The present invention relates to organic compounds useful for the treatment and/or prevention of bacterial infections in a mammal. Specifically these molecules can inhibit the LPS synthesis pathway, in particular to inhibit LpxH, and are useful for treating bacterial infections. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The intensive use of antibiotics has exerted a selective evolutionary pressure on microorganisms to produce genetically based resistance mechanisms. Modern medicine and socio-economic behaviour exacerbate the problem of resistance development by creating slow growth situations for pathogenic microbes, e.g. in artificial joints, and by supporting long-term host reservoirs, e.g. in immune-compromised patients. In hospital settings, an increasing number of strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus spp., Enterobacteriaceae such as Klebsiella pneumonia, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, major sources of infections, are becoming multi-drug resistant and therefore difficult to treat. This is particularly the case for Gram-negative organisms where the situation is getting worrisome since no novel agents with a differentiated mechanism of action have been approved for decades. Therefore, there is an important medical need for new antibacterial compounds addressing Gram-negative resistant bacteria, in particular third generation cephalosporins- and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and multi-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. One way to tackle the problem of cross-resistance to established classes of antibiotics is to inhibit an essential protein or function not targeted by current antibiotics.

Gram-negative bacteria are unique in that their outer membrane contains Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is crucial for maintaining membrane integrity, and is essential for bacterial viability (reviewed in Ann. Rev. Biochem 76: 295-329, 2007). The major lipid component of LPS is Lipid A, and inhibition of Lipid A biosynthesis is lethal to bacteria. Lipid A is synthesized on the cytoplasmic surface of the bacterial inner membrane via a pathway that consists of nine different enzymes. These enzymes are highly conserved in most Gram-negative bacteria. LpxH, a calcineurin-like phosphatase (CLP), catalyzes the hydrolysis of UDP-2,3- diacyl-glucosamine (UDP-DAGn) to yield Lipid X and UMP (22, 24, 25). LpxH has no mammalian homologue, making it a good target for the development of novel antibiotics targeting Gram-negative bacteria.

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND ADMINISTRATION

Another embodiment provides pharmaceutical compositions or medicaments containing the compounds of the invention and a therapeutically inert carrier, diluent or excipient, as well as methods of using the compounds of the invention to prepare such compositions and medicaments. In one example, compounds of formula (I) may be formulated by mixing at ambient temperature at the appropriate pH, and at the desired degree of purity, with physiologically acceptable carriers, i.e., carriers that are non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed into a galenical administration form. The pH of the formulation depends mainly on the particular use and the concentration of compound, but preferably ranges anywhere from about 3 to about 8. In one example, a compound of formula (I) is formulated in an acetate buffer, at pH 5. In another embodiment, the compounds of formula (I) are sterile. The compound may be stored, for example, as a solid or amorphous composition, as a lyophilized formulation or as an aqueous solution.

Compositions are formulated, dosed, and administered in a fashion consistent with good medical practice. Factors for consideration in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of the individual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the agent, the method of administration, the scheduling of administration, and other factors known to medical practitioners. The “effective amount” of the compound to be administered will be governed by such considerations, and is the minimum amount necessary to reduced bacterial load or improve host survival through the inhibition of Lipid A biosynthesis by targeting LpxH enzyme. For example, such amount may be below the amount that is toxic to normal cells, or the mammal as a whole.

In one example, the pharmaceutically effective amount of the compound of the invention administered parenterally per dose will be in the range of about 0.1 to 1000 mg/kg, alternatively about 1 to 100 mg/kg of patient body weight per day, with the typical initial range of compound used being 0.3 to 15 mg/kg/day. In another embodiment, oral unit dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules, preferably contain from about 5 to about 5000 mg of the compound of the invention.

The compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable means, including oral, topical (including buccal and sublingual), rectal, vaginal, transdermal, parenteral, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intrapulmonary, intradermal, intrathecal and epidural and intranasal, and, if desired for local treatment, intralesional administration. Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration.

The compounds of the present invention may be administered in any convenient administrative form, e.g., tablets, powders, capsules, solutions, dispersions, suspensions, syrups, sprays, suppositories, gels, emulsions, patches, etc. Such compositions may contain components conventional in pharmaceutical preparations, e.g., diluents, carriers, pH modifiers, sweeteners, bulking agents, and further active agents.

A typical formulation is prepared by mixing a compound of the present invention and a carrier or excipient. Suitable carriers and excipients are well known to those skilled in the art and are described in detail in, e.g., Ansel, Howard C., et al., Ansel’s Pharmaceutical Dosage

Forms and Delivery Systems Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2004;

Gennaro, Alfonso R., et al. Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy. Philadelphia:

Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2000; and Rowe, Raymond C. Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients. Chicago, Pharmaceutical Press, 2005. The formulations may also include one or more buffers, stabilizing agents, surfactants, wetting agents, lubricating agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, preservatives, antioxidants, opaquing agents, glidants, processing aids, colorants, sweeteners, perfuming agents, flavoring agents, diluents and other known additives to provide an elegant presentation of the drug (i.e., a compound of the present invention or pharmaceutical composition thereof) or aid in the manufacturing of the pharmaceutical product (i.e., medicament).

