2-AMINO-1 ,3,4-THIADIAZINE AND 2-AMINO-1 ,3,4-OXADIAZINE

BASED ANTIFUNGAL AGENTS

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to compounds which are diazines of formula (I). The compounds may be used in the treatment of an animal or human body. The compound may, for example, be used for treating or preventing fungal infection.

Background

Invasive fungal infections are well recognised as diseases of the immunocompromised host. Over the last twenty years there have been significant rises in the number of recorded instances of fungal infection (Groll et al., 1996. J Infect 33, 23-32). In part this is due to increased awareness and improved diagnosis of fungal infection. However, the primary cause of this increased incidence is the vast rise in the number of susceptible individuals. This is due to a number of factors including new and aggressive immunosuppressive therapies, increased survival in intensive care, increased numbers of transplant procedures and the greater use of antibiotics worldwide.

In certain patient groups, fungal infection occurs at high frequency; lung transplant recipients have a frequency of up to 20% colonisation and infection with a fungal organism and fungal infection in allogenic haemopoetic stem cell transplant recipients is as high as 15% (Ribaud et al., 1999, Clin Infect Dis. 28:322-30).

Conventional treatment of fungal infections rely on four classes of antifungal drug: the polyenes (e.g., amphotericin B), the azoles (e.g., ketoconazole or itraconazole), the echinocandins (e.g., caspofungin) and flucytosine. The polyenes are the oldest class of antifungal agent being first introduced in the 1950's. The exact mode of action remains unclear but polyenes are only effective against organisms that contain sterols in their outer membranes. It has been proposed that amphotericin B interacts with membrane sterols to produce pores allowing leakage of cytoplasmic components and subsequent cell death.

Azoles work by inhibition of the 14a-demethylase via a cytochrome P450-dependent mechanism. This leads to a depletion of the membrane sterol ergosterol and the

accumulation of sterol precursors resulting in a plasma membrane with altered fluidity and structure. Echinocandins work by the inhibition of the cell wall synthetic enzyme β-glucan synthase. This leads to abnormal cell wall formation, osmotic sensitivity and cell lysis. Flucytosine is a pyrimidine analogue interfering with cellular pyrimidine metabolism as well DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. However widespread resistance to flucyotosine limits its therapeutic use.

Conventional antifungal agents act primarily against only two cellular targets; membrane sterols (polyenes and azoles) and β-glucan synthase (echinocandins). However, resistance to both azoles and polyenes has been widely reported leaving only the recently introduced echinocandins to combat invasive fungal infections. As the use of echinocandins increases, resistance by fungi will inevitably occur. There is therefore a pressing need for new classes of antifungal agent.

Summary of the Invention

The present inventors have found that compounds which are diazines of formula (I) are active as anti-fungal agents. In particular, the compounds inhibit the growth of human pathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus and therefore may be used to treat fungal infection and disease. The compounds exhibit broad spectrum activity across a range of moulds and yeasts including those associated with 'difficult to treat' infections.

interdigitale), Absidia (e.g. Absidia coerulea, Absidia corymbifera, Absidia cylindrospora, Absidia ginsan, Absidia glauca, Absidia spinosa), Rhizopus (e.g. Rhizopus oryzae), Fusarium (e.g. Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium proliferatum, Fusani solani), and Scedosporium (e.g. Scedosporium prolifwans). For example, the fungal infection may be one caused by a pathogenic fungus, such as a fungus selected from Candida, Aspergillus (e.g. Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus), Cryptococcus (e.g. Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus laurentii, Cryptococcus albidus Cryptococcus gattii), Histoplasma (e.g. Histoplasma capsulatum), Pneumocystis (e.g. Pneumocystis jirovecii and Pneumocystis carinii), Stachybotrys (e.g. Stachybotrys chartarum), Trichophyton (e.g. T. rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, Trichophyton concentricum, T. interdigitale), Absidia (e.g. Absidia coerulea, Absidia corymbifera, Absidia cylindrospora, Absidia ginsan, Absidia glauca, Absidia spinosa), Rhizopus (e.g. Rhizopus oryzae), Fusarium (e.g. Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium proliferatum, Fusani solani), and Scedosporium (e.g. Scedosporium prolifwans). Preferably, the fungal infection is one caused by Aspergillus or Candida, in particular caused by C albicans, C parapsilosis, C tropicalis, C glabrata, C krusei, A. niger, A. fumigatus, A. terreus, A. flavus, A. terreus 49, or A. fumigatus 210, e.g. Candida for example C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata or C. krusei. Preferably, the compound described herein is active against two or more, e.g. two, three or four, different fungi, for example two or more (e.g. 2, 3 or 4) of the fungi described above. Thus, the treatment of the invention may be the prevention or treatment of fungal infection caused by two or more (e.g. 2, 3 or 4) different fungi. A therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of the compound, composition or product as described herein is administered to a subject. In one aspect, the subject is a mammal, in particular a human. However, it may be non-human. Preferred non-human animals include, but are not limited to, primates, such as marmosets or monkeys,

commercially farmed animals, such as horses, cows, sheep or pigs, and pets, such as dogs, cats, mice, rats, guinea pigs, ferrets, gerbils or hamsters. The subject can be any animal that is capable of being infected by a fungus.

