Description: COMPOUNDS WITH ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIPARASITIC PROPERTIES. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to novel compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same as well as a method for treatment of bacterial and parasitic disorders, wherein said compounds are administered. Background of the Invention The coccidia are intracellular protozoan parasites which are prevalent in all domestic animals as well as in man. They are the cause of coccidiosis, which is characterized by enteritis. Coccidia of the genus Eimeria cause severe intestinal infections in poultry and ruminants (cattle, sheep e.t.c). In fact, coccidiosis is one of the most frequently occurring diseases of poultry (see inter alia "Poultry Diseases" by Jordan, F.T. . and Pattison, M. , 4 th ed. , pp. 261-276, 1996, W.B. Saunders Co. Ltd., London, UK) . It deserves mentioning that the annual costs for anticoccidial medication is about £5 million in the UK only. In poultry, most cases of coccidiosis are caused by protozoa belonging to the genus Eimeria, such as e . g. E. maxima, E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. necatrix, E. hagani , E. praecox, E. mi tis and E. brunetti . Other examples of infectious Eimeria protozoa are E. gallopavonis, E. meleagrimi tis , E. adenoeides, E. meleagridis, E. dispersa, E. innocua, E. subrotunda , E. truncata, E. anseris, E. bovis, E. zurnii , E. alabamansis, E. auburnensis, E. ashsata , E. parva, E. faurei , E. arloingi , E. debliecki and E. spinosa . In poultry, e . g. chickens and turkeys, an outbreak of coccidiosis may with little or no forewarning lead to a serious infection, and unless the birds are promptly treated, the result may be a very high mortality. Animals that survive these types of infections are usually of reduced economical value, since they become less efficient in converting feed to weight gain, grow much more slowly than normal animals and frequently appear listless. A similar disease scenario may also occur upon coccidia infection of larger animals, e.g. ruminants and pigs, albeit the problem is in general more severe in poultry. In the treatment of coccidiosis, a recognized problem is the development of resistance to known anticoccidial agents. This problem has been addressed in numerous publications, such as in Stephen B. et al . , Vet . Parasi tol . , 69(1-2), pp 19-29, 1997. Thus, there is a general need in the art for both new and improved antiparasitic compounds, particularly for the treatment of coccidiosis. Furthermore, antibacterial agents such as enrofloxacin (US 4 670 444) are often added to animal feed, and this often leads to resistance problems. Indeed, new antibacterial compounds is an ongoing need in the art . Moreover, there is a general public demand to reduce the number of added drugs in animal feed. Disclosure of the Invention There are now provided novel compounds which surprisingly have both antibacterial and antiparasitic properties, thereby reducing the need for using several prior art compounds in e . g. combined antibacterial and antiparasitic treatment of livestock. Furthermore, the present novel compounds are especially well suited for treatment of coccidiosis { vide infra) .

Biological evaluation of the present compounds Antibacterial testing against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: The antibacterial activity of the present compounds was investigated by in vi tro evaluation of their M.I.C. (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) values. The evaluation was conducted in complete accordance with the "Broth dilution method" , as outlined by the US National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards "NCCLS 1988" . Solutions of the present compounds were prepared by dissolving 0.01 g of a test compound in either 10% KOH (aq) or a 10% KOH/DMF mixture, after which sterile, distilled H 2 0 was added up to a total volume of 10 ml, thereby yielding a test compound concentration of 1 000 μg/ml. The volume (ml) used of 10% KOH and DMF for dissolution of each respective test compound is given in Table 1 below. In this evaluation, the antibacterial activity of the present compounds and enrofloxacin as reference compound was tested against seven strains of gram- positive bacteria, namely Bacillus subtilus (ATCC 6633) , Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus faecium, Micrococcus Luteus (ATCC 9341) , Staph . aureus (ATCC 29737) , Staph . epidermidis (ATCC 12228) and Staphylococcus (ATCC 6538) . The results are presented in the following Table 6. Table 6 (cont.) As is evident from Table 6 above, the compounds according to the present invention have excellent antibacterial properties. Indeed, the antibacterial activity of the present compounds against gram-positive bacteria is at least equal, and in some instances even clearly superior (e.g. JA 4 and JA 39) , to that of enrofloxacin . In the same manner as above, the M.I.C. values of the present compounds JA 3 , JA 5, JA 12 , JA 42, JA 73 and enrofloxacin as reference compound were investigated also on gram-negative bacteria. The gram-negative bacteria used were E. coli (ATCC 25922), E. Coli (ATCC 8739), E. Coli (ATCC 10536), E. Coli Pathogenic, KL . Pnemonia (ATCC 10031) , Bordetella bronchiseptic (ATCC 4617) , Salmonella typhi , Salmonella spp. , Proteus spp. , Pasterulla Duck and Pasterulla Camel. In summary, it was found that all of said present compounds have antibacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria, and that their activity is roughly equal to that of enrofloxacin. Antibacterial testing against Mvcoplasma : As is well known, Mycoplasma are bacteria which often cause severe respiratory tract infections in both humans and animals. As typical examples, an infection of M. pneumoniae in humans causes pneumonia, whereas an infection of M. gallisepticum in avians, especially chickens, normally causes chronic respiratory disease or sinusitis . The M.I.C. values of the compounds JA 1 , JA 3 , JA 5 , JA 12, JA 42 and JA 43 were determined in vi tro against M. gallisepticum. Enrofloxacin, tylosin and oxytetracyclin were used as reference compounds. The tested compounds were all stored and applied as solutions in distilled