FIELD

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods for treating a mammal having candidiasis, such as oral candidiasis and/or disseminated candidiasis, and/or an aspergillus infection.

BACKGROUND

Candidiasis encompasses fungal infections caused by a variety of species of the genus Candida, in particular mostly by Candida albicans, which is a yeast-like fungus. Candida spp. are normally present in the mouth, vagina, and intestines of healthy individuals; normal bacteria in these areas keep the amount of Candida spp. in check. Infection of candidal fungi normally depends on a weakened immune status of an individual to invade tissue that normally would be resistant to infection and the opportunity to gain access to the circulatory system. Candida infections that develop in immunocompromised individuals can affect the entire body (e.g., disseminated or systemic candidiasis) and may become life threatening. The most common condition is topical candidiasis (fungus growing on the surface of the body). An example of this is a common form of “diaper rash” in infants. Topical candidiasis can affect the skin, the vagina, the mouth (e.g., oral candidiasis) and the esophagus, and in immunocompromised individuals (e.g., HIV patients).
Candida infections are opportunistic and generally begin with increased colonization of the junction of mucous membranes and skin surfaces of vulnerable parts of the body such as, for example, oral, nasal, vaginal, and anal orifices, and the lining of the respiratory tract. Under some abnormal conditions, including the reduction of normal bacteria in a particular part of the body or skin defects such as wounds, ulcerations, and burns, the fungi can overgrow and cause infection of the outer layers of the skin and mucous membranes. This may occur in the mouth (oral thrush), in the vagina or penis (genital candidiasis), between folds and surfaces of skin (intertrigo), and in and around the nails (paronychia and onychomycosis).
In some instances, the fungus enters the bloodstream and causes disseminated disease affecting internal body organs such as the kidneys, spleen, lungs, liver, eyes, meninges, brain, and heart valves. This condition is called systemic or disseminated candidiasis; it can result in a range of diseases such as superficial mucocutaneous disease, candidiasis of the liver and spleen (hepatosplenic candidiasis), and peritonitis. This is usually seen in patients who are seriously ill with other diseases who have been receiving potent antibiotics that treat bacterial infection.
Oral candidiasis (sometimes referred to as “thrush”) is an infection in which the fungus of the genus Candida (a yeast) accumulates on the mucous membranes of the mouth. It is most often caused by Candida albicans, or less commonly by Candida glabrata or Candida tropicalis. If occurring in the mouth of a baby, the candidiasis is commonly referred to as oral thrush, whereas if occurring in the mouth or throat of an adult, it may also be termed candidosis or moniliasis.
Oral infection by Candida species may not be immediately noticeable but can develop suddenly and may persist for a long time. The infection usually appears as thick white or cream-colored deposits on mucosal membranes such as the tongue, inner cheeks, gums, tonsils, and palate. The infected mucosa may appear inflamed (red and possibly slightly raised) and sometimes have a cottage cheese-like appearance. The lesions can be painful and may become tender and often bleed if rubbed or scraped. Cracking at the corners of the mouth, a cottony-like sensation inside the mouth, and even temporary loss of taste can occur. In more severe cases, the infection can spread down the esophagus and cause difficulty swallowing, which is sometimes referred to as esophageal candidiasis. Thrush does not usually cause a fever unless the infection has spread beyond the esophagus to other body parts, such as the lungs (i.e., systemic candidiasis).
Although oral thrush can affect anyone, it is more likely to occur in babies and in people who wear dentures, use inhaled corticosteroids, or have compromised immune systems. Oral thrush and other Candida infections can occur when the immune system is weakened by disease or drugs such as prednisone, or when antibiotics disturb the natural balance of microorganisms in the body. Normally, the immune system repels harmful invading organisms, such as fungi, while maintaining a balance between “good” and “bad” microbes that normally inhabit the body. When these protective mechanisms fail, however, an oral thrush infection may take hold.
The following diseases or conditions may make one more susceptible to oral thrush infection:
1) HIV/AIDS. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) damages or destroys cells of the immune system, making one more susceptible to opportunistic infections. Repeated bouts of oral thrush may be the first sign of an HIV infection.
2) Cancer. The immune system is likely to be weakened from the disease and from treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. Both the disease and treatments can increase the risk of Candida infections such as oral thrush.
3) Diabetes mellitus. In untreated or under-treated diabetes, the saliva may contain large amounts of sugar, which encourages the growth of Candida.
4) Vaginal yeast infections. Vaginal yeast infections are caused by the same fungus that causes oral thrash. Although a yeast infection is not typically dangerous, a pregnant female can pass the fungus to the baby during delivery.
Oral candidiasis can be treated with topical anti-fungal drugs, such as nystatin, miconazole, Gentian violet, or amphotericin B. Topical therapy is normally provided as an oral suspension which is washed around the mouth and then swallowed by the patient. Patients who are immunocompromised, either with HIV/AIDS or as a result of chemotherapy, may require systemic treatment with oral or intravenous administered anti-fungals. Some anti-fungal medications, however, may cause liver damage. For this reason, a physician will likely perform blood tests to monitor liver function, especially if prolonged treatment is required or there is a history of liver disease.
Some Aspergillus species cause serious disease in humans and animals. The most common pathogenic species include Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus. Aspergillus flavus produces aflatoxin which is both a toxin and a carcinogen, and which can contaminate foods. The most common causing allergic disease are Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus clavatus. Other species, Aspergillus spp., are important agricultural pathogens.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The identification of a potent HDP mimetic (Compound 100), inter alia, that exhibits rapid membrane-disrupting activity against Candida albicans at low concentrations, using propidium iodide uptake is demonstrated here. In contrast to Histatin 5, Compound 100 treatment resulted in rapid efflux of ATP, and killing occurred even in the presence of sodium azide, which prevents membrane transport. Fluorescence microscopy, however, showed incorporation of the compound into the cells, suggesting a mechanism of self-promoted uptake. The compound also demonstrated a significant reduction of metabolic activity in mature biofilms of C. albicans grown at an air-liquid interface. To examine the activity of Compound 100 in vivo, an oral model of Candida infection was established in C57BI/6 mice. Animals were first treated for 5 days with oral tetracycline to reduce normal oral flora. An infection was initiated in the mice by inoculating a 50 μL suspension of C. albicans onto lightly scored tongues. This led to colonization of the tongues by days 2 to 4 after inoculation as measured by histological analysis and by recovery of viable colonies upon homogenization. Topical treatment of the infections on day 3 with a single 50 μL dose of a 1 mg/mL compound solution in a neutral hydrogel was sufficient to reduce the total colony counts by greater than 10-fold, equivalent to a similar treatment with an equivalent concentration of Nystatin suspension. These results, as well as those presented herein, suggest that the compounds described herein represent a strong potential source of fungicidal drugs.

