FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel [3.1.0]bicyclohexyl phenyloxazolidinone derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, methods for their use, and methods for preparing the bicyclic derivatives. These compounds display potent activities against gram-positive and/or gram-negative bacteria.
BACKGROUND
Due to ever-increasing antibiotic resistance, structurally novel antibacterials with a new mode of action have become increasingly important in the treatment of bacterial infections. Effective antibacterials should exhibit potent activity against a number of human and veterinary pathogens, including gram-positive aerobic bacteria such as multiply-resistant staphylococci and streptococci, anaerobic organisms such as bacteroides and clostridia species, and acid-fast organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium. The present invention provides structurally novel pharmaceutical compounds with expanded spectrum of antibacterial activity.
Among newer antibacterial agents, oxazolidinone compounds are the most recent synthetic class of antimicrobials active against a number of pathogenic microorganisms. However, oxazolidinones generally do not demonstrate useful levels of activity against aerobic gram-negative organisms. Thus, the use of these oxazolidinone antibacterial agents is limited to infectious states caused by gram-positive bacteria. We have now discovered that [3.1.0] bicyclohexylphenyl oxazolidinone derivatives and analogues of the present invention possess enhanced anti-gram-positive activity and/or expand the spectrum of antimicrobial activity to include gram-negative organisms such as Haemophilus influenza and Moraxella catarrhalis. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel [3.1.0]bicyclohexyl phenyl-oxazolidinone derivatives that display potent activities against gram-positive and/or gram-negative bacteria. The present invention also relates pharmaceutical compositions, methods of use, and methods for preparing these [3.1.0]bicyclohexyl phenyloxazolidinone derivatives.

An N-linked heterocyclic ring is a heterocyclic group as defined above wherein the group is attached via a nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic ring.
“Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may, but need not, occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “aryl group optionally mono- or di-substituted with an alkyl group” means that the alkyl may but need not be present, and the description includes situations where the aryl group is mono- or disubstituted with an alkyl group and situations where the aryl group is not substituted with the alkyl group.
Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers”. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”.
Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.
The compounds of this invention may possess one or more asymmetric centers; such compounds can therefore be produced as individual (R)- or (S)- stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof. Unless indicated otherwise, the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both individual enantiomers and mixtures, racemic or otherwise, thereof. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art (see discussion in Chapter 4 of “Advanced Organic Chemistry”, 4th edition J. March, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1992).
A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” means a carrier that is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and includes a carrier that is acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. “A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” as used in the specification and claims includes both one and more than one such carrier.
A “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” of a compound means a salt that is pharmaceutically acceptable and that possesses the desired pharmacological activity of the parent compound. Such salts include:

    
    
        (1) acid addition salts, formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like; or formed with organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, cyclopentanepropionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 1,2-ethanedisulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 4-toluenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, 4-methylbicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid, glucoheptonic acid, 4,4′-methylenebis-(3-hydroxy-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid), 3-phenylpropionic acid, trimethylacetic acid, tertiary butylacetic acid, lauryl sulfuric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, hydroxynaphthoic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, muconic acid, and the like; or
        (2) salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound either is replaced by a metal ion, e.g., an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth ion, or an aluminum ion; or coordinates with an organic base such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, N-methylglucamine, and the like.
         “Treating” or “treatment” of a disease includes:
        
            (1) preventing the disease, i.e. causing the clinical symptoms of the disease not to develop in a mammal that may be exposed to or predisposed to the disease but does not yet experience or display symptoms of the disease,
            (2) inhibiting the disease, i.e., arresting or reducing the development of the disease or its clinical symptoms, or
            (3) relieving the disease, i.e., causing regression of the disease or its clinical symptoms.
        
        
    
    


A “therapeutically effective amount” means the amount of a compound that, when administered to a mammal for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease. The “therapeutically effective amount” will vary depending on the compound, the disease and its severity and the age, weight, etc., of the mammal to be treated.
“Leaving group” has the meaning conventionally associated with it in synthetic organic chemistry i.e., an atom or group capable of being displaced by a nucleophile and includes halogen, alkylsulfonyloxy, ester, or amino such as chloro, bromo, iodo, mesyloxy, tosyloxy, trifluorosulfonyloxy, methoxy, N,O-dimethylhydroxyl-amino, and the like.
“Pro-drugs” mean any compound that releases an active parent drug according to a compound of the subject invention in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of a compound of the subject invention are prepared by modifying functional groups present in a compound of the subject invention in such a way that the modifications may be cleaved in vivo to release the parent compound. Prodrugs include compounds of the subject invention wherein a hydroxy, sulfhydryl or amino group in the compound is bonded to any group that may be cleaved in vivo to regenerate the free hydroxyl, amino, or sulfhydryl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to esters (e.g., acetate, formate, and benzoate derivatives), carbamates (e.g., N,N-dimethylaminocarbonyl) of hydroxy functional groups in compounds of the subject invention, and the like.
Mammal refers to human or warm-blooded animals including livestock and companion animals.
The compounds of the present invention are generally named according to the IUPAC or CAS nomenclature systems. Abbreviations which are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art may be used (e.g. “Ph” for phenyl, “Me” for methyl, “Et” for ethyl, “Ac” for “acetyl” “h” for hour or hours and “rt” for room temperature).

