Description

COMPOUNDS AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC USE
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to di- and tricarboxylic acid analogues that inhibit bacterial chorismate synthase, and to their therapeutic use as antibiotics.
5 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 10 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 include, amongst others, trirnethoprim and the sulfonamide drugs.
Chorismate synthase, an enzyme in the shikimate pathway has been 15 shown to be essential for bacterial viability (EP0913480). Compounds that inhibit this enzyme could therefore be useful antibacterial agents.
The identification of compounds of the invention as inhibitors of bacterial charismata syntheses is novel and they are structurally distinct from previously synthesized antibiotics.
20 Summary of the Invention
This invention relates to compounds, and more specifically to di- and tri-
carboxylic acid analogues and to their pharmaceutical compositions defined by Formula 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are claimed as the active ingredients in 25 medicines for the treatment of bacterial infection in man and animals.

They are especially useful for the treatment of infections caused by gram positive organisms such as S. aureus. In particular, they exhibit inhibition of the enzyme charismata synthase in the shikimate pathway which has been shown to be essential for bacterial viability (EP0913480). The compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are claimed as the active ingredients in 15 medicines for the treatment of bacterial infection in man and animals.
Descriotion of the Invention Certain compounds of this invention are preferred.
The term "C,.6 alkyl" as used herein refers to straight and branched chain alkyl groups having up to 6 C atoms. Examples are methyl, ethyl, propyl, 20 isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl. "Alkyl" may have the same meaning.
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 25 mixtures of these enantiomers. The enantiomers may be obtained by methods known to those skilled in the art. Such methods typically include resolution via formation of diastereomeric salts or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallisation; resolution via formation of diastereomeric derivatives or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallisation, gas-liquid 30 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 into another chemical entity by one of the separation processes described above, at least one further step will 5 subsequently be required to liberate the desired enantiomeric form.
Alternatively, specific enantiomers may be synthesized 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 10 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 crystal ligation 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.
15 Some compounds of Formula 1 may exist in the form of solvates, for example, hydrates, which also fall within the scope of the present invention.
The compounds of Formula 1 may form organic or inorganic salts, for example, the compounds of Formula 1 may form addition salts with inorganic or organic acids, e.g. hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric 20 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. Iysine or arginine or with organic bases e.g. 25 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 1 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 30 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.
"Pharmaceutically acceptable salts" are acid addition salts which can be 5 prepared by any of the art recognised means. Typical acid addition salts include hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydrolodide, sulphate, phosphate, acetate, prop ionate, lactate, ma l ate, succi nate, tartrate, and cyclohexanesul phamates.
As used hereinafter, the term "active compound" denotes a compound of Formula 1 including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In therapeutic 10 use, the active compound may be administered orally, rectally, parenterally, topically, ocularly, aurally, nasally, intravaginally or to the buccal cavity, to give a local and/or systemic effect. Thus the therapeutic compositions of the present invention may take the form of any of the known pharmaceutical compositions for such methods of administration. The compositions may be Formulated in a 15 manner known to those skilled in the art so as to give a controlled release, for example rapid release or sustained release, of the compounds of the present invention. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers suitable for use in such compositions are well known in the art of pharmacy. The compositions of the invention may contain 0.1-99% by weight of active compound. The compositions 20 of the invention are generally prepared in unit dosage form. Preferably the unit dosage of active ingredient is 1500 mg. The excipients used in the preparation of these compositions are the excipients known in the pharmacist's art.
Compositions for oral administration are preferred compositions of the invention and there are known pharmaceutical forms for such administration, for 25 example tablets, capsules, granules, syrups and aqueous or oily suspensions.
Tablets may be prepared from a mixture of the active compound with fillers such as lactose or calcium phosphate, disintegrating agents, for example maize starch, lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, binders for example microcrystalline cellulose or polyvinyl pyrrolidone and other optional 30 ingredients known in the art to permit tableting the mixture by known methods.
The tablets may, if desired, be coated using known methods and excipients which may include enteric coating using for example
hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate. The tablets may be Formulated in a manner known to those skilled in the art so as to give a sustained release of the compounds of the present invention. Such tablets may, if desired, be provided with enteric coatings by known methods, for example by the use of cellulose 5 acetate phthalate.
Similarly, capsules, for example hard or soft gelatin capsules, containing the active compound with or without added excipients, may be prepared by known methods and if desired, provided with enteric coatings in a known manner. The tablets and capsules may conveniently each contain 0.1 to 1000 10 mg (for example 10 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg, or 800 mg) of the active compound. Other compositions for oral administration include, for example, aqueous suspensions containing the active compound in an aqueous medium in the presence of a non-toxic suspending agent such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and oily suspensions containing a compound of the 15 present invention in a suitable vegetable oil, for example sunflower oil.
The active compound may be Formulated into granules with or without additional excipients. The granules may be ingested directly by the patient or they may be added to a suitable liquid carrier (for example water) before ingestion. The granules may contain disintegrants (for example a 20 pharmaceutically acceptable effervescent couple formed from an acid and a carbonate or bicarbonate salt) to facilitate dispersion in the liquid medium.
Compositions for topical administration are also preferred compositions of the invention. The pharmaceutically active compound may be dispersed in a pharmaceutically acceptable cream, ointment or gel. A suitable cream may be 25 prepared by incorporating the active compound in a topical vehicle such as petrolatum and/or light liquid paraffin, dispersed in an aqueous medium using surfactants. An ointment may be prepared by mixing the active compound with a topical vehicle such as a mineral oil, petrolatum and/or a wax e.g. paraffin wax or beeswax. A gel may be prepared by mixing the active compound with a 30 topical vehicle comprising a gelling agent e.g. basified Carbomer BP, in the presence of water. Topically administrable compositions may also comprise a matrix in which the pharmaceutically active compounds of the present invention
are dispersed so that the compounds are held in contact with the skin in order to administerthe compounds transdermally. A suitable transdermal composition may be prepared by mixing the pharmaceutically active compound with a topical vehicle, such as described above, together with a potential transdermal 5 accelerate such as dimethyl sulphoxide or propylene glycol.

