Description: Ant1m1crobial 5-hydraz1no-qu1nolone derivatives BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to novel antimicrobial compounds, compositions, and methods of treatment. In particular, the compounds of this invention comprise a quinolone or related heterocyclic moiety. The chemical and medical literature describes a myriad of compounds that are said to be antimicrobial, i.e., capable of destroying or suppressing the growth or reproduction of microorganisms, such as bacteria. In particular, antibacterlals include a large variety of naturally-occurring (antibiotic), synthetic, or semi-synthetic compounds. They may be classified (for example) as the aminoglycosides, ansamacrolides, beta-lactams (including penicillins and cephalosporins), lincos- aminides, macrolides, nltrofurans, nucleosides, oligosaccharides, peptides and polypeptides, phenazines, polyenes, polyethers, quinolones, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides. Such antibacterials and other antimicrobials are described in Antibiotics. Chemotheraoeutics. and Antibacterial Aoents for Disease Control (M. Grayson, editor, 1982), and E. Gale et al., The Molecular Basis of Antibiotic Action 2d edition (1981), both incorporated by reference herein. The mechanism of action of these antibacterials vary. However, each can be generally classified as functioning in one or more of four ways: by inhibiting cell wall synthesis or repair; by altering cell wall permeability; by inhibiting protein synthesis; or by inhibiting synthesis of nucleic acids. For example, beta-lacta antibacterials act through inhibiting the essential penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) in bacteria, which are responsible for cell wall synthesis. On the other hand, quinolones act by inhibiting synthesis of bacterial DNA, thus preventing the bacteria from replicating. Not surprisingly, the pharmacological characteristics of antibacterials and other antimicrobials, and their suitability for any given clinical use, also vary considerably. For example, the classes of antimicrobials (and members within a class) may vary in their relative efficacy against different types of microorganisms, and their susceptibility to development of icrobial resistance. These antimicrobials may also differ in their pharmacological characteristics, such as their bioavailability, and biodistribution. Accordingly, selection of an appropriate antibacterial (or other antimicrobial) in any given clinical situation can be a complicated analysis of many factors, including the type of organism involved, the desired method of administration, and the location of the infection to be treated. The pharmaceutical literature is replete with attempts to develop improved antimicrobials (i.e., compounds that have a broader scope of activity, greater potency, improved pharmacology, and/or less susceptibility to resistance development.) For example, one group of antimicrobials that has been developed relatively recently for clinical use is the quinolones. These compounds include, for example, nalidixic acid, difloxacin, enoxacin, fleroxacin, norfloxacin, lomefloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and pefloxacin. See, C. Marchbaπ s and M. Dudley, "New Fluoroquinolones", 7 Hospital Therapy 18 (1988); P. Shah, "Quinolones", 31 Prog. Drug Res. 243 (1987); Quinolones - Their Future in Clinical Practice. (A. Percival, editor, Royal Society of Medical Services, 1986); and M. Parry, "Pharmacology and Clinical Uses of Quinolone Antibiotics", 116 Medical Times 39 (1988). However, many such attempts to produce improved antimicrobials have produced equivocal results. Indeed, few antimicrobials are developed that are truly clinically-acceptable in terms of their spectrum of antimicrobial activity, avoidance of microbial resistance, and pharmacology. For example, the quinolones often show reduced effectiveness against certain clinically important pathogens (for example, gram positive bacteria and/or anaerobic bacteria). The quinolones also have limited water solubility limiting their bioavailability and suitability for parenteral dosing. They may also produce adverse side effects, such as gastrointestinal disturbance and central nervous system effects (such as convulsions). See, M. Neuman and A. Esanu, "Gaps and Perspectives of New Fluoroquinolones", 24 Drugs Exotl . Clin. Res. 385 (1988); W. Christ et al . , "Specific Toxicologic Aspects of the Quinolones", 10 Rev. Infectious Diseases S141 (1988); H. Neu, "Clinical Use of the Quinolones", Lancet 1319 (1987); and "Ciprofloxacin: Panacea or Blunder Drug?", J. South Carolina Med. Assoc 131 (March 1989). SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides compounds of the general structure: wherein (A)(1)(a) R 1 is alkyl; alkenyl; a carbocyclic ring; a heterocyclic ring; or -N(R 6 )(R 7 ), where R 6 and R 7 are, independently, hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, a carbocyclic ring, a heterocyclic ring, or R 5 and R 7 together comprise a heterocyclic ring that includes the nitrogen to which they are bonded; and (b) R 2 is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, or lower alkoxy; or (2) R 1 and R may together comprise a six-membered heterocyclic ring that includes N' and the carbon atom to which R 2 is bonded; (B) R 3 is a heterocyclic ring or a carbocyclic ring; and (C)(1) R 4 and R5 are, independently, hydrogen; lower alkyl; cycloalkyl; heteroalkyl; or -C(=0)-X-R8, where X is a covalent bond, N, 0, or S, and R8 is lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, arylalkyl, a carbocyclic ring, or a heterocyclic ring; or (2) R 4 and R-5 together comprise a heterocyclic ring that includes the nitrogen to which they are bonded; and pharmaceutically-acceptable salts and biohydrolyzable esters thereof, and solvates thereof. It has been found that the compounds of this invention, and compositions containing these compounds, are effective antimicrobial agents against a broad range of pathogenic microorganisms. Applicants ' have also discovered that, surprisingly, compounds of this invention offer significantly increased water solubility at physiological pH in comparison to related antimicrobials known in the art. This surprising property may allow for, among other things, improved pharmacology, including increased serum levels upon administration, ease of formulation, and a more flexible dosing regimen.

