The interest in macrolide antibiotics is increasing because these compounds are a very effective and safe class of agents against gram positive pathogens.
Extensive spread of erythromycin A resistance among gram positive cocci isolates raised the urgent need for novel derivatives with improved activity, stability and antimicrobial spectra. The two most successful second generation agents derived from erythromycin A (1) through semisynthesis were its 6-0-methyl derivative clarithromycin (2) and the 15-membered azalide azithromycin (3) arising from a Beckman rearrangement (Figure 1). However, while featuring improved pharmacokinetics, none of these agents possessed a significant activity against bacterial isolates showing macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramine B (MLS B) cross resistance.
Figure 1
Many different semisynthetic third generation derivatives of the ketolide class of macrolide antibiotics have been described, the most potent being HMR 3647 or telithromycin (4) (EP 680967 Al (1995); FR 2732684 Al (1996); Bioorg. Med.
Chem. Lett. (1999), 9 (21), 3075-3080.) andABT 773 (WO 9809978 (1998); J. Med.
Chem. 2000,43,1045). However, none of these agents described thus far have been able to overcome constitutive MLS B resistance in Staphylococctts aureus.

If desired, compounds of formula I can be converted into a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt. The salt formation is effected at room temperature with methods which are known per se and which are familiar to any person skilled in the art. Not only salts with inorganic acids, but also salts with organic acids come into consideration. Hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulfates, nitrates, citrates, acetates, trifluoroacetates, maleates, succinates, methanesulphonates, p- toluenesulphonates and the like are examples of such salts.
Further the compounds can be converted into in vivo cleavable esters, for example into esters with the 2'-hydroxy group of the sugar moiety, such esters are e. g. acetates, pivaloyl esters, tartrates, maleates, succinates, and the like. These esters can be prepared according to methods known in the art, for example by reaction with an appropriate anhydride.
The compounds of the present invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts or in vivo cleavable esters thereof are useful as antibacterial therapeutics. Compounds of formula I possess excellent antibacterial activity against selected pathogenic bacteria such as strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. They can thus be used as medicaments for the treatment of infectious diseases especially of infectious diseases caused by staphylococci, such as septicemia, skin infections, soft tissue infections, deep infections after trauma, surgery or insertion of foreign material, pneumonia, arthritis, bursitis, and osteomyelitis, infections caused by streptococci such as septicemia, skin infections, soft tissue infections, deep infections after trauma, surgery or insertion of foreign material, pharyngitis, pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, bronchitis, otitis, sinusitis, and scarlet-fever.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I can be used as medicaments for the treatment of infections caused by germs such as Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, rickettsiae, ehrlichiae, Mycoplasme pneumoniae, Neisseria spp., Chlamydia spp, Legionella spp, Ureaplasma larealyticum or by susceptible strains of Mycobacterium spp.
The antibacterial activities of the compounds have been determined by standard microdilution technique (National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. 1997. Methods for dilution antimicrobial susceptibility tests for bacteria that grow aerobically, 4th edition. Approved standard M7-A4. National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards, Wayne, Pa).

The compounds in accordance with the invention can be used as medicaments. They possess good oral absorption properties. A further embodiment of the present invention are thus medicaments comprising compounds of formula I, their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts or in vivo cleavable esters thereof for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases, for example, in the form of pharmaceutical preparations for enteral (oral) administration. The products in accordance with the invention can be administered, for example, perorally, such as in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatin capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, or rectally, such as in the form oE
suppositories, or parenterally e. g. by injection, or locally for example by topical administration, preferably the compounds are administered orally.
Pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds can be prepared using conventional procedures familiar to those skilled in the art, such as by combining the ingredients into a dosage form together with suitable, non-toxic, inert, therapeutically compatible solid or liquid carrier materials and, if desired, the usual pharmaceutical adjuvants.
It is contemplated that the compounds are ultimately embodied into compositions of suitable oral, parenteral or topical dosage forms. The compositions of this invention can contain, as optional ingredients, any of the various adjuvants which are used ordinarily in the production of pharmaceutical preparations. Thus, for example, in formulating the present compositions into the desired oral dosage forms, one may use, as optional ingredients, fillers, such as coprecipitated aluminum hydroxide-calcium carbonate, dicalcium phosphate or lactose; disintegrating agents, such as maize starch; and lubricating agents, such as talc, calcium stearate, and the like. It should be fully understood, however, that the optional ingredients herein named are given by way of example only and that the invention is not restricted to the use hereof. Other such adjuvants, which are well known in the art, can be employed in carrying out this invention.
Suitable as such carrier materials are not only inorganic, but also organic carrier materials. Thus, for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatin capsules there can be used, for example, lactose, maize starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts. Suitable carriers for soft gelatin capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats and semi-solid and liquid polyols (depending on the nature of the active substance; no carriers are, however, required in the case of soft gelatin capsules). Suitable carrier materials for the preparation of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, saccharose, invert sugar and glucose.
Suitable carrier materials for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats and semi-liquid or liquid polyols.
As pharmaceutical adjuvants there are contemplated the usual preservatives, solubilizers, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorings, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, coating agents and antioxidants.
The compounds of formula I and their acid addition salts or in vivo cleavable esters thereof can be used for parenteral administration and for this purpose are
preferably made into preparations for injection as lyophilisates or dry powders for dilution with customary agents, such as water or isotonic common salt solution.
The compounds of formula I and their acid addition salts or in vivo cleavable esters thereof can be used for topical administration and for this purpose are preferably made into preparations as ointments, cremes or gels.
For the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in mammals, human and non-human, a daily dosage of about 10 mg to about 2000 mg, especially about 50 mg to about 1000 mg, is usual, with those of ordinary skill in the art appreciating that the dosage will depend also upon the age, conditions of the mammals, and the kind of diseases being prevented or treated. The daily dosage can be administered in a single dose or can be divided over several doses. An average single dose of about 100 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg and 1000 mg can be contemplated.
The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by method well known in the art, e. g. by chemical modification of the readily available template molecule 2'-0-acetyl-4"-0-benzyloxy-carbonyl-6-0-methyl-11-deoxy-10, 11- didehydroerythromycin A (6) first described by Baker et al. in J. Org. Chem. 1988,53,2340-2345. The template molecule (6) was synthesized by means of modified procedures published by Baker et al. in J. Org. Chem. 1988,53,2340-2345 and Agouridas et al. in J. Med. Chem.
1998,41,4080-4100, i. e. starting from the semisynthetic 6-0-methyl derivative clarithromycin (2) according to the procedure depicted in Scheme 1.
Scheme 1
Scheme 1: Reagents and conditions: a) Ac20, CH2Cl2, room temp; b) PhCH20COCI, DMAP, CH2CI2,-30°C ; c) NaHMDS, 1,1'- carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), THF,-78°C ; d) DBU, benzene, reflux.
The 2'-hydroxy group of the desosamine moiety of darithromycin (2) was selectively protected by treatment with acetic anhydride in methylene chloride without addition of base to give compound 7 in near quantitative yield.
Subsequently, a benzyloxycarbonyl protecting group was introduced selectively to the 4"-hydroxy group by treatment of 7 with benzyl chloroformiate and 4- dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) in methylene chloride at-30 °C to give doubly protected clarithromycin 8. Further treatment of 8 with sodium hexamethyldisilazane and carbonyldiimidazole in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at-78 °C gave cyclic carbonate 19. Cyclic carbonate 19 was subsequently subjected to ß- elimination with 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU) in refluxing benzene to give the protected enone 6 in excellent yield.