General Synthetic Schemes
The compounds of this invention can be prepared in accordance with one or more of the Schemes discussed below. Further discussions can be found in International Publication WO 02/06278, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The starting materials, intermediates, and final compounds described in this invention were prepared using common procedures and techniques that are well known to persons of ordinary skill in organic chemistry. These compounds were prepared in accordance with one or more of the following Schemes as described below.
It will be appreciated that some of the processes described herein require the use of protective groups to prevent the undesired reactivity of certain substituents. A person skilled in organic chemistry will recognize when such protection may be required and how such groups may be installed and subsequently removed. For examples of protecting groups and procedures for their introduction and removal see one of the general texts on the subject such as “Protecting Groups” by Philip J. Kocienski (publisher: Georg Thieme Verlag: Stuttgart, 1994).
Chiral intermediates of enantiomeric purity may be prepared using various asymmetric reaction methodologies or, alternatively, by resolution of the racemic mixtures. It is known that the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl ring systems described herein can exist as either endo or exo diastereomers. When products comprised of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl ring systems form as mixtures, these diastereomers can be separated by standard techniques of organic chemistry, for example, by silica gel chromatography.
Scheme I illustrates three methods for preparing benzaldehyde starting materials required for the preparation of the compounds of this invention. In the first method, a substituted 5-nitrotoluene analog is oxidized to the corresponding benzaldehyde (step 1). This oxidation can be accomplished according to the procedure reported by Gordeev et. al. in U.S. Pat. No. 6,239,152, incorporated herein in its entirety.
Step 2 of Scheme I involves reduction of the nitro substituent to an amino substituent. This reduction is generally accomplished by reacting the nitro intermediate with iron metal. The reaction is carried out at temperatures between 60° C. and 90° C. in mixtures of water and alcohol (methanol, ethanol, etc.) as solvent, and in the presence of ammonium chloride. Optionally, reductions of this type are conducted by reaction with other metals such as tin or zinc or by hydrogenation using a palladium or platinum catalyst (see Rylander Hydrogenation Methods; Academic Press: New York, 1985, pp. 104-116). The reaction is run until complete, usually from about 2 hours to about 24 hours.




Step 3 of Scheme I involves the introduction of carbamate protection (e.g., benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) or t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)) on the aniline formed in step 2. This is a standard transformation that is typically carried out by reaction of the amine with benzyl chloroformate, di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, or an equivalent reagent (see Kocienski Protecting Groups; Georg Thieme Verlag: Stuttgart, 1994, pp. 195-199). The reaction is typically conducted at temperatures between 0° C. and 25° C. in organic solvents such as dichloromethane in the presence of amines such as triethylamine or pyridine and is run until substantially complete, usually 2 hours to 16 hours. Optionally the reaction may be performed in aqueous solutions in the presence of inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate.
A second method for preparing the benzaldehyde starting material begins with a substituted aniline. Step A of Scheme I involves protection of the amino group as a carbamate (e.g., isopropoxycarbonyl or t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)). This is a standard transformation that is typically carried out by reaction of the amine with isopropyl chloroformate, di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, or an equivalent reagent (see Kocienski Protecting Groups; Georg Thieme Verlag: Stuttgart, 1994, pp. 195-199). The reaction is typically conducted at temperatures between 0° C. and 25° C. in organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and using a base such as lithium bis(trimethylsilyl) amide and is run until complete, usually 2 hours to about 24 hours. Alternatively, protection of the aniline function may be accomplished using silyl protecting groups. Reagents including but not limited to trimethylsilyl chloride and 1,2-bis(chlorodimethylsilyl)ethane have been used for this purpose (see patent application WO 97/30995).
Step B of Scheme I illustrates the introduction of a formyl group para to the protected aniline intermediate. This reaction is accomplished by formation of the aryl lithium species and subsequent reaction with dimethylformamide or equivalent formylating reagent. The lithiation reaction is typically carried out at temperatures below −50° C. using strong bases such as n-butyllithium or tert-butyllithium, optionally in the presence of additives such as TMEDA (N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine). The formylating reagent may be added at temperatures below −50° C. and the reaction allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction is run until complete, usually 1 hours to about 3 hours. For silyl-protected aniline intermediates, an aqueous work-up is likely to re-generate the free aniline. For these cases, an additional step (Step C) will be required to convert the free aniline into a carbamate. The product of each step in Scheme I may be used as collected or may be purifed using conventional techniques such as preparative TLC or HPLC, chromatography, precipitation, crystallization and the like.
A third method for preparation of substituted benzaldehyde intermediates is shown in Scheme I. Step Z of Scheme I involves for example the transition metal catalyzed reaction of a 4-bromo benzaldehyde compound with an alkyl carbamate, for example benzyl carbamate. The benzaldehyde starting material is substituted in the para position with a halogen atom or a triflate, nonaflate or similar sulfonate ester. Reactions of this type are well known to those skilled in the art (see for example Buchwald et.al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 7421-7428) and are typically carried out with palladium or copper catalysts and employing ligands such as BINAP or related phosphine or arsine ligands. The reaction is favorably carried out in solvents such as toluene or benzene and at temperatures of about 50° C. up to 110° C. The reaction is run until complete, usually 3 hours to about 20 hours. The product may be used as collected or may be purified using conventional techniques such as preparative TLC or HPLC, chromatography, precipitation, crystallization and the like.
Scheme II illustrates the conversion of the benzaldehyde starting materials (described in Scheme I) into bis-hydroxymethylcyclopropane intermediates. These intermediates can, in turn, be used to prepare bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane analogs with various heteroatoms at the 3 position of the bicyclic ring.
Step 1 of Scheme It involves the reaction of the benzaldehyde starting material with a phosphonate ylide. This reaction, the Homer-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction, is well known to those skilled in the art (for reviews, see Wadsworth in Organic Reactions 1977, 25, pp. 73-253). The ylide is first formed by reaction of a phosphonate (e.g. trimethyl phosphonoacetate) with a strong base such as sodium hydride or n-butyllithium in solvents such as dimethylformamide or tetrahydrofuran. After formation of the ylide, it is reacted with the aldehyde in solvents such as DMSO or DMF for about 4 hours to 20 hours at about 0° C. to about 30° C. to form the desired unsaturated ester product. The product may be used as collected or may first be purifed using conventional techniques such as preparative TLC or HPLC, chromatography, precipitation, crystallization and the like.
Step 2 of Scheme II involves reduction of the unsaturated ester to an allylic alcohol. This is a very common reaction that will be well known to those skilled in the art. The reduction is carried out with reducing agents such as lithium aluminum hydride or sodium borohydride (or an equivalent reagent). The reaction may be conducted for about 1 hour to about 4 hours in ethereal solvents such as tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether at temperatures between −40 and 25° C. The product may be used as collected or may first be purifed using conventional techniques such as preparative TLC or HPLC, chromatography, precipitation, crystallization and the like.
Step 3 of Scheme II in involves the formation of a diazoester. This is accomplished using glyoxylic acid chloride p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone (prepared as described by C. J. Blankley, F. J. Sauter and H. O. House, Organic Syntheses, Coll. Vol. V, p. 258; John Wiley, New York (1973)). Reaction of this reagent with the allylic alcohol may be carried out according to the procedure described by Myers and Corey (Tetrahedron Letters, 1984, pp. 3559-3562). The product may be used as collected or may first be purifed using conventional techniques such as preparative TLC or HPLC, chromatography, precipitation, crystallization and the like.