As used herein, the phrase “therapeutically effective amount” means the amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response that is being sought in a tissue, system, animal, individual or human by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. The therapeutic effect is dependent upon the disorder being treated or the biological effect desired. As such, the therapeutic effect can be a decrease in the severity of symptoms associated with the disorder and/or inhibition (partial or complete) of progression of the disorder, or improved treatment, healing, prevention or elimination of a disorder, or side-effects. The amount needed to elicit the therapeutic response can be determined based on the age, health, size and sex of the subject. Optimal amounts can also be determined based on monitoring of the subject's response to treatment.
As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treated,” or “treating” mean both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) an undesired physiological condition, disorder or disease, or obtain beneficial or desired clinical results. For purposes herein, beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms; diminishment of extent of condition, disorder or disease; stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of condition, disorder or disease; delay in onset or slowing of condition, disorder or disease progression; amelioration of the condition, disorder or disease state or remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable; an amelioration of at least one measurable physical parameter, not necessarily discernible by the patient; or enhancement or improvement of condition, disorder or disease. Treatment includes eliciting a clinically significant response without excessive levels of side effects. Treatment also includes prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment.
At various places in the present specification, substituents of compounds may be disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that the disclosure include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term “C_1-6alkyl” is specifically intended to individually disclose methyl, ethyl, propyl, C₄alkyl, C₅alkyl, and C₆alkyl.
For compounds in which a variable appears more than once, each variable can be a different moiety selected from the Markush group defining the variable. For example, where a structure is described having two R groups that are simultaneously present on the same compound, the two R groups can represent different moieties selected from the Markush groups defined for R. In another example, when an optionally multiple substituent is designated in the form, for example,
then it is understood that substituent R can occur s number of times on the ring, and R can be a different moiety at each occurrence. Further, in the above example, where the variable T¹is defined to include hydrogens, such as when T¹is CH₂, NH, etc., any H can be replaced with a suitable substituent.
It is further appreciated that certain features of the disclosure, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, can also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the disclosure which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, can also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.
It is understood that the present disclosure encompasses the use, where applicable, of stereoisomers, diastereomers and optical stereoisomers of the compounds described herein, as well as mixtures thereof. Additionally, it is understood that stereoisomers, diastereomers, and optical stereoisomers of the compounds described herein, and mixtures thereof, are within the scope of the present disclosure. By way of non-limiting example, the mixture may be a racemate or the mixture may comprise unequal proportions of one particular stereoisomer over the other. Additionally, the compounds can be provided as a substantially pure stereoisomers, diastereomers and optical stereoisomers (such as epimers).
The compounds described herein can be asymmetric (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure unless otherwise indicated. Compounds that contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Methods of preparation of optically active forms from optically active starting materials are known in the art, such as by resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present disclosure. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds are also included within the scope of the disclosure and can be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms. Where a compound capable of stereoisomerism or geometric isomerism is designated in its structure or name without reference to specific R/S or cis/trans configurations, it is intended that all such isomers are contemplated.
Resolution of racemic mixtures of compounds can be carried out by any of numerous methods known in the art, including, for example, fractional recrystallization using a chiral resolving acid which is an optically active, salt-forming organic acid. Suitable resolving agents for fractional recrystallization methods include, but are not limited to, optically active acids, such as the D and L forms of tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, and the various optically active camphorsulfonic acids such as β-camphorsulfonic acid. Other resolving agents suitable for fractional crystallization methods include, but are not limited to, stereoisomerically pure forms of α-methylbenzylamine (e.g., S and R forms, or diastereomerically pure forms), 2-phenylglycinol, norephedrine, ephedrine, N-methylephedrine, cyclohexylethylamine, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and the like. Resolution of racemic mixtures can also be carried out by elution on a column packed with an optically active resolving agent (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). Suitable elution solvent compositions can be determined by one skilled in the art.
Compounds may also include tautomeric forms. Tautomeric forms result from the swapping of a single bond with an adjacent double bond together with the concomitant migration of a proton. Tautomeric forms include prototropic tautomers which are isomeric protonation states having the same empirical formula and total charge. Examples of prototropic tautomers include, but are not limited to, ketone-enol pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, lactam-lactim pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, enamine-imine pairs, and annular forms where a proton can occupy two or more positions of a heterocyclic system including, but not limited to, 1H- and 3H-imidazole, 1H-, 2H- and 4H-1,2,4-triazole, 1H- and 2H-isoindole, and 1H- and 2H-pyrazole. Tautomeric forms can be in equilibrium or sterically locked into one form by appropriate substitution.
Compounds also include hydrates and solvates, as well as anhydrous and non-solvated forms.
Compounds can also include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the intermediates or final compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium.
In some embodiments, the compounds, or salts thereof, are substantially isolated. Partial separation can include, for example, a composition enriched in the compound described herein. Substantial separation can include compositions containing at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 97%, or at least about 99% by weight of the compound, or salt thereof. Methods for isolating compounds and their salts are routine in the art.
Although the disclosed compounds are suitable, other functional groups can be incorporated into the compound with an expectation of similar results. In particular, thioamides and thioesters are anticipated to have very similar properties. The distance between aromatic rings can impact the geometrical pattern of the compound and this distance can be altered by incorporating aliphatic chains of varying length, which can be optionally substituted or can comprise an amino acid, a dicarboxylic acid or a diamine. The distance between and the relative orientation of monomers within the compounds can also be altered by replacing the amide bond with a surrogate having additional atoms. Thus, replacing a carbonyl group with a dicarbonyl alters the distance between the monomers and the propensity of dicarbonyl unit to adopt an anti arrangement of the two carbonyl moiety and alter the periodicity of the compound. Pyromellitic anhydride represents still another alternative to simple amide linkages which can alter the conformation and physical properties of the compound. Modern methods of solid phase organic chemistry (E. Atherton and R. C. Sheppard, Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis A Practical Approach IRL Press Oxford 1989) now allow the synthesis of homodisperse compounds with molecular weights approaching 5,000 Daltons. Other substitution patterns are equally effective.
The compounds also include derivatives referred to as prodrugs, which can be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent compounds. Examples of prodrugs include compounds as described herein that contain one or more molecular moieties appended to a hydroxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, or carboxyl group of the compound, and that when administered to a patient, cleaves in vivo to form the free hydroxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, or carboxyl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups in the compounds described herein. Preparation and use of prodrugs is discussed in T. Higuchi et al., “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” Vol. 14 of A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
Some of the compounds may be capable of adopting amphiphilic conformations that allow for the segregation of polar and nonpolar regions of the molecule into different spatial regions and provide the basic for a number of uses.
Compounds containing an amine function can also form N-oxides. A reference herein to a compound that contains an amine function also includes the N-oxide. Where a compound contains several amine functions, one or more than one nitrogen atom can be oxidized to form an N-oxide. Examples of N-oxides include N-oxides of a tertiary amine or a nitrogen atom of a nitrogen-containing heterocycle. N-Oxides can be formed by treatment of the corresponding amine with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or a per-acid (e.g., a peroxycarboxylic acid) (see, Advanced Organic Chemistry, by Jerry March, 4th Edition, Wiley Interscience).
The structures depicted herein may omit one or more necessary hydrogen atoms to complete the appropriate valency. Thus, in some instances a carbon atom or nitrogen atom, for example, may appear to have an open valency (i.e., a carbon atom with only two bonds showing would implicitly also be bonded to two hydrogen atoms; in addition, a nitrogen atom with a single bond depicted would implicitly also be bonded to two hydrogen atoms). For example, “—N” would be considered by one skilled in the art to be “—NH₂.” Thus, in any structure depicted herein wherein a valency is open, one or more hydrogen atoms is implicit, and is only omitted for brevity.

