The present invention relates to small molecule compounds and their use in the treatment of bacterial infections, in particular Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis (TB) still claims the life of more than 1.8 million people each year. Inadequate use of chemotherapy has led to an increasing number in multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB, and the situation is likely to worsen with the emergence and spread of exensively drug resistant form of the disease (Chaisson R. E. & Nuennberger E. L., N Engl J Med 2012; Zhao Y. et al., N Engl J Med 2012). The most urgent clinical need is to discover potent agents capable of reducing the time of M-XDR tuberculosis therapy with a success rate comparable to susceptible tuberculosis. The last decade has seen the discovery of promising new agent classes for the management of tuberculosis (Stover C. K. et al. Nature 2000; Andreis K. et al. Science 2005; Makarov V. et al. Science 2009), several of which are currently under clinical development (Diacon A. H. et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2010; Diacon A. H. et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2012; Gler M. T. et al. N Engl J Med 2012). However, given the high attrition rate during clinical development and emergence of resistance, the discovery of additional clinical candidates is clearly needed.
Current chemotherapy consists of compounds that directly target Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacillus, by targeting either the synthesis of macromolecules such as DNA, RNA or protein synthesis, or key components of the cell-wall. The most widely used dedicated anti-tubercular drugs isoniazid, ethionamide and pyrazinamide are pro-drugs that first require activation. As active forms, they demonstrate inhibitory activity on primarily cell-wall synthesis and/or on a wide range of mycobacterial targets, which have not yet been fully characterized. One of the most challenging obstacle in the discovery of new anti-TB drugs is the lack of predictive in vitro screening methods that reproduce critical features found in vivo. Although there is still a lack of understanding of the biological mechanisms behind tubercle bacillus persistence, i.e. the location and state of latent bacteria in humans, M. tuberculosis is thought to persists in primary granulomas (Lenaerts et al., 2007) and within various cell types (Houben et al., 2006; Neyrolles et al., 2006). The bacillus mainly localizes inside phagocytic cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, where it adapts drastically its metabolism to survive the harsh environment found in professional phagocytic cells (Rohde et al., 2007; Schnappinger et al., 2003). Therefore, we developed and used a phenotypic high-content screening technology in infected macrophages to identify novel antitubercular compounds (WO2010003533A2), overcoming many of the numerous and burdensome steps involved with other methodologies (Arain et al., 1996). The technology has several advantages compared to traditional phenotypic screening approaches since it allows i) screening under physiologically relevant conditions, which is notoriously challenging in the field (Pethe K. et al. Nat Commun 2010; Stanley S. A. et al., ACS Chem Biol 2012), ii) selection of non-cytotoxic compounds that penetrate effectively inside macrophages, and iii) selection of compounds that are poor substrates for macrophage-induced efflux mechanisms (Adams K. N. et al. Cell 2011), thereby compressing the discovery and optimization time of new lead molecules.
It was an object of the present invention to identify compounds effective against bacterial infections, in particular compounds that would prevent M. tuberculosis multiplication inside the host macrophage.

A medicament of the invention may be those suitable for oral, rectal, bronchial, nasal, topical, buccal, sub-lingual, transdermal, vaginal or parenteral (including cutaneous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, intraarterial, intracerebral, intraocular injection or infusion) administration, or those in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation, including powders and liquid aerosol administration, or by sustained release systems. Suitable examples of sustained release systems include semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the compound of the invention, which matrices may be in form of shaped articles, e.g. films or microcapsules.
The compounds useable according to the invention, together with a conventional adjuvant, carrier, or diluent, may thus be placed into the form of medicament and unit dosages thereof. Such forms include solids, and in particular tablets, filled capsules, powder and pellet forms, and liquids, in particular aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions, emulsions, elixirs, and capsules filled with the same, all for oral use, suppositories for rectal administration, and sterile injectable solutions for parenteral use. Such medicament and unit dosage forms thereof may comprise conventional ingredients in conventional proportions, with or without additional active compounds or principles, and such unit dosage forms may contain any suitable effective amount of the active ingredient commensurate with the intended daily dosage range to be employed.
The compounds useable according to the invention can be administered in a wide variety of oral and parenteral dosage forms. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the following dosage forms may comprise, as the active component, either a compound(s) useable according to the invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound(s) useable according to the invention.
For preparing a medicament from a compound useable according to the invention, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavouring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulating material.
In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in a mixture with the finely divided active component. In tablets, the active component is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding capacity in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. Suitable carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term “preparation” is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component, with or without carriers, is surrounded by a carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets and lozenges are included. Tablets, powders, capsules, pills, cachets, and lozenges can be used as solid forms suitable for oral administration.
For preparing suppositories, a low melting wax, such as a mixture of fatty acid glyceride or cocoa butter, is first melted and the active component is dispersed homogeneously therein, as by stirring. The molten homogenous mixture is then poured into convenient sized moulds, allowed to cool, and thereby to solidify. Compositions suitable for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or sprays containing in addition to the active ingredient such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate. Liquid preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, for example, water or water-propylene glycol solutions. For example, parenteral injection liquid preparations can be formulated as solutions in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution.
The chemical compounds according to the present invention may thus be formulated for parenteral administration (e.g. by injection, for example bolus injection or continuous infusion) and may be presented in unit dose form in ampoules, pre-filled syringes, small volume infusion or in multi-dose containers with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulation agents such as suspending, stabilising and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form, obtained by aseptic isolation of sterile solid or by lyophilization from solution, for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile, pyrogen-free water, before use.
Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavours, stabilising and thickening agents, as desired. Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, such as natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, or other well known suspending agents.
Also included are solid form preparations which are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for oral administration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. These preparations may contain, in addition to the active component, colorants, flavours, stabilisers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the like.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the medicament is applied topically or systemically or via a combination of the two routes.
For administration, the compounds of the present invention may, in one embodiment, be administered in a formulation containing 0.001% to 70% per weight of the compound, preferably between 0.01% to 70% per weight of the compound, even more preferred between 0.1% and 70% per weight of the compound. In one embodiment, a suitable amount of compound administered is in the range of from 0.01 mg/kg body weight to 1 g/kg body weight.
Compositions suitable for administration also include lozenges comprising the active agent in a flavoured base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth; pastilles comprising the active ingredient in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerol or sucrose and acacia; and mouthwashes comprising the active ingredient in a suitable liquid carrier.
Solutions or suspensions are applied directly to the nasal cavity by conventional means, for example with a dropper, pipette or spray. The compositions may be provided in single or multi-dose form. In the latter case of a dropper or pipette, this may be achieved by the patient administering an appropriate, predetermined volume of the solution or suspension. In the case of a spray, this may be achieved for example by means of a metering atomising spray pump.
Administration to the respiratory tract may also be achieved by means of an aerosol formulation in which the active ingredient is provided in a pressurised pack with a suitable propellant such as a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) for example dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, or dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide, or other suitable gas. The aerosol may conveniently also contain a surfactant such as lecithin. The dose of drug may be controlled by provision of a metered valve.
Alternatively the active ingredients may be provided in the form of a dry powder, for example a powder mix of the compound in a suitable powder base such as lactose, starch, starch derivatives such as hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Conveniently the powder carrier will form a gel in the nasal cavity. The powder composition may be presented in unit dose form for example in capsules or cartridges of, e.g., gelatin, or blister packs from which the powder may be administered by means of an inhaler.
In compositions intended for administration to the respiratory tract, including intranasal compositions, the compound will generally have a small particle size for example of the order of 5 microns or less. Such a particle size may be obtained by means known in the art, for example by micronization.
When desired, compositions adapted to give sustained release of the active ingredient may be employed.
The pharmaceutical preparations are preferably in unit dosage forms. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, such as packaged tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. Also, the unit dosage form can be a capsule, tablet, cachet, or lozenge itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form. Tablets or capsules for oral administration and liquids for intravenous administration and continuous infusion are preferred compositions.
Further details on techniques for formulation and administration may be found in the latest edition of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Maack Publishing Co. Easton, Pa.).