Step 4 of Scheme II involves an intramolecular cyclopropanation reaction. This transformation is usually accomplished with a suitable transition metal catalyst, typically of copper or rhodium (e.g. bis-(N-t-butylsalicyl-aldiminato)copper(II), prepared as described by R. G. Charles in J. Org. Chem. 1957, 22, 677). A solution of the diazoester in toluene, dichloromethane or mixtures thereof is added slowly using a dropping funnel or syringe pump to a refluxing solution of the catalyst in toluene or similar solvent. The reaction may be conducted at concentrations below 0.05M to avoid dimerization of the diazoester and is run until substantially complete, usually from about 12 hours to about 36 hours. The product may be used as collected or may first be purifed using conventional techniques such as preparative TLC or HPLC, chromatography, precipitation, crystallization and the like.
Step 5 of Scheme II involves reduction of the lactone ring to a diol. This reduction can be accomplished using conditions similar to those described above for step 2 of Scheme II. The product may be used as collected or may first be purifed using conventional techniques such as preparative TLC or HPLC, chromatography, precipitation, crystallization and the like.
Scheme III describes the preparation of thiabicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl-substituted phenyloxazolidinones starting from the diol intermediate described in Scheme II. Step 1 involves conversion of the alcohol substituents into leaving groups (such as mesylates). These transformations are well known to those skilled in the art and may be performed with reagents such as methanesulfonic anhydride, methanesulfonyl chloride, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, or equivalent reagents. The reactions may be carried out for about 0.5 hours to about 2 hours in organic solvents such as dichloromethane or tetrahydrofuran, and in the presence of acid-scavenging amines such as triethylamine or N,N-diisopropylethylamine a temperature of about 0° C. to 40° C. The product of this reaction may be used in the next reaction as collected or may first be purifed using conventional techniques such as preparative TLC or HPLC, chromatography, precipitation, crystallization and the like.
Step 2 of Scheme III describes a cyclization reaction in which the bis-mesylate prepared in step 1 is reacted with a nucleophilic sulfur source to form the thiabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane ring. This reaction is generally conducted with sodium sulfide in dipolar aprotic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide.
Step 3 of Scheme III illustrates the construction of the oxazolidinone ring from the aryl carbamate. Transformations of this type are known art (see, e.g., International Publication WO 95/07271, published on 16 Mar. 1995). In step 3 the oxazolidinone synthesis is performed with S-acetic acid 2-acetylamino-1-chloromethyl-ethyl. This reagent is prepared from (S)-epichlorohydrin in three steps (epoxide ring opening with benzaldehyde imine, imine hydrolysis, and peracylation with acetic anyhdride) according to the procedure described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/982,157, which is incorporated herein in its entirety. The reaction of this reagent with aryl carbamates is to afford the acetylaminomethyl-substituted oxazolidinone. The reaction is performed in the presence of an organic base such as lithium tert-butoxide, in a polar organic solvent such as dimethylformamide, at temperatures of about 0° C. to 25° C.




