temperatures in the range of about 0°C to about 50°C. The
reaction is continued until
completion, which typically occurs in from about 2 to 12 h.
[0082] Appropriately 7-substititued lincosamine intermediates, as defined in
the present
invention (i.e., R2/R3), are synthesized by methods well known to those of
skill in the art from
methyl 6-amino-6,8-dideoxy-1-thio-erythro-(3-D-galacto-octopyranoside, which

[0085] As shown in Scheme l, methyl 6-amino-6,8-dideoxy-1-thio-erythro-[i-D-
galacto-
octopyranoside, la, is prepared as described by Hoeksema, et al., Journal of
the American
Chemical Society,1967, 89 2448-2452. The amino functional group and the
hydroxy functional
groups of the product la are then protected with suitable protecting groups.
Suitable N-
protecting groups can be formed by the addition of di-t-butyldicarbonate, N-
(benzyloxycarbonyloxy) succinimide, and the like. The hydroxy groups can be
protected as silyl
ethers. The hydroxyl group can be converted to trimethylsilyl (TMS) ethers by
reaction with N,
O-bis-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide in the presence of an appropriate
organic base such as
triethylamine (TEA) or trimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of an organic
base such as
triethylamine. The N-protection is typically accomplished before the O-
protection.
Chromatography of the crude product on silica after evaporation of the solvent
provides the
protected product 1b.
[0086] The 7-O-trimethylsilyl group of 1b is chemoselectively deprotected and
oxidized to
provide the 7-keto-lincosamine derivative 1c. This selective transformation is
performed by
addition of the protected product 1b to dinlethylsulfoxide and oxalyl chloride
in an inert organic
solvent such as dichloromethane followed by an appropriate organic base suchas
triethylamine.
Alternatively, the transformation may be performed by addition of 1b to
dimethyl sulfoxide and
an appropriate activating agent such as trifluoroacetic anhydride in an inert
organic solvent. The
reaction is typically conducted at temperatures in the range of approximately -
70°C to 80°C.
The resulting reaction mixture is stirred at the low temperature and is then
allowed to warm to
approximately -50°C. The reaction is maintained at this second
temperature for approximately 1
h to 3 h. To the reaction mixture is added a suitable organic base, such as
TEAS pyridine, and
the like. The reaction mixture is appropriately worked up to provide the
product lc. The
general class of conditions used in the transformation of 1b to lc is known in
the art as Swern
oxidation conditions.

[0088] As shown in Scheme 2, a keto-lincosamine intermediate lc is reacted to
form an
alkene using the Wittig or Homer-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction. In this reaction,
a suitable
phosphonium salt or phosphonate is deprotonated using a strong base to form a

bromide,
diethyl(cyariomethyl)phosphonate and the like. Suitable strong bases which can
tie used to form
the glide include organolithium reagents, potassium tert-butokide, and the
like. The formation
of the phosphorus glide is typically conducted under an inert atmosphere,
such''as'IV~, in an inert
'organic solvent such as toluene, THF, and the like, at low temperatures.
[0089] After formation of the phosphorus glide, the product lc is added to the
reaction. The
reaction conveniently can be performed at temperatures between -40°C
and room temperature
and is stirred until completion, typically 1 to 4 h. The resulting organic
solution is worked-up
and chromatography of the crude product on silica provides the alkene product
2a.
[0090] Optionally, the product of 2a may be purified using conventional
techniques, such as
chromatography and said purified product may be used in the subsequent
coupling reaction to
yield vinyl lincosamine derivatives of the present invention.
[0091] The product 2a is then hydrogenated to provide the saturated product
2b. The
hydrogenation is typically performed in a polar organic solvent such as
methanol, ethanol, and
the like, using 10~/o palladium on carbon in a Parr bottle. The bottle is
purged, and charged with
H~ to approximately 50 to 70 psi and shaken until completion, typically
approximately 12 to
24 h. The resulting reaction mixture is filtered, e.g., through celite, and
rinsed with a polar
organic solvent such as methanol. The organic solution is worked up by
transferring to a resin
funnel containing dry, washed I~owex 50w-400x H+ form and shaken. After
washing the resin

