Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a novel class of lipid-modified guanidino derivatives of glycopeptide antibiotics. The invention also provides formulations and compositions containing such compounds. These compounds, formulations, and compositions can be used as pharmaceuticals, such as in the treatment of bacterial infections. Also provided are methods for using such compounds in the treatment of bacterial infections. [Background technology]
[0002] background In the search for antibiotics active against Gram-positive bacteria, the bacterial cell wall, often referred to as the peptidoglycan layer, offers an attractive target. Lipid II, the second-to-last building block of the bacterial cell wall, is crucial for peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Numerous natural product antibiotics operate by specifically binding to lipid II (Grein, F., et al. (2019) Docking on Lipid II-A Widespread Mechanism for Potent Bactericidal Activities of Antibiotic Peptides, J Mol Biol.; Oppedijk, SF, et al. (2016) Hit 'em where it hurts: The growing and structurally diverse family of peptides that target lipid-II, Biochim Biophys Acta 1858, 947-957). Among these, the clinically used glycopeptide vancomycin, which tightly binds to the terminal d-Ala-d-Ala motif of the lipid II pentapeptide, is particularly prominent.
[0003] The increasing number of bacterial strains capable of utilizing lipid II variants containing the d-Ala-d-Lac termination pentapeptide has led to a rise in encounters with vancomycin resistance. This d-Lac mutation in d-Ala reduces vancomycin's affinity for lipid II, thereby significantly diminishing its antibacterial effect (Healy, VL, et al. (2000) Vancomycin resistance in enterococci: reprogramming of the D-ala-D-Ala ligases in bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis, Chem Biol 7, R109-119; Blaskovich, MAT, et al. (2018) Developments in Glycopeptide Antibiotics, ACS Infect Dis 4, 715-735; Willyard, C. (2017) The drug-resistant bacteria that pose the greatest health threats, Nature 543, 15). Therefore, the development of novel glycopeptide antibiotics with enhanced antibacterial activity remains extremely important. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0016] definition The following explanations of terms and methods better describe the present invention and provide guidance to those skilled in the art in carrying it out.
[0017] The present invention relates, in particular, to the treatment of diseases. The terms “treatment” and “therapy” as defined herein include, and combinations thereof: (1) intervening, e.g., delaying the onset and / or progression of an event, situation, disorder or condition, e.g., stopping, reducing or delaying the progression of at least one of its clinical or subclinical symptoms, e.g., an event, situation, disorder or condition, or in the case of maintenance treatment or secondary prevention; (2) preventing or delaying the appearance of clinical symptoms of an event, situation, disorder or condition progressing in an animal (e.g., human) that is potentially affected or predisposed to the condition but has not yet experienced or shown any clinical or subclinical symptoms of the condition; and / or (3) remission and / or cure of an event, situation, disorder or condition (e.g., induction of regression of at least one of its clinical or subclinical symptoms). The patient benefit of the treatment may be statistically significant or at least recognizable to the patient or will. It is understood that medicines do not necessarily produce clinical effects in every patient to whom they are administered; therefore, in every individual patient or particular patient group, a treatment may fail or be only partially successful, and the terms “treatment” and “prevention” and related terms should be understood accordingly. The compositions and methods described herein are useful for the treatment and / or prevention of the conditions described.
[0018] The term "prevention" refers to treatment or therapy aimed at maintaining health or preventing or delaying the onset and / or progression of an event, situation, disability, or condition, for example, reducing the chances of the event, situation, disability, or condition occurring. The results of prevention may, for example, be the maintenance of health or the delay of the onset and / or progression of an event, situation, disability, or condition. It should be noted that in some individual patient or in a particular group of patients, treatment may fail, and this paragraph should be understood accordingly.
[0019] The term "antibiotic" refers to a compound that inhibits or destroys the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g., Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria).

Alkenyls can be monounsaturated (i.e., containing one carbon-carbon double bond) or polyunsaturated (i.e., containing two or more carbon-carbon double bonds, e.g., 2, 3, or 4 carbon-carbon double bonds). For example, alkenyls can be alkadinyls, alkatrienyls, etc.
[0022] The term "alkylene" refers to a divalent radical derived from an alkyl group, such as, but not limited to, -CH2CH2CH2CH2-, either by itself or as part of another substituent. Generally, alkyl (or alkylene) groups have 1 to 24 carbon atoms, and those having 10 or fewer carbon atoms are preferred in this invention. "Lower alkyl" or "lower alkylene" generally refers to a short-chain alkyl or alkylene group having 8 or fewer carbon atoms.
[0023] The term "cycloalkyl" as used herein includes an alicyclic moiety having three, four, five, or six carbon atoms. This group can be a crosslinked or polycyclic ring system. More frequently, cycloalkyl groups are monocyclic. This term includes groups such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl.