Step 4 of Scheme III involves an optional oxidation of the sulfur atom to form a sulfoxide or sulfone. These transformations will be well known to one skilled in the art and a variety of reagents are available (for a review see Hudlicky in Oxidations in Organic Chemistry; American Chemical Society: Washington, 1990, pp 252-263). Sulfoxides are formed as a pair of diastereomers that are often separable using flash column or preparative thin layer chromatography. The oxidation to sulfoxide may be conducted with sodium periodate in water-alcohol mixtures. Oxidation to sulfone may be carried out with peracetic acid in aqueous tetrahydrofuran. These reactions are typically carried out at temperatures of about 0° C. to 25° C.
Scheme IV describes the preparation of azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl-substituted phenyloxazolidinones starting from the diol intermediate described in Scheme II. Step 1 involves conversion of the alcohol substituents into leaving groups (such as mesylates). This transformation is conducted as described above for step 1 of Scheme III.
Step 2 of Scheme IV describes a cyclization reaction in which the bis-mesylate prepared in step 1 is reacted with a nucleophilic amine source such as 4-methoxybenzylamine or similar amine. This reaction is conducted neat, using the amine as solvent and at temperatures of around 0 to 30° C. The choice of amine is important in that the subsequent deprotection step (step 4) should be facile.
Step 3 of Scheme IV involves construction of the oxazolidinone ring. This transformation is conducted as described above for step 3 of Scheme III.




Step 4 of Scheme IV involves deprotection of the tertiary amine to reveal the free secondary azabicyclic amine. The choice of reagent for this deprotection will depend on the amine used for cyclization in step 2. It is understood that a person skilled in the art will select the appropriate deprotection conditions for the amine chosen. In this example, removal of the 4-methoxybenzylamine group can be accomplished by hydrogenolysis. Hydrogenolysis reactions are well known and are typically carried out using palladium catalysts, of which several varieties are available, and under an atmosphere of hydrogen gas. Removal of the p-methoxybenzyl group may be conducted using palladium hydroxide on carbon as catalyst and a solvent system of methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, or mixtures thereof. These reactions are typically carried out at temperatures of about 15° C. to 35° C. For analogs lacking fluorine substitution on the aromatic ring, an alternate procedure may be employed, involving reaction with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate or similar reagent in the presence of amine scavenging bases such as triethylamine and in solvents such as dichloromethane (see Olofson et al. in J. Org. Chem. 1984, pp 2081-2082 and Yang et al. in Synlett, 1993, pp 195-196). This alternative procedure circumvents the problem of cyclopropane ring-opening that is sometimes encountered in the des-fluoro aromatic analogs.
Step 5 of Scheme IV represents a coupling step in which the free secondary amine is reacted with alkylating, acylating, sulfonylating, or other reagents to introduce substituents represented generically as R8. Coupling reactions of amines are very common reactions in synthetic organic chemistry and will be well known to those of average ability in the art. In an illustrative example leading to a preferred structure, the amine is reacted with benzyloxyacetyl chloride in dichloromethane and triethylamine to form the benzyloxyacetamide.
Step 6 of Scheme IV represents an optional step or steps that may involve a deprotection step or other reaction to further elaborate the R8 substituent introduced in step 5. Those skilled in the art will be able to select appropriate conditions for removing given protecting groups or for further elaboration of a given R8 substituent. As an illustrative example, the benzyloxyacetamide formed in step 5 is subjected to hydrogenolysis with a palladium catalyst to reveal the desired hydroxyacetamide-substituted azabicyclic phenyloxazolidinone.
Scheme V describes the preparation of oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl-substituted phenyloxazolidinones starting from the diol intermediate described in Scheme II. Conceptually this reaction involves the conversion of one of the hydroxy substituents into a suitable leaving group and subsequent intramolecular displacement of the leaving group by the other hydroxy group or its alkoxide form. A person skilled in the art will recognize possible strategies for this cyclization including activation of the alcohol under Mitsunobu conditions. This reaction can be accomplished in a one-pot reaction (step 1). Initial reaction with about two equivalents of a base such as n-butyllithium is followed by reaction with one to two equivalents of an activating reagent, such as, methanesulfonyl chloride. Additional base is then added (about one equivalent) to effect cyclization and form the oxabicyclic ring. This reaction is typically conducted in ethereal solvent such as THF and at temperature of about −30 to −60° C. for about 1 hour to 3 hours. The product may be used as collected or may first be purifed using conventional techniques such as preparative TLC or HPLC, chromatography, precipitation, crystallization and the like.




Step 2 of Scheme V involves construction of the oxazolidinone ring. This transformation is conducted as described above for step 3 of Scheme III.
Scheme VI describes the preparation of claimed structures in which Y is —N(R8)— and W is C═O. Step 1 of Scheme VI represents a step or steps for converting the allylic alcohol described in Scheme II to an allylic amine. This well-known transformation may be performed by initial activation of the hydroxy group as an alkyl or aryl sulfonate, halide, or optionally by Mitsunobu-type activation (see Fabiano et al. Synthesis, 1987, p. 190). These reactions are well known to those skilled in the art and may be performed with reagents such as methanesulfonyl chloride, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, or with dialkyl azodicarboxylates (for Mitsunobu reactions). Next the activated alcohol is reacted with a nucleophilic nitrogen source. For reactions of alkyl or aryl sulfonates this is usually accomplished by reaction with an azide salt (e.g., sodium azide) in polar solvents such as acetone or dimethyl sulfoxide (optionally with added water) and at temperatures of about 50° C. to 120° C. For Mitsunobu activation, hydrazoic acid is commonly employed as a nucleophilic nitrogen sources. Finally, the azide is reduced to the amine, a transformation that can be accomplished with a variety of inorganic reducing agents or by catalytic hydrogenation. An alternative and selective reduction of azides is accomplished by reaction with phosphines (Staudinger reaction).
In step 2 of Scheme VI, the allylic amine is converted to a diazo acetamide. This conversion may be accomplished using the procedure described by Doyle et al. (see J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, pp 5763-5775) although other methods may also be employed.




