Abstract
6-O-Carbamoyl ketolide antibacterials of the formula:
1
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of macrolide compounds having antibacterial activity, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, and methods of treating bacterial infections with the compounds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Erythromycins are well-known antibacterial agents widely used to treat and prevent bacterial infection caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. However, due to their low stability in acidic environment, they often carry side effects such as poor and erratic oral absorption. As with other antibacterial agents, bacterial strains having resistance or insufficient susceptibility to erythromycin have developed over time and are identified in patients suffering from such ailments as community-acquired pneumonia, upper and lower respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, meningitis, hospital-acquired lung infections, and bone and joint infections. Particularly problematic pathogens include methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and penicillin- and macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. Therefore, continuing efforts are called for to identify new erythromycin derivative compounds with improved antibacterial activity, and/or unanticipated selectivity against various target microorganisms, particularly erythromycin-resistant strains.

[0036] Designated numbers of carbon atoms (e.g., C1-8) shall refer independently to the number of carbon atoms in an alkyl or cycloalkyl moiety or to the alkyl portion of a larger substituent in which alkyl appears as its prefix root.
[0037] Unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the definition of any substituent or variable at a particular location in a molecule be independent of its definitions elsewhere in that molecule. It is understood that substituents and substitution patterns on the compounds of this invention can be selected by one of ordinary skill in the art to provide compounds that are chemically stable and that can be readily synthesized by techniques known in the art as well as those methods set forth herein.
[0038] The term “hydroxy protecting group” refers to groups known in the art for such purpose. Commonly used hydroxy protecting groups are disclosed, for example, in T. H. Greene and P. G. M.

[0039] Where the compounds according to this invention have at least one stereogenic center, they may accordingly exist as enantiomers. Where the compounds possess two or more stereogenic centers, they may additionally exist as diastereomers. Furthermore, some of the crystalline forms for the compounds may exist as polymorphs and as such are intended to be included in the present invention. In addition, some of the compounds may form solvates with water (i.e., hydrates) or common organic solvents, and such solvates are also intended to be encompassed within the scope of this invention.
[0040] Some of the compounds of the present invention may have trans and cis isomers. In addition, where the processes for the preparation of the compounds according to the invention give rise to mixture of stereoisomers, these isomers may be separated by conventional techniques such as preparative chromatography. The compounds may be prepared as a single stereoisomer or in racemic form as a mixture of some possible stereoisomers. The non-racemic forms may be obtained by either synthesis or resolution. The compounds may, for example, be resolved into their components enantiomers by standard techniques, such as the formation of diastereomeric pairs by salt formation. The compounds may also be resolved by covalent linkage to a chiral auxiliary, followed by chromatographic separation and/or crystallographic separation, and removal of the chiral auxiliary. Alternatively, the compounds may be resolved using chiral chromatography.
[0041] The phrase “a pharmaceutically acceptable salt” denotes one or more salts of the free base which possess the desired pharmacological activity of the free base and which are neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable. These salts may be derived from inorganic or organic acids. Examples of inorganic acids are hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, or phosphoric acid.

The present invention also includes within its scope prodrugs of the compounds of this invention. In general, such prodrugs will be functional derivatives of the compounds which are readily convertible in vivo into the required compound. Thus, in the methods of treatment of the present invention, the term “administering” shall encompass the treatment of the various disorders described with the compound specifically disclosed or with a compound which may not be specifically disclosed, but which converts to the specified compound in vivo after administration to the patient. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in “Design of Prodrugs”, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.
[0043] The term “subject” includes, without limitation, any animal or artificially modified animal. As a particular embodiment, the subject is a human.
[0044] The term “drug-resistant” or “drug-resistance” refers to the characteristics of a microbe to survive in presence of a currently available antimicrobial agent such as an antibiotic at its routine, effective concentration.
[0045] The compounds described in the present invention possess antibacterial activity due to their novel structure, and are useful as antibacterial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections in humans and animals.

