1. Activation of a carboxylic acid (e.g. to an acid chloride, mixed anhydride, active ester, O-acyl-isourea or other species), and treatment with an amine (Ogliaruso, M.A.; Wolfe, J.F. in The Chemistry of Functional Groups (Ed. Patai, S.) Suppl. B: The Chemistry of Acid Derivatives, Pt. 1 (John Wiley and Sons, 1979), pp 442-8; Beckwith, A.L.J. in The Chemistry of Functional Groups (Ed. Patai, S.) Suppl. B: The Chemistry of Amides (Ed. Zabricky, J.) (John Wiley and Sons, 1970), p 73 ff. The acid and amine are preferably reacted in the presence of an activating agent such as l-(dimethylaminopropyl)-3- ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) or 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) or O-(7- azabenzotriazol-l-yl)-N,NN',N'-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU); or 2. The specific methods of: a. in situ conversion of an acid into the amine component by a modified Curtius reaction procedure (Shioiri, T., Murata, M., Hamada, Y., Chem. Pharm. Bull. 1987, 35, 2698) b. in situ conversion of the acid component into the acid chloride under neutral conditions (Villeneuve, G. B.; Chan, T. H., Tetrahedron. Lett. 1997, 38, 6489). A' may be, for example, protected hydroxymethylene.
The process variant (ii) is a standard addition reaction using methods well known to those skilled in the art. The process is preferably carried out in a polar organic solvent e.g. acetonitrile in the presence of an organic base e.g. triethylamine.
In process variant (iii) the coupling may be effected in a suitable solvent such as acetonitrile or dimethylformamide at room temperature in the presence of one equivalent of lithium perchlorate as catalyst (general method of J.E. Chateauneuf et al, J. Org. Chem., 56, 5939-5942, 1991) or more preferably with ytterbium triflate in dichloromethane. In some cases an elevated temperature such as 40 - 70 °C may be beneficial. Alternatively, the piperidine may be treated with a base, such as one equivalent of butyl lithium, and the resulting salt reacted with the oxirane in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, preferably at an elevated temperature such as 80°C. Use of a chiral epoxide will afford single diastereomers. Alternatively, mixtures of diastereomers may be separated by preparative HPLC or by conventional resolution through crystallisation of salts formed from chiral acids.
The process variant (iv) is a standard urea formation reaction from the reaction of an isocyanate with an amine and is conducted by methods well known to those skilled in the art (for example see March, J; Advanced Organic Chemistry, Edition 3 (John Wiley and Sons, 1985), p802-3). The process is preferably carried out in a polar solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide.
In process variant (v) the process is two step: firstly a condensation using a base, preferably sodium hydride or alkoxide, sodamide, alkyl lithium or lithium dialkylamide, preferably in an aprotic solvent e.g. ether, THF or benzene; secondly, hydrolysis using an inorganic acid, preferably HC1 in aqueous organic solvent at 0-100°C. Analogous routes are described in DE330945, EP31753, EP53964 and H. Sargent, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 68, 2688-2692 (1946). Similar Claisen methodology is described in Soszko et. al., Pr.Kom.Mat. Przyr.Poznan.Tow.Przyj.Nauk., (1962), 10, 15. In process variant (vi) the reaction is carried out in the presence of a base, preferably organometallic or metal hydride e.g. NaH, lithium diisopropylamide or NaOEt, preferably in an aprotic solvent, preferably THF, ether or benzene at -78 to 25°C (analogous process in Gutswiller et al. (1978) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 100, 576).
In process variants (vii) and (viii) if a base is used it is preferably NaH, KH, an alkyl lithium e.g. BuLi, a metal alkoxide e.g. NaOEt, sodamide or lithium dialkylamide e.g.di- isopropylamide. An analogous method is described in US 3989691 and M.Gates et. al. (1970) J. Amer.Chem.Soc, 92, 205, as well as Taylor et al. (1972) JACS 94, 6218. In process variant (x) where Y is CHO the reaction is a standard reductive alkylation using, e.g., sodium borohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride (Gribble, G. W. in Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (Ed. Paquette, L. A.) (John Wiley and Sons, 1995), p 4649). The process variant (xi) is a standard alkylation reaction well known to those skilled in the art, for example where an alcohol or amine is treated with an alkyl halide in the presence of a base (for example see March, J; Advanced Organic Chemistry, Edition 3 (John Wiley and Sons, 1985), p364-366 and p342-343). The process is preferably carried out in a polar solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide In process variant (xii) the reaction is an alkylation, examples of which are described in J. Med. chem. (1979) 22(10) 1171-6. The compound of formula (IV) maybe prepared from the corresponding compound where X is NHR1 ^ by acylation with an appropriate derivative of the acid WCH2COOH such as the acid chloride or sulphonation with an appropriate derivative of the sulphonic acid WCH2SO3H such as the sulphonyl chloride. h process variant (xiii) the reaction is a standard sulphonamide formation reaction well known to those skilled in the art. This may be e.g. the reaction of a sulphonyl halide with an amine.
In process variant (xiv) where X is W such as halogen, methanesulphonyloxy or trifluoromethanesulphonyloxy, the hydroxy group in Y is preferably converted to an OM group where M is an alkali metal by treatment of an alcohol with a base. The base is preferably inorganic such as NaH, lithium diisopropylamide or sodium. Where X is OH, the hydroxy group in Y is activated under Mitsunobu conditions (Fletcher et.al. J Chem Soc. (1995), 623). Alternatively the X=O and Y=CH2OH groups can be reacted directly by activation with 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) (Chem. Berichte 1962, 95, 2997 or Angewante Chemie 1963 75, 377).
In process variant (xv) the reaction is conducted in the presence of an organic base such as triethylamine or pyridine such as described by Fuhrman et.al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc; 67, 1245, 1945. The X=NRn'SO2W or Y-SO2W intermediates can be formed from the requisite amine e.g. by reaction with SO2Cl2 analogously to the procedure described by the same authors Fuhrman et.al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc; 67, 1245, 1945.
In process variant (xvi) the leaving group W is preferably chloro,bromo or iodo or trifluoromethylsulphonyloxy and the reaction is the palladium catalysed process known as the "Buchwald" reaction (J. Yin and S. L. Buchwald, Org.Lett, 2000, 2, 1101).
In process variant (xvii) the reaction is the addition of an amine to an olefin which is susceptible to nucleophilic attack. In process variant (xviii) the reaction is a three component condensation reaction carried out under mildly acidic conditions.
