The present invention relates to novel imidazopyrazine derivatives which exhibit antibacterial properties. The invention also relates to methods of using the compounds for the treatment or prevention of bacterial infections and resulting diseases, in particular for the treatment or prevention of infections with Acinetobacter baumannii and resulting diseases.
Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative, aerobic, nonfermenting bacterium recognized over the last decades as an emerging pathogen with very limited treatment options.
A. baumannii is considered to be a serious threat by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and belongs to the so called ‘ESKAPE’ pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter species & E. coli) that currently cause the majority of nosocomial infections and effectively “escape” the activity of antimicrobial agents.
A. baumannii is most often encountered in intensive care units and surgical wards, where extensive antibiotic use has enabled selection for resistance against all known antimicrobials and where it causes infections that include bacteremia, pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract infection, and wound infection.
A. baumannii has an exceptional ability to upregulate and acquire resistance determinants and shows an environmental persistence that allows its survival and spread in the nosocomial setting, making this organism a frequent cause of outbreaks of infection and an endemic, health care-associated pathogen.
Due to increasing antibiotic resistance to most if not all available therapeutic options, Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) A. baumannii infections, especially those caused by Carbapenem resistant A. baumannii, are extremely difficult or even impossible to treat with high mortality rate as well as increased morbidity and length of stay in intensive care unit.
Acinetobacter baumannii has been defined and still remains “a prime example of a mismatch between unmet medical needs and the current antimicrobial research and development pipeline” according to the Antimicrobial Availability Task Force (AATF) of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). Thus, there is a high demand and need to identify compounds suitable for the treatment of diseases and infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii.
The present invention provides novel compounds which exhibit activity against drug-susceptible as well as drug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii.

Processes of Manufacturing
The preparation of compounds of formula I of the present invention may be carried out in sequential or convergent synthetic routes. Syntheses of the compounds of the invention are shown in the following schemes. The skills required for carrying out the reactions and purifications of the resulting products are known to those skilled in the art. The substituents and indices used in the following description of the processes have the significance given herein before unless indicated to the contrary. In more detail, the compounds of formula I can be manufactured by the methods given below, by the methods given in the examples or by analogous methods. Appropriate reaction conditions for the individual reaction steps are known to a person skilled in the art. Also, for reaction conditions described in literature affecting the described reactions see for example: Comprehensive Organic Transformations: A Guide to Functional Group Preparations, 2nd Edition, Richard C. Larock. John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y. 1999). We find it convenient to carry out the reactions in the presence or absence of a solvent. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the solvent to be employed, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction or the reagents involved and that it can dissolve the reagents, at least to some extent. The described reactions can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to the invention. It is convenient to carry out the described reactions in a temperature range between −78° C. to reflux. The time required for the reaction may also vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents. However, a period of from 0.5 h to several days will usually suffice to yield the described intermediates and compounds. The reaction sequence is not limited to the one displayed in the schemes, however, depending on the starting materials and their respective reactivity the sequence of reaction steps can be freely altered. Starting materials are either commercially available or can be prepared by methods analogous to the methods given below, by methods described in references cited in the description or in the examples, or by methods known in the art.
The following types of organic reactions—or variations thereof—were used throughout the invention. Reagent examples given below are options which work in this invention, but can also be substituted by alternatives well known in the field and described throughout the literature.
Amide Formation
There are myriad ways to form an amide bond. In this invention several ones were used which are generally described as follows.
The corresponding carboxylic acid and a suitable base were combined in a suitable solvent. Then a coupling reagent was added and the mixture stirred for a short period (usually 5-30 minutes). Then the corresponding amine was added and stirring at an appropriate temperature was continued until reaction monitoring revealed formation of sufficient amounts of product. Alternatively carboxylic acid, base, amine and coupling reagent can be combined from the start. Examples for a suitable base are DIPEA or Et3N, an example for a coupling reagent is HAUT or 1-propanephosphonic anhydride and a suitable solvent would be DMF. These reaction usually proceed at room temperature, but depending on the reactivity the temperature may be elevated.
An alternative is the formation of an activated ester form the corresponding acid using N-hydroxysuccinimide with the use of 1-ethyl-(3-(3-dimethylamino)propyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride and subsequent reaction with the corresponding amine to form the amide.
Urea Formation
There are many ways known in the field how to form a urea which can be applied to synthesize the molecules in this invention. One option which can be used is stirring of the two respective amines in a suitable solvent, a base and a coupling reagent at an appropriate temperature. Alternatively one of the amines, the base and coupling reagent in a solvent are stirred first, then the resulting intermediate reacted with the second amine. Example for suitable solvents are DMF, NMP and DCM. DIPEA is an example for a suitable base and examples for a coupling reagent would be N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole or bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate. Depending on the reactivity, the reactions can proceed at various temperatures.