[0061] Carbamic acid, [(2E)-3-(4-pyrazinylphenyl)-2-propenyl]-, (3aS,4R,7R,9R,10R,11,13R,15R,15aR)-4-ethyltetradecahydro-3a,7,9,11,13,15-hexamethyl-2,6,8,14-tetraoxo-10-[[3,4,6-trideoxy-3-(dimethylamino)-β-D-xylo-hexopyranosyl]oxy]-2H-oxacyclotetradecino[4,3-d]oxazol-11-yl ester; and
[0062] Carbamic acid, [3-[4-(2-pyrimidinyl)phenyl]propyl]-, (3aS,4R,7R,9R, 10R, 11R, 13R, 15R, 15aR)-4-ethyltetradecahydro-3a,7,9,11,13,15-hexamethyl-2,6,8,14-tetraoxo-10-[[3,4,6-trideoxy-3-(dimethylamino)-β-D-xylo-hexopyranosyl]oxy]-2H-oxacyclotetradecino[4,3-d]oxazol-11-yl ester.
[0063] This invention also provides processes for preparing the instant compounds. The compounds of Formula I may be prepared from readily available starting materials such as erythromycin and erythromycin derivatives well known in the art. Outlined in Schemes 1 through 11 are representative procedures to prepare the compounds of the instant invention:
7
[0064] Scheme 1 illustrates the method of synthesis of the 2′,4″-diacetyl-6-carbamyl-11,12-dideoxy-11,12-iminocarbonyloxyerythromycin A (VI) and the 2′-acetyl-6-carbamyl-11,12-dideoxy-3-O-descladinosyl-11,12-iminocarbonyloxyerythromycin A (1a) precursors to the compounds of the invention.
[0065] Erythromycin A is treated with acetic anhydride in the presence of a tertiary amine base, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, or pyridine, and an acylation catalyst, such as DMAP, in a suitable solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform or THF at a temperature ranging from −200° C. to 37° C. for 2 to 48 hours to afford 2′,4″,11-triacetylerythromycin A (I). The 10,11-anhydro derivative (II) can be readily obtained by treatment of I with a base in an inert solvent such as THF, dioxane, DME, or DMF at a temperature ranging from −78° C. to 80° C. for 1-24 hours. Suitable bases to effect the elimination reaction include, but are not limited to, sodium hexamethyldisilazide, potassium hexamethyldisilazide, LDA, lithium tetramethylpiperidide, DBU, and tetramethylguanidine. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that alternative methods for synthesis of 2′,4″-diacetyl-10,11-anhydroerythromycin A are available, including conversion of erythromycin A to the 11,12-cyclic carbonate derivative with ethylene carbonate, followed by elimination with tetramethylguanidine, as described in Hauske, J. R. and Kostek, G., J. Org. Chem. 1982, 47,1595. Selective protection of the 2′ and 4″-hydroxyl groups can then be readily accomplished with acetic anhydride in the presence of a tertiary amine base. Likewise, alternative protecting group strategies may be employed. For example, erythromycin A may be treated with benzoic anhydride, propionic anhydride, or formic acetic anhydride under similar conditions as described above to obtain the 2′,4″,11-triacylated erythromycin A derivative followed by elimination to afford the corresponding 10,11 -anhydro compound.
[0066] Once the suitably protected 10,11-anhydro derivative is obtained, derivatization of both tertiary hydroxyl groups can be carried out by treatment with trichloroacetylisocyanate in an inert solvent, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, or THF at a temperature ranging from −20° C. to 37° C. for 1-24 hours to yield the di-(N-trichloroacetyl)carbamate derivative (III). The N-trichloroacetylcarbamate functionalities can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding primary carbamates by treatment with a suitable base, such as triethylamine, in an aqueous solvent mixture, such as methanol/water for 1-24 hours at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 80° C. Alternative bases may likewise be used to effect this conversion, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. Under the reaction conditions, the primary carbamate formed at the 12-position undergoes spontaneous Michael addition to the electrophilic 11-position of the α,β-unsaturated ketone and the 2′-acetoxy group is hydrolyzed to the corresponding hydroxyl to afford the cyclic carbamate derivative (IV). Compound IV is generally isolated as a mixture of methyl epimers at the C10-position, which can be readily converted to the desired C10-β-methyl epimer (V) by treatment with an equilibrating base, such as potassium t-butoxide, tetramethylguanidine, or DBU in a suitable solvent, such as THF, dioxane, DME, DMF or t-butanol at a temperature ranging from −78° C. to 80° C. for 1 to 24 hours. Reprotection of the 2′-hydroxyl group to give VI can be carried out by treatment with acetic anhydride in the presence of a tertiary amine base, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, or pyridine, and optionally an acylation catalyst, such as DMAP, in a suitable solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform or THF at a temperature ranging from −20° C. to 37° C. for 2 to 48 hours. It is understood that an orthogonal protection strategy of the sugar hydroxyls may also be employed by treatment of V with alternate reagents such as benzoic anhydride, benzyl chloroformate, hexamethyldisilazane, or a trialkylsilyl chloride. Finally, selective removal of the cladinose sugar can be accomplished by reaction of VI with an acid, such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, chloroacetic, and trifluoroacetic, in the presence of alcohol and water to afford la. Reaction time is typically 0.5-24 hours at a temperature ranging from −10° C. to 370° C.

