ANTIBACTERIAL AMIDE AND SULFONAMIDE SUBSTITUTED
HETEROCYCLIC UREA COMPOUNDS TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to novel heterocyclic urea compounds and in particular to novel amide and sulfonamide substituted heterocyclic urea compounds and to their uses in the treatment of bacterial infections.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Antibacterials kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria by interfering with major processes of cellular function that are essential for survival. The development of antibacterial agents has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with bacterial infections over the last century, particularly in developed countries. However, the emergence of drug-resistant bacterial strains threatens the resurgence of bacterial- borne diseases long thought to have been conquered.
[0003] Resistance to antibacterials can occur when the target of a drug mutates so that it can still function, but is no longer inhibited by the drug (e.g., mutations in the quinolone resistance determining regions of bacterial gyrases and topisomerase enzymes that confer resistance to the fluoroquinolones). In a recent congressional report, the General Accounting Office (GAO) has summarized the current and future public health burden resulting from drug-resistant bacteria (Antimicrobial Resistance (1999). General Accounting Office (GAO/RCED-99-132)). According to this report, the number of patients treated in a hospital setting for an infection with drug-resistant bacteria has doubled from 1994 to 1996 and again almost doubled from 1996 to 1997. The same GAO report also provides clear evidence that previously susceptible bacteria are increasingly becoming resistant and spreading around the world. As a consequence of the increase and prevalence of resistant bacteria there is a growing need to identify new antibacterial a -1 Oge^nts.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] It has now been found that amide and sulfonamide substituted heterocyclic urea compounds are useful in the treatment of bacterial infections. The present invention
relates to these antibacterial compounds and salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and methods of use thereof in the treatment of bacterial infections, including resistant bacterial infections. [0005] In one aspect the invention provides compounds of Formula (I):
Ri is selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl;
X is selected from the group consisting of a C and N atom;
Y is selected from the group consisting of CO and SO2;
R2, R3 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of, H, OH, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted arylalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted linear, cyclic or branched alkyl, cyano, and perfluoroalkyl; and further, optionally wherein R2, R4, Y, and N together can form a substituted or unsubstituted 4-7 member saturated ring; or alternatively, optionally wherein R2, R3 and N together can form a substituted or unsubstituted 4-7 member saturated ring; and

Heteroaryl groups can be substituted or unsubstituted. A fused heteroaryl ring system may include carbocyclic rings and need only include one heterocyclic ring.
[0026] When used herein, the term "heterocyclyl" means an aromatic or non- aromatic saturated monocyclic or multicyclic (preferably bicyclic) ring system comprising about 3 to about 10 ring atoms, preferably about 5 to about 10 ring atoms, in
which one or more of the atoms in the ring system is an element other than carbon, for example nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, alone or in combination. Suitably the heterocyclic ring comprises from 4 to 7, preferably 5 to 6, ring atoms. A fused heterocyclic ring system may include carbocyclic rings and need only include one heterocyclic ring. There are no adjacent oxygen and/or sulfur atoms present in the ring system. Preferred heterocyclyls contain about 5 to about 6 ring atoms. The prefix aza, oxa or thia before the heterocyclyl root name means that at least a nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom respectively is present as a ring atom. Any -NH in a heterocyclyl ring may exist protected such as, for example, as an -N(Boc), -N(CBz), -N(Tos) group and the like; such protected moieties are also considered part of this invention. The heterocyclyl can be optionally substituted by one or more "ring system substituents" which may be the same or different, and are as defined herein. The nitrogen or sulfur atom of the heterocyclyl can be optionally oxidized to the corresponding N-oxide, S-oxide or S,S-dioxide. Non-limiting examples of suitable monocyclic heterocyclyl rings include piperidyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, thiazolidinyl, 1,4-dioxanyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothiophenyl, pyrimidyl, oxazolidinyl, and the like.
[0027] When substituted, a heteroaryl or a heterocyclyl group may have up to three substituents. Preferred such substituents include those previously mentioned for an aryl group as well as oxo.
