Ranbezolid is a novel oxazolidinone antibacterial. It competitively inhibits monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A).^[1]

Infections due to Gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae(PRSP) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in hospital settings and community today. Oxazolidinones are a new class of totally synthetic antibacterial agents active against Gram-positive infections. Linezolid (Zyvox™, Pharmacia/Pfizer, is a drug in this class, approved in the United States and Europe for treatment of Gram-positive nosocomial and community-acquired pneumoniae and skin infections. Oxazolidinones inhibit the bacterial protein synthesis prior to the chain initiation step, by binding to the 23S rRNA of 50S ribosomal subunit, and interfering with the initiator fMet–tRNA binding to the P-site of the ribosomal peptidyltransferase centre

synthesis

The antibacterial activity of RBx-7644 is due to the 5(S)-acetamidomethyl configuration at the oxazolidinone ring, and thus, asymmetric synthesis of only the 5(S)-enantiomer was desirable: 3,4-Difluoronitrobenzene (I) is condensed with piperazine in acetonitrile to give 4-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)-piperazine (II) as a light yellow compound. Compound (II) is dissolved in dichloromethane and triethylamine, followed by the addition of Boc-anhydride, to provide compound (III). 4-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-1-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)piperazine (III), upon hydrogenation with H2 over Pd/C in methanol at 50 psi, yields 4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1-(2-fluoro-4-aminophenyl)piperazine (IV) as a dark solid. Compound (IV) reacts with benzylchloroformate in dry THF in the presence of solid sodium bicarbonate to afford the desired compound (V). 4-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-1-[2-fluoro-4-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)phenyl]piperazine (V), upon treatment with n-BuLi and (R)-glycidyl butyrate at -78 癈, gives the desired (R)-(-)-3-[3-fluoro-4-[4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl]phenyl]-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-oxazolidinone (VI). The hydroxymethyl compound (VI) is treated with methanesulfonyl chloride in dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine to give (R)-(-)-3-[3-fluoro-4-[4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl]phenyl]-5-(methylsulfonyloxymethyl)-2-oxazolidinone (VII). The sulfonyl derivative (VII) is treated with sodium azide in dimethylformamide to provide the azide (VIII) as a white solid. (R)-(-)-3-[3-Fluoro-4-[4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperazin-1-yl)phenyl]-5-(azidomethyl)-2-oxazolidinone (VIII), upon hydrogenation with H2 over Pd/C at 45 psi, gives (S)-(-)-3-[3-fluoro-4-[4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-piperazin-1-yl]phenyl]-5-(aminomethyl)-2-oxazolidinone (IX). The aminomethyl compound (IX), upon treatment with acetic anhydride in dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine, affords the acetamide derivative (X). The acetamidomethyl-oxazolidinone derivative (X), upon treatment with trifluoroacetic acid, gives (S)-(-)-3-[3-fluoro-4-(1-piperazinyl)phenyl]-5-(acetamidomethyl)-2-oxazolidinone, which, without isolation, is treated with 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde in the presence of sodium triacetoxy borohydride to provide compound (XI). Compound (XI), upon treatment with ethanolic HCl, affords RBx-7644 as a light yellow crystalline solid.

Graphical abstract

Novel oxazolidinones were synthesized containing a number of substituted five-membered heterocycles attached to the ‘piperazinyl–phenyl–oxazolidinone’ core of eperezolid. Further, the piperazine ring of the core was replaced by other diamino-heterocycles. These modifications led to several compounds with potent activity against a spectrum of resistant and susceptible Gram-positive organisms, along with the identification of ranbezolid (RBx 7644) as a clinical candidate.

Substitution of five-membered heterocycles on to the ‘piperazinyl–phenyl–oxazolidinone’ core structure led to the identification of ranbezolid as a clinical candidate. Further replacement of piperazine ring with other diamino-heterocycles led to compounds with potent antibacterial activity.

EXAMPLE Preparation of 4-(4-benzyloxy-carbonylamino-2-fluorophenyl -piperazine- 1 – carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester of Formula I

Piperazine (0.77 mol, 66.2 g) was mixed with toluene (500 mL) and stirred at room temperature and subsequently stirred at 50 °C until a homogenous solution was obtained. 1,2- difluoro-4-nitrobenzene (0.314 mol, 50 g) was added to the piperazine/toluene solution and the reaction mixture was stirred at 80-90 °C for 3-6 hours.

The reaction mixture then was cooled to 40-45 °C and diluted with deionized water. The organic layer was separated and about 250-350 mL of toluene was evaporated off under reduced pressure at 40 °C. Di-tert- butoxycarbonyl anhydride (0.334mol, 75 g) was then added dropwise to the reaction mixture at room temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1-2 hours and then further diluted with hexane (200 mL) and stirred for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

The solid product formed in the reaction mixture was filtered, washed with hexane (150 mL), and dried under reduced pressure at 60-70°C to yield 4-(2-fluoro-4- nitrophenyl)-piperazine- 1-carboxylic acid tert butyl ester of Formula III. Yield = 1.8-1.9 (w\w); Purity = 96-98% by HPLC.

The compound of Formula III (0.246 mol, 80 g) was added to toluene (800 mL) followed by the addition of palladium on carbon (4 g) at room temperature with continuous stirring. Hydrogen gas was bubbled into the resulting reaction mixture at a pressure of 72 psi. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12-16 hours and then diluted with toluene (150 mL). The reaction mixture was filtered through a celite pad and washed with toluene (200 mL).

Sodium bicarbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture at room temperature with continuous stirring. Benzyl chloroformate (0.310 mol, 103 g) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture with continuous stirring for 2-3 hours. Ethyl acetate (1600 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and stirred for about 30 minutes followed by addition of deionized water (400 mL). The organic layer was separated and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The semi-solid product was washed with hexane (350 mL) to obtain 4-(4-benzyloxy- carbonylamino-2-fluorophenyl)-piperazine- 1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester of Formula I as a solid. Yield = 1.16-1.23 (w/w); Purity = 97-99% by HPLC.

heat nanoparticles Gold Nanoparticles Made to Heat Up from Near Infrared Light for Tumor Killing

Gold has been a popular material to make nanoparticles because of its biocompatibility, but to get it to do some neat tricks isn’t enough to simply produce spherical gold nanoparticles. One limitation in using gold for killing tumors has been that cheap spherical gold nanoparticles are not plasmonic to near-infrared light, meaning they don’t heat up when such light illuminates them. Making gold nanoparticles plasmonic requires forming shapes out of the element that have been expensive to produce. Researchers at ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich) have developed a new technique for cheap manufacturing of different shapes of plasmonic gold-based nanoparticles that may open new possibilities for cancer treatment.