A physician will be able to determine the required route of administration and dosage for any particular subject. A typical daily dose is from about 0.01 to 100 mg per kg, preferably from about 0.1 mg/kg to 50 mg/kg, e.g. from about 1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight, according to the activity of the specific agent, the age, weight and conditions of the subject to be treated, the type and severity of the disease and the frequency and route of administration. Preferably, daily dosage levels are from 5mg to 2g. The precise amount of the agent which is therapeutically effective, and the most efficacious route for therapeutic administration, is readily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art by comparing the blood level of the agent to the concentration required to have a therapeutic effect.

Ustilago maydis.

The present invention includes a composition comprising a compound as described herein, or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof, and an agriculturally acceptable carrier or diluent. In one embodiment of the invention, the composition further comprises a second antifungal agent. Said agricultural composition typically contains up to 85 wt% of a compound of the invention. More typically, it contains up to 50 wt% of a compound of the invention. When used in an agricultural composition, the skilled person will readily be able to determine suitable levels of administration. As examples, the antifungal agent(s) can be used at a level of from 5g to 10kg per hectare, for example from lOg to 5kg per hectare, for example from lOOg to 2kg per hectare.

Suitable agriculturally acceptable salts include salts with agriculturally acceptable acids, both inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, diphosphoric, hydrobromic or nitric acid and organic acids such as citric, fumaric, maleic, malic, ascorbic, succinic, tartaric, benzoic, acetic, methanesulphonic, ethanesulphonic, benzenesulphonic or p-toluenesulphonic acid. Salts may also be formed with agriculturally acceptable bases such as alkali metal (e.g. sodium or potassium) and alkaline earth metal (e.g. calcium or magnesium) hydroxides and organic bases such as alkyl amines, aralkyl amines or heterocyclic amines. A preferred agriculturally acceptable salt is the hydrochloride salt.

The compounds described herein, and optional second antifungal agents, may be applied in combination with inert carriers or diluents, as in aqueous sprays, granules and dust formulations in accordance with established practice in the art. An aqueous spray is usually prepared by mixing a wettable powder or emulsifiable concentrate formulation of a compound of the invention with a relatively large amount of water to form a dispersion.

Wettable powders may comprise an intimate, finely divided mixture of a compound of the invention, an inert solid carrier and a surface-active agent. The inert solid carrier is usually chosen from among the attapulgite clays, the kaolin clays, the montmorillonite clays, the diatomaceous earths, finely divided silica and purified silicates. Effective surfactants, which have wetting, penetrating and dispersing ability are usually present in a wettable powder formulation in proportions of from 0.5 to 10 percent by weight. Among the surface active agents commonly used for this purpose are the sulfonated lignins, naphthalenesulfonates and condensed naphthalenesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, alkyl sulfates and non-ionic surfactants such as products of condensation of ethylene oxide with alkylphenols.

Emulsifiable concentrates may comprise a solution of a compound of the invention in a liquid carrier which is a mixture of a water-immiscible solvent and a surfactant, including an emulsifier. Useful solvents include aromatic hydrocarbon solvents such as the xylenes, alkylnaphthalenes, petroleum distillates, terpene solvents, ether-alcohols and organic ester solvents. Suitable emulsifiers, dispersing and wetting agents may be selected from the same classes of products which are employed in formulating wettable powders. The fungicide formulations desirably contain from 0.1 percent to 95 percent by weight of the compound of the invention, or in the case of a combination of antifungal agents the total weight of antifungal agent, and from 0.1 to 75 percent of an inert carrier or surfactant. The direct application to plant seeds prior to planting may be accomplished in some instances by mixing either a powdered solid compound of the invention or a dust formulation with seed to obtain a substantially uniform coating which is very thin and represents only one or two percent by weight or less, based on the weight of the seed. In some instances, however, a non-phytotoxic solvent such as methanol is conveniently employed as a carrier to facilitate the uniform distribution of the compound of the invention on the surface of the seed.

