time: 26 minutes Eluent A: Acetonitrile Eluent B: Chloroform The gradient profile is shown in Table 4:
[0202] [Table 4] Diluent: Acetonitrile:Chloroform (90:10)
[0203] A typical chromatogram of olive oil is shown in Figure 1. The largest peak is trioleate.
[0204] FIG. 8 shows a typical chromatogram of olive oil, while FIG. 9 demonstrates a typical chromatogram of trioleate.
[0205] Analysis revealed the production of 28% trioleate in the olive oil.
[0206] Analysis of Pelargonic Acid Pelargonic acid was analyzed by two different methods, RP-HPLC and GC-FID. The HPLC method has important limitations: the oily phase cannot be directly analyzed, while pelargonic acid is poorly soluble in water. HPLC conditions: Detector: UV, 210nm Column: XBridge C18, 150 x 4.6 mm, 5 microns Mobile phase: Acetonitrile:Water:H3PO4 (50:50:0.1) Flow rate: 1.0mL / min Run Time: 15 minutes Column temperature: 35℃
[0207] FIG. 10 demonstrates the chromatogram of pelargonic acid in methanol by HPLC.
[0208] Pelargonic acid is much more soluble in oils and organic solvents than in water, and therefore it is very difficult to extract it for analysis in HPLC. GC conditions: Detector: FID Column: Supelco, Nukol, 15m x 0.5mm, 0.53mm Inlet temperature: 210℃ Detector temperature: 220℃ Oven program: 110℃ (1 min) → 20℃ / min → 220℃ (10 min) Run Time: 22.5 minutes Constant flow: 3mL / sec Split ratio: 1:20 Injection volume: 1mL
[0209] The chromatogram of 0.5 mg / mL pelargonic acid standard obtained by GC method is shown in FIG.
[0210] Determining the optimal parameters for the reaction For the determination of the optimal conditions for trioleate conversion, 20 g of olive oil was mixed with 2.8 g of KMnO4.
[0211] Olive oil is placed in a flask and KMnO4 is added as a solid along with a small amount of water. The mixture is heated to 60-80°C. After approximately 15 minutes, 35% H2O2 is added and the flask is placed in the refrigerator. After the addition of H2O2, the volume of the reaction mixture increases at least two-fold and intensive bubbling is observed. After a short time, the reaction mixture lightens and two liquid layers are observed. The products of the reaction are water-soluble. If KMnO4 is still in excess relative to H2O2, the KMnO4 will be pink in the aqueous phase and unreacted KMnO4 will be observed at the bottom of the flask, as clearly shown in Figure 12.
[0212] When H2O2 was added together with KMnO4, HPLC analysis showed that the amount of trioleate remained the same and no pelargonic acid was observed.
[0213] When no H2O2 was added, the HPLC results for trioleate and pelargonic acid remained approximately the same. However, in this case, separation between the two phases was difficult to achieve due to the high content of unreacted potassium permanganate and the MnO2 formed. A clear separation was achieved by filtering off the solid phase. The analysis of trioleate showed only a non-significant reduction after the reaction. The assay of trioleate in olive oil fell from 28% to 20%. The assay of pelargonic acid was even lower, which did not correspond to 8% of trioleate conversion.
[0214] The ratios were found to be sufficient with equal ratios between moles of trioleate and moles of KMnO4 multiplied by 3, with ratio values of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4. There was no significant difference between reaction temperatures in the range of 20-80°C and exposure times (15-45 min). The content of triolein in olive oil was reduced, but only about 0.15% of pelargonic acid was formed. This indicates that the reaction of trioleate with potassium permanganate mainly led to hydroxylation of the double bond rather than cleavage, e.g. only a small amount of triolein reacted to form triazelate and pelargonic acid.
[0215] Thus, despite the low conversion of trioleate, the reaction is easy to carry out and the products are liquid and separate well. It should be noted that there is a noticeable change in the color of the olive oil after the addition of hydrogen peroxide from a deep yellow-green to a yellowish color, and there is only a slight difference in the brightness of the chromatograms of the olive oil before and after the reaction, as shown in Figure 13.
[0216] To increase the conversion of triolein to triazelate, olive oil was allowed to continue in excess of KMnO4 for 3 h at RT.
[0217] The reactions were carried out as follows: 40 g of saturated KMnO4 solution was mixed with 20 g of olive oil and mixed for 3 hours. After 3 hours, 1 mL of H2SO4 concentrate was added and mixed for an additional hour.
[0218] The result of this process was a marsh-like black-brown viscous liquid, as shown in FIG.
[0219] Upon addition of a large amount of water, MnO2 was evident in the dark oil phase, as shown in FIG.
