Chateauneuf et al, J. Org. Chem., 56, 5939-5942, 1991). In some cases an elevated temperature such as 40-70° C. may be beneficial. Alternatively, the piperazine may be treated with a base, such as one equivalent of butyl lithium, and the resulting salt reacted with the oxirane in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, preferably at an elevated temperature such as 80° C. Use of a chiral epoxide will afford single diastereomers. Alternatively, mixtures of diastereomers may be separated by preparative HPLC or by conventional resolution through crystallisation of salts formed from chiral acids.

An analogous method is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,989,691 and M. Gates et. al. (1970) J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 92, 205, as well as Taylor et al. (1972) JACS 94, 6218.
  • In process variant (xi) where X or Y is CHO the reaction is a standard reductive alkylation using, e.g., sodium triacetoxyborohydride (Gribble, G. W. in Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (Ed. Paquette, L. A.) (John Wiley and Sons, 1995), p 4649).
  • The process variants (xii) and (xiii). are standard alkylation reactions well known to those skilled in the art, for example where an alcohol or amine is treated with an alkyl halide in the presence of a base (for example see March, J; Advanced Organic Chemistry, Edition 3 (John Wiley and Sons, 1985), p364-366 and p342-343). The process is preferably carried out in a polar solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide
  • In process variant (xiv) and (xv) the reaction is a standard sulphonamide formation reaction well known to those skilled in the art. This may be e.g. the reaction of a sulphonyl halide with an amine.
  • Reduction of a carbonyl group B to CHOH can be readily accomplished using reducing agents well known to those skilled in the art, e.g. sodium borohydride in aqueous ethanol or lithium aluminiun hydride in ethereal solution. This is analogous to methods described in EP53964, US384556 and J. Gutzwiller et al, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1978, 100, 576.
  • The carbonyl group B may be reduced to CH2 by treatment with a reducing agent such as hydrazine in ethylene glycol, at e.g. 130-160° C., in the presence of potassium hydroxide.
  • Reaction of a carbonyl group B with an organometallic reagent yields a group where R8 is OH and R9 is alkyl.
  • A hydroxy group on A or B may be oxidised to a carbonyl group by oxidants well known to those skilled in the art, for example, manganese dioxide, pyridinium chlorochromate or pyridinium dichromate.
  • A hydroxyalkyl A-B group CHR6CR8OH or CR6(OH)CHR8 may be dehydrated to give the group CR6═CR8 by treatment with an acid anhydride such as acetic anhydride.
  • Methods for conversion of CR6═CR8 by reduction to CHR6CHR8 are well known to those skilled in the art, for example using hydrogenation over palladium on carbon as catalyst. Methods for conversion of CR6═CR8 to give the A-B group CR6(OH)CHR8 or CHR6CR8OH are well known to those skilled in the art for example by epoxidation and subsequent reduction by metal hydrides, hydration, hydroboration or oxymercuration.
  • An amide carbonyl group may be reduced to the corresponding amine using a reducing agent such as lithium aluminium hydride.
  • A hydroxy group in A or B may be converted to azido by activation and displacement e.g. under Mitsunobu conditions using hydrazoic acid or by treatment with diphenylphosphorylazide and base, and the azido group in turn may be reduced to amino by hydrogenation.
  • R1′, R2′, R3 and R4′ are preferably R1, R2, R3 and R4. R1 is preferably methoxy. R2′ is preferably hydrogen. R3′ is preferably hydrogen, CONH2, CH2OH, CH2CO2H, CH2CONH2, CH(OH)CH2OH, CH(OH)CH2CN, CH2CN, 2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-yl and 2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-yl(C1-4alkyl). R4′ is preferably heptyl.
  • Conversions of R1′, R2′, R3 and R4′ and interconversions of R1, R2, R3 and R4 are conventional. In compounds which contain an optionally protected hydroxy group, suitable conventional hydroxy protecting groups which may be removed without disrupting the remainder of the molecule include acyl and alkylsilyl groups.
