     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     This invention relates to antimicrobial compounds, and more particularly to pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-ones useful for treating, preventing and reducing risk of microbial infections. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Since the discovery of penicillin in the 1920s and streptomycin in the 1940s, many new compounds have been discovered or specifically designed for use as antibiotic agents. It was once thought that infectious diseases could be completely controlled or eradicated with the use of such therapeutic agents. However, such views have been challenged because strains of cells or microorganisms resistant to currently effective therapeutic agents continue to evolve. Almost every antibiotic agent developed for clinical use has ultimately encountered problems with the emergence of resistant bacteria. 
     For example, resistant strains of Gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant staphylococci, penicillin-resistant streptococci, and vancomycin-resistant enterococci have developed. Resistant bacteria can cause serious and even fatal results for infected patients. See, e.g., Lowry, F. D. “Antimicrobial Resistance: The Example of  Staphylococcus aureus,” J. Clin. Invest ., vol. 111, no. 9, pp. 1265-1273 (2003); and Gold, H. S. and Moellering, R. C., Jr., “Antimicrobial-Drug Resistance,”  N. Engl. J. Med ., vol. 335, pp. 1445-53 (1996). 
     The discovery and development of new antibacterial agents have been for decades a major focus of many pharmaceutical companies. Nonetheless, in more recent years there has been an exodus from this area of research and drug development resulting in very few new antibiotics entering the market. This lack of new antibiotics is particularly disturbing, especially at a time when bacterial resistance to current therapies is increasing both in the hospital and community settings. 
     One approach to developing new antimicrobial compounds is to design modulators, for example, inhibitors, of bacterial ribosome function. By modulating or inhibiting bacterial ribosome function, antimicrobial compounds could interfere with essential processes such as RNA translation and protein synthesis, thereby providing an antimicrobial effect. In fact, some antibiotic compounds such as erythromycin, clindamycin, and linezolid are known to bind to the ribosome.

This structure based drug discovery approach is described in the following publication: Franceschi, F. and Duffy, E. M., “Structure-based drug design meets the ribosome”,  Biochemical Pharmacology , vol. 71, pp. 1016-1025 (2006). 
     Based on this structure based drug design approach, the present disclosure describes new chemical classes of antimicrobial compounds useful for treating bacterial infections in humans and animals. Without being limited by theories, these compounds are believed to inhibit bacterial ribosome function by binding to the ribosome. By taking advantage of these ribosome binding sites, the antimicrobial compounds of the present disclosure can provide better activity, especially against resistant strains of bacteria, than currently available antibiotic compounds. 
     The present disclosure therefore fills an important ongoing need for new antimicrobial agents, particularly for antimicrobial agents, having activity against resistant pathogenic bacterial organisms. 
     The present disclosure provides a family of compounds or tautomers thereof, that can be used as antimicrobial agents, more particularly as antibacterial agents. 
     The present disclosure also includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds and tautomers. 
     The compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers disclosed herein can have asymmetric centers. Compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers of the present disclosure containing an asymmetrically substituted atom can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Optically active forms of compounds can be prepared, for example, by resolution of racemic forms or by synthesis from optically active starting materials. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers disclosed herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present disclosure. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers of the present disclosure are described and can be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separate isomeric forms. All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic, and geometric isomeric forms of a structure are intended, unless specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated. All processes used to prepare compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers of the present disclosure and intermediates made herein are considered to be part of the present disclosure. All tautomers of shown or described compounds are also considered to be part of the present disclosure. Furthermore, the disclosure also includes metabolites of the compounds disclosed herein. 
     The disclosure also provides for isotopically-labeled compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers, which are identical to those recited in formulae of the disclosure, but for the replacement of one or more atoms by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number most commonly found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and fluorine, such as  3 H,  11 C,  14 C, and  18 F. 
     The compounds of the present disclosure or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers that contain the aforementioned isotopes and/or isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of the present disclosure. Isotopically-labeled compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers of the present disclosure, for example, those into which radioactive isotopes such as  3 H and  14 C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritium, i.e.,  3 H, and carbon-14, i.e.,  14 C, isotopes are particularly preferred due to their ease of preparation and detectability.  11 C and  18 F isotopes are particularly useful in PET (positron emission tomography). PET is useful in brain imaging. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e.,  2 H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, i.e., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically labeled compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers having a formula of the disclosed herein can generally be prepared as described in the procedures, Schemes and/or in the Examples disclosed herein, by substituting a non-isotopically labeled reagent with a readily available isotopically labeled reagent. In one embodiment, the compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers disclosed herein are not isotopically labeled. 
     When any variable (e.g., R) occurs more than one time in any constituent or formulae of the disclosed herein, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with one or more R moieties, then R at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible, but only if such combinations result in stable compounds within a designated atom&#39;s normal valence. 
     When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting two atoms in a ring, then such substituent can be bonded to any atom on the ring. When a substituent is listed without indicating the atom via which such substituent is bonded to the rest of the compound of a given formula, then such substituent can be bonded via any atom in such substituent. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible, but only if such combinations result in stable compounds. 
     In cases wherein compounds of the present disclosure, or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers thereof, contain nitrogen atoms, these, where appropriate, can be converted to N-oxides by treatment with an oxidizing agent (e.g., meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA) and/or hydrogen peroxides). Thus, shown and claimed nitrogen atoms are considered to cover both the shown nitrogen and its N-oxide (N→O) derivative, as appropriate. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to N-oxides of the compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers disclosed herein. 
     One approach to developing improved anti-proliferative and anti-infective agents is to provide modulators (for example, inhibitors) of ribosome function. 
     Ribosomes are ribonucleoproteins, which are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Ribosomes are the cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis. During gene expression, ribosomes translate the genetic information encoded in a messenger RNA into protein (Garrett et al. (2000) “ The Ribosome: Structure, Function, Antibiotics and Cellular Interactions ,” American Society for Microbiology, Washington, D.C.). 