In general, 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolones can be prepared by the following procedure: [5-Halo-Quinolone] + H2N-N(R 4 )(R5) --> [5-((R 4 )(R5)N-NH)-Quinolone] where R 4 and R- are previously defined and [5-Halo-Quinolone] is an appropriately protected 5-halogen substituted quinolone where the halogen is preferably chloro or fluoro (preferably fluoro). The reaction sequence can be envisioned as a nucleophilic aromatic displacement of the quinolone 5-halogen substituted by (R 4 )(R 5 )N-NH2 to form the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino)quinolones. Alternatively, 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino)quinolones can be prepared by the following procedure: [5,7-Dihalo-Quinolone] + H2N-N(R 4 )(R5) --> [5-((R 4 )(Rδ)N-NH)-7-Halo-Quinolone] where R 4 and R- are previously defined and [5,7-Dihalo-Quinolone] is an appropriately protected 5- and 7- halogen substituted quinolone where the halogen at positions 5 and 7 is independently a chloro or fluoro (preferably fluoro). The reaction sequence can be envisioned as a selective nucleophilic aromatic displacement of the quinolone 5-halogen substitutent by (R 4 )(R 5 )N-NH2 to form the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino)quinolones. The reaction can preferably be carried out in a nonpolar aprotic solvent, preferably benzene, toluene, xylene, etc., at an elevated temperature, preferably 50°C to reflux. Compositions The compositions of this invention comprise: (a) a safe and effective amount of a 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone; and (b) a pharmaceutically : acceptable carrier. A "safe and effective amount" of a 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone is an amount that is effective, to inhibit microbial growth at the site of an infection to be treated in a human or lower animal subject, without undue adverse side effects (such as toxicity, irritation, or allergic response), commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio when used in the manner of this invention. The specific "safe and effective amount" will, obviously, vary with such factors as the particular condition being treated, the physical condition of the patient, the duration of treatment, the nature of concurrent therapy (if any), the specific dosage form to be used, the carrier employed, the solubility of the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone therein, and the dosage regimen desired for the composition. The compositions of this invention are preferably provided in unit dosage form. As used herein, a "unit dosage form" is a composition of this invention containing an amount of a 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone that is suitable for administration to a human or lower animal subject, in a single dose, according to good medical practice. These compositions preferably contain from about 30 mg to about 20,000 mg, more preferably from about 50 mg (milligrams) to about 7000 mg, more preferably from about 500 mg to about 3500 mg, of a 5-(N-hetero- substituted amino) quinolone. The compositions of this invention may be in any of a variety of forms, suitable (for example) for oral, rectal, topical or parenteral administration. Depending upon the particular route of administration desired, a variety of pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers well-known in the art may be used. These include solid or liquid fillers, diluents, hydrotropes, surface-active agents, and encapsulating substances. Optional phar aceutically-active materials may be included, which do not substantially interfere with the antimicrobial activity of the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone. The amount of carrier employed in conjunction with the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone is sufficient to provide a practical quantity of material for administration per unit dose of the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolones. Techniques and compositions for making dosage forms useful in the methods of this invention are described in the following references, all incorporated by reference herein: 7 Modern Pharmaceutics. Chapters 9 and 10 (Banker & Rhodes, editors, 1979); Lieberman et al . , Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets (1981); and Ansel, Introduction to Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms 2d Edition (1976). In particular, pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers for systemic administration include sugars, starches, cellulose and its derivatives, malt, gelatin, talc, calcium sulfate, vegetable oils, synthetic oils, polyols, alginic acid, phosphate buffer solutions, emulsifiers, isotonic saline, and pyrogen-free water. Preferred carriers for parenteral administration include propylene glycol, ethyl oleate, pyrrolidone, ethanol , and sesame oil. Preferably, the pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, in compositions for parenteral administration, comprises at least about 90% by weight by the total composition. Various oral dosage forms can be used, including such