Abstract

Provided herein are compounds, derivatives thereof, composition comprising one or more of said compounds and derivatives, and methods for prevention and/or treatment of microbial infections and/or related diseases or conditions. The present compounds and/or derivatives thereof can be represented by Formula (II): The present methods include administering to a subject an effective amount of one or more compounds of Formula (II). In one embodiment, said microbial infections are bacterial infections. More specifically, said bacterial infections are staphylococcal infections.

Claims (28)

1 . An antiseptic composition for pre-surgical and post-surgical skin disinfection, comprising:

an antiseptic other than a compound of Formula (II); and

one or more compounds having Formula (II):

wherein R1 is selected from:

where R3 and R4 can be independently or jointly selected from the group: H; F; Cl; Br; I; OH; CN; (C 1-4 )alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl; (C 2-4 )alkenyl, such as ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, where the double bond can be located at any position in the alkenyl carbon chain, and including any alkenyl conformational isomers thereof; alkynyl; aralkyl; alkaryl; halogenated alkyl; heteroalkyl; aryl; heterocyclyl; cycloalkyl; cycloalkenyl; cycloalkynyl; hydroxyalkyl; aminoalkyl; amino; alkylamino; arylamino; dialkylamino; alkylarylamino; diarylamino; acylamino; thiol; thioalkyl; alkoxy; alkylthio; alkoxyalkyl; aryloxy; arylalkoxy; acyloxy; nitro; carbamoyl; trifluoromethyl; phenoxy; benzyloxy; phosphonic acid; phosphate ester; sulfonic acid; sulfonate ester; sulfonamide; arylalkyl; carbamate; alkyltriphenylphosphonium; heterocyclyl; ketone; ether (—OR10); and ester (—COOR11 and —OC(═O)R11);

or R3 and R4 can be bonded together to form a four-, five-, or six-membered heterocyclyl, cycloalkenyl, or cycloalkyl;

R5 can be selected from the group: H; F; Cl; Br; I; OH; CN; (C 1-4 )alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl; (C 2-4 )alkenyl, such as ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, where the double bond can be located at any position in the alkenyl carbon chain, and including any alkenyl conformational isomers thereof; alkynyl; aralkyl; alkaryl; halogenated alkyl; heteroalkyl; aryl; heterocyclyl; cycloalkyl; cycloalkenyl; cycloalkynyl; hydroxyalkyl; aminoalkyl; amino; alkylamino; arylamino; dialkylamino; alkylarylamino; diarylamino; acylamino; thiol; thioalkyl; alkoxy; alkylthio; alkoxyalkyl; aryloxy; arylalkoxy; acyloxy; nitro; carbamoyl; trifluoromethyl; phenoxy; benzyloxy; phosphonic acid; phosphate ester; sulfonic acid; sulfonate ester; sulfonamide; arylalkyl; carbamate; alkyltriphenylphosphonium; heterocyclyl; ketone (═O); ether (—OR10); and ester (—COOR11 and —OC(═O)R11); and

where R10 and R11 can be independently or jointly selected from the group consisting of: a (C 1-4 )alkyl, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl; (C 2-4 )alkenyl, such as ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl, where the double bond can be located at any position in the alkenyl carbon chain, and including any alkenyl conformational isomers; and alkynyl;

X is selected from N or C,

A is single bond or double bond, and

wherein R2 is selected from:

wherein R6 and R7 are independently or jointly selected from O or absent;

R8 and R9 are independently or jointly selected from the group consisting of heteroalkyl; aryl; heterocyclyl; cycloalkyl; cycloalkenyl; cycloalkynyl; and tetrahydroquinolinyl,

or R8 and R9 are optionally bonded together to form a four-, five-, or six-membered heterocyclyl, cycloalkenyl, or cycloalkyl, and

Z is selected from C or S.

2 . The composition of claim 1 , including one or more antiseptics other than a compound of Formula (II) selected from of a C 1-6 alcohol comprising methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol and isomers thereof; povidone-iodine; biguanides with antiseptic properties; phenols with antiseptic properties; quaternary ammonium salts; or quinolines with antiseptic properties.

3 . The composition of claim 2 , wherein the biguanides component is selected from polyaminopropyl biguanide; polihexanide; alexidine or chlorhexidine.

4 . The composition of claim 2 , wherein the phenols component is selected from triclosan; hexachlorophene or chloroxylenol.

5 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (II) is selected from:

6 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered to the skin of a subject prior to or after surgical operation to reduce a virulence of bacteria causing bacterial infections and/or related diseases or conditions in said subject after the surgical operation.

7 . The composition of claim 6 , wherein the bacterial infections comprise Staphylococcus sp. Infections.

8 . The composition of claim 7 , wherein the Staphylococcus sp. comprises Staphylococcus aureus or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

9 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition inhibits biosynthesis of staphyloxanthin in the Staphylococcus aureus.

10 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition blocks pigments production in Staphylococcus aureus.

11 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein said subject is a mammal.

12 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein said subject is human.

13 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is administered to the subject in need thereof topically in one or more forms comprising creams, ointments, salves, gels, lotions or emulsions.

14 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition increases sensitivity and/or susceptibility of microbes causing said microbial infections and/or related diseases or conditions to oxidation and neutrophil killing.
