Description

TYLOSIN DERIVATIVES AND METHOD FOR PREPARATION THEREOF BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to new macrolide derivatives, in particular new tylosin derivatives; a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition comprising any of the derivatives; a method for preparation thereof; a method for treating and/or preventing bacterial infections in an animal, wherein the method comprises administering any of the derivatives or the composition; and a use of the derivatives for the manufacture of medicaments for treating and/or preventing bacterial infections in an animal.

Macrolides in generally have a chemical structure of 12-, 14- or 16-membered macrocyclic group (aglycone) substituted with 1 to 3 substituents such as neutral sugars, deoxy sugars or amino sugars.

Macrolides have a wide spectrum of antibacterial activities against for example Pneumococcus spp, Streptococcus spp, Hemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus, Actinobacillus spp, Pasteurella spp and atypical pathogen such as Mycoplasma, Legionella or Chlamydia that is resistant to other drugs.

Consequently, macrolides have been used for the treatment of among others a variety of respiratory tract infections. A variety of macrolides have been discovered or synthesized until now, typically including tylosin represented by the following formula: mycaminose HO O 3 OH O mycarose 1''' mycinose Tylosin has been used for the treatment of infections of Gram-positive bacterium and Mycoplasma in farm animals.

In order to further expand the spectrum of tylosin and to improve its oral bioavailability, a number of tylosin derivatives have been tested. Examples of such tylosin derivatives typically include among others tilmicosin and tulathromycin (tulathromycin belongs to a different class of compounds) represented by the following formulae, respectively: HO O O HO O OMe 1''' Tulathromycin OMe Tilmicosin H Tilmicosin and tulathromycin are useful for the treatment of pasteurellosis caused by Gram negative bacillus such as Pasteurella or Mannheimia. They are the most commonly used and important antibiotics in farm animals.

However, new antibiotics are inextricably associated with the emergence of resistant bacteria.

Accordingly, there is still a need to provide new antibiotics.

Accordingly, in a certain embodiment, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition comprising any of the compounds of the present invention. The composition may comprise therapeutically effective amount of the compound of the present invention, and if desired one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers.

The language “therapeutically effective amount” of the compound is that amount necessary or sufficient to treat or prevent a bacterial infection, e.g. prevent the various morphological and somatic symptoms of a bacterial infection, and/or a disease or condition described herein. In an example, an effective amount of the compound of the invention is the amount sufficient to treat a bacterial infection in a subject. The effective amount can vary depending on such factors as the size and weight of the subject, the type of illness, or the particular compound of the invention. For example, the choice of the compound of the invention can affect what constitutes an “effective amount.” One of ordinary skill in the art would be able to study the factors contained herein and make the determination regarding the effective amount of the compounds of the invention without undue experimentation.

The regimen of administration can affect what constitutes an effective amount. The compound of the invention can be administered to the subject either prior to or after the onset of a bacterial infection.

Further, several divided dosages, as well as staggered dosages, can be administered daily or sequentially, or the dose can be continuously infused, or can be a bolus injection. Further, the dosages of the compound(s) of the invention can be proportionally increased or decreased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic or prophylactic situation.

Compounds of the invention may be used in the treatment of states, disorders or diseases as described herein, or for the manufacture of pharmaceutical or veterinary compositions for use in the treatment of these diseases. Methods of use of compounds of the present invention in the treatment of these diseases, or pharmaceutical or veterinary preparations comprising compounds of the present invention for the treatment of these diseases are also included in embodiments of the present invention.

The language “pharmaceutical or veterinary composition” includes preparations suitable for administration to mammals, e.g., farm animals such as cows. When the compounds of the present invention are administered as pharmaceuticals to mammals, e.g., cows, they can be given per se or as a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition containing, for example, 0.1 to 99.5% (more preferably, 0.5 to 90%) of active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” is art recognized and includes a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle, suitable for administering compounds of the present invention to mammals. The carriers include liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting the subject agent from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Each carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the patient.

Formulations of the present invention include those known in the art. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any methods well known in the art of pharmacy. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be that amount of the compound that produces a therapeutic effect. Methods of preparing these formulations or compositions are also known in the art.

The term “treat,” “treated,” “treating” or “treatment” includes the diminishment or alleviation of at least one symptom associated or caused by the state, disorder or disease being treated. In certain embodiments, the treatment comprises the induction of a bacterial infection, followed by the activation of the compound of the invention, which would in turn diminish or alleviate at least one symptom associated or caused by the bacterial infection being treated. For example, treatment can be diminishment of one or several symptoms of a disorder or complete eradication of a disorder.

Especially treatment of mastitis is curing or ameliorating an animal that has contracted mastitis, i.e. reducing at least one symptom of mastitis. Mastitis refers to inflammation of the mammary gland.

