Description

COMPOUNDS AND TEIEIR THERAPEUTIC USE
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to compounds, and more specifically to azole or barbiturate analogues, and to their therapeutic use,.
Background to the Invention
Several chemical classes of compound are known that possess considerable antibacterial activity, and these have proven of immense value in the treatment of bacterial diseases and infection. They include among others, the penicillins, the cephalosporins, the aminoglycoside antibiotics, vancomycin analogues and the sulfonamide drugs.
The mechanism of action of a number of known antibiotics is by the direct inhibition of enzymes of essential bacterial biosynthetic pathways. These indude, amongst others, trimethoprim and the sulfonamide drugs.
An enzyme of the Coenzyme A biosynthetic pathway, phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT), has been shown to be essential for bacterial viability (WO/ 0017387) and a compound that could inhibit such au enzyme in viva would be likely to be of use as an antibacterial agent.
The compounds described in the invention are structurally distinct from previously prescribed antibiotics, and their mode of action is also dissimilar.
Summary of the Invention
This invention relates to compounds, and more specifically to azole or barbiturate analogues defined by Formula la and lb and to their therapeutic use. The compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are claimed as the active ingredients in medicines for the treahnent of bacterial infection in man and animals. O O R-NZ,COOH RN JZ'COOH

OHHO -:0 \ó> AH\O tOH CON> -OH o Compounds of the invention, most of which are new, have therapeutic utility. In particular, they exhibit inhibition of the enzyme phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase. The compounds are useful as active ingredients in medicines, for the treatment of bacterial infection in man and animals.
Compounds of similar structure to those of the invention have been described before as antibacterial agents.
However, these compounds do not contain a carboxylic acid moiety and possess only weak activity. For this reason, the increased antibacterial potency of azole or barbiturate analogues containing a catboxylic acid moiety could not have been predicted and is therefore novel. A number of these compound have been purchased and found to be inactive in our phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase and only feebly active in our antibacterial screens.
Descrintion of the Invention The term "Clot aLkyl" as used herein refers to straight and branched chain alkyl groups having up to 6 C atoms. Examples are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl. "AUcyl" may have the same meaning. "Halogen" means F. Cl, Br or I. "Alkoxy" means Can alkyd-. "Heterocyclyl" means a saturated, unsaturated or aromatic ring of 5 to 8 atoms containing one or more heteroatoms such as 0, S or N. and which may be bonded via any C or ring atom.
Compounds of formula 1 may contain one or more chiral centres and exist in optically active forms. When a compound of formula 1 or a salt thereof contains a single chiral centre (for example sec-butyl) it may exist in two enantiomeric forms. The present invention includes individual enantiomers and mixtures of these enantiomers. The enantiomers may be obtained by methods known to those skilled in the an Such methods typically include resolution via formation of diastereomeric salts or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallization; resolution via formation of diastereomeric derivatives or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallization, gas-liquid or liquid chromatography; selective reaction with one enantiomer by reaction with an enantiomer-specific reagent, for example, enzymatic esterification, oxidation or reduction, followed by separation of the modified and unmodified enantiomers; or gas-liquid or liquid chromatography on a chiral support such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. It will be appreciated that where the desired enantiomer is converted mto another chemical entity by one of the separation processes described above, at least one further step will subsequently be required to liberate the desired enantiomeric form. Alternatively, specific enantiomers may be synthesised by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer into another by asymmetric transformation.
When a compound of formula 1 or a salt thereof contains more than one chiral centre it may exist in diastereomeric forms. The diastereomeric pairs may be separated by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, chromatography or crystalhsation and the individual enantiomers within each pair may be separated as described above. The present invention includes each diastereomer of compounds of formula 1 and mixtures thereof.
Some compounds of formula I may exist in the form of solvates, for example, hydrates, which also fall within the scope of the present invention.
The compounds of formula l may form organic or inorganic salts, for example, the compounds of formula l may form addition salts with inorganic or organic acids, e.g. hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, sulfuric acid, hydiodic acid, maleic acid acetic acid, succinic acid, benzoic acid, pamoic acid, palmitic acid, dodecanoic acid and acidic amino-acids such as glutamic acid.
Such compounds of formula 1 may form base addition salts, for example, with alkali metal hydroxides e.g. sodium hydroxide, with amino-acids e.g. lysine or arginine or with orgamc bases e.g. meglumaine. It will be appreciated that such salts, provided that they are pharmaceutically acceptable may be used in therapy in place of compounds of formula 1. Such salts are prepared by reacting the compound of formula l with a suitable acid or base in a conventional manner. Such salts may also exist in the form of solvates, for example, hydrates. The present invention includes each salt and any solvate thereof.
Certain compounds of formula 1 or salts thereof may exist in more than one crystal form and the present invention includes each crystal form and mixtures thereof.
"Phannaccutically acceptable salts" are acid addition salts which can be prepared by any of the art recognised means. Typical acid addition salts include hydrochloride, hydrobrornide, hydroiodide, sulphate, phosphate, acetate, propionate, lactate, malate, succinate, tatrate, cyclohexanesulphamates, methanesulphonates, ethanesulphonates, benzenesulphonates, toluenesulphonates, fumarates ard other pharmaceutically acceptable counter ions for amines.
The preferred procedure for preparing compounds of the invention comprises reacting a azole or barbiturate analogue of the formula 2a or 2b with an aldehyde of formula 3, wherein W. X Z and R are as defined in previously. The reaction can be carried out at a temperature range between -80 to 250 C, optionally in the presence of an acid, base or dehydrating agent, and optionally in the presence of an inert organic solvent. It is appreciated that work-up procedures may involve the use of an acid or base.
In a preferred method, the reaction is carried out in boiling acetic anLydride as solvent, containing a catalytic amount of sodimn acetate.