Step 3 of Scheme VI describes an intramolecular cyclopropanation reaction and may be accomplished as described above for step 4 of Scheme II.
Step 4 of Scheme VI involves construction of the oxazolidinone ring. This transformation is conducted as described above for step 3 of Scheme III.
Step 5 of Scheme VI represents an optional step or steps that may involve the introduction and further elaboration of the R8 substituent. For example, these reactions may involve alkylation or similar functionalization of the lactam ring nitrogen using known processes.
Scheme VII involves an alternate route for the preparation of analogs in which the preparation of claimed structures in which Y is —N(R8)— and W is C═O. The starting material for this method is the lactone described in Scheme II. In step 1 of Scheme VII, the lactone is reacted with a suitable amine nucleophile such as benzyl or 4-methoxybenzylamine, opening the lactone ring to give an amide. This is a well known reaction in organic chemistry and may be accomplished in a variety of alcoholic or polar aprotic solvents at temperatures from about 25° C. to 100° C.
Step 2 of Scheme VII describes involves cyclization of the amido alcohol to reform a lactam ring. These reactions are known and are often accomplished by activating the alcohol with reagents such as mesyl chloride (e.g., see Haddad, M. et al in J. Org. Chem. 1998, 63, 5680-5683) or by Mitsunobu-type activation (e.g., see Ma, D. et. al. in Tet. Lett. 1998, 9067-9068).
Step 3 of Scheme VII involves construction of the oxazolidinone ring. This transformation is conducted as described above for step 3 of Scheme III or as described in Scheme VIII.




Steps 4 and 5 of Scheme VII represent an optional step or steps that may involve removal of a substituent on the amide nitrogen (e.g. a benzyl group) and the introduction and further elaboration of an R8 substituent. For example, these reactions may involve alkylation or similar functionalization of the lactam ring nitrogen using known methods.
Scheme VIII describes a general synthesis of aryloxazolidinone compounds substituted at C-5 of the oxazolidinone with substituents other than simple acetylaminomethyl. In step 1 of Scheme VIII, the aryl carbamate analogs (described in Schemes III-VII) are reacted with (3-chloro-2-hydroxy-propyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester. This reagent is prepared from (S)-epichlorohydrin in three steps (epoxide ring opening with benzaldehyde imine, imine hydrolysis, and amine protection with di-tert-butyldicarbonate) according to the procedure described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/982,157, which is incorporated herein in it entirety. The reaction of this reagent with aryl carbamates is performed in the presence of an organic base such as lithium tert-butoxide, in a polar organic solvent such as dimethylformamide, at temperatures of about 0° C. to 25° C.
In step 2 of Scheme VIII, the tert-butyl carbamate (Boc group) is removed to provide the aminomethyl analog. This transformation is conveniently accomplished with hydrochloric acid in dioxane at a temperature in the range of about 0° C. to about 25° C.; however, a person skilled in the art will recognize other deprotection conditions that may be employed.




Step 3 of Scheme VIII involves acylation or thioacylation of the amine intermediate using known art. Hence, acylations can be performed by reaction of the amine with carboxylic acid anhydrides, esters or acid chlorides. These transformations are usually performed at temperatures between 0° C. and 50° C. in solvents such as dichloromethane, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, methanol, or mixtures thereof. These reactions are generally performed in the presence of acid-scavenging amines such as triethylamine, pyridine, or potassium carbonate. Thioacylations are accomplished by reaction of the amines from step 2 with dithioesters or thionoesters in the presence of a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine. Preferred solvents for these reactions include tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane or methanol and the reactions are conducted in a temperature range from 20° C. to 50° C. Other thiocarbonyl compounds of Scheme VIII can be prepared according to procedures disclosed in PCT International Publication WO 98/54161, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Step 4 of Scheme VIII represents an optional step or steps that may involve a deprotection step or other reaction to introduce or further elaborate an R8 substituent in cases where Y is —N(R8)—. In cases were Y is S, these optional steps may constitute oxidation steps to form sulfoxide or sulfone functionality.
Scheme DC describes the synthesis of claimed compounds that possess a carboxamide substituent at C-5 of the oxazolidinone ring (i.e., where Z is C(═O)NHR1). The preparation of oxazolidinones with this particular substituent is outlined below in steps 2-4 of Scheme DC and is further described known art in U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/359,495, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this scheme describes a general method that may be applied in the context of any of bicyclic heterocycles described in Schemes III-VII to prepare claimed structures possessing carboxamide substituent at C-5 of the oxazolidinone ring. A person skilled in the art will also recognize that some modifications of the synthetic protocol may be required if certain functional groups are incompatible with the methods described. In these cases, suitable protecting groups may be employed to protect these functional groups from participating in undesired reactions, see “Protecting Groups” by Philip J. Kocienski (publisher: Georg Thieme Verlag: Stuttgart, 1994).
Step 1 of Scheme IX requires the removal of carbamate protection from intermediates of the type described in Schemes III-VII. The conditions employed for this reaction will depend on the carbamate employed in a particular case. For example, benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) groups can be removed using hydrogenolysis with palladium catalysts whereas tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) groups are effectively removed using hydrochloric acid in solvents such as dioxane, although other similar reagents may also be used. These examples are only illustrative and it is understood that other carbamate protecting groups and deprotection conditions may be employed.
Step 2 of Scheme DC describes the reaction of the substituted aniline intermediate with ethyl (2R)-2,3-epoxypropanoate, available from Acros, or similar reagent to provide an amino alcohol. This reaction may be conducted in the presence of a promoter such as lithium triflate and in solvents such as acetonitrile or dioxane at temperatures of about 30° C. to 100° C.
Step 3 of Scheme IX describes the formation of the oxazolidinone ring from the amino alcohol intermediate. This type of reaction is known in the art and is typically conducted with reagents such carbonyldiimidazole or phosgene, with or without the addition of acid scavenging bases such as triethylamine. The reactions can be conducted in solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide or dichloromethane and at temperatures of about 0° C. to 50° C. and are typically run for about 0.5 hours to about 48 hours, or until the reaction is complete.