  • For example R1′ methoxy is convertible to R1′ hydroxy by treatment with lithium and diphenylphosphine (general method described in Ireland et al, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1973, 7829) or HBr. Alkylation of the hydroxy group with a suitable alkyl derivative bearing a leaving group such as halide and a protected amino, piperidyl, amidino or guanidino group or group convertible thereto, yields, after conversion/deprotection, R1 alkoxy substituted by optionally N-substituted amino, piperidyl, guanidino or amidino.
  • R3 alkenyl is convertible to hydroxyalkyl by hydroboration using a suitable reagent such as 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, epoxidation and reduction or oxymercuration.
  • R3 1,2-dihydroxyalkyl can be prepared from R3′ alkenyl using osmium tetroxide or other reagents well known to those skilled in the art (see Advanced Organic Chemistry, Ed. March, J., John Wiley and Sons, 1985, p 732-737 and refs. cited therein) or epoxidation followed by hydrolysis (see Advanced Organic Chemistry, Ed. March, J. John Wiley and Sons, 1985, p 332, 333 and refs. cited therein).
  • R3 vinyl can be chain extended by standard homologation, e.g. by conversion to hydroxyethyl followed by oxidation to the aldehyde, which is then subjected to a Wittig reaction.
  • Opening an epoxide-containing R3′ group with cyanide anion yields a CH(OH)—CH2CN group.
  • Opening an epoxide-containing R3′ group with azide anion yields an azide derivative which can be reduced to the amine. Conversion of the amine to a carbamate is followed by ring closure with base to give the 2-oxo-oxazolidinyl containing R3 group.
  • Substituted 2-oxo-oxazolidinyl containing R3 groups may be prepared from the corresponding aldehyde by conventional reaction with a glycine anion equivalent, followed by cyclisation of the resulting amino alcohol (M Grauert et al, Ann. Chem., 1985, 1817; Rozenberg et al, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 1994, 33(1), 91). The resulting 2-oxo-oxazolidinyl group contains a carboxy group which can be converted to other R10 groups by standard procedures.
  • Carboxy groups within R3 may be prepared by Jones' oxidation of the corresponding alcohols CH2OH using chromium acid and sulphuric acid in water/methanol (E. R. H. Jones et al, J. Chem. Soc., 1946, 39). Other oxidising agents may be used for this transformation such as sodium periodate catalysed by ruthenium trichloride (G. F. Tutwiler et al, J. Med. Chem., 1987, 30(6), 1094), chromium trioxide-pyridine (G. Just et al, Synth. Commun., 1979, 9(7), 613), potassium permanganate (D. E. Reedich et al, J. Org.

R. Bell, J. Med. Chem., 1970, 13, 389), or the iodide using triphenylphosphine, iodine, and imidazole (G. Lange, Synth. Commun., 1990, 20, 1473). The second stage is the displacement of the leaving group with cyanide anion (L. A. Paquette et al, J. Org. Chem., 1979, 44(25), 4603; P. A. Grieco et al, J. Org. Chem., 1988, 53(16), 3658.

Chem., 1993, 36, 2182) or by reaction of azidotri-n-butyl stannane with the cyano group followed by acidic hydrolysis (P. L. Ornstein, J. Org. Chem., 1994, 59, 7682 and J. Med. Chem, 1996, 39 (11), 2219).

Chem., 1992, 35(25), 4720) can be prepared by the following sequence:—(1) a compound where R3 is (CH2)nCHO (n=0, 1, 2) is treated with triethylamine, carbontetrabromide-triphenylphosphine to give initially (CH2)nCH═CHBr; (2) dehydrobromination of this intermediate to give the corresponding bromoethyne derivative (CH2)nC≡CBr (for this 2 stage sequence see D. Grandjean et al, Tetrahedron Lett., 1994, 35(21), 3529); (3) palladium-catalysed coupling of the bromoethyne with 4-(1-methylethoxy)-3-(tri-n-butylstannyl)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione (Liebeskind et al, J. Org. Chem., 1990, 55, 5359); (4) reduction of the ethyne moiety to —CH2CH2— under standard conditions of hydrogen and palladium on charcoal catalysis (see Howard et al, Tetrahedron, 1980, 36, 171); and finally (4) acidic hydrolysis of the methylethoxyester to generate the corresponding 3-hydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione group (R. M. Soll, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1993, 3(4), 757).

