The present invention relates to position 12-substituted mutilin derivatives, novel mutilin analogues that exhibit strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria including various drug-resistant bacteria and are a potential treatment for infectious diseases.
Pleuromutilin is a diterpene compound isolated/identified from Pleurotus mutilus Sacc. in 1951 and from Pleurotuspasseckerianus Pil. in 1976 (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). The aglycone part of the compound is referred to as mutilin, which has a characteristic three-ring structure consisting of a highly functionalized eight-membered ring fused with a hydroindanone structure. Mutilin is structurally unique in that it contains 9 asymmetric carbon atoms.
Untreatable infectious diseases caused by drug-resistant bacteria have become a worldwide concern. Studies have demonstrated that pleuromutilin exhibits antimicrobial activity by inhibiting protein synthesis by ribosomes in bacteria. Thus, pleuromutilin serves as a useful lead compound in the search for therapeutic agents for the treatment of untreatable infectious diseases. Although Tiamulin™, a pleuromutilin derivative, has long been used in the treatment of infectious diseases in livestock, none of pleuromutilin or mutilin derivatives have ever been used to treat infectious diseases in human.
Mutilin compounds have attracted worldwide attention due to their strong microbial activity and unique chemical structure. Several groups have recently reported novel mutilin derivatives: One mutilin derivative described in Patent Document 1 is as follows:

Another mutilin derivative described in Patent Document 12 is as follows:
(wherein R1 is a substituted or unsubstituted 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring; and R2 is vinyl or ethyl). Each patent disclosed in each of these patent documents claims that each of the above-described mutilin derivatives includes at position 12 a vinyl group originating from a naturally occurring pleuromutilin, or an ethyl group resulting from the reduction of the vinyl group. Thus, mutilin derivatives that have a characteristic structure at position 12 a substituent other than a vinyl or ethyl group as shown in the present invention have never been reported, nor has their antimicrobial activity been described.
The following position 12-substituted mutilin derivatives or position 12-substituted 4-epimutilin derivatives are known. Specifically, Non-Patent Document 3 describes a 4-epimutilin derivative having a desetenyl substituent at position 12, as shown below:
Non-Patent Document 4 describes a 4-epimutilin derivative having a dimethyl substituent at position 12, as shown below:
Non-Patent Document 5 describes a pleuromutilin derivative in which the substituent at position 12 has the opposite stereochemistry to that of the naturally occurring pleuromutilin, as well as a pleuromutilin derivative having a cyclopropyl substituent at position 12, as shown below:
As with the compounds of the present invention, the substituents at position 12 of these mutilin derivatives or epimutilin derivatives are not a vinyl group originating from naturally occurring pleuromutilin or an ethyl group resulting from the reduction of the vinyl group. However, the compounds of the present invention include a cyclic amine structure bound via an acylcarbamoyl structure and in that sense differ from any of the previously reported compounds. Thus, the antimicrobial activity of the compounds of the present invention has never been described.
The following compounds are known as mutilin derivatives having the hydroxyl group at position 11 protected. Specifically, Non-Patent Document 6 describes a mutilin derivative as shown below:
The mutilin derivatives described in this article have an acetoxy, dichloroacetoxy or trifluoroacetoxy group at position 11. These known compounds are not encompassed by the scope of the present invention. The article does not mention any compounds that share common structural features with the compounds of the present invention—having at position 12 a substituent other than a vinyl group or an ethyl group and having at position 14 a cyclic amine structure bound via an acylcarbamoyl structure—much less the antimicrobial activity of such compounds.
The following antimicrobial mutilin derivatives are also known. Specifically, Non-Patent Document 7 describes a mutilin derivative having a carbamate substituent at position 14, as shown below:
The known mutilin derivatives described in Non-Patent Document 7 have at position 12 a vinyl group originating from naturally occurring pleuromutilin or an ethyl group resulting from the reduction of the vinyl group, and have a carbamoyl group at position 14. Thus, no compounds have been reported to date that have at position 12 a substituent other than a vinyl group or an ethyl group and that have at position 14 a cyclic amine structure bound via an acylcarbamoyl structure, nor has the antimicrobial activity of such compounds been described.
As described above, none of the previously described mutilin derivatives are desirable in terms of microbial activity, toxicity and kinetics within the body. Thus, there is a great need for mutilin derivatives that meet all of these requirements.

The compounds of the present invention include a plurality of asymmetric carbon atoms and may thus have a corresponding number of optical isomers. These optical isomers, as well as mixtures containing these isomers in any proportion, are also encompassed by the scope of the present invention.
The compounds of the present invention represented by the chemical formula (1) and salts thereof include any of intramolecular salts, adducts, solvates or hydrates thereof.
The compounds of the present invention or salts thereof can be used as a pharmaceutical composition either alone or in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary agents. Specifically, the compounds may be mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers/excipients (such as starches, lactose, calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate), lubricants (such as magnesium stearate, calcium stearate talc and stearic acid), binders (such as starches, crystalline cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, gum arabic, polyvinylpyrrolidone and alginic acid), disintegrating agents (such as talc and carboxymethylcellulose calcium) or diluents (such as physiological saline and aqueous solutions of glucose, mannitol and lactose) and may be formulated as tablets, capsules, granules, powders, fine powders, ampoules or injections for oral or parenteral administration. While the dose of the compounds of the chemical formula (1) according to the present invention may vary depending on the type of the compounds or salts thereof and the route of administration, as well as age, weight and the symptoms of patients, the compounds of the chemical formula (1) or salts thereof are typically administered to mammals, including humans, at a dose of 0.0001 to 1000 mg/kg/day in single or multiple doses.
The compounds of the chemical formula (1) according to the present invention can be produced, for example, by the following process involving the compound of the chemical formula (3) as a key intermediate:
The compound shown by the chemical formula (4) is a known compound and can be produced by processes described in Patent Document (EP 257741 (Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 63-39879), EP398617 (Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 03-63272), EP 398629 (Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 03-63280)) and Non-Patent Document (J. Med. Chem. 1991, 34, 2726-2735; Tetrahedron Lett. 1991, 32, 1241-1244; J. Med. Chem. 1992, 35, 911; J. Chem. Soc. Perkin I. 1991, 1091-1097; J. Org. Chem. 2001, 66, 2526-2529.).
In Step I, a 4-epimutilin derivative represented by the chemical formula (3) is produced from pleuromutilin by a known process (See, for example, Tetrahedron 1980, 36, 1807-1811.). A protective group is then introduced into the 4-epimutilin derivative at the hydroxyl group at position 14 to form a 4-epimutilin derivative represented by the chemical formula (3-1) protected at the hydroxyl group at position 14.

According to a two-step process described in literature (Tetrahedron 1980, 6, 1807-1811.), 4-epimutilin was produced from pleuromutilin. 2.00 g (5.98 mmol) of this product was dissolved in methylene chloride (50 mL). To this solution, 2.08 mL (12.0 mmol) diisopropylethylamine and 0.91 mL (12.0 mmol) chloromethyl methyl ether were sequentially added at 0° C. in an argon atmosphere. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 60 hours. Subsequently, the reaction mixture was poured into cold diluted aqueous citric acid. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL×3). The organic layers were combined, washed with saturated brine (20 mL), and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The dried product was then filtered and the solvent was removed. Purification of the residue by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=8:1) afforded 2.30 g of the title compound as a colorless oil (100% yield).