In any of the above embodiments, one or more of the compounds recited herein may be more effective (better IC₅₀or EC₅₀value) against a Candida species (such a C. albicans) than any one or more of E. coli 25922, S. aureus 27660, E. faecalis 29212, P. aeruginosa 10145, and K. pneumoniae 13883. Thus, one or more of the compounds recited herein may be more selective for a Candida species (such a C. albicans) than any one or more of E. coli 25922, S. aureus 27660, E. faecalis 29212, P. aeruginosa 10145, and K. pneumoniae 13883. Some of the active compounds described herein are, thus, highly selective for C. albicans over Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This may be advantageous in situations where one skilled in the art does not desire to disrupt normal flora within an individual. Thus, when administered to a mammal, any one ore more of the compounds recited herein may kill or inhibit the growth of Candida (such a C. albicans) or Aspergillus species without significantly disturbing the normal flora of the individual.
Polyamides and polyesters that are useful in the present disclosure can be prepared by typical condensation polymerization and addition polymerization processes (see, for example, G. Odian, Principles of Polymerization, John Wiley & Sons, Third Edition (1991), and M. Steven, Polymer Chemistry, Oxford University Press (1999)). Most commonly, the polyamides are prepared by a) thermal dehydration of amine salts of carboxylic acids, b) reaction of acid chlorides with amines, and c) aminolysis of esters. Methods a) and c) are of limited use in polymerizations of aniline derivatives which are generally prepared utilizing acid chlorides. The skilled chemist, however, will recognize that there are many alternative active acylating agents, for example, phosphoryl anhydrides, active esters or azides, which may replace an acid chloride and which, depending of the particular polymer being prepared, may be superior to an acid chloride. The acid chloride route is probably the most versatile and has been used extensively for the synthesis of aromatic polyamides.
Homopolymers derived from substituted aminobenzoic acid derivatives can also prepared in a stepwise fashion. A stepwise process comprises coupling an N-protected amino acid to an amine (or hydroxy group) and subsequently removing the amine-protecting group and repeating the process. These techniques have been highly refined for synthesis of specific peptides, allow for the synthesis of specific sequences, and both solid-phase and solution techniques for peptide synthesis are directly applicable to the present disclosure. An alternative embodiment is the corresponding polysulfonamides that can be prepared in analogous fashion by substituting sulfonyl chlorides for carboxylic acid chlorides.
The most common method for the preparation of polyureas is the reaction of diamines with diisocyanates (see, Yamaguchi et al., Polym. Bull., 2000, 44, 247). This exothermic reaction can be carried out by solution techniques or by interfacial techniques. One skilled in organic and polymer chemistry will appreciate that the diisocyanate can be replaced with a variety of other bis-acylating agents, such as phosgene or N,N′-(diimidazolyl)carbonyl, with similar results. Polyurethanes are prepared by comparable techniques using a diisocyanate and a dialcohol or by reaction of a diamine with a bis-chloroformate.
The syntheses of compounds described herein can be carried out by routine and/or known methods such as those disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2005-0287108, 2006-0041023, U.S. Pat. No. 7,173,102, International Publication Nos. WO 2005/123660, WO 2004/082643, and WO 2006/093813, and U.S. Application Publication No. 2010-0081665, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Numerous pathways are available to incorporate polar and nonpolar side chains. Phenolic groups on the monomer can be alkylated. Alkylation of the commercially available phenol will be accomplished with standard Williamson ether synthesis for the non-polar side chain with ethyl bromide as the alkylating agent. Polar sidechains can be introduced with bifunctional alkylating agents such as BOC-NH(CH₂)₂Br. Alternately, the phenol group can be alkylated to install the desired polar side chain function by employing the Mitsonobu reaction with BOC-NH(CH₂)₂-OH, triphenyl phosphine, and diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate. Standard conditions for reduction of the nitro groups and hydrolysis of the ester afford the amino acid. With the aniline and benzoic acid in hand, coupling can be effected under a variety of conditions. Alternatively, the hydroxy group of the (di)nitrophenol can be converted to a leaving group and a functionality introduced under nucleophilic aromatic substitution conditions. Other potential scaffolds that can be prepared with similar sequences are methyl 2-nitro-4-hydroxybenzoate and methyl 2-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoate.
Compounds described herein can also be synthesized by solid-phase synthetic procedures well know to those of skill in the art (see, Tew et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 2002, 99, 5110-5114; Barany et al., Int. J. Pept. Prot. Res., 1987, 30, 705-739, Solid-phase Synthesis: A Practical Guide, Kates, S. A., and Albericio, F., eds., Marcel Dekker, New York (2000); and Dörwald, F. Z., Organic Synthesis on Solid Phase: Supports, Linkers, Reactions, 2nd Ed., Wiley-VCH, Weinheim (2002)).