[0028] When used herein, the terms "halogen" and "halo" include fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine and fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo, respectively. [0029] When used herein, the term "acyl" means an H-C(O)-, alkyl-C(O)- or cycloalkyl-C(O)-, group in which the various groups are as previously described. The bond to the parent moiety is through the carbonyl. Preferred acyls contain a lower alkyl. Non-limiting examples of suitable acyl groups include formyl, acetyl and propanoyl. [0030] When used herein, the term "substituted" means that one or more hydrogens on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valency under the existing circumstances is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds. By "stable compound" or "stable structure" is meant a compound that is
sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent. The term "optionally substituted" means optional substitution with the specified groups, radicals or moieties. [0031] It should also be noted that any heteroatom with unsatisfied valences in the text, schemes, examples and Tables herein is assumed to have the hydrogen atom to satisfy the valences. When a functional group in a compound is termed "protected", this means that the group is in modified form to preclude undesired side reactions at the protected site when the compound is subjected to a reaction. Suitable protecting groups will be recognized by those with ordinary skill in the art as well as by reference to standard textbooks such as, for example, T. W. Greene et al, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (1991), Wiley, N. Y.
[0032] When any variable (e.g., aryl, heterocycle, R2, etc.) occurs more than one time in any constituent or in Formula (I), its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence.
[0033] When used herein, the term "composition" is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts.
[0034] The compounds according to the invention are suitably provided in substantially pure form, for example at least 50% pure, suitably at least 60% pure, advantageously at least 75% pure, preferably at least 85% pure, more preferably at least 95% pure, especially at least 98% pure, all percentages being calculated as weight/weight. An impure or less pure form of a compound according to the invention may, for example, be used in the preparation of a more pure form of the same compound or of a related compound (for example a corresponding derivative) suitable for pharmaceutical use.
[0035] It will be appreciated that certain compounds of the present invention may comprise one or more chiral centers so that compounds may exist as stereoisomers, including diastereoisomers and enantiomers. The present invention covers all such stereoisomers, and mixtures thereof, including racemates.

[0037] Prodrugs and solvates of the compounds of the invention are also contemplated herein. The term "prodrug", as employed herein, denotes a compound that is a drug precursor which, upon administration to a subject, undergoes chemical conversion by metabolic or chemical processes to yield a compound of Formula (I) (note that Formula (I) includes Formula (Ia) and Formula (Ib)) or a salt and/or solvate thereof. A discussion of prodrugs is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems (1987) 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, (1987) Edward B. Roche, ed., American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, both of which are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
[0038] When used herein, the term "solvate" means a physical association of a compound of this invention with one or more solvent molecules. This physical association involves varying degrees of ionic and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. In certain instances the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the crystalline
solid. "Solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Non-limiting examples of suitable solvates include ethanolates, methanolates, and the like. [0039] When used herein, the term "hydrate" is a solvate wherein the solvent molecule is H2O.
[0040] As used herein, the phrases "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" are meant to describe an amount of compound or a composition of the present invention effective in inhibiting bacterial replication and thus producing the desired therapeutic, ameliorative, inhibitory or preventative effect. [0041] The compounds of Formula (I) (as defined herein Formula (I) includes
Formula (Ia) and (Ib)) can form salts which are also within the scope of this invention. Reference to a compound of Formula (I) herein is understood to include reference to salts thereof, unless otherwise indicated. The term "salt(s)", as employed herein, denotes acidic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids, as well as basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic bases. In addition, when a compound of Formula (I) contains both a basic moiety, such as, but not limited to a pyridine or imidazole, and an acidic moiety, such as, but not limited to a carboxylic acid, zwitterions ("inner salts") may be formed and are included within the term "salt(s)" as used herein. Pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful. Salts of the compounds of the Formula (I) may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound of Formula (I) with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates, or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.
