The compounds are useful in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection. mple of the compounds is myo-inositol-pentakisphosphate-2-PEG(400). The compounds are enteric activators of Clostridium difficile toxin. The compounds are useful in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection.
Description
Pharmaceutical Compounds for use in the therapy of Clostridium difficile Infection
Description
The present invention s to enteric activators of Clostridium difi‘icile toxin, particularly poly-
phosphate derivatives, polysulfate derivatives or mixed polyphosphate/sulphate derivatives of six—
membered cyclic polyols.
C/ostridium difficile is a species of Gram-positive bacteria that causes severe diarrhoea in human
patients. C. difficile ion (CDI) typically affects patients under antibiotic treatment since the
bacterium is only able to ze the colon of patients with depleted bacterial flora. The emergence of
otic-resistant strains of C. difficile causes increasingly severe ity and mortality due to the
spread of new, more virulent s, with recent outbreaks in North America and Europe.
C. difficile asymptomatically colonizes 2-5% of the human adult population. The bacteria form
spores,
which are difficult to neutralize by common methods of disinfection. As a result, C. difficile infections
are a common result of prolonged stays in hospitals; the pathogen is considered the leading cause of
hospital-associated diarrhoea in the USA.
Current therapy of choice is oral application of metronidazole or, in case of e of the former,
vancomycin. Since clinical symptoms of CDI are caused by two toxic proteins ed by C. difficile in
the colon, rather than by the presence of the ia itself, efforts have been made recently to target
these toxins (e.g. employing polymeric binders), but have so far failed in clinical trials.
C. le enterotoxin (toxin A, Tch) and cytotoxin (toxin B, Tch) are the main contributors to the
symptoms of disease (for a toxin biology review, see Voth and Ballard, Olin/ca! Microbiology Reviews
2005, 18, 247-263). In brief, both toxins are composed of four domains, a first domain mediating the
attachment of the toxin to cells; a second one facilitating translocation into the cytosol; a third domain
causing the cleavage of the toxic domain by autoproteolysis, and finally the toxic domain or “warhead”
itself, which causes the physiological effects of the toxin in the affected cell.
Reineke et al. (Nature 2007, 446, 415) identified myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) as the natural
trigger of TodA/Tch ocessing in the cell l. Egerer et al. (PLoS Pathog. 2010, 6,
42) and Shen et al. (Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 2011, 18, 364) suggested targeting the IP6-induced
autoprocessing mechanism as a means of therapeutic intervention against toxin—mediated
enicity.
Kreimeyer et al. suggested using IP6 pharmaceutically to intervene in CDI (Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's
Arch. Pharmacol. 2011
, 383, 253). However, this ch is not feasible as the presence of high
calcium concentrations in the colon precipitates lP6 and ts it from being active.
Thus, the objective of the present invention is to provide improved ent options for patients
suffering from CDI, or at least to provide a useful ative to known treatments for patients suffering
from CDI. This objective is attained by the subject-matter of the independent claims.
Definitions
The term alkyl or alkyl group in the context of the present invention signifies a saturated hydrocarbon
moiety, which may be , branched, cyclic or cyclic with linear or branched side chains. The term
alkyl includes partially unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propenyl. Examples are methyl, ethyl, n- or
isobutyl, n- or cyclohexyl. The term alkyl may extend to alkyl groups linked or d by hetero atoms.
Hetero atoms in the context of the present invention are nitrogen (N), sulfur (S) and oxygen (0).
A C1-C3 alkyl in the context of the present invention signifies a saturated linear or ed
hydrocarbon having 1, 2, or 3 carbon atoms, wherein one -carbon bond may be unsaturated
and one CH2 moiety may be exchanged for oxygen (ether bridge). Non-limiting examples for a C1-C3
alkyl are methyl. ethyl, propyl, prop—Z-enyl and prop—Z-inyl.
A 01—05 alkyl in the context of the present invention signifies a saturated linear or ed
hydrocarbon having 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 carbon atoms, wherein one or two carbon~carbon bond may be
unsaturated and one CH2 moiety may be ged for oxygen (ether bridge). Non—limiting examples
for a 01-05, alkyl include the examples given for C1—C3 alkyl above, and additionally l, 2-
methylpropyl, tent-butyl, 3-methylbut—2-enyl, 2-methylbut—3-enyl, 3-methylbutenyl, n-pentyl, 2-
methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 1,2—dimethylpropyi, but-S—enyl, but-
3-inyl and pentinyl.

A ccharide in the context of the present invention signifies a
sugar sing three, four. five.
six or seven carbon atoms. Examples are glyceraldehyde (C3), erythrose or threose (C4), arabinose,
ribose or xylose (05) glucose, mannose, galactose or fructose (C6) or sedoheptulose (C7). The
sugar
alcohols and amino sugars of CS, C4, CS, C6 and C7 ccharides are ed in the

A r of a given group of monomers is a homopolymer (made
up of a multiple of the same
monomer); a copolymer of a given selection of monomers is a heteropolymer constituted by

The ion is based on a novel design of small—molecule analogues of lP6 that are provided as an
oral therapy to trigger the cleavage of the toxin in the colon lumen, thereby detaching the warhead
before it reaches its destination, and rendering it harmless. Since |P6 itself cannot be used for this
purpose because it is not soluble at the high calcium concentrations found in the colon iumen, the
present invention provides new ues of |P6 with improved solubility.