The compounds described herein can also be designed using computer-aided computational techniques, such as de novo design techniques, to embody the amphiphilic properties. In general, de novo design of compounds is performed by defining a three-dimensional framework of the backbone assembled from a repeating sequence of monomers using molecular dynamics and quantum force field calculations. Next, side groups are computationally grafted onto the backbone to maximize diversity and maintain drug-like properties. The best combinations of functional groups are then computationally selected to produce a cationic, amphiphilic structures. Representative compounds can be synthesized from this selected library to verify structures and test their biological activity. Novel molecular dynamic and coarse grain modeling programs have also been developed for this approach because existing force fields developed for biological molecules, such as peptides, were unreliable in these oligomer applications (see, Car et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 1985, 55, 2471-2474; Siepmann et al., Mol. Phys., 1992, 75, 59-70; Martin et al., J. Phys. Chem., 1999, 103, 4508-4517; and Brooks et al., J. Comp. Chem., 1983, 4, 187-217). Several chemical structural series of compounds have been prepared. See, for example, International Publication No. WO 2002/100295, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The compounds described herein can be prepared in a similar manner. Molecular dynamic and coarse grain modeling programs can be used for a design approach. See, for example, U.S. Application Publication No. 2004-0107056, and U.S. Application Publication No. 2004-0102941, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
After verifying the suitability of the force field by comparing computed predictions of the structure and thermodynamic properties to molecules that have similar torsional patterns and for which experimental data are available, the fitted torsions can then be combined with bond stretching, bending, one-four, van der Waals, and electrostatic potentials borrowed from the CHARMM (see, Brooks et al., J. Comp. Chem., 1983, 4, 187-217) and TraPPE (Martin et al., J. Phys. Chem., 1999, 103, 4508-4517; and Wick et al., J. Phys. Chem., 2000, 104, 3093-3104) molecular dynamics force fields. To identify conformations that can adopt periodic folding patterns with polar groups and apolar groups lined up on the opposite sides, initial structures can be obtained with the Gaussian package (see, Frisch et al., Gaussian 98 (revision A.7) Gaussian Inc., Pittsburgh, Pa. 1998). Then, the parallelized plane-wave Car-Parrinello CP-MD (see, Car et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 1985, 55, 2471-2474) program, (see Röthlisberger et al., J. Chem. Phys., 1996, 3692-3700) can be used to obtain energies at the minimum and constrained geometries. The conformations of the compounds without side-chains can be investigated in the gas phase. Both MD and MC methods can be used to sample the conformations. The former is useful for global motions of the compound. With biasing techniques (see, Siepmann et al., Mol. Phys., 1992, 75, 59-70; Martin et al., J. Phys. Chem., 1999, 103, 4508-4517; and Vlugt et al., Mol. Phys., 1998, 94, 727-733), the latter allows efficient sampling for compounds with multiple local minimum configurations that are separated by relatively large barriers.
The potential conformations are examined for positions to attach pendant groups that will impart amphiphilic character to the secondary structure. Compounds selected from the gas phase studies with suitable backbone conformations and with side-chains at the optimal positions to introduce amphiphilicity can be further evaluated in a model interfacial system. n-hexane/water can be chosen because it is simple and cheap for calculations while it mimics well the lipid/water bilayer environment. Compound secondary structures that require intercompound interactions can be identified by repeating the above-mentioned calculations using a periodically repeated series of unit cells of various symmetries (so called variable cell molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo technique) with or without solvent. The results of these calculations can guide the selection of candidates for synthesis.
The compounds described herein can be administered in any conventional manner by any route where they are active. Administration can be systemic, topical, or oral. For example, administration can be, but is not limited to, parenteral, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, transdermal, oral, buccal, sublingual, or ocular routes, or intravaginally, by inhalation, by depot injections, or by implants. The mode of administration can depend on the pathogen or microbe to be targeted. The selection of the specific route of administration can be selected or adjusted by the clinician according to methods known to the clinician to obtain the desired clinical response.
In some embodiments, it may be desirable to administer one or more compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, locally to an area in need of treatment. This may be achieved, for example, and not by way of limitation, by local infusion during surgery, topical application, e.g., in conjunction with a wound dressing after surgery, by injection, by means of a catheter, by means of a suppository, or by means of an implant, wherein the implant is of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, including membranes, such as sialastic membranes, or fibers.