[0067] Scheme 2 depicts synthesis of compounds of formulae 1b, 1c and 1d, wherein RCHO is an aldehyde (R may be a member of the group including, but not limited to, hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocycle, arylalkenyl, arylalkynyl, aralkyl, heteroarylalkenyl, heteroarylalkynyl, heteroarylalkyl, heterocycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkynyl, and heterocycloalkyl). Oxidation of the 3-hydroxy group of 1a to yield compound 1b can be effected with DMSO and a carbodiimide, such as EDCI, in the presence of pyridinium trifluoroacetate in a suitable solvent, such as methylene chloride, for 1 to 24 hours at a temperature ranging from −20° C. to 37° C. Alternative methods of oxidation include N-chlorosuccinimide and dimethylsulfide complex followed by treatment with a tertiary amine base, Dess-Martin periodinane, or oxalyl chloride/DMSO followed by treatment with a tertiary amine base. Removal of the 2′-acetyl group of compound 1b is readily accomplished by transesterification with methanol for 2-48 hours at a temperature ranging from −20° C. to 60° C. to yield compound 1c. Alternative methods for deprotection of the 2′-acetyl group include hydrolysis in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide or alkali metal carbonate, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium carbonate, or ammonolysis with ammonia in methanol. Compounds of formula 1d can be obtained by selective alkylation of the primary carbamate of 1c with a suitably substituted aldehyde in the presence of a reducing agent and acid. Alternatively, the corresponding acetal may be used in place of the suitably substituted aldehyde in this reaction. Preferred reagents for effecting this transformation are triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid in a suitable solvent, like acetonitrile, methylene chloride, or toluene at −20° C. to 100° C. Typically, the reaction is conducted for from 2-96 hours depending on the reactivity of the aldehyde or acetal.

[0068] It will be clear to one skilled in the art that the order of the steps in the synthetic sequence leading to compounds of the invention can be altered, provided that the functionality present in the molecule is compatible with the desired selective transformations. This is illustrated in Scheme 3. For example, compound 1a can be treated under similar conditions as described above for the reductive alkylation of compound 1c (Scheme 2) to yield compounds of the formula 1e. Removal of the 2′-acetyl group of compound 1e as described for the conversion of compound 1b to compound 1c (Scheme 2) provides compounds of formula 1g. Alternatively, oxidation of the 3-hydroxyl of compound 1e to the ketone of compound 1f can be conducted as described for the analogous transformation of 1a to 1b in Scheme 2. Finally, deprotection of the 2′-acetyl group of 1f is readily effected as described for the conversion of compound 1b to compound 1c (Scheme 2) to provide the compounds of formula 1d, wherein R is as previously defined.
10
[0069] Scheme 4 illustrates an alternate route for the preparation of the compounds of the invention (1d). Reaction of compound VI with a suitably substituted aldehyde and a reducing agent, such as triethylsilane, in the presence of an acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid, in a suitable solvent, such as acetonitrile, methylene chloride, or toluene, at a temperature ranging from −20° C. to 100° C. for 2-96 hours leads to the simultaneous removal of the cladinose sugar and the selective alkylation of the primary carbamate to afford compound 1e. Alternatively, the corresponding acetal of the suitably substituted aldehyde may be used to effect this transformation. Conversion of compound 1e to compound 1f and compound 1f to compound 1d can be conducted as described above.