  • The preparation of 5-oxo-1,2,4-oxadiazoles from nitrites is decribed by Y. Kohara et al, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1995, 5(17), 1903.
  • 1,2,4-Triazol-5-yl groups may be prepared from the corresponding nitrile by reaction with an alcohol under acid conditions followed by reaction with hydrazine and then an R10-substituted activated carboxylic acid (see J.

  • Other substituents on R3 alkyl or alkenyl may be interconverted by conventional methods, for example hydroxy may be derivatised by esterification, acylation or etherification. Hydroxy groups may be converted to halogen, thiol, alkylthio, azido, alkylcarbonyl, amino, aminocarbonyl, oxo, alkylsulphonyl, alkenylsulphonyl or aminosulphonyl by conversion to a leaving group and substitution by the required group or oxidation as appropriate or reaction with an activated acid, isocyanate or alkoxyisocyanate. Primary and secondary hydroxy groups can be oxidised to an aldehyde or ketone respectively and alkylated with a suitable agent such as an organometallic reagent to give a secondary or tertiary alcohol as appropriate.
  • Compounds of formula (I) where R2 and R3 are a divalent residue ═CR5, R61 can be prepared by treatment of a compound of formula (I) where R3 is alken-1-yl with a strong base in an aprotic solvent. Suitable bases include Ph2PLi/PhLi (as described in Ireland et al, J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1973, 7829), t-BuLi, and suitable solvents include THF and ether.
  • NH is converted to NR4 by conventional means such as alkylation with an alkyl halide in the presence of base, acylation/reduction or reductive alkylation with an aldehyde.
  • It will be appreciated that under certain circumstances interconvertions may interfere, for example, A or B hydroxy groups in A or B and the piperidine NH will require protection e.g. as a carboxy- or silyl-ester group for hydroxy and as an acyl derivative for piperidine nitrogen, during conversion of R1′, R2′, R3′ or R4′.
  • Compounds of formula (IV) where X is CR6R7SO2W may be prepared by a route analogous to that of Ahmed El Hadri et al, J. Heterocyclic Chem., 1993, 30(3), 631. Thus compounds of formula (IV) where X is CH2SO2OH may be prepared by reacting the corresponding 4-methyl compound with N-bromosuccinimide, followed by treatment with sodium sulfite. The leaving group W may be converted to another leaving group W, e.g. a halogen group, by conventional methods.
  • The isocyanate of formula (IV) may be prepared conventionally from a 4-amino derivative such as 4-amino-quinoline, and phosgene, or phosgene equivalent (eg triphosgene) or it may be prepared more conveniently from a 4-carboxylic acid by a ‘one-pot’ Curtius Reaction with diphenyl phosphoryl azide (DPPA) [see T. Shiori et al. Chem. Pharm. Bull. 35, 2698-2704 (1987)].
  • The 4-amino derivatives are commercially available or may be prepared by conventional procedures from a corresponding 4-chloro derivative by treatment with ammonia (O. G. Backeberg et. al., J. Chem Soc., 381, 1942.) or propylamine hydrochloride (R. Radinov et. al., Synthesis, 886, 1986).
  • 4-Alkenyl compounds of formula (IV) may be prepared by conventional procedures from a corresponding 4-halogeno-derivative by e.g. a Heck synthesis as described in e.g. Organic Reactions, 1982, 27, 345.
  • 4-Halogeno derivatives of compounds of formula (IV) are commercially available, or may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art. A 4-chloroquinoline is prepared from the corresponding quinolin-4-one by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) or phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5. A 4-chloroquinazoline is prepared from the corresponding quinazolin-4-one by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) or phosphorus pentachloride, PCl5. A quinazolinone and quinazolines may be prepared by standard routes as described by T. A. Williamson in Heterocyclic Compounds, 6, 324 (1957) Ed. R. C. Elderfield.