An example of a suitable oral dosage form is a tablet containing about 10 to 500 mg of the compound of the invention compounded with about 40 to 400mg anhydrous lactose, about 5 to 50 mg sodium croscarmellose, about 5 to 50 mg polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K30, and about 1 to 10 mg magnesium stearate. The powdered ingredients are first mixed together and then mixed with a solution of the PVP. The resulting composition can be dried, granulated, mixed with the magnesium stearate and compressed to tablet form using conventional equipment. An example of an aerosol formulation can be prepared by dissolving the compound, for example 5 to 1000 mg) of the invention in a suitable buffer solution, e.g. a phosphate buffer, adding a tonicifier, e.g. a salt such sodium chloride, if desired. The solution may be filtered, e.g., using a 0.2 micron filter, to remove impurities and contaminants.

An embodiment, therefore, includes a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I), or a stereoisomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In a further embodiment includes a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I), or a stereoisomer or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.

INDICATIONS AND METHODS OF TREATMENT

The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of the LpxH enzyme, a key enzyme of the LPS synthesis pathway that is essential in most gram-negative bacteria. Accordingly, the compounds of the invention can prevent bacterial growth of susceptible organisms and are useful for: preventing or treating a bacterial infection, preferably a Gram-negative bacterial infection (all claimed) e.g. nosocomial pneumonia, urinary tract infections, systemic infections (bacteraemia and sepsis), skin and soft tissue infections, surgical infections, eye infections, intraabdominal infections, lung infections and diabetic foot infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria e.g. third generation cephalosporins- and carbapenem- resistant Enterobacteriaeceae (e.g. Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coll) and multi-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii or Acinetobacter spp., e.g. Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Elaemophilus influenzae, Elelicobacter pylorus e.g. Bacteroides spp. e.g. Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides distasonis, Campylobacter jejuni, Campylobacter fetus or Campylobacter coil, Francisella tularensis and Providencia spp. e.g. Providencia stuartii, Providencia rettgeri or Providencia alcalifaciens and Pseudomonas spp.', and for cleaning purposes e.g. to remove pathogenic microbes and bacteria from surgical instruments, catheters and artificial implants or to make a room or an area aseptic.

The products of the invention can be administered, for example, parenterally e.g. by injection, or administered orally, perorally, such as in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatin capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, or rectally, such as in the form of suppositories. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds can be prepared using conventional procedures familiar to those skilled in the art, such as by combining the ingredients into a dosage form together with suitable, non-toxic, inert, therapeutically compatible solid or liquid carrier materials and, if desired, the usual pharmaceutical adjuvants. It is contemplated that the compounds are ultimately embodied into compositions of suitable oral, parenteral or topical dosage forms. The compositions of this invention can contain, as optional ingredients, any of the various adjuvants, which are used ordinarily in the production of pharmaceutical preparations. Thus, for example, in formulating the present compositions into the desired oral dosage forms, one may use, as optional ingredients, fillers, such as co -precipitated aluminum hydroxide-calcium carbonate, di-calcium phosphate or lactose; disintegrating agents such as maize starch; and lubricating agents, such as talc, calcium stearate, and the like. It should be fully understood, however, that the optional ingredients herein named are given by way of example only and that the invention is not restricted to the use hereof. Other such adjuvants, which are well known in the art, can be employed in carrying out this invention. Suitable as such carrier materials are not only inorganic, but also organic carrier materials. Thus, for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatin capsules there can be used, for example, lactose, maize starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts. Suitable carriers for soft gelatin capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats and semi-solid and liquid polyols (depending on the nature of the active substance; no carriers are, however, required in the case of soft gelatin capsules). Suitable carrier materials for the preparation of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, saccharose, invert sugar and glucose. Suitable carrier materials for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats and semi-liquid or liquid polyols. As pharmaceutical adjuvants there are contemplated the usual preservatives, solubilizers, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorings, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, coating agents and antioxidants.

Compound of formula (VIII) could be obtained from a sulfonating reaction between halogenated phenyl sulfonyl chlorides (VII) and compound of formula (VI). The formation of compound (IX) can be achieved by treating compound of formula (VIII) with a suitable acid, such as HC1, or a base, such as K2CO3. .