11
[0070] Scheme 5, wherein R4a is halogen and R is as described above, illustrates the procedures by which compounds of formula 1b can be converted to compounds of formula 1j.
[0071] Fluorination of compound 1b can be accomplished with any one of a number of fluorinating reagents, including N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide in the presence of base, 1-(chloromethyl)-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis[tetrafluoroborate] (SELECTFLUOR™) in the presence of base, 10% F2 in formic acid, 3,5-dichloro-1-fluoropyridinium tetrafluoroborate, 3,5-dichloro-1-fluoropyridinium triflate, (CF3SO2)2NF, N-fluoro-N-methyl-p-toluenesulfonamide in the presence of base, N-fluoropyridinium triflate, and N-fluoroperfluoropiperidine in the presence of base to give 1h wherein R4a is F. Chlorination of 1b can be effected with hexachloroethane in the presence of base, sulfuryl chloride, thionyl chloride, trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of base, chlorine, or sodium hypochlorite in the presence of acetic acid to give 1h wherein R4a is Cl. Suitable brominating agents would include pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide, bromine in acetic acid, N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of base, 1,2-dibromoethane in the presence of base, or carbon tetrabromide in the presence of base to give 1h wherein R4a is Br. Suitable iodinating agents include N-iodosuccinimide in the presence of base or iodine to give 1 h wherein R4a is 1.
[0072] Transformation of the halogenated derivatives 1h to the corresponding compounds of formula 1j can be accomplished through analogous synthetic routes as above. Reaction of 1h with a suitably substituted aldehyde or acetal in the presence of a reducing agent and acid yields compounds 1i. Reagent combinations for effecting this transformation include triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid in a suitable solvent, like acetonitrile, methylene chloride, or toluene at −20° C. to 100° C. Typically, the reaction is conducted for from 2-96 hours depending on the reactivity of the aldehyde or acetal. Compounds 1i are then converted to the corresponding compounds of formula 1j by reaction with methanol for 2-48 hours at a temperature ranging from −20° C. to 60° C.
[0073] It will be understood by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the halogenation reaction can also be conducted at a later stage in the synthetic sequence. For example, halogenation of compound 1f (Scheme 3) affords the corresponding 2-halo derivative, which likewise can be converted to compounds of the invention by deprotection of the 2′-acetyl group under the previously described conditions.
12
[0074] Schemes 6A and 6B illustrate the procedures by which compounds of the formula 1b can be converted to 2α- and 2β-fluoro derivatives of formulae 1n and 1q. Fluorination of compound 1b can be accomplished as described herein above. Reagent combinations for the conversion of compound 1b to the 2α-fluoro derivative 1k include SELECTFLUOR and sodium hexamethyldisilazide in DMF and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide and potassium t-butoxide in THF. Typically, the reaction is conducted at −78° C. to -60° C. for 5 minutes to 24 hours. Reagent combinations for the conversion of compound 1b to the 2β-fluoro derivative 1o include N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide and sodium hydride in DMF. Typically, this reaction is conducted at 0° C. to 20° C. for 1 to 24 hours.
[0075] Transformation of the fluorinated derivatives 1k and 1o to the corresponding compounds of the invention 1n and 1q, respectively, can be accomplished through analogous synthetic routes as above. Reaction of 1k or 1o with a suitably substituted aldehyde or acetal in the presence of a reducing agent and acid yields compounds 1m and 1p, respectively. Reagent combinations for effecting this transformation include triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid in a suitable solvent, like acetonitrile, methylene chloride, or toluene at −20° C. to 100° C. Typically, the reaction is conducted for from 2-96 hours depending on the reactivity of the aldehyde or acetal. Compounds 1m and 1p are then converted to the corresponding compounds of the invention 1n and 1q, respectively, by reaction with methanol for 2-48 hours at a temperature ranging from −20° C. to 60° C.
[0076] It will be also understood by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the fluorination reaction can also be conducted at a later stage in the synthetic sequence. For example, fluorination of compound 1f (Scheme 3) affords the corresponding 2-fluoro derivative, which likewise can be converted to compounds of the invention by deprotection of the 2′-acetyl group under the previously described conditions.
[0077] Other compounds of the invention may also be suitable substrates for further transformation to yield other compounds of the present invention. Some of these transformations are illustrated in Schemes 7- 11.
