HAM AM E LITAN N I N ANALOGUES AND USES THEREOF

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to hamamelitannin analogues, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and combinations thereof with antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics or disinfectants. It in particular relates to the use of the compounds, compositions and combinations according to this invention in human or veterinary medicine, more in particular for use in the prevention and/or treatment of bacterial infections, such as Staphylococcus aureus infections, in humans or animals.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION For a long time, microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts or fungi were considered non- complex organisms that could easily be eradicated with antimicrobials. However, today we are confronted with an alarming growth of disease-causing microbes that can no longer efficiently be controlled by available antibiotics or antifungals. This phenomenon is generally referred to as "antimicrobial resistance" or AMR. Clinicians in many different disciplines are experiencing difficulties to treat patients due to ineffective antimicrobials.

The impact of AMR is also evidenced by the problem of infections acquired during a stay at a healthcare related institution (hospitals, elderly care) also known as "nosocomial infections". To combat the spread of AMR, there is an increasing pressure towards a more rational use of antibiotics. As a result, almost every Western country has launched campaigns to make people aware that misuse of antimicrobials makes them ineffective. In fact, the problem of AMR has grown to such a dramatic level that the World Health Organization moved it to the top-3 of global health risks. Hence, there is a continuous need for new antimicrobial compositions, or agents that increase sensitivity of micro-organisms towards existing antimicrobials in order to combat the spread of AMR. A particular way of sensitizing microorganisms for certain antimicrobials is by interfering with their quorum sensing system. Microorganisms such as bacteria use quorum sensing to coordinate certain behaviors such as biofilm formation, virulence, and antibiotic resistance, based on the local density of the bacterial population. Quorum sensing (QS) can occur within a single bacterial species as well as between diverse species, and can regulate different processes, in essence, serving as a simple indicator of population density or the diffusion rate of the cell's immediate environment. Several non-peptide small molecules, peptides and proteins have been shown to affect quorum sensing in bacteria and are suitable in the prevention and/or treatment of bacterial infections. For example hamamelitannin (HAM) or 2',5-di-O-galloyl-D-hamamelose, a natural compound found in the bark and leaves of Hamamelis virginana (witch hazel), was found to act as a quorum sensing inhibitor (QSI) (WO2007147098). HAM interferes with a quorum sensing system in bacteria. It was found that when combining HAM with an antibiotic, a potentiating or synergistic effect is observed, in particular HAM increases the susceptibility of bacterial biofilms to antibiotics in vitro as well as in vivo (Brackman et al., 201 1 ).

It is important to emphasize that HAM may not be considered as a classical antibiotic drug, since it does not exert bactericidal nor bacteriostatic effects. HAM probably interferes with mechanisms that are responsible for the exceptional resistance in biofilms and thus can cause a potentiating or synergistic effect in combination with antibiotics.

The natural HAM product is metabolically unstable and only moderately active, and therefore less preferable in the treatment of microbial infections. Nevertheless, interesting results obtained with this molecule provide a conspicuous lead for further optimization, and present an opportunity for the development of a novel class of pharmaceutical compounds, capable of combating microbial infections. It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide novel non-carbohydrate, drug-like HAM analogues with an improved metabolic and chemical stability and increased activity. Furthermore, we have developed an efficient synthetic route to produce these novel compounds from easily available starting materials.

In a particular embodiment, the invention relates to a stereoisomer, tautomer, racemic, metabolite, pro- or predrug, salt, hydrate, or solvate of the compounds provided herein, and especially any and each of the compounds represented by Formula I or II and provided in Table 1 . More specific, the invention also encompasses a stereoisomer, tautomer, racemic, salt, hydrate, or solvate of said compounds. When describing the compounds of the invention, the terms used are to be construed in accordance with the following definitions, unless a context dictates otherwise.

The term "alkyl" by itself or as part of another substituent refers to a fully saturated hydrocarbon of Formula C _x H _2x+ i wherein x is a number greater than or equal to 1 . Generally, alkyl groups of this invention comprise from 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Alkyl groups may be linear or branched and may be substituted as indicated herein. When a subscript is used herein following a carbon atom, the subscript refers to the number of carbon atoms that the named group may contain. Thus, for example, Ci_ ₄ alkyl means an alkyl of one to four carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, butyl, and its isomers (e.g. n- butyl, i-butyl and t-butyl); pentyl and its isomers, hexyl and its isomers, heptyl and its isomers, octyl and its isomers, nonyl and its isomers; decyl and its isomers. C C ₆ alkyl includes all linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl groups with between 1 and 6 carbon atoms, and thus includes methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, butyl and its isomers (e.g. n-butyl, i-butyl and t-butyl); pentyl and its isomers, hexyl and its isomers, cyclopentyl, 2-, 3-, or 4-methylcyclopentyl, cyclopentylmethylene, and cyclohexyl.

The term "optionally substituted alkyl" refers to an alkyl group optionally substituted with one or more substituents (for example 1 to 4 substituents, for example 1 , 2, 3, or 4 substituents or 1 to 2 substituents) at any available point of attachment. Non-limiting examples of such substituents include halo, hydroxyl, carbonyl, nitro, amino, oxime, imino, azido, hydrazino, cyano, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, acyl, alkylamino, alkoxy, thiol, alkylthio, carboxylic acid, acylamino, alkyl esters, carbamate, thioamido, urea, sullfonamido and the like.

The term "cycloalkyl" by itself or as part of another substituent is a cyclic alkyl group, that is to say, a monovalent, saturated, or unsaturated hydrocarbyl group having 1 , 2, or 3 cyclic structures. Cycloalkyl includes all saturated or partially saturated (containing 1 or 2 double bonds) hydrocarbon groups containing 1 to 3 rings, including monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic alkyl groups. Cycloalkyl groups may comprise 3 or more carbon atoms in the ring and generally, according to this invention comprise from 3 to 15 atoms. The further rings of multi- ring cycloalkyls may be either fused, bridged and/or joined through one or more spiro atoms. Cycloalkyl groups may also be considered to be a subset of homocyclic rings discussed hereinafter. Examples of cycloalkyl groups include but are not limited to cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, cyclononyl, adamantanyl and cyclodecyl with cyclopropyl being particularly preferred. An "optionally substituted cycloalkyl" refers to a cycloalkyl having optionally one or more substituents (for example 1 to 3 substituents, for example 1 , 2, 3 or 4 substituents), selected from those defined above for substituted alkyl. When the suffix "ene" is used in conjunction with a cyclic group, hereinafter also referred to as "Cycloalkylene", this is intended to mean the cyclic group as defined herein having two single bonds as points of attachment to other groups. Cycloalkylene groups of this invention preferably comprise the same number of carbon atoms as their cycloalkyl radical counterparts.

