OXAZOLIDINONE DERIVATIVES AS ANTIMICROBIALS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to certain substituted phenyl oxazolidinones and to processes
for the synthesis of the same. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions
containing the compounds of the present invention as antimicrobials. The compounds are useful
antimicrobial agents, effective against a number of human and veterinary pathogens, including
gram-positive aerobic bacteria, for example, multiple-resistant staphylococci, streptococci and
enterococci as well as anaerobic organisms, for example, Bacterioides spp. and Clostridia spp.
species, and acid fast organisms, for example, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium
uvium and Mycobacterium spp.
Background of the Invention
Increasing antibacterial resistance in Gram-positive bacteria has presented a formidable
treatment problem. The enterococci, although traditionally not virulent pathogens, have been
shown, when associated with vancomycin resistance, to have an attributable mortality of
approximately 40 %. Staphylococcus aureus, the traditional pathogen of postoperative wounds,
has been resistant to penicillin due to production of penicillinases. This resistance was overcome
by the development of various penicillinase-stable P lactams. But the pathogen responded by
synthesizing modified target penicillin binding protein- 2' leading to less affinity for P lactam
antibiotics and a phenotype known as Methicillin Resistant S. aureus (MRSA). These strains,
until recently were susceptible to vancomycin, which despite its various drawbacks, has become
the drug of choice for MRSA infections. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen causing
pneumonia, sinusitis and meningitis. Until very recently it was highly susceptible to penicillin.
Recently though, different PBP 2' strains with different susceptibility to penicillin have been
reported from across the globe.
Oxazolidinones are a class of synthetic antimicrobial agents which kill Gram-positive
pathogens by inhibiting a very early stage of protein synthesis. Oxazolidinones inhibit the
formation of ribosomal initiation complex involving 30S and SOS ribosomes leading to prevention
of initiation complex formation. Due to their mechanism of action, these compounds are active
against pathogens resistant to other clinically useful antibiotics.

For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this
invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form
preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, suppositories and
ointments. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents.
Havering agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablets disintegrating
agents; it can also be us finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active
compound. For the preparation of tablets, the active compound is mixed with carrier having the
necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired.
The powders and tablets can, in some embodiments, contain from about 5 to about 70 percent of
the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin,
tragacanth, low melting wax, cocoa butter and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to
include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a
capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier,
which is thus in association with it. Similarly, capsules can be used, as solid dosage forms
suitable for oral administration.
Liquid form preparations include solutions suspensions and emulsions. As an example
may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Such
solutions are prepared so as to be acceptable to biological systems with respect to isotonicity, pH,
and other parameters. Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous
polyethylene glycol solution. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by
dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, and
thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspension suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing
the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, for example, natural or
synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and other suspending
agents.
Ointment preparations can contain heavy metal salts of a compound of Formula I with a
physiologically acceptable carrier. The carrier is desirably a conventional water-dispersible
hydrophilic or oil-in-water carrier, particularly a conventional semi-soft or cream-like waterdispersible
or water soluble, oil-in-water emulsion infected surface with a minimum of
discomfort. Suitable compositions may be prepared by merely incorporating or homogeneously
admixing finely divided compounds with the hydrophilic carrier or base or ointment.
The pharmaceutical preparation can be in unit dosage form. In such forms, the preparation
is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit
dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete capsules, powders in
vials or ampoules and ointments capsule, cachet, tablet, gel, or cream itself or it can be the
appropriate number of any of these packaged forms.
The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted
from less than 1 ing to several grams according to the particular application and the potency of the
active ingredient.
In therapeutic use as agents for treating bacterial infections the compounds utilized in the
pharmaceutical method of this invention are administered at the initial dosage of about 3 mg to
about 40 mg per kilogram daily. The dosages, however, may be varied depending upon the
requirements of the patient and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper
dosage for a particular situation is within the smaller dosages, which are less than the optimum
dose. Small increments until the optimum effect under the daily dosage may be divided and
administered in portions during the day if desired.

The in vitro antibacterial activity of the compounds was demonstrated by the agar dilution method
(NCCLS M 7 and M 100-S8 documents). Briefly, the compounds were dissolved in
diniethylsulfoxide and doubling dilution of the compounds were incorporated into Muller Hilton
agar before solidification. Inoculum was prepared by direct colony suspension in normal saline
solution and adjusting the turbidity to 0.5 Macfarland turbidity and subsequently diluting as per
NCCLS guidelines in order to obtain 10^ CPU/spot. CFU/mL of few randomly selected cultures
was performed. The cultures were replicated Denley's multipoint replicator. The agar plates
were incubated for 18 hours-24 hours (24 hours for MRSA studies) at 35+ 2°C. Q.C. strains were
also included in each run of the study.
The in vitro activity for Haemophilus MICs were performed by using Micro broth dilution
method as follows:
Media used: Mueller Hinton Broth (MHB-Difco) - Cation adjusted + 5 grams per liter Yeast
extract + supplements
Preparation of drug concentrations in 96 well microtitre plates was done as per the NCCLS
method. Inoculum was prepared by direct colony suspensions in normal saline and adjusted to 1
McFarland turbidity and subsequently diluted in broth 100 times as per NCCLS guidelines in
order to obtain 105 CFU/spot. The concentration showing no growth of the inoculated culture
was recorded as the MIC. Appropriate ATCC standard strains were simultaneously tested and
result recorded only when the MIC's against standard antibiotics were within the acceptable range.
While the present invention has been described in terms of its specific embodiments, certain
modifications and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art and are intended to be
included within the scope of the present invention.