[0220] Filtration was difficult due to the high amount of viscous MnO2. In addition, the oil and water phases could be separated via centrifugation. The oil phase remained in a very small amount, about 1 g.
[0221] Addition of H2O2 resulted in bubbling for a few seconds, indicating that a portion of the permanganate was still not consumed.
[0222] To increase the exposure of the olive oil to the permanganate, reactions were carried out in the presence of Brij® 35 to combine the oil and water phases, thus exposing the olive oil to KMnO4.
[0223] Visually, the results were similar; however, the sample with Brij® 35 appeared to be more liquid and filtered more easily. In the sample with Brij® 35, the MnO2 was distributed throughout the entire volume of the flask.
[0224] After filtration, a single phase was observed, as shown in Figure 16. Complete clearance of the liquid was achieved by centrifugation.
[0225] The liquid that formed in the reaction was not miscible with hexane or in methanol, but it was miscible with water.
[0226] As shown in FIG. 17, the trioleate disappeared due to the reaction.
[0227] In the chromatogram in the methanol extraction, it can be seen that more hydrophilic products were formed and new peaks appeared.
[0228] Pelargonic acid was detected in all samples, but the amount of pelargonic acid did not correlate with the fall in trioleate.
[0229] conclusion · H2O2 is not involved in the conversion of trioleate to triazelate. Only KMnO4 is required for the reaction. The trioleate conversion rate depends on the reaction time. The trioleate was completely converted with extended exposure. · The presence of surfactants in the reaction medium accelerates the reaction until the oil phase disappears completely. Testing for triazelates The triazelate preparation was repeated using a larger amount of olive oil.
[0230] Olive oil was prepared using three methods: Addition of H2O2 followed by a short period of KMnO4 Long-term KMnO4 KMnO4 in the presence of surfactant Brij® 35 Five samples were prepared:
[0231] [Table 5]
[0232] Since a standard standard for triazelate is not available, the only way to conclude about the presence of triazelate is by MS.
[0233] All samples were run under the same conditions on the GC-MS.
[0234] After extended treatment, azelaic acid was observed only in the aqueous phase (sample 4). Pelargonic acid was not observed in this sample. However, pelargonic acid is present to a significant extent in the oil phase.
[0235] The sample with Brij® 35 had a high concentration of pelargonic acid and the chromatogram shows many peaks attributable to polyethylene glycol.
[0236] None of the samples showed a peak with molecular weight 602. Therefore, it is unclear whether the triazelate is formed or simply cannot be detected. Table 6 summarizes the prominent peaks in the GC-MS chromatograms.
[0237] [Table 6]
[0238] Finally, no triolein or triolein peaks were found by this method. Additionally, the same samples were run on HPLC-MS without the HPLC column, simply scanning the molecular weights in the samples.
[0239] In the diluent acetonitrile / chloroform, no triolein or triazelate peaks were observed.
[0240] After addition of ammonium formate in diluent, a strong trioleate signal appeared with mass +903, indicating the ammonium ion at +18. The triazelate appeared as a peak with mass +603, indicating that the ammonium ion was not required.
[0241] Triazelate was observed in all samples in both the water and oil phases.
[0242] No peaks attributable to the monoazelate and diazelate were observed. The trioleate was completely converted to a more hydrophilic product under extended reaction with KMnO4. The presence of triazelate and pelargonic acid in the reaction product was verified by HPLC-MS.
[0243] Example 10: Ozonolysis and synthesis examples The synthesis consists of only three steps, which makes it simple and optimized as being ecologically safe and cost-effective: (1) Olive oil → (2) Oxidation / ozonolysis → (3) Soap-like preparations (10%-20% of 3A) The synthesis was carried out by ozonolysis, an eco-friendly method that utilizes the natural material triolein as a substrate. Ozonolysis relies on the ozone-mediated cleavage of triolein-containing double bonds followed by the generation of COOH groups (Scheme 1). The method involves two steps: 1. exposure of triolein to a mixture of ozone and oxygen (in a solvent), and 2. oxidation of the first reaction product by oxygen in an acidic environment.
[0244] [ka] Scheme 1: Synthesis of Triaza by ozonolysis
[0245] Transesterification is an additional method of the present invention, which is a structural lipid modification method of preparation of TriAza to prepare TriAza-tributyrin, triolein, or other natural-based selected triglycerides, comprising at least one unsaturated or medium chain fatty acid as a constituent fatty acid can be subjected to transesterification, and lipase-catalyzed methods can be used in such reactions, or the catalytic methods based on chemical catalysts to be used in transesterification can be chemically catalyzed. In transesterification using chemical catalysts, the constituent fatty acids are bonded at random positions. Applicable chemical catalysts can be exemplified by alkali metal hydroxides, such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide, or alkali metal alkoxides, such as lithium methoxide and sodium methoxide. When chemical catalyst is used, about 0.1-2 wt% of the catalyst may be first added to the mixed oil of triglyceride (natural triglyceride and azelaic acid, or any R selected from the R descriptions), and the resulting mixture is reacted at 50-270°C for 3-120 minutes under stirring at ambient or reduced pressure. The final product can be obtained by carrying out the usual purification steps such as washing with water, drying, bleaching and deodorizing.
