DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “and,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “an agent” includes a plurality of such agents, and reference to “the cell” includes reference to one or more cells (or to a plurality of cells) and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth. When ranges are used herein for physical properties, such as molecular weight, or chemical properties, such as chemical formulae, all combinations and subcombinations of ranges and specific embodiments therein are intended to be included. The term “about” when referring to a number or a numerical range means that the number or numerical range referred to is an approximation within experimental variability (or within statistical experimental error), and thus the number or numerical range, in some instances, will vary between 1% and 15% of the stated number or numerical range. The term “comprising” (and related terms such as “comprise” or “comprises” or “having” or “including”) is not intended to exclude that in other certain embodiments, for example, an embodiment of any composition of matter, composition, method, or process, or the like, described herein, “consist of” or “consist essentially of” the described features.

These terms refer to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including but not limited to therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. By “therapeutic benefit” is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient is still afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the compositions are, in some embodiments, administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease has not been made.

“Prodrug” is meant to indicate a compound that is, in some embodiments, converted under physiological conditions or by solvolysis to a biologically active compound described herein. Thus, the term “prodrug” refers to a precursor of a biologically active compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable. A prodrug is typically inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis. The prodrug compound often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, e.g., Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985), pp. 7-9, 21-24 (Elsevier, Amsterdam).

A discussion of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi, T., et al., “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987.

The term “prodrug” is also meant to include any covalently bonded carriers, which release the active compound in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of an active compound, as described herein, are prepared by modifying functional groups present in the active compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent active compound. Prodrugs include compounds wherein a hydroxy, amino or mercapto group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, free amino or free mercapto group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol or amine functional groups in the active compounds and the like.

LpxC Inhibitory Compounds

The subject compounds and compositions are useful for inhibiting UDP-{3-O—[(R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl]}-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (LpxC) and for the treatment of bacterial infection.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

In certain embodiments, the heterocyclic LpxC inhibitory compound as described herein is administered as a pure chemical. In other embodiments, the heterocyclic LpxC inhibitory compound described herein is combined with a pharmaceutically suitable or acceptable carrier (also referred to herein as a pharmaceutically suitable (or acceptable) excipient, physiologically suitable (or acceptable) excipient, or physiologically suitable (or acceptable) carrier) selected on the basis of a chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice as described, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (Gennaro, 21^st Ed. Mack Pub. Co., Easton, Pa. (2005)).

Provided herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one heterocyclic LpxC inhibitory compound, or a stereoisomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or N-oxide thereof, together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The carrier(s) (or excipient(s)) is acceptable or suitable if the carrier is compatible with the other ingredients of the composition and not deleterious to the recipient (i.e., the subject or patient) of the composition.

One embodiment provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), or (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

In certain embodiments, the heterocyclic LpxC inhibitory compound as described by Formula (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), or (II) is substantially pure, in that it contains less than about 5%, or less than about 1%, or less than about 0.1%, of other organic small molecules, such as unreacted intermediates or synthesis by-products that are created, for example, in one or more of the steps of a synthesis method.

Suitable oral dosage forms include, for example, tablets, pills, sachets, or capsules of hard or soft gelatin, methylcellulose or of another suitable material easily dissolved in the digestive tract. In some embodiments, suitable nontoxic solid carriers are used which include, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, talcum, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, and the like. (See, e.g., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (Gennaro, 21^st Ed. Mack Pub. Co., Easton, Pa. (2005)).

The dose of the composition comprising at least one heterocyclic LpxC inhibitory compound as described herein differ, depending upon the patient's condition, that is, stage of the disease, general health status, age, and other factors.

Pharmaceutical compositions are administered in a manner appropriate to the disease to be treated (or prevented). An appropriate dose and a suitable duration and frequency of administration will be determined by such factors as the condition of the patient, the type and severity of the patient's disease, the particular form of the active ingredient, and the method of administration. In general, an appropriate dose and treatment regimen provides the composition(s) in an amount sufficient to provide therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit (e.g., an improved clinical outcome), or a lessening of symptom severity. Optimal doses are generally determined using experimental models and/or clinical trials. The optimal dose depends upon the body mass, weight, or blood volume of the patient.

Oral doses typically range from about 1.0 mg to about 1000 mg, one to four times, or more, per day.

LpxC, Lipid A and Gram-Negative Bacteria

Metalloproteins influence a vast diversity of biological systems, biological processes, and diseases. For example, UDP-{3-O—[(R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl]}-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (LpxC) is an essential enzyme involved in the first committed step in lipid A biosynthesis for gram-negative bacteria. Lipid A is an essential component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. LpxC is a zinc(II)-dependent metalloenzyme, with two histidines and an aspartic acid residue bound to the zinc(II) ion. Structures of LpxC show the zinc(II) ion is bound to two water molecules, both of which have been implicated in the mechanism of the enzyme. LpxC is highly conserved across strains of gram-negative bacteria, making LpxC an attractive target to treat gram-negative infections.

In recent years, there has been an increase in resistant and multi-drug resistant strains of bacteria. Thus, there is a need for new antibiotics, especially with new mechanisms of action. There remains a need for metalloprotein modulators of LpxC useful in the field of therapeutics, diagnostics, and research.

One embodiment provides a method of inhibiting UDP-{3—O—[(R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl]}-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase enzyme comprising contacting the enzyme with a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), or (II).

EXAMPLES

I. Biological Evaluation

Example 1: In Vitro Assays to Screen Compounds and Metalloprotein Modulators

Bacterial Susceptibility Testing

Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined by the broth microdilution method in accordance with the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. In brief, organism suspensions were adjusted to a 0.5 McFarland standard to yield a final inoculum between 3×10⁵ and 7×10⁵ colony-forming units (CFU)/mL. Drug dilutions and inocula were made in sterile, cation adjusted Mueller-Hinton Broth (Beckton Dickinson). An inoculum volume of 100 μL was added to wells containing 100 μL of broth with 2-fold serial dilutions of drug. All inoculated microdilution trays were incubated in ambient air at 35 ° C. for 18-24 h. Following incubation, the lowest concentration of the drug that prevented visible growth (OD600 nm<0.05) was recorded as the MIC. Performance of the assay was monitored by the use of laboratory quality-control strains and levofloxacin, a compound with a defined MIC spectrum, in accordance with CLSI guidelines.