13
[0078] Scheme 7 illustrates the conversion of the 3-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-propenyl analog (1r) to the 3-[4-(4H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)phenyl]-2-propenyl analog (1t) via the intermediacy of the 3-(4-aminophenyl)-2-propenyl derivative (1s) wherein R4 is as described above. The selective reduction of the nitro group of 1r to the amine of 1s can be conducted with tin(II) chloride in ethanol at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 78° C., typically for 1 to 24 hours. Alternative methods for reduction of the nitro group can also be employed, including iron/hydrochloric acid, iron/acetic acid, tin/hydrochloric acid, zinc/ammonium chloride, or sodium borohydride/nickel chloride. Conversion of the amino group of 1s to the 1,2,4-triazole of 1t is effected by condensation of the amine with N,N-dimethylformamide azine dihydrochloride in the presence of a base, such as pyridine. Reaction time is typically 2 to 72 hours at a temperature ranging from −20° C. to 115° C.
14
[0079] Scheme 8 depicts the conversion of 3-(4-bromophenyl)-2-propenyl analog (1u) to the 3-(1,1′-biphen-4-yl)-2-propenyl analog (1v) wherein R4 is as described above. Reaction of the aryl bromide with an aryl boronic acid derivative to give the biaryl derivative is conducted under typical Suzuki coupling conditions, i.e., in the presence of a Pd0 catalyst, typically palladium tetrakistriphenylphosphine, and a base, typically sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium phosphate, or triethylamine in a suitable solvent, such as toluene, ethanol, methanol, DME, or THF. Reaction time is typically 2 to 48 hours at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 110° C. Aryl iodides and aryl triflates are also suitable substrates for this conversion.
15
[0080] Scheme 9 illustrates the conversion of a substituted N-propenylcarbamate derivative (1w) to the corresponding substituted N-propylcarbamate compound (1x), wherein R′ may be a member of the R group except alkenyl and alkynyl, and R and R4 is as described above. Typically, this transformation is conducted via catalytic transfer hydrogenation, in which the olefin is reacted with ammonium formate in the presence of a suitable catalyst, such as palladium on carbon, in a suitable solvent, such as methanol or ethanol, at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 60° C. for 15 minutes to 24 hours. Other methods for reduction of the double bond could also be applicable, for example treatment with hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst, such as palladium or platinum. It will be obvious to one skilled in the art that the analogous N-propynylcarbamate may likewise be reduced to the corresponding N-propylcarbamate under similar conditions.
16
[0081] Scheme 10 illustrates a method for conversion of a secondary carbamate derivative (1j) to a tertiary carbamate derivative (1y), wherein R″ is an independent member of the R group, and R and R4 are as described above, by reaction with an aldehyde and a suitable reducing agent, typically triethylsilane, in the presence of an acid, typically trifluoroacetic acid, in an appropriate solvent, such as acetonitrile, methylene chloride, or toluene. Reaction times are typically 2 to 96 hours at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 110° C. Alternative methods for effecting this conversion may also be contemplated, for example reaction of a suitably protected secondary carbamate precursor with an alkyl halide in the presence of a sufficiently strong base, such as sodium hydride, potassium hexamethyldisilazide, or LDA.
17
[0082] Scheme 11 illustrates the conversion of compounds 1d, wherein R is as previously defined, to compounds containing a 2-hydroxy substituent (1z). This transformation may be conducted by treatment of compound 1d with charcoal in the presence of air in a suitable solvent, such as methanol or ethanol. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art of organic synthesis that other methods may be employed to effect this conversion, including for example treatment of 1d with a base, such as potassium hexamethyldisilazide or LDA, and an oxidant, such as camphorsulfonyloxaziridine or MoOPh.