solid forms as tablets, capsules, granules and bulk powders. These oral forms comprise a safe and effective amount, usually at least about 5%, and preferably from about 25% to about 50%, of the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone. Tablets can be compressed, tablet triturates, enteric-coated, sugar-coated, film-coated, or multiple-compressed, containing suitable binders, lubricants, diluents, disintegrating agents, coloring agents, flavoring agents, flow-inducing agents, and melting agents. Liquid oral dosage forms include aqueous solutions, emulsions, - _ib- suspensions, solutions and/or suspensions reconstituted from non-effervescent granules, and effervescent preparations reconstituted from effervescent granules, containing suitable solvents, preservatives, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, diluents, sweeteners, melting agents, coloring agents and flavoring agents. Preferred carriers for oral administration include gelatin, propylene glycol, cottonseed oil and sesame oil. The compositions of this invention can also be administered topically to a subject, i.e., by the direct laying on or spreading of the composition on the epidermal or epithelial tissue of the subject. Such compositions include, for example, lotions, creams, solutions, gels and solids. These topical compositions preferably comprise a safe and effective amount, usually at least about 0.1%, and preferably from about 1% to about 5%, of the 5-(N-hetero- substituted amino) quinolone. Suitable carriers for topical administration preferably remain in place on the skin as a continuous film, and resist being removed by perspiration or immersion in water. Generally, the carrier is organic in nature and capable of having dispersed or dissolved therein the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone. The carrier may include pharmaceutically-acceptable emolients, emulsifiers, thickening agents, and solvents. Methods of Administration This invention also provides methods of treating or preventing an infectious disorder in a human or other animal subject, by administering a safe and effective amount of a 5-(N-hetero- substituted amino) quinolone to said subject. As used herein, an "infectious disorder" is any disorder characterized by the presence of a microbial infection. Preferred methods of this invention are for the treatment of bacterial infections. Such infectious disorders include (for example) central nervous system infections, external ear infections, infections of the middle ear (such as acute otitis media), infections of the cranial sinuses, eye infections, infections of the oral cavity (such as infections of the teeth, gums and mucosa), upper respiratory tract infections, lower respiratory tract infections, genitourinary infections, gastrointestinal infections, gynecological infections, septicemia, bone and joint infections, skin and skin structure infections, bacterial endocarditis, burns, antibacterial prophylaxis of surgery, and antibacterial prophylaxis in immuno- suppressed patients (such as patients receiving cancer chemotherapy, or organ transplant patients). The 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolones and compositions of this invention can be administered topically or systemically. Systemic application includes any method of introducing the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone into the tissues of the body, e.g., intrathecal, epidural, intramuscular, transdermal , intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, sublingual, rectal, and oral administration. The specific dosage of antimicrobial to be administered, as well as the duration of treatment, are mutually dependent. The dosage and treatment regimen will also depend upon such factors as the specific 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone used, the resistance pattern of the infecting organism to the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone used, the ability of the 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone to reach minimum inhibitory concentrations at the site of the infection, the nature and extent of other infections (if any), the personal attributes of the subject (such as weight), compliance with the treatment regimen, and the presence and severity of any side effects of the treatment. Typically, for a human adult (weighing approximately 70 kilograms), from about 75 mg to about 30,000 mg, more preferably from about 100 mg to about 20,000 mg, more preferably from about 500 mg to about 3500 mg, of 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone are administered per day. Treatment regimens preferably extend from about 1 to about 56 days, preferably from about 7 to about 28 days, in duration. Prophylactic regimens (such as avoidance of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients) may extend 6 months, or longer, according to good medical practice. A preferred method of parenteral administration is through intramuscular injection. As is known and practiced in the art, all formulations for parenteral administration must be sterile. For mammals, especially humans, (assuming an approximate body weight of 70 kilograms) individual doses of from about 100 mg to about 7000 mg, preferably from about 500 mg to about 3500 mg, are acceptable. A preferred method of systemic administration is oral. Individual doses of from about 100 mg to about 2500 mg, preferably from about 250 mg to about 1000 mg are preferred. Topical administration can be used to deliver the 5-(N-hetero- substituted amino) quinolone systemically, or to treat a local infection. The amounts of 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone to be topically administered depends upon such factors as skin sensitivity, type