[0024] The term "heteroalkyl", by itself or in combination with other terms, unless otherwise specified, means a stable straight-chain, branched-chain or cyclic hydrocarbon radical or combinations thereof consisting of at least one carbon atom and at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of O, N, P, Si and S, where the nitrogen and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized and the nitrogen heteroatom may optionally be quaternized. The heteroatoms O, N, P, S and Si can be at any internal position of the heteroalkyl group or at the position where the alkyl group is attached to the rest of the molecule. Examples include, but are not limited to, -CH2-CH2-O-CH3, -CH2-CH2-NH-CH3, -CH2-CH2-N(CH3)-CH3, -CH2-S-CH2-CH3, -CH2-CH2, -S(O)-CH3, -CH2-CH2-S(O)2-CH3, -CH=CH-O-CH3, -Si(CH3)3, -CH2-CH=N-OCH3, -CH=CH-N(CH3)-CH3, O-CH3, -O-CH2-CH3 and -CN. For example, up to two heteroatoms can be consecutive, such as -CH2-NH-OCH3 and -CH2-O-Si(CH3)3. Similarly, the term "heteroalkylene", by itself or as part of another substituent, means a divalent radical derived from heteroalkyl, examples of which include, but are not limited to, -CH2-CH2-S-CH2-CH2- and -CH2-S-CH2-CH2-NH-CH2-. For heteroalkylene groups, the heteroatoms can occupy either or both of the chain termini (e.g., alkyleneoxy, alkylenedioxy, alkylenamino, alkylenediamino, etc.). Still further, for alkylene and heteroalkylene linking groups, the direction of the linking group is not implied by the direction in which the formula of the linking group is written. For example, the formula -C(O)2R'- represents both -C(O)2R'- and -R'C(O)2-. As noted above, the heteroalkyl groups used herein include groups that are attached to the rest of the molecule via heteroatoms such as -C(O)R', -C(O)NR', -NR'R ’’ , -OR', -SR ’ and / or -SO2R', etc. When "heteroalkyl" is recited followed by -NR'R ’’When specific heteroalkyl groups are mentioned, it is understood that the terms heteroalkyl and -NR'R'' are not redundant or mutually exclusive. Rather, they are cited to clearly indicate the specific heteroalkyl group. Therefore, the term "heteroalkyl" is used here as -NR'R''. ’’ This should not be interpreted as excluding certain heteroalkyl groups such as [specific heteroalkyl groups].
[0025] The term "heterocycloalkyl" as used herein includes a saturated heterocyclic moiety having 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 ring carbon atoms and 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 ring heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. For example, a heterocycloalkyl may contain 3, 4, or 5 ring carbon atoms and 1 or 2 ring heteroatoms selected from nitrogen and oxygen. This group can be a polycyclic ring system, but more frequently it is monocyclic. This term includes groups such as azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, piperidinyl, oxylanyl, pyrazolidinyl, imidazolyl, indolidinyl, piperazinyl, thiazolidinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, and quinolidinyl.

Furthermore, terms such as "haloalkyl" include monohaloalkyl and polyhaloalkyl. For example, the term "haloalkyl" refers to an alkyl group in which one or more hydrogen atoms are substituted with a corresponding number of halogens. For example, the term "halo(C1-C4)alkyl" means including, but is not limited to, trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 4-chlorobutyl, 3-bromopropyl, etc.
[0028] The term "alkoxy" as used herein includes -O-alkyl groups (where alkyl is a linear or branched chain containing one, two, three, four, five, or six carbon atoms).

Non-limiting examples of aryl and heteroaryl groups include phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, 4-biphenyl, 1-pyrrolyl, 2-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrzolyl, 2-imidazolyl, 4-imidazolyl, pyrazinyl, 2-oxazolyl, 4-oxazolyl, 2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl, 5-oxazolyl, 3-isoxazolyl, 4-isoxazolyl, 5-isoxazolyl, This includes 2-thiazolyl, 4-thiazolyl, 5-thiazolyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-pyrimidyl, 4-pyrimidyl, 5-benzothiazolyl, purinyl, 2-benzimidazolyl, 5-indolyl, 1-isoquinolyl, 5-isoquinolyl, 2-quinoxalinyl, 5-quinoxalinyl, 3-quinolyl, and 6-quinolyl. Each substituent of the above aryl and heteroaryl ring systems is selected from the following group of permissible substituents. "Arylene" and "heteroarylene" refer to divalent radicals derived from aryl and heteroaryl, respectively.
[0031] The term "lipid" used herein to refer to substituents generally refers to the hydrophobic portion. Lipids may contain substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cross-linked cycloalkyl, (alkyl)cycloalkyl, (alkyl)cross-linked cycloalkyl, (alkyl)cycloalkenyl, and / or alkylaryl groups. For example, lipids may contain substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, (alkyl)cycloalkyl, (alkyl)cycloalkenyl, and / or alkylaryl groups. Examples of substituents include -OH, =O, -CN, -halo, -NH2, -NH(C1-C6 alkyl), -N(C1-C4 alkyl)2, -phenyl, -phenyl-halo; for example, -OH, =O, -CN, -halo, -NH2, -NH(C1-C6 alkyl), and -N(C1-C4 alkyl)2. The main chain of substituted or unsubstituted lipids may be interrupted by disulfide bonds (-SS-), thioether bonds (-S-), ether bonds (-O-), or esters (-C(O)O-).
[0032] Each of the above terms (e.g., "alkyl," "cycloalkyl," "heteroalkyl," "aryl," and "heteroaryl") is intended to include both substituted and unsubstituted forms of the radical unless otherwise specified. x When it is a substituted alkyl group (where "x" is an integer), the substituent may be substituted with one or more R groups that can be determined by chemical valence testing, and the R groups may vary as desired (e.g., R x Substituting alkyls have multiple R x Includes the base, where R x The base can vary as desired. Specific examples of substituents for each type of radical are provided below.
[0033] The term “substitution” as used herein, referring to a portion, means that one or more hydrogen atoms in that portion, in particular up to five, more specifically one, two, or three, are substituted independently of each other in corresponding numbers by the listed substituents. Unless otherwise specified, examples of substituents include -OH, -CN, -NH2, -NH(C1-C6 alkyl), -N(C1-C4 alkyl)2, =O, -halo, -C1-C6 alkyl, -C2-C6 alkenyl, -C1-C6 haloalkyl, -C1-C6 haloalkoxy and -C2-C6 haloalkenyl, and -C1-C6 alkylcarboxylic acids (e.g., -CH3COOH or -COOH). When the substituent is -C1-C6 alkyl or -C1-C6 haloalkyl, the C1-C6 chain may be interrupted optionally by an ether bond (-O-) or an ester bond (-C(O)O-). Examples of substituents on substituted alkyls may include -OH, -CN, -NH2, =O, -halo, -CO2H, -C1-C6 haloalkyl, -C1-C6 haloalkoxy and -C2-C6 haloalkenyl, and -C1-C6 alkylcarboxylic acids (e.g., -CH3COOH or -COOH). For example, examples of substituents on alkyls may include -OH, -CN, -NH2, =O, and -halo.