[0246] A substrate (Triaza) for lipase-mediated activity was synthesized. The synthesis was carried out by ozonolysis, an eco-friendly method that utilizes the natural material triolein as a substrate. Ozonolysis relies on the ozone-mediated cleavage of triolein, which contains a double bond, followed by the generation of a COOH group (Scheme 1). The method involves two steps: 1. exposure of triolein to a mixture of ozone and oxygen (in a solvent), and 2. oxidation of the first reaction product by oxygen in an acidic environment.
[0247] The parameters that were varied were the solvent (dichloromethane, pelargonic acid, formic acid, water, n-propyl acetate), the feed acids (pelargonic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, citric acid) and the reaction time. As a result, 17 batches were generated, which were analyzed by thin layer chromatography (TLC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS). To confirm the results produced by ozonolysis of triolein, Triaza was synthesized either by oxidation of triolein using OsO4 or by reacting glycerol with azelaic acid (four batches), as shown in Figures 18-21. The materials synthesized by these methods were analyzed by TLC along with the products of ozonolysis. Triaza synthesized by ozonolysis was subjected to MS, TLC and NMR analysis. Molecular mass analysis revealed that all synthesized batches contained mono-, di- and triglycerides of the Triaza family. In addition, triolein, Triaza-containing aldehydes, diglycerides were determined with both OH and COOH termini, triglycerides with dimers of azelaic acid, and pelargonic acid. To further confirm the presence of ozonides in the batches, 3H-NMR was performed. Analysis revealed that none of the batches contained ozonides and all batches contained few molecules possessing double bonds. Since triolein was the only double bond containing molecule, it was concluded that the substrate was not fully utilized in the reaction. Moreover, the absence of ozonides in the samples was evident for their destruction, resulting in modified forms of medium chain triglycerides. For detailed analysis of Triaza, the batches produced by ozonolysis were analyzed by TLC and compared to the batches synthesized by liquid synthesis. All samples were separated by normal phase chromatography and visualized by either a general dye (primulin) or a COOH-specific stain (BromCresol Green). Most batches of ozonolysis were found to contain 4-7 clear spots (the Rf of the resulting products was determined and compared with known standards), among which three major spots were visualized with BromCresol Green, suggesting the presence of carboxyl termini.Among them, one spot represented pelargonic acid, and therefore the two additional spots should have corresponded to Triaza molecules. Comparison of the Rf of the materials obtained by ozonolysis and liquid synthesis revealed that among the COOH-containing spots, two of them were normal, i.e., they could represent Triaza. Overall, we concluded that we were successful in producing Triaza by using ozonolysis of triolein.

[0251] Example 11: Selection of process conditions for producing TriAza with green surfactants Raw olive oil contains up to 50% oleic acid. Oleic acid exists as free oleic acid, monooleate, di-oleate and trioleate. KMnO4 added to olive oil cleaves the double bond of oleic acid leading to the formation of the following products: pelargonic and azelaic acids (following cleavage of oleic acid), monoazelates (following cleavage of monooleate), diazelates (following cleavage of dioleate) and triazelates (following cleavage of trioleate). Additional products of this reaction are MnO2 and the precipitate of a black powder. The reaction between olive oil and potassium permanganate was carried out under various conditions. The results are summarized in Table 7:
[0252] [Table 7]
[0253] Consider In the present invention utilizes topical compositions for the treatment of lipase virulence factor overexpressing pathogenic microbiome, such compositions preferably utilize active ingredient azelate ester, such as triazelate glycerol, alone or in combination with other active ingredients. TG mimics are composed of azelaic acid, not oleic fatty acid. It has been found that oxidation of triolein-containing substrates can obtain triazelate as a prodrug precursor of AzA, which can be released extracellularly into the host by triglyceride lipase in the GI system or by microbiome-released TG lipase, thus inducing the release of azelaic acid from TriAzA. The antimicrobial activity of TriAzA is unexpectedly high compared to equimolar AzA, and surprisingly has no effect on non-malignant microbiome. The disclosed method of oxidative cleavage of the double bond of triolein or of olive oil containing triolein results in an industrially familiar method of the production of glycerol of azelaic acid, named TriAza or triazelain, which can serve as a metabolic substrate for microbial lipases. In this way, control over lipases, which are the main virulence factors overexpressed in pathogenic microorganisms, can be achieved. The observed selectivity and specificity towards malignant lipase-producing microbiomes allows maintaining control of pathogenic and opportunistic infections and pathologies without causing damage to the host microbiome. The disclosed invention thus has excellent properties in terms of biocontrol (pathogens vs. host microbiome). In addition, the disclosed compositions can deliver and confer excellent preservation of donor or cultured microbiomes. In addition, superior MIC and MBC performance compared to azelaic acid was observed in several lipase-producing species, including resistant planktonic pathogens. The microbiome modulating effects of Triaza provide multi-functional benefits in enhancing health span for various conditions in the human body.

