Description

BIS-INDOLIR PIRROLS USEFUL AS ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS Related Requests This application claims priority for United States Provisional Application Number 60 / 539,053, filed on January 23, 2004 and United States Provisional Application Number 60 / 627,235, filed at November 12, 2004 incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background of the Invention Field of the Invention The present invention relates to certain compounds and methods for the preparation and use of certain compounds in the fields of chemistry and medicine. More specifically, the present invention relates to compounds and methods for making and using compounds useful as antimicrobial agents, and refers to pharmaceutical dosage forms comprising such compounds. Description of the Related Art Antimicrobials are generally used to destroy or suppress the growth or reproduction of microbes such as bacteria. Antimicrobial compounds can act on target microbes in a variety of ways. For example, the antimicrobial compound can prevent the synthesis of DNA or protein, - - it can alter the cell wall of a microbe either by altering the permeability of the cell wall or by altering the synthesis and repair of the cell wall. Although there are numerous known antimicrobial compounds, and numerous known mechanisms by which antimicrobial compounds can function, problems have recently increased in the availability of antibiotic treatment options, for both early and late stage infections, by bacteria. There are many reasons for the increase in the problems, but a main reason refers to the biological weapons design potential of resistant isolates and the evolutionary development of resistance to existing antibiotics. Therefore, new antimicrobials and new sources of antimicrobials are desirable and of great value. There are many characteristics that may be relevant when trying to decide whether or not a particular compound is useful as an antimicrobial. Relevant factors include, but are not limited to, the relative potency of the compound against a specific microbe or against a spectrum of microbes, and the relative selectivity of the antimicrobial activity of the compound to direct the invading pathogen against the host organism. There are also long-term problems, including the likelihood that the microbe may develop resistance to one or more compounds - antimicrobials. There are also practical problems, such as the cost and commercial availability of the antimicrobial compound. A possible source of antimicrobial compounds are natural marine derived products. The oceans are massively complex and host a diverse assembly of microbes that occurs in environments of extreme pressure, salinity, and temperature variations. Marine microorganisms have developed unique metabolic and physiological capacities that not only ensure survival in extreme habitats, but also offer the potential to produce metabolites that would not be observed from terrestrial microorganisms. (Okami, Y. 1993 J. Mar Biotechnol, 1:59). Representative structural classes of such metabolites include terpenes, peptides, polyketides, and compounds with mixed biosynthetic origins. Many of these molecules exhibit anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive activities (Bull, AT et al., 2000 Microbiol.Mol. Biol.Rev., 64: 573; Cragg, GM & DJ Newman 2002, Trends Pharmacol Sci. 23: 404, Kerr, RG &SS Kerr 1999 Exp. Opin. Ther. Patents 9: 1207; Moore, BS 1999 Nat. Prod. Rep. 16: 653; Faulkner, DJ 2001, Nat. Prod. Rep. 18: 1; Mayer, AM &VK Lehman 2001 Anticancer Res. 21: 2489), validating the usefulness of this source of therapeutic isolation agents. further, the isolation of new antibiotics that represent alternative mechanical classes for those currently commercial, will probably lead to resistance based on the mechanism that they have been manufactured as pathogens for purposes of biological terrorism. One such class of compounds, studied in other unrelated fields of research, is bis-indole pyrrole and in particular, chromopyrrolic acid. A subset of this class of molecules is described by Hoshino et al., (Biosci, Biotech, Biochem 57, 775-781 (1993)). Hashimoto et al., Tetrahedron letters. 35: 2559-2560 (1994) suggests that a particular derivative, a double substituted pyrrole with two methoxy carbonyls symmetrically bound to prrol, has moderate anti-HSV-1 virus activity in vitro. The functionality of this compound and its analogues is not well understood. Other references have examined similar derivatives for these compounds (Frode et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 35: 1689-1690 (1994)). More recently, Sodeoka et al., (US Pat. No. 6,589,977, issued July 8, 2003), which is incorporated herein by reference, has suggested a role for bis-indole pyrrole derivatives as inhibitors of cell death Sodeoka et al., Examined various pyrrole derivatives of bis-indole for their inhibitory activity of cell death.

In certain preferred embodiments, Rg at the -5 position and R6 at the -2 position are not identical esters or identical carboxylic acid groups, if all R3 and R are either hydrogen or hydroxy, or alternatively R6 at the 5- position and Rs in the 2- position are not identical if all R3 and R4 are either hydrogen or hydroxy, or alternatively, R6 in the 5- position and Rs in the 2-position are not identical. In some embodiments, amides (-CO- NR8R9) are included as possible substitution (s) to Rx-R6. In some embodiments, the amide is only a substituent on R6. In some embodiments, when there is an amide, there are at least three halides in the combination of R3 and R4. R8 and R9 can be independently selected from a hydrogen, saturated Cx-C24 alkyl, unsaturated Cx-C24 alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, aryl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, substituted heteroaryl, phenyl, and substituted phenyl groups. In some embodiments, R8 and R9 may be selected from a list of possible substituents for R7. In some embodiments, NR8R9 comprises a ring. That is, when taken together, R8 and R9 can form a ring, for example, - (CH2) 4- or - (CH2) 2 -R? O- (CH2) 2-RX0- (CH2) 2 to form a 5 or 6 membered ring together with the N atom wherein RXo is selected from CH2, NH, O and S.

In these examples, n is an integer from 1 to 6 and R7 is selected from the possible substituents of R7 described above. In one embodiment, the antimicrobial comprises any bis-indole pyrrole. In preferred embodiments, any of the above substitutions to Formula I, in any of the positions Rx-Rs are contemplated. In preferred embodiments, although it is allowed to substitute R1-R5 with any of the above-mentioned possible substitutions, each R6 is selected separately from the group consisting of an alkoxycarbonyl and a carbonyl group. In preferred embodiments, the two R6 are two methoxy carbonyl. In other preferred embodiments, R6 is a single methoxy carbonyl. In another embodiment, R6 is two carboxyls. In preferred embodiments, R6 is a single carboxyl group. In one embodiment, the general class of bis-indole pyrroles and bis-indole pyrrole analogs includes substitution (s) in Rx, R2, R3, R4 and R5 which can independently be any of the above-mentioned substitutions. , including multiple substitutions as permissible, with the proviso that the substitution (s) in R6 is limited to asymmetric substitutions.