18
[0083] Scheme 12 illustrates the conversion of 1a′ to compounds of the invention 1b′, 1c′, 1d′, 1e′, 1f′, and 1g′ with a nitrogen-containing substituent on the carbamate in the 6-position, wherein R4 and Ra are as described above. Reaction of 1a′ with a protected aminoaldehyde derivative, such as N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)glycinal, in the presence of a suitable reducing agent, such as triethylsilane, and a suitable acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid affords the protected amine derivative (1b′). Typically this reaction is conducted in an appropriate solvent, such as acetonitrile, methylene chloride, or toluene, for 2 to 96 hours at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 110° C. Deprotection of 1b′ to afford the corresponding amine derivative (1c′) can be readily effected by procedures known in the art, such as catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a noble metal catalyst or catalytic transfer hydrogenation with palladium on carbon in the presence of cyclohexadiene or ammonium formate at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 60° C. Typically these reactions are conducted in an inert solvent such as methanol or ethanol. Conversion of 1c′ to several of the compounds of the invention (Scheme 12) can be conducted with techniques known in the art, such as reductive alkylation with formaldehyde in the presence of a suitable reducing agent, such as sodium cyanoborohydride, and an acid, such as acetic acid to afford the alkylated amine derivative (1d′). Alternatively, 1c′ may be converted to the amide derivative (1e′) by acylation with a suitably substituted acid chloride or acid anhydride in the presence of a base, such as pyridine, optionally in the presence of an acylation catalyst, such as DMAP. Amine derivative (1c′) may also converted to a carbamate (1f′) by treatment with a suitably substituted chloroformate or pyrocarbonate derivative in the presence of pyridine. Finally, reaction of 1c′ with a suitably substituted isocyanate in an inert solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran or methylene chloride, provides access to the corresponding urea derivatives (1g′). Optional deprotection of the 2′-acetyl group of 1b′, 1c′, 1d′, 1e′, 1f, and 1g′ is readily effected as described for the conversion of compound 1b to compound 1c (Scheme 2).
19
[0084] Scheme 13 illustrates the analogous procedure whereby 1a′ is converted to compounds of the invention 1h′, 1i′, 1j′, and 1k′ with a carbonyl-containing substituent on the carbamate in the 6-position, wherein R4 and Ra are as described above. Reaction of 1a′ with, for example, benzyl 4-oxobutanoic acid (Cannon, J. G. and Garst, J. E., J. Org. Chem. 1975, 40, 182) in the presence of a suitable reducing agent, such as triethylsilane, and a suitable acid, such as trifluoroacetic acid affords the benzyl ester derivative (1h′). Typically this reaction is conducted in an appropriate solvent, such as acetonitrile, methylene chloride, or toluene, for 2 to 96 hours at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to 110° C. Deprotection of 1h′ to afford the corresponding acid derivative (1i′) can be readily effected by procedures known in the art, such as catalytic hydrogenation in the presence palladium on carbon in an inert solvent such as methanol or ethanol. Conversion of 1i′ to other compounds of the invention (Scheme 13) can be executed with techniques known in the art, such as reaction with a suitably substituted alcohol or amine in the presence of a coupling agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, BOP, or PyBOP, optionally in the presence of a base, such as diisopropylethylamine, and an acylation catalyst, such as DMAP or HOAt, to afford the corresponding ester derivative (1j′) or amide derivative (1k′). Optional deprotection of the 2′-acetyl group of 1h′, 1i′, 1j′, and 1k′ is readily effected as described for the conversion of compound 1b to compound 1c (Scheme 2).
[0085] When the aldehydes or acetals used in the preparation of compounds 1d, 1e, 1i, 1m, 1p, and 1y are not commercially available, they can be obtained by conventional synthetic procedures, in accordance with literature precedent, from readily accessible starting materials using standard reagents and reaction conditions. Exemplary syntheses of several of the aldehydes used in the preparation of 1d, 1e, 1i, 1m, 1p, and 1y are presented hereinafter as reference examples.
[0086] Compounds of the invention wherein R3 is a group other than H may be prepared as described in WO 98/25942.
[0087] Compounds of the invention wherein R5 is a hydroxy protecting group other than acyl may be prepared in methods analogous to those shown in the above schemes with appropriate reagents that are either commercially available or may be made by known methods.
[0088] Compounds of the invention wherein R6 is a group other than ethyl may be prepared beginning with modified erythromycin derivatives as starting materials as described in various publications including, but not limited to, WO099/35157, WO/0062783, WO/0063224, and WO00/63225.
[0089] These compounds have antimicrobial activity against susceptible and drug resistant Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. In particular, they are useful as broad spectrum antibacterial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections in humans and animals. These compounds are particularly activity against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes, Enterococci, Moraxella catarrhalis and H. influenzae. These compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia, upper and lower respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, meningitis, hospital-acquired lung infections, and bone and joint infections.