Reduction of a carbonyl group A or B to CHOH can be readily accomplished using reducing agents well known to those skilled in the art, e.g. sodium borohydride in aqueous ethanol or lithium aluminium hydride in ethereal solution. This is analogous to methods described in EP53964, US384556 and J. Gutzwiller et al, J. Amer. Chem. Soc, 1978, 100, 576.
The carbonyl group A or B may be reduced to CH2 by treatment with a reducing agent such as hydrazine in ethylene glycol, at e.g. 130-160°C, in the presence of potassium hydroxide.
Reaction of a carbonyl group A or B with an organometallic reagent yields a group where R6 or R8 is OH and R7 or R9 is alkyl.
A hydroxy group on A or B may be oxidised to a carbonyl group by oxidants well known to those skilled in the art, for example, manganese dioxide, pyridinium chlorochromate or pyridinium dichromate.
A hydroxyalkyl A-B group CHR7CR9OH or CR7(OH)CHR9 may be dehydrated to give the group CR7=CR9 by treatment with an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride.
Methods for conversion of CR7=CR9 by reduction to CHR CHR9 are well known to those skilled in the art, for example using hydrogenation over palladium on carbon as catalyst. Methods for conversion of CR7=CR9 to give the A-B group
CR7(OH)CHR9 or CHR7CR9OH are well known to those skilled in the art for example by epoxidation and subsequent reduction by metal hydrides, hydration, hydroboration or oxymercuration.
An amide carbonyl group may be reduced to the corresponding amine using a reducing agent such as lithium aluminium hydride.
A hydroxy group in A or B may be converted to azido by activation and displacement e.g. under Mitsunobu conditions using hydrazoic acid or by treatment with diphenylphosphorylazide and base, and the azido group in turn may be reduced to amino by hydrogenation. An example of a group Q1 convertible to NR2 R is N 2'R4' or halogen. Halogen may be displaced by an amine HNR2'R4' by a conventional alkylation.
When Q1 Q2 together form a protected oxo group this may be an acetal such as ethylenedioxy which can subsequently be removed by acid treatment to give a compound of formula (VI):
Figure imgf000021_0001
wherein the variables are as described for formula (I)
The ketone of formula (VI) is reacted with an amine HNR2'R ' by conventional reductive alkylation as described above for process variant (x). Examples of groups Z1', 7? and Z3' convertible to Z1, Z2 and Z3 include CR1 or
CRi'CR1^ where R1' and Rla' are groups convertible to R1 and Rl a. Z1', Z2' and Z3' are preferably Z1, Z and Z3.
Rla', R1' and R2' are preferably Rla R1 and R . R2' is preferably hydrogen. R3' is R3 or more preferably hydrogen, vinyl, alkoxycarbonyl or carboxy. R4' is R4 or more preferably H or an N-protecting group such as t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl or 9- fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl.
Conversions of R ', Rla', R2', R3 and R4' and interconversions of R1, Rla, R2, R3 and R are conventional, h compounds which contain an optionally protected hydroxy group, suitable conventional hydroxy protecting groups which may be removed without disrupting the remainder of the molecule include acyl and alkylsilyl groups. N- protecting groups are removed by conventional methods.
For example R1' methoxy is convertible to R1' hydroxy by treatment with lithium and diphenylphosphine (general method described in Ireland et al, J. Amer. Chem. Soc, 1973, 7829) or HBr. Alkylation of the hydroxy group with a suitable alkyl derivative bearing a leaving group such as halide and a protected amino, piperidyl, amidino or guanidino group or group convertible thereto, yields, after conversion/deprotection, R1 alkoxy substituted by optionally N-substituted amino, piperidyl, guanidino or amidino.
R3 alkenyl is convertible to hydroxyalkyl by hydroboration using a suitable reagent such as 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, epoxidation and reduction or oxymercuration.
R3 1,2-dihydroxyalkyl can be prepared from R3 alkenyl using osmium tetroxide or other reagents well known to those skilled in the art (see Advanced Organic Chemistry, Ed. March, J., John Wiley and Sons, 1985, p 732-737 and refs. cited therein) or epoxidation followed by hydrolysis (see Advanced Organic Chemistry, Ed. March, J. John Wiley and Sons, 1985, p 332,333 and refs. cited therein).
R3 vinyl can be chain extended by standard homologation, e.g. by conversion to hydroxyethyl followed by oxidation to the aldehyde, which is then subjected to a Wittig reaction. Opening an epoxide-containing R3' group with cyanide anion yields a CH(OH)- CH2CN group.
Opening an epoxide-containing R3' group with azide anion yields an azide derivative which can be reduced to the amine. Conversion of the amine to a carbamate is followed by ring closure with base to give the 2-oxo-oxazolidinyl containing R3 group. Substituted 2-oxo-oxazolidinyl containing R3 groups may be prepared from the corresponding aldehyde by conventional reaction with a glycine anion equivalent, followed by cyclisation of the resulting amino alcohol (M. Grauert et al, Ann. Chem., 1985, 1817; Rozenberg et al, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl, 1994, 330}, 91). The resulting 2-oxo-oxazolidinyl group contains a carboxy group which can be converted to other R1^ groups by standard procedures.
Carboxy groups within R3 may be prepared by Jones' oxidation of the corresponding alcohols CH2OH using chromic acid and sulphuric acid in water/methanol (E.R.H. Jones et al, J. Chem. Soc, 1946, 39). Other oxidising agents maybe used for this transformation such as sodium periodate catalysed by ruthenium trichloride (G.F.
Tutwiler et al, J. Med. Chem., 1987, 30(6), 1094), chromium trioxide-pyridine (G. Just et al, Synth. Commun., 1979, 9(1), 613), potassium permanganate (D.E. Reedich et al, J. Org. Chem. ,19S5, 50(19), 3535), and pyridinium chlorochromate (D. Askin et al, Tetrahedron Lett., 1988, 29(3), 277). The carboxy group may alternatively be formed in a two stage process, with an initial oxidation of the alcohol to the corresponding aldehyde using for instance dimethyl sulphoxide activated with oxalyl chloride (N.Cohen et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 1983, 105, 3661) or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (R.M.Wengler, Angew. Chim. Int. Ed. Eng., 1985, 24(2), 77), or oxidation with tetrapropylammonium perruthenate (Ley et al, J. Chem.Soc Chem Commun., 1987, 1625). The aldehyde may then be separately oxidised to the corresponding acid using oxidising agents such as silver (H) oxide (R.Grigg et al, J. Chem. Soc. Perkinl,1983, 1929), potassium permanganate (A.Zurcher, Helv. Chim. Acta., 1987, 70 (7), 1937), sodium periodate catalysed by ruthenium trichloride (T.Sakata et al, Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 1988, 61(6), 2025), pyridinium chlorochromate (R.S.Reddy et al, Synth. Commun., 1988, 18(51), 545) or chromium trioxide (R.M.Coates et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 1982, 104, 2198).