[0034] Naturally, it is understood that substituents exist only in chemically possible positions, and those skilled in the art can determine, without undue effort (experimentally or theoretically), whether a particular substitution is possible. For example, an amino or hydroxyl group with free hydrogen may be unstable if bonded to a carbon atom with an unsaturated (e.g., olefin) bond. Furthermore, it is understood that the substituents described herein can themselves be substituted with any substituent, and are subject to the above limitations on appropriate substitutions, as recognized by those skilled in the art.
[0035] When the arrangement of substituents on a group is determined by stereochemistry, the isomer with the lowest conformational energy may be preferred.
[0036] When a compound, part, process, or product is described as having a certain property "optionally," the present invention includes such compounds, parts, processes, or products having that property and also such compounds, parts, processes, or products not having that property. Therefore, when a part is described as being "optionally substituted," the present invention includes unsubstituted and substituted parts.
[0037] When it is stated that two or more parts are selected "independently" or "each independently" from the list of atoms or groups, it means that the parts may be identical or different. The existence of each part is therefore independent of the existence of one or more other parts.
[0038] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" includes compounds, substances, compositions, and / or dosage forms that, within the bounds of reasonable medical judgment, are suitable for use in contact with human or animal tissue without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic responses, or other problems or complications, and that are commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. This term includes acceptance for both human and veterinary purposes.
[0039] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” means a salt of the active compound prepared with a relatively non-toxic acid or base, depending on the specific substituents found in the compounds described herein. When the compounds of the present invention contain a relatively acidic functional group, a base addition salt may be obtained by contacting such a compound in its neutral form with a sufficient amount of the desired base neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino or magnesium salts or analogs. When the compounds of the present invention contain a relatively basic functional group, an acid addition salt may be obtained by contacting such a compound in its neutral form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid, monohydrogen bicarbonate, phosphoric acid, monohydrogen phosphate, dihydrogen phosphate, sulfuric acid, monohydrogen sulfate, hydroiodic acid, or phosphoric acid, as well as salts derived from relatively non-toxic organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, suberic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, phthalic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-tolylsulfonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and methanesulfonic acid. Also included are salts of amino acids such as alginates and salts of organic acids such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid (see, for example, Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19). Certain compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functional groups, and the compounds can be converted to either a base or an acid addition salt.
[0040] The neutral form of the compound is preferably regenerated by conventional methods of contacting the salt with a base or acid and then isolating the parent compound. The parent compound differs from various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents.
[0041] Some compounds of the present invention can exist in solvated forms, including unsolvated and hydrated forms. Generally, the solvated forms are equivalent to the unsolvated forms and are included within the scope of the present invention. Some compounds of the present invention can exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. Generally, all physical forms are equivalent for the intended uses of the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
[0042] Some compounds of the present invention have an asymmetric carbon atom (optical center) or a double bond; racemates, diastereomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, and individual isomers are included within the scope of the present invention. Compounds of the present invention do not include those known in the art to be too unstable for synthesis and / or isolation.
[0043] symbol [ka] This indicates the bonding site of one part of the compound to the rest of the compound.
[0044] The term "prodrug" as used herein refers to a compound that is converted in vivo, for example, by hydrolysis in the blood, to a parent compound or another active compound. Examples of such prodrugs are pharmaceutically acceptable esters of carboxylic acids. This is described in detail in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the ACS Symposium Series, Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987; H Bundgaard, ed., Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier, 1985; and Judkins, et al. Synthetic Communications, 26(23), 4351-4367 (1996); and The organic chemistry of drug design and drug action by Richard B Silverman, particularly pp. 497-546, which are incorporated herein by reference. The compounds of the present invention may represent prodrugs (e.g., potential MBL inhibitors), where hydrolysis of the β-lactam leads to the release and activation of the potential MBL inhibitor.
[0045] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutical preparation" includes preparations comprising at least one active compound and optionally one or more further acceptable components, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. When a pharmaceutical preparation comprises two or more active compounds or at least one active compound and one or more further acceptable components, it is also a pharmaceutical composition. Unless otherwise indicated by the context, all mention of "preparation" herein refers to pharmaceutical preparations.
[0046] As used herein, the terms “product” or “product of the present invention” include references to any product containing the compound of the present invention. In particular, the term “product” refers to compositions and formulations containing the compound of the present invention, such as pharmaceutical compositions.

Furthermore, as will be recognized by those skilled in the art, these methods and the methods described in reaction schemes A and B (see below) can be readily adapted to provide other compounds and disclosures of the present invention.
[0073] Formulation and administration According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical formulation or composition comprising a compound of the present invention, optionally mixed with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier.
[0074] The formulation or composition can be a parenteral formulation or an oral formulation. The formulation can be a parenteral formulation, for example, a formulation for intravenous injection. The formulation can be an oral formulation.
[0075] The compound, formulation or composition of the present invention can be administered orally, topically, intravenously, subcutaneously, buccally, rectally, dermally, nasally, tracheally, bronchially, by any other parenteral route, by oral or nasal spray or by inhalation. The compound can be administered in the form of a pharmaceutical formulation, in a pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form, as the free compound or, for example, as a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic organic or inorganic acid or base addition salt. Depending on the disorder to be treated, the patient and the route of administration, the composition can be administered in various doses.
[0076] Therefore, generally, the pharmaceutical compound of the present invention can be administered to a host parenterally (as used herein, "parenteral" refers to a method of administration including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous and intra-articular injections and infusions) or orally to obtain an antibacterial effect. For example, the pharmaceutical compound of the present invention can be administered by intravenous injection or infusion. In the case of large animals such as humans, the compound can be administered alone or as a composition combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, additive or carrier.