     Ribosomes comprise two nonequivalent ribonucleoprotein subunits. The larger subunit (also known as the “large ribosomal subunit”) is about twice the size of the smaller subunit (also known as the “small ribosomal subunit”). The small ribosomal subunit binds messenger RNA (mRNA) and mediates the interactions between mRNA and transfer RNA (tRNA) anticodons on which the fidelity of translation depends. The large ribosomal subunit catalyzes peptide bond formation, i.e., the peptidyl-transferase reaction of protein synthesis, and includes, at least, three different tRNA binding sites known as the aminoacyl, peptidyl, and exit sites. The aminoacyl site or A-site accommodates the incoming aminoacyl-tRNA that is to contribute its amino acid to the growing peptide chain. Also, the A space of the A-site is important. The peptidyl site or P-site accommodates the peptidyl-tRNA complex, i.e., the tRNA with its amino acid that is part of the growing peptide chain. The exit or E-site accommodates the deacylated tRNA after it has donated its amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain. 
     1. Definitions 
     “Isomerism” means compounds that have identical molecular formulae but that differ in the nature or the sequence of bonding of their atoms or in the arrangement of their atoms in space. 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 “diastereoisomers”, and stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images are termed “enantiomers”, or sometimes optical isomers. A carbon atom bonded to four nonidentical substituents is termed a “chiral center”. 
     “Chiral isomer” means a compound with at least one chiral center. A compound with one chiral center has two enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality and may exist either as an individual enantiomer or as a mixture of enantiomers. A mixture containing equal amounts of individual enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality is termed a “racemic mixture”. A compound that has more than one chiral center has 2 n-1  enantiomeric pairs, where n is the number of chiral centers. Compounds with more than one chiral center may exist as either an individual diastereomer or as a mixture of diastereomers, termed a “diastereomeric mixture”. When one chiral center is present, a stereoisomer may be characterized by the absolute configuration (R or S) of that chiral center. Absolute configuration refers to the arrangement in space of the substituents attached to the chiral center. The substituents attached to the chiral center under consideration are ranked in accordance with the  Sequence Rule  of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog. (Cahn et al,  Angew. Chem. Inter. Mit.  1966, 5, 385; errata 511; Cahn et al.,  Angew. Chem.  1966, 78, 413; Cahn and Ingold,  J. Chem. Soc.  1951 (London), 612; Cahn et al.,  Experientia  1956, 12, 81; Cahn, J.,  Chem. Educ.  1964, 41, 116). 
     “Geometric Isomers” means the diastereomers that owe their existence to hindered rotation about double bonds. These configurations are differentiated in their names by the prefixes cis and trans, or Z and E, which indicate that the groups are on the same or opposite side of the double bond in the molecule according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules. 
     Further, the compounds discussed in this application include all atropic isomers thereof “Atropic isomers” are a type of stereoisomer in which the atoms of two isomers are arranged differently in space. Atropic isomers owe their existence to a restricted rotation caused by hindrance of rotation of large groups about a central bond. Such atropic isomers typically exist as a mixture, however, as a result of recent advances in chromatography techniques, it has been possible to separate mixtures of two atropic isomers in select cases. 
     Some compounds of the present disclosure can exist in a tautomeric form which is also intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure. “Tautomers” refers to compounds whose structures differ markedly in the arrangement of atoms, but which exist in easy and rapid equilibrium. It is to be understood that compounds of the present disclosure may be depicted as different tautomers. It should also be understood that when compounds have tautomeric forms, all tautomeric forms are intended to be within the scope of the disclosure, and the naming of the compounds does not exclude any tautomeric form. 
     The compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present disclosure can exist in one or more tautomeric forms, including the enol and imine form and the keto and enamine form, and geometric isomers and mixtures thereof. All such tautomeric forms are included within the scope of the present disclosure. Tautomers exist as mixtures of a tautomeric set in solution. In solid form, usually one tautomer predominates. Even though one tautomer may be described, the present disclosure includes all tautomers of the compounds disclosed herein. 
     A tautomer is one of two or more structural isomers that exist in equilibrium and are readily converted from one isomeric form to another. This reaction results in the formal migration of a hydrogen atom accompanied by a shift of adjacent conjugated double bonds. In solutions where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of the tautomers can be reached. The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. The concept of tautomers that are interconvertible by tautomerizations is called tautomerism. 
     Of the various types of tautomerism that are possible, two are commonly observed. In keto-enol tautomerism, a simultaneous shift of electrons and a hydrogen atom occurs. Ring-chain tautomerism, exhibited by glucose and other sugars, arises as a result of the aldehyde group (—CHO) in a sugar chain molecule reacting with one of the hydroxy groups (—OH) in the same molecule to give it a cyclic (ring-shaped) form. 
     Tautomerizations are catalyzed by: Base: 1. deprotonation; 2. formation of a delocalized anion (e.g., an enolate); 3. protonation at a different position of the anion; Acid: 1. protonation; 2. formation of a delocalized cation; 3. deprotonation at a different position adjacent to the cation. 
     Common tautomeric pairs include: ketone-enol, amide-nitrile, lactam-lactim, amide-imidic acid tautomerism in heterocyclic rings (e.g., in the nucleobases guanine, thymine, and cytosine), amine-enamine and enamine-enamine. Examples below are included for illustrative purposes, and the present disclosure is not limited to the examples: 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     The term “substituted,” as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogens on the designated atom, usually a carbon, oxygen, or nitrogen atom, is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom&#39;s normal valency is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound. When a substituent is keto or oxo (i.e., ═O), then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced.

The alkylene diradicals are also known as “alkylenyl” radicals. Alkylene groups can be saturated or unsaturated (e.g., containing —CH═CH— or —C≡C— subunits), at one or several positions. In some embodiments, alkylene groups include to 9 carbon atoms (for example, 1 to 6 carbon atoms, 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or 1 to 2 carbon atoms).