Pharmaceutical Formulations
[0139] When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of the subject
invention are
usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These
compounds can be
administered by a variety of routes including oral, parenteral, transdermal,
topical; rectal, and
intranasal. These compounds are effective as both injectable and oral
eomposi'tions. Such
compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art and
comprise at ,
least one active compound.
[0140] This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions that contain,
as the active
ingredient, one or more of the compounds of the subject invention above
associated with
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In making the compositions of this
invention, the active
ingredient is usually mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or
enclosed within such a
carrier which can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other
container. The excipient
employed is typically an excipient suitable for administration to human
subjects or other
mammals. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-
solid, or liquid
material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active
ingredient. Thus, the
compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets,
cachets, elixirs,
suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid
medium), ointments
containing, for example, up to 10°/~ by weight of the active compound,
soft and hard gelatin
capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged
powders.
[0141] In preparing a formulation, it may be necessary to mill the active
compound to
provide the appropriate particle sire prior to combining with the other
ingredients. If the active
51

CA 02528596 2005-12-07
WO 2005/007665 PCT/US2004/019497
compound is substantially insoluble, it ordinarily is milled to a particle
size of less than 200
mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size
is normally
adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the
formulation, e.g., about
40 mesh.
[0142] Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose,
sucrose, sorbitol,
mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth,
gelatin, calcium
silicate, rnicrocrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose,
sterile water, syrup, and
methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating
agents such as talc,
magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and
suspending agents;
preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening
agents; and
flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to
provide quick,
sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to
the patient by
employing procedures known in the art.
[0143] The quantity of active component, that is the compound according to the
subject
invention, in the pharmaceutical composition and unit dosage form thereof may
be varied or
adjusted widely depending upon the particular application, the potency of the
particular
compound and the desired concentration.
[0144] The compositions are preferably formulated in a unitdosage form, each
dosage
containing from about 5 to about 100 mg, more usually about 10 to about 30 mg,
of the active
ingredient. The term "unit dosage forms" refers to physically discrete units
suitable as unitary
dosages for human subj acts and other mammals, each unit containing a
predetermined quantity
of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in
association with a
suitable pharmaceutical excipient. Preferably, the compound of the subject
invention above is
mnployed at no more than about 20 weight percent of the pharmaceutical
composition, more
preferably no more than about 15 weight percent, with the balance being
pharmaceutically inert
carrier(s).
[~14~] The active compound is effective over a wide dosage range and is
generally
administered in a pharmaceutically or therapeutically effective amount. It
will be understood,
however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will be
determined by a
physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition
to be treated, the
severity of the bacterial infection being treated, the chosen route of
administration, the actual
compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual
patient, the severity of
the patient's symptoms, and the like.
52

CA 02528596 2005-12-07
WO 2005/007665 PCT/US2004/019497
[0146] In therapeutic use for treating, or combating, bacterial infections in
warm-blooded
animals, the compounds or pharmaceutical compositions thereof will be
administered orally,
topically, transdermally, and/or parenterally at a dosage to obtain and
maintain a concentration,
that is, an amount, or blood-level of active component in the animal
undergoing treatment which
will be antibacterially effective. Generally, such antibacterially or
therapeutically effective
amount of dosage of active component (i.e., an effective dosage) will be in
the range of about
0.1 to about 100, more preferably about 1.0 to about 50 mgllcg of body
weight/day.
[0147] For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active
ingredient is
mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation
composition containing a
homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to
these
preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active
ingredient is dispersed
evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily
subdivided into
equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This
solid preformulation
is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above
containing from, for
example, 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present
invention.
[0148] . The tablets or pills of the present invention may be coated or
otherwise compounded
to provide: a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For
example, the tablet
or pill can comprise an inner dosage,and an outer dosage component, the latter
being in the form
of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an
enteric Layer that
serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component
to pass intact into
the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used
for such enteric
layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and
mixtures of
polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose
acetate.
[0~ 4~] The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present
invention may be
incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous
solutions, suitably
Ilavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with
edible oils such as
com oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peaamt oil, as well as
elixirs and similar
pharmaceutical vehicles.
[0150] Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and
suspensions in
pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof,
and powders.
The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically
acceptable excipients as
described supra. Preferably the compositions are administered by the oral or
nasal respiratory
route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in preferably
pharmaceutically acceptable
53

[0171] Another preferred formulation employed in the methods of the present
invention
employs transdermal delivery devices ("patches"). Such transdermal patches may
be used to
provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the compounds of the present
invention in
controlled amounts. The construction and use of transdermal patches for the
delivery of
pharmaceutical agents is well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Patent
5,023,252, issued June 1 l,
1991, herein incorporated by reference. Such patches may be constructed for
continuous,
pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents.
[0172] Frequently, it will be desirable or necessary to introduce the
pharmaceutical
composition to the brain, either directly or indirectly. Direct techniques
usually involve
placement of a drug delivery catheter into the host's ventricular system to
bypass the blood-
brain barrier. ~ne such implantable delivery system used for the transport of
biological factors
to specific anatomical regions of the body is described in IJ.S. Patent
5,011,472 which is herein
incorporated by reference.
[0173] Indirect techniques, which are generally preferred, usually involve
formulating the
compositions to provide for drug latentiation by the conversion of hydrophilic
drugs into lipid-
soluble drugs. Latentiation is generally achieved through blocking of the
hydroxy, carbonyl,
sulfate, and primaxy amine groups present on the drug to render the drug more
lipid soluble and
amenable to transportation across the blood-brain barrier. Alternatively, the
delivery of
57

CA 02528596 2005-12-07
WO 2005/007665 PCT/US2004/019497
hydrophilic drugs may be enhanced by infra-arterial infusion of hypertonic
solutions which can
transiently open the blood-brain barrier.
[0174] Other suitable formulations for use in the present invention can be
found in
Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mace Publishing Company, Philadelphia,
PA, 17th ed.
(1985).
[0175] As noted above, the compounds described herein are suitable for use in
a variety of
drug delivery systems described above. Additionally, in order to enhance the
in vivo serum
half life of the administered compound, the compounds may be encapsulated,
introduced into
the lumen of liposomes, prepared as a colloid, or other conventional
techniques may be
employed which provide an extended serum half life of the compounds. A variety
of methods
are available for preparing liposomes, as described in, e.g., Szoka, et al.,
U.S. Patent Nos.
4,235,871, 4,501,728 and 4,837,028 each of which is incorporated herein by
reference.
[0176] As noted above, the compounds administered to a patient are in the form
of
pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions may be
sterilized by
conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterile filtered. The
resulting aqueous solutions
may be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation
being combined with a
sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. , The pII of the compound
preparations typically
will be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5 to 9 and most preferably from
7 and 8. It will
be understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or
stabilizers will result in
the formation of pharmaceutical salts.
[0177] In general, the compounds of the subject invention will be administered
in a
therapeutically effective amount by any of the accepted modes of
administration for agents that
serve similar utilities. Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such compounds
can be determined
by standard ph~xmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental
animals, e.g., for
determining the LDSO (the dose lethal to 50~/0 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 that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred.
[0178] The data obtained from the cell culture assays and animal studies can
be used in
fornlulating a range of dosage for use in humans. The dosage of such compounds
lies preferably
within a range of circulating concentrations that include the EDSO with little
or no toxicity. The
dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and
the route of
administration utilized. For any compound used in the method of the invention,
the
58

CA 02528596 2005-12-07
WO 2005/007665 PCT/US2004/019497
therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from cell cultuxe
assays. A dose may be
formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration
range which includes
the ICSO (the concentration of the test compound which achieves a half maximal
inhibition of
symptoms) as determined in cell culture. Such information can be used to more
accurately
determine useful doses in humans. Levels in plasma may be measured, for
example, by high
performance liquid chromatography.
Utili
[0179] The compounds, prodrugs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof,
as defined
herein, may have activity against a variety of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and
parasites. By way of
example, the compounds, prodrugs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof
may be active
against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The compounds, prodrugs and
pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be active against a variety of
fungi, including
fungi from the genus Mucor and Candida, e.g., Mucor racemosus or Candida
albicans. The
compounds, prodrugs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be
active against a
variety of parasites, including malaria and cyptosporidium parasite.
[010] The compounds of the subject invention exhibit activity against a
variety of bacterial
infections, including, for example, gram positive infections, gram negative
infections,
mycobacteria infections, mycoplasma infections, and chlamydia infections.
[Ol~l] Since the compounds of the subject invention exhibit potent activities
a variety of
bacteria, such as gram positive bacteria, the compounds of the present
invention are useful
antimicrobial agents and may be effective against a number of human and
veterinary pathogens,
including gram positive bacteria. The Caram positive organisms against which
the compounds of
the present invention are effective include Streptococcus pneumoniae,
Staphylococcus aureus,
Staphylococcus epidennidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium,
~Iaemophilus
influenzae, lVloraxella catarrhalis, Escherichia coli, Bacteroides fragilis,
Bacteroides
thetaiotaomicron, and Clostridium difficile, and the life.
[012] The compounds of the subject invention may be combined with one or more
additional antibacterial agents. One or more of the additional antibacterial
agents may be active
against gram negative bacteria. Additionally, one or more of the additional
antibacterial agents
may be active against gram positive bacteria. The combination of the compounds
of the subject
invention and the one or may additional antibacterial agents may be used to
treat a gram
negative infection. Additionally, the combination of the compouaids of the
subject invention and
59

CA 02528596 2005-12-07
WO 2005/007665 PCT/US2004/019497
the one or more additional antibacterial agents may be used to treat a gram
positive infection.
The combination of compounds of the subject invention and the one or more
additional
antibacterial agents may also be used to treat a mycobacteria infection,
mycoplasma infection, or
chlamydia infection.
[0183] The in vitro activity of compounds of the subject invention may be
assessed by
standard testing procedures such as the determination of minimum inhibitory
concentration
(MIC) by agar dilution as described in "Approved Standard. Methods for
Dilution
Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically," 3rd
ed., published 1993
by the National Conunittee for Clinical Laboratory standards, Villanova,
Pennsylvania, USA.
(0184] The amount administered to the mammalian patient will vary depending
upon what is
being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or
therapy, the state
of the patient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeutic
applications,
compositions are administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in
an amount
sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease
and its complications.
An amount adequate to accomplish this is defined as "therapeutically effective
dose." Amounts
effective for this use will depend on the disease condition being treated as
well as by the
judgment of the attending clinician depending upon faetors such as the
severity of the
inflammation, the age, weight and general condition of the patient, and the
like.
[0185] The compositions administered to a patient are in the form of
pharmaceutical
compositions described above. These compositions may be sterilized by
conventional
sterilization tecluuques, or may be sterile filtered. The resulting aqueous
solutions may be
packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being
combined with a sterile
aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compound preparations
typically will be
between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5 to 9 and most preferably from 7 to ~.
It will be
understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or
stabilizers will result in the
formation of pharmaceutical salts.
[~186] The therapeutic dosage of the compounds of the present invention will
vary
according to, for example, the particular use for which the treatment is made,
the manner of
administration of the compound, the health and condition of the patient, and
the judgment of the
prescribing physician. For example, for intravenous administration, the dose
will typically be in
the range of about 20 mg to about 500 mg per kilogram body weight, preferably
about 100 mg
to about 300 mg per l~ilogram body weight. Suitable dosage ranges for
intranasal
administration are generally about 0.1 mg to 1 mg per kilogram body weight.
Effective doses

carboxylic acid
Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 3:40-48).
Compound Preparation
[0754] Compounds were dissolved in 2°1° Tween 80 for oral dosing
or 0.9°1° NaCI solution
for intravenous dosing. Compounds were administered at 1 hour after bacterial
inoculation..
Vancomycin or ampicillin were used as controls.
Efficacy model
[0755] Male or female ICR mice weighing 222 g from MDS Pharma Services were
used
for the evaluation. Food and water was given ad libitum. Groups of 6 mice
weighing 22 ~ g
were used for the experiment. Mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with
Staphylococcus
aureus Smith at 4~ 104 CFLT in 0.5 mL of Brain heart Infusion Broth (Difco)
containing 5°~~
mucin (Sigma). Mortality was recorded once daily for 7 days following
bacterial inoculation.
[~756] While the invention has been described and illustrated herein by
references to various
specific material, procedures and examples, it is understood that the
invention is not restricted to
the particular material combinations of material, and procedures selected for
that purpose.
Numerous variations of such details can be implied as will be appreciated by

Example C ,
In vivo animal model
[0757] In vivo activity of various compounds of the subject invention was
evaluated in a
standard Staphylococcus aureus septicemia model (MDS Pharma Services, Bothell,
WA).
[0758] Male ICR-derived mice (ICR is a strain of out-bred mice) provided by
MDS Pharma
Services animal breeding center were inoculated intraperitonealy with LD9o-ioo
of
Staphylococcus aureus (Smith; ATCC19636) in O.SmL BHI broth containing 5%
mucin
(Sigma). Compounds were formulated in 2% Tween 80 (Sigma) and single doses
were
administered orally one hour after bacterial inoculation. Mortality was
monitored daily for
seven days.
[0759] In previous studies, the oral EDso (i.e., concentration that protected
50% of the mice)
was determined to be 19.9 mg/kg for clindamycin, a commercially available
lincosamide
(Sigma). To screen the compounds of this invention that were tested, compounds
were
administered at 10 mg/kg to a group of eight ICR mice and the number of
survivors at that
concentration was compared to clindamycin. Results are presented in the table
below.
Compound Tested No. of surviving mice
(Indicated by at 10 mg/kg
Example No.)
Clindamycin 6
17 1
34 2
35 2
36 0
100 7
101 7
It is assumed that when compound from example 36 is tested at a higher dose,
the
number of surviving mice would increase.