[0077] The actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical formulations and compositions of the present invention can vary in order to obtain an amount of the active compound that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and method of administration. The selected dosage level will depend upon the activity of the particular compound, the route of administration, the severity of the condition being treated, and the condition and history of the patient being treated. However, it is within the skill of the art to initiate administration of the compound at a lower level than that required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. Suitable dosages are generally in the range of 0.01 to 100 mg / kg / day, for example in the range of 0.1 to 50 mg / kg / day.
[0078] The pharmaceutical formulations or compositions of the present invention for parenteral (e.g., intravenous) injection can be pharmaceutically acceptable sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions and sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions immediately prior to use.

The parenteral injectable formulations or compositions are preferred formulations or compositions of the present invention.
[0079] These compositions can also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the activity of microorganisms can be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol or phenolsorbic acid. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of injectable pharmaceutical forms can be brought about by the inclusion of agents that delay absorption (such as, aluminum monostearate and gelatin).

In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is generally mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable additive or carrier, e.g., sodium citrate or dipotassium phosphate and / or one or more: a) fillers or bulking agents, e.g., starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol and silicic acid; b) binders, e.g., carboxymethylcellulose, alginate, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose and acacia; c) wetting agents, e.g., glycerol; d) disintegrants, e.g., agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicic acid and sodium carbonate; e) solution retarders, e.g., paraffin; f) absorption accelerators, e.g., quaternary ammonium compounds; g) wetting agents, e.g., cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; h) absorbents, e.g., kaolin and bentonite clay; and i) lubricants, e.g., talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage form may also include a buffer. Similar types of solid compositions can also be used as fillers for soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules, for example, with additives such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycol.
[0081] Oral formulations may contain solubilizers. Examples of solubilizers include nonionic surfactants, such as sucrose fatty acid esters, glycerol fatty acid esters, sorbitan fatty acid esters (e.g., sorbitan trioleate), polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, methoxypolyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ethers, polyethylene glycol fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene alkylamines, polyoxyethylene alkyl thioethers, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene copolymers, polyoxyethylene glycerol fatty acid esters, and pentaerythritol fatty acid esters. The following are included: propylene glycol mono-fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene propylene glycol mono-fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene sorbitol fatty acid esters, fatty acid alkyl olamides and alkylamine oxides; bile acids and their salts (e.g., chenodeoxycholic acid, cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, dehydrocholic acid and their salts and their glycine or taurine conjugates); ionic surfactants, e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate, fatty acid soaps, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl phosphates, ether phosphates, fatty acid salts of basic amino acids; triethanolamine soaps and alkyl quaternary ammonium salts; and amphoteric surfactants, e.g., betaine and aminocarboxylate salts.

They may optionally contain opacifiers and may be compositions that release the active ingredient only in certain parts of the intestinal tract, predominantly, and / or in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions include polymeric substances and waxes.
[0083] The active compound may, if appropriate, be in the form of microencapsulation along with one or more of the above-mentioned additives.
[0084] The active compound may be in a micronized form, for example, it may be made into fine particles.
[0085] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active compound, the liquid dosage forms may include inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water or other solvents, solubilizers and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (especially cottonseed oil, peanut oil, corn oil, germ oil, olive oil, castor oil, and sesame oil), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and fatty acid esters of sorbitan and mixtures thereof. In addition to inert diluents, oral compositions may also include adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifiers and suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, and fragrances. In addition to the active compound, the suspension may contain suspending agents such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohol, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum methhydroxyl, bentonite, agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.
[0086] The rectal or vaginal administration composition may be in the form of a suppository, which can be prepared by mixing the compound of the present invention with a suitable non-irritating additive or carrier, such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or suppository wax, that is solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melts in the rectal or vaginal cavity to release the active compound.
[0087] The topical administration forms of the compounds of the present invention include powders, sprays, creams, foams, gels, ointments, and inhalants. The active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any necessary preservative, buffer, or propellant. Ophthalmic formulations, ophthalmic ointments, powders, and solutions are also intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
[0088] Liquid (e.g., aqueous) formulations and compositions, whether intended for non-enteral or oral use, may contain further compounds that help prevent the precipitation of the active compound. The compounds of the present invention are glycopeptide derivatives. Precipitation of such compounds in aqueous solutions can be avoided or minimized by incorporating monosaccharides into the solution. For example, aqueous formulations or compositions may contain glucose. In particular, non-enteral (e.g., intravenous injection) formulations or compositions may contain the compounds of the present invention, water for injection, and glucose.
[0089] The formulations or compositions of this subject matter may contain other activators, in particular intended for use in the treatment of bacterial infections, provided that they do not interfere with the activity of the compound.
[0090] The formulations described in this subject may also contain inactive ingredients. Suitable inactive ingredients are well known in this field, as seen in Goodman and Gillman's: The Pharmacological Bases of Therapeutics, 13 th Ed., Brunton et al., Eds. McGraw-Hill Education (2017) and Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17 th This is described in standard textbooks such as Ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. (1990), and both are included herein by citation.
[0091] The formulation may be used in combination with further pharmaceutical dosage forms to enhance its efficacy in treating any of the disorders described herein. In this regard, the formulation may be administered as part of a regimen further comprising any other pharmaceutical and / or pharmaceutical dosage forms known in the art to be effective in treating any of these disorders.
[0092] use The compound of the present invention is a novel guanidino-containing derivative of the glycopeptide vancomycin.
[0093] Vancomycin is an antibiotic active against Gram-positive bacteria because it interferes with the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer in Gram-positive bacteria through the following mechanism: Lipid II, the second-to-last building block of the bacterial cell wall, is crucial for peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Vancomycin tightly binds to the terminal d-Ala-d-Ala motif of the lipid II pentapeptide.