Lists of suitable salts are found in  Remington&#39;s Pharmaceutical Sciences,  18th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., USA, p. 1445 (1990). 
     As used herein, “stable compound” and “stable structure” are meant to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent. 
     As used herein, the term “treating” means to provide a therapeutic intervention to cure or ameliorate an infection. In some embodiments, “treating” refers to administering a compound or pharmaceutical composition as provided herein for therapeutic purposes. The term “therapeutic treatment” refers to administering treatment to a patient already suffering from a disease thus causing a therapeutically beneficial effect, such as ameliorating existing symptoms, ameliorating the underlying metabolic causes of symptoms, postponing or preventing the further development of a disorder, and/or reducing the severity of symptoms that will or are expected to develop. 
     As used herein, the term “preventing”, as used herein means, to completely or almost completely stop an infection from occurring, for example when the patient or subject is predisposed to an infection or at risk of contracting an infection. Preventing can also include inhibiting, i.e., arresting the development, of an infection. 
     As used herein, the term “reducing the risk of”, as used herein, means to lower the likelihood or probability of an infection occurring, for example when the patient or subject is predisposed to an infection or at risk of contracting an infection. 
     As used herein, “unsaturated” refers to compounds having at least one degree of unsaturation (e.g., at least one multiple bond) and includes partially and fully unsaturated compounds. 
     As used herein, the term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of a compound or a tautomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound or tautomer (including combinations of compounds and/or tautomers thereof, and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound or tautomer) of the present disclosure that is sufficient to elicit biological activity when administered alone or in combination as an antimicrobial agent. For example, an effective amount refers to an amount of the compound or tautomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound or tautomer that is present in a composition, a formulation or on a medical device given to a recipient patient or subject sufficient to elicit biological activity, for example, anti-infective activity, such as e.g., anti-microbial activity, anti-bacterial activity, anti-fungal activity, anti-viral activity, or anti-parasitic activity. 
     The term “prophylactically effective amount” means an amount of a compound or a tautomer of the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound or tautomer (including combinations of compounds and/or tautomers thereof, and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof), of the present disclosure that is sufficient to prevent or reduce the risk of an infection when administered alone or in combination as an antimicrobial agent. For example, a prophylactically effective amount refers to an amount of the compound or tautomer thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound or tautomer that is present in a composition, a formulation, or on a medical device given to a recipient patient or subject sufficient to prevent or reduce the risk of an infection due to a surgical procedure or an invasive medical procedure. 
     As used herein, the terms “expose,” “exposure,” or “exposed” means that a subject comes in contact in any way with a bacterium or any component thereof (e.g., bacterial cell wall, bacterial cell membrane, a bacterial nucleic acid, a bacterial polynucleotide, a bacterial protein, a bacterial polypeptide, a bacterial spore, and a bacterial toxin). For example, a subject can be exposed to a bacterium or any component thereof by ingesting, inhaling, or touching anything which contains the bacterium or any component thereof. Bacterium, as well as components of a bacterium (e.g., bacterial cell wall, bacterial cell membrane, a bacterial nucleic acid, a bacterial polynucleotide, a bacterial protein, a bacterial polypeptide, a bacterial spore, and a bacterial toxin), can cause an infection or symptoms of an infection in a subject. An example of a bacterial component that can cause an infection is a bacterial spore. 
     “Suspected exposure,” as used herein, means that there is certain possibility, although it is not known, that a subject has been exposed to a microorganism, for example, a bacterium, and thus is at the risk of a microbial (bacterial) infection, such as a bacterial infection. In some embodiments, “suspected exposure” means that there is greater than a 50% possibility that a subject has been exposed to a microorganism, for example, a bacterium. 
     As used herein, a “symptom” of a microbial infection, for example, a bacterial infection, can be any indication that the subject exposed or suspected of being exposed to the bacterium is not normal, well, or comfortable, regardless of the subject&#39;s subjective perception or feeling. “Symptom” includes, but is not limited to, headache, stomachache, abdominal cramps, abdominal pain, muscle pain, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, weakness, tiredness, soreness, rash or bumps on skin, wounds in any parts of the body (skin, head, eye, ear, nose, mouth, torso, limbs, arm, hand, leg, foot, etc.), and an abnormality in any tissue or organ (skin, bone, blood, lymph, intestine, stomach, pancreas, brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, bladder, ovary, etc.). 
     A bacterium is “easily produced or disseminated” if the bacterium can be produced or disseminated by routine methods, processes, or techniques and with common materials, reagents, and equipment available in the art, or by methods, processes, or techniques and with materials, reagents, and equipment which are accessible to and can be operated or used by a lay person having little or no training in the art. 
     The term “moderate morbidity” refers to morbidity of no less than 10%, no less than 15%, no less than 20%, no less than 25%, no less than 30%, no less than 35%, no less than 40%, or no less than 45%. The term “high morbidity” refers to morbidity of no less than 50%, no less than 55%, no less than 60%, no less than 65%, no less than 70%, no less than 75%, no less than 80%, no less than 85%, no less than 90%, or no less than 95%. 
     The term “moderate mortality” refers to mortality of no less than 10%, no less than 15%, no less than 20%, no less than 25%, no less than 30%, no less than 35%, no less than 40%, or no less than 45%. The term “high mortality” refers to mortality of no less than 50%, no less than 55%, no less than 60%, no less than 65%, no less than 70%, no less than 75%, no less than 80%, no less than 85%, no less than 90%, or no less than 95%. 