An R3 CO2H group may also be prepared from oxidative cleavage of the corresponding diol, CH(OH)CH2OH, using sodium periodate catalysed by ruthenium trichloride with an acetonitrile-carbontetrachloride-water solvent system (V.S.Martin et al, Tetrahedron Letters, 1988, 29(22), 2701).
Other routes to the synthesis of carboxy groups within R3 are well known to those skilled in the art. R3 groups containing a cyano or carboxy group may also be prepared by conversion of an alcohol to a suitable leaving group such as the corresponding tosylate by reaction with para-toluenesulphonyl chloride (M.R. Bell, J. Med. Chem.,1910, 13, 389), or the iodide using triphenylphosphine, iodine, and imidazole (G. Lange, Synth. Commun., 1990, 20, 1473). The second stage is the displacement of the leaving group with cyanide anion (L.A. Paquette et al, J. Org. Chem.,1919, 44(251. 4603; P.A. Grieco et al, J. Org. Chem., 1988, 53(16), 3658. Finally acidic hydrolysis of the nitrile group gives the desired acids (H.Rosemeyer et al, Heterocycles, 1985, 23 (10), 2669). The hydrolysis may also be carried out with base e.g. potassium hydroxide (H.Rapoport, J. Org. Chem.,1958, 23, 248) or enzymatically (T. Beard et al, Tetrahedron Asymmetry, 1993, 4 (6), 1085).
R3 cis or trans hydroxy may be introduced by the methods of van Deale et al., Drug Development Research 8:225-232 (1986) or Heterocycles 39(1), 163-170 (1994). For trans hydroxy, a suitable method converts N-protected tetrahydropyridine to the epoxide by treatment with metachloroperbenzoic acid, followed by opening of the epoxide with a suitable amine NR2'R4'. R3' hydroxy may then be converted to optionally substituted amino via preparation of the R3 amino derivative by standard transformations such as a Mitsunobu reaction (for eaxmple as reviewed in Misunobu, Synthesisi, (1981), 1), for example with succinimide in the presence of diethylazodicarboxylate and triphenylphosphine to give the phthalimidoethylpiperidine. Removal of the phthaloyl group, for example bytreatment with methylhydrazine, affords the R3' amine. Optional substitution may then be introduced by standard methods for amine substitution well known to those skilled in the art.
R3 4-CF3 may be introduced by the following scheme I: Scheme I

(a) (Boc)2O, CH2C12; (b) LDA, then CF3-X; (c) NaOH, H2O, EtOH; (d) DPPA, Et3N, toluene, then BnOH; (e) H2, Pd/C, EtOH. Commercially-available ethyl isonipecotate (1-1) reacts with an appropriate acylating agent, preferably di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, to afford the protected derivative 1-2. Typical solvents for this reaction include CH2CI2, THF, or DMF. The protecting group for the amine must be compatible with subsequent chemistry, and must be readily removable when desired. Methods for the protection of amines are well-known to those of skill in the art, and are described in standard reference volumes, such as Greene "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" (published by Wiley-Interscience). Alkylation of 1-2 can be accomplished by reaction with an appropriate base, typically LDA or LiN(TMS)2, in an aprotic solvent, usually THF or DME, followed by trapping of the enolate with an appropriate electrophile, to afford 1-3. Trifiuoromethyl iodide (CF3I) or S-(trifluoromethyl)dibenzothiophenium trifluoromethanesulfonate are typically preferred as electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagents. The ethyl ester of 1-3 is hydrolyzed using aqueous base, for example, LiOH in aqueous THF or NaOH in aqueous methanol or ethanol, and the intermediate carboxylate salt is acidified with a suitable acid, for instance TFA or HCl, to afford the carboxylic acid 1-4. Curtius-type rearrangement of 1-4 gives an intermediate isocyanate, which typically is not isolated, but rather is reacted in situ with an appropriate alcohol, such as benzyl alcohol, to give 1-5. Diphenylphosphoryl azide in the presence of an amine base, generally triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine (Hunig's base), is the preferred reagent combination for effecting the Curtius-type rearrangement of 1-4, but more classical conditions, such as formation of the acid chloride, reaction with azide anion, and warming of the acyl azide, can also be used. The benzyloxycarbonyl group in 1-5 is removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a palladium catalyst, typically palladium on activated charcoal, in a suitable solvent, usually EtOH, MeOH, EtOAc, or mixtures thereof, to give amine 1-6.
R3 2-CF3 may be introduced by the following scheme II:

Imine II-l, prepared in standard fashion by acid-catalyzed reaction of trifluoroacetaldehyde ethyl hemiacetal and (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylamine, reacts with a silyloxydiene, for example l-methoxy-3-(trimethylsilyloxy)-l,3-butadiene, in a Diels- Alder reaction to afford piperidone II-2. The reaction is conducted in a neutral solvent such as CH3CN, THF, or CH2CI2, and oftentimes is mediated by a Lewis acid such as ZnCl2- Diastereomers are best separated at this point. The enone II-2 is reduced to the corresponding ketone II-3 by reaction with L-Selectride® in a suitable solvent, generally THF or DME, and the ketone is converted to an oxime derivative under standard conditions well-known to those of skill in the art. Reduction of the oxime derivative under standard conditions (L1AIH4) gives a mixture of diastereomeric amines from which the amine II-5 can be isolated. The amine is protected with an appropriate protecting group, preferably a tert-butyl carbamate (see Scheme I), to afford II-6. The α- methylbenzyl group of II-6 is removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a palladium catalyst, typically palladium on activated charcoal, in a suitable solvent, usually EtOH, MeOH, EtOAc, or mixtures thereof, to give amine II-7. R3 3-CF3 may be introduced by the following scheme 111:

The commercially-available ketone III-l is converted to the corresponding silyl enol ether III-2 by reaction with a silylating reagent, such a trimethylsilyl chloride or trimethylsilyl triflate, in the presence of an amine base, typically triethylamine, in a suitable solvent, such as diethyl ether, THF, DMF, or mixtures thereof. The silyl enol ether III-2 reacts with an electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagent, such as trifiuoromethyl iodide (CF31) or more preferably S-(trifluoromethyl)dibenzothiophenium trifluoromethanesulfonate (see Tet. Lett. 1990, 31, 3579-3582)), in an appropriate solvent, such as THF, DMF, or mixtures thereof, to afford the α-trifluoromethyl ketone III-3. Ketone III-3 reacts with a chiral amine, for instance (R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylamine, under standard acidic catalysis, to afford the imine derivative III-4, which can be reduced to afford amine III-5. This type of reduction is typically conducted using sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium (triacetoxy)borohydride, in an appropriate solvent, such as EtOH, MeOH, THF, CH2CI2, CICH2CH2CI, or mixtures thereof. Diastereomers are best separated at this point. The α-methylbenzyl group of III- 5 is removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a palladium catalyst, typically palladium on activated charcoal, in a suitable solvent, usually EtOH, MeOH, EtOAc, or mixtures thereof, to give amine III-6.