In an even more preferred embodiment, the alkoxycarbonyl is located at the 2-position of the prrol ring. Even in a more preferred mode, the alkoxycarbonyl is a methoxycarbonyl. In an alternative mode, although the substitutions in R6 are limited only to asymmetric substitutions, there can not be a link between position 2 of the two indols. In an even more preferred embodiment, the base structure shown in Formula I can not be different, except as explicitly noted by the symbols Rx-Rs. In another modality, the substitution (s) in Rx, R, R5 and R6 may (independently) be any of the above-mentioned substitutions, including multiple substitutions as permissible, although the substitution (s) in R3 and R4 comprise (n) at least one halogen. In another embodiment, the only non-hydrogen substitutions in R3 and R4 are Cl atoms. In another embodiment, R3 represents substitutions of two chlorine atoms at positions 5 and 6 of indolyl, although the 2-position of pyrrole is an alkoxycarbonyl. In one embodiment, the substitutions at R3 and R4 are asymmetric substitutions comprising at least one halogen atom. In another embodiment, the substitutions in R3 and R4 are symmetrical, but the substitution (s) is selected from the halogen group, including Cl, F, Br, and I. In another embodiment, although the substitution is symmetric, the identity of the substitution in each indolyl is different. For example, in such embodiment, R3 may be a Cl atom at the 5-position of the indolyl ring, although R4 may be an F atom at the 5-position of the indolyl ring. In addition, R3 and R can be symmetric or asymmetric substitutions in the indole. In another embodiment, at least one of the substituents on R3 and / or R comprises a halogen atom and R6 is an asymmetric substitution. In a preferred embodiment, although at least one of R3 and / or R comprises a halogen atom, R6 comprises an asymmetric acyl group with optional additional substitutions therein.

In another preferred embodiment, although at least one of R3 and / or R comprises a halogen, R6 comprises an alkoxycarbonyl. In - a modality, in the previous compounds, Rx, R2 and R? they are preferably hydrogen atoms. The numbering conventions for each of the rings is as follows. For substitutions to prrol, nitrogen is position 1, while the first carbon in clockwise rotation (as shown by the molecule in Formula I) is position 2; therefore the carbon to the left of the nitrogen, as shown in Formula I, is the 5-position. For indole substitutions on the right side of the structure deployed in Formula I, the nitrogen is the 1 'position, while the first carbon in the clockwise direction, with the indole as the center, is the 2 'position. The 3 'position forms a bond with the prrol, the next carbon is 3a', while the next 4 carbons are numbered 4 '-7', leaving the last carbon 7a ', which forms a bond with 3a'. the numbering for the indole on the left side is similar, except that the numbering runs in the counterclockwise direction, as shown by the molecule in Formula I, from nitrogen, 1"to carbon 7a".

It will also be appreciated that the phrase "compounds and compositions comprising the compound" or any similar phrase means encompassing compounds in any form suitable for pharmaceutical delivery, as discussed in greater detail herein. For example, in certain embodiments, the compounds or compositions comprising the same may include a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound. In one embodiment, the compounds can be used to treat microbial diseases. It is understood that the disease broadly covers infectious diseases, and also autoimmune diseases, non-infectious diseases, and chronic conditions.

For example, one group R can be - (CH2) - and the other group R can be - (CH2) 2- and the otherwise free ends of the two R groups can be linked together to form a five-membered ring. Similarly, instead of the two groups R being directly linked together, they can be linked through a group, for example R10, to form a 6-membered ring. Rxo can be selected from CH2, NH, O, and S. An example of this is shown in Formula XXI-B. The term, "alkyl amine" or "aminoalkyl" refers to an alkyl group that associates with an amine. Thus, the aminoalkyls can be represented by the formula (CH2) nNR8R9 wherein n can be any integer, for example, from 1 to 6. The groups R (R8 and R9) can be the same or different.

The term "sugars" refers to saccharides, such as mono, di or tri saccharides. Various exemplary sugars were previously listed under carbohydrates. The term "asymmetrically substituted" refers to a point of symmetry that goes through the nitrogen group of the pyrrole and through the bond formed between the carbon 3 and the carbon 4 of the prrol group. The real three-dimensional structure of the compound is not considered determinant if the compound is symmetric. Thus, for example, a substitution R6 would be asymmetric if the substitution at position 5 of the pyrrole at position 2 of the pyrrole was not the same. As another example, a compound with different substitutions R3 and R4 of both indole rings would also be asymmetric. The phrase "wherein a ring may include one or more additional hetero-atoms" or such a phrase indicates a substitution in the atoms comprising the structure of the ring itself. Therefore, these may include substitutions of the atoms that create the indole rings or the prrol ring. Unless denoted otherwise, the reference to a "ring" will denote the indole and / or prrol ring. The terms "pure", "purified", "substantially purified" and "isolated" as used herein, refer to the compound of the mode found to be free of other dissimilar compounds with which the compound, if found in its state natural, it would be associated in its natural state. In certain embodiments described as "pure", "purified", "substantially purified" or "isolated" herein, the compound may comprise at least 0.5% to 1%, i% to 5%, 5% to 10%, % to 20%, 20% to 50%, 50% to 70%, 70% to 90%, 90% to 95%, 95% to 99% and 99% to 100%. In some embodiments, the amount of the compound will be at least 50% or 75% of the mass, by weight, of a given sample. In some embodiments, a final product of bis-indole pyrrole can be considered purified if there is more of the final bis-indole pyrrole in a sample than there is of the initial bis-indole pyrrole. Therefore, if there is no initial bis-indole pyrrole present in a sample, in this embodiment, any amount of a bis-indole pyrrole will suffice. A "functional purity" is a measurement of the amount of a particular compound in a sample or product relative to other compounds in a sample, which may adversely impact the function of the compound. Therefore, other components in a sample that do not interfere with the activity of the compound (e.g., water), will not be used to determine the purity of a sample or product. In some embodiments, products created by the methods described herein are contemplated. Therefore, in some modalities, it is not the presence of a molecule with a structure of a given formula that is important, but the process described which results in the creation of a product with the desired properties. Unless explicitly noted, the phrases "compound of Formula #" and "compound #" are interchangeable. The terms "derivative", "variant", or other similar term refer to a compound that is an analogue of the other compound. Certain compounds of Formula (I) can be obtained and purified or can be obtained through semi-synthesis from purified modalities as described herein. Organism Production A microorganism that can be used for the production of bis-indole pyrroles, is a strain isolated from a marine sediment sample collected in Mission Bay, California. The culture (strain NPS012745) was deposited on January 7, 2004 with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) in Rockville, MD and assigned the ATCC patent deposit number PTA-5748.