     The terms “resistance” or “resistant” refer to the antibiotic/organism standards as defined by the Clinical and Laboratories Standards Institute (CLSI) and/or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 
     As used herewith, the terms “multi-drug resistance,” “multi-drug resistant,” or “MDR” refer to acquired non-susceptibility to at least two antimicrobial agents, e.g., resistance to one agent in three or more antimicrobial categories. The terms “extremely-drug resistant,” “extensive drug resistance,” or “XDR,” as used herein, refer to acquired non-susceptibility to at least one agent in all but two or fewer antimicrobial categories. For example, bacterial isolates remain susceptible to only one or two categories. Accordingly, an XDR bacterial isolate is always an MDR bacterial isolate, but an MDR bacterial isolate is not necessarily an XDR bacterial isolate. For example, an XDR microorganism is a  Pseudomonas aeruginosa  isolate that is susceptible to only one or two antimicrobial categories, such as a  Pseudomonas aeruginosa  isolate that is only susceptible to polymyxins (for example, colistin) or only susceptible to a pyrrolocytosine compound described herein. See, for example, Magiorakos et al.,  Clin. Microbial Infect.  2012: 18: 268-281, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. 
     The term “subject” includes animals which either have or are susceptible or are suspected to have acquired a microbial infection (e.g., a bacterial infection). Examples of subjects include animals such as farm animals (e.g., cows, pigs, horses, goats, rabbits, sheep, chickens, etc.), lab animals (mice, rats, monkeys, chimpanzees, etc.), pets (e.g., dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, etc.), birds (e.g., chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, crows, ravens, sparrows, etc.), primates (e.g., monkeys, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans), and other animals (e.g., squirrels, raccoons, mice, rats, etc.). In some embodiments, the subject is a mouse or rat. In yet another embodiment, the subject is a cow, a pig, or a chicken. In another embodiment, the subject is a human. 
     As used herein, the term ESBL is extended spectrum beta-lactamase. The term KPC is  Klebsiella pneumoniae  carbapenemase. 
     As used herein, the term acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) encompasses complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) and complication skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI), which have been used interchangeably. The terms uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections (uCSSSI) and uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections (uCSSTI) have been used interchangeably. 
     As used herein, the term “spp.” is the abbreviation for species. 
     As used herein, the term “formulae of the disclosure” or “formulae disclosed herein” includes one or more of the Formulae: (AA), (A), (I), (II), and (III). 
     As used herein, the term “compound of the disclosure” or “compound disclosed herein” includes one or more compounds of the formulae of the disclosure or a compound explicitly disclosed herein. 
     The term “about,” when used in conjunction with a numerical range, modifies that range by extending the boundaries above and below the numerical values set forth. In general, the term “about” is used herein to modify a numerical value above and below the stated value by a variance of 10%. Thus, “about 10” means 9 to 11. 
     All percentages and ratios used herein, unless otherwise indicated, are by weight. 
     Throughout the description, where compositions are described as having, including, or comprising specific components, or where processes are described as having, including, or comprising specific process steps, it is contemplated that compositions of the present disclosure also consist essentially of, or consist of, the recited components, and that the processes of the present disclosure also consist essentially of, or consist of, the recited processing steps. Further, it should be understood that the order of steps or order for performing certain actions are immaterial so long as the invention remains operable. Moreover, two or more steps or actions can be conducted simultaneously.

One approach includes surface plasmon resonance (SPR) that can be used to evaluate the binding properties of molecules of interest with respect to a ribosome, ribosomal subunit or a fragment thereof. 
     SPR methodologies measure the interaction between two or more macromolecules in real-time through the generation of a quantum-mechanical surface plasmon. One device, (BIAcore Biosensor RTM from Pharmacia Biosensor, Piscataway, N.J.) provides a focused beam of polychromatic light to the interface between a gold film (provided as a disposable biosensor “chip”) and a buffer compartment that can be regulated by the user. A 100 nm thick “hydrogel” composed of carboxylated dextran that provides a matrix for the covalent immobilization of analytes of interest is attached to the gold film. When the focused light interacts with the free electron cloud of the gold film, plasmon resonance is enhanced. The resulting reflected light is spectrally depleted in wavelengths that optimally evolved the resonance. By separating the reflected polychromatic light into its component wavelengths (by means of a prism), and determining the frequencies that are depleted, the BIAcore establishes an optical interface which accurately reports the behavior of the generated surface plasmon resonance. When designed as above, the plasmon resonance (and thus the depletion spectrum) is sensitive to mass in the evanescent field (which corresponds roughly to the thickness of the hydrogel). If one component of an interacting pair is immobilized to the hydrogel, and the interacting partner is provided through the buffer compartment, the interaction between the two components can be measured in real time based on the accumulation of mass in the evanescent field and its corresponding effects of the plasmon resonance as measured by the depletion spectrum. This system permits rapid and sensitive real-time measurement of the molecular interactions without the need to label either component. 
     (2) Fluorescence Polarization. Fluorescence polarization (FP) is a measurement technique that can readily be applied to protein-protein, protein-ligand, or RNA-ligand interactions in order to derive IC 50 s and Kds of the association reaction between two molecules. In this technique one of the molecules of interest is conjugated with a fluorophore. This is generally the smaller molecule in the system (in this case, the compound of interest). The sample mixture, containing both the ligand-probe conjugate and the ribosome, ribosomal subunit or fragment thereof, is excited with vertically polarized light. Light is absorbed by the probe fluorophores, and re-emitted a short time later. The degree of polarization of the emitted light is measured. Polarization of the emitted light is dependent on several factors, but most importantly on viscosity of the solution and on the apparent molecular weight of the fluorophore. With proper controls, changes in the degree of polarization of the emitted light depends only on changes in the apparent molecular weight of the fluorophore, which in-turn depends on whether the probe-ligand conjugate is free in solution, or is bound to a receptor. Binding assays based on FP have a number of important advantages, including the measurement of IC 50 s and Kds under true homogenous equilibrium conditions, speed of analysis and amenity to automation, and ability to screen in cloudy suspensions and colored solutions. 
     (3) Protein Synthesis. It is contemplated that, in addition to characterization by the foregoing biochemical assays, the compound of interest can also be characterized as a modulator (for example, an inhibitor of protein synthesis) of the functional activity of the ribosome or ribosomal subunit. 
