A preferred group of compositions of the invention contain as active agents compounds containing aryl ring systems, in cluding phenyl, naphthyl and anthracene ring systems, sub stituted by a carbon bound to an oxygen which is also bound to a nitrogen through a saturated carbon or carbon chain which may be substituted with halo, hydroxy, alkoxy, amino or alkylamino are disclosed, In preferred embodiments, the aryl ring system is further substituted by at least two halo substituents or halo-substituted substituents. Background of the Invention: The benefit from use of antibiotics as a means of treating infections has been increasingly compromised by the development of resistant strains of microorganisms. Most of the new drugs are derivatives of older compounds. It is necessary to develop new agents that will respond to the current needs for medicinals that will effectively control pathogenic microbial populations that are resistant to antibiotics. Halofantrine is a known antimalarial having a phenan threne ring system substituted by a carbon bound to an oxygen which is also bound to a nitrogen through a saturated

Example 1: To a solution of 2g of 10-(w-bromoacetyl)-2,7 5 dichlorophenanthrene in 25 ml of THF is added 2.9 g. of di n-heptylamine in 5 ml of THF at ambient temperature. After one hour, the THF is evaporated, the residue triturated with pentane, and filtered. The pentane residue is dissolved in EtOH/THF and reacted with 0.42 g of NaBH 4 for 1.5 hours. The 0 resulting reaction mixture is concentrated, the diluted with
H
2 H, extracted with Et 2 O, and acidified with gaseous HCl to yield the dichlorophenanthraceneaminoalcohol HCl salt. Several active agents of the invention were tested for activity against several infectious organisms. Some of the 5 methods used in testing are described below. Media: The strains were streaked on blood agar plates (trypti case soy broth containing 5% sheep cells). A single colony was isolated and grown in Mueller-Hinton Broth (MHB) as 0 recommended by the national Committee for Clinical Laborato ry Standards for rapidly growing bacteria. Candida species and related yeasts were isolated in a similar manner on brain-heart infusion agar (BHI). Susceptibility tests: 5 The antibiotic susceptibility profile of each strain was determined using standard microtiter dilution plates obtained from the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory at Ohio State University Hospitals. The Inocula were prepared by suspending a 4 hour log phase growth in MHB visually equal 0 in turbidity of an 0.5 McFarland standard. Inocula were further diluted and added to microdilution trays to achieve a final density of approximately 1 x 105 CFU/ml. The trays were incubated for 16 to 20 hours at 35"C. The highest dilution at which wells remained clear was considered to be 5 the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The MIC and minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) of the strains to the active agents were determined by two-fold WO 99/48461 PCT/US99/06494 13 dilutions in Mueller-Hinton broth. Susceptibility tests for ATCC-obtained microorganisms and clinical isolates of gram positive bacteria including methicillin-susceptible and resistant staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci and gram 5 negative bacteria, including Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomo nas, Hemophilus and Neisseria, were performed in microtiter plates as described above. Compounds of the invention were dissolved in 1 ml of methanol and stored in aliquots at -70*C. They were diluted 0 in Mueller-Hinton broth for final screening. Compositions were tested in 0.1 ml volumes by serial dilution in micro titer plates against Staphylococcus aureus methicillin sensitive ATCC 29213 and the methicillin-resistant wild type T67738, as described above. The T67738 was resistant to 5 most antimicrobial drugs, including ciprofloxacin. The most active compounds were studied further by time and dose-related killing curve analysis using large inocula (1 X 10 7 CFU/ml). The dosage and method of administration will depend on 0 the location of the infection, the condition of the patient and the availability of professional supervision. Methods of administration include parenteral, oral, buccal, nasal or endotracheal routes. The active agents may be administered as sprays. For nasal administration, the active agent may 5 be delivered as a powder that is snorted. Inclusion com plexes such as cyclodextrin inclusion complexes would be particularly useful for buccal administration of these active agents. The compounds of the invention may also be admin 0 istered topically by any means, including by rectal route. Suppositories, solutions for use as retention enemas, and creams or jellies are appropriate carriers for use in rectal administration. The agents may be administered directly to infected tissue. For example, in case of open wounds, the 5 active agents may be administered in the form of sprays or ointments. Compounds of the invention may be applied to the skin WO 99/48461 PCT/US99/06494 14 or mucosa, including the vaginal mucosa, using creams, jellies, suppositories, or solutions. The active agents of the invention may be delivered directly to the epithelial tissue topically. For example, during surgery compositions 5 containing the active agents of the invention to the applied directly to target tissues and prosthetic devices. The compositions could be given by aerosol into the trachea or administered in mist along with other agents into the respi ratory tract. 0 The compositions of the invention may also be used prophylactically to protect from infection by pathogenic organisms. Dosage forms containing about 25 to 1000 mg for admin istration by mouth are suggested for use in adults. Howev 5 er, because the condition and size of the patient and the infectring organisms may differ greatly, eventual dosage requirements must be adjusted by the physician. Hence, dosage suggestions are provided to give general guidance to those of skill in the art. In accord with the purposes of 0 providing such guidance, the following data is provided.
