Definitions

  • This invention relates to compounds, compositions containing them, their use in therapy, including their use as anti-mycobacterials, for example in the treatment of tuberculosis, and methods for the preparation of such compounds.
  • Mycobacterium is a genus in the class of bacteria called Actinobacteria with its own distinct family known as Mycobacteriacae.
  • Mycobacterium contains various obligate and opportunistic pathogens of animals, which may also be transmitted to humans and cause disease in humans, thus exhibiting a considerable zoonotic potential.
  • members of the Mycobacterium avium - intracellulare complex emerged as pathogens of human diseases, including lymphadenitis in children, pulmonary tuberculosis-like disease, and disseminated infections (occurring predominantly in immunocompromised persons, particularly AIDS patients).
  • MAIC includes M. intracellulare and 4 subspecies of M. avium , namely, M. avium subsp. avium, M. avium subsp. hominissuis, M. avium subsp. silvaticum , and M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis .
  • M. avium subsp. avium M. avium subsp. hominissuis
  • M. avium subsp. silvaticum e. avium subsp. paratuberculosis
  • members of the M. tuberculosis complex are transmitted by direct host contact
  • MAIC species are acquired predominantly from environmental sources, including soil, water, dust, and feed.
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a small aerobic non-motile high-GC bacillus with an “outer-membrane” that is unusually thick, “waxy,” hydrophobic, rich in mycolic acids, and extremely impermeable, making mycobacterium infections difficult to treat.
  • MTB Mycobacterium tuberculosis
  • One third of the world's population is thought to be infected (including latent MTB), but this number increases to upwards of 80% of the population in many Asian and African countries. If untreated, the death rate from active MTB infections is more than 50%.
  • the combination of HIV and MTB is deadly and increasing numbers of MTB strains are becoming resistant to standard of care drugs; approximately 300,000 new cases of multidrug resistant (MDR) M.
  • MDR multidrug resistant
  • MDR Multidrug resistant
  • XDR extensive drug resistant M. tuberculosis
  • FIG. 1 XDR M. tuberculosis has been reported across much of the globe.
  • the continuation phase could include Isoniazid and ethambutol for six months when adherence cannot be assessed, but according to this report, a longer continuation phase is associated with a higher rate of failure and relapse, especially in patients with HIV infection.
  • the doses of antituberculosis drugs used should conform to international recommendation and fixed-dose combinations of two (isoniazid and rifampicin), three (isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide), and four (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol) drugs are highly recommended, especially when it is not possible to monitor the patient to ensure the treatment is ingested.
  • MDR-TB multi-drug resistant strains
  • tuberculosis drug SirturoTM (bedaquiline) was approved in the United States in late December 2012, and another, delamanid, is attempting to gain regulatory approval in the EU. However, both are reserved for drug-resistant tuberculosis, which accounts for just 5% of new cases.
  • a 2007 Editorial and News Focus in Nature Medicine discusses many aspects of TB such as pathogenesis, epidemiology, drug discovery and vaccine development to date ( Nature Medicine, 2007 , Focus on Tuberculosis , Vol 13(3), pages 263-312), noting that 125 years after the anniversary of the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , more than one-third of people in the world are infected with M. tuberculosis , and of these, more than 1 in 10 will develop the disease known as tuberculosis, formerly known as consumption, in their lifetime.
  • MDR-TB Mycobacterium tuberculosis
  • the present invention relates to tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds that show unexpected selectivity for inhibiting replication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tuberculosis ) versus inhibition (toxicity) of human cells compared to other benzoxaborole compounds, and exhibit sub-micromolar MIC values against mycobacterium species, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC), Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex (MAIC).
  • MTC Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
  • MAC Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium avium complex
  • MAIC Mycobacterium avium intracellulare complex
  • a benzoxaborole has the following structure and substituent numbering system:
  • Certain benzoxaboroles which are substituted at position 7 form a tricyclic benzoxaborole compound.
  • the resulting tricyclic benzoxaborole is additionally substituted with a halogen substituent at position 4 and an aminomethyl substituent at position 3, such compounds are surprisingly selective towards and effective against mycobacteria including M. tuberculosis .
  • the selectivity observed is assessed by comparing MIC values for such compounds relative to inhibition (toxicity) of these compounds to human cells, compared to other benzoxaborole compounds.
  • US20090227541 discloses a multitude of compounds, including two tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds with differing antibacterial activity against a panel of Gram negative bacteria (See e.g. Tables 1 and 2), but does not disclose tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds with halogen substitution on the benzoxaborole ring.
  • WO2012033858 discloses benzoxaborole compounds with activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis , including certain benzoxaborole compounds (see e.g. Examples 1.A through 1.V), but again, no tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds are disclosed with halogen substitution on the benzoxaborole ring.
  • US2013165411 discloses tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds showing activity against Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae (see Table 1), but notes specifically that the halogen-substituted tricyclic compounds investigated (Examples 17, 18 and 19) lack activity against A. baumannii , with MIC values ⁇ 16 ⁇ g/ ⁇ L antibacterial activity (see FIG. 1B ).
  • tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds as described herein show unexpected selectivity for inhibiting replication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tuberculosis ) versus inhibition (toxicity) of human cells compared to other benzoxaborole compounds. These tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds exhibit sub-micromolar MIC values against M. tuberculosis , which is comparable to or better than the MIC values for current therapies available for inhibiting M. tuberculosis . Further, in other embodiments, the tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds as described herein are envisioned for use in combination with current anti-tubercular compounds and are envisioned to achieve greater efficacy in treating animals, including humans, infected with M. tuberculosis.
  • TB tuberculosis
  • Compounds of Formula II or Formula IIa offer a unique opportunity to address the serious issues which arise during the treatment of TB, such as multi-drug resistance, extensive-drug resistance, reactivity and/or adverse interaction between therapeutic agents in a multi-drug combination, and treatment length, thereby addressing potential patient needs.
  • anti-tuberculosis agents and certain tricyclic benzoxaboroles, for use in the treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections in animals, including humans.

