Ncvertheless. nc~ classes of antimicrobial molecules with therapeutic potential are still required to provide treatment for pathogens that have or will becomc resistant to e.Yistin~ antimicrobial agents The problcm of resistant microorg~ni~ms has been kno~n since the firs~ uses of antibiotics in the 1 920s. but in the last decade the number of org~ni~m~ resist~nt to currently available 20 antimicrobials has increased at an accelerated rate. So alarming has been this increase in microbial resict~nce that many governmcnt and nongovernment scientific or~ni7:~tions have published guidelines and position statements to draw attention to this problem (see.
e.g.~ Lcderberg J. et al. Emerging Infections: Microbial threats to health in the United States. Washington. DC: National Academy Press. 199'').
~5 Preventing microbial infections can be accomplished bv vaccination (e.g.,pertussis. measles)~ physical isolation of infected individuals from the rest of the cornrnunity (e.g., tuberculosis. measles. chickenpox). personal cleanliness (e.g., salmonellosis). reducing personal lifestyle risks (e.~.. Hl~'. I lepatitis C). proper food h~n~ling (e.g., enterohemorrhagic E. coli 0157.~I7), disposal of waste (e.g., salmonella.
30 shigella. cholera), m~int~inin~ clean. fresh. potable water (e.g., cholera). or use of antimicrobial agents for prevention (e.g., malaria) or for treatment of active disease (e.g., meningitis. pneumonia).
Preventive measures, while critically important in controlling infectious diseases, are not 100% effective and therefore antimicrobial agents will always be very important 35 in treating or preventing infectious diseases. This is especially true with an ever exr~nfling population of citizens undergoing aggressive treatment for diseases which, as a consequence of the disease itself, or the treatment, are immune compromised (e.g.
cancer chemotherapy, systemic lupus. AIDS, transplantation).
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) W O 98/27969 PCT/C~97/00978 _ 5 _ Despiee a wide variety of antimicrobial agents effective against bacteria. fungi, viruses and parasites, resistance of these microorgAni~m~ to currently availableantibiotics is increasing. Several recent examples (by no means exhaustive) are I ) penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP); 2) methicillin-resistant 5 Stap~ylococctls aureus (MRSA); 3) vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE); 4) cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae; 5) malarial parasites resistant to chloroquine. mefloquine and other AntimAlArials; 6) fungi resistant to azoles, triazoles.
and amphotericin B: 7) herpes simplex virus resistant to acyclovir and related drugs: and 8) HIV resistant to zidovudine and other antiviral drugs. The skilled artisan will 10 appreciate that MRSA are actually multidrug resistant bacteria (not merely resistant to methicillin); however, for convenience, these orgAnicmc are referred to herein as MRSA.
Similarly~ multidrug resistant S. epidermidis is conventionallv referred to as methicillin-resistant S. epidermi~lis; the latter terminology is used herein for convenience.
The causes of drug resistance can varv from one organism to another and from I ~ one drug to another. For examplc. it is generallv accepted that MRS~ and VRE are resistant to beta-lactarns and glvcopeptides. respectively. due to alterations in cell-wall proteins.
The present invention provides a class of antimicrobial drugs that is not being widely used for the treatment of infcctions and which shows significant antimicrobial ~0 properties against a broad range of microorganisms. bacteria~ viruses~ fungi and parasites~ some of ~vhich are known to be highl~ resistant to currentl~ available antimicrobial a~,cnts. The invention also provides phenazinc compounds useful as anti-tumor agents. The phenazine compounds will pro- idc neu- therapeutic options for the treatment of infections~ both those susceptible and those resistant to currentl~ available ~5 antimicrobial agents.
For con-enience~ certain terrns used throughout the spécification and claims uhich follou are defined.
The terrn "microorganism" as used herein~ refer to microbes~ including disease-30 causing microbes~ such as bacteria~ yeast. fungi. viruses~ and parasites (such as thesporozoan malaria). (The terms "microbe" and "microorganism" are used interchangeably herein) As the skillcd artisan will appreciate, the efficacy of the ~ phenazine compounds of the invention against microorgAnism~ will vary; that is, not every phenazine compound will have activity against all microorgAni~m~. A phenazine 35 compound having activity against a particular microorganism can be selected through use of assays such as are known in the art, including the assays described herein.
The term "inhibiting the growth of a microorgAni~m~ll as used herein, refers to the process of preventing, arresting, slowing, or decreasing the growth of a selected SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) W O 98t27969 6 PCT/CAg7/00978 microorg~ni~m Thus, "inhibiting the growth of a microorganism" includes both destruction (i.e., killing~ of a microorg~ni~m, e.g., a microbial cell, and inactivation of a microbe, e.g., a virus, arresting, reducing or elimin~ting the ability of the microbe to grow, reproduce, or cause infection of a subject.

The term "effecti- e amount" is art-reco~nized. and. as used herein. refers to an amount of a phenazine compound which is effective to achie- e a desired result, e.g., 30 killing of a microbe. An "effecti~ e amount" of a particular phenazinc compound will vary according to such factors as the phenazine compound. the microorganism to be affected, the weight, age and condition of the sub3ect ~if any), and thc like. The skilled artisan will be able to determine an effective amount of a particular compound to achieve a particular result in accordance with standard practices of the ph~ eutical 35 art and the te~-:hings herein. In certain preferred embodiments, the phen~7ine compounds of the invention have a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of lessthan about 5 ,ug/mL, more preferably less than about 10 ~lg/mL. more preferably less than about 5 ~Lg/mL. and most preferably less than about I ,ug/mL~ against at least one SUBSTITUTE SHE T (RULE 26) selected microor~,qnism, preferably including a bacterium, which can be a drug-resistant bacterium.
The term "treating" is art-recognized, and. as used herein, refers to ameliorating or preventing a microbial infection and/or at least one symptom associated therewith.
S For exarnple, treating a subject includes eradicating or arresting a microbial infection in a subject, preventing or slowing infection of the subJect by a microore,qni~m decreasing the progression or extent of microbial infection in a sub~ect (e.g., the duration, severity, or extent of tissue infected), and the like.
The term "contacting," as used herein, refers to both in ~itro and in vivo 10 contacting. The term "targeting," as used herein. refers to causing a micro-organism to be treated. e.g., by contacting the microor~anism with a phenazine compound.