The means and methods for administration are known in the art and an artisan can refer to various pharmacologic references for guidance (see, for example, Modern Pharmaceutics, Banker & Rhodes, Marcel Dekker, Inc. (1979); and Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmaceutical Basis of Therapeutics, 6th Edition, MacMillan Publishing Co., New York (1980)).
The amount of compound to be administered is that amount which is therapeutically effective. The dosage to be administered will depend on the characteristics of the subject being treated, e.g., the particular animal treated, age, weight, health, types of concurrent treatment, if any, and frequency of treatments, and can be easily determined by one skill in the art (e.g., by the clinician). The standard dosing for protamine can be used and adjusted (i.e., increased or decreased) depending upon the the factors described above. The selection of the specific dose regimen can be selected or adjusted or titrated by the clinician according to methods known to the clinician to obtain the desired clinical response.
The amount of a compound described herein that will be effective in the treatment and/or prevention of a particular disease, condition, or disorder will depend on the nature and extend of the disease, condition, or disorder, and can be determined by standard clinical techniques. In addition, in vitro or in vivo assays may optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed in the compositions will also depend on the route of administration, and the seriousness of the disorder, and should be decided according to the judgment of the practitioner and each patient's circumstances. However, a suitable dosage range for oral administration is, generally, from about 0.001 milligram to about 200 milligrams per kilogram body weight, from about 0.01 milligram to about 100 milligrams per kilogram body weight, from about 0.01 milligram to about 70 milligrams per kilograms body weight, from about 0.1 milligram to about 50 milligrams per kilogram body weight, from 0.5 milligram to about 20 milligrams per kilogram body weight, or from about 1 milligram to about 10 milligrams per kilogram body weight. In some embodiments, the oral dose is about 5 milligrams per kilogram body weight.
In some embodiments, suitable dosage ranges for intravenous (i.v.) administration are from about 0.01 mg to about 500 mg per kg body weight, from about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg per kg body weight, from about 1 mg to about 50 mg per kg body weight, or from about 10 mg to about 35 mg per kg body weight. Suitable dosage ranges for other modes of administration can be calculated based on the forgoing dosages as known by those skilled in the art. For example, recommended dosages for intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, epidural, sublingual, intracerebral, intravaginal, transdermal administration or administration by inhalation are in the range of from about 0.001 mg to about 200 mg per kg of body weight, from about 0.01 mg to about 100 mg per kg of body weight, from about 0.1 mg to about 50 mg per kg of body weight, or from about 1 mg to about 20 mg per kg of body weight. Effective doses may be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems. Such animal models and systems are well known in the art.
The compounds described herein can be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, such as by bolus injection or continuous infusion. The compounds can be administered by continuous infusion subcutaneously over a period of about 15 minutes to about 24 hours.