R3 2-oxo may be introduced by the following scheme IV:

(R,S)-4-(Dibenzylamino)piperidin-2-one (IV-2, Homo-Freidinger Lactam, prepared from (R,S)-aspartic acid according to the procedure of Weber and Gmeiner, Synlett, 1998, 885-887) reacts with an appropriate epoxide, for instance 6-methoxy-4-(R)- oxiranylquinoline (VI-1) or 6-methoxy-4-(R)-oxiranyl-[l,5]naphthvridine, to afford the adduct IV-3. The reaction is mediated by a strong base, preferably sodium hydride, which is used to deprotonate IV-2, and is typically conducted in a polar, aprotic solvent, such as THF, DMF, or mixtures thereof. The benzyl groups in IV-3 are removed by hydrogenolysis in the presence of a palladium catalyst, typically palladium on activated charcoal, in a suitable solvent, usually EtOH, MeOH, EtOAc, or mixtures thereof, to give amine IV-4.
R3 3-F may be introduced by the following scheme V:

The trimethylsilyl enol ether (V-2), prepared from commercially-available N-(tert- butoxycarbonyl)piperidone (V-l) as described in Scheme HI, reacts with an electrophilic fluorinating reagent, preferably S electfluor™ ( 1 -chloromethyl-4-fluoro- 1 ,4- diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate), in a neutral solvent such as CH3CN, to afford the α-fluoro ketone V-3. Reductive amination of V-3 with benzylamine according to the procedures described in Schemes I and m gives the expected 4-aminobenzyl-3- fluoro-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperidine derivatives V-4 and V-5 as a mixture of cis- and trα/w-isomers in an 8: 1 ratio. These diastereomers are separable by chromatography on silica gel. The predominate cώ-mixture of enantiomers is debenzylated by catalytic hydrogenation as described in Scheme π, to give the amino derivative V-6.
Other functional groups in R3 may be obtained by conventional conversions of hydroxy, carboxy or cyano groups. Tetrazoles are conveniently prepared by reaction of sodium azide with the cyano group (e.g. F. Thomas et al, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1996, 6(6), 631; K. Kubo et al, J. Med. Chem., 1993, 36, 2182) or by reaction of azidotri-n-butyl stannane with the cyano group followed by acidic hydrolysis (P.L. Ornstein, J. Org. Chem., 1994, 59, 7682 and J. Med. Chem, 1996, 39 (11 , 2219). The 3-hydroxy-3-cyclobutene-l,2-dion-4-yl group (e.g. R.M. Soil, Bioorg. Med.
Chem. Lett, 1993, 3£4), 757 and W.A. Kinney, J. Med. Chem., 1992, 35(25), 4720) can be prepared by the following sequence:- (1) a compound where R3 is (CH2)nCHO (n = 0,1,2) is treated with triethylamine, carbon tetrabromide/triphenylphosphine to give initially (CH2)nCH=CHBr; (2) dehydrobromination of this intermediate to give the corresponding bromoethyne derivative (CH2)nC≡CBr (for this 2 stage sequence see D.
Grandjean et al, Tetrahedron Lett, 1994, 35(21), 3529); (3) palladium-catalysed coupling of the bromoethyne with 4-(l-methylethoxy)-3-(tri-n-butylstannyl)cyclobut-3-ene-l,2- dione (Liebeskind et al, J. Org. Chem., 1990, 55, 5359); (4) reduction of the ethyne moiety to -CH2CH2- under standard conditions of hydrogen and palladium on charcoal catalysis(see Howard et al, Tetrahedron, 1980, 36, 171); and finally (4) acidic hydrolysis of the methyl ethoxyester to generate the corresponding 3-hydroxy-3-cyclobutene-l,2- dione group (R.M. Soil, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1993, 3{4), 757).
The tetrazol-5-ylaminocarbonyl group maybe prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acid and 2-aminotetrazole by dehydration with standard peptide coupling agents such as l,l'-carbonyldiimidazole (P.L. Omstein et al, J. Med Chem, 1996, 39(11), 2232).
The alkyl- and alkenyl-sulphonylcarboxamides are similarly prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acid and the alkyl- or alkenyl-sulphonamide by dehydration with standard peptide coupling agents such as l,l'-carbonyldiimidazole (P.L. Ornstein et al, J. Med. Chem., 1996, 39(11), 2232). The hydroxamic acid groups are prepared from the corresponding acids by standard amide coupling reactions e.g. N.R. Patel et al, Tetrahedron, 1987, 43(22), 5375.
2,4-Thiazolidinedione groups may prepared from the aldehydes by condensation with 2,4-thiazolidinedione and subsequent removal of the olefmic double bond by hydrogenation. The preparation of 5-oxo-l,2,4-oxadiazoles from nitriles is decribed by Y. Kohara et al, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1995, 5(17), 1903. l,2,4-Triazol-5-yl groups may be prepared from the corresponding nitrile by reaction with an alcohol under acid conditions followed by reaction with hydrazine and then an R^-substituted activated carboxylic acid (see J.B. Polya in "Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry" Edition 1, p762, Ed A.R. Katritzky and C.W. Rees, Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1984 and J.J. Ares et al, J. Heterocyclic Chem., 1991, 28(5), 1197).