Instead of creating new shapes purely out of gold, a difficult process, the team instead arranged readily available spherical gold nanoparticles coated with silicon dioxide into plasmonic shapes. The silicon dioxide works like a spacer, keeping the gold spheres at predefined distances…

Sutezolid (PNU-100480, PF-02341272) is an oxazolidinone antibiotic currently in development as a treatment for extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Rapid evaluation in whole blood culture of regimens for XDR-TB containing PNU-100480 (sutezolid), TMC207, PA-824, SQ109, and pyrazinamide

Sutezolid, an antimicrobial oxazolidinone and the thiomorpholine analogue of linezolid, had been in early clinical development for the treatment of tuberculosis. However, development was discontinued.

The compound had been found to be active against Gram-positive bacteria such as multiresistant staphylococci, streptococci and enterococci. It was being developed by Pfizer. In 2011, orphan drug designation was assigned in the U.S. and the E.U. for the treatment of tuberculosis.

In 2013, Sequella acquired an exclusive worldwide license for the development and commercialization of sustezolid.

Scheme 1 illustrates a general synthetic sequence for preparing compounds of the present invention.

Example 3 Preparation of (5S)-5-{[(4-chlorobenzylidene)amino]methyl}-3-(3-fluoro-4-thiomorpholin-4-ylphenyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one

The title compound in Example 2 (194 g, 0.56 mole), and the title compound of Example 1 (195 g, 0.84 mole), and lithium tert-butoxide (116 g, 1.4 mole) were charged into a 3000 mL three neck round bottom flask under nitrogen. The reactants were slurried with methyl tert-butyl ether (1200 mL) and the mixture was warmed to 56° C. and stirred for 2 h as a yellow solid gradually formed. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, and diluted with 1200 mL water. The mixture was then stirred vigorously over 60 min as the solid changed from dark yellow to a more pale yellow solid. The mixture was cooled to 10° C., filtered, and the filter cake was washed with ice cold methyl tert-butyl ether (450 mL). The resulting light yellow solid was dried in air for 30 min, then placed in a vacuum oven and dried at 40° C. overnight to afford the title compound (243 g, 99% yield). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ 2.8 (m, 4H), 3.2 (m, 4H), 3.9 (m, 2H), 4.1 (m, 2H), 5.0 (m, 1H), 6.9 (m, 1H), 7.2 (m, 1H), 7.4 (m, 3H), 7.6 (m, 2H), 8.4 (s, 1H).

Example 4 Preparation of N-{[(5S)-3-(3-fluoro-4-thiomorpholin-4-ylphenyl)-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl]methyl}acetamide

The title compound in Example 3 (243 g, 0.56 mole) was combined with EtOAc (1300 mL) and water (1300 mL) in a 5000 mL three neck round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer. The mixture was treated drop-wise with 12N HCl (140 mL, 1.68 moles) and the mixture was stirred vigorously for 1 hour at room temperature. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was washed with EtOAc (1×500 mL). The resulting aqueous solution containing (S)-5-(aminomethyl)-3-(3-fluoro-4-thiomorpholinophenyl)oxazolidin-2-one hydrochloride was combined with a mixture of dichloromethane (1800 mL) and MeOH (120 mL), and the vigorously stirred mixture was charged with acetic anhydride (132 mL, 1.4 mole) in one portion and subsequently treated drop-wise with 10 N NaOH (200 mL, 2.0 mole) over 15 min. An extremely thick reaction mixture resulted from addition of the base, which gradually thinned as the pH rose and the acylation rapidly progressed. The reaction was stirred vigorously for 1 hour after the mixture resolved to two phases. At that time, 10 M NaOH (160 mL, 1.6 mole) was added drop-wise to the mixture until the pH was stable at 7. The layers were separated, the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (250 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate. The volatiles were removed in vacuo to give an off-white solid which was titrated with methyl tert-butyl ether (250 mL), collected, and dried in vacuo to give title compound (5) (186.1 g, 94% yield) as a fine white solid with greater than 98% HPLC purity (retention time=3.93 minutes, HPLC conditions reported below).

The crude solid was dissolved in warm 6% methanol in dichloromethane (1250 mL) in a 5000 mL three neck round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer. The solution was warmed to reflux, diluted by the portion-wise (500 mL) addition of 2500 mL isopropanol (IPA), and, in order to maintain reflux, the temperature was ramped to 50-70° C. On completion of this addition of IPA, the reflux condenser was replaced with a short-path distillation head and distillation was continued into a cooled flask. During distillation, a 500 mL portion of fresh IPA was added after 500 mL of distillate was collected to maintain between 2000 and 2500 mL IPA present at all times. After this addition (internal flask temperature dropped to 60° C.) the mixture became slightly cloudy and remained so for the balance of the distillation, becoming increasingly cloudy as the distillate temperature exceeded 70° C.; particulate matter appeared as the distillate temperature exceeded 75° C. The temperature controller was ramped to 85° C. and held there until the conclusion of the distillation. When the distillate was clearly isopropanol alone (82-83° C.) the volume was reduced to 2500 mL hot IPA, the heating mantle was removed, stirring was discontinued, and the paddle was removed from the flask. The mixture was allowed to continue to crystallize as the flask cooled. The white crystalline solid was then collected by filtration, washed with methyl tert-butyl ether (250 mL), and dried in vacuo at 40° C. to afford 180 g (91% yield) of the title compound in greater than 99% HPLC purity (retention time=3.93 minutes, HPLC conditions reported below). ¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆): δ 1.8 (s, 3H), 2.7 (m, 4H), 3.2 (m, 4H), 3.4 (m, 2H), 3.7 (m, 1H), 4.7 (m, 1H), 7.1 (m, 1H), 7.15 (m, 1H), 7.2 (m, 1H), 8.2 (m, 1H).

