FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds, their preparation and their use in preventing and/or treating bacterial infections.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Emergence of bacterial resistance to known antibacterial agents is becoming a major challenge in treating bacterial infections. One way forward to treat bacterial infections, and especially those caused by resistant bacteria, is to develop newer antibacterial agents that can overcome the bacterial resistance. Coates et al. (Br. J. Pharmacol. 2007; 152(8), 1147-1154.) have reviewed novel approaches to developing new antibiotics. However, the development of new antibacterial agents is a challenging task. For example, Gwynn et al. (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010, 1213: 5-19) have reviewed the challenges in the discovery of antibacterial agents.
Several antibacterial agents have been described in the prior art (for example, see PCT International Application Nos. PCT/US2010/060923, PCT/EP2010/067647, PCT/US2010/052109, PCT/US2010/048109, PCT/GB2009/050609, PCT/EP2009/056178 and PCT/US2009/041200). However, there remains a need for potent antibacterial agents for preventing and/or treating bacterial infections, including those caused by bacteria that are resistant to known antibacterial agents.
The inventors have surprisingly discovered nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds with antibacterial properties.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Reference will now be made to the exemplary embodiments, and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It should nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein, and additional applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention. It must be noted that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. All references including patents, patent applications, and literature cited in the specification are expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The inventors have surprisingly discovered novel nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds having antibacterial properties.
The term “C1-C6 alkyl” as used herein refers to branched or unbranched acyclic hydrocarbon radical with 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Typical, non-limiting examples of “C1-C6 alkyl” include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, iso-pentyl, n-hexyl and the like. The “C1-C6 alkyl” may be unsubstituted, or substituted with one or more substituents. Typical, non-limiting examples of such substituents include halogen, alkoxy, CN, COOH, CONH2, OH, —NH2, —NHCOCH3, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, aryl and the like.
The term “cycloalkyl” as used herein refers to three to seven member cyclic hydrocarbon radicals. The cycloalkyl group optionally incorporates one or more double or triple bonds, or a combination of double bonds and triple bonds, but which is not aromatic. Typical, non-limiting examples of cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, and cycloheptane. The cycloalkyl may be unsubstituted, or substituted with one or more substituents. Typical, non-limiting examples of such substituents include C1-C6 alkyl, halogen, alkoxy, CN, COOH, CONH2, OH, NH2, NHCOCH3, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, aryl, SO2-alkyl, SO2-aryl, OSO2-alkyl, —OSO2-aryl and the like.
The term “heterocyclyl” as used herein refers to four to seven member cycloalkyl group containing one or more heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur. The heterocycloalkyl group optionally incorporates one or more double or triple bonds, or a combination of double bonds and triple bonds, but which is not aromatic. Typical, non-limiting examples of heterocycloalkyl groups include azetidine, pyrrolidine, 2-oxo-pyrrolidine, imidazolidin-2-one, piperidine, oxazine, thiazine, piperazine, piperazin-2,3-dione, morpholine, thiamorpholine, azapane, and the like. The heterocycloalkyl may be unsubstituted, or substituted with one or more substituents. Typical, non-limiting examples of such substituents include C1-C6 alkyl, halogen, alkoxy, CN, COOH, CONH2, OH, NH2, NHCOCH3, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, aryl, SO2-alkyl, SO2-aryl, OSO2-alkyl, OSO2-aryl and the like.
The term “aryl” as used herein refers to a monocyclic or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. Typical, non-limiting examples of aryl groups include phenyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl, fluorenyl, phenanthrenyl, and the like. The aryl group may be unsubstituted, or substituted with one or more substituents. Typical, non-limiting examples of such substituents include C1-C6 alkyl, halogen, alkoxy, CN, COOH, CONH2, OH, NH2, NHCOCH3, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, aryl, SO2-alkyl, SO2-aryl, OSO2-alkyl, OSO2-aryl and the like.
The term “heteroaryl” as used herein refers to a monocyclic or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon group wherein one or more carbon atoms have been replaced with heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. If the heteroaryl group contains more than one heteroatom, the heteroatoms may be the same or different. Typical, non-limiting example of heteroaryl groups include 1,2,4-oxadiazol, 1,3,4-oxadiazol, 1,3,4-thiadiazol, 1,2,3,4-tetrazol, 1,3-oxazol, 1,3-thiazole, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, pyridazine, furan, pyrrol, thiophene, imidazole, pyrazole, benzofuran, benzothiophene, benzimidazole, benzoxazole, benzothiazole, thiazole, and the like.

The term “stereoisomers” as used herein refers to compounds that have identical chemical constitution, but differ with regard to the arrangement of their atoms or groups in space. The compounds of Formula (I) may contain asymmetric or chiral centers and, therefore, exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended, unless specified otherwise, that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of Formula (I) as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. In addition, the present invention embraces all geometric and positional isomers (including cis and trans-forms), as well as mixtures thereof, are embraced within the scope of the invention. In general, a reference to a compound is intended to cover its stereoisomers and mixture of various stereoisomers.