     Furthermore, more specific protein synthesis inhibition assays can be performed by administering the compound to a whole organism, tissue, organ, organelle, cell, a cellular or subcellular extract, or a purified ribosome preparation and observing its pharmacological and inhibitory properties by determining, for example, its inhibition constant (IC 50 ) for inhibiting protein synthesis. Incorporation of  3 H leucine or  35 S methionine, or similar experiments can be performed to investigate protein synthesis activity. A change in the amount or the rate of protein synthesis in the cell in the presence of a molecule of interest indicates that the molecule is a modulator of protein synthesis. A decrease in the rate or the amount of protein synthesis indicates that the molecule is an inhibitor of protein synthesis. 
     (4) Antimicrobial assays and other evaluation. Furthermore, the compounds can be assayed for anti-proliferative or anti-infective properties on a cellular level. For example, where the target organism is a microorganism, the activity of compounds of interest can be assayed by growing the microorganisms of interest in media either containing or lacking the compound. Growth inhibition can be indicative that the molecule can be acting as a protein synthesis inhibitor. More specifically, the activity of the compounds of interest against bacterial pathogens can be demonstrated by the ability of the compound to inhibit growth of defined strains of human pathogens. For this purpose, a panel of bacterial strains can be assembled to include a variety of target pathogenic species, some containing resistance mechanisms that have been characterized. Use of such a panel of organisms permits the determination of structure-activity relationships not only in regards to potency and spectrum, but also with a view to obviating resistance mechanisms. 
     (5) The translation-only assay for ribosomal protein production uses purified 70S ribosomes, corresponding S100 extracts containing the biological molecules necessary to support protein translation, and mRNA encoding firefly luciferase or another protein reporter. The resulting luminescence signal is proportional to protein translation and is determined by a luminescence assay plate reader (i.e. Victor2V Multilabel Reader). This assay is performed with varying concentrations of potential translation inhibitors in the assay. The resulting data are used to calculate IC50 values of inhibition for the compounds using appropriate software (i.e. MDL Assay Explorer with a one-site competition model of binding). 
     The in vitro activity of the compounds of the present disclosure can be determined. Antimicrobial testing is typically performed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are determined by the microdilution method in a final volume of 100 μl according to protocols outlined by The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Performance standards for reference strains are assessed within the same experimental design to maintain quality control. See, for example, Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute: Methods for dilution antimicrobial susceptibility tests for bacteria that grow aerobically M7-A8. Approved Standard-Eighth Edition. Wayne, Pa.: CLSI; December 2008: and Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute: Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing M100-S20; Approved Standard-Twentieth Edition. Wayne, Pa.: CLSI; June 2010. 
     For example, an agar-dilution MIC assay could be run using the following protocol. Pure cultures of isolates to be tested are grown on Chocolate Agar at 35′C to 36.5° C. in a CO 2  enriched (5%) atmosphere for 16-18 hours. Using a cotton applicator or a bacteriologic loop, isolated colonies (or cells from less dense areas of growth on the plate) are suspended in 5 mL saline. The density of the suspension is then adjusted to contain 10 8  colony forming units (CFU)/ml by comparison with a 0.5 McFarland BaSO 4  turbidity standard. This suspension is then diluted in 1:10 in MH broth to give 10 7  CFU/ml. Using a multichannel pipettor, 0.002 mL spots of the bacterial suspension is dispensed onto the surface of the medium, i.e., 10 4  CFU. Each plate of the set of antibiotic containing media plus a plate of Chocolate Agar or GCS medium (as a control to determine that all isolates grew) is inoculated. The inoculated plates are air-dried at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes. The plates are then inverted and incubated at 35° C. to 36.5° C. in a CO 2 -enriched (5%) atmosphere for 24 hours. The plates are then examined for growth. 
     Another in vitro assay that can be performed is a time-kill kinetic assay. Using this assay, bactericidal activity can be determined by time-kill methodology as described by Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute. For example, the compounds to be tested are added to test flasks at concentrations of 2×-32× the MIC (determined, for example, using the assays described herein). Once dissolved, compounds are diluted in Giolitti Cantoni (GC) broth to a volume of 1 mL at the 25x desired final concentration: a flask containing 1 mL of GC broth without compound is prepared as a growth control. A 0.5 McFarland equivalent is prepared for the test organism, diluted 1:200 in pre-warmed GC broth, and incubated in 5% CO 2 -enriched atmosphere at 35° C. for 30 minutes prior to exposure to the test compound. After the 30-minute pre-incubation, 24 mL is removed and added to each test flask for a final volume of 25 mL. A sample is removed from the growth control flask, diluted in Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) and plated on Chocolate Agar (CA) to confirm an inoculum of approximately 5×10 5  CFU/mL. Samples are then removed from all flasks at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours, diluted in PBS and plated on CA to determine the number of viable cells in each flask. Plate counts are incubated at 35° C. in 5% CO 2 -enriched atmosphere for 48 hours and colonies are counted. Plate counts are then graphed. 
     The antimicrobial and other drug properties of the compounds can further be evaluated in various in vivo mammalian assays, such as a mouse or rat peritonitis infectious models, skin and soft tissue models (often referred to as the thigh model), or a mouse pneumonia model. There are septicemia or organ infection models known to those skilled in the art. These efficacy models can be used as part of the evaluation process and can be used as a guide of potential efficacy in humans. Endpoints can vary from reduction in bacterial burden to lethality. For the latter endpoint, results are often expressed as a PD 50  value, or the dose of drug that protects 50% of the animals from mortality. 
     To further assess a compound&#39;s drug-like properties, measurements of inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes and phase II metabolizing enzyme activity can also be measured either using recombinant human enzyme systems or more complex systems like human liver microsomes. Further, compounds can be assessed as substrates of these metabolic enzyme activities as well. These activities are useful in determining the potential of a compound to cause drug-drug interactions or generate metabolites that retain or have no useful antimicrobial activity. 
