INHIBITORS OF CELLULAR EFFLUX PUMPS OF MICROBES
This invention relates to compounds with efflux pump inhibitor properties, and
which are
therefore compounds which inhibit cellular efflux pumps of bacteria or other
microbes. Such
efflux pump inhibitors are useful, for example, against antibiotic-resistant
microbial pathogens,
for treating microbial infections by reducing the export of a co-administered
antimicrobial agent
or by preventing the export of a compound synthesized by microbes (e.g.
bacteria, fungi) to allow
or improve their growth. Thus, this invention also provides processes for
preparation of such
efflux pump inhibitors, compositions which include such efflux pump
inhibitors, and the use of the
compounds and compositions in methods for treatment of microbial infections.
Background of the Invention
Microbes are known to have developed the ability to evolve different
mechanisms of self defense
against antimicrobial agents. In particular, bacterial and fungal pathogens
have developed
mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics and antimicrobial agents used to
inhibit their growth, or to
treat infections by them in humans, animals and tissue cultures. As a result,
treatment regimens
can be adversely affected or, in some cases rendered ineffective.
One of the most frequently employed resistance strategies in both prokaryotes
and eukaryotes is
the transmembrane-protein-catalyst extrusion of drugs from the cell, with
these proteins acting
like bilge pumps, reducing the intracellular drug concentration to subtoxic
levels. (M. Ines
Vorges-Walmsley et al, Trends in Microbiology, 2001, 9:71-79).
Recent developments in the efflux area include the discovery of new monodrug
efflux systems, as
well as the realisation of the importance of multidrug efflux systems (l3.
Nikaido and H.I.
Zgurskaya, Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 1999, 12:529). In gram-
negative bacteria, for
example, single component efflux pumps extrude their substrates into the
periplasmic space as is
3 0 done by the transposon-encoded tetracycline- and chloramphenicol-specific
pumps, TetA and
CmIA, respectively, and the MDR pump MdfA encoded in the chromosome of
Esclzerichia coli.
Bacterial genomes sequenced to date almost invariably contain genes apparently
coding for
multidrug efflux pumps. Multidrug efflux as a major cause of intrinsic drug
resistance in many
3 5 microorganisms, or overproduction of intrinsic pumps, or acquisition of
pump genes from
external sources, all play a prominent role, often resulting in high levels of
resistance. Examples
of multicomponent efflux pumps, belonging mainly to the resistance-nodulation-
division (RND)
family members, found mostly in gram-negative bacteria, include the MDR pumps
AcrAB-ToIC

WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
and MexAB-OprM from E. coli and Pseudonzouas aerugizzosa. Interplay between
efflux pumps
may provide either additive or multiplicative effects on drug resistance (A.
Lee et al, J. of
Bacteriology, 2000, 182:3142). MexAB-OprM, MexCD-OprJ, MexEF-OprN, MexXY-OprM,
AcrAB-ToIC, AcrEF, MarA, SoxS, or/and Tet pumps are known to be present in
Gram negative
organisms such as P. aerugizzosa and E. coli and are reviewed in recent
publications and papers,
such as K. K. Y. Wong et al, J. of Bacteriology, 2001,183:367-374; K. Poole,
Antimicrobial Agents
and Chemother,, 2000, 44:2233-2241; R Srikumar et al, Abstracts of the 40t"
Interscience
Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemother., 2000, Abstr. 441:74; Xian
Zhi Li et al,
Journal of Antimicrob. Chemother., 2000, 45:433-436; Koronakis et.al., Nature,
2000, 405:914-
919; M. Oethinger et al, Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother., 2000, 44:10-13;
W.V. Kern, et al,
Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother., 2000, 44:814-820; O..Lomovskaya, et al,
Antimicrob.
Agents and Chemother., 1999, 43:1340-1346. Active efflux has been shown to be
the primary or
molecular mechanism of a fluoroquinolone resistance in Salzzzozzella euterica
Serovar
Typhimurium (E Giraud et al, Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother., 2000, 44:1223-
1228) and in
P. arugizzosa isolates from cystic fibrosis patients (S Jalal et al,
Antimicrob. Agents and
Chemother., 2000, 44:710-712). Efflux mediated aminoglycoside and macrolide
resistance in
Buzklzolderia pseudoozallei, the causative agent of meliodosis has been
described in R. A. Moore et
al, Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother.,1999, 43:465-470.
2 0 Efflux transporters are also among different mechanisms responsible for
the resistance to
antibiotics displayed by gram-positive bacteria and mycobacteria, particularly
aerobic gram-
positive cocci. The multidrug transporter NorA, belonging to the major
facilitator superfamily
(MFS) transporters, contributes to the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to
fluoroquinolone
antibiotics. A minireview describes effllux-mediated resistance to
fluoroquinolones in Gram-
positive bacteria and the mycobacteria (K. Poole, Antimicro. Agents and
Chemother., 2000, 44:
2595-2599). To the MFS transporters also belong the Bmr and QacA/QacB efflux
pumps of
Gram-positive bacteria, and EmrB of E. coli (H. Nikaido, Current Opinion in
Microbiology, 1:
516-523). A structure-based mechanism for drug binding by multidrug
transporters is recently
proposed using the BmrR protein from Bacillus subtilis and the multidrug
transporter MdfA from
3 0 E coli (E. E. Zheleznova et al, Trends in Biological Sciences 2000, 25:39-
43), which mechanism is
also putatively considered for the QacA/QacB efflux system of S aureus. New
MFS pumps include
PmrA (a homolog of NorA) of Streptococcus pzzeuzzzozziae (J. Broskey et al,
Journal of Antimicrob.
Chemother., 2000, 4S:Suppl. S1, 95-99; M.J. Gill etal, Antimicrob. Agents and
Chemother., 1999,
43:187-189) and Tap of Mycobacterium fortuituzzz and M. tuberculosis.
Recently, NorM, which
pumps out fluoroquinolones and some cationic agents was found to be outside
the MFS
transporter class. The role of membrane-fusion protein (MFP) structural
homologues recently
identified in low G + C Gram positive bacteria that lack an outer membrane, as

The Mef efflux system mediates large fractions of erythromycin-resistant
clinical isolates of S.
pzzeuznoniae (N. J. Johnston et al, Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother., 1998,
42:2425; T.
Nishijima et al, J. Antimicrob. Chemother., 1999, 43:637). Beta-haemolytic
streptococci and
pneumococci resistant to erythromycin due to the prsence of MefA efflux pumps
in Streptococcus
pyogetzes, Mef E pumps in S. pneumotziae, and an M phenotype bearing S,
agalactiae possessing
Mef A or Mef E pumps are found to be emergent and prevalent in Europe (C.
Arpin et al, J.
Antimicrob. Chemother., 1999, 44:133-138; E. Giovanetti et al, Antimicrob.
Agents and
Chemother.,1999, 43:1935-1940).
Efflux and drug resistance in fungi and protozoa have also been described (T.
G. White et al., Clin
Microbiol. Rev. 1998, 11:382; D. Sanglard, Drug Resistance Updates 1998,

Papadopoulou et al, Drug Resistance Updates 1998, 1: 266; E. Orozao et al,

In summary, the above discussion indicates that cellular factors affecting
transport (both active
and passive transport) of antibiotics into bacterial cells are important
components of antibiotic
2 0 resistance for many microbial species.
One strategy to target resistance mechanisms of nnicrobial self defense is to
find inhibitors of
microbial efflux pumps and, in particular of bacterial and fungal efflux
pumps.

Novel inhibitors of the NorA multidrug transporter of S. aureus having
structurally diverse

Minocycline and 1,1-dimethyl-5-(1-hydroxypropyl)-4,6,7-trimethylindan (Ro 07-

The 3-
arylpiperidine compounds have a structure unlike the efflux pump inhibitor
compounds of the
present invention.
To our knowledge no drug-like organic molecule has been identified, described
or proposed as an
inhibitor of a Mef efflux pump.
Deficiencies abound in the efflux pump inhibitors disclosed in the art prior
to our present
invention.
Reserpine is not a usable compound for therapy because of its neurotoxicity at
the concentration
2 0 required for efflux pump inhibition.
The inhibitors of single drug and multidrug transporters such as the dipeptide
amide, MC'-
207,110, are broad in specificity, inhibiting all three RND systems of P.
aerugiuosa involved in
fluoroquinolone efflux, but have not been shown to be effective against pumps
of other strains, for
instance a NorA pump. Moreover, the methods employed to demonstrate their
efflux pump
inhibitory properties are mainly ifz vitro methods. For demonstration of iu
vivo activity, recourse
has had to be taken to parenteral administration ( cf. T.E.Renau et al,
J.Med.Chem.,1999, 42,
4928), rather than oral administration, as it is generally known that oral
bioavailability is poor for
compounds of a peptidic nature.
The series of inhibitors described in WO 00/32196 and by Markham et al (vide
infra) have been
minimally and incompletely profiled in terms of their efficacy, safety and
tolerability, which has
yet to be demonstrated in itz vivo models.
Potent inhibitors of microbial efflux pumps is thus an important goal for the
improved control of
infectious diseases, allowing a renaissance for drugs that are no longer
effective owing to their
efflux (K. Poole, Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2001, 53:283-294). The
current

The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of compounds I are
prepared in a
conventional manner by treating a solution or suspension of the free base I
with about one
chemical equivalent of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid. Conventional
concentration and
recrystallisation techniques are employed in isolating the salts. Illustrative
of suitable acids are
hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, sulphuric, sulfamic, sulfonic,
phosphoric, acetic, lactic,
succinic, oxalic, malefic, fumaric, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic,
gluconic, benzoic, cinnamic,
methanesulfonic and p-toluenesulfonic acid.
The pharmaceutically acceptable cationic salts of compounds I may be prepared
by conventional
methods from the corresponding acids e.g. by reaction with about one equimolar
amount of a
base. Examples of suitable cationic salts are those of alkali metals such as
lithium, sodium or
potassium, alkaline earth metals such as magnesium or calcium or ammonium or
organic amines
such diethanolamine, N-methylglucamine, guanidine or heterocyclic amines such
as choline,
piperidine, N-methyl-4-hydroxypiperidine, hydroxyethylpyrrolidine,
hydroxyethylpiperidine,

Particularly appropriate examples of a microbe appropriate for the use of an
efflux pump
3 0 inhibitor are pathogenic bacterial species, such as Streptococcus
pzzeumouiae, Streptococcus
pyogetzes, Pseudonzoraas aerugitzosa, Esclaerischia coli, Staplzylococcus
aureus which can be
intrinsically resistant to commonly used antibacterial agents. Exposing these
bacteria to an efflux
pump inhibitor can significantly slow the export of an antibacterial agent
from the interior of the
cell or the export of siderophores. For instance, overexpression of the norA
multidrug transporter
3 5 has been reported for strains of S aureus for fluoroquinolone resistance
both iu-vitz~o (Yoshida et.
al., 1990; Kaatz et.al., 1990) and ifz-vivo (Trucksis et.al., 1991).
Therefore, if another antibacterial
agent is administered in conjunction with the efflux pump inhibitor, the
antibacterial agent, which
28


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30
WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
would otherwise be maintained at a very low intracellular concentration by the
export process,
can accumulate to a concentration which will inhibit the growth of the
bacterial cells. This growth
inhibition can be due to either bacteriostatic or bactericidal activity,
depending on the specific
antibacterial agent used. While P. aerugi~zosa is an example of an appropriate
bacterium, other
bacterial and microbial species including those described above may contain
similar broad
substrate pumps, which actively export a variety of antimicrobial agents, and
thus can also be
appropriate targets.
In addition as suggested above, for some microbial, e.g., bacterial, species,
efflux pump inhibitors
can decrease the virulence of the microbe, for example, by inhibiting the
transport of factors
important for pathogenicity. Again using P. aerugiuosa as an example,
inhibition of an efflux
pump in this bacterium inhibits the uptake of iron, which is important for
pathogenicity. The
mechanism of bacterial iron transport involves molecules called siderophores,
which are
synthesised and exported by bacterial cells via efflux pumps. These
siderophores bind tightly to
iron scavenged from the host, and are then taken up by the bacteria. In this
way, the iron needed
for bacterial metabolism is obtained, and an infection can be maintained.
Therefore, illustrating the utility of efflux pump inhibitors, inhibiting the
efflux pump of
Streptococcus pheuzuozziae, Stzeptococcus pyogeues, Pseudomo~zas aerugi~zosa,
Eschezisclaia coli,
2 0 Staphylococcus aureus allows obtaining one or more of the following
biological effects:
1. Stz~eptococcus p~zeunzo~ziae, Streptococcus pyogefzes, Pseudozzzouas
aerugiuosa, Esclaerisclaia coli,
Staphylococcus auz~ercs strains will become susceptible to antibiotics that
could not be used for

Obtaining even one of these effects provides a potential therapeutic treatment
for infections by
these bacteria. Also, as previously mentioned, similar pumps are found in
other microorganisms.
Some or all of the above effects can also be obtained with those microbes, and
they are therefore
also appropriate targets for detecting or using efflux pump inhibitors. Thus,
the term "microbes"
include, for example, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and protozoa.

The term "efflux pump" refers to a protein assembly which exports substrate
molecules from the
3 5 cytoplasm or periplasm of a cell, in an energy dependent fashion. Thus an
efflux pump will
typically be located in the cytoplasmic membrane of the cell (spanning the
cytoplasmic
membrane). In Gram-negative bacteria the pump may span the periplasmic space
and there may


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30
WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
also be portion of the efflux pump which spans the outer membrane. Certain
efflux pumps will
include a polypeptide which has at least 50% amino acid sequence similarity
with a polypeptide
which is part of the P. aerugitzosa mexAlmexB/oprM efflux pump or the efflux
pump
overexpressed by P.aerugiuosa strain K385, or the efflux pump overexpressed by
P. aerugiuosa
strain PA040998E. Due to the described sequence similarity of a component
polypeptide of the
efflux pump, such an efflux pump is termed a P. aeruginosa-type efflux pump.
An "efflux pump inhibitor" is a compound which specifically interferes with
the ability of an
efflux pump to export its normal substrate, or other compounds such as an
antibiotic. The
inhibitor may have intrinsic antimicrobial (e.g. antibacterial) activity of
its own, but at least a
significant portion of the relevant activity is due to the efflux pump
inhibiting activity. Of
particular interest in this izzvention, are compounds which inhibit the export
or activity of efflux
pumps which have a broad substrate range which includes antibacterial agents.
The term
Streptococcus pfzeumouiae-type efflux pump inhibitor refers to an efflux pump
inhibitor which
inhibits a Streptococcus pueunzouiae-type efflux pump. The term "Pseudomouas
aerugiuosa- type
efflux pump inhibitor" refers to an efflux pump inhibitor which inhibits a
Pseudonzonas
aerugiuosa-type efflux pump. The term "Escherisclzia coli-type efflux pump
inhibitor" refers to an
efflux pump inhibitor which inhibits an Esclzerisclaia coli -type efflux pump.
The term
"Staphylococcus aureus-type efflux pump inhibitor" refers to an efflux pump
inhibitor which
2 0 inhibits a Staphylococcus aureus -type efflux pump.
In another aspect, this invention provides a method for treating a microbial
infection, e.g., a
bacterial infection, in an animal by administering to an animal suffering from
such an infection an
efflux pump inhibitor as described above in an amount sufficient to reduce
efflux pump activity.
In a preferred embodiment, the inhibitor is one which decreases the
pathogenicity of the microbe.
Such a decrease in pathogenicity can be obtained, for example, by interfering
with essential
bacterial element acquisition by inhibiting the transport of siderophores. The
pathogenicity may
also be reduced by reducing or eliminating the microbial products which cause
tissue-damaging
3 0 effects-to the host. Other methods of reducing pathogenicity are, however,
also within this aspect.
The host is an animal and may be, for example, chickens and turkeys, and in
certain preferred
embodiments in a mammal, e.g. a human.
In certain preferred embodiments, the microbial infection may be due to
bacteria, which may, for
example, be any of the bacterial species indicated above, but specifically
including Streptococcus
pueunzouiae, Pseudomouas aerugiuosa, Esclaerischia coli, Staplzylococcus
aureus.

In a related aspect, this invention provides a method of treating an animal
suffering from a
microbial infection by administering to the animal an efflux pump inhibitor in
an amount
sufficient to reduce efflux pump activity. In this aspect, the efflux pump
inhibitor in one which
reduces the iiz vivo viability of a microbe involved in the infection. By
reducing the i~z vivo
viability, the infected animal can more readily clear its body of the
infection, or the microbes may
even be killed. In particular embodiments the animal is a mammal. Also in
particular
embodiments, the microbe may be from one of a variety of pathogenic bacterial
species,
specifically including those listed above.
The term "izz vivo viability" refers to the ability of a microbe, e.g., a
bacterium, to survive or grow
in a host, such as an animal. Therefore, an efflux pump inhibitor which
reduces the ifz vivo
viability of a microbe may stop the growth of the microbe and/or kill the
microbe. Such efflux
pump inhibitors, therefore, are antimicrobial agents.
In a further related aspect, this invention includes a method for prophylactic
treatment of an
animal, e.g., a mammal. In this method, an efflux pump inhibitor which reduces
the pathogenicity
of a microbe is administered to a mammal at risk of a microbial infection,
e.g., a bacterial
infection.
2 0 In a related aspect, the invention provides a method for treating a
microbial infection in an
animal, specifically including in a mammal, by treating an animal suffering
from such an infection
with an antimicrobial agent and an efflux pump inhibitor which increases the
susceptibility of the
microbe for that antimicrobial agent. In this way a microbe involved in the
infection can be
treated using the antimicrobial agent in smaller quantities, or can be treated
with an antimicrobial
agent which is not therapeutically effective when used in the absence of the
efflux pump inhibitor.
Thus, this method of treatment is especially appropriate for the treatment of
infections using an
antimicrobial agent alone due to a need for high dosage levels (which can
cause undesirable side
effects), or due to lack of any clinically effective antimicrobial agents.
However, it is also
appropriate for treating infections involving microbes which are susceptible
to particular
3 0 antimicrobial agents as a way to reduce the dosage of those particular
agents. This can reduce the
risk of side effects, but can also reduce the selection effect for highly
resistant microbes resulting
from the consistent high level use of a particular antimicrobial agent. In
particular embodiment
the microbe is a bacterium, which may, for example, be from any of the groups
or species
indicated above. Also in particular embodiments various antibacterial agents
can be used. These
3 5 include quinolones, tetracyclines, glycopeptides, aminoglycosides, beta-
lactams, rifamycins,
coumermycins, macrolides, and chloramphenicol. In particular embodiments an
antibiotic of the
above classes can be, for example, one of the following:

Each of the above compounds have been reported in the literature. Other
antibiotic compounds
which may be identified which are effluxed by particular bacteria can also be
utilised with the
efflux pump inhibitors of this invention.
In the context of the response of a microbe, such as a bacterium, to an
antimicrobial agent, the
term "susceptibility" refers to the sensitivity of the microbe for the
presence of the antimicrobial
agent. So, to increase the susceptibility means that the microbe will be
inhibited by a lower
concentration of the antimicrobial agent in the medium surrounding the
microbial cells. This is
equivalent to saying that the microbe is more sensitive to the antimicrobial
agent. In most cases
the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of that antimicrobiaI agent will
have been reduced.
As used herein, the term "treating" refers to administering a pharmaceutical
composition for
prophylactic and/or therapeutic purposes. The term "prophylactic treatment"
refers to treating
an organism such as a human patient, who is not yet infected, but who is
susceptible to, or
2 0 otherwise at risk of, a particular infection. The terms "susceptible" and
"risk" do not refer to the
status of organisms of that type generally, but rather refers to a
significantly enhanced risk. Such
risk may for example be due to a specific exposure to a particular potentially
infective agent, to a
generally weakened physical condition, or immune system deficiency.
Preferably, for humans the
enhanced risk is sufficient such that a prudent doctor familiar with the
treatment of the potential
2 5 infection would find prophylactic treatment medically warranted. The term
"microbial infection"
refers to a disease state or some adverse condition(s), such as the presence
of a pathogenic
microorganism in a body fluid like blood, urine, cerebrospinal or organ
tissue, which are
otherwise sterile or free of pathogenic microorganisms. The term "therapeutic
treatment" refers
to administering treatment to a patient already suffering from an infection.
Thus, in preferred
3 0 embodiments, treating is the administration to a mammal (either for
therapeutic or prophylactic
purposes) of therapeutically effective amounts of a potentiator and an
antibacterial (or
antimicrobial) agent in combination (either simultaneously or serially). The
term "potentiator"
refers to a compound such as an efflux pump inhibitor which has the ability to
increase the
concentration of existing antibiotics in a microbial cell.
By "therapeutically effective amount" or "pharmaceutically effective amount"
is meant an
amount of an efflux pump inhibitor, or amounts individually of an efflux pump
inhibitor and an
34


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30
WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
antimicrobial agent, as disclosed for this invention, which have a therapeutic
effect, which
generally refers to the inhibition to some extent of the normal metabolism of
microbial cells
causing or contributing to a microbial infection. The doses of efflux pump
inhibitor and
antimicrobial agent which are useful in combination as a treatment are
therapeutically effective
amounts. Thus, as used herein, a therapeutically effective amount means those
amounts of efflux
pump inhibitor and antimicrobial agent which, when used in combination,
produce the desired
therapeutic effect as judged by clinical trial results and/or model animal
infection studies. In
particular embodiments, the efflux pump inhibitor and antimicrobial agent are
combined in pre-
determined proportions and thus a therapeutically effective amount would be an
amount of the
combination. This amount and the amount of the efflux pump inhibitor and
antimicrobial agent
individually can be routinely determined by one of skill in the art, and will
vary, depending on
several factors, such as the particular microbial strain involved and the
particular efflux pump
inhibitor and antimicrobial agent used. This amount can further depend upon
the patient's
height, weight, sex, age and medical history. For prophylactic treatments, a
therapeutically
effective amount is that amount which would be effective if a microbial
infection existed.
A therapeutic effect relieves, to some extent, one or more of the symptoms of
the infection, and
includes curing an infection. "Curing" means that the symptoms of active
infections are
eliminated, including the elimination of excessive numbers of viable microbes
of those involved in
2 0 the infection. However, certain long-term or permanent effects of the
infection may exist even
after a cure is obtained (such as extensive tissue damage).
The term "microbial infection" refers to the invasion of the host mammal by
pathogenic microbes.
This includes the excessive growth of microbes which are normally present in
or on the body of a
mammal. More generally, a microbial infection can be any situation in which
the presence of a
microbial populations) is damaging to a host mammal. Thus, a mammal is
"suffering" from a
microbial infection when excessive numbers of a microbial population are
present in or on a
mammal's body, or when the effects of the presence of a microbial population
(s) is damaging the
cells or other tissue of a mammal. Specifically, this description applies to a
bacterial infection.
The term "administration" or "administering" refers to a method of giving a
dosage of an
antimicrobial pharmaceutical composition to a mammal, where the method is,
e.g., topical, oral,
intravenous, intraperitoneal, or intramuscular. The preferred method of
administration can vary
depending on various factors e.g., the components of the pharmaceutical
composition, the site of
3 5 the potential or actual bacterial infection, the microbe involved, and the
severity of an actual
microbial infection.


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30
WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
The term "mammal" is used in its usual biological sense. Thus, it specifically
includes humans,
cattle, horses, dogs, and cats, but also includes many other species.
This invention also features a method of enhancing the antimicrobial activity
of an antimicrobial
agent against a microbe, in which such a microbe is contacted with an efflux
pump inhibitor, e.g.,
a non-tetracycline specific efflux pump inhibitor, to an efflux pump in the
cell, and an
antibacterial agent. The efflux pump inhibitor is a compound as described
above. Thus, this
method makes an antimicrobial agent more effective against a cell which
expresses an efflux pump
when the cell is treated with the combination of an antimicrobial agent and
efflux pump inhibitor.
In particular embodiments the microbe is a bacterium or a fungus, such as any
of those described
above; the antibacterial agent can be selected from a number of structural
classes of antibiotics
including, e.g., beta-lactams, glycopeptides, aminoglycosides, quinolones,
tetracyclines, rifamycins,
coumermycins, macrolides, and chloramphenicol. In particular embodiments an
antibiotic of the
above classes can be as stated above.
In a further aspect this invention provides pharmaceutical compositions
effective for treatment of
an infection of an animal, e.g., a mammal, by a microbe, such as a bacterium
or a fungus. The
composition includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and an efflux pump
inhibitor as
described above. In preferred embodiments, such compositions contain efflux
pump inhibitors,
2 0 which are themselves effective antimicrobial agents, even in the absence
of another antimicrobial
agent (i.e., have intrinsic antimicrobial activity). Thus, pharmaceutical
composition including
such efflux pump inhibitors can be used either alone or in conjunction with
another antimicrobial
agent. Also in preferred embodiments, the efflux pump inhibitors in
pharmaceutical compositions
of this aspect are efflux pump inhibitors which enhance the effectiveness of
an antimicrobial agent
2 5 other than the efflux pump inhibitor, so such compositions would generally
be used in
combination with such other antimicrobial agent. The invention also provides
pharmaceutical
compositions similarly effective for treatment of an infection of a mammal
which include an efflux
pump inhibitor and an antimicrobial agent. Similarly, the invention provides
antimicrobial
formulations which include an antimicrobial agent, an efflux pump inhibitor,
and a carrier. In
3 0 preferred embodiments, the antimicrobial agent is an antibacterial agent.
A "carrier" or "excipient" is a compound or material used to facilitate
administration of the
compound, for example, to increase the solubility of the compound. Solid
carriers include, e.g.,
starch, lactose, dicalcium phosphate, sucrose, and kaolin. Liquid carriers
include, e.g., sterile
3 5 water, saline, buffers, non-ionic surfactants, and edible oils such as
oil, peanut and sesame oils. In
addition, various adjuvants such as are commonly used in the art may be
included. These and
other such compounds are described in the literature, e.g., in the Merck
Ifadex, Merck & Compasay,

Rahway, NJ. Considerations for the inclusion of various components in
pharmaceutical
compositions are described, e.g., in Gilman et al. (Eds.) (1990); Goodman and
Gilman's; The .
Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8t" Ed., Pergamon Press.
In yet another aspect, the invention provides a method of suppressing growth
of a microbe, e.g., a
bacterium, expressing an efflux pump, e.g., a non-tetracycline-specific efflux
pump. As illustrated
by the case where the microbe is a bacterium, the method involves containing
that bacterium with
' an efflux pump inhibitor, e.g., a non-tetracycline-specific efflux pump
inhibitor, in the presence of
a concentration of antibacterial agent below the MIC of the bacterium. This
method is useful, for
example, to prevent or cure contamination of a cell culture by a bacterium
possessing an efflux
pump. However, it applies to any situation where such growth suppression is
desirable.
In another related aspect, the invention provides a method fox reducing a
population of a microbe,
e.g., a bacterial strain, involving contacting the population with an efflux
pump inhibitor which
inhibits a component of an efflux pump expressed in the microbe in that
population, which is
essential for the growth of the microbe expressing that efflux pump. In
particular embodiments,
that component is cytoplasmic membrane component. As indicated above, such
efflux pump
inhibitors may act in various ways, including, but not limited to, acting
directly on the essential
component, or acting to inhibit the expression of that component.
The term "reducing a population" means that the microbes of that population
are being killed.
This is distinguished from the action of a static agent, e.g., a
bacteriostatic agent, which prevents
the bacteria from growing and multiplying but does not kill the microbes.
Accordingly, in the
context of this aspect, an "essential component" of an efflux pump is one
which is essential to the
in vivo survival of the microbe, i.e., the survival in a host.
In yet another aspect, this invention provides a method for enhancing growth
of an animal by
administering an efflux pump inhibitor to the animal, which inhibits an efflux
pump expressed in
a bacterial strain in the animal, and which inhibits the growth of the
bacterial strain. Such a
3 0 growth enhancing effect may result from the reduced energy consumption by
the bacteria, which
increases the food energy available to the animal. This method is appropriate,
for example, for
use with cattle, swine, and fowl such as chickens and turkeys.
In an additional aspect, the invention provides novel compounds having efflux
pump activity.
3 5 These compounds have chemical structures as described above.
37


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30
WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
As indicated above, while the present invention is presently exemplified by
activity against
bacteria, compounds of the present invention also have activity against other
microbes, for
example against yeasts and/or other fungi. Thus, the above aspects also
include embodiments in
which described compounds are active or effective against such other microbes.
In further aspect, the invention provides a method of making a pharmaceutical
composition
comprising the steps of identifying an efflux pump inhibitor having a chemical
structure of the
formula I; synthesizing said efflux pump inhibitor and preparing a
pharmaceutical composition
containing said efflux pump inhibitor. The efflux pump inhibitor may have the
chemical structure
as described above. The pharmaceutical composition may also contain one or
more antimicrobial
agents, e.g., as identified above, and one or more carriers, diluents, and
excipients. Further, in
preferred embodiments, the efflux inhibitor compound is active against a
microbe, e.g., a
bacterium, as identified above.
Identification of Efflux Pumn Inhibitors
Identification of efflux pump inhibitors having structures as described for
the present invention
was performed using screening methods known to those skilled in the art of
biological techniques
and are described in detail below. In particular, the screening method based
on inhibition of
2 0 microbial growth in the presence of a subinhibitory concentration of an
antibacterial agent which
is normally effluxed by the test microbe and a concentration of a test
compound was used for
identifying some of the active compounds disclosed herein. In this method,
inhibition of growth of
the microbe is indicative that export of the antibacterial agent is inhibited
by the test compound,
and that the test compound is therefore an efflux pump inhibitor. The mode of
action of the test
compound so identified can then be confirmed as inhibiting active efflux.
However, other
screening methods for detecting efflux pump inhibitors can also be used.
Synthesis of Derivatives of Efflux Pumu Inhibitors from Screening
3 0 The inventors have screened a library of synthetic chemicals and
identified several compounds
that effectively inhibit the respective efflux pumps of Staphylococcus aureus
1199B NorA~,
Streptoc~ccus przeumoniae 3514, Pseudoviofaas aerugitaosa 23587, Escherisclaia
coli 2051. Some of
these compounds were found to be also effective against presently unidentified
multidrug
transporters of other microorganisms.
38


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30
WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
The library of compounds was obtained by synthesis according to methods as
described in our
copending applications PCT application PCT/IN99/OOOI6, US applications
09/566,875, 09/640,947,
and 09/850,669 and by methodologies described in a later section below.
Exemplary compounds of the present invention were synthesised by methods as
described in the
examples below. Those skilled in the art will understand how to synthesise
additional compounds
within the scope of this invention based on the described syntheses and the
knowledge of those
skilled in the art of chemical synthesis.
The following examples illustrate methods of screening, which have led to the
identification of
efflux pump inhibitors. They, however, do not Iimit the scope of methods that
can be used for
screening or the kinds of efflux pump inhibitors that can be found by such
varied methods.
Screening of Efflux Pumu Inhibitors - In-vivo
Inhibitors of the bacterial efflux pumps are generally initially characterised
in vitro. Those which
show effective inhibition of the pumps) and which show synergistic activity
with antibiotics are
selected fox evaluation in vivo. Efficacy testing will be done using standard
procedures. Primary
efficacy evaluation may be done using the murine septicemia model (M.G.
Bergeron, 1978, Scand.
2 0 J. Infect. Dis. Suppl. 14:189-206; S.D. Davis, 1975, Antimicrob. Agents
Chemother. 8:50-53). In
this model a supra-lethal dose of bacteria is used to challenge the rodents.
Treatment is initiated,
varying either or both times) of treatment and dose of antibiotic. In these
experiments both the
antibiotic and the efflux pump inhibitor doses are varied. A positive result
is indicated by
significant increase in protection from the lethal infection by the
combination of the potentiator
2 5 (the efflux pump inhibitor) and the antibiotic versus the antibiotic
alone.
A second efficacy model which is used is the mouse soft tissue infection model
(Vogelman et.al.
1988, J. Infect. Dis. 157:287-298). In this model anaesthetised mice are
infected with an
appropriate titer of bacteria in the muscle of the hind thigh. Mice are either
neutropenic
3 0 (cyclophosphamide treated at 125 mg/kg on days -4, -2, and 0) or
immunocompetent. The
infecting dose is commonly 105 - 106 colony forming units per animal.
Treatment with the
combination of the efflux pump inhibitor and/or antibiotics follows infection,
or can occur before
infection. The proliferation (or death) of the bacteria within the thigh
muscle is monitored over
time. Effective combinations show greater activity than the antibiotic alone.

Pharmaceutical Comuositions and Modes of Administration
The particular c4mpound that is an efflux pump inhibitor can be administered
to a patient either
by itself, or in combination with an antimicrobial, e.g., antibacterial,
agent, or in pharmaceutical
compositions where it is mixed with a suitable carriers) or excipient(s) or
diluent(s). A
combination of an efflux pump inhibitor with an antimicrobial agent can be of
at least two
different types. In one, a quantity of an efflux pump inhibitor is combined
with a quantity of an
antimicrobial agent in a mixture, e.g., in a solution or powder mixture. In
such mixtures, the
relative quantities of the inhibitor and the antimicrobial agent may be varied
as appropriate for
the specific combination and expected treatment. In a second type of
combination an inhibitor
and an antimicrobial agent can be covaIently linked in such manner that the
linked molecules
can be cleaved within the cell. However, the term "in combination" can also
refer to other
possibilities, including serial administration of an inhibitor and other
antimicrobial agent. In
addition, an efflux pump inhibitor and/or another antimicrobial agent may be
administered in
pro-drug forms, i.e. the compound is administered in a form which is modified
within the cell to
produce the functional form. In treating a patient exhibiting a disorder of
interest, a
therapeutically effective amount of an agent or agents such as these is
administered. A
therapeutically effective dose refers to that amount of the compounds) that
results in
amelioration of symptoms or a prolongation of survival in a patient, and may
include elimination
2 0 of a microbial infection.
Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such compounds can be determined by
standard
pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for
determining the
LDso (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the EDSO (the dose
therapeutically effective in
50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects
is the therapeutic
index and it can be expressed as the ratio LDSO, EDso, Compounds which exhibit
large
therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtained from these cell culture
assays and animal
studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in human. The
dosage of such
compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that
include the EDSo
3 0 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range
depending upon the dosage and
dosage form employed and the route of administration utilised. It is
preferable that the
therapeutic serum concentration of an efflux pump inhibitor should be in the
range of 0.1-100
mcg/ml, more preferably 0.1 - 50 mcg/ml, even more preferably 0.1 - 20 mcg/ml,
even more
preferably 1.0- 50 mcg./ml or most preferably 1.0 - 20 mcg/ml.
For any compounds used in the method of the invention, the therapeutically
effective dose can be
estimated initially from cell culture assays. For example, a dose can be
formulated in animal


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30
WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range that includes the
ICSO as determined
in cell culture. Such information can be used to more accurately determine
useful dosage in
humans. Levels in plains may be measured, e.g. by HPLC.
In particular preferred embodiments, the efflux inhibitor in a pharmaceutical
composition has a
structure as shown by the generic structures described above.
The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the
individual
physician in view of the patients condition. (See e.g. Fingl et.al., in The
Pharmacological Basis of
Therapeutics, 1975, Ch.l, p.1). It should be noted that the attending
physician would know how
and when to terminate, interrupt or adjust administration due to toxicity, or
to organ
dysfunctions. Conversely, the attending physician would also know to adjust
treatment to higher
levels if the clinical response were not adequate, (precluding toxicity). The
severity of the
condition may, for example, be evaluated, in part, by standard prognostic
evaluation methods.
Further, the does and perhaps dose frequency will also vary according to the
age, body weight
and response of the individual patient. A programme comparable to that
discussed above may
be used in veterinary medicine.
Depending on the specific infection being treated, such agents may be
formulated and
2 0 administered systemically or locally. Techniques for formulation and
administration may be
found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 19t" ed., Mack Publishing Co.,
Easton, Pa.
(1990). Suitable routes may include oral, rectal, transdermal, vaginal,
transmucosal, or intestinal
administration; parentral delivery, including intramuscular, subcutaneous,
intramedullary,
injections, as well as intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous,
intraperitonial, intranesal,
or intraocular injections just to name a few.
The pharmaceutical compositions are prepared according to conventional
procedures used by
persons skilled in the art to make stable and effective compositions. In the
solid, liquid,
parenteral and topical dosage forms, an effective amount of the active
compound or the active
3 0 ingredient is any amount, which produces the desired results.
For the purpose of this invention the pharmaceutical compositions may contain
the active
compounds of the invention, their derivatives, salts or hydrates thereof, in a
form to be
administered alone, but generally in a form to be administered in admixture
with a
3 5 pharmaceutical carrier selected with regard to the intended route of
administration and
standard pharmaceutical practice. Suitable carriers which can be used are, for
example, diluents
or excipients such as fillers, extenders, binders, emollients, wetting agents,
disintegrants, surface
41


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30

active agents and lubricants which are usually employed to prepare such drugs
depending on the
type of dosage form.
Any suitable route of administration may be employed for providing the patient
with an effective
dosage of the compound of the invention, their derivatives, salts or hydrates
thereof. For
example, oral, rectal, parenteral (subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous),
transdermal,
topical and like forms of administration may be employed. Dosage forms include
(solutions,
suspensions, etc) tablets, pills, powders, troches, dispersions, suspensions,
emulsions, solutions,
capsules, injectable preparations, patches, ointments, creams, lotions,
shampoos and the like.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for oral
administration may be
presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets, or tablets, or aerosol
sprays, each
containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient, as a powder or
granules, or as a
solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid, a non-aqueous liquid, an oil-in-
water emulsion, or
a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. Such compositions may be prepared by any of
the methods of
pharmacy, but all methods include the step of bringing into association the
active ingredient with
the carrier which constitutes one or more necessary ingredients. In general,

Susceptibility Testing
Particular exemplary efflux pump inhibitor compounds within the generic
descriptions of the
compounds of this invention were evaluated for potentiation effect. The iu
vitro microbiological
data for antibiotic potentiation is presented in Tables 1- S.
Testing method for inhibition of the efflux pump of Staphylococcus aureus
1199B NorA+
Compounds disclosed herein were studied for potentiation effect by determining
the Fractional
l0 Inhibition Concentration (FIC) index of compounds and ciprofloxacin.
Potentiation effect is
observed by the reduction of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of
ciprofloxacin in the
presence of the experimental efflux pump inhibitor. The activity of an efflux
pump inhibitor in
combination with a fluoroquinolone such as ciprofloxacin is assessed by the
checkerboard assay
and the FIC index was calculated. An FIC index value of S O.S is synergistic,
of O.S - 2.0 is additive
and > 2.0 is antagonistic (Antimicrobial Combination In Antibiotics in
Laboratory Medicine, Ed.
Victor Lorian, MD, Fourth edition 1996, pp 333-338).
In short, the assay involves broth microdilution method performed as
recommended by the
National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) 1997 (Methods fox
Dilution of
2 0 Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically,
Fourth edition; Approved
Standard, NCCLS document M7-A4, vol. 17, No.2). The test organism used for the
assay is
Staphyloeoccus aureus 1199 B NorA+.
In this assay, multiple dilution of two drugs viz. the experimental efflux
pump inhibitor and
2 5 ciprofloxacin are being tested, alone and in combination, at
concentrations equal to above and
below the respective MICs. In the case of the efflux pump inhibitors of the
invention, a number of
compounds display intrinsic antimicrobial activity, but are tested at sub-MIC
concentrations of 4
mcg - 20 mcg/ml.
3 0 Stock solutions of the efflux pump inhibitors tested are prepared in
dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at
a final concentration of S mg/ml. Stock solutions are further diluted in
Mueller Hinton Broth as
per the need of the assay. Ciprofloxacin is dissolved in water,
The checkerboard assay is performed in microtiter plates. Ciprofloxacin is
diluted in the X-axis,
3 5 each column containing a single concentration of ciprofloxacin. The efflux
pump inhibitor is
diluted in the Y axis, each row containing an equal concentration of efflux
pump inhibitor. The
result of these manipulations is that each well of the microtiter plate
contains a unique