Step 4 of Scheme IX describes the reaction of ammonia or a primary amine with the ester bearing oxazolidinone formed in the previous step. Reaction of the amine with the ester group provides the desired product possessing carboxamide substitution at C-5. These reactions may be carried out with an excess of the amine in solvents such as methaol, tetrahydrofuran or mixtures thereof and at temperatures of around 0° C. to 50° C.
Step 5 of Scheme IX represents an optional step or steps that may involve a deprotection step and/or other reaction to introduce or further elaborate an R8 substituent in cases where Y is —N(R8)—. In cases were Y is S, these optional steps may constitute oxidation steps to form sulfoxide or sulfone functionality.
Schemes X-XII below describe general methods for the preparation of claimed compounds in which Z is NH-het1, O-het1, S-het1, or het2. The starting materials for this procedure are arylcarbamates (described in Schemes III-VII) and the conversion of these intermediates to the final compounds is known art (see Gravestock, M. B., International Publications WO 99/64417 and WO 00/21960). The structures shown are those in which A is structure (i); however it is understood that analogous procedures may be employed—with some modifications of the synthetic route—when A is structure (ii), (iii), or (iv).
Step 1 of Scheme X involves transformation of the aryl carbamate (prepared as described in Schemes III-VII) to a hydroxymethyl-substituted oxazolidinone. Transformations of this type are known to those skilled in the art (see, e.g., International Publication WO 95/07271, published on 16 Mar. 1995). This reaction is accomplished with R-(−)-glycidyl butyrate or a similar glycidyl ester. The reaction is performed in the presence of organic base such as lithium hexamethyldisilylamide in organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, at temperatures of about −78° C. to 25° C.
In Step 2 of Scheme X, the hydroxy group is converted to a displaceable group (Lg) such as alkyl or aryl sulfonate, or halide. These reactions are well known to those skilled in the art and may be performed with reagents such as methanesulfonyl chloride, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, or similar reagents. The reactions may be carried out in organic solvents such as dichloromethane or tetrahydrofuran, and in the presence of acid-scavenging amines such as triethylamine or N,N-diisopropylethylamine a temperature of about 0° C. to 40° C.




In Step 3 of Scheme X, the activated hydroxy compound is reacted with a compound of the formula HN(Pg)het1, HOhet1, HShet1 or the corresponding metal alkoxide salts M-N(Pg)het1, M-Ohet1, M-Shet1 where M is an alkali metal or another metal known to promote O-alkylation (e.g., silver) and “Pg” is a suitable protecting group. Alternatively, the hydroxymethyl starting material may be reacted directly with compounds of the formula HN(Pg)het1, HOhet1, HShet1 (Step A) under Mitsunobu activation using a suitable dialkyl azodicarboxylate reagent and alkyl or aryl phosphine (see Fabiano et. al. Synthesis, 1987, p. 190). Finally, an optional step or steps may be required to introduce or further elaborate an R8 substituent in cases where Y is —N(R8)—. In cases were Y is S, these optional steps may constitute oxidation steps to form sulfoxide or sulfone functionality.
The synthesis of analogs in which Z is het2 may be accomplished as shown in Scheme XI. Preparation of these analogs from hydroxymethyl oxazolidinones is known art (see Gravestock, M. B., Betts, M. J., and Griffin, D. A., International Publications WO 01/81350). In Step 1, the hydroxy group is converted to a displaceable group (Lg) such as alkyl or aryl sulfonate, bromide, or iodide using known art. In Step 2, this intermediate is reacted with het2-H in the free base form or as the anion het2-formed from the free base. An alternative method to prepare 1,2,3-triazoles specifically involves conversion of the hydroxy group to an azide in Step A (as described for step 1 of Scheme VI), followed by cycloaddition with norbornadiene (Step B). Finally, an optional step or steps may be required to introduce or further elaborate an R8 substituent in cases where Y is —N(R8)—. In cases were Y is S, these optional steps may constitute oxidation steps to form sulfoxide or sulfone functionality.