[0094] The increasing number of bacterial strains capable of utilizing lipid II variants containing the d-Ala-d-Lac termination pentapeptide has led to a rise in encounters with vancomycin resistance. This d-Ala mutation in d-Lac reduces vancomycin's affinity for lipid II, thereby significantly reducing its antibacterial effect (Healy, VL, et al. (2000) Vancomycin resistance in enterococci: reprogramming of the D-ala-D-Ala ligases in bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis, Chem Biol 7, R109-119; Blaskovich, MAT, et al. (2018) Developments in Glycopeptide Antibiotics, ACS Infect Dis 4, 715-735; Willyard, C. (2017) The drug-resistant bacteria that pose the greatest health threats, Nature 543, 15; all of these are incorporated herein by reference). We found that this mode of resistance is partially overcome by certain related glycolipid peptides in which the binding of hydrophobic groups to the vancosamine unit enhances its activity. This is exemplified by the clinically used drug telavancin (Blaskovich, MAT, et al. (2018) Developments in Glycopeptide Antibiotics, ACS Infect Dis 4, 715-735; Willyard, C. (2017) The drug-resistant bacteria that pose the greatest health threats, Nature 543, 15; Corey, GR, et al. (2009) Telavancin, Nat Rev Drug Discov 8, 929-930; all of these are incorporated herein by reference as a whole). Although telavancin is more potent than vancomycin, it does not escape this drawback.Compared to vancomycin, telavancin has significantly lower solubility in aqueous media and carries a severe health risk. The FDA recently applied a black box warning to telavancin due to suspected effects on heart rate (QT interval prolongation) and increased mortality compared to vancomycin in patients with renal impairment (included here as a whole by citation: Barriere, SL (2014) The ATTAIN trials: efficacy and safety of telavancin compared with vancomycin for the treatment of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia, Future Microbiol 9, 281-289). Teravancin is therefore considered a last resort drug and should only be used in cases where other treatments are ineffective.
[0095] The compounds provided herein are antibiotics, particularly those useful for treating conditions associated with infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The compounds of the present invention may provide similar or better antibiotic activity compared to known antibiotics such as vancomycin, teravancin, teicoplanin, oritabancin, and / or dalbavancin, as measured, for example, by MIC. The compounds of the present invention may also provide a favorable safety profile.

The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (μg / mL) was determined according to CLSI guidelines. Bacterial strains were cultured from glycerol stocks on blood agar plates and incubated at 37°C for 18 hours. Single colonies were transferred to tryptic soy broth (TSB) containing 0.002% polysorbate 80 (p80). Enterococcus, VISA, and VRSA strains were incubated at 37°C until the optical density of the suspension reached a level equivalent to 0.5 McFarland standards. The bacterial suspension was then divided into 10 6 The bacteria were grown in 0.002% p80-containing TSB until a bacterial cell concentration of CFU / mL was reached. For other (vancomycin-susceptible) Staphylococcus aureus strains, the direct colony suspension method was used. For these strains, the colonies were transferred to 0.002% p80-containing TSB and then 10 6 Diluted immediately to CFU / mL and not incubated before this dilution. For Streptococcus pneumoniae, directly transferred the colony suspension to a fresh blood agar plate with multiple colonies at 0.5 OD. 600Immediately suspend in TSB+0.002%p80, then in TSB+0.002%p80+5% horse blood for 10 minutes. 6 CFU mL -1 It was used after dilution to the specified amount. Antibiotic dilutions for this strain were also performed with TSB + 0.002% p80 + 5% equine hemolytic solution. Both agar and microplates containing Streptococcus pneumoniae were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 hours with constant stirring (600 rpm). For VRSA strains, 6 μg mL was used. -1 Vancomycin was added to this culture medium. The culture was then subjected to a logarithmic phase (OD). 600 The bacteria were grown at 37°C until the concentration reached 0.5%). The bacterial suspension was diluted with 0.002% p80-containing TSB (for VRSA, vancomycin was not added to this medium from this point onward, and 10 6 CFU mL -1 The bacterial cell concentration was brought to the desired level. In a polypropylene 96-well microtiter plate, the test compound was added as a biological triplicate, and sequentially diluted 2-fold by transferring it from one well to the next and mixing, until a final volume of 50 μL per well was achieved. Equivalent volumes of bacterial suspension (10 6 CFU mL -1 The ) was added to the wells. The plate was sealed with a permeable membrane and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours with constant stirring (600 rpm). In a polypropylene microtiter plate, 100 μL of the test compound was added to the first row as a biological triplicate, and 50 μL of medium was added to the other wells. The compound was serially diluted by moving 50 μL from one well to the next and mixing. Subsequently, 50 μL of the bacterial suspension (10 6 CFU / mL was added to the wells. The plates were sealed with a permeable membrane and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours with constant agitation (600 rpm). Positive growth controls consisted of wells containing bacterial suspension but no antibiotics. Negative growth controls consisted of only bacterial suspension or antibiotic-free medium. MICs were determined from the median of the smallest triplicates. MICs in the presence of serum followed the same protocol, but TSB + 0.002% p80 + 50% serum was used as the growth medium.
[0102] hemolysis Four mL of defibrinated sheep blood was centrifuged at 400 g at 4°C for 15 minutes. The upper layer was discarded, and the lower layer was washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and centrifuged at 400 g at 4°C for 15 minutes. The washing cycle was repeated three times. Polypropylene microtiter plates were prepared by adding 150 μL of PBS containing 0.002% p80 of the compound (256 μg / mL, containing ≤1% DMSO) to the first row as a biological triplicate. 75 μL of PBS containing 0.002% p80 was added to all other wells. The compound was serially diluted by transferring 75 μL from one well to the next and mixing. Concentrated blood cells were diluted 25-fold with PBS containing 0.002% p80, and 75 μL of this solution was added to all wells. The final concentrations of the test compound in the plates ranged from 2 to 128 μg / mL. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 18 hours with continuous shaking (500 rpm). After incubation, the plates were centrifuged at 800 g for 5 minutes, and 25 μL of the supernatant was added to a UV-star flat-bottom polystyrene plate. 100 μL of MQ-H2O was added to all wells of the UV-star plate, and absorption was measured at 415 nm. The positive control well (100% hemolysis) consisted of 0.1% Triton X-100 containing blood cells. The negative control well (no hemolysis) consisted of 1% DMSO containing blood cells. In a separate experiment, the optimal wavelength for the hemolysis assay was determined by performing a full scan. In yet another experiment, the linear detection range was determined based on the 25-fold blood cell dilution selected in the main experiment.