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30
WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
combination of concentrations of the two agents. Bacterial inoculum is added
at 5 x 105 CFU/ml.
Microtiter plates are incubated at 35°C for 20 hours. Reading is done
by visibly noting turbidity
and confirmed using a microtiter plate reader (Molecular Devices). The FIC
index is calculated as
(A) (B)
------------- + -=----------- - FICA + FICB = FIC Index
~CA) ~CB)
(A) is the concentration of the experimental efflux pump inhibitor in the well
that is the lowest
inhibitory concentration in the Y-axis. (MICA) is the MIC of Staphylococcus
aureus to
experimental efflux pump inhibitor alone. FICA is the fractional inhibitory
concentration of an
experimental efflux pump inhibitor. (B) is the concentration of the
ciprofloxacin in the well that is
the lowest inhibitory concentration in the X-axis. FICB is the fractional
inhibitory concentration of
ciprofloxacin. (Antimicrobial Combination In Antibiotics in Laboratory
Medicine, Ed. Victor
Lorian, MD, Fourth edition 1996, pp 333-338).

Antibiotic Diffusion Assay
The activity of efflux pump inhibitor was also assessed using an antibiotic
diffusion assay. For this
assay Pseudomozzas aeruginosa 23587 is used. Pseudozzzozzas aeruginosa 23587
is a clinical isolate
containing multiple efflux pumps which can be mexAB, mexCD, mexEF but riot
limited to mex
2 5 classification only. Pseudomofzas aerugizzosa are grown in tryptic Soya
broth for 20 hours at 35°C.
Two antibiotic assay plates are prepared in Mueller Hinton Agar using above
inoculum. The
bacterial count in a plate is 1 x 106 cells/ml. In one of the plates,
levofloxacin is incorporated at 5
mcg/ml, while in the control plate an equivalent amount of water is added. An
experimental
efflux pump inhibitor is evaluated by adding a series of concentrations of the
test compound
3 0 ranging from 0.025 mcg to 200 mcg./well in agar plate. The plates are
incubated at 35°C for 20
hours and the zone of inhibition was recorded in mm (table 2). The difference
in the diameter of
zone of inhibition was calculated by subtracting from the diameter of the zone
of inhibition in the
levofloxacin containing plate the diameter of the zone of inhibition in the
water containing control
plate. Example, if the diameter of the zone of inhibition in the levofloxacin
plate is X mm and the
3 5 diameter of the zone of inhibition in the control plate is Y mm, the
difference Z = X - Y and is a
measure of the activity of the efflux pump inhibitor.
The activity of an efflux pump inhibitor of E.coli ZOSI was also assessed
using an antibiotic
diffusion assay. For this assay E.coli 2051 is used. E.coli 2051 is a clinical
isolate containing
86


CA 02417799 2003-O1-30
WO 02/09758 PCT/INO1/00139
multiple efflux pumps. E.cvli 2051 are grown in tryptic soya broth for 20
hours at 35°C. Two
antibiotic assay plates are prepared in Mueller Hinton Agar using above
inoculum. The bacterial
count in a plate is 1 x 106 cellslml. In one of the plates, levofloxacin is
incorporated at 15 mcg/ml,
while in the control plate an equivalent amount of water is added. An
experimental efflux pump
inhibitor is evaluated by adding a series of concentrations of the test
compound ranging from
0.025 mcg to 200 mcg./well in agar plate. The plates are incubated at
35°C for 20 hours and the
zone of inhibition was recorded in mm (table 3) . The difference in the
diameter of zone of
inhibition was calculated by subtracting from the zone of inhibition in the
levofloxacin containing
plate the diameter of the zone of inhibition in the control plate.
To detect the macrolide efflux pump (Mef) inhibitor, Streptococcus pneumoftiae
3514 (Mef+) is
used which was obtained from the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), Atlanta. A
similar 2 plate
assay method as described above is used with small modifications.
Streptococcus pneu~rtoniae 3514
(Mef+) is grown in Columbia blood agar for 18 hours at 25°C. The growth
was suspended in
sterile todd hewitt broth and CFU were adjusted using macfarland's standard to
1 x 108 CFU/ml.
0.5 ml of this is added to the Mueller l3inton agar supplemented with 5% sheep
blood, final
bacterial count was 106 cells/ml. In one of the two plates 0.5 mcg/ml
azithromycin is incorporated
and to the control plate an equivalent amount of water is added. The plates
are incubated at 35°C
for 20 hours and the zone of inhibition was recorded in mm (table 4). The
difference in the
2 0 diameter of zone of inhibition was calculated by subtracting from the
diameter of the zone of
inhibition in the azithromycin containing plate the diameter of the zone of
inhibition in the
control plate.
To detect the macrolide efflux pump (Mef) inhibitor, Streptococcus pyogehus 26
00 is used which
was obtained from the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), Atlanta. A similar 2
plate assay method
as described above is used with small modifications. Streptococcus pyogestus
26-00 (Mef+) is grown
in Columbia blood agar for 18 hours at 25°C. The growth was suspended
in sterile todd hewitt
broth and CFU were adjusted using macfarland's standard to 1 x 10g CFU/ml. 0.5
ml of this is
added to the Mueller Hinton agar supplemented with 5% sheep blood, final
bacterial count was
3 0 106 cells/ml. In one of the two plates 0.5 mcg/ml azithromycin is
incorporated and to the control
plate an equivalent amount of water is added. The plates are incubated at
35°C for 20 hours and
the zone of inhibition was recorded in mm (table 4). The difference in the
diameter of zone of
inhibition was calculated by subtracting from the diameter of the zone of
inhibition in the