  • 4-Carboxy derivatives of compounds of formula (IV) are commercially available or may be prepared by conventional procedures for preparation of carboxy heteroaromatics well known to those skilled in the art. For example, quinazolines may be prepared by standard routes as described by T. A. Williamson in Heterocyclic Compounds, 6, 324 (1957) Ed. R. C. Elderfield. Pyridazines and napthyridines may be prepared by routes analogous to those described in Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry, Volumes 2 & 3, Ed A. J. Boulton and A. McKillop. These 4-carboxy derivatives may be activated by conventional means, e.g. by conversion to an acyl halide or anhydride.
  • A 4-oxirane derivative of compounds of formula (IV) is conveniently prepared from the 4-carboxylic acid by first conversion to the acid chloride with oxalyl chloride and then reaction with trimethylsilyldiazomethane to give the diazoketone derivative. Subsequent reaction with 5M hydrochloric acid gives the chloromethylketone. Reduction with sodium borohydride in aqueous methanol gives the chlorohydrin which undergoes ring closure to afford the epoxide on treatment with base, e.g. potassium hydroxide in ethanol-tetrahydrofuran.
  • If a chiral reducing agent such as (+) or (−)-B-chlorodiisopinocamphenylborane [‘DIP-chloride’ ] is substituted for sodium borohydride, the prochiral chloromethylketone is converted into the chiral chlorohydrin with ee values generally 85-95% [see C. Bolm et al, Chem. Ber. 125, 1169-1190, (1992)]. Recrystallisation of the chiral epoxide gives material in the mother liquor with enhanced optical purity (typically ee 95%).
  • The (R)-epoxide, when reacted with a piperazine derivative gives ethanolamine compounds as single diastereomers with (R)-stereochemistry at the benzylic position.
  • Alternatively, the epoxide may be prepared from the 4-carboxaldehyde by a Wittig approach using trimethylsulfonium iodide [see G. A. Epling and K-Y Lin, J. Het. Chem., 1987, 24, 853-857], or by epoxidation of a 4-vinyl derivative.
  • 4-Hydroxy-1,5-naphthyridines can be prepared from 3-aminopyridine derivatives by reaction with ethoxymethylenemalonic ester to produce the 4-hydroxy-3-carboxylic acid ester derivative with subsequent hydrolysis to the acid, followed by thermal decarboxylation in quinoline (as for example described for 4-Hydroxy-[1,5]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid, Joe T. Adams et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1946, 68, 1317. A 4-hydroxy-[1,5]naphthyridine can be converted to the 4-chloro derivative by heating in phosphorus oxychloride. A 4-amino 1,5-naphthyridine can be obtained from the 4-chloro derivative by reaction with n-propylamine in pyridine. Similarly, 6-methoxy-1,5-naphthyridine derivatives can be prepared from 3-amino-6-methoxypyridine.
  • 1,5-Naphthyridines may be prepared by other methods well known to those skilled in the art (for examples see P. A. Lowe in “Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry” Volume 2, p581-627, Ed A. R. Katritzky and C. W. Rees, Pergamon Press, Oxford, 1984).
  • For compounds of formula (V), suitable amines may be prepared from the corresponding 4-substituted piperidine acid or alcohol. In a first instance, an N-protected piperidine containing an acid bearing substituent, can undergo a Curtius rearrangement and the intermediate isocyanate can be converted to a carbamate by reaction with an alcohol. Conversion to the amine may be achieved by standard methods well known to those skilled in the art used for amine protecting group removal. For example, an acid substituted N-protected piperidine can undergo a Curtius rearrangement e.g. on treatment with diphenylphosphoryl azide and heating, and the intermediate isocyanate reacts in the presence of 2-trimethylsilylethanol to give the trimethylsilylethylcarbamate (T. L. Capson & C. D. Poulter, Tetrahedron Lett., 1984, 25, 3515). This undergoes cleavage on treatment with tetrabutylammonium fluoride to give the 4-amine substituted N-protected piperidine.
  • In a second instance, an N-protected piperidine containing an alcohol bearing substituent undergoes a Mitsunobu reaction (for example as reviewed in Mitsunobu, Synthesis, (1981), 1), for example with succinimide in the presence of diethyl azodicarboxylate and triphenylphosphine to give the phthalimidoethylpiperidine. Removal of the phthaloyl group, for example by treatment with methylhydrazine, gives the amine of formula (V).