Where alkyl groups as defined are divalent, i.e., with two single bonds for attachment to two other groups, they are termed "alkylene" groups. Non-limiting examples of alkylene groups includes methylene, ethylene, methylmethylene, trimethylene, propylene, tetramethylene, ethylethylene, 1 ,2-dimethylethylene, pentamethylene and hexamethylene. Similarly, where alkenyl groups as defined above and alkynyl groups as defined above, respectively, are divalent radicals having single bonds for attachment to two other groups, they are termed "alkenylene" and "alkynylene" respectively.

Generally, alkylene groups of this invention preferably comprise the same number of carbon atoms as their alkyl counterparts. Where an alkylene or cycloalkylene biradical is present, connectivity to the molecular structure of which it forms part may be through a common carbon atom or different carbon atom, preferably a common carbon atom. To illustrate this applying the asterisk nomenclature of this invention, a C ₃ alkylene group may be for example *- CH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₂ -*, *-CH(-CH ₂ CH ₃ )-*, or *-CH ₂ CH(-CH ₃ )-*. Likewise a C ₃ cycloalkylene group may

The terms "heterocyclyl" or "heterocycio" as used herein by itself or as part of another group refer to non-aromatic, fully saturated or partially unsaturated cyclic groups (for example, 3 to 13 member monocyclic, 7 to 17 member bicyclic, or 10 to 20 member tricyclic ring systems, or containing a total of 3 to 10 ring atoms) which have at least one heteroatom in at least one carbon atom-containing ring.

MEDICAL USE

It is an aim of the present invention to provide compounds that interfere with quorum sensing (QS) in bacteria and/or inhibit or prevent biofilm formation.

The present invention thus further provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to the present invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, diluent and/or carrier.

In a further aspect, the present invention provides a combination, as part of a composition or in use, of a compound according to the present invention with an antimicrobial agent, in particular an antibiotic or disinfectant. Hence, one or more compounds as described herein and one or more antimicrobial agents can be part of a single composition or can be used in a separate or sequential application.

In a specific aspect, the present invention provides a compound, composition or combination according to the present invention, for use as a medicament, more in particular, for use in the prevention, reduction and/or treatment of bacterial infections in humans or animals. In a particular embodiment, said bacterial infection is a Staphylococcus aureus infection.

The compounds of the present invention can be used as an alternative to replace antibiotics for combating (bacterial) infections or can be used as an adjunct therapy in combination with e.g. antibiotics so that lower doses of the conventional antibiotics are required.

In a particular embodiment, the present invention provides a method of preventing, reducing the risk of and/or treating a bacterial infection, more in particular a disorder associated with biofilm formation in a subject; said method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutic effective amount of a compound, a composition or a combination according to the present invention. The term "biofilm" as used herein refers to biological films that develop and persist at interfaces in aqueous environments, on medical implants, or as foci of chronic infections. Biofilms may also form on biological surfaces such as teeth, or any other natural or artificial surfaces that may be exposed to or are in contact with non-sterile aqueous environments that may include nutrients suitable for the colonization and proliferation of the microorganisms. These biological films are composed of microorganisms embedded in organic gelatinous matrices composed of one or more matrix polymers that are secreted by the resident microorganisms. Biofilms can develop into macroscopic structures several millimeters or centimeters in thickness and can cover large surface areas. Biofilms are also capable of trapping nutrients and particulates that can contribute to their enhanced development and stability. Biofilms can also prevent penetration of antimicrobial agents, which may lead to persistent infections. Disorders associated with biofilm formation include but are not limited to, dental caries, periodontitis, otitis media, muscular skeletal infections, necrotizing fasciitis, biliary tract infection, osteomyelitis, bacterial prostatitis, endocarditis, native valve endocarditis, cystic fibrosis pneumonia, meloidosis, or skin lesions associated with bullous impetigo, atopic dermatitis and pemphigus foliaceus or implanted device-related infections. In some embodiments, the disorder is a nosocomial infection, including but not limited to, pneumonia, sepsis (including SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome), severe sepsis and MODS (multiorgan dysfunction syndrome)), or an infection associated with sutures, exit sites, arteriovenous sites, scleral buckles, contact lenses, urinary catheter cystitis, peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) peritonitis, lUDs, endotracheal tubes, Hickman catheters, central venous catheters, mechanical heart valves, vascular grafts, biliary stent blockage, and orthopedic devices. The compounds of the present invention are of particular interest to prevent, limit the risk of and/or treat post-operative wound infections, skin ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers such as decubitus ulcers or bedsores, burn wound infections, catheter associated infections, and infections resulting from animal bites. In a further embodiment, the compounds as described herein are effective in preventing and/or treating mastitis, i.e. inflammation of the breast tissue. S. aureus is the most common etiological organism responsible, but S. epidermidis and streptococci are occasionally isolated as well. Mastitis in dairy cattle is the persistent, inflammatory reaction of the udder tissue.

The present invention further provides a method for the prevention, reducing the risk of and/or treatment of microbial infections, in particular bacterial infections, more in particular infections with bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus such as Staphylococcus aureus infections. The method further comprises contacting a surface with the composition in an amount sufficient to prevent or reduce the growth or proliferation of microorganisms or biofilm-embedded microorganisms on said surface. In the invention, particular preference is given to compounds of Formula I or II, or any subgroup thereof, that in the inhibition assay as described in the examples, inhibit with an IC ₅₀ value of less than 100μΜ, preferably less than 50 μΜ, and more preferably less than 10 μΜ.