[0103] UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide accumulation Overnight cultures of bacterial suspensions (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29213, Faecium faecium E155, Faecium faecium E7314, and Faecium faecium E980) were diluted 100-fold with 0.002% p80 supplemented TSB and incubated at 37°C until the optical density of the suspension reached a level equivalent to 0.5 McFarland standard. Chloramphenicol was added to a final concentration of 130 μg / mL, and the cultures were incubated for a further 15 minutes at 37°C. Next, the cultures were divided into 5 mL cultures, and test antibiotics (vancomycin, 5, 6, 7, 14, 16) were added to a final concentration of 5 μM. Vancomycin (5 μM) was used as a positive control, and the untreated samples were used as a negative control. The cultures were incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, and then centrifuged to pelletize the bacteria. The supernatant was removed, and the pellets were resuspended in 1 mL MQ-H2O. The sample was boiled at 100°C for 15 minutes, followed by centrifugation at 12000 rpm for 30 minutes. The supernatant was lyophilized and resuspended in 250 μL of buffer A (50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, 5 mM NEt3, pH 8.3). The sample was analyzed by analytical RP-HPLC using a 0–25% buffer B (MeOH) gradient over 25 minutes.
[0104] Lipid II antagonist assay Lipid II in chloroform was added to a 96-well plate in an appropriate amount (5-fold molar excess compared to the test antibiotics), and the chloroform was evaporated. The test antibiotics (vancomycin, teravancin, 5, 6, 7, 14, 16) were dissolved in DMSO at a high storage concentration of 12.8 mg / mL, and then diluted to a concentration of 16 × MIC in 0.002% p80-containing TSB (maximum DMSO content not exceeding 1%). 50 μL of these dilutions were mixed in triplicate with 5-fold molar excess pure lipid II in the plate, and triplicate was also added to the plate in the absence of lipid II. Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29123 colonies were suspended in 0.002% p80-containing TSB by direct colony suspension until the optical density reached a level equivalent to 0.5 McFarland standard. The bacterial suspension was diluted with 0.002% p80-containing TSB and 10 6CFU / mL was obtained, and 50 μL was added to the test compound in the microplate to obtain the final concentration of the test compound at 8×MIC. The samples were incubated at 37°C for 24 hours with constant stirring (600 rpm), and bacterial growth was visually observed. The positive growth control consisted of wells containing bacterial suspension but without antibiotics or lipid II. The negative growth control consisted only of culture medium without bacterial suspension, antibiotics, or lipid II.
[0105] Resistance Acquisition Serial Passaging Assay Bacterial strains were cultured from glycerol stocks on blood agar plates and incubated overnight at 37°C. Single colonies were analyzed using TSB+0.002% p80 in a logarithmic phase (OD). 600 The cultures were grown to a MIC of 0.5 and diluted 1:100 with fresh medium. In a 96-well polypropylene microtiter plate, the antibiotic was added as a biological triplicate, and sequentially diluted 2-fold by moving from one well to the next and mixing, until a final volume of 50 μL per well was achieved. Equal volumes of bacterial suspension were added to the wells, and the plates were incubated overnight at 37°C. Bacterial cultures corresponding to 0.25 × MIC were diluted 100-fold with fresh medium and added to a newly prepared antibiotic dilution series (50 μL / well), followed by overnight incubation at 37°C. This process was repeated for 30 days, and the MIC was recorded daily. 50 mg L of daptomycin was added to the daptomycin-containing culture. -1 CaCl2 and 10 mg L -1 MgSO4 was added. The experiment was performed using biological replicates, and for each replicate, the MIC was determined from the median of the smallest triplicate.
[0106] Time-kill assay Bacterial strains were cultured from glycerol stocks on blood agar plates and incubated overnight at 37°C. Subsequently, single colonies were cultured overnight at 37°C in TSB + 0.002% p80. The cultures were diluted 100-fold with fresh medium and subjected to the early logarithmic phase (OD). 600 Grow until it reaches (0.2-0.4), then in culture medium. 600The culture was diluted to 0.0025. The culture was divided into separate culture tubes containing 2 mL. Antibiotics were added to the culture (at the concentrations shown in the experimental results) and incubated at 37°C for a total of 24 hours. At the indicated time points (t=0, t=1, t=2, t=4, t=8 and t=24 hours), 100 μL of each culture was transferred to an Eppendorf container and centrifuged for 5 minutes (10,000 rpm). The supernatant was removed and the cell pellet was resuspended in an equal volume of 0.9% NaCl aqueous solution (filter-sterilized). The samples were sequentially diluted 10-fold with filter-sterilized 0.9% NaCl aqueous solution. These series of dilutions, 100-fold, 1,000-fold, 10,000-fold and 100,000-fold, were seeded onto blood agar plates (20 μL) in duplicate, followed by evaporation and incubation at 37°C for 24 hours. The colonies were counted, and considering the dilution factor, the amount of CFU remaining in the original medium was calculated as mL. -1 This was used to calculate [the value]. The experiment was conducted using biological duplicates.