SNAr
Electrophile and nucleophile were combined in a solvent and heated to an appropriate temperature until reaction monitoring showed formation of a suitable amount of product. In certain cases a catalytic additive can promote the reaction and heating in a sealed reaction vessel can be beneficial. An examples for a suitable solvent is acetonitrile, an example for a catalytic additive is acetic acid. Depending on the reactivity the required temperature can vary widely, but often temperatures around the boiling point of the mixture were used. In case when working in sealed reaction vessels temperature slightly above could be used.
Suzuki Coupling Aryl-halide and boronate were combined with a solvent. A base and catalyst were added and the reaction mixture was heated to an appropriate temperature and stirred until reaction monitoring confirmed formation of sufficient amounts of product. It can be advantageous to perform the reaction under exclusion of oxygen and in a sealed reaction vessel. Halide and boronate can be used equimolar or either one in excess. Suitable solvents are for example dioxane or a mixture of dioxane and water. An example for a suitable base is sodium carbonate (solid or in aq solution) and suitable catalysts can be 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenedichloro palladium(II). Reaction temperatures are usually above room temperatures, preferred in the range of the boiling point of the solvent mixture—or in case a sealed reaction vessel was used slightly above.
Reductive Amination
Reaction of an amine with a ketone or aldehyde in a suitable solvent and a suitable reducing agent, sometimes also by adding a suitable catalyst. Examples for a suitable solvent are THF, methanol or ethanol. Sometimes imine formation and subsequent addition of the reducing agent may be needed. Examples for reducing agents are sodium triacetoxyborohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride. An example for a suitable catalyst is acetic acid. The reactions can proceed at room temperature, but may require heating.
Alkylation
To a mixture of the corresponding nucleophile in a suitable solvent was added the alkylating agent (usually in excess) and a base. The mixture was then stirred at a suitable temperature until reaction monitoring showed formation of sufficient amounts of product. Examples for suitable solvents are dioxane and acetonitrile, the reactions usually proceed at room temperature, but depending on reactivity a higher temperature may be needed.
Boc, tBu-Ester and Trt Deprotection
The protected starting material was combined with a suitable solvent. Then a suitable acid was added an the mixture stirred at a suitable temperature until reaction monitoring showed formation of a sufficient amount of product. Examples for suitable solvents are dioxane, methanol and dichloromethane. Examples for suitable acids are HCl or TFA. The concentrations of those acids can vary from very dilute to very concentrated. In case of HCl the preferred concentration range is between 0.5-4 M, for TFA in the range of 10-90%. Depending on the susceptibility of other functional groups like oxetanes or azetidines TFA may be more appropriate than HCl. Those reactions usually work well at room temperature, but depending on the stability or when tBu-Ester were present elevated temperatures may be needed.
An alternative method is to combine the protected starting materials in a suitable solvent with lithium chloride and a base and heat until reaction monitoring shows formation of a sufficient amount of product. Examples for suitable solvents are DMF and a suitable base triethylamine
Phtalimid Deprotection
Phtalimid protection groups can be removed by stirring the compound with hydrazine hydrate in a suitable solvent like ethanol at slightly elevated temperature.
Cbz Deprotection
Cbz deprotection can be done under standard hydrogenation conditions. A possible way is to dissolve the starting material in a suitable solvent like methanol or ethanol, add a suitable catalyst like 10% Pd/C and hydrogenate under hydrogen atmosphere with or without pressure at a suitable temperature which is usually room temperature.
Ester Hydrolysis
In the synthesis sequence the deprotection of an acid moiety in form of a hydrolysis from the corresponding ester may be needed. One way is a saponification procedure, where the corresponding ester is stirred with an appropriate strong base like aqueous sodium hydroxide in suitable solvents like THF, methanol, water or mixtures thereof. Those reaction usually proceed at room temperature, but may require heating.
To build the molecules of this invention the following bonds were formed in various order using standard methods known to people skilled in the art.
To form the bond between the central imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine core and R4 a Suzuki approach can be used. Instead of R4, also a precursor (Rz) which can then be turned into R4 can be employed.
The formation can be generalized as in the Scheme 1, while the Suzuki could be turned around with the halogen on R4/Rz while the boronate is present on the imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine moiety. Alternatively to boronic acids also boronic acid esters, trifluoroborates or other suitable coupling partner can be used, other halogens than iodine can be used. The above described general procedure for a Suzuki coupling can be used. See Example 1 step 2 for a representative procedure.