Scheme XII describes an alternative method for the preparation of the analogs described in Schemes X and XI. This method is well known in the art (see, for example, Gravestock, M. B., International Publications WO 99/64417 and WO 00/21960; Gravestock, M. B., Betts, M. J., and Griffin, D. A., International Publications WO 01/81350, which are each incorporated herein in their entirety). Reaction of aryl carbamate intermediates (described in Schemes III-VII) with epoxides of the formula CH2(O)CHCH2-het2, CH2(O)CHCH2—NHhet1, CH2(O)CHCH2—O-het1, or CH2(O)CHCH2—S-het1 provides the desired compounds. Finally, an optional step or steps may be required to introduce or further elaborate an R8 substituent in cases where Y is —N(R8)—. In cases were Y is S, these optional steps may constitute oxidation steps to form sulfoxide or sulfone functionality.




Schemes XIII-XV describe the synthesis of arylisoxazolinone and arylisoxazoline compounds bearing bicyclic rings of the type described in Schemes III-VII. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following schemes describe general methods to prepare claimed structures in which A is (ii) or (iv). These methods may be employed using any of the bicyclic heterocycles described in Schemes III-VII. The starting materials required to prepare these structures are aromatic aldehydes rather than amines and therefore some modifications of the synthetic protocol will be required. The bicyclic heterocycles can be prepared as described above in Schemes III-VII but it is understood that suitable protecting groups should be employed to protect and later reveal sensitive functional groups, in particular the aromatic aldehyde function.
Scheme XIII summarizes the synthesis of the requisite substituted benzaldehyde intermediates. The starting materials for this synthesis may include commercially-available terephthaldehyde mono(diethyl acetal) or other substituted analog prepared using known art. The aldehyde starting materials are then converted to bicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl ring systems using the procedures described in Schemes III-VII. A final deprotection of the acetal then reveals the desired benzaldehyde intermediate. The removal of acetal protection can be accomplished using various reaction conditions that are well known in the art, (see “Protecting Groups” by Philip J. Kocienski; publisher: Georg Thieme Verlag: Stuttgart, 1994).




Step 1 of Scheme XIV involves reaction of the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl benzaldehyde intermediate with ethyl diazoacetate (as described in Mahmood et al., 1998 J. Org. Chem., 63, pgs. 3333-3336) to provide the ester aldehyde intermediate shown. Addition of hydroxylamine, followed by warming to reflux in aqueous methanol, yields the arylisoxazolinone (Step 2). This intermediate is then converted to the corresponding methylacetamide (Step 3) by reaction with N-(hydroxymethyl)acetamide acetate (prepared as described by Barnes et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,284,863, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety) in a polar aprotic solvent such as DMF. In step 4, an optional step or steps may be required to introduce or further elaborate an R8 substituent in cases where Y is —N(R8)—. In cases were Y is S, these optional steps may constitute oxidation steps to form sulfoxide or sulfone functionality.




Scheme XV describes a general method for preparing arylisoxazoline compounds bearing bicyclic heterocycles of the type described in Schemes III-VII. In Step 1 of Scheme XV the substituted benzaldehyde is reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in a polar protic solvent, such as methanol, in the presence of a base, such as pyridine, to afford the oxime.
In Step 2 of Scheme XV, the oxime is oxidized with N-chloro-succinamide (NCS) in an appropriate solvent, such as dichloromethane, to give the oximyl chloride. In Step 3, the oximyl chloride is reacted with an allylic compound such as allyl alcohol or N-acetylallylamine, in the presence of a base such as triethylamine and in a solvent such as dichloromethane, to provide hydroxymethyl or acetamidomethyl substituted isoxazolines. Alternatively, the oximyl chloride can be formed in situ and directly treated with the allylic compound (a combination of steps 2 and 3).