and location of the tissue to be treated, the composition and carrier (if any) to be administered, the particular 5-(N-heterosubstituted amino) quinolone to be administered, as well as the particular disorder to be treated and the extent to which systemic (as distinguished from local) effects are desired. The following non-limiting examples illustrate the compounds, compositions, processes, and uses of the present invention. EXAMPLE 1 (S)-7-(3-Aminopyrrolidinyl )-l-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-5- hydrazino-l,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic Acid Dihydro- chloride II A mixture of methyl propiolate (983 g, 11.7 mole) and 500 ml of tetrahydrofuran is cooled to 5°C and cyclopropylamine (667 g, 11.7 mole) dissolved in 1000 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added over approximately one hour from an addition funnel at a rate to keep the temperature at 3-7°C. The mixture is stirred for an additional hour at 5°C and the ice bath is removed. The reaction is stirred for approximately one hour at„ 20-25°C at room temperature for 3 hours and is allowed to stand for about 2.5 days at room temperature. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure and the residue is vacuum distilled to give I. A solution of approximately 207 g of pentafluorobenzoyl chloride II (0.90 mole) and 250 ml of dioxane is cooled to 15-20°C with an ice water bath and a solution of approximately 126 g of I and 90.9 g of triethylamine (0.90 mole) in 300 ml of dioxane is added dropwise over 5.5 hours. The addition funnel is rinsed with an additional 50 ml of dioxane and the reaction is stirred at 20°C overnight. The mixture is then vacuum filtered and the precipitate is washed twice with 100 ml portions of dioxane. The filtrate is vacuum stripped at 25°C and 1000 ml of hexane is added to the residue. More precipitate is collected and added to the first batch. The combined product is then resuspended in 1500 ml of hexane, stirred briefly, filtered and vacuum dried to give III. In a 5 L three-necked round-bottom flask equipped with thermometer, argon inlet, mechanical stirrer, and an addition funnel is placed approximately 14.9 g (0.621 mole) NaH (from hexane-washed NaH/mineral oil) and 1000 ml of dimethylformamide. This mixture is cooled to 15-20°C and approximately 181.5 g of III (0.542 mole) dissolved in 2 L of dimethylformamide is added dropwise over 3.5 hours while keeping the temperature at 15-20°C. Stirring is continued for 1.5 hours at this temperature and then the mixture is further cooled to 10° and 500 ml of ice and 1 L of water is added. The mixture is neutralized to pH 7 with approximately 5 ml of acetic acid and is extracted three times with chloroform. The dried chloroform extracts are evaporated to give a slurry which is triturated with 400 ml of boiling ethanol. The resulting solids are filtered at room temperature. An additional wash with 100 ml of cold ethanol followed by vacuum drying gives IV. A mixture of IV (22g. 0.070 mole) and 2N H2SO4 (600 ml) is stirred at 100°C for 20 hours and allowed to cool to room temperature. The product V is collected by filtration, washing with water. To a mixture of V (18g, 0.060 mole) (3S)-t-butoxy- carbonyl- aminopyrrolidine (12g, 0.066 mole) and dimethylformamide (130 ml) at 54°C is added dropwise triethylamine (17 ml, 0.12 mole). The mixture is stirred at 54°C for four hours. Acetonitrile (120 ml) is added and the mixture is heated to 75°C and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The mixture is cooled to 15°C and the solid is collected by filtration, washing with acetonitrile (2 x 60 ml). The solid is stirred in acetonitrile (180 ml) for 10 minutes and the product VI is collected by filtration, washing with acetonitrile (2 x 60 ml). A mixture of VI (4.0g, 0.0086 mole), acetonitrile (120 ml) and hydrazine monohydrate (4.0 ml, 0.082 mole) is refluxed for 2.5 hours with a solution forming. The solution is diluted with acetonitrile (100 ml) and stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. The precipitate is collected by filtration and heated in acetonitrile (150 ml). Some undissolved material is removed by filtration and the filtrate is stored at room temperature overnight. The product VII is collected by filtration washing with acetonitrile. To a mixture of VII (4.0g, 0.0083 mole) and methylene chloride (85 ml) at room temperature is added saturated ethanol/HCl (55 ml) slowly with stirring. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4.5 hours and the solid is collected by filtration. This material is heated in CHCI3 (100 ml) and methanol (10 ml) is added. The mixture is cooled to room temperature and the final product (VIII) is collected by filtration, washing with CHCI3. EXAMPLE 2 (3S) -7- (3-amino-l -pyrrol idinyl )-l- (2, 4,di fluorophenyl) -6,8- difluoro-5-hydrazino-l,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid dihydrochloride F Monoethyl hydrogenmalonate (13.2g, 0.10 mol) is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (260 ml) and cooled to -65°C. Then 2M n-butyl lithium (100 ml, 0.20 mol) is added dropwise to maintain a temperature below -50°C. The reaction is warmed to -5°C and recooled to -65°C. Pentafluorobenzoyl chloride 1 (7.20 ml, 0.05 mol) is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (32 ml) and is added dropwise to keep the temperature below -50°C. After the addition, the reaction was warmed to -35°C and stirred for 1 hr. Aqueous HC1 (13%, 316 ml) is added to the solution and stirred for 30 min. The mixture is extracted with CH2C12 and washed with aqueous NaHCθ3 followed by water. The organic layer is dried with Na2S04 and concentrated to give the product 2, which exists as a mixture of keto-enol tautomers in solution.