Other substituents on R3 alkyl or alkenyl may be interconverted by conventional methods, for example hydroxy may be derivatised by esterification, acylation or etherification. Hydroxy groups may be converted to halogen, thiol, alkylthio, azido, alkylcarbonyl, amino, aminocarbonyl, oxo, alkylsulphonyl, alkenylsulphonyl or aminosulphonyl by conversion to a leaving group and substitution by the required group or oxidation as appropriate or reaction with an activated acid, isocyanate or alkoxyisocyanate. Primary and secondary hydroxy groups can be oxidised to an aldehyde or ketone respectively and alkylated with a suitable agent such as an organometallic reagent to give a secondary or tertiary alcohol as appropriate. A carboxylate group may be converted to an hydroxymethyl group by reduction of an ester of this acid with a suitable reducing agent such as lithium aluminium hydride. An ϊ-2 substituent on piperidine is converted to NR R4 by conventional means such as amide or sulphonamide formation with an acyl derivative R^COW or R^SO2W, for compounds where U is CO or SO2 or, where U is CH2, by alkylation with an alkyl halide R^C^-halide in the presence of base, acylation/reduction with an acyl derivative R^COW or reductive alkylation with an aldehyde R^CHO.
Where one of R3 and R° R7, R8 or R9 contains a carboxy group and the other contains a hydroxy or amino group they may together form a cyclic ester or amide linkage. This linkage may form spontaneously during coupling of the compound of formula (IV) and the piperidine moiety or in the presence of standard peptide coupling agents.
It will be appreciated that under certain circumstances interconvertions may interfere, for example, A or B hydroxy groups in A or B and the piperidine substituent NH2 will require protection e.g. as a carboxy- or silyl-ester group for hydroxy and as an acyl derivative for piperidine NH2, during conversion of R1', R ', R3' or R4', or during the coupling of the compounds of formulae (IV) and (V).
Compounds of formulae (IV) and (V) are known compounds, (see for example Smith et al, J. Amer. Chem. Soc, 1946, 68, 1301) or prepared analogously.
Compounds of formula (IV) where X is CR^R7SO2W may be prepared by a route analogous to that of Ahmed El Hadri et al, J. Heterocyclic Chem., 1993, 30(3), 631. Thus compounds of formula (IV) where X is CH2SO2OH may be prepared by reacting the corresponding 4-methyl compound with N-bromosuccinimide, followed by treatment with sodium sulfite. The leaving group W may be converted to another leaving group W, e.g. a halogen group, by conventional methods.
The isocyanate of formula (TV) may be prepared conventionally from a 4-amino derivative such as 4-amino-quinoline, and phosgene, or phosgene equivalent (eg triphosgene) or it may be prepared more conveniently from a 4-carboxylic acid by a "one- pot" Curtius Reaction with diphenyl phosphoryl azide (DPP A) [see T. Shiori et al. Chem. Pharm. Bull. 35, 2698-2704 (1987)].
The 4-amino derivatives are commercially available or may be prepared by conventional procedures from a corresponding 4-chloro or 4-trifluoromethanesulplιonate derivative by treatment with ammonia (O.G. Backeberg et. al., J. Chem Soc, 381, 1942) or propylamine hydrochloride (R. Radinov et. al., Synthesis, 886, 1986).
4- Alkenyl compounds of formula (JV) may be prepared by conventional procedures from a corresponding 4-halogeno-derivative by e.g. a Heck synthesis as described in e.g. Organic Reactions, 1982, 27, 345.
4-Halogeno derivatives of compounds of formula (TV) are commercially available, or may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art. A 4-chloroquinoline is prepared from the corresponding quinolin-4-one by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride (POCl ) or phosphorus pentachloride, PC15. A 4-chloroquinazoline is prepared from the corresponding quinazolin-4-one by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) or phosphorus pentachloride, PC15. A quinazolinone and quinazolines may be prepared by standard routes as described by T. A. Williamson in Heterocyclic Compounds, 6, 324 (1957) Ed. R.C. Elderfield.
4-Carboxy derivatives of compounds of formula (IV) are commercially available or may be prepared by conventional procedures for preparation of carboxy heteroaromatics well known to those skilled in the art. For example, quinazolines may be prepared by standard routes as described by T.A. Williamson in Heterocyclic
Compounds, 6, 324 (1957) Ed. R.C. Elderfield. These 4-carboxy derivatives maybe activated by conventional means, e.g. by conversion to an acyl halide or anhydride.
Pyridazines may be prepared by routes analogous to those described in Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, Volume 3, Ed A.J. Boulton and A. McKillop and napthyridines may be prepared by routes analogous to those described in
Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, Volume 2, Ed A.J. Boulton and A. McKillop. A 4-oxirane derivative of compounds of formula (JV) is conveniently prepared from the 4-carboxylic acid by first conversion to the acid chloride with oxalyl chloride and then reaction with trimethylsilyldiazomethane to give the diazoketone derivative. Subsequent reaction with 5M hydrochloric acid gives the chloromethylketone. Reduction with sodium borohydride in aqueous methanol gives the chlorohydrin which undergoes ring closure to afford the epoxide on treatment with base, e.g. potassium hydroxide in ethanol-tetrahydrofuran.
Alternatively and preferably, 4-oxirane derivatives can be prepared from bromomethyl ketones which can be obtained from 4-hydroxy compounds by other routes well known to those skilled in he art. For example, hydroxy compounds can be converted to the corresponding 4-trifluoromethanesulphonates by reaction with trifluoromethanesulphonic anhydride under standard conditions (see K. Ritter, Synthesis, 1993, 735). Conversion into the corresponding butyloxyvinyl ethers can be achieved by a Heck reaction with butyl vinyl ether under palladium catalysis according to the procedure of W. Cabri et al, J. Org. Chem, 1992, 57 (5), 1481. (Alternatively, the equivalent intermediates can be attained by Stille coupling of the trifluoromethanesulphonates or the analaogous chloro derivatives with (l-ethoxyvinyl)tributyl tin, (T. R. Kelly, J. Org. Chem., 1996, 61, 4623).) The alkyloxyvinyl ethers are then converted into the corresponding bromomethylketones by treatment with N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous tetrahydrofuran in a similar manner to the procedures of J. F. W. Keana, J. Org. Chem., 1983, 48, 3621 and T. R. Kelly, J. Org. Chem., 1996, 61, 4623. The 4-hydroxyderivatives can be prepared from an aminoaromatic by reaction with methylpropiolate and subsequent cyclisation, analogous to the method described in N. E. Heindel et al, J. Het. Chem., 1969, 6, 77. For example, 5 -amino-2-methoxy pyridine can be converted to 4-hydroxy-6-methoxy-[l,5]naphthyridine using this method. If a chiral reducing agent such as (+) or (-)-B-chlorodiisopinocamphenylborane
['DlP-chloride'] is substituted for sodium borohydride, the prochiral chloromethylketone is converted into the chiral chlorohydrin with ee values generally 85-95% [see C. Bolm et al, Chem. Ber. 125, 1169-1190, (1992)]. Recrystallisation of the chiral epoxide gives material in the mother liquor with enhanced optical purity (typically ee 95%). The (R -epoxide, when reacted with a piperidine derivative gives ethanolamine compounds as single diastereomers with (R)-stereochemistry at the benzylic position.