     To get an estimate of the potential of the compound to be orally bioavailable, one can also perform solubility and Caco-2 assays. The latter is a cell line from human epithelium that allows measurement of drug uptake and passage through a Caco-2 cell monolayer often growing within wells of a 24-well microtiter plate equipped with a 1 micron membrane. Free drug concentrations can be measured on the basolateral side of the monolayer, assessing the amount of drug that can pass through the intestinal monolayer. Appropriate controls to ensure monolayer integrity and tightness of gap junctions are needed. Using this same system one can get an estimate of P-glycoprotein mediated efflux. P-glycoprotein is a pump that localizes to the apical membrane of cells, forming polarized monolayers. This pump can abrogate the active or passive uptake across the Caco-2 cell membrane, resulting in less drug passing through the intestinal epithelial layer. These results are often done in conjunction with solubility measurements and both of these factors are known to contribute to oral bioavailability in mammals. Measurements of oral bioavailability in animals and ultimately in man using traditional pharmacokinetic experiments will determine the absolute oral bioavailability. 
     Experimental results can also be used to build models that help predict physical-chemical parameters that contribute to drug-like properties. When such a model is verified, experimental methodology can be reduced, with increased reliance on the model predictability.

     5. Formulation and Administration 
     The compositions and methods of the present disclosure can be practiced by delivering the compounds of the present disclosure using a means for delivery e.g., any suitable carrier. The dose of active compound, mode of administration and use of suitable carrier will depend upon the intended patient or subject and the targeted microorganism, e.g., the target bacterial organism. The formulations, both for human medical use and veterinary use, of compounds according to the present disclosure typically include such compounds in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 
     The carrier(s) should be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with compounds of the present disclosure and not deleterious to the recipient. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, in this regard, are intended to include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, absorption delaying agents, and the like, compatible with pharmaceutical administration. Supplementary active compounds (identified or designed according to the disclosure and/or known in the art) also can be incorporated into the compositions. In some embodiments, formulations are prepared by bringing the compound into association with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. 
     A pharmaceutical composition of the disclosure should be formulated to be compatible with its intended route of administration. Solutions or suspensions can include the following components: a sterile diluent such as water, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The pH can be adjusted with acids or bases, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. 
     Formulations for parenteral administration can also include glycocholate for buccal administration, methoxysalicylate for rectal administration, or citric acid for vaginal administration. The parenteral preparation can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic. Suppositories for rectal administration also can be prepared by mixing the drug with a non-irritating excipient such as cocoa butter, other glycerides, or other compositions which are solid at room temperature and liquid at body temperatures. Formulations also can include, for example, polyalkylene glycols such as polyethylene glycol, oils of vegetable origin, and hydrogenated naphthalenes. Formulations for direct administration can include glycerol and other compositions of high viscosity. Other potentially useful parenteral carriers for these drugs include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer particles, osmotic pumps, implantable infusion systems, and liposomes. Formulations for inhalation administration can contain as excipients, for example, lactose, or can be aqueous solutions containing, for example, polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether, glycocholate and deoxycholate, or oily solutions for administration in the form of nasal drops, or as a gel to be applied intranasally. Retention enemas also can be used for rectal delivery. 
     Formulations of the present disclosure suitable for oral administration can be in the form of: discrete units such as capsules, gelatin capsules, sachets, tablets, troches, or lozenges, each containing a predetermined amount of the drug; a powder or granular composition; a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or non-aqueous liquid; or an oil-in-water emulsion or a water-in-oil emulsion. The drug can also be administered in the form of a bolus, electuary or paste. A tablet can be made by compressing or molding the drug optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing, in a suitable machine, the drug in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed by a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, surface active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets can be made by molding, in a suitable machine, a mixture of the powdered drug and suitable carrier moistened with an inert liquid diluent. 
     Oral compositions generally include an inert diluent or an edible carrier. For the purpose of oral therapeutic administration, the active compound can be incorporated with excipients. Oral compositions prepared using a fluid carrier for use as a mouthwash include the compound in the fluid carrier and are applied orally and swished and expectorated or swallowed. Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents, and/or adjuvant materials can be included as part of the composition. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like can contain any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose; a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring. 
     Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersion. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor ELTM (BASF, Parsippany, N.J.) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). It should be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and should be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, and sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. 
     Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filter sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle which contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, methods of preparation include vacuum drying and freeze-drying which yields a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. 
     Formulations suitable for intra-articular administration can be in the form of a sterile aqueous preparation of the drug that can be in microcrystalline form, for example, in the form of an aqueous microcrystalline suspension. Liposomal formulations or biodegradable polymer systems can also be used to present the drug for both intra-articular and ophthalmic administration. 
     Formulations suitable for topical administration, including eye treatment, include liquid or semi-liquid preparations such as liniments, lotions, gels, applicants, oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions such as creams, ointments or pastes; or solutions or suspensions such as drops. Formulations for topical administration to the skin surface can be prepared by dispersing the drug with a dermatologically acceptable carrier such as a lotion, cream, ointment or soap. Useful are carriers capable of forming a film or layer over the skin to localize application and inhibit removal. For topical administration to internal tissue surfaces, the agent can be dispersed in a liquid tissue adhesive or other substance known to enhance adsorption to a tissue surface. For example, hydroxypropylcellulose or fibrinogen/thrombin solutions can be used to advantage. Alternatively, tissue-coating solutions, such as pectin-containing formulations can be used. 
     For inhalation treatments, inhalation of powder (self-propelling or spray formulations) dispensed with a spray can, a nebulizer, or an atomizer can be used. Such formulations can be in the form of a fine powder for pulmonary administration from a powder inhalation device or self-propelling powder-dispensing formulations. In the case of self-propelling solution and spray formulations, the effect can be achieved either by choice of a valve having the desired spray characteristics (i.e., being capable of producing a spray having the desired particle size) or by incorporating the active ingredient as a suspended powder in controlled particle size. For administration by inhalation, the compounds also can be delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from pressured container or dispenser which contains a suitable propellant, e.g., a gas such as carbon dioxide, or a nebulizer. 
