Definitions
- This invention relates to a group of compounds which may be used as antibacterial agents.
- Bacterial infections may be a primary cause of disease or they may arise following invasive treatment such as surgery or the insertion of catheters or prostheses. Since the discovery of penicillin, antibiotic drugs have been used to combat bacterial infections. However, strains of bacteria resistant to most, if not all, of the known antibiotic drugs are now emerging and new approaches for the treatment of bacterial infections are therefore of great interest.
- Staphylococci bacteria are responsible for a number of illnesses such as food poisoning, the symptoms of which (profuse vomiting and diarrhoea) can result in rapid dehydration and occasionally prove fatal to the young and elderly. Toxins produced by certain strains of these bacteria (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus) are also the main cause of tampon-associated toxic shock syndrome. In addition, although staphylococci are not implicated as the disease agent in influenza, this illness can predispose to Staphylococcus aureus, which, as a cause of pneumonia, has one of the highest mortality rates.
- the synthesis of virulence factors and other extracellular proteins by Staphylococcus aureus is globally controlled by the agr locus.
- the agr locus consists of two divergent transcription units driven by promoters P2 and P3.
- the P3 transcript RNA III rather than any protein, is the effector of the agr response which involves the up-regulation of genes encoding secreted proteins (e.g., exotoxins) and down-regulation of genes encoding surface proteins (or cell wall proteins) .
- the thioester material which was synthesised failed to activate their reporter assay.
- the synthetic peptides are effectors of the agr response and are thus agonists for the later stages of virulence, such as the expression of exotoxin and antagonists for the earlier stages of virulence such as the expression of cell proteins.
- the same peptides may be inhibitors of the agr response and therefore antagonists, by this definition, for other strains of bacteria.
- A, B, E and D are independently selected from residues of natural or synthetic amino acids or substituted derivatives thereof;
- n is zero or an integer from 1 to 5;
- X is S, O or NR 3 ;
- R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from hydrogen, C j to C 6 alkyl, C j to C 6 acyl and C, to C 6 alkoxycarbonyl or, when m is zero, R 1 and R 2 may be linked so as to form a heterocyclic ring with the N atom to which R 2 is attached; and
- Z or independently each Z when m is an integer from 2 to 5, is a residue of a natural or synthetic amino acid or a substituted derivative thereof,
- the compounds of the invention may have either agonist or antagonist activity (i.e., up- or down-regulation of the agr response, respectively) with respect to the production of exotoxins by bacteria.
- those compounds which are agonists by this definition antagonise the earlier stages in virulence such as the production of cell wall proteins by the bacteria.
- the compounds having antagonist activity are agonists for the production of cell wall proteins.
- agonists and antagonists are both potentially useful in the treatment and/or prevention of bacterial infection.
- the agonists, by down-regulating the earlier stages of virulence may be useful for prophylaxis whereas the antagonists will be of use in the treatment of infections at a later stage. Essentially, the compounds interfere with the normal operation of the bacterial cells.
- the compounds of the invention in which m is not equal to zero are likely to have agonist activity where they resemble the naturally occurring peptides but they may be antagonists for other strains.
- m is equal to zero. It has surprisingly been found that compounds of this type act as antagonists in a number of different bacterial strains. Hence, this sub-class of the compounds of the invention constitutes a route to preventing or treating bacterial infections, over a range of different strains, by down regulating the production of harmful exotoxins and other factors associated with the later stages of virulence.
- A, B, E and D are independently selected from residues of natural or synthetic amino acids or substituted derivatives thereof.
- Each Z in the (Z) m chain is similarly independently selected from residues of these types of amino acid. Any of the twenty natural amino acids are suitable for A, B, E, D and Z.
- the natural amino acids are as follows:
- Residues of amino acids which are not naturally occurring are also suitable for A, B, E and D, although these are currently less preferred.
- the residues may be substituted derivatives of the naturally occurring or synthetic amino acids.
- the amino acid residue comprises an alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl group
- this may be substituted with one or more groups such as C j -Ce alkyl, hydroxy or halo (i.e. , F, CI, Br or I).

- the thiol groups may be alkylated with a C r C 6 alkyl group
- the carboxylic acid may be a salt, an ester or an amide
- the amino group may be an addition salt or may be N-alkylated or N-acylated with C C 6 alkyl or C C 6 acyl groups, respectively.
- Each amino acid residue may be of substantially one enantiomer, an optically active mixture of enantiomers or a racemic mixture. At least one of the amino acids of A, B, E, D and Z or each Z is preferably an L-isomer and, more preferably, they are all L- isomers.
- Suitable values for A, B, E and D, for example, are respectively:
- X is S and the compounds of the invention are thiolactones.
- R 1 is preferably C C 6 acyl, such as acetyl, and R 2 is preferably H.
- alkyl covers branched and unbranched alkyl groups, optionally substituted by one or more halogen atoms (e.g., fluorine or chlorine).
- halogen atoms e.g., fluorine or chlorine.
- acyl and “alkoxycarbonyl” are defined in a corresponding manner.
- the asymmetric carbon atom bound to the (CH 2 ) group in the compounds of the invention may be of L- or D- stereochemistry or a mixture of these isomers (such as a racemate) .
- the same considerations with regard to optical activity apply to the overall compound.