Intermediates Type 1, which can be a boronic acid ester, but also a boronic acid, trifluoroborates or other suitable coupling partner, can be commercially available, but depending on the substitution they may have to be prepared.
A representative sequence is depicted in Scheme 2 where first the substitution can be modified by alkylation of the phenol moiety (see general procedure for alkylation) using an alkyl bromide in acetonitrile in presence of a base. This is then followed by a borylation using bis(pinacolato)diboron in the presence of a base like potassium acetate and a palladium catalyst in a suitable solvent like dioxane at elevated temperature. See steps 1 and 2 of example 2 for an implementation.
Modification of the substitution pattern can also be achieved via SNAr using an appropriate activated halo-heteroaromatic system (e.g. 2-chloropyrimidine) where this is stirred with the corresponding phenol in presence of a base (for example potassium carbonate) in a suitable solvent (for example DMSO) at elevated temperature. Example 3, step 5 is a representative example for such a transformation.
Another way to modify the substitution pattern is by alkylating the aromatic ring directly, for example when it consist of a pyrazole as shown in Scheme 3.
A representative procedure can be found in the preparation of Example 4.
It may be required to synthesize a suitable alkylating agent. One possibility is by building up a mesylate, like shown in Scheme 4. This is done by forming a Boc protected amine from a commercial diol-monomesylate by reacting it with ammonium hydroxide and Boc2O. The remaining alcohol can then be transformed to the corresponding mesylate, for example by reacting it with mesyl chloride in the presence of a suitable base like triethylamine in a suitable solvent like DCM. This mesylate can then be used to alkylate the aromatic ring. Representative procedures can be found in the preparation of Example 5.
Another method to modify the substitution pattern is by doing an Ullman type coupling, where the phenol is reacted with an appropriate halo-aromatic system in the presence of a base, an appropriate ligand and a copper(I) source at elevated temperatures. An example for a base would be cesium carbonate, for the ligand/catalyst pair would be 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate/copper(I)bromide in a suitable solvent like acetonitrile. Also this halo-aromatic system may have to be built up first and later also further modified. The sequence can look like depicted in Scheme 5, where benzyl azide is reacted with an alkaline in the presence of copper(I)iodide and NBS to form a protected triazole. This is then coupled with the respective phenol like described above. After attaching the imidazopyrazine moiety and subsequent modifications on this part the protecting group is hydrogenated under standard conditions followed by another alkylation of the triazole.
A representative procedure can be found in the preparation of example 6.
Alternatively, modifications like the alkylation can done after the boronate was coupled to the imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine moiety. At times it may be important to use protective groups on certain functionalities. An example for this can be found in the synthesis of example 7.
In case where the aromatic ring is a pyrazole, it may be important to protect the pyrazole nitrogen for the synthesis to be successful. An example for such a sequence is shown in Scheme 6 where the aromatic ring is iodinated using a suitable reagent like n-iodosuccinimide. The pyrazol is then protected with a trityl-group by first deprotonating the pyrazole using a suitable base like sodium hydride and then a reagent like trityl-chloride. At last the homoaromatic system is then transformed into the corresponding boronic acid by halogen-lithium exchange using a suitable reagent like butyl lithium followed by the addition of a suitable reagent like boron isopropoxide.
The trityl group can be cleaved at a later timepoint using a strong acid like HCl in dioxane. Representative procedures can be found in the preparation of Example 8.
The bond between the nitrogen and the imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine moiety can be formed using an SNAr reaction starting from the 8-halo-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine and the corresponding aniline using the general procedure for a SNAr described above (Scheme 7).
The bond between the 8-amino-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine and the neighbouring benzene ring can be established via Buchwald procedure (Scheme 8) where the 8-amino-imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine is coupled with a halobenzene in the presence of a suitable base and a suitable palladium catalyst in a suitable solvent, usually under inert atmosphere at elevated temperature. An example for this is potassium carbonate or sodium tert.-butoxide as base, tert.-butanol or THF as solvent and Brettphos Pd G3 or 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene/tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) as catalyst at elevated temperature. Depending on the substrates another catalyst or catalyst/ligand combination may be suitable.
The amide bond present in formula (I) can be constructed with a variety of amide couplings known in the field (Scheme 9). But also amide bonds present in Rx can be constructed in this manner and are described in the general procedure above. It may be possible to have an amine in hand which already consist of the full Rx part.
