Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of isotopically labeled derivatives of isoniazid, ethionamide and related compounds as effective therapy for the treatment of mycobacterial diseases, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Claims (28)

1. A compound having the chemical structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein the compound contains at least one isotopically labeled atom selected from the group consisting of carbon-13, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 in the exocyclic acyl hydrazide moiety of the compound and said NH 2 NH 2 group is optionally isotopically labeled with at least one 15 N atom.

2. A compound according to claim 1 having the chemical structure:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

3. The compound according to claim 2 having an isotopically labeled oxygen-17 or oxygen-18 atom.

4. The compound according to claim 2 having an isotopically labeled carbon-13 atom.

5. The compound according to claim 2 having an isotopically labeled oxygen-17 atom.

6. The compound according to claim 2 having an isotopically labeled oxygen-18 atom.

7. The compound according to claim 2 having an isotopically labeled carbon-13 atom and an isotopically labeled oxygen-18 atom.

8. The compound according to claim 1 having an isotopically labeled nitrogen-15 atom.

9. A pharmaceutical composition in dosage form comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 in an amount of at least 25 mg.

10. A pharmaceutical composition in dosage form comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 in an amount of at least 50 mg.

11. A pharmaceutical composition in dosage form comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 in an amount of at least 100 mg.

12. A pharmaceutical composition in dosage form comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 in an amount of at least 150 mg.

13. A pharmaceutical composition in dosage form comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 in an amount of at least 250 mg.

14. A pharmaceutical composition in dosage form comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 in an amount of at least 300 mg.

15. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 9 in oral dosage form.

16. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 9 in parenteral dosage form.

17. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 9 in pulmonary dosage form,

18. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 10 in pulmonary dosage form.

19. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 9 further comprising a therapeutically effective amount of at least one additional, anti-tuberculosis agent.

20. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 19 wherein said anti-tuberculosis agent is selected from the group consisting of rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol/ethambutol hydrochloride, aminosalicyclic acid/aminosalicylate sodium, capreomycin sulfate, clofazimine, cycloserine, kanamycin sulfate, rifabutin, rifapentine, streptomycin sulfate, gatifloxacin and mixtures thereof.

21. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 19 wherein said composition is a mixture of therapeutically effective amounts of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and optionally, ethambutol/ethambutol hydrochloride.

22. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 19 wherein said composition is a mixture of ethionamide and gatifloxacin, and optionally pyrazinamide all in therapeutically effective amounts.

23. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 20 wherein said composition is a mixture of therapeutically effective amounts of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and optionally, ethambutol/ethambutol hydrochloride.

24. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 20 wherein said composition is a mixture of ethionamide and gatifloxacin, and optionally pyrazinamide all in therapeutically effective amounts.

25. A pharmaceutical composition in dosage form comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 2 in an amount of at least 25 mg.

26. A pharmaceutical composition in dosage form comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 2 in an amount of at least 100 mg.