(S)-N-[[3-[3-Fluoro-4-(4-thiomorpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5–oxazolidinyl]methyl]acetamide (6, U-100480). A solution of (R)-[3-[3-fluoro-4-(4-thiomorpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl azide (19.662 g, 58.28 mmol) in dry THF (290 mL) was treated with triphenylphosphine (16.815 g, 64.11 mmol) over 10 min. After 2.0 h, TLC analysis (10% MeOH/CHCl₃) revealed the conversion to iminophosphorane was complete. H₂O (2.10 mL, 116.56 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture heated to 40 °C (internal temperature) for 5 h and then allowed to cool to ambient temperature overnight. At this point, TLC analysis (10% MeOH/CHCl₃) indicated incomplete hydrolysis of the iminophosphorane intermediate. More H₂O (8.40 mL) was added, and the reaction was heated to 40 °C for 5 h. At this time, TLC indicated complete conversion to the 5-(aminomethyl)oxazolidinone intermediate. The reaction mixture was first concentrated by rotary evaporation (benzene was added several times to azeotrope off the H₂O) and then under high vacuum to give the crude amine as an off-white solid. This material was dissolved in CH₂Cl₂ (250 mL), treated with pyridine (46.099 g, 47.10 mL, 582.79 mmol) and acetic anhydride (29.749 g, 27.49 mL, 291.40 mmol), and then stirred overnight at ambient temperature. TLC analysis (10% MeOH/CHCl₃) showed complete conversion to 6. The reaction mixture was diluted with CH₂Cl₂, transferred to a separatory funnel, and then washed with 1 N HCl until the washings were acidic. The organic layer was then washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO₃ and brine, dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give crude 6 (U-100480) as a cream-colored solid. The crude product was triturated with hot CHCl₃; most but not all of the solids dissolved. After cooling to ambient temperature, the solids were filtered off (cold CHCl₃ wash) and dried in vacuo to furnish 13.174 g of analytically pure title compound as a white solid. A second crop of 3.478 g, also analytically pure, afforded a combined yield of 81%:

Molecular Formula: C₁₈H₂₃FN₄O₅

Molecular Weight: 394.397423

(S)-N-[[3-[3-Fluoro-4-[4-(2-hydroxyacetyl)piperazin-1-yl]phenyl]-2-oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl]methyl]acetamide

(S)-N-[[3-[3-fluoro-4-[4-(hydroxyacetyl)-l-piperazinyl]- phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl]acetamide

Oxazolidinones are a new class of Gram-positive antibacterial agents which are known to those skilled in the art, see for example US 5,688,792. (S)-N-[[3-[3- fluoro-4-(4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-2-oxo-5-oxazolidinyl]methyl]acetamide, known as linezolid, the compound of Example 5 of US Patent 5,688,792 is known and has the following chemical formula:

(S)-N-[[3-[3-fluoro-4-[4-(hydroxyacetyl)-l-piperazinyl]-phenyl]-2-oxo-5- oxazolidinyl]methyl]acetamide, known as eperezolid, the compound of

Example 8 of US Patent 5,837,870 is known and has the following chemical formula:

Linezolid and eperezolid can be produced by the processes set forth in US Patents 5,688,791 and 5,837,870 as well as that of International Publication WO99/24393. It is preferably produced by the process of US Patent 5,837,870.

It is preferred that the linezolid produced be used in crystal form π, which has the characteristics set forth in CHART A. Once linezolid is synthesized, crystal Form π is prepared by starting with linezolid of high enantiomeric purity. It is preferred that the linezolid be more than 98% enantiomerically pure, it is more preferred that the linezolid be more than 99% pure and it is even more preferred that the linezolid be 99.5% pure. The linezolid of greater than 98% enantiomeric purity to be used to form crystal form II can either be in solution or be a solid. The linezolid starting material, solid or solution, is mixed with a solvent selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula: water, acetonitrile, chloroform, methylene chloride, R OH where R_\ is Cι-C₆ alkyl; Rι-CO-R₂ where R₂ is Cι-C alkyl and Ri is as defined above; phenyl substituted with 1 thru 3 Ri where Ri is as defined above; Rι-CO-O-R₂ where Ri is -C alkyl and Ri is as defined above; Rι-O-R₂ where

is Cι-C₆ alkyl and Ri is as defined above. It is preferred that the solvent be selected from the group consisting of water, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, acetonitrile, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, chloroform, methylene chloride, toluene, xylene, diethyl ether, or methyl-t-butyl ether. It is more preferred that the solvent be ethyl acetate, acetone, acetonitrile, propanol, or isopropanol. It is most preferred that the solvent be ethyl acetate. The mixture of linezolid in the solvent is agitated at a temperature below 80° until crystals of Form II are formed and crystals of other solid forms, such as Form I, disappear. It is preferred to dissolve the linezolid in ethyl acetate at a temperature near the boiling point of the solvent. This mixture is cooled to a temperature of about 70°. The mixture may be seeded with crystals of Form II to facilitate crystallization. It is preferred that the solid product is cooled and agitated at a temperature between about 45° and about 60° until the solids consist only of Form II crystals. It is most preferred to maintain the slurry at a temperature of about 55°. It is preferred to mix the linezolid and solvent for at least 10 min, it is even more preferred to mix the linezolid and solvent for at least 20 min and it is most preferred to mix the linezolid and solvent for at least 30 min. The time and temperature will vary depending on the solvent selected. With ethyl acetate it is preferred to mix for not less that 60 minutes. The crystalline slurry may be further cooled to improve yield, and the solid Form II product may be isolated. The mixture may be further cooled and agitated. Other measures which can be used to facilitate crystallization include, but are not limited to, cooling, concentration of the solution by evaporation or distillation, or through addition of other solvents. The crystals are isolated by procedures known to those skilled in the art.