Frequency of administration is typically such that the dosing interval, for example, the period of time between one dose and the next, during waking hours is from about 2 to about 12 hours, from about 3 to about 8 hours, or from about 4 to about 6 hours. It will be understood by those of skill in the art that an appropriate dosing interval is dependent to some degree on the length of time for which the selected composition is capable of maintaining a concentration of the compound(s) in the lacrimal fluid and/or in the target tissue (e.g., the conjunctiva) above the MIC₉₀(the minimum concentration of the oligomer or polymer which inhibits microbial growth by 90%). Ideally the concentration remains above the MIC₉₀for at least 100% of the dosing interval. Where this is not achievable it is desired that the concentration should remain above the MIC₉₀for at least about 60% of the dosing interval, or should remain above the MIC₉₀for at least about 40% of the dosing interval.
The activity of anti-microbials is generally expressed as the minimum concentration of a compound (active agent) required to inhibit the growth of a specified pathogen. This concentration is also referred to as the “minimum inhibitory concentration” or “MIC”. The term “MIC₉₀” refers to the minimum concentration of an antimicrobial active agent required to inhibit the growth of ninety percent (90%) of the tested isolates for one particular organism. The concentration of a compound required to totally kill a specified bacterial species is referred to as the “minimum bactericidal concentration” or “MBC.”
In some embodiments, an effective concentration of the compound in the composition will generally be from about 0.01% to about 20% by weight (wt %) of the composition, from about 0.05% to about 10% by weight, from about 0.1% to about 8.0% by weight, from about 0.5% to about 5.0% by weight, from about 1.0% to about 5.0% by weight, or from about 2.0% to about 4.0% of the composition.
In some embodiments, the animal being treated, such as a human, is “in need thereof.” That is, the animal is in need of treatment. Thus, in some embodiments, the animal is treated for the purpose of preventing or treating the Candida or Aspergillus infection. In some embodiments, the animal has been diagnosed with a Candida or Aspergillus infection or is suspected of having a Candida or Aspergillus infection. In some embodiments, the animal, or human, is in a population at risk of having a Candida or Aspergillus infection, such as in a prison or hospital.
In order that the present disclosure may be more efficiently understood, examples are provided below. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the disclosure in any manner. Throughout these examples, molecular cloning reactions, and other standard recombinant DNA techniques, were carried out according to methods described in Maniatis et al., Molecular Cloning—A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Press (1989), using commercially available reagents, except where otherwise noted.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