Alternatively, the epoxide may be prepared from the 4-carboxaldehyde by a Wittig approach using trimethylsulfonium iodide [see G.A. Epling and K-Y Lin, J. Het. Chem., 1987, 24, 853-857], or by epoxidation of a 4-vinyl derivative. 4-Hydroxy-l,5-naphthyridines can be prepared from 3-aminopyridine derivatives by reaction with diethyl ethoxymethylene malonate to produce the 4-hydroxy-3- carboxylic acid ester derivative with subsequent hydrolysis to the acid, followed by thermal decarboxylation in quinoline (as for example described for 4-Hydroxy- [l,5]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid, J. T. Adams et al., J.Amer.Chem.Soc, 1946, 68, 1317). A 4-hydroxy-[l,5]naphtlιyridine can be converted to the 4-chloro derivative by heating in phosphorus oxychloride, or to the 4-methanesulphonyloxy or 4- trifluoromethanesulphonyloxy derivative by reaction with methanesulphonyl chloride or trifluoromethanesulphonic anhydride, respectively, in the presence of an organic base. A 4-amino 1,5-naphthyridine can be obtained from the 4-chloro derivative by reaction with n-propylamine in pyridine.
Similarly, 6-methoxy- 1,5-naphthyridine derivatives can be prepared from 3-amino-6- methoxypyridine.
1,5-Naphthyridines may be prepared by other methods well known to those skilled in the art (for examples see P.A. Lowe in "Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry" Volume 2, p581 -627, Ed A.R. Katritzky and C.W. Rees, Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1984). The 4-hydroxy and 4-amino-cinnolines may be prepared following methods well known to those skilled in the art [see A.R. Osborn and K. Schofield, J. Chem. Soc. 2100 (1955)]. For example, a 2-aminoacetophenone is diazotised with sodium nitrite and acid to produce the 4-hydroxycinnoline with conversion to chloro and amino derivatives as described for 1,5-naphthyridines. R ~ groups where the ring (y) is 4-pyridyl are available by the sequence described below, starting from an aromatic or heterocyclic amine (1), with at least one free CH position adjacent to the amine. Reaction with Meldrum's acid and trimethyl orthformate in ethanol at reflux affords the corresponding 2,2-dimethyl-5-phenylaminomethylene- [l,3]dioxane-4,6-dione derivatives (2). These can be cyclised at elavated temperatures (180-220°C) in inert solvents such as Dowtherm to give the corresponding lH-quinolin- 4-one (3) or heterocyclic analogues eg lH-[l,6]naphthyridin-4-one. These processes are well-established and are described by Walz and Sundberg (J. Org. Chem., 2000, 65 (23), 8001) and by Todter and Lackner (Synthesis, 1997 (5) 576).
Figure imgf000033_0001
Activation of the quinolone species related to (3) into the corresponding 4- quinolyl bromides (4) can be accomplished with phosphorous oxybromide or more preferably phosphorous tribromide in N,N-dimethylformamide (see M. Schmittel et al, Synlett, 1997, (9), 1096 and K. Gould et al, J. Med., Chem., 1988, 31 (7), 1445). The corresponding chlorides (5) are available by using phosphoryl oxychloride (for instance C. W. Wright et al, J. Med., Chem., 2001, 44 (19), 3187).
Figure imgf000033_0002
Alternatively, the quinolone species maybe activated to the corresponding 1,1,1- trifluoro-methanesulfonic acid quinolin-4-yl esters (6) by the action of agents such as triflic anhydride or more preferably N-trifluoromethanesulphonimide (see for example M. Alvarez et al, Tet 2000, 56 (23) 3703; M. Alvarez et al, Eur. J. Org., Chem., 2000, (5), 849; J. Joule et al, Tet, 1998, 54 (17), 4405; J. K. Stille et al, J.A.C.S., 1988, 110 (12), 4051).
Activated species such as (4), (5), and (6) can then be subjected to a variety of metal-catalysed coupling reactions, such as amidation with primary carboxamides to give compounds such as (7) following the procedures of S. L. Buchwald et al (J.A.C.S., 2001, 123, 4051 and 7727; Org. Lett., 1999, 1, 35) or Sonogashira coupling with acetylenes to give compounds such as (8) (see A. Droz et al, Helv. Chim. Acta., 2001, 84 (8), 2243; M. Belly et al, Synlett, 2001 (2), 222; M. Pirrung et al, J.A.C.S., 2001, 123 (16), 3638).

RA thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-7-yl, 2,3-dihydro-[l,4]dioxino[2,3-b]ρyridin-8-yl, quinolin-8-yl and isoquinolin-5-yl derivatives are commercially available or prepared by conventional methods from commercially available or literature derivatives, for example 4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-[l,4]dioxino[2,3-b]pyridine (prepared by the method of H. Neunhoffer et al, Chem., Ber., 1990, 123), 2-methoxy-quinolin-8-ylamine (prepared by the method of K. Mislow et al J.A.C.S. 68, 1353 (1946)), 2,8-quinolinediol or trifluoromethane sulphonic acid-isoquinolin-5-yl ester (prepared as in D. Ortwine et al, J. Med. Chem., 1992, 35 (8), 1345). RA quinoxalin-5-yl derivatives may be obtained from 2- or 3-methylquinoxalin-5- ol prepared as described by Y. Abe et al, J. Med. Chem., 1998, 41 (21), 4062 or from suitable substituted derivatives prepared by analogous methods. RA 3- methoxyquinoxaline-5-yl derivatives may be obtained from 3-oxoquinoxalin-5-yl prepared by the general methods of F.J.Wolf et al., J.A.C.S. 1949, 71, 6, using a suitable methylating agent such as trimethylsilyl(diazomethane). The corresponding 1,2,3,4- tetrahydro-quinoxalin-5-yl maybe prepared by reduction with a suitable reducing agent such as sodium cyanoborohydride in the presence of an acid such as acetic acid.