It is well known to those skilled in the art that the oxazolidinones are useful as anti-bacterial agents especially against Gram-positive organisms. US Patent 5,688,792 discloses that oxazolidinones can be administered IV. The preferred formulation for linezolid IV solution is: Linezolid 2.0 mg mL

Sodium Citrate Dihydrate (USP) 1.64 mg/mL

Citric Acid Anhydrous (USP) 0.85 mg/mL

Dextrose Monohydrate (USP) 50.24 mg/mL

Hydrochloric Acid ( 10%) q.s. to pH 4.8 (pH 4.6 to 5.0) Sodium hydroxide (10%) q.s. to pH 4.8 (pH 4.6 to 5.0)

Water for Injection (USP) q.s. ad 1.0 mL

The linezolid IV solution is formulated by heating water for injection from about 50 to about 65°. Next the sodium citrate, citric acid and dextrose are added and stirred until dissolved. An aqueous slurry of linezolid is added to the previous mixture and stirred until dissolved. The mixture is cooled to 25° with stirring. The pH is measured and adjusted if necessary. Last the mixture is brought to volume, if necessary, with water for injection. The mixture is filtered, filled into infusion containers, over wrapped and terminally moist heat sterilized.

The aqueous solution for IV administration can be placed in the container which is selected from the group consisting of a bag, a bottle, a vial, a large volume parenteral, a small volume parenteral, a prefilled syringe and a cassette. It is realized that a vial is a bottle. However, those skilled in the art use the term “bottle” to refers to larger bottles and “vials” to refer to smaller bottles. It is preferred that the container be a bag, a bottle, a vial or a prefilled syringe. It is more preferred that the container be a bag or bottle. It is most preferred that the container be a bag. The shape and/or size of the container is unimportant. It is preferred that the container be a bag sufficient to hold 25 to 2,000 mL of IV solution. It is preferred that the linezolid mixture be put in bags in amounts of 100, 200 or 300 mL of solution however smaller or larger volumes are acceptable.

After 40 minutes, at which time TLC and HPLC analysis indicated complete formation of the acetoxyacetamide intermediate, the mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure to 30 1, diluted with methanol (100 1) and concentrated to 30 1. To the residue is added methanol (25 1) and an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate (5.6 kg in 56 1). The resulting mixture is stirred 20 hr at 22-25° at which time TLC and HPLC analysis indicates the reaction is complete. The pH is adjusted to 7-7.5 with hydrochloric acid (4 N, 14.3 1). The mixture is stirred 18 hr at 15-22° then 3 hrs at 2-5°. The soHds are collected on a filter, washed with water (68 1) and dried at 20-25° with recycled nitrogen to give the desired product. The crude product is dissolved in water (225 1) at 60-70°, clarified through a 0.6 micron filter, diluted with water rinse (55 1) and stirred 17 hrs. at 15°. The solids are collected on a filter, washed with water at 15° and dried at 45° with recycled nitrogen to a water content of 0.33%. These soHds are dissolved in a solution of ethyl acetate (143 1), methanol (65 1) and water (1.95 1) at 60-65°. The solution is cooled to 15-25° and stirred 16 hrs for crystallization. The soHds are coUected on a filter, washed with ethyl acetate (75 1) and dried with 45° nitrogen to give the desired product. The product is recrystallized two more times from water (147 1 then 133 1) at 60-70°, clarified each time through a 0.6 micron filter and rinsed with water (40 1 and 30 1). The soHds are dried on the filter at 30° with recycled nitrogen to give, after deagglomeration through a mill, the title compound as the sesquihydrate (6.45% water), TLC (siHca gel; methanol/methylene chloride, 5/95) Rf = 0.45; [α]_D = -20° (c = 1.0, ethanol).

Graphical Abstract

Highlights

► This review presents anti-tuberculosis compounds currently in clinical trials. ► Promising strategies in preclinical development are described. ► The chemical synthesis, target and mechanism of action are highlighted. ► Activities observed in preclinical and clinical studies are reported.

Tuberculosis is a major disease causing every year 1.8 million deaths worldwide and represents the leading cause of mortality resulting from a bacterial infection. Introduction in the 60’s of first-line drug regimen resulted in the control of the disease and TB was perceived as defeating. However, since the progression of HIV leading to co-infection with AIDS and the emergence of drug resistant strains, the need of new anti-tuberculosis drugs was not overstated. However in the past 40 years any new molecule did succeed in reaching the market. Today, the pipeline of potential new treatments has been fulfilled with several compounds in clinical trials or preclinical development with promising activities against sensitive and resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Compounds as gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, metronidazole or linezolid already used against other bacterial infections are currently evaluated in clinical phases 2 or 3 for treating tuberculosis. In addition, analogues of known TB drugs (PA-824, OPC-67683, PNU-100480, AZD5847, SQ609, SQ109, DC-159a) and new chemical entities (TMC207, BTZ043, DNB1, BDM31343) are under development. In this review, we report the chemical synthesis, mode of action when known, in vitro and in vivo activities and clinical data of all current small molecules targeting tuberculosis.

Select innovative steps pertaining to the particular utility of Scheme 4 for an efficient synthesis and production of the compounds of formula I (illustrated by structure 26 in the Scheme 4) are summarized in paragraphs (i-iv) below:

i) The novel efficient method for an installation of the dihydropyridone ring into an ortho-F compound of formula I provided herein involve the use of an alkoxide (e.g, methoxide) capture reagent (e.g., 2,3,4,5-tetrafluoronitrobenzene). The dihydropyri done-forming step for a transformation of the compounds 19 to compounds 20 performed in absence of the methoxide-capture reagent(s) is accompanied by formation of the hard-to-remove ort/zo-methoxy impurity (e.g., l-(2,6-difluoro-3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-2,3-dihydropyridone) resulted from undesired substitution of ortho-F atom with MeOH, AIkOH, or anion thereof. This is a serious problem specific for the synthesis of ortho-F dihydropyridone compounds, arising from the unique reactivity of ortho-F substrates 19 and may not be encountered in synthesis of des-ortho-F compounds lacking the key ortho-F substitution. The methods disclosed herein involve the use of a methoxide-capture nitrobenzene additive to eliminate or minimize above methoxy-aryl by-product to allow for a high-yielding preparation and manufacture of precursors 19 and compounds of formula I, with a purity suitable for pharmaceutical applications (generally, better than 90-95%). Additional MeO-capture additives may include acylating, alkylating, or arylating agents (e.g., carboxylic acid anhydride or an active ester capable of methoxide acylation). Optionally, one or more alkoxide-capture reagent(s), or a combination thereof can be used.