Said inhibition may be effected in vitro and/or in vivo, and when effected in vivo, is preferably effected in a selective manner, as defined above. In some embodiments, the bacterium is contacted with the compound as provided herein ex vivo. In such an embodiment, for example, the contacting comprises administering the compound to a surface in an amount effective to inhibit biofilm formation on said surface, including but not limited to a medical device. For pharmaceutical use, the compounds of the invention may be used as a free acid or base, and/or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition and/or base-addition salt (e.g. obtained with non-toxic organic or inorganic acid or base), in the form of a hydrate, solvate and/or complex, and/or in the form or a pro-drug or pre-drug, such as an ester. As used herein and unless otherwise stated, the term "solvate" includes any combination which may be formed by a compound of this invention with a suitable inorganic solvent (e.g. hydrates) or organic solvent, such as but not limited to alcohols, ketones, esters and the like. Such salts, hydrates, solvates, etc. and the preparation thereof will be clear to the skilled person; reference is for instance made to the salts, hydrates, solvates, etc. described in US-A- 6,372,778, US-A-6,369,086, US-A-6,369,087 and US-A-6, 372,733. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds according to the invention, i.e. in the form of water-, oil-soluble, or dispersible products, include the conventional non-toxic salts or the quaternary ammonium salts which are formed, e.g., from inorganic or organic acids or bases. Examples of such acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, citrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, 2- naphthalene-sulfonate, nicotinate, oxalate, palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3- phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, thiocyanate, tosylate, and undecanoate. Base salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases such as dicyclohexylamine salts, N-methyl-D-glucamine, and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine, and so forth. In addition, the basic nitrogen-containing groups may be quaternized with such agents as lower alkyl halides, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl chloride, bromides and iodides; dialkyl sulfates like dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl; and diamyl sulfates, long chain halides such as decyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides, aralkyl halides like benzyl and phenethyl-bromides and others. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the sulfate salt ethanolate and sulfate salts.

Generally, for pharmaceutical use, the compounds of the invention may be formulated as a pharmaceutical preparation or pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound of the invention and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient and/or adjuvant, and optionally one or more further pharmaceutically active compounds.

By means of non-limiting examples, such a formulation may be in a form suitable for oral administration, for parenteral administration (such as by intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion), for topical administration (including ocular), for administration by inhalation, by a skin patch, by an implant, by a suppository, etc. Such suitable administration forms - which may be solid, semi-solid or liquid, depending on the manner of administration - as well as methods and carriers, diluents and excipients for use in the preparation thereof, will be clear to the skilled person; reference is again made to for instance US-A-6, 372,778, US-A-6,369,086, US-A-6,369,087 and US-A-6,372,733, as well as to the standard handbooks, such as the latest edition of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Some preferred, but non-limiting examples of such preparations include tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols, ointments, creams, lotions, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, eye drops, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders (which are usually reconstituted prior to use) which may be administered as a bolus and/or for continuous administration, which may be formulated with carriers, excipients, and diluents that are suitable per se for such formulations, such as lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, cellulose, (sterile) water, methylcellulose, methyl- and propylhydroxybenzoates, talc, magnesium stearate, edible oils, vegetable oils and mineral oils or suitable mixtures thereof. Furthermore, the compounds may also be formulated in or may be applied on a medical device, such as skin patches, implantable devices, catheters, tampons, wound dressings and bandages. In a particular embodiment, one or more compounds as described hereinbefore is used to inhibit biofilm formation on a medical device by contacting the device with said compound in an amount effective to inhibit biofilm formation. Percutaneous devices (such as catheters) and implanted medical devices (including, but not limited to, pacemakers, vascular grafts, stents, and heart valves) commonly serve as foci for bacterial infection. The tendency of some microorganisms to adhere to and colonize the surface of the device promotes such infections, which increase the morbidity and mortality associated with use of the devices.

For example, one or more compounds of the present invention can be used or applied on substrates used to manufacture medical devices associated with non-invasive and invasive medical procedures. Such substrates include, without limitation, tubular, sheet, rod and articles of proper shape for use in a number of medical devices such as vascular grafts, aortic grafts, arterial, venous, or vascular tubing, vascular stents, dialysis membranes, tubing or connectors, blood oxygenator tubing or membranes, surgical instruments, ultrafiltration membranes, intra- aortic balloons, stents, blood bags, catheters, sutures, soft or hard tissue prostheses, synthetic prostheses, prosthetic heart valves, tissue adhesives, cardiac pacemaker leads, artificial organs, endotracheal tubes, lenses for the eye such as contact or intraocular lenses, blood handling equipment, apheresis equipment, diagnostic and monitoring catheters and sensors, biosensors, dental devices, drug delivery systems, or bodily implants of any kind. In particular, one or more compounds of the present invention can be used or applied on drug- eluting medical implants. These are active implants that induce healing effects in addition to their regular task of support. This effect is achieved by controlled release of the active agent, including the compounds of the present invention, into the surrounding tissue. Examples are drug-eluting vascular stents, drug-eluting wound dressings and protein-eluting scaffolds for tissue regeneration. As such, the present invention encompasses a medical device as mentioned herein comprising one or more compounds of the present invention. The compounds can be incorporated in or applied on the surface of the medical device.

In a particular embodiment, the composition or formulation of the present invention can optionally contain other pharmaceutically active substances, especially antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics or disinfectants (which may or may not lead to a synergistic effect with the compounds of the invention) and/or other substances that are commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations, such as lubricating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, dispersing agents, disintegrants, bulking agents, fillers, preserving agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, flow regulators, release agents, etc..