In addition to the specific microorganism described herein, mutants, such as those produced by the use of mutagen, should be understood. chemical or physical, including X-rays, etc., and organisms whose genetic production has been modified by molecular biology techniques, can also be grown to produce bis-indole pyrrole compounds. Fermentation of strain NPS012745 The production of bis-indole pyrrole compounds of Formulas II, III, IV, VI and XI can be carried out by culturing strain NPS012745 in a suitable nutrient medium under the conditions described herein, preferably under submerged aerobic conditions, until detecting a substantial amount of compounds in the fermentation; harvesting by extraction of the active components of the fermentation broth with a suitable solvent; concentrating the solution containing the desired components; then subjecting the concentrated material to chromatographic separation to isolate the compounds of other metabolites also present in the culture medium. The production of compounds can be achieved at a temperature that leads to satisfactory growth of the organism produced, eg, from 16 degrees C to 40 degrees C, but it is preferable to conduct the fermentation at 22 degrees C to 32 degrees C. The aqueous medium can be incubated during a period of time necessary to complete the production of compounds monitored by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), preferably for a period of about 2 to 10 days, on a rotary shaker operating at about 50 rpm at 300 rpm, preferably at 150 rpm at 250 rpm, for example. The growth of microorganisms can be achieved by the person skilled in the art through the use of the appropriate medium. Broadly, carbon sources include, glucose, fructose, mannose, maltose, galactose, mannitol and glycerol, other sugars and sugar alcohols, starches and other carbohydrates, or carbohydrate derivatives such as dextran, cerelosa, as well as complex nutrients such as oat flour, corn flour, millet, corn, and the like. The exact amount of the carbon source used in the medium will depend in part on the other ingredients in the medium, but an amount of carbohydrate between 0.5 to 25 percent by weight of the medium, for example, can be used satisfactorily. These carbon sources can be used individually or several such carbon sources can be combined in the same medium, for example. Certain carbon sources are preferred as described below. Sources of nitrogen include amino acids such as glycine, arginine, threonine, methionine and the like, ammonium salt, as well as complex sources such as yeast extracts, soaked corn liquors, distilled solubles, soybean meal, soybean meal. cotton, fish meal, peptone and the like. The various nitrogen sources can be used alone or in combination in amounts ranging from 0.5 to 25 percent by weight of the medium, for example. Among the inorganic nutrient salts, which may be incorporated in the culture medium, are the regular salts capable of producing sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, sulfate, chloride, carbonate ions and the like. Also included are trace metals such as cobalt, manganese, iron, molybdenum, zinc, cadmium, and the like. The following is an exemplary fermentation protocol that can be used to prepare a batch of 10 1 organisms including bis-indole pyrroles of Formulas II, III, IV, VI and XI: 1. Inoculate the initial culture or the frozen culture. in 10 ml of culture medium and incubate at 28 degrees C and 250 rpm for 3 days. 2.

It can be added to the coatings of tablets or pellets dyes or pigments for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses. Such formulations can be made using methods known in the art (see, for example, US Patents Nos. 5,733,888 (injectable compositions); 5,726,181 (compounds of low solution in water); 5,707,641 (therapeutically active proteins or peptides); 5,667,809 (lipophilic agents); 5,576,012 (polymeric de-solubilization agents); 5,707,615 (anti viral formulations); 5,683,676 (medicaments in particles); 5,654,286 (topical formulations); 5,688,529 (oral suspensions); 5,445,829 (extended release formulations); 5,653,987 (liquid formulations); 5,641,515 (controlled release formulations) and 5,601,845 (spheroidal formulations); all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In addition, various pharmaceutical compositions well known in the pharmaceutical art for uses including intraocular, intranasal and intraauricular delivery are described herein. Pharmaceutical formulations include aqueous ophthalmic solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form, such as ophthalmic drops, or in gel gum (Shedden et al., Clin. Ther., 23 (3): 440-50 (2001)) or hydrogels (Mayer et al., Ophthalmologica, 210 (2): 101-3 (1996)); ophthalmic ointments; ophthalmic suspensions, such as micro particles, small polymer particles containing drugs suspended in a liquid vehicle medium (Joshi, A. 1994 J. Ocul. Pharmacol 10: 29-45), lipid-soluble formulations (Aim et al., Prog. Clin Biol. Res., 312: 447-58 (1989)), and microspheres (Mordenti, Toxicol, Sci. 52 (l): 101-6 (1991)); and eye inserts. All the aforementioned references are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Such suitable pharmaceutical formulations are formulated more frequently and preferably to be sterile, isotonic and buffered for stability and comfort. The pharmaceutical compositions may also include drops and sprays frequently prepared to stimulate nasal secretions in many aspects to ensure the maintenance of a normal ciliary action. As described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing, 18th edition), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and well known to those skilled in the art, suitable formulations are more frequently and preferably isotonic, slightly buffered to maintain a pH of 5.5 to 6.5, and more frequently and preferably include appropriate antimicrobial condoms and drug stabilizers. Pharmaceutical formulations for intra-auricular delivery include suspensions and ointments for topical application in the ear. Common solvents for such otic formulations include glycerin and water. When used as an antimicrobial compound, the compound of Formula (I) or the compositions that include Formula (I) can be administered either orally or non-orally. When administered orally, it can be administered in the form of a capsule, tablet, granules, spray, syrup or other such. When administered non-orally, it may be administered as an aqueous suspension, an oil preparation or the like, or as a drip, suppository, ointment, ointment or the like, when administered by injection, subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, intravenously, intramuscularly or the similar. In one embodiment, antimicrobials can be mixed with additional substances to improve their effectiveness. In one embodiment, the antimicrobial is combined with an additional antimicrobial. In another modality, the antimicrobial is combined with a drug or medication that helps a patient taking antimicrobials. Methods of Administration In an alternative embodiment, the chemical compounds described and the pharmaceutical compositions described are administered by a particular method such as an antimicrobial. Such methods include, among others, (a) administration via oral routes, the administration of which includes administration in the form of a capsule, tablet, granules, spray, syrup, or other such; (b) administration through non-oral routes, whose administration includes administration as an aqueous suspension, an oil preparation or the like as a drip, suppository, ointment, ointment or the like; administration by injection subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, intravenously, intramuscularly, intradermally or the like; as well as (c) topical administration, (d) rectal administration, or (e) vaginal administration, as deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art to contact the compound of the present modality with living tissue; and (f) administration through controlled release formulations, depot formulations, and infusion pump delivery. As further examples of such modes of administration and as further description of the modes of administration, various methods are described herein for the administration of the chemical compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described including modes of administration through intraocular, intranasal and intraauricular routes. The pharmaceutically effective amount of the bis-indole pyrrole and analogous compositions, required as a dose, will depend on the route of administration, the type of animal, including human, being treated, and the physical characteristics of the specific animal under consideration. The dose can be designed to achieve a desired effect, but will depend on factors such as weight, diet, concurrent medication and other factors that will be recognized by those skilled in the medical art. In the practice of the modality methods, the products or compositions can be used alone or in combination with each other, or in combination with other agents - therapeutic or diagnostic. These products may be used in vivo, ordinarily in a mammal, preferably in a human, or in vitro. When used in vivo, the products or compositions can be administered to the mammal in a variety of forms, including parenterally, intravenously, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, colonicly, rectally, vaginally, nasally or intraperitoneally, using a variety of dosage forms. Such methods can also be applied to test chemical activity in vivo. As will be clearly apparent to the person skilled in the art, the useful in vivo dose to be administered and the particular mode of administration will vary depending on the age, weight and species of mammal treated, the compounds employed, and the specific use for which these compounds are used. The determination of effective dose levels, i.e., the dose levels necessary to achieve the desired result, can be achieved by one skilled in the art using routine pharmacological methods. Typically, the clinical to human applications of the products are initiated at lower dose levels, increasing the dose level until the desired effect is achieved. Alternatively, acceptable in vitro studies can also be used to establish the useful doses and routes of administration of the compositions identified by the present methods using established pharmacological methods. In studies of non-human animals, applications of potential products are initiated at higher dose levels, decreasing the dose until the desired effect is no longer achieved or until the adverse side effects disappear. The dose can vary widely, depending on the desired effects and the therapeutic indication. Typically, the doses may be between about 10 micrograms / kg and 100 mg / kg body weight, preferably about 100 micrograms / kg and 10 mg / kg body weight. Alternatively, the doses may be based and calculated according to the patient's surface area, as understood by those skilled in the art. The administration is preferably oral on a daily basis or twice daily. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be selected by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition. See, for example, Fingí et al., In The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 1975, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. It should be noted that the attending physician will know how and when to finalize, interrupt or adjust administration due to toxicity, or organ dysfunction. On the contrary, the attending physician will also know how to adjust the treatment to higher levels if the clinical response is not adequate (avoiding toxicity). The magnitude of a dose administered in the management of the disorder of interest will vary with the severity of the condition being treated and with the route of administration. The severity of the condition, for example, can be evaluated in part, by means of standard forecasting methods. In addition, the dose, and perhaps the frequency of the dose, will also vary according to age, body weight, and the response of the individual patient. A program comparable to the one previously treated in veterinary medicine can be used. Depending on the specific conditions to be treated, such agents can be formulated and administered systemically or locally. A variety of techniques for formulation and administration can be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 18th ed. , Mack Publishing Co. , Easton PA (1990), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Suitable routes of administration may include oral, rectal, transdermal, vaginal, transmucosal, or intestinal administration; parenteral delivery, including intramuscular, subcutaneous, intramedullary injections, as well as intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intranasal or intraocular injections. For injection, the modality agents can be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hank's solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For such transmucosal administration, appropriate penetrants are used in the formulation to penetrate the barrier. Such penetrants are generally known in the art. The use of pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles for formulating the compounds described herein for the practice of the modality in doses suitable for systemic administration, is within the scope of the modality. With proper vehicle selection and proper manufacturing practice, the compositions described herein, in particular those formulated as solutions, may be administered parenterally, such as by intravenous injection. The compounds can be easily formulated using pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art in doses suitable for oral administration. Such vehicles allow formulation of the compounds of the modality such as tablets, pills, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, mixtures, suspensions and the like for oral ingestion by the patient being treated. The agents that are intended to be administered intracellularly can be administered using techniques well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. for example, such agents can be encapsulated in liposomes, then administered as described above. All molecules present in an aqueous solution at the time of liposome formation are incorporated into the aqueous interior. The liposomal content is protected from the external micro environment, and, because the liposomes fuse with the cell membranes, they are efficiently delivered into the cell cytoplasm. Additionally, due to their hydrophobicity, small organic molecules can be administered directly intracellularly. The determination of effective amounts is within the ability of those skilled in the art, especially in light of the detailed description provided herein. In addition to the active ingredients, these pharmaceutical compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries that facilitate the processing of the active compounds into preparations that can be used pharmaceutically. Preparations formulated for oral administration may be in the form of tablets, troches, capsules or solutions. The pharmaceutical compositions can be manufactured in a manner known per se, for example, by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, pelletizing, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilizing processes.
- The compounds described herein can be evaluated for their efficacy and toxicity using known methods. For example, the toxicology of a particular compound, or of a subset of the compounds, which share certain chemical residues, can be established by determining in vitro toxicity to a cell line, such as a mammalian, and preferably human, cell line. The results of such studies are often predictive of toxicity in animals, such as mammals, or more specifically humans. Alternatively, the toxicity of the particular compounds in an animal model, such as mice, rats, rabbits, dogs or monkeys, can be determined using known methods. The efficacy of a particular compound can be established using various recognized methods, such as in vitro methods, clinical tests in animal models, or in humans. There are in vitro models recognized in the art for almost any kind of condition, including the conditions diminished by the compounds described herein, including, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and various immune dysfunctions, and infectious diseases. Similarly, acceptable animal models can be used to establish the efficacy of chemicals to treat such conditions. By selecting a model to determine efficacy, the skilled artisan can be guided by the state of the art to select a model, dose, and route of administration and appropriate regimen. Of course, clinical trials in humans can also be used to determine the efficacy of a compound in humans. When used as an antimicrobial, the compounds described herein may be administered by both oral and non-oral routes. When administered orally, they can be administered in capsule, tablet, granule, spray or other form. When administered non-orally, they can be administered as an aqueous suspension, an oil preparation or the like or as a drip, suppository, ointment, ointment or the like, when administered by injection, subcutaneously, intraperitoneally, intravenously, intramuscularly, intradermally or the similar. Similar formulations are contemplated in the tank, and the supply in infusion pump. The compositions described herein in pharmaceutical compositions may also comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Such compositions can be prepared for storage and for subsequent administration. Acceptable carriers or diluents for therapeutic use are well known in the pharmaceutical art, and are described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co. (A.R. Gennaro, edition 1985). For example, such compositions can be formulated and used as tablets, capsules or solutions for oral administration; suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration; Sterile solutions or suspensions for injectable administration. The injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in liquid prior to injection, or as emulsions. Suitable excipients include, but are not limited to, saline, dextrose, mannitol, lactose, lecithin, albumin, sodium glutamate, cysteine hydrochloride, and the like. In addition, if desired, the injectable pharmaceutical compositions may contain minor amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances, such as wetting agents, pH buffering agents, and the like. If desired, absorption enhancing preparations (e.g., liposomes) can be used. The pharmaceutically effective amount of the composition, required as a dose, will depend on the route of administration, the type of animal being treated, and the physical characteristics of the specific animal under consideration. The dose can be designed to achieve a desired effect, but it will depend on factors such as weight, diet, concurrent medication and other factors that will be recognized by experts in medical technology. The products or compositions of the embodiment, as described above, may be used alone or in combination with each other, or in combination with other therapeutic or diagnostic agents. These products can be used in vivo or in vitro. Useful doses and most useful modes of administration will vary depending on the age, weight and animal treated, and the particular compounds employed, and the specific use for which this composition or compositions are employed. The magnitude of a dose in the management or treatment of a particular disorder will vary with the severity of the condition being treated and with the route of administration, and depending on the conditions and severity of the disease, the compositions can be formulated and administered either systemically or locally. A variety of techniques for formulation and administration can be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 18th ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton PA (1990). To formulate the compounds of Formula (I) as an antimicrobial, known surface active agents, excipients, softening agents, suspending agents and pharmaceutically acceptable film-forming agents and coating auxiliaries and the like can be used. Preferably, alcohols, esters, sulfated aliphatic alcohols, and the like can be used as surface active agents; can be used as excipients sucrose, glucose, lactose, starch, cellulose - crystallized, mannitol, light anhydrous silicate, magnesium aluminate, magnesium metasilicate aluminate, synthetic aluminum silicate, calcium carbonate, sodium acid carbonate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, calcium carboxymethyl cellulose and the like; hardened oil softeners and the like can be used as softening agents; suspending agents or lubricants may be coconut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, soy; as suspending agents, cellulose acetate phthalate can be used as a derivative of a carbohydrate such as cellulose or sugar, or methylacetate-methacrylate copolymer as a polyvinyl derivative; and plasticizers such as ester phthalates and the like can be used as suspending agents. In addition to the above preferred ingredients, sweeteners, fragrances, colorants, preservatives, and the like can be added to the administered formulation of the compound produced by the method of the embodiment, particularly when the compound is to be administered orally. The compounds and compositions can be administered orally or non-orally to a human patient in the amount of from about 0.001 mg / kg / day to about 10,000 mg / kg / day of the active ingredient, and more preferably from about 0.1 mg / kg / day to about 100 mg / kg / day of the active ingredient, preferably once a day, or less preferably, about two to about ten times a day. Alternatively, and also preferably, the compound produced by the method of the embodiment may be administered preferably in the amounts determined continuously, for example, by intravenous drip. Thus, for the example of a patient weighing 70 kilograms, the preferred daily dose of the active or anti-infective ingredient would be from about 0.07 mg / day to about 700 gm / day, and more preferably, 7 mg / day to about 7 grams /day. However, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, in certain situations it may be necessary to administer the anti-infective compound (s) of the modality in amounts exceeding or even exceeding by far the dose range previously determined to be effective and effective. Aggressively particularly advanced infections. In the case of using the antimicrobial produced by the modality methods as a biochemical test reagent, the compound produced by the modality methods inhibits the progress of the disease when it is dissolved in an organic solvent or a hydrous organic solvent and applies directly to any of the various cultivated cell systems. Usable organic solvents include, for example, methanol, - methylsulfoxide and the like. For example, the formulation can be a powder, granular or other inhibitor, or a liquid inhibitor prepared using an organic solvent or a hydrous organic solvent. Although the preferred concentration of the compound produced by the method of the modality for use as an antimicrobial, anti-cancer or anti-tumor compound is generally in the range of about 1 to about 100 μg / ml, the most appropriate use amount varies depending on the type of cultured cellular system and the purpose of use, as will be appreciated by persons of ordinary skill in the art, also, in certain applications it may be necessary or preferred for those skilled in the art to use an amount outside the above range. In one embodiment, the method of using a compound of Formula I as an antimicrobial involves administering an effective amount of a bis-indole pyrrole. In a preferred embodiment, the method involves administering the compound represented by Formula II, to a patient in need of an antimicrobial, until effectively reducing the need or more preferably withdrawing it. As will be understood by the person skilled in the art, "need" is not an absolute term and merely implies that the patient can benefit from the treatment of the antimicrobial in use. By "patient" is meant an organism that can benefit from the use of an antimicrobial. For example, any organism with H. influenzae or E. coli can benefit from the application of an antimicrobial that can in turn reduce the amount of microbes present in the patient. In one modality, the health of the patient may not require the administration of an antimicrobial, however, the patient may still obtain some benefit by reducing the level of microbes present in the patient, and therefore need it. In one embodiment, the antimicrobial is effective against one type of microbe, but not against other types; therefore, allowing a high degree of selectivity in the treatment of the patient. In selecting such an antimicrobial, the methods and results described in the Examples may be useful. In an alternative embodiment, the antimicrobial is effective against a broad spectrum of microbes, preferably a broad spectrum of external and more preferably harmful bacteria, to the host organism. Even in another modality, the antimicrobial is effective against all microbes, even those natural to the host. Examples of microbes that may be targets for antimicrobials, include, but are not limited to B. anthracis, B. cereus, E. coli, S. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes, H. influenzae, S. epidermidis, S. aureus, E. faecalis, E. faecium and the like. "Therapeutically effective amount", "pharmaceutically effective amount" or a similar term means that amount of drug or pharmaceutical agent that will result in the biological or medical response sought from a cell, tissue, system, animal or human. In a preferred embodiment, the medical response is sought by an investigator, veterinarian, medical doctor or other physician. "Antimicrobial" refers to a compound that reduces the probability of survival of microbes. In one modality, the probability of survival is determined as a function of an individual microbe; therefore, the antimicrobial will increase the chance of an individual microbe dying. In one modality, the probability of survival is determined as a function of a population of microbes; therefore, the antimicrobial will increase the chances of a decrease in the microbial population. In one embodiment, antimicrobial means antibiotic or another similar term. Such antimicrobials are capable of destroying or suppressing the growth or reproduction of microorganisms, such as bacteria. For example, such antibacterials and other antimicrobials are described in Antibiotics, Chemotherapeutics and Antibacterial Agents for Disease Control (M. Grayson, editor, 1982), and Gale et al., The Molecular Basis of Antibiotic Action 2nd edition (1981) . In another modality, the antimicrobial will not change the likelihood of survival, but it will change the chances that the microbes will be harmful to the host in some way. For example, if the microbe secretes a substance harmful to the host, the antimicrobial can act on the microbe to stop the secretion. In one embodiment, an antimicrobial, while increasing the probability of the microbe dying, is minimally harmful to surrounding non-microbial cells. In an alternative embodiment, it is not important how harmful the antimicrobial is to non-microbial surrounding cells, while reducing the likelihood of survival of the microbe. In one embodiment, a bis-indole pyrrole is considered an effective antimicrobial if the bis-indole pyrrole can influence 10% of the microbes. In a more preferred embodiment, the bis-indole pyrrole is effective if it can influence 10 to 50% of the microbes. In an even more preferred embodiment, bis-indole pyrrole is effective if it can influence 50-80% of the microbes. In an even more preferred embodiment, the bis-indole pyrrole is effective if it can influence 80-95% of the microbes. In an even more preferred embodiment, the bis-indole pyrrole is effective if it can influence 95-99% of the microbes. "Influence" is defined by the mechanism of action of each compound. Therefore, for example, if a compound prevents the reproduction of microbes, then the influence is a measure of prevention of reproduction. Similarly, if a compound destroys microbes, then the influence is a measure of the death of the microbe. Not all the mechanisms of action need to be at the same percentage of effectiveness. In an alternative embodiment, a low percentage of effectiveness may be desirable if the lower degree of effectiveness is diverted by other factors, such as the specificity of the compound, for example. Therefore, a compound that is only 10% effective, for example, but deploys little in the way of harmful side effects to the host or non-harmful microbes, may still be effective. In one embodiment, the compounds described herein are administered simply to remove microbes, and do not need to be administered to a patient. For example, in situations in which microbes may present a problem, such as in food products, the compounds described herein may be administered directly to the products to reduce the risk of microbes in the products. Alternatively, the compounds can be used to reduce the level of microbes present in the surrounding environment, such as on work surfaces. After administering the compounds they can optionally be removed. This may be particularly desirable in situations where work surfaces or food products may come into contact with other surfaces or organisms that could risk being damaged by the compounds. In an alternative embodiment, the compounds can be left in the food products or on the work surfaces to allow more protection. Whether or not this is an option will depend on the relative needs of the situation and the risks associated with the compound, which may in part be determined as described in the following Examples. The following non-limiting examples are intended to describe the preferred embodiments of the methods. Variations in the details of the particular methods employed and in the precise chemical compositions obtained will undoubtedly be appreciated by those skilled in the art. EXAMPLE 1 Production of Compounds of Formulas II, III, IV, VI and XI. Fermentation. Strain NPS012745 was cultured in a 40 ml tube containing 10 ml of vegetative medium of the following per liter of seawater: starch, 10 g; yeast extract, 4 g; and peptone, 2 g. The culture was allowed to incubate for 3 days at 28 degrees C on a rotary shaker operating at 250 rpm. The vegetative culture was mixed with 2 ml of cryoprotective solution consisting of 500 g of glycerol per liter of deionized water. Portions of - - were transferred 1. 5 ml of this mixture to a sterile cryogenic tube (2 ml capacity). The vegetative cultures thus obtained were frozen and stored at -80 degrees C.

Directed biosynthesis One embodiment refers to new antibiotic compounds, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which are de-chlorinated analogs; brominated; fluorinated; or of azatriptophan of the compounds of formula I produced by biosynthesis directed with the organism producing the compounds of Formula I or their mutants. The fermentation process is completed under aerobic conditions submerged in an aqueous medium containing carbon and nitrogen nutrient for a sufficient time to produce the new antibiotics. EXAMPLE 2 Production of dechlorinated compound NPS012745 of Formula IX Fermentation. The seed culture of the strain NPS012745 was prepared by transferring 1.5 ml of the cryopreservative culture to a 40 ml tube containing 10 ml of sterile vegetative medium consisting of the following per liter of seawater: starch, 10 g; yeast extract, 4 g; and peptone, 2 g. The seed culture was incubated at 28 degrees C for 3 days on a rotary shaker operating at 250 rpm. Five ml of this seed culture was inoculated in a 500 ml flask containing 100 ml of the vegetative medium.

'. The production culture was incubated at 28 degrees C for 7 days on a rotary shaker operating at 250 rpm. The culture broth was extracted with an equal volume of ethyl acetate. The extract was dried in vacuo. The dry extract, containing the dechlorinated compound NPS012745, was then processed for the recovery of the new dechlorinated analog NPS012745 of Formula IX. Purification. The compound of Formula IX was obtained by reverse phase HPLC using Gilson HPLC equipped with a fraction collector 215 using detection by UV absorbance at 214 nm. The crude extract was dissolved in 10 ml of pure DMSO. The aliquots (900 ml) of this solution were injected onto a reverse phase HPLC column (ACE 5u C18-HL, 150 mm long by 21 mm ID) using a solvent gradient of 40% ACN / 60% H20 at 100% ACN for 15 min at a flow rate of 14.5 ml / min.
- The compound of Formula IX eluted at 10.5 min and the fractions containing the pure compound of consecutive runs were drained and dried to yield 5.6 mg of compound, with a purity of > 97%. An additional purification step was used by semi-preparative reverse phase HPLC to eliminate brown discoloration of the sample. The sample (5.6 mg) was dissolved in 100% DMSO at a concentration of 1.0 mg / ml and then 250 ml was loaded onto an HPLC column of dimensions of 9.4 mm i.d. 250 mm long containing an Eclipse XDB-C18 support. The solvent gradient linearly increased from 60% MeOH / 40% H20 to 100% MeOH for 16 minutes at a flow rate of 3 ml / min. The solvent composition was then maintained at 100% MeOH for 3 minutes before returning to the initial solvent mixture. The compound of Formula IX eluted at 9.5 min as a white solid with a final purity of 98.7%. The spectroscopic characteristics of the compound of Formula IX include the following: UV spectrometry (acetonitrile / H20)? Max = 225.269 sh 321. Mass spectrometry: HRESI MS M + H = 414.1449? Ca? C24H20N3O4 (414.1454) = 1.2 ppm and XE NMR (CD2Cl2) see Table 1. EXAMPLE 3 Production of fluorinated NPS012745 compounds Fermentation. The seed culture of the strain - NPS012745 was prepared by transferring 1.5 ml of the cryopreservative culture to a 40 ml tube containing 10 ml of sterile vegetative medium consisting of the following per liter of seawater: starch, 10 g; yeast extract, 4 g; and peptone, 2 g. The seed culture was incubated at 28 degrees C for 3 days on a rotary shaker operating at 250 rpm. Five ml of this seed culture was inoculated in a 500 ml flask containing 100 ml of the vegetative medium. The second seed culture was incubated at 28 degrees C for 2 days on a rotary shaker operating at 250 rpm. Five ml of each of the second seed cultures were inoculated into a 500 ml flask containing 100 ml of the production medium consisting of the following per liter of deionized water; starch, 10 g; yeast extract, 4 g; and peptone, 2 g and synthetic sea salt (Instant Ocean, Aquarium Systems), 30 g. The production culture was incubated at 28 degrees C for 7 days on a rotary shaker operating at 250 rpm. 5-fluorotriptophan (25 mg in 8 ml of 0.01% NaOH) or 6-fluorotriptophan (25 mg in 8 ml of 0.01% NaOH) was added to the production culture. The production culture was further incubated at 28 degrees C for 5 days on a rotary shaker operating at 250 rpm. The culture broth was extracted with an equal volume of ethyl acetate. The extract was dried in vacuo. The dry extract, containing the fluorinated NPS012745 compounds, was then processed for recovery - of new fluorinated NPS012745 analogs. Purification of 6-fluoro analogues. In order to isolate the 6-fluoro analogs from the complex crude extract (2.28 g), a reverse phase preparatory HPLC method was used for the initial purification step. The crude extract was dissolved in 36 ml of solvent mixture 5: 4 DMSO / MeOH and 900 ml of aliquots of this solution were injected onto a reverse phase HPLC column (ACE 5u C18-HL, 150 mm length by 21 mm ID ) on a Gilson HPLC system. The solvent gradient started at 50% MeOH / 50% H20 and linearly increased to 80% MeOH / 20% H20 for 15 minutes and then continued to 100% MeOH in 2 minutes at a flow rate of 14.5 ml / min. UV absorbance at 214 nm was used to detect elution of compounds and fractions were collected every 0.5 minutes using the fraction collector 215. The desired compounds were eluted between 10.5 and 17 minutes and these fractions were analyzed using conventional analytical HPLC methods to determine its composition. Further purification of the individual compounds was achieved using an isocratic method of normal phase HPLC developed in a Hitachi HPLC system with preparation pump L-7150. A fraction (91.0 mg) enriched in the compound of Formula XVII was dissolved in EtOAc to a final concentration of 10 mg / ml and 300 ml of - aliquots were loaded onto a normal phase silica column (Phemomenex Luna Si lOu, 100 A; 250 mm long by 21.2 mm id). A 45 minute HPLC method containing an isocratic solvent system of 62% Hex / 38% EtOAc at a flow ratio of 14.5 ml / min was used to separate the desired compound of Formula XVII from the other components. Chromatography was monitored by UV absorbance at 210 nm and the peaks were collected manually. The compound of Formula XVII was eluted after 25 minutes with > 90% purity. Another fraction (32.3 mg) that was enriched in the compound of the Formula XXII was processed using the same method and the parameters described above. The compound of formula XXII was eluted to 38 minutes yielding 5.3 mg of a relatively pure compound. The normal phase isocratic method was transferred to a Gilson HPLC equipped with pump heads with a maximum flow rate of 200 ml / min and a 215 Gilson fraction collector, using UV absorbance at 214 nm. A fraction (8.8 mg) obtained from the partial purification of the crude extract and containing the compound of Formula XXV was dissolved in EtOAc to a final concentration of 1 mg / ml and 350 ml of aliquots were injected onto a normal phase silica column. (Phenomenex Luna Si 10 μ, 100Á, 250 mm long by 21.2 mm id). An isocratic solvent gradient with a solvent mixture of 62% Hex / 38% EtOAc and a flow ratio of 14.5 ml / min was used to isolate the compound of Formula XXV, which was eluted as a relatively pure compound after 27 minutes The UV and NMR spectroscopic data for the products described above are presented below.

Purification of 5-fluoro analogs The initial phase of reverse phase purification - used to separate components of the crude extract containing 5-fluoro analogs was identical to that described above for the initial purification of 6-fluoro analogues. The resulting fractions eluting between 10 and 17 minutes were analyzed by HPLC-MS to determine the composition of each fraction. The fractions obtained from the partial purification of the crude extract described above were further purified to obtain pure compounds. One of the fractions contained a mixture of compounds of Formulas XVIII and XXII. An isocratic method of normal phase HPLC using 62% hexane / 38% EtOAc and a flow ratio of 14.5 ml / min was used to separate the two compounds. The fraction (24.8 mg) was dissolved in EtOAc to a final concentration of 6 mg / ml and 350 ml of aliquots were injected onto a normal phase silica column.
(Phenomenex Luna Si 10 μ, 100Á, 250 mm long by 21.2 mm id). The relatively pure compounds of the formulas XXIII and XVIII were eluted after 29 minutes and 35 minutes, respectively. Other fractions obtained from the partial purification of the crude extract were further processed to obtain analogs of Formulas XX, XXI 'and XXIV using the same isocratic method described above for the compounds of Formulas XXIII and XVIII. The compound of Formula XX - - was eluted after 35 minutes with a purity of > 98%. The compound of Formula XXI 'was eluted after 25 minutes; however, the sample appeared to contain approximately 30% of the compound of Formula II. The compound of Formula XXIV was eluted after 26 minutes; this compound was further purified by dissolving in 750 μl of 2: 1 H20 / MeOH (6.2 mg of the compound), loaded onto a C-18 Sep-pak, and eluted with 10 ml of 70% MeOH / 30% H20.