ii) New practical method for the key oxazolidinone-forming step (from

22 to 23) provided herin involves the use of an alkali metal alkoxide (e.g., LiOBu- 1) instead of the conventionally used BuLi (as more generally described, e.g., in J. Med. Chem., 1988, vol. 41, pp. 3727-3735). The procedure provided herein thus eliminates the use of a highly flammable and unstable organometallic chemical. Moreover, the new processes provided herein also eliminates the need for costly cryogenic (-78 ⁰C) conditions impractical for the industrial manufacture of the reagents 23 and of the compounds of formula I. [00111] iii) Novel process for the preparation of 5-[(isoxazole-3-yl)amino]methyl derivatives 25 that employs an alkali metal alkoxide ( e.g., KOBu-t) in place of previously used NaH (as more generally described, e.g., in International Patent Publication No. WO 00/21960, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). This eliminates the use of an extremely flammable base and allows for an efficient preparation and manufacture of the precursors 25 and the compounds of formula I.

iv) New practical method for the synthesis of the compounds of formula I

(Ri = (isoxazole-3-yl)amino; structure 26 in Scheme 4) employing aq. HCl – organic solvent(s) system for deprotection of acid-cleavable protective groups (PG; e.g., PG = tert-butoxycarbonyl or Boc group). The method provided herein eliminates the use of highly toxic and expensive reagents conventionally employed for des-ortho-F 1-phenyldihydropyridone compounds (the method as described, for example, in International Patent Publication No. WO 2004/033449, advocating the use of trifluoroacetic acid and 1 ,2-dichloroethane Boc-deprotection system). The efficiency of the new deprotection method invented herein is particularly surprising in view of the fact that enamino ketones (such as dihydropyridones) are generally degradable by a strong aqueous acids, such as aq. HCl (as more generally described, e.g., by Katritzky et al. in J. Chem. Research, Miniprint, 1980, pp. 3337-3360).

Moringa Oleifera Kills 97% of Pancreatic Cancer Cells in Vitro

April 1, 2014 3:26 am / 10 Comments on Moringa Oleifera Kills 9710 of Pancreatic Cancer Cells in Vitro

Moringa Oleifera Kills 97% of Pancreatic Cancer Cells in Vitro:

A hot-water extract of moringa leaves was shown to kill up to 97% of human pancreatic cancer cells (Panc-1) after 72 hours in this study. Moringa, also called the “miracle tree,” has a long history of use in traditional and Ayurvedic medicine due to its many beneficial properties as an anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, antidepressant, anti-diabetes, pain and fever reducer and even relief from asthma. But it also contains numerous powerful anti-cancer compounds such as kaempferol, rhamnetin, isoquercetin and others.

Latest research is now proving out moringa’s anti-cancer potential with positive results so far against ovarian cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma. Moringa is now extensively cultivated throughout Southeast Asia, Oceania, the Caribbean and Central America, but the largest crop in the world is produced by India – where it grows natively.

That may be one reason why the death rate from pancreatic cancer in India is a stunning 84% lower than in the United States.

Posizolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic under investigation by AstraZeneca for the treatment of bacterial infections. At a concentration of 2 mg/L it inhibited 98% of all Gram-positive bacteria tested in vitro.^[1]

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtu), which in 1990 was declared a global epidemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO). It affects more than one third of the world’s population resulting in 8 million new patients and 2 million deaths every year. Also there exists a scenario called “Latent TB”, which occurs when germs remain in the body in a quiescent state but without any apparent effect on the health of the individual. In many cases this stage may last for many years or decades. In case of normal human being the chance of activation is 2-23% in a lifetime. However in case of immuno-compromised patients (like HIV) the chances of activation rise to 10% every year.

The current treatment of drug sensitive tuberculosis is at least six months long and requires a combination of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol in the first two months followed by isoniazid and rifampicin for a period of four months. In recent years, drug resistance to these drugs has increased and the last of drugs for tuberculosis was introduced into clinical practice in the late 1960’s. The evolution of resistance could result in strains against which currently available antitubercular agents will be ineffective and treatment in such cases may last two years with no guarantee of cure. So there is an urgent need to introduce new drugs particularly those with either a novel mechanism of action and/or containing new pharmacophoric groups and new treatment regimens to overcome not only rising drug resistance but also improve the overall treatment duration.

R. Sood et al (Infectious Disorders—Drug Targets 2006, 343-354) report that “Oxazolidinones are a new class of totally synthetic antibacterial agents with wide spectrum of activity against a variety of clinically significant susceptible and resistant bacteria. These compounds have been shown to inhibit translation at the initiation phase of protein synthesis. DuP-721, the first oxazolidinone showed good activity against M. tuberculosis when given orally or parenterally to experimental animals but was not developed further due to lethal toxicity in animal models. Later two oxazolidinones, PNU-100480 and Linezolid, demonstrated promising antimycobacterial activities in the murine model. While Linezolid has been approved for clinical use for broad spectrum area, PNU-100840 was not developed further. DA-7867 showed good in vitro and better in vivo efficacy than Linezolid but was poorly tolerated in rat toxicology studies. The antimycobacterial activity of AZD2563 has not been explored. RBx 7644 had modest antimycobacterial activity whilst RBx 8700 has potent antibacterial and concentration dependent activity against all slow growing mycobacteria. It demonstrated better activity than RBx 7644 against MDR strains of M. tuberculosis along with intracellular activity”.

In published patent application WO-99/64417 we disclose the compound

ie. (5R)-3-[4-[1-[(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropanoyl]-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-4-yl]-3,5-difluoro-phenyl]-5-(isoxazol-3-yloxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one also known as AZD2563. As reported by R. Sood et al (op cit) the antimycobacterial activity of AZD2563 has not been explored.

