Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel oxazolidinone compounds useful for the treatment of bacterial infections, particularly mycobacterial infections.
  • the invention also relates to methods of use of oxazolidinone compounds for the treatment of mycobacterial infections such as those caused by Mycobacteria tuberculosis.
  • Mycobacterium is a genus of bacterium, neither truly gram-positive nor truly gram-negative, including pathogens responsible for tuberculosis ( M. tuberculosis ) and leprosy ( M. leprae ).
  • Tuberculosis (TB) in particular, despite the availability of anti-TB drugs such as isoniazide and rifampin, is considered to be one of the world's deadliest diseases. According to World Health Organization, in 2012, there were 8.6 million new TB cases and 1.3 million TB deaths. See, Global tuberculosis report 2013 published by the World Health Organization. Complicating the TB epidemic is the rising tide of multi-drug-resistant strains, and the deadly association with HIV.
  • Mycobacteria other than M. tuberculosis are increasingly found in opportunistic infections that plague the AIDS patient.
  • Enormous numbers of MAC are found (up to 1010 acid-fast bacilli per gram of tissue), and consequently, the prognosis for the infected AIDS patient is poor.
  • Oxazolidinones are a class of compounds containing 2-oxazolidone, a 5-membered ring containing nitrogen and oxygen, which are used as antimicrobials. See, e.g. WO 2009157423.
  • oxazolidinones are known to be monoamine oxidase inhibitors and to have activity against gram-positive microrganisms.
  • WO 2006022794 Suzuki et al., Med. Chem. Lett. 4:1074-1078 (2013), Yang et al., J. Med. Chem. 58:6389-6409 (2015), Shaw et al., Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci.
  • oxazolidinone antibiotics have been approved or are in clinical trials for the treatment of gram-positive bacterial infections such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus .
  • examples of oxazolidinone antibiotics include linezolid (ZyvoxTM, Pfizer Inc., New York, N.Y.) and tedizolid (SivextroTM, Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., Kenilworth, N.J.). Tedizolid is used to treat acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections caused by specific susceptible gram-positive bacteria.
  • Linezolid is indicated for the treatment of several infections caused by susceptible strains of gram-positive microorganisms including nosocomial pneumonia, complicated skin and skin structure infections, and community-acquired pneumonia.
  • MDR multi-drug resistant
  • XDR extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
  • the present invention is directed to certain novel oxazolidinone compounds which have antibacterial activity.

  • R 3 is H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, and C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl, wherein said C 1 -C 6 alkyl, said C 2 -C 6 alkenyl and said C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl can be optionally substituted with up to four substituents, which are independently selected from halogen, —OCH 3 , —OH, NH 2 , NHCH 3 , and N(CH 3 ) 2 ;

  • R 6 is H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, or a 5-membered heterocycle, wherein said 5-membered heterocycle is optionally substituted with up to two R 7 ;
  • R 7 is H, halogen, oxo, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 2 -C 6 alkenyl, or C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl, wherein said C 1 -C 6 alkyl and said C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl can be optionally substituted with from one to four substituents which are independently selected from halogen, OCH 3 , OH, NH 2 , NHCH 3 , and N(CH 3 ) 2 ;
  • E is a 6-membered aryl or a 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl containing from one to three heteratoms independently selected from S, O, and N, wherein said aryl and said heteroaryl are optionally substituted with up to four substituents, which are independently selected from halogen, —CN, —CF 3 , —CHF 2 , —CH 2 NH 2 , —CH 2 NHCOCH 3 , —OCF 3 , —OCHF 2 , —OH, —O—(C 1 -C 6 )alkyl, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, and C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl;

  • the present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating a bacterial infection in a subject, particularly an M. tuberculosis infection, comprising an oxazolidinone compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient.
  • the Compounds of Formula (I) can be useful, for example, for inhibiting the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , and/or for treating or preventing tuberculosis in a patient.
  • Oxazolidinone Compounds of the invention for the treatment of tuberculosis are likely to cause less myelosuppression than known oxazolidinone compounds such as linezolid because they are not associated with a high degree of inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis (see Example 65).
  • Oxazolidinone Compounds of the invention are more selective than known oxazolidinone compounds, with weaker Gram-positive antibacterial activity and high potency against M. tuberculosis.
  • the present invention is also directed to 1) methods of treating tuberculosis in a subject in need of treatment thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an oxazolidinone compound; and 2) uses of an oxazolidinone compound for the treatment of tuberculosis.
  • Oxazolidinones were originally developed for use in treating gram-positive bacterial infections, particularly, methicillin-resistant S. aureus infections. As shown in the Examples, in vitro testing of the oxazolidinone compounds of Formula I revealed such compounds had excellent potency in inhibiting the growth of Mycobacteria tuberculosis, but did not have strong Gram positive antibacterial activity. Additionally, Oxazolidinone Compounds of the invention are not associated with a high degree of mitochondrial protein synthesis inhibition.
  • compounds of Formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are expected to be useful for the treatment of mycobacterial tuberculosis (Mtb), yet not lead to the side effects such as myelosuppression that are associated with with the oxazolidinone linezolid, which is approved for treatment of Gram-positive infections. Therefore, such compounds would have significant advantages over linezolid and analogs as Mtb therapeutic agents.
  • the present invention includes compounds of Formula I:
  • A, E, and R 1 are defined above for the Compounds of Formula (I); wherein the compounds may be suitable for use for the treatment of bacterial infections, particularly mycobacterial infections.

  • a second embodiment is a compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein, A is a heteroaryl, wherein from 1 to 4 of the ring atoms is independently O, N, or S and the remaining ring atoms are carbon atoms, and all other variables are as defined in the Summary of the Invention.