     Systemic administration also can be by transmucosal or transdermal means. For transmucosal or transdermal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants can include, for example, for transmucosal administration, detergents and bile salts. Transmucosal administration can be accomplished through the use of nasal sprays or suppositories. For transdermal administration, the active compounds typically are formulated into ointments, salves, gels, or creams. 
     The active compounds can be prepared with carriers that will protect the compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Liposomal suspensions can also be used as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. 
     Oral or parenteral compositions can be formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subject to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms of the disclosure are dictated by and directly dependent on the unique characteristics of the active compound and the therapeutic effect to be achieved, and the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active compound for the treatment of individuals. Furthermore, administration can be by periodic injections of a bolus, or can be made more continuous by intravenous, intramuscular or intraperitoneal administration from an external reservoir (e.g., an intravenous bag). 
     Where adhesion to a tissue surface is desired the composition can include the drug dispersed in a fibrinogen-thrombin composition or other bioadhesive. The compound then can be painted, sprayed or otherwise applied to the desired tissue surface. Alternatively, the drugs can be formulated for parenteral or oral administration to humans or other mammals, for example, in effective amounts, e.g., amounts that provide appropriate concentrations of the drug to target tissue for a time sufficient to induce the desired effect. 
     Where the active compound is to be used as part of a transplant procedure, it can be provided to the living tissue or organ to be transplanted prior to removal of tissue or organ from the donor. The compound can be provided to the donor host. Alternatively, or, in addition, once removed from the donor, the organ or living tissue can be placed in a preservation solution containing the active compound. In all cases, the active compound can be administered directly to the desired tissue, as by injection to the tissue, or it can be provided systemically, either by oral or parenteral administration, using any of the methods and formulations disclosed herein. Where the drug comprises part of a tissue or organ preservation solution, any commercially available preservation solution can be used to advantage. For example, useful solutions known in the art include Collins solution, Wisconsin solution, Belzer solution, Eurocollins solution and lactated Ringer&#39;s solution. 
     Generally, an effective amount of dosage of active compound will be in the range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight/day, for example, from about 1.0 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight/day. In some embodiments, the dosage of active compound is in the range of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 1.0 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 1.0 mg/kg to about 5.0 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 1.0 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 1.0 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 1.0 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 1.0 mg/kg to about 40 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 1.0 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 10 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 25 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 50 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 5.0 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight/day; from about 10 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight/day; or from about 25 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg of body weight/day. 
     The amount administered will also likely depend on such variables as the type of surgery or invasive medical procedure, the overall health status of the patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compound delivered, the formulation of the drug, the presence and types of excipients in the formulation, and the route of administration. Also, it is to be understood that the initial dosage administered can be increased beyond the above upper level in order to rapidly achieve the desired blood-level or tissue level, or the initial dosage can be smaller than the optimum. 
     Nonlimiting doses of active compound comprise from about 0.1 mg to about 1500 mg per dose. For example, a dose of active compound can range from about 0.1 mg to about 1250 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 1000 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 800 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 500 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 250 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 50 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 25 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 20 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 10 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 5 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 1 mg; about 0.1 mg to about 0.5 mg; about 0.5 mg to about 1500 mg; about 1 mg to about 1500 mg; about 2.5 mg to about 1500 mg; about 5 mg to about 1500 mg; about 10 mg to about 1500 mg; about 50 mg to about 1500 mg; about 100 mg to about 1500 mg; about 250 mg to about 1500 mg; about 500 mg to about 1500 mg; about 750 mg to about 1500 mg; about 1000 mg to about 1500 mg; about 1250 mg to about 1500 mg; about 0.25 mg to about 2.5 mg; about 0.5 mg to about 5 mg; about 1 mg to about 10 mg; about 5 to about 20 mg; about 10 mg to about 50 mg; about 25 mg to about 75 mg; about 20 mg to about 100 mg; about 50 mg to about 200 mg; about 100 mg to about 500 mg; about 250 mg to about 750 mg; about 200 mg to about 800 mg; about 500 mg to about 1000 mg; or about 750 mg to about 1250 mg. 
     As is understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, generally, when dosages are described for a pharmaceutical active, the dosage is given on the basis of the parent or active moiety. Therefore, if a salt, hydrate, or another form of the parent or active moiety is used, a corresponding adjustment in the weight of the compound is made, although the dose is still referred to on the basis of the parent or active moiety delivered. As a nonlimiting example, if the parent or active moiety of interest is a monocarboxylic acid having a molecular weight of 250, and if the monosodium salt of the acid is desired to be delivered to be delivered at the same dosage, then an adjustment is made recognizing that the monosodium salt would have a molecular weight of approximately 272 (i.e., minus 1H or 1.008 atomic mass units and plus 1 Na or 22.99 atomic mass units). Therefore, a 250 mg dosage of the parent or active compound would correspond to about 272 mg of the monosodium salt, which would also deliver 250 mg of the parent or active compound. The another way, about 272 mg of the monosodium salt would be equivalent to a 250 mg dosage of the parent or active compound. 
     In some embodiments, pyrrolocytosines, such as the compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers, as provided herein, can exhibit an acute clinical syndrome, which manifests as a C max -driven hemodynamic effect and is associated with immediate clinical signs such as labored breathing. C max  is the peak concentration a molecule reaches in the plasma (e.g., directly following intravenous administration), and is expressed generally in micrograms/milliliter. The syndrome is dose-dependent, meaning that the higher the amount of drug given, the more severe are the effects. In some embodiments, this is the limiting toxicity for the class. In some embodiments, however, the efficacy for the pyrrolocytosines, including the compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers, as provided herein, is not driven by the C max  but rather by the AUC (Area-Under-the-plasma-drug-concentration-time-Curve), which is an expression of the total body exposure to the drug and is expressed generally in micrograms*hour/milliliter. In rat studies with several pyrrolocytosines, including selected compounds or tautomers thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or tautomers as provided herein, it has been shown that increasing the length, or duration, of the intravenous administration results in one or more of effectively modulating or eliminating the clinical syndrome and depressing the concentration maximum. In some embodiments, these effects result in a short distribution half-life but still afford drug exposures necessary for efficacy.

