Abstract

The present invention pertains, at least in part, to novel 9-substituted minocycline compounds. These minocycline compounds can be used to treat numerous tetracycline compound-responsive states, such as bacterial infections and neoplasms, as well as other known applications for minocycline and tetracycline compounds in general, such as blocking tetracycline efflux and modulation of gene expression.

R 13 is hydrogen, hydroxy, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, alkylamino, or an arylalkyl;

Y′ and Y are each independently hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, sulfhydryl, amino, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, alkylamino, or an arylalkyl, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and prodrugs thereof.

2. The minocycline compound of claim 1 , wherein it R 4 is NR 4′ R 4″ ; X is CR 6 R 6′ ; R 2 , R 2′ , R 5 , R 6 , R 6′ , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 , R 11 , and R 12 are each hydrogen; and, R 4′ , R 4″ , R 7′ , and R 4″ are each lower alkyl.

3. The minocycline compound of claim 2 , wherein R 4′ , R 4″ , R 7′ , and R 7″ are each methyl.

4. The minocycline compound of claim 1 , wherein said alkyl substituent is aminoalkyl.

5. The minocycline compound of claim 4 , wherein said aminoalkyl is substituted with a alkylsulfonamide group.

6. A minocycline compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof of the formula:

7. The minocycline compound of claim 6 , wherein said minocycline compound is.

8. The minocycline compound of claim 1 , wherein R 9 is alkynyl substituted with a straight-chain alkyl group.

9. The minocycline compound of claim 8 , wherein said straight-chain alkyl group is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, or decyl.

10. The minocycline compound of claim 1 , wherein R 9 is alkynyl substituted with a branched-chain alkyl group.

11. The minocycline compound of claim 10 , wherein said branched-chain alkyl group is isopropyl, tert-butyl, or isobutyl.

12. The minocycline compound of claim 1 , wherein R 9 is alkynyl substituted with a cycloalkyl group.

13. The minocycline compound of claim 12 , wherein said cycloalkyl group is cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, or cyclooctyl.

14. The minocycline compound of claim 1 , wherein R 9 is alkynyl substituted with an alkenyl, alkynyl, halogen, hydroxyl, alkylcarbonyloxy, arylcarbonyloxy, alkoxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, carboxylate, alkylcarbonyl, arylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, alkylthiocarbonyl, alkoxyl, phosphate, phosphonato, phosphinato, cyano, amino acylamino, amidino, imino, sulfhydryl, alkylthio, arylthio, thiocarboxylate, sulfates, alkylsulfinyl, sulfonato, sulfamoyl, sulfonamido, nitro, trifluoromethyl, cyano, azido, heterocyclyl, alkylaryl, or an aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety.