The term “optionally substituted” as used herein means that substitution is optional and therefore includes both unsubstituted and substituted atoms and moieties. A “substituted” atom or moiety indicates that any hydrogen on the designated atom or moiety can be replaced with a selection from the indicated substituent group, provided that the normal valency of the designated atom or moiety is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” as used herein refers to one or more salts of a given compound which possesses the desired pharmacological activity of the free compound and which are neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable. In general, the “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to salts that are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human and animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge, et al. (J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 66: 1-19 (1977)), incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, describes various pharmaceutically acceptable salts in details.
In general, the compounds according to the invention contain basic (e.g. nitrogen atoms) as well as acid moieties (e.g. compounds of Formula (I) wherein M is hydrogen). A person of skills in the art would appreciate that such compounds, therefore, can form acidic salts (formed with inorganic and/or organic acids), as well as basic salts (formed with inorganic and/or organic bases). Such salts can be prepared using procedures described in the art. For example, the basic moiety can be converted to its salt by treating a compound with a suitable amount of acid. Typical, non-limiting examples of such suitable acids include hydrochloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulphonic acid, or the like. Alternatively, the acid moiety may be converted into its salt by treating with a suitable base. Typical non-limiting examples of such bases include sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate or the like. In case of compounds containing more than one functional groups capable of being converted into salt, each such functional group may be converted to salt independently. For example, in case of compounds containing two basic nitrogen atoms, one basic nitrogen can form salt with one acid while the other basic nitrogen can form salt with another acid. Some compounds according to the invention contain both, acidic as well as basic moieties, and thus can form inner salts or corresponding zwitterions. In general, all pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of compounds of Formula (I) according to invention including acid addition salts, base addition salts, zwitterions or the like are contemplated to be within the scope of the present invention and are generically referred to as pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
The term “halogen” or “halo” as used herein refers to chlorine, bromine, fluorine, or iodine.
The term “infection” or “bacterial infection” as used herein includes presence of bacteria, in or on a subject, which, if its growth were inhibited, would result in a benefit to the subject. As such, the term “infection” in addition to referring to the presence of bacteria also refers to normal flora, which is not desirable. The term “infection” includes infection caused by bacteria.
The term “treat”, “treating” or “treatment” as used herein refers to administering a medicament, including a pharmaceutical composition, or one or more pharmaceutically active ingredients, for prophylactic and/or therapeutic purposes. The term “prophylactic treatment” refers to treating a subject who is not yet infected, but who is susceptible to, or otherwise at a risk of infection (preventing the bacterial infection). The term “therapeutic treatment” refers to administering treatment to a subject already suffering from infection. The terms “treat”, “treating” or “treatment” as used herein also refer to administering compositions or one or more of pharmaceutically active ingredients discussed herein, with or without additional pharmaceutically active or inert ingredients, in order to: (i) reduce or eliminate either a bacterial infection or one or more symptoms of the bacterial infection, or (ii) retard the progression of a bacterial infection or of one or more symptoms of the bacterial infection, or (iii) reduce the severity of a bacterial infection or of one or more symptoms of the bacterial infection, or (iv) suppress the clinical manifestation of a bacterial infection, or (v) suppress the manifestation of adverse symptoms of the bacterial infection.
The term “pharmaceutically effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” as used herein refers to an amount, which has a therapeutic effect or is the amount required to produce a therapeutic effect in a subject. For example, a therapeutically or pharmaceutically effective amount of an antibacterial agent or a pharmaceutical composition is the amount of the antibacterial agent or the pharmaceutical composition required to produce a desired therapeutic effect as may be judged by clinical trial results, model animal infection studies, and/or in vitro studies (e.g. in agar or broth media). The pharmaceutically effective amount depends on several factors, including but not limited to, the microorganism (e.g. bacteria) involved, characteristics of the subject (for example height, weight, sex, age and medical history), severity of infection and the particular type of the antibacterial agent used. For prophylactic treatments, a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount is that amount which would be effective in preventing a microbial (e.g. bacterial) infection.
The term “administration” or “administering” includes delivery of a composition or one or more pharmaceutically active ingredients to a subject, including for example, by any appropriate methods, which serves to deliver the composition or its active ingredients or other pharmaceutically active ingredients to the site of the infection. The method of administration may vary depending on various factors, such as for example, the components of the pharmaceutical composition or the nature of the pharmaceutically active or inert ingredients, the site of the potential or actual infection, the microorganism involved, severity of the infection, age and physical condition of the subject and a like. Some non-limiting examples of ways to administer a composition or a pharmaceutically active ingredient to a subject according to this invention includes oral, intravenous, topical, intrarespiratory, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, parenteral, sublingual, transdermal, intranasal, aerosol, intraocular, intratracheal, intrarectal, vaginal, gene gun, dermal patch, eye drop, ear drop or mouthwash. In case of a pharmaceutical composition comprising more than one ingredient (active or inert), one of way of administering such composition is by admixing the ingredients (e.g. in the form of a suitable unit dosage form such as tablet, capsule, solution, powder and a like) and then administering the dosage form. Alternatively, the ingredients may also be administered separately (simultaneously or one after the other) as long as these ingredients reach beneficial therapeutic levels such that the composition as a whole provides a synergistic and/or desired effect.