The mixture was stirred under argon until all solids were dissolved, and then Cs 2 CO 3  (176.1 g, 540.5 mmol) was added in several portions. The mixture was stirred and heated to gentle reflux (42-43° C.). After 16 h it was cooled to 0-5° C., and water (500 mL) was slowly added at 15° C. The mixture was stirred at 15-20° C. for 10 min, the phases were separated, and the organic phase was washed with water (250 mL). Afterwards, the organic layer was concentrated in vacuo to about 250 g, additional anhydrous CH 2 Cl 2  (300 mL) was added, the solution was concentrated to a constant mass, then dried at room temperature to give sulfinylimine 2a as a pale yellow oil (156.4 g, 99%).

     To a solution of sulfinylimine 2a (85.87 g, 297.9 mmol) in DMF (450 mL) at 35° C. was added lithium chloride (25.3 g, 595.8 mmol) over 2 min. Afterwards, the mixture was cooled to 25° C. and H 2 O (4.56 g, 0.85 mol equivalent) was added. The mixture was stirred at 20-25° C. for 5 min, and then freshly activated zinc powder (38.95 g; 595.8 mmol) was added. Immediately afterwards, allyl bromide (72.1 g; 595.8 mmol) was added dropwise to the mixture over 10 min at 55° C. The temperature was maintained at 45-60° C. for the next 20 minutes.

     45.03 g (80.34 mmol) of crude 10a was dissolved in dry DMF (250 ml). To the solution was added benzoic anhydride (20.9 g, 92.5 mmol) in portions (alternatively, it can be added as a solution in anhydrous DMF). The resulting solution was heated at ˜50-55° C. in an oil bath under argon for 20 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, water and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution was added, then the mixture was stirred for 15 min. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc, then the organic layer was concentrated and purified using Combiflash to afford 30.69 g (58%) of 11a and 12.45 g (17%) of 12a as a foam.

     Example 6—Antimicrobial Activity 
     The compounds of the present disclosure were tested for antimicrobial activity. These data are presented in Table 2. The Compounds 1-122 were run against  Eschericia coli  ( E. coli ) strain ATCC25922 and against  Staphylococcus aureus  ( S. aureus ) 11540 strain using a standard microdilution assay to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). The data is presented whereby a “+” indicates that the compound has an MIC value of 16 micrograms/mL or less and a “−” indicates that the compound has an MIC value greater than 16 micrograms/mL. It will be recognized by one skilled in the art that the compounds can be assessed against other bacterial organisms and that the presentation of data for activity against  Eschericia coli  and  Staphylococcus aureus  are illustrative and in no way is intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. The compounds of the present disclosure can be assayed against a range of other microorganisms depending upon the performance activity desired to be gathered. Furthermore, the “+” and “−” representation and the selection of a cutoff value of 16 micrograms/mL is also illustrative and in no way is intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. For example, a “−” is not meant to indicate that the compound necessarily lacks activity or utility, but rather that its MIC value against the indicated microorganism is greater than 16 micrograms/mL.

     Example 7—Rat Infusion Study 
     Many pyrrolocytosines, including Compound No. 34, share an acute clinical syndrome, which manifests in as a C max -driven hemodynamic effect and is associated with immediate clinical signs such as labored breathing. C max  is the peak concentration a molecule reaches in the plasma, in this case directly following intravenous administration, and is expressed generally in micrograms/milliliter. The syndrome is dose-dependent, meaning that the higher the amount of drug given, the more severe the effects. This is generally considered the limiting toxicity for the effected compounds of this class. Importantly, the efficacy for the pyrrolocytosines, including Compound No. 34, is not driven by the Cmax but rather by the AUC (Area-Under-the-plasma-drug-concentration-time-Curve), which is an expression of the total body exposure to the drug and is expressed generally in micrograms*hour/mililiter. In rat studies with several pyrrolocytosines, including Compound No. 34, it has been shown that increasing the length, or duration, of the intravenous administration effectively modulates or eliminates the clinical syndrome, depresses the concentration maximum, results in a short distribution half-life but still affords drug exposures necessary for efficacy. 
     As an example, a study conducted by PharmOptima under study number 2017-164 with Compound No. 34, compared the clinical signs and plasma drug concentration data across several infusion lengths: 10-minutes, which is the screening length at which the acute syndrome is observed, 1-hour, 2-hour, 3-hour and 24-hour. A total of 15 male Sprague-Dawley rats (275-300 grams) were used in the study, divided evenly across the 5 dosing regimens. The route of drug administration was via jugular venous infusion, using a syringe infusion pump. Compound No. 34 was formulated in phosphate-buffered mannitol, with a starting pH=6.5. Details of the infusions and the plasma sample timepoints are given in Table 3.

     Table 4 shows the results. In the short 10-minute infusion, all three rats displayed signs of significant labored breathing/the 1 h, 2 h and 3 h infusion groups only showed minor signs of chewing and licking, and the 24 h infusion group showed no clinical signs. There was a clear decrease in C max  as infusion length was increased. The intermediate dosing groups still achieved significant AUC, or drug exposures for efficacy, and particularly with the 3 h infusion itis clear that the dose can be increased to move the AUC higher while not approaching the C max  associated with the severe end of the acute tolerability. The 24 h infusion is particularly compelling. It indicates the concentration can be titrated to achieve steady-state drug levels for efficacy while remaining well below the C max  associated with clinical signs. Furthermore, the alpha, or distribution-phase half-life is short, which indicates that—if clinical signs are observed—the infusion can be stopped and the plasma levels drop quickly. In the end, this translates into a generous therapeutic window.
