Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the use of novel antibacterial compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Bacterial initiator methionyl tRNA is modified by methionyl tRNA formyltransferase (FMT) to produce formyl-methionyl tRNA. Formyl methionine (f-met) is therefore present at the N-termini of all newly synthesized polypeptides. Polypeptide deformylase (PDF) then deformylates primary translation products to produce N-methionyl polypeptides. Most intracellular proteins are further processed by methionine amino peptidase (MAP) to yield the mature peptide and free methionine, which is recycled. PDF and MAP are both essential for bacterial growth, and PDF is required for MAP activity. This series of reactions is referred to as the methionine cycle (FIG. 1).


To date, polypeptide deformylase homologous proteins have been found in bacteria, in chloroplast-containing plants, as well as in mouse and human mitochondria. The eukaryotic proteins are nuclear encoded but carry a chloroplast/mitochondria localisation signal. This is consistent with the observation that chloroplast/mitochondria RNA and protein synthesis processes are highly similar to those of eubacteria. While it has been proposed that deformylation is an essential function in the chloroplasts of higher plants (Serero, T., Giglione, C. and Meinnel, T. (2001). J. Mol. Biol., 314, 695-708), the information available to date shows that human mitochondrial PDF (Bayer Aktiengesellschaft, Pat. WO2001/42431) is not as active as its bacterial counterparts and its functional role in normal human cells, if any, has not been demonstrated (Nguyen, K. T., Xubo, H., Colton, C., Chakrabarti, R., Zhu, M. X. and Pei, D. (2003). Biochemistry, 42, 9952-9958; Serero, A., Giglione, C., Sardini, A., Martinez-Sanz, J. and Meinnel, T. (2003). J. Biol. Chem., 278, 52953-52963).


Polypeptide deformylase is found in all eubacteria for which high coverage genomic sequence information is available. Sequence diversity among PDF homologs is high, with as little as 20% identity between distantly related proteins. However, conservation around the active site is very high, with several completely conserved residues, including one cysteine and two histidines which are required to coordinate the active site metal (Meinnel, T. et al., J. Mol. Biol. 267, 749-761, 1997).


PDF is recognized to be an attractive antibacterial target, as this enzyme has been demonstrated to be essential for bacterial growth in vitro (Mazel, D. et al., EMBO J. 13 (4), 914-923, 1994), is not believed to be involved in eukaryotic protein synthesis (Rajagopalan et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 119, 12418-12419, 1997), and is universally conserved in prokaryotes (Kozak, M., Microbiol. Rev. 47, 1-45, 1983). Therefore PDF inhibitors can potentially serve as broad spectrum antibacterial agents.


Surprisingly the present inventors have discovered that co-administration of a PDF inhibitor and a macrolide antibiotic results in a synergistic effect. In other words, the MIC of PDF inhibitors is reduced in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of macrolide antibiotics, and vice versa, i.e. subinhibitory concentrations of PDF inhibitors decrease the MIC of macrolide antibiotics. The net result is that when a macrolide antibiotic and a PDF inhibitor are co-administered, much less concentration of both is needed to achieve the same anti-bacterial effect obtained by one agent (i.e. macrolide antibiotic or PDF inhibitor alone). Furthermore, the synergistic effect occurs for all pathogens, including, but not limited to, the genera of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Mycoplasma, Mycobacterium, Haemophilus, Moraxella, Escherichia, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Legionella, Chlamydia, Pseudomonas, Helicobacter, Neisseria, Proteus, Yersinia, Brucella, Borrelia, Treponema, Enterobacter, and Bordetella, and in particular, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention involves co-administration of a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof).


In another aspect, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present inventors have discovered that a PDF inhibitor when co-administered with a macrolide antibiotic can elicit a synergistic effect. In other words, the MIC of PDF inhibitors is reduced in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of macrolide antibiotics, and vice versa, i.e. subinhibitory concentrations of PDF inhibitors decrease the MIC of macrolide antibiotics. The net result is that when a macrolide antibiotic and a PDF inhibitor are co-administered, much less concentration of both is needed to achieve the same anti-bacterial effect obtained by one agent (i.e. macrolide antibiotic or PDF inhibitor alone). Such a synergistic effect occurs for all pathogens. Thus the present invention involves co-administration of a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof).


In another aspect, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof).


Any PDF inhibitors can be used as embodiment of this invention. However, in one preferred embodiment, the PDF inhibitors are compounds of formula (1) as described in WO 2003101442, published Dec. 11, 2003:

COMPOSITIONS, ADMINISTRATION AND BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS

The present invention contemplates co-administration of a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) in separate formulations or in a single composition containing both a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof).


A formulation (composition) containing a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and/or a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) may be administered in a standard manner for antibiotics, for example orally, parenterally, sub-lingually, dermally, transdermally, rectally, via inhalation or via buccal administration.


A composition containing a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and/or a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) when given orally can be formulated as syrups, tablets, capsules, creams and lozenges. A syrup formulation will generally consist of a suspension or solution of the compound(s) or salt(s) in a liquid carrier for example, ethanol, peanut oil, olive oil, glycerine or water with a flavoring or coloring agent. Where the composition is in the form of a tablet, any pharmaceutical carrier routinely used for preparing solid formulations may be used. Examples of such carriers include magnesium stearate, terra alba, talc, gelatin, acacia, stearic acid, starch, lactose and sucrose. Where the composition is in the form of a capsule, any routine encapsulation is suitable, for example, using the aforementioned carriers in a hard gelatin capsule shell. Where the composition is in the form of a soft gelatin shell capsule, any pharmaceutical carrier routinely used for preparing dispersions or suspensions may be considered, for example, aqueous gums, celluloses, silicates or oils, and incorporated in a soft gelatin capsule shell.