  • Resazurin is used as an oxidation-reduction indicator that yields a colorimetric change and a fluorescent signal in response to metabolic activity.

  • Tables 4A and 4B show a comparison of certain tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds with and without halogen substitution, certain tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds with and without halogen substitution at position 4 of the benzoxaborole ring structure, and certain bicyclic compounds. From the Mtb H37Rv MIC values (B), and the HepG2 cell 48 h Tox 50 values (A), it is possible to determine selectivity for inhibition of M. tuberculosis versus inhibition (toxicity) of human cells for these compounds (see far right column of Tables 4A and 4B).
  • Example 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-Cl were found to have selectivity indices against M. tuberculosis of 4177 and >12,500, respectively (see Table 4B). Further, as seen in Table 4B the IC 50 values for these compounds against M. tuberculosis were found to be sub-micromolar, at 0.13 and 0.1, respectively. As can be seen, the selectivity index (SI) of Example 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-Cl against M. tuberculosis is unexpectedly improved over other benzoxaborole compounds.
  • Example 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-Cl which are tricyclic benzoxaborole compounds having a halogen substituent at the C-4 position of the benzoxaborole ring and an aminomethyl substituent at position C3 of the benzoxaborole ring having “(S)” relative stereochemistry at that stereocenter, are surprisingly more selective for activity against M. tuberculosis than other benzoxaborole compounds lacking some of these features versus inhibition (toxicity) of human cells for these compounds.
  • the MIC values against M. tuberculosis H 37Rv strain for Example. 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-Cl are both ⁇ 0.1 ⁇ M in contrast to other benzoxaborole compounds in this study.
  • Example 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-Cl compares the SI of Example 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-Cl to the SI of C5-H, the (S) enantiomer of a non-tricyclic benzoxaborole comparator compound with a H at the C4 position of the benzoxaborole ring, one can see the SI of such a compound without a halogen substituent at C4 is only 3, indicating such a compound has very little selectivity for inhibiting M. tuberculosis compared to killing human cells.
  • Table 4B shows Example 9 G9-Br and Example 11 G11-Cl with SI indices of >167 and >185, respectively, whereas comparator compounds C9-Cl (a tricyclic benzoxaborole with a chloro substituent at C4 and —CH 3 substitution at R 3 and R 4 of the 7-membered ring) and C10-H (a tricyclic benzoxaborole with a hydrogen at C4 and —CH 3 substitution at R 3 and R 4 of the 7-membered ring) have SI indices of 10. This arguably indicates that substitution at the R 3 and R 4 positions is not favored for selectivity for M.
  • tuberculosis versus inhibition (toxicity) of human cells for these compounds. It also suggests that the presence of a halogen at position C4 of the benzoxaborole ring (see C9-Cl) is not sufficient to overcome the negative effect of methyl substitution at both R 3 and R 4 of the 7-membered tricyclic ring at the R 3 /R 4 position.
  • Example 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-Cl also have SI values unexpectedly higher than related open ring benzoxaboroles (substituted benzoxaboroles) lacking a halogen substituent at the C4 position of the benzoxaborole ring. Compare the SI for C5-H (5) to the SIs for Example 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-C1.
  • Benzoxaboroles that are not tricyclic benzoxaboroles but which have a halogen at the C4 position of the benzoxaborole ring show improved SIs relative to no halogen, but still exhibit SI values significantly lower than the SIs for Example 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-Cl (compare C5-H to C3-Br and C6-C1; but then compare all three C5-H, C3-Br and C6-Cl to the SI values of Example 2 G2-Br and Example 4 G4-Cl).
  • the tricyclic benzoxaboroles of the invention show surprisingly higher SIs relative to the SIs of related benzoxaboroles for M. tuberculosis versus human cells.
