Definitions

• lantibiotics are peptides characterized by the presence of the amino acids lanthionine and/or 3-methyllanthionine (H.G. Sahl and G.Bierbaum. Lantibiotics: biosynthesis and biological activities of uniquely modified peptides from gram-positive bacteria- Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 52 (1998) 41-79).
• the term lantibiotic thus defines a structural feature of these compounds and not necessarily a common possible use. In fact, some lantibiotics possess antibacterial activity while others are totally devoid of it.
• lantibiotics possessing antibacterial activity of particular relevance are those active against methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which can be of considerable interest in medicine. All the lantibiotics endowed with antibacterial activity described so far exert their action by interfering with cell wall biosynthesis, through sequestration of a key intermediate in peptidoglycan formation.
• MRSA methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus
• the antibacterial lantibiotics can be broadly divided into two groups on the basis of their structures: type-A lantibiotics are typically elongated, amphophilic peptides, while type-B lantibiotics are compact and globular (McAuliffe, R.P. Ross and C. Hill. Lantibiotics: structure, biosynthesis and mode of action- FEMS Microb. Rev. 25(2001) 285-308).
• Nisin is the typical representative of type A lantibiotic, whereas actagardine and mersacidin belong to the type B lantibiotic subclass.
• both nisin-type and mersacidin- type lantibiotics interact with the membrane-bound peptidoglycan precursor lipid II.
• the spectrum of antibiotic activity is generally restricted to Gram- positive bacteria, individual members of subclasses A and B greatly vary in their potency. Overall, the structural elements responsible for increased target binding and/or enhanced antibacterial activity in lantibiotics are poorly understood.
• lantibiotics have been isolated mostly from the order Firmicutes (low G-C Gram-positive bacteria) and relatively few have been described from the Actinomycetales, the order best known for the ability to produce a large variety of other antibiotics.
• Actagardine and the recently described 107891 Patent EP03016306.7; Chemistry and Biology 2008, 15, 22-31) and 97518 (Patent EP14811986A1; Biochemistry 2007, 46, 5884-5895) are representative lantibiotics produced by the Actinomycetales.
• the novel lantibiotic 97518 is produced by Planomonospora sp.
• DSM 14920 and it was found to inhibit cell wall biosynthesis in bacteria (Patent EP14811986A1; Biochemistry 2007, 46, 5884-5895).
• the lantibiotic 97518 was assigned to the mersacidin subgroup of type B lantibiotics (Biochemistry 2007, 46, 5884-5895). 97518 is active in vitro against MRSA, streptococci and enterococci. S. aureus can cause life-threatening infections and MRSA is of particular clinical significance because it is resistant to all penicillins and cephalosporins and also to multiple other antibiotics; in addition it easily spreads from patient to patient causing outbreaks of infection with important implications for healthcare facilities.
• Vancomycin resistant enterococci are emerging as important hospital-acquired pathogens responsible for severe human infections (such as endocarditis, meningitis and septicemia) posing an increasing therapeutic challenge (Y. Cetinkaya, P. FaIk and CG. Mayhall. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci-Clin. Microbiol Rev.13 (2000) 686-707; L.B. Rice. Emergence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Emerg. Infec. Dis. 7 (2001) 183-7). Streptococcus pneumoniae and Moraxella catarrhalis are recognized important human pathogens.
• Variants and/or derivatives of naturally occurring antibiotics have been long sought after and can be useful in medicine. They can be produced by chemical synthesis or by modification of a natural product, but most structural variations in naturally occurring antibiotics tend to abolish or severely impair their antibacterial activity. This is particularly true in the field of lantibiotics where structure-activity relationships (SAR) are poorly defined, in the absence of molecular details about antibiotic-target interactions. Furthermore, other factors likely to contribute to antibacterial potency are the diffusion rate of the compound to the target, after crossing the thick peptidoglycan layer, and possible interactions with polar, charged and hydrophobic moieties present on the protective external surfaces of the bacterial cell.
• SAR structure-activity relationships
• the present invention describes novel derivatives of the lantibiotic 97518 possessing enhanced antibacterial activity having the general formula (II), wherein some of the original structural features reported for 97518 were incorrectly assigned.
• the novel derivatives have antibacterial activities which are substantially better than that of 97518 itself.
• the invention thus provides novel antibiotic compounds, methods of making such compounds and their use in the treatment of human or animal subjects, particularly in conditions requiring antibacterial therapy. These and other aspects of the invention are described herein.