However, it may also exist as a synthetic precursor (Ry′) from which Rx has to be built up previously or after the fact, where the use of protecting groups like Boc, tBu or Cbz can be used to mask a reactive functionality in Rx like an amine or an acid. Subsequent deprotection as described in the general procedures followed by more amide couplings/urea formations/reductive aminations/alkylations/reductions can be employed (which may again require subsequent deprotections). A representative sequence can be found in example 9 steps 3-7 where Ry was coupled and the resulting Ry′ was then further modified to form Rx (Boc-deprotection→amide coupling→Boc deprotection→reductive amination→alkylation to form the quaternary ammonium centre).
Depending on the structure of Rx a different sequence of synthesis steps may be required to get there from Ry. An alternative sequence from the one above can be found in example 10 (Boc deprotection→reductive amination→alkylation to form the quaternary ammonium centre→Boc deprotection).
An alcohol in Rx can be obtained from reducing a corresponding ester to this alcohol by using a reducing agent (for example sodium borohydride), if needed in presence of an agent like lithium chloride in suitable solvents like THF, ethanol or mixtures thereof.
There are cases where parts of R also haves to be built. In cases where R14=aminoalkyl compounds can be built like shown in Scheme 10. Ry is attached by amide coupling and boc deprotection (a). In parallel an aldehyde is formed from an alcohol which contains a phthalimide protected amine (b) with the use of tetrabutylammonium chloride, N-chloro succinimide and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-oxido-piperidine in a buffered solution (NaHCO3/K2CO3). The two products are then coupled by reductive amination and further modified by reductive amination and alkylation and subsequent deprotections. Specific procedures can be found in example 11.
Another example of building up Ry before doing the amide coupling and subsequent further derivatization is shown in Scheme 11. Building Ry: Amide coupling of a Cbz bearing amine with a N-Boc bearing carboxylic acid, followed by Cbz-Deprotection. Amide coupling to attach Ry to the rest of the molecule (as shown in Scheme 9), then further derivatization to get to the desired final compound.
Representative procedures can be found in the preparation of Example 12.
The methods needed to create Rx are covered in the procedures given above and usable sequences are well represented in the specific examples.
Intermediates of Type 2, where I1 can be alkyl or H, may be commercially available, or may have to be synthesized. A possible use of those intermediates is in an SNAr reaction to attach them to the imidazopyrazine part (see above) There are multiple ways how to prepare them. In case where R3=Alkyl and R5═H, a possible sequence is depicted in Scheme 12 where a Suzuki type reaction using an alkenyl boronate followed by a subsequent hydrogenation. A representative is example 13 steps 1 and 2. Alternatively a direct approach can be used by using the corresponding alkylborate solution under Suzuki conditions with a base like potassium carbonate in DMF. A representative procedure can be found in step 1 of example 4.
Alternatively they can be available from the corresponding nitro compounds as shown in Scheme 13 by reduction via Bechamp conditions. A representative procedure can be found in step 1 of example 14. A combination with the modifications in Scheme 12 is possible.
Intermediates of Type 3 may be commercially available, or may have to be synthesized. They are typically used like Intermediates of Type 2.
A synthetic sequence for the preparation of those compounds is to start from an intermediate accessible via the synthesis of an Intermediate Type 2 (Scheme 11 and 12). Amide formation as described above installs RX or a precursor thereof (Ry). In the latter case the precursor may have to be further modified before finally the nitro group is reduced to the corresponding aniline, for example by hydrogenation in the presence of Pd/C in a suitable solvent like methanol. A representative procedure can be found in steps 4-7 of example 2 or steps 4-7 of example 15.
Intermediates of Type 4 are used to attach the moiety to the imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine part, for example by Buchwald coupling like described above
They can be synthesized by similar methods as described for Intermediates of Type 2 and 3. Another way to synthesize them is shown in scheme 15 where an alcohol is transformed to the corresponding mesylate by reacting it with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of a base like triethylamine in a suitable solvent like DCM. In a next step the resulting material is used to alkylate an amide. For this the amide is first deprotonated with a suitable base like sodium hydride, followed by addition of the mesylate and heating. Representative procedures can be found in example 16.
A similar approach can be used to form alkyl-amine bonds in Rx. Formation of the corresponding mesylate from an alcohol in Ry followed by treatment with a corresponding amine in presence of a suitable base which usually does not have to be as strong as above (for example DIPEA). A representative example can be found in the preparation of Example 17.