The hydroxy group at position 12 of compound 6 is esterified by treatment with an appropriate carboxylic acid (RtCOOH), N, N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and N, N'-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) in a chlorinated solvent such as
methylene chloride or dichloroethane (reaction A). Following extractive work up, the crude product is purified by flash chromatography to give the corresponding ester with the general formula IV.
The same compound can be obtained in an alternative way by the following two reaction steps: Compound 6 is esterified with a 2-haloacetic acid such as chloroacetic acid or bromoacetic acid (reaction B) under identical conditions as described above in reaction A to give haloacetyl derivative IX.
Haloacetyl derivative IX is then treated with a suitable thiol (RlH) in the presence of a base such as 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene (DBU), K2CO3, NEt3, in acetone until no starting material remains (reaction C). The reaction typically lasts from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Following aqueous work up, the crude material is purified by silica gel flash chromatography to give the product IV in high yield. In a similar way, treatment of haloacetyl derivative IX with a tetraalkylammoniumcyanide such as tetraethylammoniumcyanide results in the formation of a compound with formula I wherein R1 is-CN.
Compound IV is then treated with an alkali metal base such as NaH or potassium tert.-butoxide in an aprotic solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF) or tetrahydrofuran (THF) at temperatures ranging from-20°C to 20°C for 30 minutes to 5 hours (reaction D) until no starting material remains as judged by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The amount of base is usually 1 to 3 equivalents relative to the starting compound. The reaction mixture is then partitioned between diethylether and 0.5 M KH2PO4. The crude material isolated from the extraction step is further purified by silica gel flash chromatography to give the product V as a mixture of two diasteromers in various ratios.
Selective cleavage of the cladinose moiety of V is carried out by the methods known to the art with 1 to 5% HCl in an alcolholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol for 12 to 72 hours at a temperature preferably from-15°C to 40°C (reaction E). The solvent is then removed and the crude product is taken up in an appropriate organic solvent. The solution is washed with a basic aqueous solution ranging from pH 8-13. The crude product obtained from the extraction step is then further purified by silica gel flash chromatography to give VI as a mixture of two diasteromers in various ratios.
Oxidation of VI is carried out with 1, 2-dichloroethane EDC'HCl, dimethoxy- sulfoxide (DMSO) and pyridinium trifluoroacetate in a chlorinated solvent such as methylene chloride or dichloroethane at temperatures ranging from-15°C to room temperature for 1 to 5 hours as described by Agouridas et al. in J. Med. Chem. 1998, 41, 4080-4100, (reaction F). The reaction mixture is then quenched with NaHC03- solution, separated from the aqueous phase, dried and evaporated to give the crude product that is further purified by silica gel flash chromatography to give ketolide VII as a mixture of two diasteromers in various ratios.
The oxidation of VI can also be carried out using (1, 1, 1-triacetoxy)-1, 1- dihydro-1, 2-benziodoxol-3-(lH)-one (Dess-Martin reagent) in a chlorinated solvent such as methylene chloride at temperatures ranging from-20°C to room temperature for 1 to 5 hours as described by S. F. Martin et al. in J. Am. Chem. Soc 1997,119,3193-3194.
Final deprotection of the 2'-hydroxy group of VII is achieved by stirring the compound in an alcoholic solvent such as methanol or ethanol for 12 to 72 hours (reaction G). The solvent is evaporated to give the desired deprotected product of formula I as a single diasteromer.