In some embodiments, the method and use as described herein further comprises the step of administering a standard of care antimicrobial agent to the subject. "Standard of care" as used herein refers to a treatment that is generally accepted by clinicians for a certain type of patient diagnosed with a type of illness. Exemplary standard of care antimicrobial agents include, but are not limited to, (i) β-lactam antibiotics like penicillins either alone (including but not limited to penicillin G, penicillin V, flucloxacillin, oxacillin, ampicillin, methicillin, amoxicillin, temocillin, and piperacillin), or combined with a β-lactamase inhibitors (including but not limited to amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, and piperacillin + tazobactam), carbapenems (including but not limited to biapenem, meropenem and imipenem), monobactams (including but not limited to aztreonam) and cephalosporins (including but not limited to cefadroxil, cefalexine, cefazoline, cefuroxime, cefotaxim, ceftazidim, ceftriaxone, cefepim and ceftarolin), (ii) macrolides (including but not limited to erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, and spiramycin), (iii) tetracyclines and glycyclcyclines (including but not limited to doxycycline, lymecycline, minocycline, and tigecycline), (iv) lincosamides (including but not limited to clindamycin and lincomycin), (v) (fluoro-)quinolones (including but not limited to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, nemonoxacin, garenoxacin, moxifloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, parfloxacin, gemifloxacin, zabofloxacin and cinafloxacin), (vi) trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole, (vii) aminoglycosides (including but not limited to streptomycin, amikacin, gentamicin, paromomycin, kanamycin, spectinomycin and tobramycin), (viii) glycopeptides (including but not limited to oritavancin, LY-333328, dalbavancin, teicoplanin and vancomycin), (ix) polymyxins (including but not limited to polymyxin B and colistin), (x) anti-tuberculosis drugs (including but not limited to isoniazide, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol and bedaquilin and p-aminosalicylic acid), (xi) oxazolidinones (including but not limited to tedizolid, AZD-2563 and linezolid), (xii) lipopeptides (including but not limited to daptomycin and ramoplanin), (xiii) streptogramins (including but not limited to quinupristin/dalfopristin, pristinamycin, virginiamycin and NXL-103), (xiv) ketolides (including but not limited to telithromycin and solithromycin), (xv) various other antibiotics, including but not limited to cycloserine, fosfomycin, nitrofurantoin, nifurtoinol, thiamphenicol, chloramphenicol, metronidazole, bacitracin and mupirocin, and (xvi) locally applied disinfectants including but not limited to chlorhexidine, PVP-I _{2 (} Povidone-iodine), colloidal silver, Manuka honey, ozonated olive oil, silver nitrate, silver sulfadiazine, ethanol, isopropanol, hydrogen peroxide, chloroxylenol, and cetrimide, benzalkoniumchloride and other quaternary ammonium compounds. Combination therapy comprising a compound of the present invention and an antimicrobial agent, e.g. an antibiotic or disinfectant, described herein for the treatment of a bacterial infection is specifically contemplated. For example, in one embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating a bacterial infection or a disorder associated with bacterial QS and/or biofilm formation in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically-effective amount of a combination therapy comprising (a) a compound of formula I or II or any subgroup thereof, and (b) an antimicrobial agent. Such combination therapy would be provided in a combined amount effective to prevent or inhibit QS and/or biofilm formation of the bacteria and/or prevent or treat the bacterial infection and/or treat the disorder associated with biofilm formation. This process involves administering to a subject in need thereof the compound and a (standard of care) therapeutic agent at the same time, which may be achieved by administering a single composition or pharmacological formulation that includes both the compound of the invention and a therapeutic agent, or by administering two distinct compositions or formulations, at the same time, wherein one composition includes the compound of the invention and the other includes a (standard of care) therapeutic agent. In another embodiment, the combination therapy involves administering to a subject in need thereof the compound of the invention and a (standard of care) therapeutic agent at different times, which may be achieved by administering two distinct compositions or formulations, at different time intervals, wherein one composition includes the compound of the invention and the other includes a (standard of care) therapeutic agent.

The compositions may also be formulated so as to provide rapid, sustained or delayed release of the active compound(s) contained therein, for example using liposomes or hydrophilic polymeric matrices based on natural gels or synthetic polymers. In order to enhance the solubility and/or the stability of the compounds of a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention, it can be advantageous to employ α-, β- or γ-cyclodextrins or their derivatives. An interesting way of formulating the compounds in combination with a cyclodextrin or a derivative thereof has been described in EP-A-721 ,331 . In particular, the present invention encompasses a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a compound according to the invention with a pharmaceutically acceptable cyclodextrin.

In addition, co-solvents such as alcohols may improve the solubility and/or the stability of the compounds. In the preparation of aqueous compositions, addition of salts of the compounds of the invention can be more suitable due to their increased water solubility.

Particular reference is made to the compositions, formulations (and carriers, excipients, diluents, etc. for use therein), routes of administration etc., which are known per se for analogous pyridinocarboxamides, such as those described in US-A-4,997,834 and EP-A-0 370 498. More in particular, the compositions may be formulated in a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a therapeutically effective amount of particles consisting of a solid dispersion of the compounds of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable water-soluble polymers.

The term "a solid dispersion" defines a system in a solid state (as opposed to a liquid or gaseous state) comprising at least two components, wherein one component is dispersed more or less evenly throughout the other component or components. When said dispersion of the components is such that the system is chemically and physically uniform or homogenous throughout or consists of one phase as defined in thermodynamics, such a solid dispersion is referred to as "a solid solution". Solid solutions are preferred physical systems because the components therein are usually readily bioavailable to the organisms to which they are administered.

It may further be convenient to formulate the compounds in the form of nanoparticles which have a surface modifier adsorbed on the surface thereof in an amount sufficient to maintain an effective average particle size of less than 1000 nm. Suitable surface modifiers can preferably be selected from known organic and inorganic pharmaceutical excipients. Such excipients include various polymers, low molecular weight oligomers, natural products and surfactants. Preferred surface modifiers include nonionic and anionic surfactants.

Yet another interesting way of formulating the compounds according to the invention involves a pharmaceutical composition whereby the compounds are incorporated in hydrophilic polymers and applying this mixture as a coat film over many small beads, thus yielding a composition with good bio-availability which can conveniently be manufactured and which is suitable for preparing pharmaceutical dosage forms for oral administration. Materials suitable for use as cores in the beads are manifold, provided that said materials are pharmaceutically acceptable and have appropriate dimensions and firmness. Examples of such materials are polymers, inorganic substances, organic substances, and saccharides and derivatives thereof. The preparations may be prepared in a manner known per se, which usually involves mixing at least one compound according to the invention with the one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and, if desired, in combination with other pharmaceutical active compounds, when necessary under aseptic conditions. Reference is again made to US-A- 6,372,778, US-A-6,369,086, US-A-6, 369,087 and US-A-6,372,733 and the further prior art mentioned above, as well as to the standard handbooks, such as the latest edition of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The pharmaceutical preparations of the invention are preferably in a unit dosage form, and may be suitably packaged, for example in a box, blister, vial, bottle, sachet, ampoule or in any other suitable single-dose or multi-dose holder or container (which may be properly labeled); optionally with one or more leaflets containing product information and/or instructions for use. Generally, such unit dosages will contain between 1 and 1000 mg, and usually between 5 and 500 mg, of the at least one compound of the invention, e.g. about 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300 or 400 mg per unit dosage.