- the surgical prosthesis may be intended for long-term insertion into the body (e.g., a cardiac pacemaker) or for short-term insertion (e.g., a catheter).
- the invention also provides a process for producing a compound of the invention which comprises the following steps:
- Step (a) may involve conventional solid phase peptide synthesis (e.g., Fmoc/tBu) with the functional groups in the amino acids or amino acid residues protected with standard protecting groups, where necessary.
- Step (b) may be carried out using carbodiimide-based coupling conditions which are, again, conventional.
- the assembled resin-bound protected peptide (2) (0.1 mmol) was first swollen in DCM (HPLC grade, 1 0 ml) by stirring at room temperature for 20 min. To the stirred suspension was added a solution of 1 .0% TFA in DCM ( 1 0 ml) . The suspension was stirred for 1 -2 min during which the resin acquired a deep red colouration. The colourless solution of protected peptide was then filtered into a mixture of pyridine (0.3 ml, 3.71 mmol) in methanol ( 1 5 ml) and the resin was washed with 50% DCM in methanol (2 x 1 5 ml).
- Compound 4 was purified by RP-HPLC using a Kromasil ® C 8 ( 1 0 x 1 50 mm) column on a Waters ® 51 0 HPLC system and the eluant was monitored by UV absorbance at 220 mm using a Waters ® 484 tunable absorbance detector.
- the eluents were solvent A; 0.06% TFA in water and solvent B; 0.06% TFA in 90% acetonitrile/water.

The supernatant was filtered (0.22 ⁇ m filter, Gelman ®). The filtrate was stored at -80°C and used as a source of activator e.g., for positive controls and in the experiments to test for inhibition.
- the ⁇ -lactamase reporter used in this study contains the promoter region of the RNAIII transcript (P3) linked to a staphylococcal ⁇ -lactamase gene (blaZ) (P3-blaZ), within the cloning vector pSA3800 (Ross 1 989, Novick et al., 1 995).
- the activator assay was carried out as follows: the Staphylococcus aureus strain RN6390B (agr + ) with the P3-blaZ fusion plasmid pRN6683 was grown in CYGP broth (Appendix A) (starting at 7.5 X 1 0 7 cells per ml) at 37 °C with shaking to 4.5 X 1 0 8 cells per ml. To 45 ⁇ l of cells, 5 ⁇ l of synthetic peptide ( 1 .92 ⁇ g/ml) or activator or CYGP (negative control) was added.
- ⁇ - lactamase activity was measured by the nitrocefin method (O'Callaghan et al., 1 972) modified as follows. Culture samples were diluted with CYGP broth plus 5 mM sodium azide to a final volume of 50 ⁇ l and transferred to a microtiter plate (96 well) . Nitrocefin solution (50 ⁇ l of 1 25 ⁇ g/ml in recommended dilution buffer, Oxoid, Basingstoke, England) was added and the plate was incubated with shaking at 37 °C. The plate reader was set to read the absorbance at 492 and 690 nm.
- the assays for the inhibition of P3 were carried out as for the activation assays with the following modification. 5 ⁇ l of the activator preparation along with 5 ⁇ l of the substance to be tested for inhibition were added to 45 ⁇ l of exponential phase cells. Ali controls were carried out in total volume of 55 ⁇ l. See table 1 for results.
- RN6390B suspended in PBS (see appendix A) was used as a starting innoculum. This was prepared as follows: a large colony of RN6390B grown on LB agar was suspended in 500 ⁇ l of sterile PBS. Each of the peptides was added at a concentration of 1 .92 ⁇ g/ml and the cultures grown at 37°C with shaking.
- the cells were grown and peptide added as for the ⁇ - haemolysin experiments except for the following A 1 ml sample was taken during exponential phase and an equivalent number of cells at stationary phase (see table 3 for details), and the cells harvested by centrifugation.
- the bacterial pellets were then incubated with 25 ⁇ l of lysostaphin ( 1 00 ⁇ g/ml, Sigma) and 25 ⁇ l of lysozyme ( 25 mg/ml) for 1 hour at 37°C.
- the samples were boiled for 5 minutes in 2X loading buffer (see appendix A) and subsequently spun for 2 minutes in a microcentrifuge.
- the samples were then loaded onto a 1 2% SDS PAGE gel (Laemmli, 1 970) and electrophoresed at 1 50 volts until the dye front reached the bottom of the gel.
- the proteins were then Western blotted onto a nitro-cellulose membrane (Biotrace NT, Gelman Sciences,) at 1 00 volts for 90 minutes (Towbin et al, 1 979) .
- the membrane was subsequently blocked using 3% Bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma) in PBS and then probed with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-rat IgG immunoglobulins (Dakopatts) ( 1 /1 000 in PBS) for 2 hours and developed using 4-chloro-1 -napthol (Sigma) as a substrate.
- BSA Bovine serum albumin
- Dakopatts horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-rat IgG immunoglobulins
- the blot was then scanned using Phoretix image analysis and the intensity of each band quantified, see table 3.
- S.aureus strain KH 1 1 87A was grown and peptide added as for the ⁇ -haemolysin experiments except that brain heart infusion broth was used instead of CYGP broth. All samples were grown until they reached an OD 540 of 2.0. The cells were removed by centrifugation and the supernatant was filter sterilized (0.22 ⁇ m Millipore filter). The sample was then centrifuged through a Microcon 1 0 filter (Amicon; 1 0 kDa cut-off) and the resulting retentate made up to 50 ⁇ l with PBS.