The invention is now further described by reference to the following examples which are intended to illustrate, not to limit the scope of the invention.
Cell-based assays are key tools in lead finding and optimization of new chemical entities for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The availability of a robust in vitro assay for testing the Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a new chemical entity is an absolute requirement for the success of a program. The microplate broth dilution assay using a M. tuberculosis strain expressing the green-fluorescent protein (GFP) was selected as this method i) delivers highly reproducible results, ii) allows screening of large number of compounds, and iii) can be partially automated if required.
Briefly, a starting culture of M. tuberculosis was prepared by diluting a frozen aliquot in 50 mL of 7H9 medium supplemented with glycerol, to an optical density at 600 nM (OD600) of 0.02. The culture was incubated for 3 days at 37° C. to an OD600 of 0.2-0.3. The bacteria were the harvested by centrifugation at 3000 rpm, washed once and resuspended to an OD600 of 0.1 in 7H9 medium without glycerol. The OD600 was finally adjusted to 0.02 and the culture was kept at room temperature before dispensing to the assay plate.
The assay was carried out in 384-well flat bottom microplates in a final volume of 50 μl. 25 μl of the prepared bacterial working culture was added to the compound test plate containing 0.5 μl of serial diluted test compounds.
The plates were incubated at 37° C. for 5 days. Bacterial growth was determined after 5 days of incubation by measuring fluorescence intensity at 488 nm after 5 days of incubation using the plate reader SPECTRA MAX plus (Molecular Devices®). MIC80, the concentration of the compound that inhibits growth compared to the drug free control after 5 days by 80%, were determined using Graph Pad PRISM® software.
The imidazopyridine compounds (scaffolds I-IX; see Table 1) underwent derivatization according to the methods outlined below (Schemes 1-22). Resulting derivatives were examined for inhibitory activity (MIC) using the assays described above (Example 1) and the results are summarized in Table 1.

The effect of compounds 171 and 175 on the bacterial load of TB-infected mice was compared to that of the reference compound Isoniazid (INH). 8-week old female BalbC mice were infected with 8×106 M. tuberculosis H37Rv via intranasal inoculation. Mice were sacrificed at day 1 to control the number of CFU in the lungs. In the acute model of infection, mice were treated for 3 days, starting at day 6. Compounds were freshly dissolved in a 20% d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (ETPGS) solution and administered by oral gavage as single dose per day. Bacterial load was assessed in lungs after homogenizing the organs in 1×PBS. Serial dilutions of organs homogenates were spread on Middlebrook 7H11 plates and CFU were determined after 3 weeks incubation at 37° C. under 5% CO2.

Investigation of bacillus growth inhibitors within macrophages has long been limited due to cumbersome CFU plating, slow bacillus growth, safety requirements and difficulties in setting-up appropriate infection conditions. As a consequence, this approach was always used as a secondary assay after the initial selection of compounds that are active on in vitro extracellular growth. With the advent of automated confocal microscopy, the above mentioned limitations could be readdressed and the methodology employed herein demonstrates the feasibility of large scale compound screening.
Obviously compounds tested to be active against in vitro M. tuberculosis growth are the most promising. The best inhibitors isolated from this library have an inhibitory activity. Further structure activity relationship studies will contribute to determine if their activity can be additionally improved. Taken together, the above results show that monitoring M. tuberculosis growth with automated fluorescence microscopy is highly robust and reliable and that this method enables fast selection of potent anti-TB compounds.