Purification The brominated analogs of Formulas XV, XV and XVI were isolated from the crude extract (376 mg) through two rounds of reverse phase HPLC on a Gilson HPLC equipped with a 215 Gilson fraction collector using UV absorbance detection at 214 nm for both rounds. The crude extract was dissolved in 9 ml of pure DMSO and 500 ml of the sample was injected onto a reverse phase HPLC column (ACE 5u C18-HL, 150 mm length by 21 mm ID) per round. A linear surface gradient of 60% MeOH / 40% H20 at 100% MeOH was used for 22 minutes at a flow rate of 14.5 ml / min to separate the compounds of Formulas XV, XV or XVI almost eluting the compound of the Formula II. Separation of the compounds of Formula XV of XVI required additional reverse phase preparatory HPLC. The sample containing both compounds was dissolved in 1: 1 DMSO / MeOH at a concentration of 1.0 mg / ml and 500 ml was loaded on a reverse phase HPLC column (ACE 5u C18-HL, 150 mm length by 21 mm ID) .

EXAMPLE 6 Formation of Semisynthetic Derivatives on the Basis of Hydrolysis Preparation of Hydrolysis Products of Esters VII, VIII, and XII A mixture of the compounds of Formulas II and VI was hydrolyzed to obtain the corresponding carboxylic acids as follows. The solid sample (24 mg) was dissolved in ACN (6 ml) and basified by the addition of a 2N solution of sodium hydroxide (5 ml). This resulted in a two-phase mixture. In order to form a mixable solution, 1 ml of methanol and 5 ml of water were added. The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 60 hours, after which the reaction was acidified by the addition of 20 ml of 5% HCl solution. This solution was extracted with EtOAc (40 ml x 3), the combined organic extracts were dried using MgSO 4 and dried in vacuo. A separate sample of the compound of Formula III was hydrolyzed using conditions identical to those described above. The organic extract containing the compounds of Formulas VIII and XII was purified by reverse phase HPLC using an ACE 5U 250 × 10 mm column with elution of the compounds using a gradient of MeOH / H20. Under these conditions, the compound of Formula VIII (the hydrolysis product of the compound of Formula VI) was eluted at 11.5 minutes while the compound of Formula XII was eluted at 16.5 minutes. The compound of Formula VII (the hydrolysis product of the compound of Formula III) was similarly purified and eluted at 15.5 minutes. The spectroscopic data for the above compounds of the particular formulas are described below. Compound of Formula VII: UV spectrometry (acetonitrile / H20)? Max = 230.290.

Biological Analysis EXAMPLE 7 Antimicrobial Analysis Minimum inhibitory concentrations are determined (MICs) according to the susceptibility test guide of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M7-A5 (Ferraro, M. 2001 Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically; Approved Standard (NCCLS), National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS), Villanova) to quantify the antimicrobial activity of the compounds of the present modality against various pathogenic bacteria. The susceptibility test is carried out by microdilution of the broth in accordance with the National guidelines Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). This procedure involves combining the test compounds with a standardized number of cells, incubating at the appropriate temperature and amount of time for each particular organism, and visually rating the concentration at which no growth was apparent in the test wells. The panel includes both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant bacteria, both gram-positive and gram-negative, including S. aureus (both MSSA and MRSA), S. pneumoniae (wild-type and penicillin-resistant), E faecalis sensitive to vancomycin, E. faecium resistant to vancomycin, E. coli, H. influenzae and P. aeruginosa. The susceptibility test was performed by microdilution of the broth according to the guidelines of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). The antimicrobial data for the compounds of Formulas II, III, IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XXI ', XXII, XXIII, XXIV and XXV are shown in Tables 3m 4 and 5. Table 5 displays MIC values in microorganisms per ml of bis-indole pyrrole compounds against E. coli imp.