I-diqzine) nucleus, as wcll as analogs. deri-ativcs. and con_eners thereof: and salts thereof 15 (pref'erably pharmaceutically acceptable salts). Thus. the term "phert t~ine compound"
refers to the phenazine compounds set forth herein. includin~ nitrogen oxidcs ofphen,t~ines (referred to hcrein as "phenazinc N-oxides." and including phenazine-5-oxides, phenzine-10-oxides. and phenazinc-5~10-dioxides). Phenazine compounds can be substitutcd. e.g.. on thc phenyl rings, with one or more substitutents selected from the '~0 ~roup consisting of halogcn. all;yl. aryl, all;oxy. hydro.Yy. amino (including substituted amino), cyano, trifluoromethyl. carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl. aminocarbonyl, and the like.
Particularly preferred phenazine compounds include phenazine-l~'-oxides. including a phenazine 5-oxide. a phenazine-10-oxidc. or a phen~ine-5.10-dioxide. In certain preferred embodiments. the phenazine compound is a 7,8-disubstituted phenazine ~5 compound. including, without limitation. a 7.8-dimethylphenazine or a 7.8-dihalophenazine (e.g., a 7.8-dichlorophcnazine. such as 7.8-dichlorophenazine-5.10-dioxide). In certain preferred embodiments. the phenqzine is a l-hydro.Yyphenazine~
more preferablv a l-hydro:cyphenazine-5.10-dioxide.
A "drug-resistant microorganism" refers to a microorganism which is resistant to30 at least one drug which is commoniy used for treatment of infections caused by that microorg~tnicm, or which is effective against the ~vild-type microorganism. A
"multidrug resistant microorganism" is a microorganism which is resistant to two or more drugs. For example, many bacterial species have acquired resistance to older antimicrobial compounds such as penicillin. Other bacterial strains have acquired 35 resistance to all but a few of the drugs commonly used to combat infection; for example.
strains of Enterococcus spp. have been reported which are resistant to vancomycin, a preferred treatment for certain E~tterococcus spp. infections. The term "drug-resistant organism", as used herin. refers to any drug-resistant or multidrug resistant ore,qnism, SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) e.g., as described herein. A drug-resistant organism may be resistant to one or more drugs ~depending on the organism) selected from the group consisting of vancomycin (and related glycopeptides such as teichoplanin and ramnoplanin), ampicillin (and related beta-lactarns), aminoglycosides (such as gentarnicin, streptomycin, tobramycin, S arnikacin, and kanamycin), macrolides (such as erythromycin and chloramphenicol), tetracycline, metronid~ole, cephalosporins. carbapenems, monobactams, fluoroquinolones, ~oles, tri~oles. and arnphotericin Band the like.
Phenazine Compounds As early as 1860, the production of a blue pigment by the gram-negative bacillusPseudontonas aer2~ginosa has been described (Fordos. Compt. Rend. 1860;51 :215).This was deterrnined to be a phenzl7ine molccule called pyocyanin (1-hydroxy-5-methyl-phen~7ine). During the ensuing 137 years. the structure of many naturally occurring phen:-~inec. their physiochemical properties~ and their cffects on prokaryotic and 15 eul;aryotic cells have been described. More than 50 phen~inc compounds have been described in the scientific literature and cven more variously substituted phenazines havc been dcscribed in patents (J. Berger. "Microbial phen:l~ines" in Antibiotics, Chemotherapeutics Scientific. and Antibacterial Agents for Disease Control. M.
Grayson. Editor. John Wiley and Sons, New Yor~;. 1982. pp. ~55-275) Many ofthe 20 phen~7ines described are produced by microorg7~nicmc and these orE~nicmC are the sole source of naturally occurring phen~ines. A wide ran~e of organisms produce phe~7i~es including P.seudomonas spp.. Brel~i*acl~?riZ~m spp.. Soran~ n~ spp., .5~rep~om~ces spp.. .SrreplosorangiZ~n~ spp.. ~Iierohispora spp.. and IVorearc~iaeeae.
Some phenazines have been found to possess antimicrobial. antiviral. antifungal.~5 an~iparasitic. and/or antitumor activity. The degree of antimicrobial activity against selectcd pathogens is highly variable. depending upon the phen~ine structure (Weigele ~1. et al.. Antimicrobial A~ents and Chemotherapy. 1970~ 6-49; and Milchenko ~;.. et al.. Mikrobiol. Zh (Kie~). 1976;38(1)~ lowe-er. prior to the prescnt in~ention.
phenazines have not been tested against recent clinical isolates of pathogens that are 30 rcsistant to currently available antibiotics Chemical Charaeteristies of Phena in~s All phen~inf c include the dibenzo- 1,4-di~ine skeleton. Many substitutions have been described in the scientific literature or in patents. An important subgroup to 35 point out are the 5, 10-N, N-dioxides of phen~ine and rclated compounds which have been found to possess some of the greatest antimicrobial activity. However, other phen~?7ines, including 1-hydroxyphen~7ine and pyocyanin, which are simple phenazine derivatives~ also possess significant antimicrobial activity.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Some phenazines are freely soluble in water (e.g., pyoeyanin), while others are known for their insolubility in non-polar and polar organic solvents (e.g., iodinin, myxin). The phen~7ines possess important redox properties whieh eonfer upon them the ability to funetion as aeid-base indieators or to interaet with the eleetron transport chain 5 of mieroorg~ni~mc (Bissehop A, et al., European Journal of Bioehemistry. 1 g79; 93:369-374).
Biosynthesis of Phena7ines Many substituted phenazine eompounds ean be easily extraeted from baeterial 10 eulture broth, either from the supernatant or as an insoluble preeipitate. These biosynthesized phenazines ean be purified and. if not possessing antimierobial activity, modified chemically into a moleeule with antibiotie properties (Weigele M~ et al. ibid~
Gerber N. Bioehemistry 1965;4(1):176-180). The synthesis and purifieation of a wide variety of phen~7ine compounds is well within the ability of one having ordinary sl;ill in I ~ the art using no more than routine experimentation.
The genetics of phenazine biosynthesis have been examined. and the phz R
(phe~ 7ine regulator) operon ha.s been cloned ~nd sequenced and shown to eontrolphenazine pigment production in response to environrnental stimuli (Pierson LS III~
lieppenne VD and Wood DW, Journal Bacteriology 1994; 176(13):396-374: and 20 Pierson LSII and Thomashow LS~ Mol. Plant. Mierobe. Interact 1992;5:330-339).
Antihiotic ~ffec~s of Phencl_ines It has been known for over 100 years that cenain phen~7ine compounds possess antimicrobial activity. Antibiotic activity has been deseribed against Gram positi- e and 25 Gram negative baeteria. as well as fungi~ yeasts~ viruses and p~rasites (Berger~ J.~ 1982 ibid: Bouchard C.C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris; 1888: 108:713; and Emmerlich R.. and Loeu O.~ Zbl. B~;t. 1899; 26:237). Hayes et al. isolated a crude e.~;tract of ~'seuc~omonas acru~inosa cultures that included pyocvanin (Hayes et al.~ Journal of BiologiealChemistry 1945). They showed that pyocyanin had antimicrobial acti- ity ~vhen 30 ~tlministered or~lly, subeutaneously and intravenously. Other studes from 1924 to 1989 have shown that pyoeyanin ean be purified from ~seudomonas aeruginosa eulture supernatants and that pyoeyanin has antibiotic activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, ~Streptococcus pyogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Yersinia pestis, and 35 Salmonella t~phimurium (Schoentel R.. Brit. J. Exp. Pathol., 1941; 22:137-147; Chang PC and Blackwood AC, Can J. Microbiol., 1969; 15:439; Baron, S., Rowe, J.~
Antimicrobial Agents Chemother, 1981; 20:814-820). Miee have been shown to tolerate 100 mg/kg intraperitoneally of pyocyanin. Pyocyanin is bactericidal. A closely related SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) degradation product of pyocyanin, 1 -hydroxyphenazine (1 -HP), also known as hemipyocyanin, has been shown to possess activity against Baeillus subtilis, Staphyloeoccus aureus, and Candida albieans, at concentrations ranging from 10 to 100 ,~Lg/ml. T imite~l toxicity data suggests 1-hydroxyphenazine is less toxic in animals than 5 pyocyanin, where mice tolerated 10 mg intraperitoneal injections and chicken heart fibroblasts did not show toxic effects at 0.1 mg/ml of 1-HP ~Gerber. N., J. Org. Chem.
1967; 32:4055; ~choentel, R., Br. J. Exp. Pathol. 1941).
Iodinin was first isolated as a purple pigment in 193~ from a culture of Brevibaeterium iodinum This phenazine compound possesses the structure of 10 phenazine-5, 10-N. N-dioxide. Many substituted forrns of this basic skeleton have been described. some with signficant antimicrobial activity (Weigele. M., Antimicrobial Agents in Chemotherapy, 1971). Iodinin is notoriously insoluble in aqueous solution unless sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid is added. Iodinin is easily produced from cultures of Br~ibacterium iodinum, .S~rep-on~vcc s t~liolutes, ~I 'aksn~ania aerata~

Iodinin is itself a weak antibiotic with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC)against Staphvlococcus aureus, E coli ~seudomonas aen-ginosa and Candida albicans 20 greater than 100 ~lg/ml, although some reviews cite a MIC of 0.08-0.5 ~lg/ml against Corynebacterium fimi (Weigelc, M., 1971 ~ Ber~er. J .. 1982) . Iodinin has not been used as an antibiotic in animal studies. It has been tested as an antihypertensive at doses of 0.1 -300 m~ll;g body weight orally in humans. althou~h it has nevcr been brought to marl~et as a treatment for hypcrtension. The LD50 is reported to be greater than I g/kg '~5 bodv weight (Jones, P. and Somani, P, U.S. Patent 3,764.679, October 9, 1973 to Abbott Laboratories ).
Myxin has been marketed as an antibiotic. although it is currently no lon~er produced. Mvxin. the l-methoxy deri-ative of iodinin. uas described in Canada as a product of Sorangium sp (strain 3C~ in 1966 (Peterson EA, Gillespie, DC, Cook FD, 30 Can. J. Microbiol. 1966; 1 :~21-230). It was shown to have a very broad spectrum of action against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria as well as many fungi and plant pathogens (Peterson EA, et al., 1966, Weigele, M., 1971). ~inimllm inhibitory concentrations against Streptoeoeez~s agalactia~, Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli are less than 4 llg/ml, and against Candida albicans, I X ~lg/ml. Myxin is bactericidal.
35 Myxin was produced as a copper complex and form~ ted for topical use in veterinary skin infections. Unfortunately, myxin shows significant toxicity in mice with an LD50 of 40 mg/kg inll~peli~oneally~ 3.75 mg/kg intraperitoneally in mice was not effective SUBSl-ITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) W O 98/27969 ~ PCT/CA97/00978 against bacterial infections. However~ a topical cupric complex of mycin was found to be useful in bacterial and fungal pyoderma in f~nim~l.s.
~ ome 30 derivatives of iodinin and myxin have been described, several of which have significant antimicrobial activity, while others do not. Of particular interest are the 5 1 -methyl and I -methoxy derivatives of phenazine-5, 1 0-N,N-dioxide. which. according to Weigele, M. et al., possess antimicrobial activity equal to or exceeding that of myxin.
Lomofungin (also known as lomondomycin), the 6-formyl trihydro-l-carboxyphena_ine derivative~ with many highly substituted derivatives~ has been described (Bigge, C.F.~ et al.. U.S. Patent 4~657,909. April 14. 1987, Warner-Lambert 10 Company). A wide variety of compounds synthesized using the lomofungin nucleus is described in the above mentioned patent; however. the antimicrobial activity is not especially high. being up to 1000 times less potent than that of the phena_ines mentioned previously.
Griseolutein ~ and B. products o f Streprom~ cc.s griscollltet~.s. are also known to 15 have antibiotic activit~ although griseolutin B is more potent (Tausig~ F.~ Wolf. FJ.