[0042] Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates, ascorbates, benzoates, benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates, camphorates, camphorsulfonates, fumarates, hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, lactates, maleates, methanesulfonates, naphthalenesulfonates, nitrates, oxalates, phosphates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates, tartarates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates (also known as tosylates,) and the like. Additionally, acids which are generally considered suitable for the formation of pharmaceutically useful salts from basic pharmaceutical compounds are discussed, for example, by S. Berge et al, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66(1) 1 19; P. Gould, International J. of Pharmaceutics
(1986) 33 201 217; Anderson et al, The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry (1996), Academic Press, New York; and in The Orange Book (Food & Drug Administration, Washington, D.C. on their website). These disclosures are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
[0043] Exemplary basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium, lithium, and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases (for example, organic amines) such as dicyclohexylamines, t-butyl amines, and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine and the like. Basic nitrogen-containing groups may be quarternized with agents such as lower alkyl halides (e.g. methyl, ethyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (e.g. dimethyl, diethyl, and dibutyl sulfates), long chain halides (e.g. decyl, lauryl, and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), arylalkyl halides (e.g. benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others.
[0044] All such acid and base salts are intended to be pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention and all acid and base salts are considered equivalent to the free forms of the corresponding compounds for purposes of the invention.
[0045] Compounds of Formula (I) and salts, solvates and prodrugs thereof, may exist in their tautomeric form (for example, as an amide or imino ether). All such tautomeric forms are contemplated herein as part of the present invention. All stereoisomers (for example, geometric isomers, optical isomers and the like) of the present compounds (including those of the salts, solvates and prodrugs of the compounds as well as the salts and solvates of the prodrugs), such as those which may exist due to asymmetric carbons on various substituents, including enantiomeric forms (which may exist even in the absence of asymmetric carbons), rotameric forms, atropisomers, and diastereomeric forms, are contemplated within the scope of this invention, as are positional isomers (such as, for example, 4-pyridyl and 3-pyridyl). Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention may, for example, be substantially free of other isomers, or may be admixed, for example, as racemates or with all other, or other selected, stereoisomers. The chiral centers of the present invention can have the S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations. The use of the terms
"salt", "solvate" "prodrug" and the like, is intended to equally apply to the salt, solvate and prodrug of enantiomers, stereoisomers, rotamers, tautomers, positional isomers, racemates or prodrugs of the inventive compounds.
[0046] Compounds of Formula (I) are inhibitors of PoIC, a type II DNA
Polymerase III, which is the major replicative polymerase responsible for chromosomal replication in low GC Gram-positive bacteria. Compounds of Formula (I) are generally selective for PoIC, showing little or no inhibition of the eukaryotic replicative polymerase, i.e., provides an optimal combination of high activity against various pathogenic bacteria and low or no activity against mammalian calls, allowing the use of compounds of the invention in the treatment of mammals, and in particular humans. [0047] Compounds of the present invention show antibacterial activity against clinically relevant Gram-positive pathogens, including S. pyogenes, S. aureus, S. pneumoniae and E. faecalis. Compounds of the present invention demonstrate preferential inhibition of DNA synthesis over RNA, protein, or cell wall synthesis in whole cell assays. Therapeutic compositions of the present invention have antibacterial activity against clinically important Gram-positive pathogens, including staphylococci and streptococci, and particularly including isolates resistant to currently marketed agents.
[0048] Another aspect of this invention is a method of protecting a patient from a bacterial infection. A patient may be an animal, preferably a mammal and even more preferably a human having or susceptible to a disease or condition associated with a bacterial infection. Protecting may be prophylactic, i.e., administering a compound of the present invention in the absence of a diagnosed bacterial infection, or therapeutic, i.e., administering a compound of the present invention upon diagnosis of a bacterial infection. Protection may be achieved by administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate of said compound to the patient. A preferred dosage is about 0.001 to 500 mg/kg of body weight/day of the compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate of said compound. An especially preferred dosage is about 0.01 to 25 mg/kg of body weight/day of a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate of said compound.