Physical, chemical and usually bacteriological changes in the milk and pathological changes in the glandular tissue characterize it. The glandular changes often result in a number of symptomatic conditions such as, discoloration of the milk, the presence of clots and the presence of large numbers of leukocytes. Clinically, mastitis is seen as swelling, heat, pain and induration in the mammary gland often resulting in deformation of the udder. An inflamed udder can be visibly seen or determined through palpation of the udder. In many cases the diagnosis of subclinical infections has come to depend largely on indirect tests which depend on the leukocyte content of the milk (flakes, clots, or serous milk), at least 1 bacterium is detected in at least 100 μL of milk from the udder, elevated somatic cell count (SCC) usually higher than 300,000 cells/mL and/or the electrical conductivity of the milk is increased from normal. Prevention of mastitis means preventing the occurrence of the infection. Prevention also includes treatment of cows that do not exhibit any signs of mastitis but are in the presence of other cows that do have at least one sign of mastitis to minimize or prevent the transmission or potential transmission of mastitis from one cow to another.

These compounds may be administered to humans and other animals for therapy by any suitable route of administration.

Regardless of the route of administration selected, the compounds of the present invention, which may be used in a suitable hydrated form, and/or the pharmaceutical or veterinary compositions of the present invention, are formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms by conventional methods known to those of skill in the art.

Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical or veterinary compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient which is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient.

The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the particular compound of the present invention employed, or the ester, salt or amide thereof, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular compound employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts.

A physician or veterinarian having ordinary skill in the art can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the pharmaceutical or veterinary composition required. For example, the physician or veterinarian could start doses of the compounds of the invention employed in the pharmaceutical or veterinary composition at levels lower than that required in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved.

In general, a suitable daily dose of a compound of the invention will be that amount of the compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above. Generally, intravenous and subcutaneous doses of the compounds of this invention for a patient, when used for the indicated analgesic effects, will range from about 0.0001 to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, more preferably from about 0.01 to about 50 mg per kg per day, and still more preferably from about 1.0 to about 100 mg per kg per day.

An effective amount is that amount treats a bacterial infection.

If desired, the effective daily dose of the active compound may be administered as two, three, four, five, six or more sub-doses administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day, optionally, in unit dosage forms.

While it is possible for a compound of the present invention to be administered alone, it is preferable to administer the compound as a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition.

The antibacterial activity by the compounds of the present invention may be measured using a number of assays available in the art.

In this test 7 to 12 representative bacteria belonging to 7 bacterial species that typically cause mastitis in dairy cattle, i.e.

Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS), Streptococcus uberis, Streptococus dysgalactiae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Arcanobacterium pyogenes and Escherichia coli, were exposed to two-fold dilutions of the test compounds. After 24 hours of incubation the concentration that inhibited the growth of this bacteria was determined. The results are shown in table 8 below. It could be shown that all these bacterial mastitis pathogens were highly susceptible to the test compounds.

Brouillette, G. Grondin, C. Lefebvre, B.G.

Talbot, F. Malouin, Mouse mastitis model of infection for antimicrobial compound efficacy studies against intracellular and extracellular forms of Staphylococcus aureus, Veterinary Microbiology, 101, (2004), 253-262). Into the glands of lactating mice S. aureus bacteria (strain Newbould) were instilled and allowed to multiply. Bacterium S. aureus Newbould is an isolate which was isolated from a clinical case of bovine mastitis and which also causes typical mastitis infection in dairy cattle upon experimental, intramammary infection. Four hours after the intramammary infection of lactating mice with S. aureus Newbould, compound YT709 was instilled into the infected glands. Different intramammary dosages of YT709 were tested and their efficacy compared to an infected, untreated control group. Fourteen hours after intramammary application of YT709, the glands of the treated and untreated mice were removed, homogenized and the number of S. aureus bacteria counted in 10-fold dilutions of the homogenized 8.64 glands. The mean S. aureus count of 8 untreated glands was 10 (8.64 log10) bacteria. The mean S. .10 aureus count in 6 glands that had been treated with 200 microgram YT709 was 10 bacteria (5.10 log10). Hence in the glands treated with 200 microgram YT709 the number of bacteria was reduced about 3500 fold. The mean S. aureus count in the 5 glands that had been treated with 400 microgram 2.34 YT709 was 10 bacteria (2.34 log10). Hence in the glands treated with 400 microgram YT-709 the number of bacteria was reduced about two million fold. In the mice from which the lactating glands had been treated with 400 microgram YT709, S. aureus bacteria could not be counted anymore in measurable numbers and hence in 2 out of 5 glands the infection was cleared.