Step 4 of Scheme XV represents a step or series of steps for preparing compounds in which Z is a group other than NH(C═O)CH3. First, the hydroxymethyl analog is elaborated to aminomethyl using known art (as described in step 1 of Scheme VI) and this intermediate is then converted to the desired amide or thioamide analogs (as described in step 3 of Scheme VII). Alternatively, a heterocyclic substituent (for analogs where Z is NH-het1, O-het1, S-het1, or het2) may be introduced from hydroxymethyl or azidomethyl intemediates using known art (as described in Schemes X-XII). In step 5, an optional step or steps may be required to introduce or further elaborate an R8 substituent in cases where Y is —N(R8)—. In cases were Y is S, these optional steps may constitute oxidation steps to form sulfoxide or sulfone functionality.
Utility and Testing
The compounds of the subject invention exhibit potent activities against a variety of organisms, including gram positive and/or gram negative bacteria. Accordingly, the compounds of the subject invention have broad antibacterial activity. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful antimicrobial agents and may be effective against a number of human and veterinary pathogens, including gram positive aerobic bacteria such as multiply-resistant staphylococci and streptococci, gram negative organisms such as H. influenzae and M. catarrahlis, as well as anaerobic organisms such as bacteroides and clostridia species, and acid-fast organisms such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium. In addition the compounds of the present invention are effective against infections in any area of the body.
The in vitro activity of compounds of the subject invention may be assessed by standard testing procedures such as the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by agar dilution as described in “Approved Standard. Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically,” 3rd ed., published 1993 by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory standards, Villanova, Pa., USA.
The in vitro MICs of test compounds may be determined by a standard agar dilution method. A stock drug solution of each analog is prepared in a preferred solvent, usually DMSO:H2O (1:3). Serial 2-fold dilutions of each sample are made using 1.0 mL aliquots of sterile distilled water. To each 1.0 mL aliquot of drug is added 9 mL of molten Mueller Hinton agar medium. The drug-supplemented agar is mixed, poured into 15×100 mm petri dishes, and allowed to solidify and dry prior to inoculation.
Vials of each of the test organisms are maintained frozen in the vapor phase of a liquid nitrogen freezer. Test cultures are grown overnight at 35° C. on the medium appropriate for the organism. Colonies are harvested with a sterile swab, and cell suspensions are prepared in Trypticase Soy broth (TSB) to equal the turbidity of a 0.5 McFarland standard. A 1:20 dilution of each suspension is made in TSB. The plates containing the drug supplemented agar are inoculated with a 0.001 mL drop of the cell suspension using a Steers replicator, yielding approximately 104 to 105 cells per spot. The plates are incubated overnight at 35° C.
Following incubation the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC μg/mL), the lowest concentration of drug that inhibits visible growth of the organism, is read and recorded. The data is shown in Table I. The compounds of Example 1 to Example 20 were tested using this method and all showed an MIC of 8 μg/mL or less against S. aureus UC9213, 2 μg/mL or less against S. pneumoniae UC9912 and 16 μg/mL or less against H. influenzae 30063, with the exception of the compounds of examples 1 and 7 which were 32 μg/mL or less and the compound of example 20 which was >64 μg/mL.

Administration and Pharmaceutical Formulations

In general, the compounds of the subject invention will be administered in a therapeutically effective amount by any of the accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar utilities. The actual amount of the compound of the subject invention, i.e., the active ingredient, will depend on a number of factors, such as the severity of the disease, i.e., the infection, to be treated, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compound used, the route and form of administration, and other factors all of which are within the routine skill of the attending clinician.
Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such compounds can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be expressed as the ratio LD50/ED50. Compounds that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred.
The data obtained from the cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in humans. The dosage of such compounds lies within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. For any compound used in the method of the invention, the therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from cell culture assays. A dose may be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range which includes the IC50 (i.e., the concentration of the test compound which achieves a half-maximal inhibition of symptoms) as determined in cell culture. Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans. Levels in plasma may be measured, for example, by high performance liquid chromatography.
When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of the subject invention are usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compounds can be administered by a variety of routes including oral, or parenteral, rectal, transdermal, topical, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, and intranasal routes. These compounds are effective as both injectable and oral compositions. Such compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art and comprise at least one active compound.
This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions that contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds of the subject invention above associated with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In making the compositions of this invention, the active ingredient is usually mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier which can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.
In preparing a formulation, it may be necessary to mill the active compound to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it ordinarily is milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size is normally adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh.
Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methylcellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.
The quantity of active component, that is the compound according to the subject invention, in the pharmaceutical composition and unit dosage form thereof may be varied or adjusted widely depending upon the particular application, the potency of the particular compound and the desired concentration.
The compositions may be formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 100 mg, more usually about 10 to about 30 mg, of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. The compound of the subject invention is employed at no more than about 20 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition, generally no more than about 15 weight percent, with the balance being pharmaceutically inert carrier(s).
The active compound is effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically or therapeutically effective amount. It, will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the severity of the bacterial infection being treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.
In therapeutic use for treating, or combating, bacterial infections in warm-blooded animals, the compounds or pharmaceutical compositions thereof will be administered orally, topically, transdermally, and/or parenterally at a dosage to obtain and maintain a concentration, that is, an amount, or blood-level of active component in the animal undergoing treatment which will be antibacterially effective. Generally, such antibacterially or therapeutically effective amount of dosage of active component (i.e., an effective dosage) will be in the range of about 0.1 to about 100, or about 1.0 to about 50 mg/kg of body weight/day.
For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention.
The tablets or pills of the present invention may be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. An enteric layer can separate these two components. This layer serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and to permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to provide for delayed release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as corn oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. The compositions may be administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a facemask tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered orally or nasally, from devices that deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.
Suitable formulations for use in the present invention can be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mace Publishing Company, Philadelphia, Pa., 17th ed. (1985).
As noted above, the compounds described herein are suitable for use in a variety of drug delivery systems described above. Additionally, in order to enhance the in vivo serum half-life of the administered compound, the compounds may be encapsulated, introduced into the lumen of liposomes, prepared as a colloid, or other conventional techniques may be employed which provide an extended serum half-life of the compounds. A variety of methods are available for preparing liposomes, as described in, e.g., Szoka, et al., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,235,871, 4,501,728 and 4,837,028 each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
As noted above, the compounds administered to a patient are in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions may be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterile filtered. The resulting aqueous solutions may be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. It will be understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.
The following synthetic and biological examples are offered to illustrate this invention and are not to be construed in any way as limiting the scope of this invention.