[0049] Methods to diagnose bacterial infection in patients are known in the art.
Preferred bacterial infections to treat include bacterial infections caused by any bacteria type or species against which the compounds of the present invention have an antibacterial effect. Particularly preferred bacteria types or species include Gram- positive and Gram-negative bacteria and most preferred bacterial types include Gram- positive bacteria.
[0050] In order to protect an animal from bacterial infection, a therapeutic or prophylactic composition of the present invention is administered to the animal in an effective manner such that bacterial infection is minimized and/or reduced. Preferably, the bacterial infection and/or bacterial burden of the infectious bacteria is reduced by at least about 50%, at least about 70%, and more preferably at least about 90%, 95% or 97%.
[0051] Suitable patients to treat include humans; birds such as chickens, ostriches, quail, and turkeys; other mammals such as companion animals (including dogs, cats, and rodents) and economic food and/or fur or other product animals, such as horses, cattle, llamas, chinchillas, ferrets, goats, sheep, rodents, minks, rabbits, raccoons, and swine. [0052] The compounds of this invention can also be useful in combination
(administered together or sequentially) with one or more of antibacterial treatments, such as, for example, treatment with other known antibacterial drug classes such as, for example, β-lactams, glycopeptides, oxazolidinones, macrolides, ketolides, quinolones, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, and lipopeptides. If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the dosage range described herein and the other pharmaceutically active agent or treatment within its dosage range. Compounds of Formula (I) may also be administered sequentially with known antibacterial agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate. The invention is not limited in the sequence of administration; compounds of Formula (I) may be administered either prior to or after administration of the known antibacterial agent. Such techniques are within the skills of persons skilled in the art as well as attending physicians.
[0053] Accordingly, in an aspect, this invention includes combinations comprising an amount of at least one compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt or solvate thereof, and an amount of one or more antibacterial agents or treatments listed above wherein the amounts of the compounds/ treatments result in desired therapeutic effect. The pharmacological properties of the compounds of this invention may be confirmed by a number of pharmacological assays. The exemplified pharmacological assays which are described herein have been carried out with compounds according to the invention and/or their salts.
[0054] In another aspect, the invention includes pharmaceutical compositions which comprise at least one compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate of said compound, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Accordingly, the present invention further includes compositions comprising one or more compounds of Formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. [0055] When used herein, the phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to media generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically active agents to patients, in particular, mammals. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are typically formulated according to a number of factors well within the purview of those of ordinary skill in the art. These include, without limitation: the type and nature of the active agent being formulated; the subject to which the agent-containing composition is to be administered; the intended route of administration of the composition; and, the therapeutic indication being targeted. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include both aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media, as well as a variety of solid and semi-solid dosage forms. Such carriers can include a number of different ingredients and additives in addition to the active agent, such additional ingredients being included in the formulation for a variety of reasons, e.g., stabilization of the active agent, binders, etc., well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and factors involved in their selection, are found in a variety of readily available sources such as, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1985, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0056] Preparation of pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include inclusion of inert, solid or liquid pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets and
suppositories. The powders and tablets may be comprised of from about 5 to about 95 percent active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are known in the art, e.g., magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, silica, sucrose, lactose, starch, or cellulose derivatives. Tablets, powders, cachets and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and methods of manufacture for various compositions may be found in A. Gennaro (ed.), Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition, (1990), Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. incorporated herein by reference.
[0057] Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. As an example, water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection or addition of sweeteners and opacifiers for oral solutions, suspensions and emulsions, can be used. Liquid form preparations may also include solutions for intranasal administration. Gelatin capsules can be used to contain the active ingredient and a suitable carrier such as, but not limited to, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, steric acid, or cellulose derivatives. Similar diluents can be used to make compressed tablets. Both tablets and capsules can be manufactured as sustained release products to provide for continuous release of medication over a period of time. Compressed tablets can be sugar-coated or film-coated to mask any unpleasant taste, or used to protect the active ingredients from the atmosphere, or to allow selective disintegration of the tablet in the gastrointestinal tract. Liquid dose forms for oral administration can also contain coloring or flavoring agents to increase patient acceptance.
