Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ⁇ -lactam antibiotics. More particularly, the present invention includes novel ⁇ -lactam compounds and their pharmacologically acceptable salts and prodrugs, their methods of production and use. These compounds exhibit antibiotic activity against a wide spectrum of organisms, including organisms which are resistant to ⁇ -lactam antibiotics.
  • the ⁇ -lactams exhibit their antibacterial activity by inhibiting bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and have been extremely effective in treating a wide variety of bacterial infections.
  • ⁇ -lactams that are said to have antibacterial activity are described in U.S. Patent 3,992,377 and U.S. Patent 4,256,739.
  • Unfortunately the wide-spread and indiscriminant use of these antibiotics has led to a rapid increase in the number of bacterial strains which are resistant to these compounds. Most importantly, this resistance has emerged among clinically important microorganisms which threaten to limit the utility of presently available ⁇ -lactam antibiotics.
  • resistant strains of Salmonella, S. pneumonias, Enterobacteriacese, and Pseudomonas have emerged which threaten to undo many of the strides made in reducing mortality and morbidity from bacterial infections.
  • Bacterial resistance to ⁇ -lactams follows three major pathways: a) the development of ⁇ -lactamases capable of inactivating the ⁇ -lactam ring; b) decreased ⁇ -lactam penetration into the bacteria due to changes in bacterial cell wall composition; and c) poor binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) .
  • PBPs penicillin-binding proteins
  • the latter pathway is especially important, as the binding of ⁇ -lactams to PBPs is essential for inhibiting bacterial cell-wall biosynthesis.
  • Certain Gram-positive bacteria namely methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA") and enterococci are highly resistant to ⁇ -lactam antibiotics .
  • Experimental compounds which may possess utility as anti-MRSA or anti-enterococcal bactericides include the glycylcyclines (see, e.g.. P.-E. Sum et al.. J. Med. Chem.. 37, (1994)) , FK-037 (see, e.g.. H. Ohki gt al., J. Antibiotics. 46:359-361 (1993)) , RP-59,500 (see. e.g... S.K. Spangler et. aJ - # Antimicro. Agents