Another way to synthesize Intermediates of Type 4 is depicted in Scheme 16. Protection of an acid as a tert.-butyl ester, for example by stirring it with N,N-dimethylformamide di-tert-butyl acetal in a suitable solvent like dry toluene at elevated temperatures is followed by Buchwald coupling to the imidazopyrazine moiety followed by acidic deprotection (for example by stirring in HCl in dioxane at elevated temperatures) to form the acid again.
Intermediates of Type 5 can be used as reagent as shown in Scheme 8.
They can be formed by reacting the corresponding chloride with ammonia as shown in Scheme 17. A possibility is to use aqueous ammonia and perform the reaction in a suitable solvent like isopropanol in a sealed vessel at elevated temperature. A representative procedure can be found in the preparation of Example 18.
For practical reasons it may be advantageous to form the quaternary ammonium center late in the synthesis, which is in this invention usually done by an alkylation as described in the general procedures.
As described there are always a multitude of ways how to synthesize the molecules of this invention. Scheme 18 gives a non-comprehensive overview of the multitudes of possible synthesis pathway. In this particular scheme each arrow can consist of multiple steps described above for the corresponding transformation.

Assay Procedures
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing:
90% Growth Inhibitory Concentration (IC90) Determination
The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the compounds was determined according to the following procedure:
The assay used a 10-points Iso-Sensitest broth medium to measure quantitatively the in vitro activity of the compounds against Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17961 and ATCC17978.
Stock compounds in DMSO were serially twofold diluted (e.g. range from 50 to 0.097 μM final concentration) in 384 wells microtiter plates and inoculated with 49 μl the bacterial suspension in Iso-Sensitest medium to have a final cell concentration of ˜5×10(5) CFU/ml in a final volume/well of 50 ul/well. Microtiter plates were incubated at 35±2° C.
Bacterial cell growth was determined with the measurement of optical density at λ=600 nm each minutes over a time course of 16 h. Growth inhibition was calculated during the logarithmic growth of the bacterial cells with determination of the concentration inhibiting 50% (IC50) and 90% (IC90) of the growth.
Table 1 provides the 90% growth inhibitory concentrations (IC90) in micromoles per liter of the compounds of present invention obtained against the strain Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17978.
Table 2 provides the 90% growth inhibitory concentrations (IC90) in micromoles per liter of the compounds of present invention obtained against the strain Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17961.
Particular compounds of the present invention exhibit an IC90 (Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17961 or ATCC17978)≤25 μmol/l.
More particular compounds of the present invention exhibit an IC90 (Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17961 or ATCC17978)≤5 μmol/l.
Most particular compounds of the present invention exhibit an IC90 (Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17961 or ATCC17978)≤1 μmol/l.
Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and MIC90 Determination:
The MIC of antibacterial compounds against multiple species and strains was determined using the broth microdilution method according to M07-A10 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines (CLSI (2015) Methods for dilution antimicrobial susceptibility tests for bacteria that grow aerobically; Approved Standard, Tenth Edition. CLSI Document M7-A10 (ISBN 1-56238-987-4). Wayne, Pa.: Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, 19087, USA), using the appropriate broth medium. In short, the compound plates were prepared by dispensing 100 μl of each stock solution in the first well of a 96 well microtiter plate (MTP) at a concentration 100-fold higher than the final concentration desired in broth. Eleven serial 2-fold dilutions of the highest concentration were made in DMSO for new compounds and in water (or appropriate solution) for reference compounds (CLSI (2017) Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing; Twenty-Fifth Informational Supplement. CLSI Document M100-S27, CLSI, Wayne, Pa. 19087, USA). 1 μL of each well was transferred in a new MTP, which served as the test plate by subsequent inoculation. This bacterial suspension was prepared from strains that were first sub-cultured on agar plates and incubated for 18-24 hours as appropriate. Following incubation, the inoculum was prepared from isolated colonies and adjusted to 0.5 McFarland turbidity standard (1 to 2×108 Colony Forming Units (CFU)/mL) in 0.9% saline. The bacterial suspension was then diluted 1:200 in appropriate sterile medium and within 15 minutes 100 μL/well were dispensed. Negative controls (lack of bacterial cells) and growth control wells (lack of compound) were included in all plates. MTPs were incubated for 18-24 hours at 35±2° C. in ambient air. The MIC value of each compound, expressed as μg/mL, was determined as the lowest concentration required for complete growth inhibition (no visible growth). MIC90 and MIC50 values were defined as the lowest concentration of the antibacterial compound at which 90% and 50% of the strains were inhibited.
Table 3 provides the MIC's of particular compounds of the present invention obtained against the strain Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978, expressed as μg/mL.