When a compound as described ehrein, or in the case of a combination of antifungal agents one of the antifungal agents used, is to be applied to the soil, as for pre-emergence protection, granular formulations or dusts are sometimes more convenient than sprays. A typical granular formulation comprises a compound of the invention dispersed on an inert carrier such as coarsely ground clay, or clay which has been converted to granules by treatment of a rolling bed of the powdered material with a small amount of liquid in a granulating drum. In the usual process for preparing granular formulations, a solution of the active compound is sprayed on the granules while they are being agitated in a suitable mixing apparatus, after which the granules are dried with a current of air during continued agitation. Dust formulations customarily employ essentially the same inert diluents as wettable powders and granules, but are well-mixed in powder form and do not usually contain emulsifiers. Dusts may contain some surface active agents to facilitate uniform distribution of the active ingredient in the formulation and to improve the uniformity and adhesion of the dust coating on seeds and plants. The colloidal dispersion of dust formulations in the air is usually prevented by incorporation of a minor amount of an oily or waxy material in the formulation to cause agglomeration of colloidal size particles. In this way the dust may be applied to seeds or plants without generation of an air-polluting aerosol.

The following Examples illustrate the invention. They do not however, limit the invention in any way. In this regard, it is important to understand that the particular assay used in the Examples section is designed only to provide an indication of biological activity. There are many assays available to determine biological activity, and a negative result in one assay is therefore not determinative. Examples

NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian Mercury plus at 25°C at 400 MHz for ¾ and 101 MHz for 13 C. Data is presented as follows: chemical shift (ppm), multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, m = multiplet, br = broad, app = apparent), coupling constant (Hz), integration. The solvent residual peak was used as an internal standard (CD3OD ¾: 3.31 ppm, 13 C: 49 ppm; DMSO-ife ¾: 2.50 ppm and CDCh ¾: 7.26 ppm). The compounds prepared were given IUPAC names obtained from the software Accelrys draw 4.2 and Dotmatics. In addition, the commercial or trivial names were used for many of the commercial available starting materials and reagents. Yields are calculated on the assumption that the amino thiadiazine compounds are isolated as the free base except when explicitly indicated in the title.

Example 118 Minimum inhibitory concentration

Between 1 and 5 mgs of compound were accurately weighed out into a sterile Eppendorf tube. The compound was dissolved in DMSO to give a solution containing 5 mg/mL. Tubes were stored at -20 °C until required.

On the day of testing thawed solutions were vortex mixed to ensure homogeneity. 30 μΐ. of solution was removed and added to 570 μΐ. of sterile water in a separate sterile Eppendorf. The thoroughly mixed solution was used to prepare a series of doubling dilutions in water, in a deep well plate. Thirteen replicate plates were prepared using a Minitrak by aspirating 20 μΐ. from each well into eleven clear polystyrene 96 well plates. Spores of Aspergillus spp. {Aspergillus fumigatus [two strains], Aspergillus terreus [two strains], Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus) were harvested from cultures grown on Sabarauds agar for 5 days, and resuspended in PBS/Tween 80 to approx lxlO 7 cfu/mL. Each organism suspension was diluted in YAG medium (1% glucose, 1% ammonium chloride and 0.5% yeast extract) to 0.5-2xl0 4 cfu/mL. 80 of an organism suspension was added to each well of the plate containing drug dilutions.

This typically produced MIC plates with a drug range 50-0.05 mg/L and organism inocula of l-2xl0 4 cfu/mL for Aspergillus spp.. All plates were incubated for 24 hrs at 35 °C. Growth was assessed by monitoring the optical density at 485 nm for each well. The MIC of a compound is the lowest drug concentration that inhibits growth of an organism by >70% compared with a drug free control. MICs are recorded as mg/L. In cases where the MIC of an organism is >=0.05 mg/L the MIC is repeated using a concentration range of 0.5 - 0.0005 mg/L. Assays were also performed in RPMI medium (Roswell Park Memorial Media 1640). To perform MIC tests in this medium, dilutions of compounds are prepared in microtitre plates as described above. Fungal strains to be tested are grown and harvested in an identical manner to that described above, and each organism suspension was diluted in RPMI medium, typically containing 2% glucose and 0.135 M MOPS buffer (pH 7.0) to 0.5-2xl0 4 cfu/mL, rather than in YAG medium. 80 [iL of an organism suspension was added to each well of the plate containing drug dilutions.

This produced MIC plates with a drug range 50-0.05 mg/L and organism inocula of l-2xl0 4 cfu/mL. All plates were incubated for 24-48 hrs at 35 °C. Growth was assessed by monitoring the optical density at 485 nm for each well. The MIC of a compound is the lowest drug concentration that inhibits growth of an organism by >80% compared with a drug free control. The following organisms were tested: C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, C. krusei, A. niger, A. fumigatus, A. terreus, A. flavus, A. terreus 49, and A. fumigatus 210.

Results are shown in Table 1. In this table, the MIC results have been banded into grades as follows:

YAG media: 1: > 5 mg/L; 2: 1-5 mg/L; 3: 0.2-1 mg/L; 4: <0.2 mg/L

RPMI media: 1: > 20 mg/L; 2: 5-20 mg/L; 3: 1-5 mg/L; 4: <1 mg/L

As can be seen, MIC values indicated the potential for broad spectrum activity with MIC values appearing more potent in YAG media.