The term “growth” as used herein refers to a growth of one or more microorganisms and includes reproduction or population expansion of the microorganism (e.g. bacteria). The term also includes maintenance of on-going metabolic processes of a microorganism, including processes that keep the microorganism alive.
The term, “effectiveness” as used herein refers to ability of a treatment or a composition or one or more pharmaceutically active ingredients to produce a desired biological effect in a subject. For example, the term “antibacterial effectiveness” of a composition or an antibacterial agent refers to the ability of the composition or the antibacterial agent to prevent or treat the microbial (e.g. bacterial) infection in a subject.
The term “synergistic” or “synergy” as used herein refers to the interaction of two or more agents so that their combined effect is greater than their individual effects.
The term “antibacterial agent” as used herein refers to any substance, compound or a combination of substances or a combination compounds capable of: (i) inhibiting, reducing or preventing growth of bacteria; (ii) inhibiting or reducing ability of a bacteria to produce infection in a subject; or (iii) inhibiting or reducing ability of bacteria to multiply or remain infective in the environment. The term “antibacterial agent” also refers to compounds capable of decreasing infectivity or virulence of bacteria.
The term “beta-lactam antibacterial agent” as used herein refers to compounds with antibacterial properties and containing a beta-lactam nucleus in their molecular structure.
The term “beta-lactamase” as used herein refers to any enzyme or protein or any other substance that breaks down a beta-lactam ring. The term “beta-lactamase” includes enzymes that are produced by bacteria and have the ability to hydrolyze the beta-lactam ring in a beta-lactam compound, either partially or completely.
The term “beta-lactamase inhibitor” as used herein refers to a compound capable of inhibiting activity of one or more beta-lactamase enzymes, either partially or completely.
The term “pharmaceutically inert ingredient” or “carrier” or “excipient” refers to a compound or material used to facilitate administration of a compound, including for example, to increase the solubility of the compound. Typical, non-limiting examples of solid carriers include, starch, lactose, dicalcium phosphate, sucrose, and kaolin and so on. Typical, non-limiting examples of liquid carriers include, sterile water, saline, buffers, non-ionic surfactants, and edible oils such as oil, peanut and sesame oils and so on. In addition, various adjuvants commonly used in the art may be included. These and other such compounds are described in the literature, for example, in the Merck Index (Merck & Company, Rahway, N.J.). Considerations for inclusion of various components in pharmaceutical compositions are described, for example, in Gilman et al. (Eds.) (1990); Goodman and Gilman's: The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th Ed., Pergamon Press., which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

As per Scheme-5, trans-6-benzyloxy-7-oxo-1,6-diaza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylic acid compound (1a), was reacted with suitably substituted aryl or alkyl amidoxime in the presence of a suitable coupling agent (for example, EDC hydrochloride, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), or pivalyl chloride) in a suitable solvent (for example N,N dimethyl formamide, N,N dimethyl acetamide, 1,4 dioxane or chloroform) and in presence of a suitable base (for example, N-methyl morpholine, triethylamine or diisopropyl ethylamine) and N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) at a temperature ranging from about −5° C. to 60° C., for about 1 to 24 hours to provide intermediate compound (5b).




The cyclization of intermediate compound (5b) was achieved by refluxing intermediate compound (5b) in pyridine for about 1 to 24 hours to provide cyclized intermediate compound (5c).
The cyclized intermediate compound (5c) was subjected for hydrogenolysis by using a suitable catalyst (for example, 5% or 10% palladium on carbon, or 20% palladium hydroxide on carbon) in presence of a suitable hydrogen source (for example, hydrogen gas, ammonium formate, or cyclohexene) in a suitable solvent (for example, methanol, ethanol, methanol-ethyl acetate mixture, N,N dimethyl formamide dichloromethane mixture) at a temperature ranging from about 25° C. to 60° C. for about 1 to 24 hours to provide N-hydroxy intermediate compound (5d).
The intermediate compound (5d) was sulfonated by reacting it with a suitable sulfonating reagent (for example, pyridine sulfur trioxide complex, or N,N-dimethyl formamide sulfur trioxide complex) in a suitable solvent (for example, pyridine, N,N-dimethyl formamide, dichloromethane or a mixture thereof) at a temperature ranging from about −5° C. to 50° C. for about 0.5 to 24 hours to provide pyridine salt of sulfonic acid which subsequently was treated with tetrabutyl ammonium acetate to provide terabutylammonium salt of sulfonic acid intermediate compound (5e).
The compound of invention was isolated as a sodium salt by passing intermediate 5e through sodium form of Amberlite 200C resin in aqueous tetrahydrofuran followed by evaporation of solvent fractions under vacuum. Alternatively, when R contains tert-butoxycarbonyl group or alkylsilyl group then compound of invention was isolated as zwitterions by treating intermediate (5e) with trifluoroacetic acid in the absence of solvent or in the presence of a suitable solvent (for example, dichloromethane, chloroform, or acetonitrile) at a temperature ranging from about −10° C. to 40° C. for about 1 to 14 hours.