[0058] Typically, water, pharmaceutically acceptable oils, saline, aqueous dextrose, and related sugar solutions and glycols, such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol, are suitable carriers for parenteral solutions. Solutions for parenteral administration can contain, for example, a water soluble salt of the active ingredient and suitable stabilizing agent(s). Antioxidizing agents, such as sodium bisulfite, sodium sulfite, or ascorbic acid, either alone or in combination, can act as suitable stabilizing agents. Also suitable as stabilizing agents are citric acid and its salts, and EDTA. In addition, parenteral solutions can contain preservatives such as, for example, benzalkonium chloride, methyl- or propyl-paraben, and chlorobutanol.
[0059] Oral compositions are preferred and will generally include an inert diluent or an edible carrier and may be compressed into tablets or enclosed in gelatin capsules. The oral dosage forms are administered to the patient weekly, twice weekly, three times weekly, four times weekly, five times weekly, six times weekly, or 1, 2, 3, or 4 times daily. It is preferred that the compounds of the invention be administered either three or fewer times daily, more preferably once or twice daily. For purposes of oral therapeutic administration, the active compound or compounds can be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, or troches. Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents and adjuvant materials can be included as part of the composition. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches, and the like can contain any of the following ingredients or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as, but not limited to, gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch, or gelatin; an excipient such as microcrystalline cellulose, starch, or lactose; a disintegrating agent such as, but not limited to, alginic acid and corn starch; a lubricant such as, but not limited to, magnesium stearate; a gildant, such as, but not limited to, colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; and a flavoring agent such as peppermint, or fruit flavoring. [0060] When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it can contain, in addition to material of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil. In addition, dosage unit forms can contain various other materials, which modify the physical form of the dosage unit, for example, coatings of sugar and other enteric agents. The compounds can also be administered as a component of an elixir, suspension, syrup, wafer, chewing gum or the like. A syrup may contain, in addition to the active compounds, sucrose as a sweetening agent and certain preservatives, dyes, colorings, and flavors. The active materials can also be mixed with other active materials that do not impair the desired action, or with materials that supplement the desired action.
[0061] Solutions or suspensions used for parenternal, intradermal, subcutaneous, or topical application can include any of the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oil, a naturally occurring vegetable oil such as sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, and the like, or a synthetic fatty vehicle such as ethyl oleate, and the like, polyethylene glycol, glycerine, propylene glycol, or other synthetic solvent; antimicrobial agents such as benzyl alcohol and methyl
parabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA); buffers such as acetates, citrates, and phosphates; and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride and dextrose. Parenternal preparations can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes, or multiple dose vials made of glass, plastic, or other suitable material. Buffers, preservatives, antioxidants, and the like can be incorporated as required. [0062] Where administered intravenously, suitable carriers include physiological saline, phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and solutions containing thickening and solubilizing agents such as glucose, polyethylene glycol, polypropyleneglycol, and mixtures thereof. Liposomal suspensions including tissue-targeted liposomes may also be suitable as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These may be prepared according to methods known, for example, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,811, which is incorporated by reference herein.
[0063] The active compounds may be prepared with carriers that protect the compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as time-release formulations or coatings such as enteric coatings to protect the compounds of the present invention from the acidic environment of the stomach. Enteric coated tablets are well known to those skilled in the art. In addition, capsules filled with small spheres, each coated to protect from the acidic stomach, are also well known to those skilled in the art. Other such carriers include controlled release formulations, such as, but not limited to, implants and microencapsulated delivery systems, and biodegradable, biocompatible polymers such as collagen, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, polyorthoesters, polylactic acid, and the like. Methods for preparation of such formulations are known to those skilled in the art.