Typical parenteral compositions consist of a solution or suspension of a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and/or a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) in a sterile aqueous or non-aqueous carrier optionally containing a parenterally acceptable oil, for example, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, lecithin, arachis oil or sesame oil.


Typical compositions for inhalation are in the form of a solution, suspension or emulsion that may be administered as a dry powder or in the form of an aerosol using a conventional propellant such as dichlorodifluoromethane or trichlorofluoromethane.


A typical suppository formulation comprises a PDF inhibitor (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and/or a macrolide antibiotic (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or physiologically functional derivative thereof) with a binding and/or lubricating agent, for example, polymeric glycols, gelatins, cocoa-butter or other low melting vegetable waxes or fats or their synthetic analogs.


Typical dermal and transdermal formulations comprise a conventional aqueous or non-aqueous vehicle, for example, a cream, ointment, lotion or paste or are in the form of a medicated plaster, patch or membrane.


Preferably the composition is in unit dosage form, for example a tablet, capsule or metered aerosol dose, so that the patient may administer a single dose.


As used herein, the term “physiologically functional derivative” refers to any pharmaceutically acceptable derivative of a compound of the present invention, for example, an ester or an amide, which upon administration to a mammal is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) a compound of the present invention or an active metabolite thereof. Such derivatives are clear to those skilled in the art, without undue experimentation, and with reference to the teaching of Burger's Medicinal Chemistry And Drug Discovery, 5th Edition, Vol 1: Principles and Practice, which is incorporated herein by reference to the extent that it teaches physiologically functional derivatives.


As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute (in this invention, a compound of formula (1) or (2) or a salt or physiologically functional derivative thereof) and a solvent. Such solvents for the purpose of the invention may not interfere with the biological activity of the solute. Examples of suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, methanol, ethanol and acetic acid. Preferably the solvent used is a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent. Examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable solvents include, without limitation, water, ethanol and acetic acid. Most preferably the solvent used is water.


Typically, the salts of the present invention are pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Salts encompassed within the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to non-toxic salts of the compounds of this invention. Salts of the compounds of the present invention may comprise acid addition salts derived from a nitrogen on a substituent in the compound of formula (1) or (2). Representative salts include the following salts: acetate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bicarbonate, bisulfate, bitartrate, borate, bromide, calcium edetate, camsylate, carbonate, chloride, clavulanate, citrate, dihydrochloride, edetate, edisylate, estolate, esylate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glutamate, glycollylarsanilate, hexylresorcinate, hydrabamine, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroxynaphthoate, iodide, isethionate, lactate, lactobionate, laurate, malate, maleate, mandelate, mesylate, methylbromide, methylnitrate, methylsulfate, monopotassium maleate, mucate, napsylate, nitrate, N-methylglucamine, oxalate, pamoate (embonate), palmitate, pantothenate, phosphate/diphosphate, polygalacturonate, potassium, salicylate, sodium, stearate, subacetate, succinate, tannate, tartrate, teoclate, tosylate, triethiodide, trimethylammonium and valerate. Other salts, which are not pharmaceutically acceptable, may be useful in the preparation of compounds of this invention and these form a further aspect of the invention.


As used herein, the term “effective amount” means that amount of a drug or pharmaceutical agent that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought, for instance, by a researcher or clinician. Furthermore, the term “therapeutically effective amount” means any amount which, as compared to a corresponding subject who has not received such amount, results in improved treatment, healing, prevention, or amelioration of a disease, disorder, or side effect, or a decrease in the rate of advancement of a disease or disorder. The term also includes within its scope amounts effective to enhance normal physiological function.


Each dosage unit for oral administration contains suitable amounts, from 0.1 mg to 500 mg/Kg, and preferably from 1 mg to 100 mg/Kg, of a PDF inhibitor and a macrolide antibiotic, independently, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or physiologically functional derivatives thereof. Each dosage unit for parenteral administration contains suitable amounts, from 0.1 mg to 100 mg/Kg, of a PDF inhibitor and a macrolide antibiotic, independently, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or physiologically functional derivatives thereof. Each dosage unit for intranasal administration contains suitable amounts, 1-400 mg and preferably 10 to 200 mg per person, of a PDF inhibitor and a macrolide antibiotic, independently, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or physiologically functional derivatives thereof. A topical formulation contains suitably 0.01 to 5.0% of a PDF inhibitor and a macrolide antibiotic, independently, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or physiologically functional derivatives thereof.


The pharmaceutical formulation and co-administration (of a PDF inhibitor and a macrolide antibiotic) as discussed above relate to the treatment of all bacterial infections, including, but not limited to, the genera of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Mycoplasma, Mycobacterium, Haemophilus, Moraxella, Escherichia, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Legionella, Chliamydia, Pseudomonas, Helicobacter, Neisseria, Proteus, Yersinia, Brucella, Borrelia, Treponema, Enterobacter, and Bordetella, and in particular, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae.


A dosage unit may be administered from 1 to 6 times a day, sufficient to exhibit the desired activity.


No unacceptable toxicological effects are expected when compounds of the present invention are administered in accordance with the present invention.


The biological activity of the compounds within the scope of the invention are demonstrated by the following examples:
