The invention also provides methods for inhibiting growth of mycobacterial cells as well as a method of treating mycobacterial infections by Mycobacterium tuberculosis comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an oxazolidinone of the invention and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a composition comprising such compound and/or salt.
1. A compound of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:
wherein:
R 1 is —CH 2 NHC(R 2 )NR 3 ;
R 2 is H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, or NR 4 R 5 ;
R 3 is H, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, or CN;
R 4 is H or C 1 -C 6 alkyl;
R 5 is H or C 1 -C 6 alkyl;
E is phenyl or pyridyl, wherein the phenyl and pyridyl are substituted with one or two fluorines;
A is
wherein A is substituted with up to four substituents, which are independently selected from halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl, —CN, C 1 -C 6 haloalkyl, —SO 2 C 1 -C 6 alkyl, —SO 2 NR 4 R 5 , C 1 -C 6 alkoxy, C 1 -C 6 haloalkoxy, —OH, oxo, tetrazole, triazole, and C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl, and wherein the tetrazole, triazole, and C 3 -C 6 cycloalkyl are unsubstituted or substituted with up to three substituents selected from C1-C6 alkyl.
2. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 2 is NH 2 .
3. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 2 is hydrogen.
4. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 2 is methyl.
5. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 3 is —CN.
6. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R 3 is hydrogen.
7. The compound of claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein A is:
or phenyl, wherein the phenyl is substituted with one substituent independently selected from —SO 2 CH 3 or —SO 2 NH 2 ; or pyridyl, wherein the pyridyl is substituted with one substituent independently selected from —SO 2 CH 3 , 1H-tetrazol-1-yl, 5 -m ethyl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl, 2H-1,2,3 -triazol-2-yl.
8. A compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, selected from:
9. A pharmaceutical composition which comprises a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
10. A method for treating a bacterial infection which comprises administering to a subject having said mycobacterial infecttion a therapeuticallu effective amount of a compound according to claim 1 , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the mycobacterial infection is due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the mycobacterial infection is due to Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the compound or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered orally, parentally, or topically.
14. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the M. tuberculosis is a drug resistant mycobacterial strain.
15. The method according to any of claim 11 , further comprising the step of administering a second therapeutic agent for treating M. tuberculosis.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of: ethambutol, pyrazinamide, isoniazid, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, ofloxacin, kanamycin, amikacin, capreomycin, streptomycin, ethionamide, prothionamide, cycloserine, terididone, para-aminosalicylic acid, clofazimine, clarithromycin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, thiacetazone, meropenem-clavulanate, thioridazine, bedaquiline, ciprofloxacin, enviomycin, meropenem-clavulanate, rifabutin, and viomycin.