[0064] The compounds of the invention can be administered orally, parenterally
(IV, IM, depo-IM, SQ, and depo-SQ), sublingually, intranasally (inhalation), intrathecally, topically, or rectally. Dosage forms known to those skilled in the art are suitable for delivery of the compounds of the invention. [0065] When administered orally, compounds of the invention can be administered in usual dosage forms for oral administration as is well known to those skilled in the art and are described more fully herein. These dosage forms include the
usual solid unit dosage forms of tablets and capsules as well as liquid dosage forms such as solutions, suspensions, and elixirs. When the solid dosage forms are used, it is preferred that they be of the sustained release type so that the compounds of the invention need to be administered only once or twice daily.
[0066] The compounds of the invention can be administered parenterally, for example, by IV, IM, depo-IM, SC, or depo-SC. When administered parenterally, a therapeutically effective amount for humans of about 0.5 to about 100 mg/day, preferably from about 5 to about 50 mg daily should be delivered. When a depot formulation is used for injection once a month or once every two weeks, the dose for humans should be about 0.5 mg/day to about 50 mg/day, or a monthly dose of from about 15 mg to about 1,500 mg. Dosing for other types of patients can be estimated from the appropriate human dose.
[0067] The compounds of the invention can be administered sublingually. When given sublingually, the compounds of the invention should be given one to four times daily in the amounts described above for IM administration.
[0068] The compounds of the invention can also be administered intranasally.
When given by this route, the appropriate dosage forms are a nasal spray or dry powder, as is known to those skilled in the art. The dosage of the compounds of the invention for intranasal administration is the amount described above for IM administration. [0069] The compounds of the invention can be administered intrathecally. When given by this route the appropriate dosage form can be a parenteral dosage form as is known to those skilled in the art. The dosage of the compounds of the invention for intrathecal administration is the amount described above for IM administration. [0070] The compounds of the invention can be administered topically. When given by this route, the appropriate dosage form is a cream, ointment, or patch. When administered topically, the dosage is from about 0.5 mg/day to about 200 mg/day. The compounds of the invention can be administered rectally by suppository as is known to those skilled in the art. When administered by suppository, the therapeutically effective amount is from about 0.5 mg to about 500 mg for humans. The compounds of the invention can be administered by implants as is known to those skilled in the art. When
administering a compound of the invention by implant, the therapeutically effective amount is the amount described above for depot administration. [0071] The invention herein is the novel compounds of the invention and new methods of using the compounds of the invention. Given a particular compound of the invention and a desired dosage form, one skilled in the art would know how to prepare and administer the appropriate dosage form.
[0072] Where the compounds of the invention exhibit insufficient solubility, methods for solubilizing may be used. Such methods are known and include, but are not limited to, using cosolvents such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), using surfactants such as polysorbates including Tween.RTM and dissolution in aqueous sodium bicarbonate. Derivatives of the compounds, such as salts or prodrugs may also be used in formulating effective pharmaceutical compositions.
[0073] The concentration of the compound is effective for delivery of an amount upon administration that lessens or ameliorates at least one symptom of the disorder for which the compound is administered. Typically, the compositions are formulated for single dosage administration. A suitable single dose is a dose that is capable of reducing bacterial infection and/or bacterial burden with the infectious bacteria when administered one or more times over a suitable time period. For example, a preferred single dose of a compound of Formula (I) ranges from about 1 microgram to about 10 milligrams, but can range up to 100 milligrams of the composition per kilogram body weight of the patient. [0074] The active compound is typically included in the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in an amount sufficient to exert a therapeutically useful effect in the absence of undesirable side effects on the patient treated. The therapeutically effective concentration may be determined empirically by testing the compounds in known in vitro and in vivo model systems for the treated disorder.