In a first aspect of the invention we now provide (5R)-3-[4-[1-[(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropanoyl]-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-4-yl]-3,5-difluoro-phenyl]-5-(isoxazol-3-yloxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, or an in-vivo-hydrolysable ester thereof, for use in the treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

The condensation of the protected 3,5-difluoroaniline (I) with 1-benzyl-4-piperidone (II) by means of BuLi in THF gives 4-(1-benzyl-4-hydroxypiperidin-4-yl)-3,5-difluoroaniline (III), which is dehydrated with refluxing conc. HCl to yield the tetrahydropyridine (IV). The reaction of (IV) with benzyl chloroformate in acetone/water affords the carbamate (V), which is cyclized with (R)-glycidyl butyrate (VI) by means of BuLi in THF to provide the oxazolidinone (VII). The condensation of (VII) with isoxazol-3-ol (VIII) by means of PPh3 and DIAD in THF gives the expected ether adduct (IX), which is debenzylated by reaction with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate in dichloromethane, yielding the free tetrahydropyridine derivative (X). The condensation of (X) with (S)-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceric acid (XI) by means of DEC or DCC and TEA in dichloromethane affords the corresponding acyl tetrahydropyridine (XII), which is finally deprotected with HCl in THF to provide the target dihydroxy compound.

Rib-X Pharmaceuticals has completed two Phase II clinical trials of radezolid for the treatment of pneumonia and uncomplicated skin infections. The trial completion dates were in 2008 and 2009, but to date the Phase III trials have not been initiated [1-6].

Radezolid (INN, codenamed RX-1741) is a novel oxazolidinone antibiotic being developed by Rib-X Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the treatment of serious multi-drug–resistant infections. Radezolid has completed two phase-II clinical trials. One of these clinical trials was for uncomplicated skin and skin-structure infections (uSSSI) and the other clinical trial was for community acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Oxazolidinone antibiotics are a relatively new class of antibacterial agents with activity against a broad spectrum of gram-positive pathogens. The first member of this new class to be commercialized, linezolid, was approved in 2000. Since that time the development of linezolid resistant organisms has prompted efforts to discover more effective members of the oxazolidinone class.

A new family of biaryl oxazolidinone antibacterials with activity against both linezolid-susceptible and -resistant Gram-positive bacteria, as well as certain Gram-negative bacteria has been reported (see Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2008, 18, 6175-6178, and PCT Patent Publication WO 2005/019211).

Among the known biaryloxazolidinones is N-[3-(2-fluoro-4′-{[(1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-methyl}-bipheny- l-4-yl)-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl]-acetamide, more commonly known as radezolid (RX-1741), currently being developed for multi-drug-resistant infections.

Although a monohydrochloride salt of radezolid was disclosed in PCT Patent Publication WO 2006/133397, there is a continuing need for new salts and polymorphs thereof having improved properties such as solubility to optimize bioavailability on therapeutic administration.

Synthesis 1

http://www.google.co.il/patents/WO2005019211A2?hl=iw&cl=en

Scheme A

Scheme B illustrates the synthesis of intermediates 7 and 8 of the present invention using Suzuki coupling chemistry between boronic acids and aryl triflates. Boronic ester 6 is treated with an appropriate aryl triflate to yield the BOC-protected biaryl 7. The BOC group of 7 is removed to provide amine 8, an intermediate useful in the synthesis of certain compounds of the present invention.

Scheme B

8, R = NH₂-HCI Scheme C depicts the synthesis of intermediates 9-13, which are useful in producing certain methoxy-substituted biaryl derivatives of the present invention. Suzuki coupling of boronic ester 6 produces biaryl aldehyde 9, which can be reduced to alcohol 10. Mesylation of 10 yields 11 that can be converted to azide 12. Reduction of azide 12 yields amine 13.

Scheme C

Scheme D depicts the synthesis of pyridyl intermediates, which are useful for the synthesis of compounds of the present invention, via similar chemistry to that shown in Scheme C. Coupling of boronic ester 6 to a halopyridine aldehyde produces biaryl aldehyde 14. Aldehyde 14 serves as the precursor to intermediates 15-18 via chemistry described above.

Scheme D

Biaryl aldehyde 19 (Scheme E) can be synthesized from a Suzuki coupling of iodide 1 and 4-formylphenylboronic acid. Scheme E illustrates how intermediate aldehydes of type 19, 9, and 14 can be converted via reductive amination chemistry to other amines, such as amines 20-22, which are useful as intermediates for the synthesis of certain compounds of the invention.

Scheme E

Scheme F depicts the general synthesis of compounds of type la and lb from amines of type 5, 13, 18, and 20-22. Compounds of type la and lb are synthesized via acylation of amines 5, 13 and 18 and 20-22 with the appropriate acids using, for example, l-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) as the coupling agent. Compounds 4001-4007 were specifically synthesized from amine 5 and the appropriate carboxylic acids. Scheme F

Scheme G highlights the synthesis of compounds of general structure II from amines of type 5 and 18. The amine can be acylated with carboxylic acids using EDCI (or other commonly employed peptide coupling reagents known in the art) to afford amides II.

Acid chlorides can be purchased or synthesized and allowed to react with amines 5 and 18, in the presence of bases such as triethylamine, to also produce amides II.

Alternatively, carboxylic acids can be pre-loaded onto a solid polymeric support, such as a tetrafluorophenol containing resin (TFP resin), and reacted with amines to yield amide products of general structure II (such as compounds 4008-4015).

Scheme G

Scheme H illustrates the synthesis of compounds of general structure Ilia from amines of type 5, 13, and 18 using reductive amination chemistry. For example, biaryl amine compounds 4016-4028 are synthesized in this manner. Scheme H

Scheme I depicts the synthesis of general structure Illb of the present invention from amine intermediate 8. For example, compounds 4029-4031 are synthesized using this reductive amination chemistry.

Scheme I

Scheme J shows the synthesis of compounds of general structure IVa and IVb. Amines 20, 21, and 22 can be converted to tertiary amines IVa, such as compounds 4032-4034 and 4036, using standard reductive amination chemistry employed earlier for other derivatives.

This reductive amination chemistry can be employed on biaryl aldehyde intermediates such as 19, 9, and 14 to yield optionally substituted amines of general structure IVb, illustrated by compound 4037.

Scheme J

producing compounds of the present invention. Known iodoaryl oxazolidinone intermediate 50 (see U.S. Patent Nos. 5,523,403 and 5,565,571) is coupled to a substituted aryl boronic acid (the Suzuki reaction) to produce biaryl alcohol 51. Mesylate 52, azide 53, and amine 54 are then synthesized using chemistry well known to those skilled in the art. Scheme 1

Example 1 Synthesis of Compound 1

Compound 1 and its hydrochloride salt are synthesized according to the following Scheme:

4-Methoxybenzyl Azide

1001.