The compounds can be administered by a variety of routes including the oral, rectal, ocular, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular or intranasal routes, depending mainly on the specific preparation used and the condition to be treated or prevented, and with oral and intravenous administration usually being preferred. At least one compound of the invention will generally be administered in an "effective amount", by which is meant any amount of a compound of the Formula I or II or any subgroup thereof that, upon suitable administration, is sufficient to achieve the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect in the individual to which it is administered. More specific, it refers to an amount of the compound at least sufficient to achieve a desired modulation of the activity or physiological property of a microbial population as exemplified in the present examples. The effective amount is determined, at least in part, upon the compound used, the microbial species present, the structure, system, or host, and the desired level of regulation. Modulating the activity or physiological property of the microbial population includes, but is not limited to, slowing, attenuating, inhibiting, or enhancing the colonization of a surface or proliferation of bacteria, inhibiting the formation of a biofilm, and the like. Modulation includes slowing the formation of bacteria or new bacteria if some bacteria are already present, inhibiting the formation of a biofilm. Usually, depending on the condition to be prevented or treated and the route of administration, such an effective amount will usually be between 0.01 to 1000 mg per kilogram body weight day of the patient per day, more often between 0.1 and 500 mg, such as between 1 and 250 mg, for example about 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 mg, per kilogram body weight day of the patient per day, which may be administered as a single daily dose, divided over one or more daily doses, or essentially continuously, e.g. using a drip infusion. The amount(s) to be administered, the route of administration and the further treatment regimen may be determined by the treating clinician, depending on factors such as the age, gender and general condition of the patient and the nature and severity of the disease/symptoms to be treated. Reference is again made to US-A- 6,372,778, US-A-6, 369, 086, US-A-6,369,087 and US-A-6, 372,733 and the further prior art mentioned above, as well as to the standard handbooks, such as the latest edition of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences.

In accordance with the method of the present invention, said pharmaceutical composition can be administered separately at different times during the course of therapy or concurrently in divided or single combination forms. The present invention is therefore to be understood as embracing all such regimes of simultaneous or alternating treatment and the term "administering" is to be interpreted accordingly.

For an oral administration form, the compositions of the present invention can be mixed with suitable additives, such as excipients, stabilizers, or inert diluents, and brought by means of the customary methods into the suitable administration forms, such as tablets, coated tablets, hard capsules, aqueous, alcoholic, or oily solutions. Examples of suitable inert carriers are gum arabic, magnesia, magnesium carbonate, potassium phosphate, lactose, glucose, or starch, in particular, corn starch. In this case, the preparation can be carried out both as dry and as moist granules. Suitable oily excipients or solvents are vegetable or animal oils, such as sunflower oil or cod liver oil. Suitable solvents for aqueous or alcoholic solutions are water, ethanol, sugar solutions, or mixtures thereof. Polyethylene glycols and polypropylene glycols are also useful as further auxiliaries for other administration forms. As immediate release tablets, these compositions may contain microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, starch, magnesium stearate and lactose and/or other excipients, binders, extenders, disintegrants, diluents and lubricants known in the art.

When administered by nasal aerosol or inhalation, these compositions may be prepared according to techniques well-known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation and may be prepared as solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, and/or other solubilizing or dispersing agents known in the art. Suitable pharmaceutical formulations for administration in the form of aerosols or sprays are, for example, solutions, suspensions or emulsions of the compounds of the invention or their physiologically tolerable salts in a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, such as ethanol or water, or a mixture of such solvents. If required, the formulation can also additionally contain other pharmaceutical auxiliaries such as surfactants, emulsifiers and stabilizers as well as a propellant.

For subcutaneous administration, the compound according to the invention, if desired with the substances customary therefore such as solubilizers, emulsifiers or further auxiliaries are brought into solution, suspension, or emulsion. The compounds of the invention can also be lyophilized and the lyophilizates obtained used, for example, for the production of injection or infusion preparations. Suitable solvents are, for example, water, physiological saline solution or alcohols, e.g. ethanol, propanol, glycerol, in addition also sugar solutions such as glucose or mannitol solutions, or alternatively mixtures of the various solvents mentioned. The injectable solutions or suspensions may be formulated according to known art, using suitable non-toxic, parenterally-acceptable diluents or solvents, such as mannitol, 1 ,3-butanediol, water, Ringer's solution or isotonic sodium chloride solution, or suitable dispersing or wetting and suspending agents, such as sterile, bland, fixed oils, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides, and fatty acids, including oleic acid.

When rectally administered in the form of suppositories, these formulations may be prepared by mixing the compounds according to the invention with a suitable non-irritating excipient, such as cocoa butter, synthetic glyceride esters or polyethylene glycols, which are solid at ordinary temperatures, but liquefy and/or dissolve in the rectal cavity to release the drug. In preferred embodiments, the compounds and compositions of the invention are used locally, for instance topical or in both absorbed and non-adsorbed applications. In a particular embodiment, compositions comprising a compound of the present invention, either alone or in combination as described herein, can be used as a topical agent. The topical agent is a solution, that is, in one aspect, a liquid formulation comprising the compound and a carrier. Other suitable forms include semi-solid or solid forms comprising a carrier indigenous to topical application and having a dynamic viscosity preferably greater than that of water, provided that the carrier does not deleteriously react with the compound in the composition. Suitable formulations include, but are not limited to, lip balms, suspensions, emulsions, creams, ointments, powders, liniments, salves and the like. If desired, these compositions may be sterilized or mixed with auxiliary agents, including but not limited to, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, buffers or salts for influencing osmotic pressure and the like well known in the art. Preferred vehicles for semi-solid or solid forms topical preparations include ointment bases, conventional ophthalmic vehicles; creams; and gels. These topical preparations optionally contain emollients, perfumes, and/or pigments to enhance their acceptability for various usages, provided that the additives do not deleteriously react with the compound in the composition.

Also suitable for topical application are sprayable aerosol preparations wherein the compound, preferably in combination with a solid or liquid inert carrier material, is packaged in a squeeze bottle or in admixture with a pressurized volatile, normally gaseous propellant, e.g., a Freon (chlorofluorocarbon) or environmentally acceptable volatile propellant. Such compositions are used in one aspect, for application to the skin or to mucous membranes. The aerosol or spray preparations optionally contain solvents, buffers, surfactants, perfumes, and/or antioxidants in addition to the compound.