All chains containing three or more carbons as defined by the formulas herein may be saturated or unsaturated unless otherwise specified.
[0261] It is understood that the substituents and substitution patterns in the compounds used in the methods of the present invention are selected by those skilled in the art to provide compounds that are chemically stable and can be readily synthesized by techniques known in the art from readily available starting materials. It is understood that when a substituent is itself substituted with more than one group, these multiple groups can be on the same carbon or on different carbons, so long as a stable structure is produced.
[0262] An "optionally substituted" group refers to a functional group in which one or more bonds to a hydrogen atom contained therein are replaced with a bond to a non-hydrogen or non-carbon atom, provided that the normal valence is maintained and the replacement results in a stable compound. Substituted groups also include groups in which one or more bonds to a carbon or hydrogen are replaced with one or more bonds, including double or triple bonds to heteroatoms. Where multiple substituent moieties are disclosed or claimed, the substituted compound may be independently substituted singly or multiply by one or more of the disclosed or claimed substituent moieties. Independently substituted means that the (two or more) substituents may be the same or different. In selecting the compounds of the present invention, one skilled in the art will recognize that the various substituents will be selected in accordance with well-known principles of chemical structure connectivity.
[0263] As used herein, "H" refers to a hydrogen atom. "C" refers to a carbon atom. "N" refers to a nitrogen atom. "O" refers to an oxygen atom. "Halo" refers to F, Cl, Br or I. The term "hydroxy" as used herein refers to an -OH moiety. "Br" refers to a bromine atom. "Cl" refers to a chlorine atom. "I" refers to a sulfur atom. "F" refers to a fluorine atom. "Acyl group" is intended to mean a -C(O)-R group, where R is a suitable substituent, such as an acetyl group, a propionyl group, a butyroyl group, a benzoyl group or an alkylbenzoyl group. "Alkyl" as used herein refers to a straight or branched chain hydrocarbon containing 1 or 2 to 10 or 20 or more carbon atoms (e.g., C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, C12, C13, C14, C15, etc.). In some embodiments, the alkyl can be a lower alkyl. "Lower alkyl" refers to a straight or branched chain alkyl having 1 to 3, or 1 to 5, or 1 to 8 carbon atoms. Representative examples of alkyl include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, 3-methylhexyl, 2,2-dimethylpentyl, 2,3-dimethylpentyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-nonyl, n-decyl, and the like. As used herein, definitions of carbon number ranges, such as C1-C12 alkyl, are intended to include each of the carbon number portions of the components within such ranges, and thus each intervening carbon number, and any other stated or intervening carbon number within that stated range, may be independently specified, such that subranges of carbon numbers within a particular carbon number range.For example, C1-C12 alkyl is intended to include methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, and dodecyl, including the linear and branched groups described above, and the carbon number range C1-C12 alkyl can also be more precisely specified as a subrange, such as C1-C4 alkyl, C2-C8 alkyl, C2-C4 alkyl, C3-C5 alkyl, or any other subrange within the broader carbon number range. In addition, carbon number ranges that specifically exclude carbon numbers are contemplated, which are subranges that exclude either or both of the carbon number limits of a particular range. As generally understood by those skilled in the art, "saturated" refers to a state in which all available valence bonds of an atom (e.g., carbon) are bonded to other atoms. Similarly, "unsaturated" refers to a state in which not all available valence bonds are bonded to other atoms, and in such compounds, the extra bonds usually take the form of double or triple bonds (usually to carbon). For example, a carbon chain is "saturated" when there are no double or triple bonds along the chain or directly connected to the chain (e.g., carbonyl), and is "unsaturated" when there is at least one double or triple bond along the chain or directly connected to the chain (e.g., carbonyl). Furthermore, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the presence or absence of a substituent that depends on the saturation of the chain depends on the valency requirements of the atom (e.g., carbon) to which the substituent is attached. "Alkenyl" as used herein refers to a straight or branched chain hydrocarbon containing 1 or 2 to 10 or 20 or more carbons and containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond, e.g., structurally formed by the replacement of two hydrogens.