A solution of 4-methoxybenzyl chloride 1000 (51.8 g, 331.0 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (200 mL) was treated with solid sodium azide (21.5 g, 331.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) at 25° C., and the resulting mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 24 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was quenched with H₂O (400 mL) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 400 mL) at room temperature.

The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (200 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with H₂O (2×200 mL) and saturated NaCl aqueous solution (100 mL), dried over MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude 4-methoxybenzyl azide (51.2 g, 53.95 g theoretical, 94.9% yield) was obtained as colorless oil, which by HPLC and ¹H NMR was found to be essentially pure and was directly used in the subsequent reaction without further purifications. For 4-methoxybenzyl azide 1001:

¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃) δ 3.84 (s, 3H, ArOCH₃), 4.29 (s, 2H, Ar—CH₂), 6.96 (d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.28 (d, 2H, J=7.8 Hz).

C-[1-(4-Methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine and C-[3-(4-Methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine

(1003 and 1004).

A solution of 4-methoxybenzyl azide 1001 (61.2 g, 375.5 mmol) in toluene (188 mL) was heated with propargylamine 1002 (commercially available, 30.97 g, 38.6 mL, 563.0 mmol, 1.5 equiv) at 25° C., and the resulting reaction mixture was warmed up to gentle reflux at 100-110° C. for 21 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature before being concentrated in vacuo to remove the excess amount of propargylamine and solvent.

The oily residue was then treated with 30% ethyl acetate-hexane (v/v, 260 mL), and the resulting mixture was warmed up to reflux and stirred at reflux for 30 min before being cooled down to room temperature for 1 h. The pale-yellow solids were then collected by filtration, washed with 30% ethyl acetate-hexane (v/v, 2×100 mL), and dried in vacuo at 40° C. for overnight to afford the crude, cycloaddition product (78.8 g, 81.75 g theoretical, 96.4%) as a mixture of two regioisomers, C-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine and C-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine (1003 and 1004), in a ratio of 1.2 to 1 by ¹H NMR.

The crude cycloaddition product was found to be essentially pure and the two regioisomers were not separated before being used directly in the subsequent reaction without further purification. For 1003 and 1004:

¹H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ 1.82 (br. s, 2H, NH₂), 3.72 and 3.73 (two s, 3H, Ar—OCH₃), 5.47 and 5.53 (two s, 2H, ArCH₂), 6.89 and 6.94 (two d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz, Ar—H), 7.17 and 7.29 (two d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz, Ar—H), 7.58 and 7.87 (two br. s, 1H, triazole-CH); C₁₁H₁₄N₄O, LCMS (EI) m/e 219 (M⁺+H) and 241 (M⁺+Na).

4-({tert-Butoxycarbonyl-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid and 4-({tert-Butoxycarbonyl-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid (1008 and 1009).

Method A. A solution of the regioisomeric C-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine and C-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine (1003 and 1004, 20.0 g, 91.74 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE, 280 mL) was treated with 4-formylphenylboronic acid 1005 (commercially available, 12.39 g, 82.57 mmol, 0.9 equiv) at room temperature, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (NaB(OAc)₃H, 29.2 g, 137.6 mmol, 1.5 equiv) was then added to the reaction mixture in three portions over the period of 1.5 h at room temperature, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for an additional 3.5 h.

When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the reductive animation reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue, which contained a regioisomeric mixture of 4-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid and 4-({[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid as the reductive animation products (1006 and 1007), was then treated with tetrahydrofuran (THF, 100 mL) and water (H₂O, 100 mL).

The resulting solution was subsequently treated with solid potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃, 37.98 g, 275.2 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (BOC₂O, 20.02 g, 91.74 mmol, 1.0 equiv) at room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the N-BOC protection reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was treated with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 150 mL) and water (H₂O, 100 mL). The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with H₂O (50 mL), 1.5 N aqueous HCl solution (2×100 mL), H₂O (100 mL), and saturated aqueous NaCl solution (100 mL), dried over MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo.

A solution of the regioisomeric C-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine and C-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine (1003 and 1004, 20.06 g, 92.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF, 300 mL) was treated with 4-formylphenylboronic acid (13.11 g, 87.4 mmol, 0.95 equiv) at room temperature, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (NaB(OAc)₃H, 29.25 g, 138.0 mmol, 1.5 equiv) was then added to the reaction mixture in three portions over the period of 1.5 h at room temperature, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for an additional 3.5 h.

When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the reductive animation reaction was complete, the reaction mixture, which contained a regioisomeric mixture of 4-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid and 4-({[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid as the reductive animation products (1006 and 1007), was then treated with water (H₂O, 200 mL).

The resulting aqueous solution was subsequently heated with solid potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃, 38.0 g, 276 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (BOC₂O, 20.08 g, 92 mmol, 1.0 equiv) at room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the N-BOC protection reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was treated with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 150 mL) and water (H₂O, 100 mL). The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL).

The combined organic extracts were washed with H₂O (50 mL), 1.5 N aqueous HCl solution (2×100 mL), H₂O (100 mL), and saturated aqueous NaCl solution (100 mL), dried over MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo.

and the resulting mixture was degassed three times under a steady stream of Argon at 25° C. Pd(PPh₃)₄(866 mg, 0.749 mmol, 0.01 equiv) was subsequently added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting reaction mixture was degassed three times again under a stead stream of Argon at 25° C. before being warmed up to gentle reflux for 18 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed the coupling reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature before being treated with H₂O (100 mL) and ethyl acetate (100 mL). The two layers were then separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL).

The combined organic extracts were washed with H₂O (50 mL), 1.5 N aqueous HCl solution (2×150 mL), H₂O (100 mL), and the saturated aqueous NaCl solution (100 mL), dried over MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo.

When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the N-BOC deprotection reaction was complete,

the solvents were removed in vacuo. The residue was then suspended in 250 mL of 5% methanol (MeOH) in acetonitrile (CH₃CN), and the resulting slurry was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The solids were then collected by filtration, washed with toluene (2×100 mL) and 5% methanol in acetonitrile (2×50 mL), and dried in vacuo to afford a regioisomeric mixture of the crude, (5S)-N-{3-[2-fluoro-4′-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide hydrochloride and (5S)-N-{3-[2-fluoro-4′-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-5-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide hydrochloride (1013 and 1014, 30.0 g, 33.68 g theoretical, 89.1% yield) as off-white crystals in a ratio of 1.2 to 1.