J. Antibiot. 1964; 17:33) Griscolutein E3 has documented inhibitory conccntrations against ~. coli of 11 ~lg/ml. S. aureu.s of 0.~ ~lg/ml and Salmonellc~ ~allinarium of 0.7 20 g/ml. Interestingly, griseolutein B has documented efficacv in treating S. ~ ureus infections in mice~ with effective doses of 0.95 mg/kg intraperitoneally, ~3.5 mg subcutaneously and 850 m~ orall~ . The diacetyl derivative of yiseolutein B is 5 times more active against Stap~locc)ccz~s atJret(.s infections by thc oral routc than griseolutein B itself.
-Phena_ine Deri-atives For 7rearntent of AIicrohial I~?fection It has now been found that phe~7ine compounds are active antimicrobial agents against a variet~ of dru~-resistant organisms. and that certain phen~7ines are also active against wild-type microorganisms. We have tested selected strains of bacteria that 30 commonly cause human infection against several representativc phenazine compounds.
As described in more detail below (see. e.L~,., Examples 8 and 9, infra) phena_ine compounds of the invention are active antimicrobial compounds against a variety of microbes, including drug-resistant bacteria. fungi, molds, and the like.
The compounds of the invention can also be employed for purposes such as 35 selective gut decont"rnin~tion. Gut decont~min~tion is useful for preventing microbial infections in immunosuppressed patients; for example. a patient about to receivechemotherapy can be treated with a phenazine compound of the invention to decont~min~te the gut, to thereby prevent infection by gut pathogens after the patient has SUBSTITUTE Sl IEET (RULE 26) received chemotherapy. In this embodiment. it is preferred to use a phenazine compound which are not significantly absorbed through the gastrointestin~l wall, this increases the effective concentration, and therefore the apparent potency, of the ph~n~7ine compound in the gastrointestinal tract.
It would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art in light of the te~hings herein, that phenazine compounds which are not significantly absorbed through the gastroint.ostin~l wall, but rather are retained at or near the mucosa~ would be useful for the treatment of infections due to microorg~ni~mc which cause gastrointestinal diseases.
including, without limitation, C. dif~icile (diarrhea and colitis) and H pylori (gastric and duodenal ulcers).
In a related embodiment~ topical application of a phenazinc compound according to the invention, can be used to decont:~min~te the mouth, throat~ and upper rcspiratory tract to prevent microbial infection. For example~ infection bv microorg~nicm~ resident in the mouth can result in pneumonia in a susceptible indi- idual. especially if the patient is recei~ing respiratory support from a ventilator.
It has been found by the present invcntors that phenazine N-oxides te.g.~
phenazine-5-oxides. phenazine- I 0-oxides. and phen zine-5. 1 0-dioxidcs) are of ~en more active against microorg~ni~ms than the corresponding phenazines. Accordingl~. in a preferred embodiment. a phenazine compound of the invention is a phen~7ine-N-oxide, most preferably a phenazine-5~ 1 0-dioxide.
Without wishing to be bound by any theor~ it is believed th~t the phenazine compounds of the invention may exert an antimicrobial acti- ity at least in part due to the ability of phenazine compounds to undergo electron transfer rcactions, ~vhich rcsult in the forrnation of toxic activc oxygen species at thc site of action in ~ o. with rcsultant darnage to infcctious microorg~ni~mc (see~ e.g.~ I' W. Crawford et al. Chem. Biol.
Interact. ( 1986) 60:67-84~. The ability of a phenazinc compound to undergo clectroreduction in Vil~O may therefore bc correlated ~~ith the antimicrobial activit~ of thc phPn~ine compound (compounds with more positi~e rcduction polenti~ and which show rcversible reduction waves~ are often found to have greater antimicrobial activit~ ).
Accordingly~ in certain preferred embodiments~ a phenazine compound of the invention can be substituted, e.g., on the phenazine nucleus~ with a substituent(s) which increases the ability of the phenazine compound to be reduced in vivo. For exa~nple, in certain preferred embodiments, a phen~7ine compound of the invention includes at least one substituent which is capable of stabilizing a radical cation (e.g., of a phenazine) or radical anion ~e.g., of a phenazine-5, 1 0-dioxide, see, e.g., M.D. Ryan et al. J Pharm.
Sci. ( 1985) 74:492) resulting from a one-electron reduction of the phenazine nucleus.
Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that such a radical anion (e.g., of a phenazine-S~ 1 0-dioxide) may be able to transfer electrons in a catalytic manner.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET ~RULE 26) Illustratively, the phen~7ine nucleus can be substituted, at the 7 and/or 8-positions, with electron-withdrawing substituents (such as, e.g., halogens, including fluoro, chloro~ bromo, and iodo), or methyl groups. Other groups which change the electron distribution of the ring structure are also acceptable. Especially preferrecl S embodiments of the invention are phenazine N-oxides which are substituted at the 7 and/or 8 positions. including, without limitation, a 7,8-dimethylphenazine or a 7,8-dihalophenazine (e.g., a 7,8-dichlorophenazine. such as 7,8-dichlorophenazine-5,10-dioxide). It is believed that substituents at the 7 and 8 positions of the phenazine ring system may reduce toxicity of the compounds in vivo (possibly analogous to toxic10 structure-function relationships of riboflavins) while ret~ining antimicrobial activity.
In certain preferred embodiments. the phenazine is a l-hydroxyphenazine. morc preferablv a l -hydroxyphen~zine-5~ 1 0-dioxidc. Without ~vishing to be bound bv any theory. it is belie~cd that the I -hydroxy group of a I -hydroxyphenazine- 1 0-oxide (or 5.1 0-dioxide ) mav interact with the 1 0-o:;idc oxygen atom to thereby render the 15 compound more bioacti-~e. possihl~ by enhancing charge transfer through hvdrogen bonding. Similarly, a 6-hvdroxy group may interact with the ~-oxide oxygen atom to enhance charge transfer Thus. in preferred embodiments. a phen~7ine compound useful in thc methods of the invention can be represented hy the structure:

In certain embodiments, at least one occurrence of X is oxygen; in particularly preferred embodiments. both occurrences of X are oxygen (i.e.. the compound is aphenazine-5.10-dioxide). In preferred embodiments, n is at least 1, and one occurrence of R4 is a l-hydroxy group (i.e., the compound is a 1 -hydroxyphenazine (optionally a I -SUBSTITUTE SHEET(RULE26) W O 98/27969 ~4 rCT/CAg7/0~978 hydroxyphenazine-N-oxide)).

In ~r~ d embodiments, m and n are each 0 (i.e., the phenazine compound can S be substituted at the 7 and/or 8-positions, but is other~vise unsubstituted). Exemplary prefc~ d phen~ine compounds include 7,8-dichlorophenazine-5,10-dioxide (P5) and 7,8-dimethylphPn~7in~-5, 1 0-dioxide (P6).
It will be understood that a particular phen~7ine compound can be selected according to several criteria~ which will be routine to onc of ordinary skill in the art in 10 view of the teachings provided herein. For e:Yample. as described above. certain substituents on the phenazine nucleus are preferred to increase the antimicrobial potency of the phenazinc compound. In addition. substituents of the phenazine nucleus can be selected to improve thc solubility of the compound (e.g., by substitution with hydrophilic substituents such as amino. carbo.~;y, hydro.Yy. and the like). to improve the 15 biodistribution of the compound. and the like. One of o}dinar! sliill in the art will be able to select an appropriate phenazine compound using no more than routine experimentation in light of the teachings hcrein.
Moreover. the ef~lcacy of a particular phen~ine compound can be deterrnined.
e.g., by routine screening, e.g.. such as described infra. An effective antimicrobial 20 compound can therefore be readil~ selected for use against a selected microorganism of interest. ~ctivity of certain l;nown antibiotics is related to the ability of the antibiotic to forrn mctal complexes with metal ions; accordingl~. in certain embodiments. a phen~inP compound of the in~ ention is capable of forming a metal comple.~ (e.g., ~vith a metal center such as calcium. magnesium. zinc. iron. m~ng:~ncse, or copper) and/or is 25 ~ minictered to a subject in the form of a metal complex.
It has been found that the phenazine compounds of thc invention are active against bacteria (both Gram-positi~e and Gram-negative), including drug-resistant strains of bacteria. It is believed that the compounds of the in~ention are also acti~e against fungi, yeasts, parasites, and the like. Compounds of the invention exhibit both 30 bacteriostatic activit~,~ (i.e.. inhibit the ~rov.,th of a bacterium without l;illing the bacterium) and bactericidal activity (i.c.. killing the bacterial cell). In a preferred embodiment, a phPn~7in~ compound of the invention is ~lminictPred to a subject to have a bactericidal effect on the microorganism.
It has been found in preliminary experiments that phPn~7ine compounds 35 described herein are capable of inhibiting the growth of a hurnan tumor cell line in cell culture. Accordingly, the phen~7in~ compounds described herein are useful for inhibiting the growth of tumors and tumor cells. eithcr in vitro (ex vivo) or in vivo. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for treating a subject having a tumor.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The method includes ~tlmini~tering to the subjeet an effective (preferably non-toxie) anti-tumor arnount of a phen~7ine compound, such that the tumor is treated.

Detailed Description of thc Invention Antimicrobial drugs are the mainstay of treatment and control of infectious diseases in hnm~n~ and ~nim~l~. Antimicrobial agen~s have been ei7ec~ e against all 15 classes of pathogens: bacteria~ fungi, viruses and parasites. Ncvertheless. nc~ classes of antimicrobial molecules with therapeutic potential are still required to provide treatment for pathogens that have or will becomc resistant to e.Yistin~ antimicrobial agents The problcm of resistant microorg~ni~ms has been kno~n since the firs~ uses of antibiotics in the 1 920s. but in the last decade the number of org~ni~m~ resist~nt to currently available 20 antimicrobials has increased at an accelerated rate. So alarming has been this increase in microbial resict~nce that many governmcnt and nongovernment scientific or~ni7:~tions have published guidelines and position statements to draw attention to this problem (see.
e.g.~ Lcderberg J. et al. Emerging Infections: Microbial threats to health in the United States. Washington. DC: National Academy Press. 199'').
~5 Preventing microbial infections can be accomplished bv vaccination (e.g.,pertussis. measles)~ physical isolation of infected individuals from the rest of the cornrnunity (e.g., tuberculosis. measles. chickenpox). personal cleanliness (e.g., salmonellosis). reducing personal lifestyle risks (e.~.. Hl~'. I lepatitis C). proper food h~n~ling (e.g., enterohemorrhagic E. coli 0157.~I7), disposal of waste (e.g., salmonella.
30 shigella. cholera), m~int~inin~ clean. fresh. potable water (e.g., cholera). or use of antimicrobial agents for prevention (e.g., malaria) or for treatment of active disease (e.g., meningitis. pneumonia).
Preventive measures, while critically important in controlling infectious diseases, are not 100% effective and therefore antimicrobial agents will always be very important 35 in treating or preventing infectious diseases. This is especially true with an ever exr~nfling population of citizens undergoing aggressive treatment for diseases which, as a consequence of the disease itself, or the treatment, are immune compromised (e.g.
cancer chemotherapy, systemic lupus. AIDS, transplantation).
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) W O 98/27969 PCT/C~97/00978 _ 5 _ Despiee a wide variety of antimicrobial agents effective against bacteria. fungi, viruses and parasites, resistance of these microorgAni~m~ to currently availableantibiotics is increasing. Several recent examples (by no means exhaustive) are I ) penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRSP); 2) methicillin-resistant 5 Stap~ylococctls aureus (MRSA); 3) vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE); 4) cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae; 5) malarial parasites resistant to chloroquine. mefloquine and other AntimAlArials; 6) fungi resistant to azoles, triazoles.
and amphotericin B: 7) herpes simplex virus resistant to acyclovir and related drugs: and 8) HIV resistant to zidovudine and other antiviral drugs. The skilled artisan will 10 appreciate that MRSA are actually multidrug resistant bacteria (not merely resistant to methicillin); however, for convenience, these orgAnicmc are referred to herein as MRSA.
Similarly~ multidrug resistant S. epidermidis is conventionallv referred to as methicillin-resistant S. epidermi~lis; the latter terminology is used herein for convenience.
The causes of drug resistance can varv from one organism to another and from I ~ one drug to another. For examplc. it is generallv accepted that MRS~ and VRE are resistant to beta-lactarns and glvcopeptides. respectively. due to alterations in cell-wall proteins.
The present invention provides a class of antimicrobial drugs that is not being widely used for the treatment of infcctions and which shows significant antimicrobial ~0 properties against a broad range of microorganisms. bacteria~ viruses~ fungi and parasites~ some of ~vhich are known to be highl~ resistant to currentl~ available antimicrobial a~,cnts. The invention also provides phenazinc compounds useful as anti-tumor agents. The phenazine compounds will pro- idc neu- therapeutic options for the treatment of infections~ both those susceptible and those resistant to currentl~ available ~5 antimicrobial agents.

The term "effecti- e amount" is art-reco~nized. and. as used herein. refers to an amount of a phenazine compound which is effective to achie- e a desired result, e.g., 30 killing of a microbe. An "effecti~ e amount" of a particular phenazinc compound will vary according to such factors as the phenazine compound. the microorganism to be affected, the weight, age and condition of the sub3ect ~if any), and thc like. The skilled artisan will be able to determine an effective amount of a particular compound to achieve a particular result in accordance with standard practices of the ph~ eutical 35 art and the te~-:hings herein.

I-diqzine) nucleus, as wcll as analogs. deri-ativcs. and con_eners thereof: and salts thereof 15 (pref'erably pharmaceutically acceptable salts). Thus. the term "phert t~ine compound"
refers to the phenazine compounds set forth herein. includin~ nitrogen oxidcs ofphen,t~ines (referred to hcrein as "phenazinc N-oxides." and including phenazine-5-oxides, phenzine-10-oxides. and phenazinc-5~10-dioxides). Phenazine compounds can be substitutcd. e.g.. on thc phenyl rings, with one or more substitutents selected from the '~0 ~roup consisting of halogcn. all;yl. aryl, all;oxy. hydro.Yy. amino (including substituted amino), cyano, trifluoromethyl. carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl. aminocarbonyl, and the like.
Particularly preferred phenazine compounds include phenazine-l~'-oxides. including a phenazine 5-oxide. a phenazine-10-oxidc. or a phen~ine-5.10-dioxide. In certain preferred embodiments. the phenazine compound is a 7,8-disubstituted phenazine ~5 compound. including, without limitation. a 7.8-dimethylphenazine or a 7.8-dihalophenazine (e.g., a 7.8-dichlorophcnazine. such as 7.8-dichlorophenazine-5.10-dioxide).

A "drug-resistant microorganism" refers to a microorganism which is resistant to30 at least one drug which is commoniy used for treatment of infections caused by that microorg~tnicm, or which is effective against the ~vild-type microorganism. A
"multidrug resistant microorganism" is a microorganism which is resistant to two or more drugs. For example, many bacterial species have acquired resistance to older antimicrobial compounds such as penicillin. Other bacterial strains have acquired 35 resistance to all but a few of the drugs commonly used to combat infection; for example.
strains of Enterococcus spp. have been reported which are resistant to vancomycin, a preferred treatment for certain E~tterococcus spp. infections. The term "drug-resistant organism", as used herin. refers to any drug-resistant or multidrug resistant ore,qnism, SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) e.g., as described herein. A drug-resistant organism may be resistant to one or more drugs ~depending on the organism) selected from the group consisting of vancomycin (and related glycopeptides such as teichoplanin and ramnoplanin), ampicillin (and related beta-lactarns), aminoglycosides (such as gentarnicin, streptomycin, tobramycin, S arnikacin, and kanamycin), macrolides (such as erythromycin and chloramphenicol), tetracycline, metronid~ole, cephalosporins. carbapenems, monobactams, fluoroquinolones, ~oles, tri~oles. and arnphotericin Band the like.
Phenazine Compounds As early as 1860, the production of a blue pigment by the gram-negative bacillusPseudontonas aer2~ginosa has been described (Fordos. Compt. Rend. 1860;51 :215).This was deterrnined to be a phenzl7ine molccule called pyocyanin (1-hydroxy-5-methyl-phen~7ine). During the ensuing 137 years. the structure of many naturally occurring phen:-~inec. their physiochemical properties~ and their cffects on prokaryotic and 15 eul;aryotic cells have been described. More than 50 phen~inc compounds have been described in the scientific literature and cven more variously substituted phenazines havc been dcscribed in patents (J. Berger. "Microbial phen:l~ines" in Antibiotics, Chemotherapeutics Scientific. and Antibacterial Agents for Disease Control. M.
Grayson. Editor. John Wiley and Sons, New Yor~;. 1982. pp. ~55-275) Many ofthe 20 phen~7ines described are produced by microorg7~nicmc and these orE~nicmC are the sole source of naturally occurring phen~ines. A wide ran~e of organisms produce phe~7i~es including P.seudomonas spp.. Brel~i*acl~?riZ~m spp.. Soran~ n~ spp., .5~rep~om~ces spp.. .SrreplosorangiZ~n~ spp.. ~Iierohispora spp.. and IVorearc~iaeeae.
Some phenazines have been found to possess antimicrobial. antiviral. antifungal.~5 an~iparasitic. and/or antitumor activity. The degree of antimicrobial activity against selectcd pathogens is highly variable. depending upon the phen~ine structure (Weigele ~1. et al.. Antimicrobial A~ents and Chemotherapy. 1970~ 6-49; and Milchenko ~;.. et al.. Mikrobiol. Zh (Kie~). 1976;38(1)~ lowe-er. prior to the prescnt in~ention.
phenazines have not been tested against recent clinical isolates of pathogens that are 30 rcsistant to currently available antibiotics Chemical Charaeteristies of Phena in~s All phen~inf c include the dibenzo- 1,4-di~ine skeleton. Many substitutions have been described in the scientific literature or in patents. An important subgroup to 35 point out are the 5, 10-N, N-dioxides of phen~ine and rclated compounds which have been found to possess some of the greatest antimicrobial activity. However, other phen~?7ines, including 1-hydroxyphen~7ine and pyocyanin, which are simple phenazine derivatives~ also possess significant antimicrobial activity.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Some phenazines are freely soluble in water (e.g., pyoeyanin), while others are known for their insolubility in non-polar and polar organic solvents (e.g., iodinin, myxin). The phen~7ines possess important redox properties whieh eonfer upon them the ability to funetion as aeid-base indieators or to interaet with the eleetron transport chain 5 of mieroorg~ni~mc (Bissehop A, et al., European Journal of Bioehemistry. 1 g79; 93:369-374).
Biosynthesis of Phena7ines Many substituted phenazine eompounds ean be easily extraeted from baeterial 10 eulture broth, either from the supernatant or as an insoluble preeipitate. These biosynthesized phenazines ean be purified and. if not possessing antimierobial activity, modified chemically into a moleeule with antibiotie properties (Weigele M~ et al. ibid~
Gerber N. Bioehemistry 1965;4(1):176-180). The synthesis and purifieation of a wide variety of phen~7ine compounds is well within the ability of one having ordinary sl;ill in I ~ the art using no more than routine experimentation.
The genetics of phenazine biosynthesis have been examined. and the phz R
(phe~ 7ine regulator) operon ha.s been cloned ~nd sequenced and shown to eontrolphenazine pigment production in response to environrnental stimuli (Pierson LS III~
lieppenne VD and Wood DW, Journal Bacteriology 1994; 176(13):396-374: and 20 Pierson LSII and Thomashow LS~ Mol. Plant. Mierobe. Interact 1992;5:330-339).
Antihiotic ~ffec~s of Phencl_ines It has been known for over 100 years that cenain phen~7ine compounds possess antimicrobial activity. Antibiotic activity has been deseribed against Gram positi- e and 25 Gram negative baeteria. as well as fungi~ yeasts~ viruses and p~rasites (Berger~ J.~ 1982 ibid: Bouchard C.C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris; 1888: 108:713; and Emmerlich R.. and Loeu O.~ Zbl. B~;t. 1899; 26:237). Hayes et al. isolated a crude e.~;tract of ~'seuc~omonas acru~inosa cultures that included pyocvanin (Hayes et al.~ Journal of BiologiealChemistry 1945). They showed that pyocyanin had antimicrobial acti- ity ~vhen 30 ~tlministered or~lly, subeutaneously and intravenously.

Iodinin was first isolated as a purple pigment in 193~ from a culture of Brevibaeterium iodinum This phenazine compound possesses the structure of 10 phenazine-5, 10-N. N-dioxide. Many substituted forrns of this basic skeleton have been described. some with signficant antimicrobial activity (Weigele. M., Antimicrobial Agents in Chemotherapy, 1971). Iodinin is notoriously insoluble in aqueous solution unless sodium hydroxide or sulfuric acid is added. Iodinin is easily produced from cultures of Br~ibacterium iodinum, .S~rep-on~vcc s t~liolutes, ~I 'aksn~ania aerata~

Iodinin is itself a weak antibiotic with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC)against Staphvlococcus aureus, E coli ~seudomonas aen-ginosa and Candida albicans 20 greater than 100 ~lg/ml, although some reviews cite a MIC of 0.08-0.5 ~lg/ml against Corynebacterium fimi (Weigelc, M., 1971 ~ Ber~er. J .. 1982) . Iodinin has not been used as an antibiotic in animal studies. It has been tested as an antihypertensive at doses of 0.1 -300 m~ll;g body weight orally in humans. althou~h it has nevcr been brought to marl~et as a treatment for hypcrtension. The LD50 is reported to be greater than I g/kg '~5 bodv weight (Jones, P. and Somani, P, U.S. Patent 3,764.679, October 9, 1973 to Abbott Laboratories ).
Myxin has been marketed as an antibiotic. although it is currently no lon~er produced. Mvxin. the l-methoxy deri-ative of iodinin. uas described in Canada as a product of Sorangium sp (strain 3C~ in 1966 (Peterson EA, Gillespie, DC, Cook FD, 30 Can. J. Microbiol. 1966; 1 :~21-230). It was shown to have a very broad spectrum of action against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria as well as many fungi and plant pathogens (Peterson EA, et al., 1966, Weigele, M., 1971). ~inimllm inhibitory concentrations against Streptoeoeez~s agalactia~, Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli are less than 4 llg/ml, and against Candida albicans, I X ~lg/ml. Myxin is bactericidal.
35 Myxin was produced as a copper complex and form~ ted for topical use in veterinary skin infections. Unfortunately, myxin shows significant toxicity in mice with an LD50 of 40 mg/kg inll~peli~oneally~ 3.75 mg/kg intraperitoneally in mice was not effective SUBSl-ITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) W O 98/27969 ~ PCT/CA97/00978 against bacterial infections. However~ a topical cupric complex of mycin was found to be useful in bacterial and fungal pyoderma in f~nim~l.s.
~ ome 30 derivatives of iodinin and myxin have been described, several of which have significant antimicrobial activity, while others do not. Of particular interest are the 5 1 -methyl and I -methoxy derivatives of phenazine-5, 1 0-N,N-dioxide. which. according to Weigele, M. et al., possess antimicrobial activity equal to or exceeding that of myxin.
Lomofungin (also known as lomondomycin), the 6-formyl trihydro-l-carboxyphena_ine derivative~ with many highly substituted derivatives~ has been described (Bigge, C.F.~ et al.. U.S. Patent 4~657,909. April 14. 1987, Warner-Lambert 10 Company). A wide variety of compounds synthesized using the lomofungin nucleus is described in the above mentioned patent; however. the antimicrobial activity is not especially high. being up to 1000 times less potent than that of the phena_ines mentioned previously.

-Phena_ine Deri-atives For 7rearntent of AIicrohial I~?fection It has now been found that phe~7ine compounds are active antimicrobial agents against a variet~ of dru~-resistant organisms. and that certain phen~7ines are also active against wild-type microorganisms. We have tested selected strains of bacteria that 30 commonly cause human infection against several representativc phenazine compounds.
As described in more detail below (see. e.L~,., Examples 8 and 9, infra) phena_ine compounds of the invention are active antimicrobial compounds against a variety of microbes, including drug-resistant bacteria. fungi, molds, and the like.
The compounds of the invention can also be employed for purposes such as 35 selective gut decont"rnin~tion. Gut decont~min~tion is useful for preventing microbial infections in immunosuppressed patients; for example. a patient about to receivechemotherapy can be treated with a phenazine compound of the invention to decont~min~te the gut, to thereby prevent infection by gut pathogens after the patient has SUBSTITUTE Sl IEET (RULE 26) received chemotherapy. In this embodiment. it is preferred to use a phenazine compound which are not significantly absorbed through the gastrointestin~l wall, this increases the effective concentration, and therefore the apparent potency, of the ph~n~7ine compound in the gastrointestinal tract.
It would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art in light of the te~hings herein, that phenazine compounds which are not significantly absorbed through the gastroint.ostin~l wall, but rather are retained at or near the mucosa~ would be useful for the treatment of infections due to microorg~ni~mc which cause gastrointestinal diseases.
including, without limitation, C. dif~icile (diarrhea and colitis) and H pylori (gastric and duodenal ulcers).
In a related embodiment~ topical application of a phenazinc compound according to the invention, can be used to decont:~min~te the mouth, throat~ and upper rcspiratory tract to prevent microbial infection. For example~ infection bv microorg~nicm~ resident in the mouth can result in pneumonia in a susceptible indi- idual. especially if the patient is recei~ing respiratory support from a ventilator.
It has been found by the present invcntors that phenazine N-oxides te.g.~
phenazine-5-oxides. phenazine- I 0-oxides. and phen zine-5. 1 0-dioxidcs) are of ~en more active against microorg~ni~ms than the corresponding phenazines. Accordingl~. in a preferred embodiment. a phenazine compound of the invention is a phen~7ine-N-oxide, most preferably a phenazine-5~ 1 0-dioxide.
Without wishing to be bound by any theor~ it is believed th~t the phenazine compounds of the invention may exert an antimicrobial acti- ity at least in part due to the ability of phenazine compounds to undergo electron transfer rcactions, ~vhich rcsult in the forrnation of toxic activc oxygen species at thc site of action in ~ o. with rcsultant darnage to infcctious microorg~ni~mc (see~ e.g.~ I' W. Crawford et al. Chem. Biol.
Interact. ( 1986) 60:67-84~. The ability of a phenazinc compound to undergo clectroreduction in Vil~O may therefore bc correlated ~~ith the antimicrobial activit~ of thc phPn~ine compound (compounds with more positi~e rcduction polenti~ and which show rcversible reduction waves~ are often found to have greater antimicrobial activit~ ).
Accordingly~ in certain preferred embodiments~ a phenazine compound of the invention can be substituted, e.g., on the phenazine nucleus~ with a substituent(s) which increases the ability of the phenazine compound to be reduced in vivo. For exa~nple, in certain preferred embodiments, a phen~7ine compound of the invention includes at least one substituent which is capable of stabilizing a radical cation (e.g., of a phenazine) or radical anion ~e.g., of a phenazine-5, 1 0-dioxide, see, e.g., M.D. Ryan et al. J Pharm.
Sci. ( 1985) 74:492) resulting from a one-electron reduction of the phenazine nucleus.
Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that such a radical anion (e.g., of a phenazine-S~ 1 0-dioxide) may be able to transfer electrons in a catalytic manner.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET ~RULE 26) Illustratively, the phen~7ine nucleus can be substituted, at the 7 and/or 8-positions, with electron-withdrawing substituents (such as, e.g., halogens, including fluoro, chloro~ bromo, and iodo), or methyl groups. Other groups which change the electron distribution of the ring structure are also acceptable. Especially preferrecl S embodiments of the invention are phenazine N-oxides which are substituted at the 7 and/or 8 positions. including, without limitation, a 7,8-dimethylphenazine or a 7,8-dihalophenazine (e.g., a 7,8-dichlorophenazine. such as 7,8-dichlorophenazine-5,10-dioxide). It is believed that substituents at the 7 and 8 positions of the phenazine ring system may reduce toxicity of the compounds in vivo (possibly analogous to toxic10 structure-function relationships of riboflavins) while ret~ining antimicrobial activity.
In certain preferred embodiments. the phenazine is a l-hydroxyphenazine. morc preferablv a l -hydroxyphen~zine-5~ 1 0-dioxidc. Without ~vishing to be bound bv any theory. it is belie~cd that the I -hydroxy group of a I -hydroxyphenazine- 1 0-oxide (or 5.1 0-dioxide ) mav interact with the 1 0-o:;idc oxygen atom to thereby render the 15 compound more bioacti-~e. possihl~ by enhancing charge transfer through hvdrogen bonding. Similarly, a 6-hvdroxy group may interact with the ~-oxide oxygen atom to enhance charge transfer Thus. in preferred embodiments. a phen~7ine compound useful in thc methods of the invention can be represented hy the structure:

m is 0, 1 or 2; and n is an integer from 0 to 4; and X is. independently for each occurrence, oxygen or a pair of electrons. In certain preferred embodiments, m and n are 30 each 0. In certain embodiments, at least one occurrence of X is oxygen; in particularly preferred embodiments. both occurrences of X are oxygen (i.e.. the compound is aphenazine-5.10-dioxide). In preferred embodiments, n is at least 1, and one occurrence of R4 is a l-hydroxy group (i.e., the compound is a 1 -hydroxyphenazine (optionally a I -SUBSTITUTE SHEET(RULE26) W O 98/27969 ~4 rCT/CAg7/0~978 hydroxyphenazine-N-oxide)). Rl and ~, can be the same or different; in certain embodiments, Rl and R2 are the sarne, and are both methyl or both chlorine. In some embodiments, the organism is a multidrug resistant org~ni~m, including a bacterium.
In ~r~ d embodiments, m and n are each 0 (i.e., the phenazine compound can S be substituted at the 7 and/or 8-positions, but is other~vise unsubstituted). Exemplary prefc~ d phen~ine compounds include 7,8-dichlorophenazine-5,10-dioxide (P5) and 7,8-dimethylphPn~7in~-5, 1 0-dioxide (P6).
It will be understood that a particular phen~7ine compound can be selected according to several criteria~ which will be routine to onc of ordinary skill in the art in 10 view of the teachings provided herein. For e:Yample. as described above. certain substituents on the phenazine nucleus are preferred to increase the antimicrobial potency of the phenazinc compound. In addition. substituents of the phenazine nucleus can be selected to improve thc solubility of the compound (e.g., by substitution with hydrophilic substituents such as amino. carbo.~;y, hydro.Yy. and the like). to improve the 15 biodistribution of the compound. and the like. One of o}dinar! sliill in the art will be able to select an appropriate phenazine compound using no more than routine experimentation in light of the teachings hcrein.
Moreover. the ef~lcacy of a particular phen~ine compound can be deterrnined.
e.g., by routine screening, e.g.. such as described infra. An effective antimicrobial 20 compound can therefore be readil~ selected for use against a selected microorganism of interest. ~ctivity of certain l;nown antibiotics is related to the ability of the antibiotic to forrn mctal complexes with metal ions; accordingl~. in certain embodiments. a phen~inP compound of the in~ ention is capable of forming a metal comple.~ (e.g., ~vith a metal center such as calcium. magnesium. zinc. iron. m~ng:~ncse, or copper) and/or is 25 ~ minictered to a subject in the form of a metal complex.
It has been found that the phenazine compounds of thc invention are active against bacteria (both Gram-positi~e and Gram-negative), including drug-resistant strains of bacteria. It is believed that the compounds of the in~ention are also acti~e against fungi, yeasts, parasites, and the like. Compounds of the invention exhibit both 30 bacteriostatic activit~,~ (i.e.. inhibit the ~rov.,th of a bacterium without l;illing the bacterium) and bactericidal activity (i.c.. killing the bacterial cell). In a preferred embodiment, a phPn~7in~ compound of the invention is ~lminictPred to a subject to have a bactericidal effect on the microorganism.
It has been found in preliminary experiments that phPn~7ine compounds 35 described herein are capable of inhibiting the growth of a hurnan tumor cell line in cell culture. Accordingly, the phen~7in~ compounds described herein are useful for inhibiting the growth of tumors and tumor cells. eithcr in vitro (ex vivo) or in vivo. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for treating a subject having a tumor.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The method includes ~tlmini~tering to the subjeet an effective (preferably non-toxie) anti-tumor arnount of a phen~7ine compound, such that the tumor is treated.
Compounds of the invention can be obtained by methods well known to the skilled artisan. Certain ph~n~7ine eompounds are commereially available. or can be 5 obtained from cultures as described above. Additional compounds can be prepared by well known teehniques of organie synthesis (see, e.g., Examples 1-3, infra).

The ointments, pastes, crearns and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound of this invention, excipients~ such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes~
paraffins, starch, tr~g~r~nth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid~ talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof SU~ ITE SHE~T(RULE 26) Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to a compound of this invention, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, alurninum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder. or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted 5 hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane.
Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound of the present invention to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispersing the phenazine compound in the proper mediurn. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flu?c of the subject phen~?ine across the skin.
10 The rate of such flux can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or dispersing the phenazine in a polymer matrix or gel.
Ophth~lmic formulations. eye ointments, powders. solutions and the like~ are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention suitable for parenteral 15 a lminictration comprise one or more compounds of thc invention in combination ~~fith one or more pharrnaceutically-acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or nonaqueous solutions. dispcrsions. suspensions or emulsions. or sterilc po~ders ~vhich may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. which may contain antioxidants. buffers. bactcriostats. solutes which render the formulation isotonic '~0 with the blood of the inten(le~l recipient or suspending or thickcning agents.
Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous c~rriers ~hich may be employed in thc pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include ~ atcr. ethanol. polyols ~such as glycerol. propylene glycol. polyethylene glycol. and the like)~ and suitable mi~;tures thereof. vegetable oils~ such as olive oil. and injectable or~anic esters. such as cth~ l oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained. for examplc. b- the use of coating matcrials. such as lecithin. by the m~inten~nce of the required particle size in thc case ol dispersions. and by the use of surfactants.
These compositions may also cont~in adju-ants such as preser-~atives. ~ etting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Pre~ention of the action of 30 microorg~nicms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents. for example, paraben. chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid. and the like. lt may also be desirable to include isotonic agents. such as sugars. sodium chloride, and the like into the compositions. ~n addition, prolonged absorption of the injectable pharm~centical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents which delay absorption such as 35 ahlminllm monostearate and gelatin.
In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may beaccomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) W O 98/27969 ~1 PCT/CAg7/00978 having poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form.
Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally-a~minictered drug forrn is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
Injectable depot forrns are made by forrning microencapsule matrices of the subject compounds in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide.
Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer. and the nature of the particular polymer employcd. the rate of drug release can be controlled. Exarnples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectablc formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissue.

It will bc appreciated that auger dilution or disk diffusion methods can also be lltili7f d The drug to be tcsted was prepared in absolute ethanol and dilu~ed such that thefinal working concentration of ethanol was lcss than 5~~O of the final ~vorking volume~ so ~5 as to minimi7f any effects of thc ethanol on thc microbial assay. The antibio~ic was diluted using cation-supplemented Mueller-Hinton broth (BBL~ Becton Dickinson Diagnostics~ Sparks~ MD). Two-fold serial dilutions of the antibioiic were preparcd in the concentrations indicated in Tables I and ~ belo~A. The antibio~ic dilutions were prepared immediately prior to the assay and not stored at their dilutions.
Preparatio~, of Inoculum A final inoculum of 5 x 105 colony-fo;ming units (CFU) per mL was used.
Isolates were inoculated into Mueller-Hinton broth and incubated until turbid and the turbidity ad3usted to match a 0.5 McFarland standard. Alternatively, 4-5 isolated colonies from overnight growth on Tryptic soy agar or Tryptic soy blood agar plates were directlv suspended into broth to match a turbidity of 0.5 McFarland standard This latter method was used for testing Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus species. A
portion of suspension was diluted 1: 100 with broth and I mL of this final dilution was SUBSTlTUTE SHEET (RULE 26j added to each tube cont~ining 1 mL of the prediluted drug so that a final inoculum of 5 x 105 CFU/mL was achieved. Tubes without antibiotics were likewise inoculated as growth controls and uninoculated broth was used as a sterility control.
A sample of a final inoculum was routinely serially diluted and plated in duplicate to determine colony counts to verify accuracy of the inoculum.
All inoculated tubes were incubated in room air at 35~C for 6-20 hours and this was extended to 24 hours for vancomycin-resistant Enterococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococci.
For all MIC tcsting, appropriate ATCC control org~nicm~ were run in parallel as l O indicated below. The end points were sharp and there were no trailing end points detected. No skipped tubcs were ever detected. The lowest concentration that completely inhibited visible growth with the organism hy the unaided eye was recorded as the minimum inhibitory concentration.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Determination of Minimum Bac~ericidal Concentration After the minimllm inhibitory concentration was deterrnined. the miniml~m bactericidal concentration (MBC) was determined by subculturing tubes which had no visible growth, or, in the case of microtiter plates, wells that have no visible growth. In the case of macrobroth MB~s, after 20 hours of incubation the tubes were re-vortexed and incubated for an additional 4 hours and then 100 ,u~ of the broth was removed and spread across agar plates with a bent glass rod~ in duplicate.
In the case of microbroth MBC determination, 100 IlL is aspiratcd and dispensed to the surface of agar plates and spread evenly using a bent glass rod.
The MBC is defined as the lowest concentration of antibiotic that reduces the inoculum hy 99.9% within ''4 hours.

Inoculum Preparation The inoculum of anaerobic org~ni~mc is prepared by suspending colonies taken 30 from a 24-7' hour anaerobic blood agar plate directly to Thioglycolate broth or Brucella broth to a density of a 0.5 McFarland standard. Alternatively. initial suspension is prepared by inoculating S colonies into enriched Thioglycolate medium and incubating for 4-6 hours or occasionally overnight for slow-growing org~ni~ms. This suspension is then diluted to a density of a 0.5 McFarland standard.
Media The media for agar dilution anaerobic susceptibility testing is Wilkins-Chalgrenagar or Brucella agar base. Where appropriate, Schaedler's, Wilkins or Brain-Heart SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 2~;) infusion broth are used. The broths are supplemented with vitamin K1, 1 ,ug/mL and Hemin 5 ,~Lg/mI,. Defibrinated sheep blood or ~ysed sheep blood is a~so used where ~ U~JI iate to supplement Wilkins-Chalgren agar and Brucella agar base.

30 Interpretation of Results For anaerobic agar dilution testing, the end point is read as the concentration at which there is the most marked change from the growth control. This change is manifested as no growth, or as tiny colonies or a s1ight haze, or as significantly ~iimini~he~l ~rowth compared to that of the control. In broth microdilution, MIC35 anaerobic determination trays are examined with indirect transmitted light. That concentration at which the most significant reduction in growth is observed is chosen as the end point. This is either complete inhibition of growth or tiny, gradually ~limini~hing button of growth.

5.6 g of 4.5-dimeth~ lbenzofuraz~n oxide was dissol~ ed in 110 mL dieth~ l~nine and added dropwise to 2.0 g of l .2-c- clohcxancdione durin~ ~ igorous stirrin~. After thc addition of the solution was completed. the mixturc was stirred for an sdditional 3 hr at room temperature. The mixturc was diluted with crushed ice and acidified withglacial acetic acid. The brown-red solid was filtered, washed with water and dried.
TLC indicated presence of red and olive green products.
1.7 g of the crude product was dissolved in a minim:~l amount of benzene and oxidized by dropwise addition of a warm benzene solution of 2.7 g 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (in a minim~l amount of benzene). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 24 hr.
The solution was first extracted with 10% aqueous Na2SO3 followed by extraction with 10% aqueous Na~CO3. Evaporation of the dried benzene solution produced a dark red solid which was treated with 10% aqueous NaOH. The solution was acidified with SUBSTITUTE SHEET ~RULE 26) W O 98/27969 ~6 PCTICAg7/00978 glacial acetic acid, producing 0.8 g red solid. Recry~t~l1i7~3tion of the crude product yielded the pure product having a melting point of 179--180~C. FT-IR, 1 ~ NMR, and UV-VIS spectra were in agreement with reported spectra fl]:

It will bc appreciated that auger dilution or disk diffusion methods can also be lltili7f d The drug to be tcsted was prepared in absolute ethanol and dilu~ed such that thefinal working concentration of ethanol was lcss than 5~~O of the final ~vorking volume~ so ~5 as to minimi7f any effects of thc ethanol on thc microbial assay. The antibio~ic was diluted using cation-supplemented Mueller-Hinton broth (BBL~ Becton Dickinson Diagnostics~ Sparks~ MD). Two-fold serial dilutions of the antibioiic were preparcd in the concentrations indicated in Tables I and ~ belo~A. The antibio~ic dilutions were prepared immediately prior to the assay and not stored at their dilutions.
Preparatio~, of Inoculum A final inoculum of 5 x 105 colony-fo;ming units (CFU) per mL was used.
Isolates were inoculated into Mueller-Hinton broth and incubated until turbid and the turbidity ad3usted to match a 0.5 McFarland standard. Alternatively, 4-5 isolated colonies from overnight growth on Tryptic soy agar or Tryptic soy blood agar plates were directlv suspended into broth to match a turbidity of 0.5 McFarland standard This latter method was used for testing Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus species. A
portion of suspension was diluted 1: 100 with broth and I mL of this final dilution was SUBSTlTUTE SHEET (RULE 26j added to each tube cont~ining 1 mL of the prediluted drug so that a final inoculum of 5 x 105 CFU/mL was achieved. Tubes without antibiotics were likewise inoculated as growth controls and uninoculated broth was used as a sterility control.
A sample of a final inoculum was routinely serially diluted and plated in duplicate to determine colony counts to verify accuracy of the inoculum.
All inoculated tubes were incubated in room air at 35~C for 6-20 hours and this was extended to 24 hours for vancomycin-resistant Enterococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococci.
For all MIC tcsting, appropriate ATCC control org~nicm~ were run in parallel as l O indicated below. The end points were sharp and there were no trailing end points detected. No skipped tubcs were ever detected. The lowest concentration that completely inhibited visible growth with the organism hy the unaided eye was recorded as the minimum inhibitory concentration.
I~Iicrobroth Dilution ll1ethodfc)rAerohic Organisn~.s Stocl; antimicrobial solutions are prepared as indicated abo~ e. Between 0.05 or0. l mL are dispensed to the wells of the microbroth dilu~ion tra~ . These travs are stored in plastic at -70~C.
lnoculation A final desired inoculum of S ?; l O5 CFU/mL is us~d. The inoculum is p.~ cd similarl~ to above b~ either direct colonies or from colonies ~ro~vn in broth prior to inoculation. A 0.5 Mc~'arland suspension of the test organism is diluted l: l O in broth and bet-veen O.OOl and 0.005 mL is inoculated into wells cont:-ining 0.1 mL of broth.
When a 0.05 mL of broth per well system is used~ 0.05 mL of inoculum is used. which is prepared by l: l 00 dilution of a 0.5 McFarland suspension. The inoculum density is routinely checked hy plate counting and an aliquot of the inoculum is routinel~ plated out to checl; for purit~. Wells not containinL~ antimicrobial a~ents are used as ~ro-~th controls.
Plates are covered with plastic tape or se~led in a plastic bag and incubatcd at35~C for 6-24 hours.
Quality control strains as mentioned above are used. The end point MIC is the same as for macrobroth dilution. Gro~vth is determined by comparison with that in the growth control well and it is indicated by turbidity throughout the well or by a button.

Quality control strains used are Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudo~770nas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213. and E. coli ATCC 25922.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Determination of Minimum Bac~ericidal Concentration After the minimllm inhibitory concentration was deterrnined. the miniml~m bactericidal concentration (MBC) was determined by subculturing tubes which had no visible growth, or, in the case of microtiter plates, wells that have no visible growth. In the case of macrobroth MB~s, after 20 hours of incubation the tubes were re-vortexed and incubated for an additional 4 hours and then 100 ,u~ of the broth was removed and spread across agar plates with a bent glass rod~ in duplicate.
In the case of microbroth MBC determination, 100 IlL is aspiratcd and dispensed to the surface of agar plates and spread evenly using a bent glass rod.
The MBC is defined as the lowest concentration of antibiotic that reduces the inoculum hy 99.9% within ''4 hours.

Inoculum Preparation The inoculum of anaerobic org~ni~mc is prepared by suspending colonies taken 30 from a 24-7' hour anaerobic blood agar plate directly to Thioglycolate broth or Brucella broth to a density of a 0.5 McFarland standard. Alternatively. initial suspension is prepared by inoculating S colonies into enriched Thioglycolate medium and incubating for 4-6 hours or occasionally overnight for slow-growing org~ni~ms. This suspension is then diluted to a density of a 0.5 McFarland standard.
Media The media for agar dilution anaerobic susceptibility testing is Wilkins-Chalgrenagar or Brucella agar base. Where appropriate, Schaedler's, Wilkins or Brain-Heart SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 2~;) infusion broth are used. The broths are supplemented with vitamin K1, 1 ,ug/mL and Hemin 5 ,~Lg/mI,. Defibrinated sheep blood or ~ysed sheep blood is a~so used where ~ U~JI iate to supplement Wilkins-Chalgren agar and Brucella agar base. Both of these supplements are used at a final concentration of 5%. Where required, 1% Tween 80 for S Gram positive cocci, and rabbit serum or 2-3% Iysed horse blood for pigmented org~ni~m~, are used. The plates are not stored for more than 7 days prior to use.
Incul~ation Conditions Anaerobic jars with disposable hydrogen-carbon dioxide generators and palladium coated catalvst pellets are routinely used. The incubation atmosphere contains 4-7% carbon dioxide. Incubation is at 35~C for 48 hours. Control plates~
microdilution trays or broth macrodilution tubes are divided in duplicate, where one is incubated anacrobicall- as a growth control and the other incubated aerobically as a 15 cont~min~nt controi .