The isoquinolin-8-yl system can be prepared from the appropriately substituted benzylamine by cyclocondensation with diethoxy-acetaldehyde (see, for example, K. Kido and Y. Watanabe, Chemical & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 35(12), 4964-6; 1987). Alternatively 8-bromo-isoquinoline (prepared by the method of F.T.Tyson, J.A.C.S., 1939, 61, N. Briet et al, Tetrahedron (2002), 58(29), 5761-5766 or W.D. Brown, et al., Synthesis (2002), (1), 83-86. 183 can be subjected to N-oxidation and rearrangement to give 8-bromo-2H-isoquinolin-l-one. This can be N-methylated to give 8-bromo-2-methyl-2H-isoquinolin-l-one, an appropriate intermediate for the 2-methyl-l- oxo- 1 ,2-dihydroisoquinolin-8-yl system.
The l-methoxy-isoquinolin-8-yl system can also be obtained from the 8- bromoisoquinoline-N-oxide above by rearrangement with methyl chloroformate to give 8-bromo-l-methoxy-isoquinoline, an appropriate intermediate for the 1-methoxy- isoquinolin-8-yl system.
For compounds of formula (V), suitable amines may be prepared from the corresponding 4-substituted piperidine acid or alcohol. In a first instance, an N-protected piperidine containing an acid bearing substituent, can undergo a Curtius rearrangement and the intermediate isocyanate can be converted to a carbamate by reaction with an alcohol. Conversion to the amine may be achieved by standard methods well known to those skilled in the art used for amine protecting group removal. For example, an acid substituted N-protected piperidine can undergo a Curtius rearrangement e.g. on treatment with diphenylphosphoryl azide and heating, and the intermediate isocyanate reacts in the presence of 2-trimethylsilylethanol to give the trimethylsilylethylcarbamate (T.L. Capson & CD. Poulter, Tetrahedron Lett, 1984, 25, 3515). This undergoes cleavage on treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride to give the 4-amine substituted N-protected piperidine.
In a second instance, an N-protected piperidine containing an alcohol bearing substituent undergoes a Mitsunobu reaction (for example as reviewed in Mitsunobu, Synthesis, (1981), 1), for example with succinimide in the presence of diethyl azodicarboxylate and triphenylphosphine to give the phthalimidoethylpiperidine. Removal of the phthaloyl group, for example by treatment with methylhydrazine, gives the amine of formula (V).
R5CH2-halides, acyl derivative R5COW and R5SO2W or aldehydes R5CHO are commercially available or are prepared conventionally. The aldehydes may be prepared by partial reduction of the R^-ester with lithium aluminium hydride or di- isobutylaluminium hydride or more preferably by reduction to the alcohol, with lithium aluminium hydride or sodium borohydride or lithium triethylborohydride (see Reductions by theAlumino- and Borohydr ides in Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed., Wiley, N.Y., 1997; JOC, 3197, 1984; Org. Synth. Coll., 102, 1990; 136, 1998; JOC, 4260, 1990; TL, 995, 1988; JOC, 1721, 1999; Liebigs Ann./Recl., 2385, 1997; JOC, 5486, 1987), followed by oxidation to the aldehyde with manganese (U) dioxide, or by a 'Swern' procedure (oxalyl chloride/DMSO), or by using potassium dichromate (PDC). The aldehydes may also be prepared from carboxylic acids in two stages by conversion to a mixed carbonate for example by reaction with isobutyl chloro formate followed by reduction with sodium borohydride (R. J. Alabaster et al., Synthesis, 598, 1989) to give the hydroxymethyl substituted heteroaromatic or aromatic and then oxidation with a standard oxidising agent such as pyridinium dichromate or manganese (II) dioxide. Acyl derivative R^COW may be prepared by activation of the R^ -ester. R5CH2-halides such as bromides may be prepared from the alcohol R^C^OH by reaction with phosphorus tribromide in DCM/triethylamine. Alternatively the aldehyde R^CHO and sulphonic acid derivative R^SO2W may be generated by treatment of the R^H heterocycle with suitable reagents. For example benzoxazinones, or more preferably their N-methylated derivatives can be formylated with hexamine in either trifluoroacetic acid or methanesulfonic acid, in a modified Duff procedure [O. I. Petrov et al. Collect. Czech. Chem. Commun. 62, 494-497 (1997)]. 4- Methyl-4H-benzo[l,4]oxazin-3-one may also be formylated using dichloromethyl methyl ether and aluminium chloride giving exclusively the 6-formyl derivative. Reaction of a R^H heterocycle with chlorosulphonic acid gives the sulphonic acid derivative (by methods analogous to Techer et. al., C.RHebd. Seances Acad. Sci. Ser.C; 270, 1601, 1970).
The aldehyde R^CHO may be generated by conversion of an R^halogen or
Figure imgf000036_0001
sulphonyloxy derivative into an olefin with subsequent oxidative cleavage by standard methods. For example, reaction of a bromo derivative under palladium catalysis with trans-2-phenylboronic acid under palladium catalysis affords a styrene derivative which upon ozonolysis affords the required R^CHO (Stephenson, G. R., Adv. Asymmetric Synth. (1996), 275-298. Publisher: Chapman & Hall, London).