A solution of the crude regioisomeric mixture of (5S)-N-{3-[2-fluoro-4′-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide hydrochloride and (5S)-1H-{3-[2-fluoro-4′-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-5-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide hydrochloride (1013 and 1014, 29.17 g, 49.07 mmol) in trifluoroacetic acid(TFA, 150 mL) was warmed up to 65-70° C., and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 65-70° C. for 12 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the deprotection reaction was complete, the solvents were removed in vacuo.

The residual solids were then treated with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 100 mL) and H₂O (150 mL) before being treated with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (30 mL) at room temperature.

QIDP Designation for Radezolid for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections, Community-acquired Bacterial Pneumonia

Rib-X Pharmaceuticals announced that the FDA designated radezolid as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) for the indications of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP).

The QIDP designation will enable Rib-X to benefit from certain incentives for the development of new antibiotics, including an additional five years of market exclusivity, priority review and eligibility for fast-track status, provided under the new Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) program. GAIN was included in the FDA Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), formerly known as PDUFA V, which received bipartisan Congressional support and was signed into law by President Obama in July 2012.

Radezolid has completed two Phase 2 clinical trials with an oral formulation in uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections (uSSSI) and in CABP. A Phase 1 study with an IV formulation was recently completed in healthy subjects. Rib-X recently announced data from a positive Phase 1 IV dosing study conducted in healthy subjects and an in vivo long-term safety study vs. linezolid (Zyvox; Pfizer).

BC-3781
The pleuromutilin BC-3781 belongs to the first generation of pleuromutilins to combine excellent oral
bioavailability with substantial activity against Gram-positive pathogens and atypicals as well as some
Gram-negative pathogens. In particular, BC-3781 is highly active against multi-drug resistant (MDR)
pathogens including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), MDR Streptococcus pneumonia
(i.e. macrolide and quinolone resistance), and vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium. It is
characterized by excellent in vivo activities (e.g. pneumonia model), outstanding PK/PD parameters,
allowing once a day dosing, and a novel mode of action. BC-3781 is being developed for both oral and IV
administration and is intended for the treatment of serious multi-drug resistant skin & skin structure
infections (CSSI) and moderate to severe pneumonia (CAP, HAP etc).

Pleuromutilins have been known since 1951, but only entered the market in 2007 with the approval of retapamulin for topical use. Until today, there are no pleuromutilins for systemic use approved in human clinical practice.

Nabriva is currently working on the development of new compounds is this class. The lead compound, BC-3781, if approved, will be the first pleuromutilin for systemic use in humans.

The compound shows potent in vitro activity against a large collection of staphylococci, streptococci, andE. faecium. When compared to linezolid and vancomycin, the compound shows greater overall potency againstS. aureus [121]. BC-3781 shows improved activity against most bacteria commonly associated with community-acquired respiratory tract infections, the compound is especially potent against S. pneumoniaincluding penicillin resistant strains. It also shows improved activity against H. influenza, M. catarrhalis, M. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae.

BC-3781 is undergoing Phase I clinical trials for CAP and in March of 2011 has completed a Phase II clinical study comparing it to vancomycin for treatment of aBSSSI [119,120,121,122,123]. Nabriva Therapeutics AG announced that the cooperation with Forest Laboratories to develop the compound had elapsed, and that Nabriva retained all rights in BC-3781. The company informed that the product was Phase III ready and that it was seeking partners to continue further development [203].

Nabriva is also developing BC-7013 for topical use against Gram-positive infections and working on the discovery of new pleuromutilins [119,124].

Dr William Prince, CMO Nabriva Therapeutics commented:
“This is the first patient study with a systemic pleuromutilin. It will be an important proof of concept
for an exciting new class of antibiotics. The phase II study builds on our extensive preclinical and
phase I data which have demonstrated that BC-3781 can achieve therapeutically relevant blood and
tissue levels in man with excellent tolerability when administered by either oral or intravenous
routes.”

Dr. David Chiswell, CEO Nabriva Therapeutics commented:
“With a worldwide problem due to antibiotic resistant bacteria, there is a very significant need for
new classes of antibiotics with unique modes of action such as the pleuromutilins. The commercial
prospects for BC-3781 as the leading compound of an exciting new class are excellent, especially as it
has an ideal anti-bacterial spectrum for both skin and respiratory infections and is being developed
with both oral and intravenous formulations”

BC-3781 is highly active against key pathogens, including MRSA, associated with skin infections and
community and hospital acquired pneumonia and is more potent than Linezolid and vancomycin. The
compound’s novel mode of action ensures that it overcomes resistance mechanisms affecting all
approved classes of antibiotics. BC-378

Scheme G highlights the synthesis of compounds of general structure II from amines of type 5 and 18. The amine can be acylated with carboxylic acids using EDCI (or other commonly employed peptide coupling reagents known in the art) to afford amides II.

Acid chlorides can be purchased or synthesized and allowed to react with amines 5 and 18, in the presence of bases such as triethylamine, to also produce amides II.

Alternatively, carboxylic acids can be pre-loaded onto a solid polymeric support, such as a tetrafluorophenol containing resin (TFP resin), and reacted with amines to yield amide products of general structure II (such as compounds 4008-4015).

Scheme H illustrates the synthesis of compounds of general structure Ilia from amines of type 5, 13, and 18 using reductive amination chemistry. For example, biaryl amine compounds 4016-4028 are synthesized in this manner. Scheme H

Scheme I depicts the synthesis of general structure Illb of the present invention from amine intermediate 8. For example, compounds 4029-4031 are synthesized using this reductive amination chemistry.

Scheme J shows the synthesis of compounds of general structure IVa and IVb. Amines 20, 21, and 22 can be converted to tertiary amines IVa, such as compounds 4032-4034 and 4036, using standard reductive amination chemistry employed earlier for other derivatives.

This reductive amination chemistry can be employed on biaryl aldehyde intermediates such as 19, 9, and 14 to yield optionally substituted amines of general structure IVb, illustrated by compound 4037.