The support may be a single body containing the entire compound or a series of several bodies each containing part of the compound to be delivered.
30 In some Formulations it may be beneficial to use the compounds of the present invention in the form of particles of very small size, for example as obtained by fluid energy milling.
The compounds of the invention can be prepared by a number of different routes. Scheme 1 shows the preparation of compounds of Formula 1 by hydrolysis of ester-protected compounds of Formula 2. In Formula 2, Q. U. V, 5 X, Y and Z are as defined previously for Formula 1. R4 is as defined previously but if an amino-acid group is present, its acid or terminal amide group may be covalently linked to Wang or RINK resin. R6 and R7 can be independently hydrogen, C, 6 alkyl, an optionally substituted benzyl group, or a resin such as Wang or Merrifield resin. Basic hydrolysis of compounds of Formula 2 may be
10 achieved by reaction with an alkali metal hydroxide in water or an alcohol (with or without organic co-solvents) at a temperature range between 0 C and 1 00 C.
Acidic ester hydrolysis may be necessary if the starting material contains t-butyl ester or if there is an ester linkage to Wang resin. These may be cleaved using trifluoroacetic acid either neat or in combination with a co-solvent such as 15 dichloromethane. The reaction may be performed at between 0 C and 1 00 C.

25 Acad. Sci. (USA), 1992; 89: 4884887.
The reaction assay solution comprised 0.005 units of chorismate synthase (where 1 unit is sufficient to catalyse 1 mM of substrate per minute), FMN at a concentration of 10 mM and dimethyl sulfoxide (10% v/v). The substrate for chorismate synthase was EPSP (112 mM). An immiscible layer of mineral oil 30 (24% v/v) was placed over the aqueous assay solution and sodium dithionite
added below the mineral oil layer to initiate the enzymatic reaction. The sodium dithionite concentration was 1.5 mM although concentrations smaller than or greater than 1.5 mM may be used.
An inhibitor's IC50 value can be determined from the rate of phosphate 5 release in the presence of various concentrations of inhibitor compared to the base rate measured in the absence of inhibitor (3.26 mmole/l/min).