R^H heterocycles are commercially available or may be prepared by conventional methods. For example where a benzoxazmone is required, a nitrophenol may be alkylated with for example ethyl bromoacetate and the resulting nitro ester reduced with Fe in acetic acid (alternatively Zn/AcOH/HCl or H2/Pd C or H2/Raney Ni). The resulting amine may undergo spontaneous cyclisation to the required benzoxazinone, or cyclisation may be induced by heating in acetic acid. Alternatively a nitrophenol may be reduced to the aminophenol, which is reacted with chloroacetyl chloride [method of X. Huang and C. Chan, Synthesis 851 (1994)] or ethyl bromoacetate in DMSO [method of Z. Moussavi et al. Eur. J. Med. Chim. Ther. 24, 55-60 (1989)]. The same general routes can be applied to prepare benzothiazinones [See for example F. Eiden and F. Meinel, Arch. Pharm. 312, 302-312 (1979), H. Fenner and R Grauert Liebigs. Ann. Chem. 193-313 (1978)]]. A variety of routes are available to prepare aza analogues of benzothiazinones via the key corresponding aldehydes. For instance, 2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-lH-pyrido[3,4-b][l,4]thiazine- 7-carbaldehyde may be accessed from 5-fluoro-2-picoline (E. J. Blanz, F. A. French, J. R. DoAmaral and D. A. French, J. Med. Chem. 1970, 13, 1124-1130) by constructing the thiazinone ring onto the pyridyl ring then functionalising the methyl substituent. The dioxin analogue of this aza substitution patern, 2,3-dihydro-[l,4]dioxino[2,3-c]pyridine- 7-carbaldehyde is accessible from Kojic acid by aminolysis from pyrone to pyridone then annelating the dioxin ring. Other aza substitution patterns with pyrido thiazin-3 -one, pyridooxazin-3-one, and pyridodioxin ring systems are also accessible. Ortho- aminothiophenols may be conveniently prepared and reacted as their zinc complexes [see for example V. Taneja et al Chem. Ind. 187 (1984)]. Benzoxazolones may be prepared from the corresponding aminophenol by reaction with carbonyl diimidazole, phosgene ot triphosgene. Reaction of benzoxazolones with diphosporus pentasulfide affords the corresponding 2-thione. Thiazines and oxazines can be prepared by reduction of the corresponding thiazinone or oxazinone with a reducing agent such as lithium aluminium hydride.
The amines R2'R 'NH are available commercially or prepared conventionally. For example amines
Figure imgf000037_0001
may be prepared from a bromomethyl derivative by reaction with sodium azide in dimethylformamide (DMF), followed by hydrogenation of the azidomethyl derivative over palladium-carbon. An alternative method is to use potassium phthalimide/DMF to give the phthalimidomethyl derivative, followed by reaction with hydrazine in DCM to liberate the primary amine. Conversions of Rl a', R1', R ', R3' and R4' may be carried out on the intermediates of formulae (IV), and (V) prior to their reaction to produce compounds of formula (I) in the same way as described above for conversions after their reaction.
Further details for the preparation of compounds of formula (I) axe found in the examples. The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared singly or as compound libraries comprising at least 2, for example 5 to 1,000 compounds, and more preferably 10 to 100 compounds of formula (I). Libraries of compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by a combinatorial "split and mix" approach or by multiple parallel synthesis using either solution phase or solid phase chemistry, by procedures known to those skilled in the art. Thus according to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a compound library comprising at least 2 compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof.
Novel intermediates of formulae (IV) and (V) are also part of this invention. The antibacterial compounds according to the invention may be formulated for administration in any convenient way for use in human or veterinary medicine, by analogy with other antibacterials.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include those in a form adapted for oral, topical or parenteral use and maybe used for the treatment of bacterial infection in mammals including humans. The composition may be formulated for administration by any route. The compositions maybe in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, granules, lozenges, creams or liquid preparations, such as oral or sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions.
The topical formulations of the present invention may be presented as, for instance, ointments, creams or lotions, eye ointments and eye or ear drops, impregnated dressings and aerosols, and may contain appropriate conventional additives such as preservatives, solvents to assist drug penetration and emollients in ointments and creams. The formulations may also contain compatible conventional carriers, such as cream or ointment bases and ethanol or oleyl alcohol for lotions. Such carriers may be present as from about 1% up to about 98% of the formulation. More usually they will form up to about 80% of the formulation. Tablets and capsules for oral administration may be in unit dose presentation form, and may contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, for example syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragacanth, or polyvinylpyrrolidone; fillers, for example lactose, sugar, maize-starch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol or glycine; tabletting lubricants, for example magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol or silica; disintegrants, for example potato starch; or acceptable wetting agents such as sodium lauryl sulphate. The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in normal pharmaceutical practice. Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of, for example, aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or may be presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives, such as suspending agents, for example sorbitol, methyl cellulose, glucose syrup, gelatin, hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, aluminium stearate gel or hydrogenated edible fats, emulsifying agents, for example lecithin, sorbitan monooleate, or acacia; non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils), for example almond oil, oily esters such as glycerine, propylene glycol, or ethyl alcohol; preservatives, for example methyl or propyl >-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid, and, if desired, conventional flavouring or colouring agents.
Suppositories will contain conventional suppository bases, e.g. cocoa-butter or other glyceride.
For parenteral administration, fluid unit dosage forms are prepared utilizing the compound and a sterile vehicle, water being preferred. The compound, depending on the vehicle and concentration used, can be either suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. In preparing solutions the compound can be dissolved in water for injection and filter sterilised before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing.
Advantageously, agents such as a local anaesthetic, preservative and buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle. To enhance the stability, the composition can be frozen after filling into the vial and the water removed under vacuum. The dry lyophilized powder is then sealed in the vial and an accompanying vial of water for injection may be supplied to reconstitute the liquid prior to use. Parenteral suspensions are prepared in substantially the same manner except that the compound is suspended in the vehicle instead of being dissolved and sterilization cannot be accomplished by filtration. The compound can be sterilised by exposure to ethylene oxide before suspending in the sterile vehicle. Advantageously, a surfactant or wetting agent is included in the composition to facilitate uniform distribution of the compound.
The compositions may contain from 0.1% by weight, preferably from 10-60% by weight, of the active material, depending on the method of administration. Where the compositions comprise dosage units, each unit will preferably contain from 50-500 mg of the active ingredient. The dosage as employed for adult human treatment will preferably range from 100 to 3000 mg per day, for instance 1500 mg per day depending on the route and frequency of administration. Such a dosage corresponds to 1.5 to 50 mgkg per day.
Suitably the dosage is from 5 to 20 mg/kg per day. No toxicological effects are indicated when a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof is administered in the above-mentioned dosage range.
The compound of formula (I) may be the sole therapeutic agent in the compositions of the invention or a combination with other antibacterials. If the other antibacterial is a β-lactam then a β-lactamase inhibitor may also be employed.
Compounds of formula (I) are active against a wide range of organisms including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms.