The final ~olurne pcr uell is not less than 100 ~L.The antibio~ics arc prepared as described above. The inocula are prepared similarly as for agar dilution with the final inoculation in each well of l o6 C~U/mL.

Control uells include a ~ ell u ith broth but no drug as a ~routh control and anuninoculated well as a sterilit- control.
30 Interpretation of Results For anaerobic agar dilution testing, the end point is read as the concentration at which there is the most marked change from the growth control. This change is manifested as no growth, or as tiny colonies or a s1ight haze, or as significantly ~iimini~he~l ~rowth compared to that of the control. In broth microdilution, MIC35 anaerobic determination trays are examined with indirect transmitted light. That concentration at which the most significant reduction in growth is observed is chosen as the end point. This is either complete inhibition of growth or tiny, gradually ~limini~hing button of growth.

Souree of inoeulum: The source inoeulum for mycobaclerial susceptibility testing is derived from a mycobacterial subculture using an indirect method. Inoculum 30 is grown on Middlebrool; 7~I10 or 7HI I agar or another egg-based medium, but the sample is taken less than 4 weeks after growth on the solid media. Turbid growth in a liquid medium such as Middlebrook 7H9 broth or in BACTEC 1 B media is also used,as appropriate.
35 Media used Middlebrook 7H10 agar supplem.onted with oleic acid-albumin-dextrose-e:~t~l~ce (OADC) is used as a standard medium for susceptibility testing of slow growing myeobacteria by the proportion method. Where required to support growth of more SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) W O 9~27969 -31- PCT/CA97/00978 fastidious strains~ Middlebrook 7H11 medium is substituted. The BACTEC method ~BBL, Becton Dickinson Diagnostics, Sparks, MD) is used preferentially for all susceptibility testing against mycobacteria. This uses an enriched Middlebrook 7H9 broth cont~ining 4 ~LCi of C-14 labelled palmitic acid per vial (also known as BACTEC
5 7B media).
The antibiotics are prepared as mentioned above. Generally, growth from a BACTEC 12B model of the test organism is used where it reached a growth index of500 or higher. After mixing to break up clumps, turbidity is adjusted to match aMcFarland standard of 0.5 and a 1:100 dilution of the final inoculum is used as a 10 control. Dilutions are prepared in distilled water or BACTEC diluting fluid but not broth. Purity is determined by platin~ the inoculum to blood agar and 7H 10 plates.
Incuhation BACTEC l~B vials arc pre-run in a BACTEC ~60 instrument in order to 15 establish a gas phase of 5% CO~ in air in the headspace of the ~ ial. An~ ~ ial ~ ith initial grouth inde.~c greater than or equal to ~0 is rejected. Eacll pre-run vial is inoculated ~ith 0.1 mL of the adjusted suspension of the test or quality control isolate and the ~ ials arc incubated at 37~C in the dark.

When the gro-~,qh inde~; of the control is greater th~n or equal to 30 after a minimum of 4 da~ s~ the differencc in the ~ro-~qh indices from one datc to the ne:;t are examined. If the difference in grou-th inde~ of the control is ~reatcr than the differencc in the gro~th index of the drug. the organism is considered susceptible to the test dru~
~5 If the differencc in the grouqh index ofthe control is less than ~he difference in the gro- th index of the drug~ it is classif~ed to be resistant.

Stock Drug Solu~ions Solutions of antibiotic to be tested are prepared at 10 times the highest concentration to be tested. ~11 test solutions are freshly prepared.
rreparation of Inocula Spectrophotographic methods are used to prepare thc inocula. The test organisms arc grown on Sabouraud a~ar at 35~C and subcultured twice~ thus ensuring viability and purity. The inoculum suspension is created b~ selecting 5 isolated colonies of at least I mm in diamcter and suspending them in 5 mL of sterile 0.85% saline.
'~O Turbidity is measured at 530 nanometers and the culture is adjusted with saline to provide a 0.5 McFarland barium sulphate standard cquivalent. This resulted in a suspension of 1-5 x I o6 organisms per mL~ ~vhich is furthcr diluted ~000 times with I media~ giving a final test inoculum of 0.5-~.5 x 103 organisms per mL.
A 0.5 mL sarnple of the preparcd antibiotic solution is addcd to 4.5 mL of ~5 medium: for each of compounds E'1-P6 a I :10 dilution is similarly prcpared. A two-fold drug dilution scheme is used. The 10 times strength antibiotic solutions are dispensed in 100 ~lL volumes in round-bottom~ pol~styrene. sterile tubes and inoculated by addin~
900 ~L of the corresponding diluted fungus or ~ east inoculum. The growth control tube received 900 ~L of the inoculated suspension and 100 ~LL of the drug-free medium. A
quality control organism is tested in the sarnc manner and is included each time a test isolate is tested. 1 mL of uninoculated drug-free media is included as a sterility control.
The tubes are incubated at 35~C for 50 hours in ambient air and observed for thepresence or absence of visible turbidity or growth. Where appropriate~ incubation time is extended to 75 hours.
The minimnm inhibitory concentration endpoint was determined visually by F~x~minin~ for turbidity and the minimnm inhibitory concentration determined to be the lowest concentration of the test drug that subst~nti~lly inhibited the growth of the org~ni~m In general, this was the lowest concentration preventing any visible growth.

Candida parapsilosis ATCC22019 and Candida krusei ATCC6258 are also used as appropriate as reference strains.
A microbroth dilution method similar to the above but scaled down to microbroth dilutions is also used where convenient.
For testing filamentous fungi, the above method is altered as follows. The inoculum is prepared from growth on potato dextrose agar after 7 days at 35~C. Aconidial suspension in ~ mL of sterile 85% saline is prepared and the turbidity of the suspcnsion measured using a spectrophotometer at 530 nanometers and adjustcd to provide a conidial suspcnsion of 0.5-5.0 x l O~ C~U/mL.

Stock Drug Solu~ions Solutions of antibiotic to be tested are prepared at 10 times the highest concentration to be tested. ~11 test solutions are freshly prepared.
rreparation of Inocula Spectrophotographic methods are used to prepare thc inocula. The test organisms arc grown on Sabouraud a~ar at 35~C and subcultured twice~ thus ensuring viability and purity. The inoculum suspension is created b~ selecting 5 isolated colonies of at least I mm in diamcter and suspending them in 5 mL of sterile 0.85% saline.
'~O Turbidity is measured at 530 nanometers and the culture is adjusted with saline to provide a 0.5 McFarland barium sulphate standard cquivalent. This resulted in a suspension of 1-5 x I o6 organisms per mL~ ~vhich is furthcr diluted ~000 times with I media~ giving a final test inoculum of 0.5-~.5 x 103 organisms per mL.
A 0.5 mL sarnple of the preparcd antibiotic solution is addcd to 4.5 mL of ~5 medium: for each of compounds E'1-P6 a I :10 dilution is similarly prcpared. A two-fold drug dilution scheme is used. The 10 times strength antibiotic solutions are dispensed in 100 ~lL volumes in round-bottom~ pol~styrene. sterile tubes and inoculated by addin~
900 ~L of the corresponding diluted fungus or ~ east inoculum. The growth control tube received 900 ~L of the inoculated suspension and 100 ~LL of the drug-free medium. A
quality control organism is tested in the sarnc manner and is included each time a test isolate is tested. 1 mL of uninoculated drug-free media is included as a sterility control.
The tubes are incubated at 35~C for 50 hours in ambient air and observed for thepresence or absence of visible turbidity or growth. Where appropriate~ incubation time is extended to 75 hours.
The minimnm inhibitory concentration endpoint was determined visually by F~x~minin~ for turbidity and the minimnm inhibitory concentration determined to be the lowest concentration of the test drug that subst~nti~lly inhibited the growth of the org~ni~m In general, this was the lowest concentration preventing any visible growth.
SIJ~ 111 ~)TE SHEET (RULE Z6) W O 98/27969 33 PCT/CAg7/00978 Alternatively, by visual ex~nin~tion~ thc MIC was defined as the lowest drug concentration reducing growth by 80% relative to the growth control.

Candida parapsilosis ATCC22019 and Candida krusei ATCC6258 are also used as appropriate as reference strains.
A microbroth dilution method similar to the above but scaled down to microbroth dilutions is also used where convenient.
For testing filamentous fungi, the above method is altered as follows. The inoculum is prepared from growth on potato dextrose agar after 7 days at 35~C. Aconidial suspension in ~ mL of sterile 85% saline is prepared and the turbidity of the suspcnsion measured using a spectrophotometer at 530 nanometers and adjustcd to provide a conidial suspcnsion of 0.5-5.0 x l O~ C~U/mL.
Daily ex:~min:ltion of the tubcs for growth is carried OUI~ and w hen ~ isible growth is seen. each tube is vortexed f'or l O seconds to allow for the detection of small amounts of growth. Growth in tubes is compared to the s~eril:: control and scored as either showing no growth. 75% reduction in growth~ 50% reduction in growth. ~5%