Screen for Anti-Candida Activity

Over 800 compounds were screened at a single concentration of 10 μM against a clinical isolate of C. albicans GDH2346 (see, triangles in FIG. 1 below), and an additional 400 compounds were screened with 11 concentrations to give an IC₅₀(see, green squares in FIG. 1 below). The activity was determined at 24 and 48 hours by OD₆₀₀and fluorescence.
106 compounds showed greater than 90% inhibition, giving a hit rate of 12%. These compounds are all cidal. 109 compounds showed an IC₅₀<5 μg/mL and an additional 90 had an IC₅₀<10 μg/mL.

Example 2

Activity Against Hyphae

C. albicans (GDH2346) was grown in 10% FCS for 3 days to achieve hyphae. Hyphae were treated with Compound 100 (8 μg/mL) for 0 minutes (see, FIG. 2A), 15 minutes (see, FIG. 2B), 30 minutes (see, FIG. 2C), or 60 minutes (see, FIG. 2D). Cultures were stained with FungaLight Live-Dead stain (InVitrogen) and observed under fluorescence microscopy (100× magnification).
Compound 100 rapidly caused death of hyphal cultures at low concentrations.

Example 3

Permeabilization

(A) C. albicans GDH2346 was treated with Compound 100 at the concentrations indicated (μg/mL) for 30 minutes, followed by staining with PI and quantification by flow cytometry. Ethanol treatment was used to establish 100% uptake.
(B) Cells were treated with Compound 100 at 32 μg/mL for the times indicated.
To determine whether the compounds act at the membrane, like many host defense proteins, or intracellularly like histatins, the ability of Compound 100 to cause membrane permeability was assessed. Dose-dependent membrane permeabilization of Candida, as shown by cellular accumulation of PI, was evident within 30 minutes at 8 to 32 μg/mL Compound 100 concentrations (see FIG. 3A). Influx was rapid, where >75% of cells were permeabilized after a 5-minute treatment with Compound 100 at 32 μg/mL (see FIG. 3B).

Example 4

Cellular Efflux-ATP Release

(A) C. albicans GDH2346 was treated with either Compound 100 or histatin 5 for 30 minutes, followed by the separation of the extracellular medium and the cells. Intracellular and extracellular ATP levels were quantified by luciferase assay and measurement in a luminometer, relative to a standard control. Treatment 1=no treatment; Treatment 2=16 μg/mL Compound 100; Treatment 3=32 μg/mL Compound 100; and Treatment 4=Histatin 5 (1 mg/mL).
(B) Time dependent release of ATP of cells treated with Compound 100 at 32 μg/mL.
(C) Dose response of cells treated for 30 minutes, followed by quantification of extracellular ATP.
To demonstrate efflux, effects of Compound 100 on ATP release were examined. Cells were treated with either Compound 100 or Histatin 5, and levels of intracellular and extracellular ATP were measured after 30 minutes. At 32 μg/mL Compound 100, almost all of the ATP from the cell was extracellular, which exceeded efflux with 1 mg/mL of histatin 5 (see, FIG. 4A).
At 32 μg/mL, ATP efflux was rapid with significant extracellular accumulation occurring by 20 minutes following treatment (see, FIG. 4B).
Efflux was also dose-dependent over 30 minutes of exposure time, with detectable ATP levels evident at 16 μg/mL (see, FIG. 4C).

Example 5

IC₅₀Profiles

Candida IC₅₀s were determined by OD₆₀₀and fluorescence from vegetative cells and by MTS viability assay in the hyphal state. MICs were determined using a broth microdilution assay under standard CLSI conditions Bacteria strains: E. coli 25922 (EC), S. aureus 27660 (SA), E. faecalis 29212 (EF), P. aeruginosa 10145 (PA), and K. pneumoniae 13883 (KP). Cytotoxicity (EC₅₀) was determined against mouse 3T3 fibroblasts, human transformed liver HepG2 cells, and human oral keratinocyte cell line, OKF6/TERT using an MTS viability assay. Candida IC₅₀s<10 μg/mL, MICs<5 μg/mL and cytotoxicity EC₅₀s>100 μM are indicated in green. MICs>5 μg/mL and cytotoxicity EC₅₀s<100 μM are indicated in red. Results are shown in Table 1 below.

Efficacy In a Mouse Model of Oral Candidiasis

8-week old male mBD-1 (−/−) mice on a C57B1/6 background were pre-treated for 5 days with 2.5 mg/mL oral tetracycline to reduce normal oral flora (n=5 per group; n=4 for nystatin group). Day 0: infection initiated by oral inoculation of a 50 μL suspension of C. albicans (clinical isolate GDH2346 at 5×10⁷cfu/mL) onto a cotton ball after lightly scoring the tongues. Day 3: Single topical administration of test agent (10 mg/mL) applied in 0.05 mL hydrogel. Tissue was harvested 24 hours post-treatment, homogenized, and quantitated by serial dilution and plating.
Compound 100 nearly sterilized the infected tongue following a single topical dose and was 50-fold more efficacious than Nystatin. Results are shown in FIG. 5A. (Treatment 1=Control; Treatment 2=Compound 100 at 10 mg/mL; and Treatment 3=Nyststin at 10 mg/mL). FIG. 5B is a photomicrograph of a 10 μm section of a tongue from an infected mouse on day 4, stained with PAS (Magnification=100×). Arrows show hyphae and hyphal insertion into tissue.