[0107] HepG2 cytotoxicity assay Mammalian cytotoxicity assays were performed using Cyprotex. Cytotoxicity was evaluated using the MTT assay. Briefly, HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (100 μL / well) were seeded in 96-well polystyrene tissue cultures with black walls and clear bottoms that had been treated for 24 hours prior to cell administration. The test compound (dissolved in 0.5% DMSO in 10% FBS-containing growth medium) was added to the cells at a range of concentrations (0.04 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.4 μM, 1 μM, 4 μM, 10 μM, 40 μM, 100 μM). After 23 hours, the cells were loaded with the MTT dye (yellow; 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) and subsequently incubated for another hour (total incubation time with antibiotics was 24 hours). Next, the plates are dried, dissolved in DMSO, and then scanned at 570 nm using a microplate absorbance reader. Cell viability is determined by the conversion of soluble MTT to insoluble formazan (purple) by mitochondrial hydrogenase in viable cells. Formazan indicates loss of mitochondrial function and cell loss. Carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone is used as no response control, and chlorpromazine is used as a control known to be cytotoxic. Then, the significance limit is determined for wells with fractions exceeding the prediction for low or high responders using a solvent control well (0.5% DMSO in growth medium containing 10% FBS). The minimum effective concentration is determined from the lowest concentration where the mean is above the significance level, as long as a clear dose-response correlation is observed or at least two consecutive concentration points are above the significance level. 50 The value was determined. The experiment was conducted using triplicates.

The obtained residue was dissolved in HCl (100 mL) and washed with water (2 × 100 mL) and brine (2 × 100 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was redissolved in HCl, and concentrated aqueous solution (2 mL) was added to precipitate it. H₂O was added to HCl, and the layers were separated. The pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted with 4N NaOH, and it was extracted with DCM (2 ×). The DCM layers were combined, dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue, redissolved in DCM, was precipitated by adding 4N HCl in dioxane.

[0124] Example 11: Synthesis of 5b-16b Compounds 5b–16b were synthesized and purified using their corresponding precursors (5a–16a) according to the protocol described in 4b. The results for these compounds are summarized in Table 3. [Table 3-1] [Table 3-2] [Table 3-3] [Table 3-4] [Table 3-5] [Table 3-6]
[0125] Example 12: Synthesis of 17b and 18b Compounds 17b and 18a were synthesized and purified using their corresponding precursors (17a and 18a) according to the protocol described in 4b. The results for these compounds are summarized in Table 4. [Table 4]
[0126] Example 13: Synthesis of 4c [ka] To a 4 mL solution of 4b (178 mg, 538 μmol, 2 equivalents) in DMF / MeOH, vancomycin hydrochloride (400 mg, 269 μmol, 1 equivalent) and DIPEA (0.23 mL, 1.35 mmol, 5 equivalents) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred under reflux at 70°C for 2 hours, then NaBH3CN (169 mg, 2.69 mmol, 10 equivalents) was added and the reaction temperature was lowered to 50°C. After 5 hours, another 10 equivalents of NaBH3CN (169 mg, 2.69 mmol) were added, and after 18 hours, 10 equivalents of NaBH3CN (169 mg, 2.69 mmol) and 1 equivalent of 4b (89 mg, 269 μmol) were added. After another 18 hours, the reaction mixture was stopped by adding water. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, the residue was redissolved in DMF, and precipitated twice with cold diethyl ether. The precipitate was dried and used as a crude product in the next step.
[0127] Example 14: Synthesis of 5c~16c Compounds 5c to 16c were synthesized using their corresponding aldehyde precursors (5b to 16b) according to the protocol for 4c described above. All compounds 5c to 16c were used crudely in the subsequent reaction step.
[0128] Example 15: Synthesis of 17c and 18c Compounds 17c and 18c were synthesized using their corresponding aldehyde precursors (17b and 18b) according to the protocol described in 4c. Compounds 17c and 18c were all used crudely in the subsequent reaction step.
[0129] Example 16: Synthesis of 4 [ka] To a solution of crude 4c (269 μmol, 1 equivalent) in dried DMF (5 mL), Pd(PPh3)4 (78 mg, 67 μmol, 0.25 equivalents) and phenylsilane (0.83 mL, 6.7 mmol, 25 equivalents) were added under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred under an argon atmosphere at RT for 1 hour. After deprotection was complete, the reaction was stopped with water and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was redissolved in a mixture of buffer A (50 mM ammonium acetate) and 20% buffer B (95% MeCN, 5% water), and the mixture was centrifuged to remove all solid residue. The supernatant was subjected to preparative RP-HPLC, and the product was purified using a 20–55% buffer B gradient over 50 minutes. The purity of the fraction was evaluated by analytical RP-HPLC using a 0–100% buffer B gradient over 30 minutes. The pure fraction was collected and lyophilized to obtain a white powder. The purity of the final stored compound was evaluated by analytical RP-HPLC using a 0-100% buffer B gradient over 60 minutes. Yield over two steps: 54.4%. HR-MS: m / z 840.3100 (measured), 840.3097 ([M+2H + (Calculated for ] / 2). Retention time RP-HPLC analysis: 20.37 minutes.
[0130] Example 17: Synthesis of 5-16 Compounds 5–16 were synthesized using their corresponding precursors (5c–16c) according to the protocol described in section 4. The preparative RP-HPLC purification buffer gradient was adjusted for each compound based on the hydrophobicity of the R group present. Furthermore, the percentage of buffer B present in the initial solvent system during preparative RP-HPLC (from 20% to 50%) was similarly adjusted based on the hydrophobicity of the R group. The results for these compounds are shown in Table 5. [Table 5]
[0131] Example 18: Synthesis of 17 and 18 Compounds 17 and 18 were synthesized using their corresponding precursors (17c and 18c) according to the protocol described in 4. The preparative RP-HPLC purification buffer gradient was adjusted for each compound based on the hydrophobicity of the R group present. Furthermore, the percentage of buffer B present in the initial solvent system in preparative RP-HPLC (from 20% to 50%) was similarly adjusted based on the hydrophobicity of the R group. The results for these compounds are shown in Table 6. [Table 6]
[0132] Example 19: Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Assay The activity of the compounds was evaluated against a population of Gram-positive bacteria using MIC assays. In this assay, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MDI), which represents the lowest test concentration at which visible bacterial growth is inhibited, was determined and compared to clinically used antibiotics. Compared to clinically used glycopeptides, almost all compounds exhibited equivalent or superior activity against most of the MRSA, MSSA, VRE, VSE, VISA, VRSA, and Streptococcus pneumoniae strains tested. In some cases (depending on the compound and bacteria tested), there was a 1000-fold increase in activity compared to vancomycin (the obtained data are summarized in Table 7, with MIC values shown in μg / mL). Further MIC data are provided in Tables 8-12. [Table 7] [Table 8] [Table 9] [Table 10-1] [Table 10-2] [Table 11] [Table 12]
[0133] The activity of the compound, In the presence of sheep serum, against 300 strains of MRSA USA, Further evaluation was performed using other MIC assays. Unlike the standard MIC assay, which uses TSB + 0.002% P80 + 50% sheep serum as the growth medium, cultures grown in the presence of serum were used. [Table 13]
[0134] Example 20: Compound testing in hemolysis assay In hemolysis assays, sheep blood was treated with the test compound for 18 hours to determine whether the compound lysed these blood cells. Overall, it appeared that the percentage of hemolysis increased similarly with increasing lipid length. However, even at a 1000x MIC (for some strains), many compounds did not exhibit hemolytic activity, meaning these compounds are non-hemolytic at the relevant concentrations (the obtained data are summarized in Figure 1).
