Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to novel imidazopyrazine derivatives which exhibit antibacterial properties. Certain embodiments of the invention also relate 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 emergining pathogen with very limited treatment options.
A. baumannii is considered to be a serious threat by the US 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 persistance 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. baumanniii 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.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a compound of formula (I) as described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the compound of formula (I) is selected from:
In some embodiments, the compounds of formula (I) are isotopically-labeled by having one or more atoms therein replaced by an atom having a different atomic mass or mass number. Such isotopically-labeled (i.e., radiolabeled) compounds of formula (I) are considered to be within the scope of this disclosure. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds of formula (I) include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as, but not limited to, 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 13N, 15N, 15O, 17O, 18O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, 123I, and 125I, respectively. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of formula (I), for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e. 3H, and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. For example, a compound of formula (I) can be enriched with 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 90, 95, or 99 percent of a given isotope.
Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e. 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements.
Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as 11C, 18F, 15O and 13N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds of formula (I) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Examples as set out below using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed. In one embodiment, the present invention provides pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula (I) as described herein, especially pharmaceutically acceptable salts selected from hydrochlorides, fumarates, lactates (in particular derived from L-(+)-lactic acid), tartrates (in particular derived from L-(+)-tartaric acid) and trifluoroacetates. In yet a further particular embodiment, the present invention provides compounds according to formula (I) as described herein (i.e., as “free bases” or “free acids”, respectively).
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, 3rd Edition, Richard C. Larock. John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y. 2018). 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 temperature. 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 synthesis of the compound of formula (I) may, for example, be accomplished according to the general synthesis outlined in the following scheme.
a) Acids or esters II, wherein Y is NH2 or halogen and RA is H or alkyl, are commercially available or can readily be accessed by methods known in the art and can conveniently be reacted with imidazopyrimidine derivatives III, which are likewise commercially available or can readily be accessed by methods known in the art, to access intermediates IV. Depending on the varying substitution (II: Y═NH2 or halogen) it is convenient to react acids/esters II with the appropriate imidazopyrimidines derivative III (Z═NH2 or halogen and X=halogen or appropriately substituted aryl moiety) under metal catalysis reaction conditions or nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction conditions (as appropriate) to yield acids/esters IV.
b) Acid derivatives IV (RA═H), can be accessed from esters IV (RA=alkyl) upon saponification in the presence of a base. Examples of bases include: LiOH, NaOH and the like. Acid derivatives IV are conveniently reacted with an amine V, under varying coupling reaction conditions (coupling reaction conditions include: HATU, TBTU, and the like in the presence of a base, such as DIPEA, NEt3, and the like) to afford amides VI. Amines V (and their protected congeners) are commercially available, known in the art or prepared according to methods known in the art. In case X=appropriately substituted aryl ring, these derivatives VI might be the final desired imidazopyridazines derivatives I, or any protecting group might have to be cleaved under appropriate conditions to afford final imidazopyridazines derivatives I. These imidazopyridazines I might be the final desired compounds, however might be further derivatised to yield final imidazopyridazines derivatives I.
c) Amides VI (X=halogen) are conveniently reacted under metal catalysis, such as PdCl2(dppf)-CH2Cl2 adduct, Pd(PPh3)4, and the like and in the presence of a base, such as K3PO4, NaOtBu, and the like with the appropriate boronic acid or ester VII to afford imidazopyridazines derivatives I. These imidazopyridazines derivatives I might be the final desired compounds however any protecting group will have to be cleaved under appropriate conditions to afford final imidazopyridazines I. These imidazopyridazines I might be the final desired compounds, however might be further derivatised to yield final imidazopyridazines derivatives I.