  • Conversions of R1′, R2′, R3′ and R4′ may be carried out on the intermediates of formulae (IV), and (V) prior to their reaction to produce compounds of formula (I) in the same way as described above for conversions after their reaction.
  • Further details for the preparation of compounds of formula (I) are found in the examples.
  • The compounds of formula (I) may be prepared singly or as compound libraries comprising at least 2, for example 5 to 1,000 compounds, and more preferably 10 to 100 compounds of formula (I). Libraries of compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by a combinatorial ‘split and mix’ approach or by multiple parallel synthesis using either solution phase or solid phase chemistry, by procedures known to those skilled in the art.
  • Thus according to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a compound library comprising at least 2 compounds of formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof.
  • Novel intermediates of formulae (IV) and (V) are also part of this invention.
  • The antibacterial compounds according to the invention may be formulated for administration in any convenient way for use in human or veterinary medicine, by analogy with other antibacterials.
  • The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include those in a form adapted for oral, topical or parenteral use and may be used for the treatment of bacterial infection in mammals including humans.
  • The composition may be formulated for administration by any route. The compositions may be in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, granules, lozenges, creams or liquid preparations, such as oral or sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions.
  • The topical formulations of the present invention may be presented as, for instance, ointments, creams or lotions, eye ointments and eye or ear drops, impregnated dressings and aerosols, and may contain appropriate conventional additives such as preservatives, solvents to assist drug penetration and emollients in ointments and creams.
  • The formulations may also contain compatible conventional carriers, such as cream or ointment bases and ethanol or oleyl alcohol for lotions. Such carriers may be present as from about 1% up to about 98% of the formulation. More usually they will form up to about 80% of the formulation.
  • Tablets and capsules for oral administration may be in unit dose presentation form, and may contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, for example syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragacanth, or polyvinylpyrrolidone; fillers, for example lactose, sugar, maize-starch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol or glycine; tabletting lubricants, for example magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol or silica; disintegrants, for example potato starch; or acceptable wetting agents such as sodium lauryl sulphate. The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in normal pharmaceutical practice. Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of, for example, aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or may be presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives, such as suspending agents, for example sorbitol, methyl cellulose, glucose syrup, gelatin, hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, aluminium stearate gel or hydrogenated edible fats, emulsifying agents, for example lecithin, sorbitan monooleate, or acacia; non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils), for example almond oil, oily esters such as glycerine, propylene glycol, or ethyl alcohol; preservatives, for example methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid, and, if desired, conventional flavouring or colouring agents.
  • Suppositories will contain conventional suppository bases, e.g. cocoa-butter or other glyceride.
  • For parenteral administration, fluid unit dosage forms are prepared utilizing the compound and a sterile vehicle, water being preferred. The compound, depending on the vehicle and concentration used, can be either suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. In preparing solutions the compound can be dissolved in water for injection and filter sterilised before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing.
  • Advantageously, agents such as a local anaesthetic, preservative and buffering agents can be dissolved in the vehicle. To enhance the stability, the composition can be frozen after filling into the vial and the water removed under vacuum. The dry lyophilized powder is then sealed in the vial and an accompanying vial of water for injection may be supplied to reconstitute the liquid prior to use. Parenteral suspensions are prepared in substantially the same manner except that the compound is suspended in the vehicle instead of being dissolved and sterilization cannot be accomplished by filtration. The compound can be sterilised by exposure to ethylene oxide before suspending in the sterile vehicle. Advantageously, a surfactant or wetting agent is included in the composition to facilitate uniform distribution of the compound.
  • The compositions may contain from 0.1% by weight, preferably from 10-60% by weight, of the active material, depending on the method of administration. Where the compositions comprise dosage units, each unit will preferably contain from 50-500 mg of the active ingredient. The dosage as employed for adult human treatment will preferably range from 100 to 3000 mg per day, for instance 1500 mg per day depending on the route and frequency of administration. Such a dosage corresponds to 1.5 to 50 mg/kg per day. Suitably the dosage is from 5 to 20 mg/kg per day.
  • No toxicological effects are indicated when a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof is administered in the above-mentioned dosage range.