[0135] Example 21: Testing of compounds in UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide accumulation assay A UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide accumulation assay was performed to elucidate part of the mechanism of action of the compounds. UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide is the final soluble precursor in peptidoglycan cell wall biosynthesis. In this assay, viable cells accumulate this final soluble precursor when treated with compounds that interfere with the membrane-binding step of peptidoglycan biosynthesis (Sass, V. et al. Human beta-defensin 3 inhibits cell wall biosynthesis in Staphylococci. Infect. Immun. 78, 2793-2800 (2010)). Five compounds (5, 6, 7, 14, 16) were assayed in this test, and all showed accumulation of UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide (data obtained are summarized in Figure 2), similar to glycopeptides used clinically (data not shown). This indicates that part of the molecular mechanism of action involves interference with cell wall biosynthesis in Gram-positive bacteria. The assay was performed using Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29213 (shown in Figure 2), Faecium faecium E155, Faecium faecium E7314, and Faecium faecium E980. Accumulation of UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide was visible in all of these strains for all test compounds (data not shown).
[0136] Example 22: Compound testing in lipid II antagonist assay Lipid II is a known target of vancomycin and other glycopeptides (Ling, LL et al. A new antibiotic kills pathogens without detectable resistance. Nature 517, 455 (2015); Breukink, E. & de Kruijff, B. Lipid II as a target for antibiotics. Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 5, 321-323 (2006)). In the antagonism assay, Lipid II is co-incubated with the test antibiotic in the presence of a bacterial culture. When Lipid II binds to glycopeptides, the binding of these antibiotics to their targets in the growing bacterial culture is antagonized. The final result is a decrease in antibiotic activity and the visualization of bacterial growth that is not normally observed (at 8×MIC). Therefore, this assay is used to determine whether part of the mechanism of action of this compound involves binding to Lipid II. Bacterial growth was observed after co-incubation with lipid II for all five test compounds (5, 6, 7, 14, 16), indicating that binding of the compounds to lipid II is part of the mechanism of action, similar to other clinically used glycopeptide antibiotics (the obtained data are summarized in Table 11). [Table 14]
[0137] Example 23: Testing of compounds in a resistance acquisition serial passaging assay. The resistance acquisition serial passage assay was performed as described in the "Assay" section. The results obtained from this assay are shown in Figure 3. Clearly, when MRSA was serially passaged for 30 days in the presence of sublethal antibiotic concentrations, compounds 5 and 16 did not induce resistance, while daptomycin, which is used clinically, induced a significant level of resistance 16 times the MIC. This difference was even more pronounced in VanA-type VRE strains: low levels of resistance induction were observed with compounds 5 and 16, whereas daptomycin induced a high level of resistance 128 times the MIC.
[0138] Example 24: Compound testing in a time-kill assay The time-kill assay was performed as described in the "Assassination" section. The results obtained from this assay are shown in Figure 4.
[0139] Example 25: Mammalian Cytotoxicity Assay The mammalian cytotoxicity assay was performed as described in the "Assay" section. The results of this assay are shown in Table 12. [Table 15]
[0140] Example 26: In vivo study Several in vivo studies were conducted as described here in the "Assays" section. In particular, the tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of the compounds were evaluated.
[0141] Tolerance Two mice were well-tolerated after being administered compound 5 at a dose of 100 mg / kg (SC). No adverse effects were observed, and normal macroscopic morphology was observed.
[0142] PK Compound 5 was administered to mice at a dose of 3 mg / kg. -1 The drug was administered subcutaneously, followed by continuous sampling. Data are mean ± SD (n=3). The obtained PK data are shown in Figure 5 and Table 13. [Table 16]
[0143] Effectiveness Colony-forming units in neutropenic mice were obtained by infecting each thigh with MRSA, administering the antibiotic subcutaneously at the indicated concentration 1 hour later, followed by administration at the same dose at the indicated intervals. The mice were sacrificed 23 hours after treatment (24 hours after infection), and bacterial load was determined in the homogenized thighs. (Various media and 25 mg / kg) -1 Vancomycin (Q12H) and media and 3 mg kg -1 and 10 mg kg -1 A significant difference was observed in compound 5(q6h) of both compounds (overall p<0.0001). 25 mg kg -1 Vancomycin and 10 mg kg -1 A similar significant difference was observed with compound 5 (p<0.0001), while with 25 mg kg -1 Vancomycin and 3 mg kg -1 No significant difference was observed in compound 5. Significant differences were observed in two different compound 5 doses (p=0.0001). Vancomycin (25 mg kg -1 ) and compound 5 (3 mg kg -1 and 10 mg kg -1 The treatment also showed a significant reduction in thigh load compared to before treatment (p=0.0042, p=0.0001, and p<0.0001, respectively). Data are mean ± SEM (n=12, 6 mice / group, 2 thighs / mouse). The data obtained from this efficacy study are shown in Figure 6. [Table 17]