Procedure for determining concentration of compound necessary to reduce the measured enzymatic activ ty of phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase to half its control activity (ICsu) The inhibitory effect of a compound on PPAT can be measured by determining the difference in the amount of the product of the reaction released in the absence and presence of the compound The reaction catalysed by PPAT is the transfer of the adenosine monophosphate moiety of ATP to 4-phosphopantetheine or an analogue thereof, generating the products dephosphoCoenzyme A, or an analogue thereof, and inorganic pyrophosphate.
In Webb, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. (USA), 1992; 89: 4884 - 4887, there is described an assay for the measurement of phosphate using the chromogenic substrate 2-amino-mercapto-7-methylaminopurine ribonucleoside (methyl thioguanosine). Phosphate was found to cleave this nucleoside in a reaction catalysed by purine nucleoside phosphorylase, generating ribose 1-phosphate and the corresponding free base, 2-amino-6-mercapto-7methylaminopurine (methylthioguanine, MTG). Conversion of the nucleoside to MTG generates a readily monitored spectrophotometric signal at 360 nm. This assay was later extended by Lloyd et al, Nucleic Acids Research, 1995: 23: 2886-2892, to measure inorganic pyrophosphate by incorporating inorganic pyrophosphatase in the assay to generate inorganic phosphate which can then be assayed as described above.
A Preparation of enzyme (PPAI) Staphylococcus aureus PPAT may be prepared from an overproducing strain of E. cold that harbours the gene encoding Staphylococcal PPAT on a multicopy plasmid. After growth, cells are harvested by centrifugation, and resuspended in 20 mM Tris-HCI buffer pH 8.0 containing 5 mM dithiothreitol (Buffer 1). Cells are broken by sonication and cell debris is removed by centrifugation. Ammonium sulphate (5.24 g/20 ml) is added to the supernatant to give 45% saturation, and the insoluble material is removed by centrifugation. More ammonium sulphate (1.38 g/20 ml) is added to the supernatant to give 55% saturation. The resulting precipitate is collected by centrifugation, re- dissolved in Buffer l and dialysed against Buffer 1.
The dialysed supernatant is then applied to a HiLoad_ Q (Arnersham Pharmacia Biotech) ion-exchange column. PPAT is eluted by applying a gradient of NaCI (from O M to l M in Buffer 1. Fractions containing PPAT activity are combined, ammonium sulphate is added to give a final concentartion of 1.2 M, then the solution is applied to a HiLoad7M PhenylSepharose (Amersham Phannacia Biotech) hydrophobic interaction chromatography column. PPAT is eluted by applying a decreasing gradient (from 1.2 M to O M) of ammonium sulphate. Fractions containing PPAT activity are combined, then dialysed against 20 mM citrate buffer pH 5.5 containing 5 mM dithiothreitol (Buffer 2). The solution is then applied to a Sephacyl7M S-lOO gel filtration column (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and eluted in Buffer 2.
Fractions containing PPAT activity are dialysed into Buffer 1 for storage.
B Measurement of enzymatic activity A reaction was carried out to measure phosphate production from the enzyme-coupled system, in the presence and absence of compounds. The reaction assay comprised 0.0023 units PPAT (where 1 unit is sufficient to catalyse the conversion of l micromole of substrate per minute per ml). The substrate for PPAT was 4phosphopantetheine (100 -) and ATP was also present in the reaction mix at a concentration of 100. If present, the compound was added as a DMSO solution, so that the final DMSO concentration is 1% vh.
Phosphate release was measured using the spectrophotometric assay as disclosed in Webb, vice supra.
C Measurement of ICso The inhibitory effect of a compound can be described by an IC50 value, that is the concentration of inhibitor at which half (50 /0) inhibition of the maximal (100%) inhibition occurs. ICso values were determined by measuring the extent of inhibition over a range of concentrations of the compound, preferably a range where the degree of inhibition varied from no inhibition (0 /O) to complete inhibition (100%). The IC50 value can be estimated from a plot of % inhibition against concentration of inhibitor, or can be calculated using data fitting programs, such Grafit (Elsevier) or EnzFitter (Biosoft).