[0075] The compounds and compositions of the invention can be enclosed in multiple or single dose containers. The enclosed compounds and compositions can be provided in kits, for example, including component parts that can be assembled for use. For example, a compound of the invention in lyophilized form, and a suitable diluent, may be provided as separated components for combination prior to use. A kit may include a compound of the invention and a second therapeutic agent for co-
administration. The compound of the invention and second therapeutic agent may be provided as separate component parts.
[0076] A kit herein may include a plurality of containers, each container holding one or more unit dose of the compound of the invention. The containers are preferably adapted for the desired mode of administration, including, but not limited to tablets, gel capsules, sustained-release capsules, and the like for oral administration; depot products, pre-filled syringes, ampules, vials, and the like for parenternal administration; and patches, medipads, creams, ointments, and the like for topical administration. [0077] The concentration of active compound in the drug composition will depend on absorption, inactivation, and excretion rates of the active compound, the dosage schedule, and amount administered as well as other factors known to those of skill in the art. The active ingredient may be administered at once, or may be divided into a number of smaller doses to be administered at intervals of time. It is understood that the precise dosage and duration of treatment is a function of the disease being treated and may be determined empirically using known testing protocols or by extrapolation from in vivo or in vitro test data.
[0078] It is to be noted that concentrations and dosage values may also vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the composition(s), and that the concentration ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed compositions.

Example 476: Intermediates
Intermediate 1: 4-(Chloromethyl)thiazol-2-amine hydrochloride
To a solution of 1,3-dichloroacetone (150 g, 1.18 mol) in acetone (600 mL) was added a solution of thiourea (91.7 g, 1.23 mol) in acetone (3000 mL). The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting suspension was concentrated to dryness in vacuo. Ethanol (1.2 L) was added and the mixture was stirred for 3 h. The insolubles were removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated to 500 mL. Heptanes (1.5 L) were slowly added resulting in the formation of a white precipitate. This was isolated by filtration, washed with heptane and dried in vacuo to afford 4-(chloromethyl)thiazol-2- amine hydrochloride as a white solid (141.3 g, 0.76 mol, 64%). 1H NMR (DMSO-J6): δ 9.50 (bs, 2H); 7.00 (s, IH); 4.68 (s, 2H).
Alternative Process for Intermediate 1: A mixture of 1,3-dichloroacetone (380.9 g, 3 mol), thiourea (228.3 g, 3 mol), and isopropanol (3.6 L) was stirred at 40 0C under an inert atmosphere, affording a clear solution. The product crystallized after stirring overnight at room temperature. After cooling to -20 0C, the product was isolated by filtration, washed with cold isopropanol (0.4 L), and dried in vacuo to afford the title compound as white crystals (408 g, 73.5% yield).
Intermediate 2: l-(3,4-Dichlorobenzyl)-3-(4-(chloromethyl)thiazol-2-yl)urea

[0087] Compounds of the present invention were not compromised by existing resistance to all drug classes tested, including β-lactams, glycopeptides, oxazolidinones, macrolides, and fluoroquinolones. In particular, compounds described in Examples 11, 54, 60, and 208 were active against methicillin- (oxacillin-) resistant S. aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA), linezolid-resistant S. aureus, methicillin- (oxacillin-) resistant and mupirocin resistant S. epidermidis, macrolide-resistant S. pyogenes, macrolide-, penicillin-, and levofloxacin-resistant S. pneumoniae, vancomycin- , macrolide-, and ciprofloxacin-resistant E. faecalis (VRE) and vancomycin-, macrolide-, and ciprofloxacin-resistant E. faecium. MICs were comparable in sensitive versus drug resistant strains, and ranged from 0.25-4 μg/mL in clinically relevant resistant strains. [0088] Compounds of the present invention showed broad spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Compounds described in Examples 54, 60, 96, 107, 208, and 214 exhibited MIC^'s ranging from 1-4 μg/mL for methicillin- (oxacillin-) resistant S. aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis (VRE), vancomycin- resistant E. faecium, penicillin-intermediate S. pneumoniae and macrolide-resistant S. pyogenes.