[0090] Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) has been an indicator of in vitro antibacterial activity widely used in the art. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the compounds was determined by the microdilution broth method following the test method from the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). This method is described in the NCCLS Document M7-A4, Vol. 17, No.2, “Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically—Fourth Edition”, which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0091] In this method two-fold serial dilutions of drug in cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth are added to wells in microdilution trays. The test organisms are prepared by adjusting the turbidity of actively growing broth cultures so that the final concentration of test organism after it is added to the wells is approximately 5×104 CFU/well.
[0092] Following inoculation of the microdilution trays, the trays are incubated at 35° C. for 16-20 hours and then read. The MIC is the lowest concentration of test compound that completely inhibits growth of the test organism. The amount of growth in the wells containing the test compound is compared with the amount of growth in the growth-control wells (no test compound) used in each tray. As set forth in Table 1, compounds of the present invention were tested against a variety of Gram positive and Gram negative pathogenic bacteria resulting in a range of activities depending on the organism tested.
[0093] Table 1 below sets forth the biological activity (MIC, μg/mL) of some compounds of the present invention.

[0094] This invention further provides a method of treating bacterial infections, or enhancing or potentiating the activity of other antibacterial agents, in warm- blooded animals, which comprises administering to the animals a compound of the invention alone or in admixture with another antibacterial agent in the form of a medicament according to the invention.
[0095] When the compounds are employed for the above utility, they may be combined with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, e.g., solvents, diluents, and the like, and may be administered orally in such forms as tablets, capsules, dispersible powders, granules, or suspensions containing for example, from about 0.5% to 5% of suspending agent, syrups containing, for example, from about 10% to 50% of sugar, and elixirs containing, for example, from about 20% to 50% ethanol, and the like, or parenterally in the form of sterile injectable solutions or suspensions containing from about 0.5% to 5% suspending agent in an isotonic medium. These pharmaceutical preparations may contain, for example, from about 0.5% up to about 90% of the active ingredient in combination with the carrier, more usually between 5% and 60% by weight.
[0096] Compositions for topical application may take the form of liquids, creams or gels, containing a therapeutically effective concentration of a compound of the invention admixed with a dermatologically acceptable carrier.
[0097] In preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, sucrose and kaolin, while liquid carriers include sterile water, polyethylene glycols, non-ionic surfactants and edible oils such as corn, peanut and sesame oils, as are appropriate to the nature of the active ingredient and the particular form of administration desired. Adjuvants customarily employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions may be advantageously included, such as flavoring agents, coloring agents, preserving agents, and antioxidants, for example, vitamin E, ascorbic acid, BHT and BHA.
[0098] The preferred pharmaceutical compositions from the standpoint of ease of preparation and administration are solid compositions, particularly tablets and hard-filled or liquid-filled capsules. Oral administration of the compounds is preferred. These active compounds may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds as a free base or pharmacological acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropyl-cellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations may contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
[0099] The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must 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 (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.
[0100] The effective dosage of active ingredient employed may vary depending on the particular compound employed, the mode of administration and the severity of the condition being treated. However, in general, satisfactory results are obtained when the compounds of the invention are administered at a daily dosage of from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 400 mg/kg of animal body weight, which may be given in divided doses two to four times a day, or in sustained release form. For most large mammals the total daily dosage is from about 0.07 g to 7.0 g, preferably from about 100 mg to 2000 mg. Dosage forms suitable for internal use comprise from about 100 mg to 1200 mg of the active compound in intimate admixture with a solid or liquid pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation.
[0101] The production of the above-mentioned pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments is carried out by any method known in the art, for example, by mixing the active ingredients(s) with the diluent(s) to form a pharmaceutical composition (e.g. a granulate) and then forming the composition into the medicament (e.g. tablets).
[0102] The following examples describe in detail the chemical synthesis of representative compounds of the present invention. The procedures are illustrations, and the invention should not be construed as being limited by chemical reactions and conditions they express. No attempt has been made to optimize the yields obtained in these reactions, and it would be obvious to one skilled in the art that variations in reaction times, temperatures, solvents, and/or reagents could increase the yields.