Scheme 2:

VIII wherein PG ² is a protecting group, such as acetyl group. Alternatively, compound of formula (VIII) can also be prepared in the process illustrated in the scheme 2. Compound of formula (XI) can be obtained by coupling reaction between compound of formula (VI) and compound of formula (X) in the presence of catalyst such as CuO. Oxidation of compound of formula (XI) will give compound of formula (VIII) in the presence of suitable oxidant reagent, such as PIDA. Scheme 3: wherein R ^a is halogen or OH; R ^b is C1-6alkyl, such as methyl or ethyl, R ¹¹ is pyrazolylene, phenylene or aminoC1-6alkylaminoC1-6alkylene. The compound of formula (la) can be prepared by coupling reaction between compound of formula (IX) and compound of formula (XII) in the presence of condensation reagent such as TCFH or acylation reaction in the presence of base such as TEA.

The compound of formula (lb) can be prepared by starting with coupling reaction or acylation reaction between compound of formula (IX) and compound of formula (XIII) to afford compound of formula (XIV). Hydrolysis of compound of formula (XIV) in the presence a suitable base, such as LiOH, affords compound of formula of (lb).

Scheme 4:

Compound of formula (XV) can be obtained from a nucleophilic substitution reaction between compound of formula (III) and compound of formula (VII) in the presence a suitable base such as DIPEA or TEA. Deprotection of compound of formula (XV) affords compound of formula (XVI) in the presence a suitable acid, such as HC1, or base, such as K2CO3. Compound of formula (XVII) can be obtained by acylation reaction between compound of formula (XVI) and compound of formula (XII) in the presence a suitable base such as TEA. In some cases, compound of formula (XVII) needs to be further protected by another PG ¹ . Deprotection of compound of formula (XVII) affords compound of formula (XVIII) using a suitable acid such as TFA or reduction reagents such as palladium on carbon under H2 atmosphere. The nucleophilic substitution between compound of formula (II) and compound of formula (XVIII) in the presence of suitable base such as CS2CO3 affords compound of formula (la).

Compound F-1, disclosed in the literature (Bioorganic Chemistry 102 (2020) 104055) and reported having LPS synthesis pathway inhibition activity and displaying antibiotic activity against efflux-deficient E. coli strains, was chosen as reference compound in present invention. Compound F-1 BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES Example 089: Minimal Inhibitory Concentration Protocol (MIC) Assay: The antibacterial activity of the compounds of the present invention was evaluated against the commonly used quality control strain Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and the rifampin- resistant mutant strain Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 43816. Both were originally derived from human clinical samples and are available from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection). The in vitro potency of compounds to inhibit Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Klebsiella pneumonia (ATCC 43816) growth was assessed by the MIC (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) broth dilution method. Specifically compound dilutions were prepared from 10 mM DMSO stock solutions as follows: i) serial 2-fold dilution in 20 µL DMSO were prepared in a master plate (Greiner, Cat No: 651201), ii) 180 µL sterile distilled water was added to each aliquot and iii) 10 µL diluted compounds were transferred into a new assay plate (Costar, 3599). Vials of each test microorganisms were maintained frozen in the vapor phase of a liquid nitrogen freezer. Single-use frozen vials of the two strains Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 (KWIKSTIK, 0335K) and Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 43816, with predetermined CFU/mL, were taken out from the freezer, thawed at room temperature, and diluted in Cation-Adjusted Mueller Hinton Broth (CAMHB) to achieve a final inoculum of 5 × 10 ⁵ CFU/ mL. 90 µL bacteria containing broth was dispensed to the assay plate containing the pre-dispensed compound dilutions and mixed by pipetting 5 times. Then the assay plates were incubated for 20 hours at 35 °C in ambient air. Following incubation, the MIC (µg/mL), the lowest concentration of drug that inhibits visible growth of the microorganism was read with the help of a magnification mirror and recorded. Table 1: MIC values of the compounds of this invention against E. coli and K. pneumonia Example 090: Human microsome stability assay The human microsomal stability assay is used for early assessment of metabolic stability of a test compound in human liver microsomes. Human liver microsomes (Cat.NO.: 452117, Corning, USA) were pre-incubated with test compound for 10 minutes at 37°C in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. The reactions were initiated by adding NADPH regenerating system. The final incubation mixtures contained 1 μM test compound, 0.5 mg/mL liver microsomal protein, 1 mM MgCl2, 1 mM NADP, 1 unit/mL isocitric dehydrogenase and 6 mM isocitric acid in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. After incubation times of 0, 3, 6, 9, 15 and 30 minutes at 37°C, 300 μL of cold acetonitrile (including internal standard) was added to 100 μL incubation mixture to terminate the reaction. Following precipitation and centrifugation, the amount of compound remaining in the samples were determined by LC-MS/MS. Controls of no NADPH regenerating system at zero and 30 minutes were also prepared and analyzed. The compounds of present invention showed good human liver microsome stability determined in the above assay, results are shown in Table 2 below.