Example 8

Anti-Candida Activity; In Vitro Profiles

Candida MIC assays were determined in accordance with CLSI guidelines M27-A3using a clinically isolated C. albicans strain, GDH2346. 50% human serum was added to determine activity in the presence of serum.
For determination of anti-Candida IC₅₀s, the method was modified by using RPMI/MOPS buffer pH 6.3 and by addition of FDGlu, a substrate for the yeast enzyme exoglucanase which is secreted during cell growth. This provides a fluorescent readout for cell growth which was used in addition to the traditional optical density measure of growth. OD₆₀₀and fluorescence were determined at 24 and 48 hours and the average of all 4 reads was used for the final IC₅₀determination.
To form the biofilm, yeast were grown in RPMI/MOPS, 0.4% sucrose pH7.4 media supplemented with 10% FBS in tissue culture-treated flat bottom 96 well plates for 48 hours. The filamentous yeast cultures were then vigorously washed to remove any non-filamentous, non-attached yeast. The remaining attached filamentous biofilm yeast were incubated in saline containing serially diluted compounds for 24 hours. The cultures were aspirated to remove compound, rinsed and overlayed with RPMI/MOPS, 0.4% sucrose pH7.4 media, Biofilm viability was measured using a cell proliferation assay (CellTiter96 Aqueous Kit from Promega) and IC50s were determined using Prism GraphPad software (nonlinear fit, Table 3).
Time kills were performed in the same manner as IC₅₀s. At each time point yeast were removed, diluted as necessary and plated on YPD agar to determine viable CFUs.
Bacteria MICs were determined using a broth microdilution assay under standard CLSI conditions Bacteria strains: clinical isolates; yeast strains: C. dubliniensis (NCPF3949), C. glabrata (ATCC 90030), C. krusei (ATCC 6258), C. parapsilosis (ATCC 22019), and C. tropicalis (ATCC 750). Cytotoxicity (EC₅₀) was determined against mouse 3T3 fibroblasts, human transformed liver HepG2 cells, and human oral keratinocyte cell line, OKF6/TERT using an MTS viability assay.
Table 3 shows potent activity of several compounds against vegetative and 2-day hyphal biofilm cultures.

Anti-Fungal Activity; Efficacy in Mouse Candida Sepsis Model

Mice were made neotropenic with i.p. injections of cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg in 10 mL/kg) at 4 and 1 day before inoculation. Each animal was then inoculated by injecting 0.1 mL of inoculum of C. albicans in a tail vein. The standard was administered orally and the test compounds by IV 1 hour after infection.
The kidneys were collected from four mice in Group 1 at 1 hour after infection and from the remaining mice in the study at 24 hours after infection. Kidneys were combined in a sterile tube. An aliquot of sterile PBS were added to each tube and the contents homogenized with a tissue homogenizer. Serial dilutions of the tissue homogenates were conducted, 0.1 mL aliquots were spread on SDA plates and the plates incubated at 35° C. overnight. The CFU/kidneys were determined from colony counts. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni Multiple Comparisons Test was performed using GraphPad Instat version 3.00 for Windows 95, GraphPad Software, San Diego Calif. USA.
FIG. 7 shows Compound 135 has cidal activity with ≧1.5 log₁₀reductions in tissue burden from treatment onset. In contrast, FIG. 8 shows that current triazole and anti-fungals have a static effect in the model.

Disseminated Candidiasis Model; Survival Sturdy

Mice were made neutropenic with i.p. injections of cyclophosphamide (150 mg/kg in 10 mL/kg) at 4 and 1 day before inoculation. Each animal was then inoculated by injecting 0.1 mL of inoculum of C. albicans in a tail vein. At 2 hours post-infection, the standard was administered orally and the test compound by IV. Compounds were dosed once daily for 4 days.
The kidneys were collected from four mice in Group 1 at 2 hours after infection, from four mice in Groups 2-5 at five days after infection, and from all surviving mice in the infected treatment groups. An aliquot of sterile PBS were added to each tube and the contents homogenized with a tissue homogenizer. Serial dilutions of the tissue homogenates were conducted, 0.1 mL aliquots were spread on SDA plates and the plates incubated at 35° C. overnight. The CFU/kidneys were determined from colony counts.
Survival data was analyzed using the log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test and one-way ANOVA with Tukey's Multiple Comparisons Test was performed on the yeast density and change in body weight data (GraphPad InStat version 5.04).
FIG. 9 shows survival of mice over a 14-day period. p<0.01 between Fluconazole and Compound 135 (10 mg/kg) and p<0.01 between Fluconazole and Compound 135 (15 mg/kg).

Example 12

Anti-Aspergillus Activity

The in vitro efficacy of a library of compounds was assessed for antifungal activity against A. niger (AN1), A. fumigatus (A1163) and A. flavus (NRRL3357) and compared to that of Itraconazole. For a subset of compounds selected based upon efficacy in the screening study a full MIC profile was conducted.
Efficacy of test articles was determined in RPMI 1640 broth with MOPS buffered to pH7.2 in accordance with CLSI guidelines M38-A for Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Filamentous Fungi. The method was modified by using flat well plates to allow microscopic identification of growth. The final screening concentration of each test article was 10 μM. Assay plates were incubated aerobically at 37° C. for 24-48 hours. Following incubation, plates were assessed visually (by eye and microscopically) for inhibition of growth. Inhibition was recorded at 50%, 80% and 100% inhibition compared to the positive control. A hit was described as a well demonstrating 100% inhibition.
MICs were determined in RPMI 1640 broth plus MOPS buffered to pH7.2 in accordance with CLSI guidelines M38-A for Antifungal Susceptibility Testing of Filamentous Fungi. The method was modified by using flat well plates to allow microscopic identification of growth. The final MIC range was 64-0.125 μg/mL.
Table 6 shows several compounds have broad anti-fungal activity with low mammalian cell cytotoxicity.