The compositions of the present invention are further of value in the veterinary field, which for the purposes herein not only includes the prevention and/or treatment of diseases in animals, but also - for economically important animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep, chicken, fish, etc. - enhancing the growth and/or weight of the animal and/or the amount and/or the quality of the meat or other products obtained from the animal. Thus, in a further aspect, the invention relates to a composition for veterinary use that contains at least one compound of the invention and at least one suitable carrier (i.e. a carrier suitable for veterinary use). The invention also relates to the use of a compound of the invention in the preparation of such a composition.

As used herein, the term "subject" includes humans, mammals (e.g., cats, dogs, horses, chicken, pigs, hogs, cows, fish, crabs, shrimps, cattle, and other), and other living species that are in need of treatment. In particular, the term "host" includes humans.

In related variations of the preceding embodiments, a composition comprising a compound of the present invention packaged alone, e.g., in a kit or package or unit dose, or is optionally arranged to permit co-administration with one or more other (therapeutic) agents as described herein, but the compound and the agent are not in admixture. In an alternative variation, the compound and the agent are in admixture. In some embodiments, the two components to the kit/unit dose are packaged with instructions for administering the two agents to a human subject for treatment of one of the above-indicated disorders and diseases. The kit may comprise a composition described herein in combination with a vehicle in a cream or gel base, as a pump-spray, as an aerosol, on an impregnated bandage, or in a dropper.

This invention will be better understood by reference to the experimental details that follow, but those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that these are only illustrative of the invention as described more fully in the claims that follow thereafter. Particular embodiments and examples are not in any way intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed. Additionally, throughout this application, various publications are cited. The disclosure of these publications is hereby incorporated by reference into this application to describe more fully the state of the art to which this invention pertains.

EXAMPLES

Compound synthesis - Reaction schemes The compounds of the invention may be prepared by methods well known to those skilled in the art, and as described in the synthetic and experimental procedures shown below.

Hamamelitannin (HAM) has been identified as an antimicrobial potentiator, capable of increasing the susceptibility of S. aureus to existing antibiotics. To gain insight into the structure-activity relationship of HAM, as well as to discover analogues with enhanced potency, better drug-like properties and metabolic stability, we set out to synthesize structural analogues of hamamelitannin as to:

• explore the importance of the aromatic hydroxyl groups.

· replace the metabolically unstable ester groups in HAM with isosteric linker moieties.

• replace the central sugar moiety by a polysubstituted tetrahydrofuran ring.

With reference to the specific compounds of the present invention, the following reaction schemes and procedures may be used.

Scheme 1 describes the synthesis of a series of amide analogues of HAM (15-21 ). The desired compounds are synthesized from isopropylidene-D-ribonolactone. A key step is the aldol condensation of 2 with formaldehyde to afford the 2-C-hydroxymethyl derivative 3 (Simone ei al. , 2008). Bisazide scaffold 7, readily available from the branched azidolactole 3 via selective protection and deprotection of functional groups, functions as a precursor to generate a series of amide derivatives of HAM.

The central D-hamamelose scaffold is a monosaccharide with anomeric hydroxyl function. To assess the importance of the anomeric hydroxyl group, we synthesized analogues with a cyclic ether (tetrahydrofuran) scaffold. The synthetic strategy to remove the anomeric OH (with the formation of a cyclic ether) is shown in Scheme 2 (Bouisset ei a/., 2008; Taki ei a/., 2008). A key step is the tosylate-promoted cyclisation of ribitol 22. The rigidity of the dioxolane ring system ensures that only the c/s-bicylic compound 23 is formed. Tetrahydrofuran derivative 24 acts as a versatile orthogonally protected intermediate and gives access to different analogues with different amide groups, as exemplified in Scheme 2 and Scheme 6. Strong acid conditions allow removal of the acetonide to produce the final compounds (Scheme 8).

In addition to the amide derivatives described earlier, analogues with alternative linkers may be synthesized (Boren et al., 2008; Garcia-Moreno et al., 2000). Intermediate 26 serves to construct analogues with alternative linkers, as exemplified in Scheme 3: regioisomers 105 and 106 are synthesized via a copper- or ruthenium-catalyzed 1 ,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, respectively. Intermediate 33, readily available from 26 via Staudinger reduction, may give rise to sulfonamides 94-103). The 2-bromobenzenesulfonamide 103 serves as an intermediate that is used in the synthesis of biphenyl analogue 104 via a Suzuki cross-coupling (Scheme 4). The library is further extended with urea and thiourea derivatives 107 and 108 along with the amide derivatives 109 and 110. Benzylamine 112 is obtained via reductive amination of 33 with benzaldehyde. To obtain the final compounds, the 1 ,3-dioxolane is cleaved by treatment with aqueous trifluoroacetic acid (Scheme 8). Radical bromination of methyl 2-methylbenzoate and subsequent treatment with amine 33 afforded cyclic amide derivative 114 (Scheme 5).

Monoalkylation of the amide group in 2'-position was achieved via alkylation of intermediate 26 (Scheme 2). Intermediate 117 was subjected to a diazo transfer with freshly prepared TfN ₃ . Resulting azide 148 allowed monoalkylation on the 5-position of the molecule (Scheme 7).

Compound 264 differs from HAM in that the ester linkers are replaced by the metabolically more stable amides and the central sugar moiety is replaced by the cyclic ether structure that gives a more rigid pharmacophore. Scheme 9 shows how this derivative with two identical galloyl groups is synthesized.

In order to investigate the stereochemical requirements at C-4, compound 270 was synthesized. The synthesis starts from 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-ribonolactone (Scheme 10). After mesylation, this lactone was subjected to alkaline treatment with aqueous KOH. Finally, trituration in acetone gave rise to epimer 265 (Batra ef a/. , 2006). C-4 inversion occurs via an intermediate epoxide that is opened intramolecularly in a 5-exo-tet process.

Compound 265 was converted to the 2-C-branched-chain derivative 267 according to the method of Simone. Borohydride reduction, tosylate-promoted cyclisation and subsequent substitution with sodium azide gave intermediate 269. Reduction of this bis-azide scaffold with trimethylphosphine, coupling with benzoic acid and removal of the acetonide protecting group gave the desired 4-epimer.

General procedure 1 : synthesis of protected homodibenzamides 8-14 from bisazide 7.

To a solution of bisazide 7 in THF (0.2 M) was added Me ₃ P (1 M in THF, 10 eq.) and the mixture was stirred for 2h at rt. Water (100 μΙ_ per mmol bisazide) was added and stirring was continued for 15 minutes. The mixture was taken to dryness and co-evaporated twice with toluene. The crude bisamine was taken up in DMF (to a concentration of 0.1 M). EDC.HCI (3.0 eq.), DMAP (1 .0 eq.) HOBt (1 .0 eq.) and the appropriate carboxylic acid (2.5 eq.) were added and the mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was taken to dryness, the residue was redissolved in EtOAc, transferred to a separatory funnel and washed successively with HCI (1 M, twice) and NaHC0 ₃ (sat. aq., twice). The organic layer was dried (Na ₂ S0 ₄ ) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (CH ₂ CI ₂ /MeOH system) to yield the homobisbenzamide as a pale yellow foam (yields 85-95%).

General procedure 2: full deprotection of the homobisbenzamide derivatives 8-14 to compounds 15-21.

A solution of bisbenzamide (8-14) (0.05 M) in HOAc was placed under a N ₂ atmosphere. Palladium black (20 mg/mmol bisbenzamide) was added and the reaction vessel was purged again with N ₂ . Hydrogen gas was bubbled through the solution for 5h until all benzylethers were cleaved (MS analysis). The vessel was purged with nitrogen gas and the reaction mixture was filtered over a Whatman fiberglass filter. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, the residue redissolved in TFA (35% aq. solution) and stirred for 3h. The solution was concentrated and the residue was dissolved in a mixture of water and tBuOH (4:1 v/v). The mixture was frozen and lyophilized overnight yielding the product as an off white amorphous solid (yields 90%-quant.).

General procedure 3: Staudinger reduction

A solution of compounds 26-32 or azide 149 (0.4 to 0.6 mmol) in THF (10 mL/mmol) was treated with Me ₃ P (1 M solution, 5 eq.) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3h. Water (13 eq.) was added and the solution was stirred for another hour, after which it was concentrated. The residue was co-evaporated with toluene. The obtained crude amine was used without further purification. General procedure 4: EDC-mediated amide formation.

To a solution of amine 25, crude amine 33, the crude amines obtained after reduction of azides 27-32, amines 117-118, or the crude amines obtained after reduction of azide 149 in DMF (25 mL/mmol) were added the appropriate organic acid (1 .5 eq.), EDC.HCI (2 eq.), diisopropylethylamine (4 eq.) and a catalytic amount of 1 -hydroxybenzotriazole and the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at rt. The reaction mixture was concentrated and partioned between water and EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated. The products were then purified by column chromatography with appropriate eluents.

General procedure 5: formation of 5-sulfonamide derivatives 94-103 from amine 33.

A solution of the crude amine 33 in CH ₂ CI ₂ (20 mL/mmol) was cooled in an ice-bath, treated with triethylamine (2 eq.) and the appropriate sulfonyl chloride (1 eq.) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3h. When TLC indicated that the reaction was finished, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in EtOAc and washed with 0.1 M aq. HCI and sat. aq. NaHC0 ₃ solution. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography.

General procedure 6: one-pot Staudinger reduction and amide formation from phthalimide 24.

To a solution of phthalimide 24 in THF (10 mL/mmol) was added the appropriate acid chloride (2 eq.), followed by PMe ₃ (1 M solution in THF, 4 eq). Floculation was observed upon addition, after which the reaction mixture turned yellow. The RM was stirred overnight at rt. TLC analysis (toluene/EtOAc 1 :1 ) showed complete consumption of starting material. The RM was concentrated in vacuo and adsorbed onto celite. Purification via FCC (toluene/EtOAc 1 :0→ 1 :1 ) afforded compounds 115 and 116.

General procedure 7: Ing-Manske procedure for cleavage of phthalimides 115 and 116

To a solution of phthalimides 115-116 in EtOH (12 to 20 mL/mmol) was added hydrazine monohydrate (2 eq.). The RM was heated to 60 °C for 5h. When the reaction was complete (TLC toluene/EtOAc 1 :1 and CH ₂ CI ₂ /MeOH 9:1 ), the RM was concentrated in vacuo and the residue adsorbed onto celite. Purification via FCC (CH ₂ CI ₂ /MeOH/NH ₄ OH 100:0:1 → 85:15:1 ) afforded compounds 117 and 118. General procedure 8: deprotection - cleavage of acetonide.

A known amount of the isopropylidene protected compound was treated with a 35% aq. CF ₃ COOH solution (30 mL/mmol) overnight at room temperature. For the more lipophilic derivatives the reaction mixture was put at ultra sound for 2-3h. When TLC indicated that the deprotection was complete, the reaction mixture was concentrated and, if required, purified by column chromatography.

A flask containing a solution of azide 26 (0.15 g, 0.45 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was purged with nitrogen gas and treated with NaH (60% dispersion in mineral oil, 22 mg, 0.54 mmol). After 1 hour, Mel (56 μΙ_, 0.90 mmol) was added and the RM was stirred at RT overnight, after which mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF) analysis indicated incomplete consumption of SM and the formation of the desired compound. Further NaH (18 mg, 0.45 mmol) and Mel (56 μΙ_, 0.90 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred for 24h. Solid particles were separated by filtration and the filtrate was adsorbed onto celite.

Preparation of triflyl azide (TfN ): NaN ₃ (0.68 g, 10.45 mmol) was dissolved in water (8 mL) and cooled to 0 °C. After addition of CH ₂ CI ₂ (8 mL) the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. Tf ₂ 0 (0.352 mL, 2.09 mmol) was added dropwise over 1 minute. The RM was stirred vigorously at 0 °C and then extracted with DCM (2 x 3mL) and washed with aqueous saturated Na ₂ C0 ₃ solution (2 x 3 mL). The organic layer was saved for the diazo transfer reaction.