water. The M.I.C. evaluation was performed in microtitre plates, and the methodology employed was basically that of Tanner and Wu (Avian Disease, 36:714- 717 (1992)). The results are presented in Table 7 below: Table 7: M.I.C. values against M. gallisepticum As can be seen in Table 7, the present compounds have antibacterial activity against M. gallisepticum as well, and the high antibacterial activity of JA 1 is noteworthy. Antiparasitic testing against Coccidia : The anticoccidial activity of the present compounds as prophylactic agents was evaluated in vivo on 60 one day old (1 day after hatch) chickens of Habbared X breed. The chickens were divided into four groups of 20 birds each, and each group was located in a separate pen (1 m x 1 m) . The chickens were then fed with unmedicated food up to day 7 after hatch. Fresh water was supplied ad libi tum. On day 8 after hatch, the four groups were fed as follows (1 ppm=l mg drug/kg feed) : Group #1 : feed containing JA 39 (100 ppm); Group #2: feed containing JA 42 (100 ppm) ; Group #3: feed containing Coxistac (60 ppm), a known anticoccidial agent (see US 3 857 948) ; Group #4 : feed containing no drug (control group) . The chickens were fed as above on day 8 and 9 after hatch. On day 10 after hatch, each chicken was infected orally by 6 000-7 000 oocysts containing a mixture of 5 mature sporulated strains, namely Eimeria acervulina, E. maxima, E. necatrix, E. tenella and E. brunetti . The groups #1-3 receieved drug as above from day 10 to 21 after hatch. From day 14 to 21 after hatch, fresh fecal droplets were collected and examined daily. The average number of oocysts/g faeces was then calculated in accordance with the so-called Mc-Master technique (Soulsby, E.J., Helminths, Arthropods & Protozoa of domesticated animals, p. 789, 6 th Ed., Williams & Wilkins Co. Baltimore (USA), Tindall & Cassell Ltd., London, 1968). The final weight of and mean total amount of feed consumed by each bird were also examined, and the results are summarized in Table 8 hereinbelow. Table 8: Anticoccidial effect of JA 39 and JA 42 on chicken As is evident from Table 8 above, the compounds JA 39 and JA 42 have excellent anticoccidial effect. This is also manifested in the higher mean body weight and lower amount of feed consumed as compared to both the Coxistac and the non-treated group. Moreover, the prophylactic anticoccidial effect of JA 12, JA 39 and JA 42 was also evaluated in chickens of Arbor Aker breed. These trials were conducted by using basically the same test protocol as that used for the chickens of Habbared X breed, albeit with the following modifications : i ) On day 3 after hatch, the tested groups of chickens receieved feed containing 100 ppm of JA 12, JA 39, JA 42 or Coxistac (60 ppm) ; ii ) On day 7 after hatch, the chickens were infected orally by oocysts containing a mixture of 8 mature sporulated strains, namely E. mi tis, E. hagani , E. praecox, E. acervulina, E. maxima , E. necatrix, E. tenella and E. runetti. For JA 39 and JA 42, the results were essentially the same as those reported for the trials with the chickens of Habbared X breed ( vide supra) , whereas the antiparasitic efficacy of JA 12 was very similar to that of JA 39. In yet another evalution of the prophylactic anticoccidial effect of the present compounds, additional trials on chickens of Habbared X breed were performed. The same test protocol as the one previously employed for this breed of chickens was used, albeit with the following following modifications: i ) On day 8 after hatch, the chickens received feed containing B700 (100 ppm) , JA 3 (200 ppm) or Coxistac (100 ppm) ; ii ) On day 11 after hatch, the chickens were infected orally by oocysts containing a mixture of 8 mature sporulated strains, namely E. mi tis, E. hagani , E. praecox, E. acervulina , E. maxima , E. necatrix, E. tenella and E. brunetti . The results of this evaluation were slightly unexpected. Both B700 and JA 3 displayed a significant anticoccidial activity, albeit the total number of oocysts during the treatment was higher than for the group treated with Coxistac. However, despite the said higher number of oocysts, the chickens treated with B700 or JA 3 experienced an approximately 10% increased body weight gain as compared to the Coxistac treated group. Moreover, a similar or even lowered (up to about 10%) feed consumption was observed in the chickens treated with B700 or JA 3. In short, the net effect of the treatment with B700 or JA 3 was clearly beneficial to the chickens. Antiparasitic testing against Trwanoso a : The antitrypanosomal activity of the present compounds was evaluated in vivo on 40 white albino rats. The rats were divided into 4 groups of 10 rats each. The rats were then inoculated intraperitoneally with 10 3 organisms of T. evansi (isolated from blood of naturally infected camels) in accordance with known methodology (see Kolmer, J.A. , J. Infect . Dis . , 17:78-95 (1915)). The progress of the infection was monitored with the aid of standard Giemsa procedure (see Cruickshank, R. , Handbook of Bacteriology, E and S Livingstone Ltd. , Edinborough and London, 1961) , whereby peripheral blood samples from the rats were examined under microscope. The number of Trypanosoma organisms in every blood sample was calculated and classified as follows (the numbers below are given for fields examined on a microscope slide) : +++ = > 10 organisms ++ = 5-10 organisms + 1-4 organisms 0 = no organisms detected On day 1 post infection, each group of rats was subcutaneously injected with a single dose of tested compound in an amount of 50.0 mg/kg body weight. The following drugs were administered: Group #1: JA 68 Group #2 : JA 74 Group #3 : JA 110 Group #4: saline solution (control group) The results of these trials are depicted in Table 9 below: Table 9: Antitrypanosomal effect of JA 68, JA 74 and JA 110 on white rat Table 9 (cont . ) : As supported by the results obtained ( vide supra) , the tested compounds are all highly suitable for treatment of Trypanosoma infection as well. In summary, it should be clear from the present disclosure that the compounds according to the present invention are versatile new agents for antibacterial and/or antiparasitic treatment.