Diazo transfer reaction: amine 117 (0.32 g, 1 .05 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (8 mL), giving a clear solution. Et ₃ N (0.291 mL, 2.09 mmol) was added. A freshly prepared solution of CuS0 ₄ (1 .64 mg, 1 mol%) in water (3 mL) was added. The clear solution became turbid. The above- prepared TfN ₃ solution was added and the RM was stirred vigorously for 18h at rt. TLC analysis (toluene/EtOAc 6:4 and CH ₂ CI ₂ /MeOH 9:1 ) showed complete consumption of amine and presence of 1 large higher-running spot. The RM was concentrated in vacuo and adsorbed onto celite. Purification via FCC (toluene/EtOAc 10:0→ 6:4) gave the title compound as a colourless oil in 89.6% yield.

Compounds 1 to 3 were synthesized according to the procedure described in Simone, Edwards et al. 2008.

Compounds 22 and 23 were synthesized according to the procedure described in Bouisset, Gosselin et al. 2008. C. In vitro and in vivo assays

C.1 . Determination of the minimal inhibitory effect:

Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the hamamelitannin analogs were determined in triplicate according to the EUCAST broth microdilution protocol, using flat-bottom 96-well microtiter plates (TPP, Trasadingen, Switzerland). The inoculum was standardized to approximately 5 χ 10 ⁵ CFU/ml. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 20 h, and the optical density at 590 nm was determined by using a multilabel microtiter plate reader (Envision; Perkin-Elmer LAS, Waltham, MA). The lowest concentration of the compounds for which a similar optical density was observed in the inoculated and the blank wells was recorded as the MIC MIC values were observed to be higher than the highest concentration tested (MIC > 500 MM).

C.2. Effect of pre-treatment and combined treatment on biofilm susceptibility:

The compounds were evaluated for their effect on biofilm susceptibility both under pre- treatment and combination treatment regimens. In the pre-treatment regimen, a methicillin resistant S. aureus Mu50 strain (S. aureus ATCC700699) was allowed to form biofilms in the presence of the compounds after which the biofilm was treated with vancomycin (20 pg/ml). In the combination treatment regimen, S. aureus Mu50 was allowed to form a mature biofilm after which it was treated with a combination of a compound and vancomycin. In brief, 100 μΙ of a standardized inoculum (10 ⁸ CFU/ml) was placed in the wells of a round-bottom 96-well microtiter plate. The cells were allowed to adhere to the plate in the absence (combined treatment) or presence (pre-treatment) of the compounds (0.1 -250 μΜ) for 4h at 37°C. After this adhesion step, non-adhered cells were removed, the wells were rinsed and fresh medium with or without the compounds was added. The plates were incubated for an additional 20h at 37°C. After this, the medium was removed, biofilms were rinsed with physiological saline and vancomycin (20 pg/ml) was added alone (pre-treatment) or with the compounds (combined treatment, 0.1 -250 μΜ). Plates were placed at 37°C for 24h after which medium was removed, wells were rinsed and the surviving cells in each condition were collected. The number of surviving cells under each condition was compared to vancomycin treatment alone and was assessed by conventional plating. Results of these experiments are presented in Table 1 . The REF compound (hamamelitannin) was also observed for its effect on biofilm susceptibility towards other antibiotics (incl. vancomycin, cefoxitin, tobramycin, cefazolin, cefalonium, daptomycin, linezolide and cephalexin). Biofilms were formed as described above and were treated with the antibiotics alone or in combination with the REF compound (250 μΜ). The number of surviving cells under each condition was compared to the untreated control biofilm and was assessed by conventional plating. Results of these experiments are presented in Fig 3. C.3. The effect on in vivo survival of infected C. elegans nematodes:

The in vivo effect of treatment with the compound alone (Fig. 1 ) or a combined treatment with a compound and vancomycin (Fig. 2) was evaluated using a C. elegans model system (Brackman ef a/., 201 1 ). In brief, a suspension of synchronized worms (L4 stage) was divided into 24-well plates containing no bacteria or S. aureus Mu50 cells (2.5x10 ⁷ CFU). The nematodes received no treatment, a treatment with vancomycin alone or vancomycin in combination with a compound. The fraction of dead worms was determined 48h post-infection by counting the number of dead worms and the total number of worms in each condition using a dissecting microscope.

C.4. The in vivo effect of treatment with the compound alone or a combined treatment with a compound and cefalexin (Fig. 4) was evaluated using a murine intramammary S. aureus infection model, i.e. a model of S. aureus mastitis infection (Demon ef a/.,2012). In brief, CD-1 lactating mice (Harlan Laboratories Inc., Netherlands) were utilized 12-14 days after birth of the offspring. The pups were weaned 1-2 h before bacterial inoculation of the mammary glands. A mixture of oxygen and isoflurane (2-3%) was used for inhalational anesthesia of the lactating mice. A syringe with 32-gauge blunt needle (Thiebaud Biomedical Devices, France) was applied to inoculate both L4 (on the left) and R4 (on the right) glands of the fourth abdominal mammary gland pair with approximately 150 CFU of S. aureus. Each orifice was exposed by a small cut at the near end of the teat and 100 μΙ of the inoculum was injected slowly through the teat canal. The formulations containing REF, compound 171 , cefalexin or a combination of cefalexin and REF or compound 171 were instilled into the mammary gland of anesthetized mice using the desired dose ( g/gland) at 4 h after bacterial inoculation. Immediately thereafter the postoperative analgesic Buprecare (Codifar NV, Belgium) was administered intraperitoneally, i.e. at 4 h after bacterial inoculation. All groups were composed of 5 mice (10 mammary glands). After sacrifice of the mice by cervical dislocation at 14 h post- treatment, mammary glands (two per mouse) were harvested, weighed and homogenized on ice in sterile PBS using a tissue ruptor (QIAGEN Benelux BV, Netherlands). The mammary glands, which are structurally separate, were considered as individual samples. Bacterial CFU counts were obtained by standard plating.

Results of the above assays are detailed in the following table and figures. Table 1 : Effect of pre-treatment and combined treatment on biofilm susceptibility.

a: percentage Colony Forming Units (CFU's) per biofilm when biofilms are treated with VAN alone (20 μg ml) or in combination with HAM or a HAM-analogue compared to the untreated (negative) control, b: EC50 values are expressed as the concentration of the analogue needed to get 50% killing of the 5 bacteria compared to treatment with antibiotic alone (general activity of the antibiotic) and complete killing (max activity).

REF = hamamelitannin
