Present invention refers to the new biologically active polyimino ketoaldehyde compounds of and their antibacterial properties, pharmaceutical preparations containing compounds of poly(imino) ketoaldehydes as an active substance, their use in the treatment of bacterial infections and their preparation process.
Polyimino ketoaldehydes are, according to the present invention, compounds with general formula I:
where ni is the number of carbon atoms connected to nitrogen atom by a double bond and can take values between 25 and 41, and where n 2 is the number of -CH 2 - groups and can take values between 15 and 23, as well as their biologically acceptable salts and solvates.
In one of the variants of the invention, _ni can take values 25, 33, or 41 , and n 2 can take values 15, 19, or 23, as well as their biologically acceptable salts and/or solvates.
In particular, the present invention relates to the compound with the formula:
where ni has a value of 33, and n 2 a value of 19. The chemical name of the compound in which ni=33, and n 2 =19 is l-amino-tetratriacontyl-henicosa-20-on-21 -al, and its generic name is Varoxicilin.
In order to obtain the compound according to the subject invention, a biotransformation of substrate with enzymes was performed in which the substrate can be selected from the group consisting of glycine, L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, 2-aminobutyric acid, 4- metiltreonin and D-alanine, whereas the enzyme is selected from a group consisting of cyclosporine-A synthetase (hereinafter: cAs), nonribosomal peptide synthetase 1 (hereinafter: NRPS l).
The biotransformation itself occurs in the following phases:
1. Substrate activation to form an adenylate (ATP) at the adenylation domain of the enzyme.
2. Esterification of the activated amino acid with thiol group of pantothenic residue, by which the aminoacyl group is transferred to the thiolation domain of the enzyme and a corresponding thioester is created.
3. In an acidic medium, the esterified amino acids are joined together in a way that results in the creation of a compound with general formula I.
Hence, regardless of the substrate used, the adenylade domain forms acyl-adenylate substrate which uses a covalent bond to join substrate molecule to phosphopantetheine thus forming a cross-linked thioester which further transforms into a compound with general formula I, in particular l-amino-tetratriacontyl- henicosa-20-on-21 -al in the form of white precipitate which is purified by alternate washing in acid and water.
In order to obtain a compound with general formula I, apart from substrates and enzymes, one also needs adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and cofactors. Mg 2+ was used as a cofactor. The cofactor is added in the reaction mixture in the form of magnesium sulphate with halogen or chalcogen elements. In addition, a buffer for the suspension of enzymes is also necessary, which is used for keeping the pH -level of the reaction mixture within the neutral range, i.e. within a pH range between 6 and 7. The appropriate buffer is any buffer that maintains the pH value within the stated range, for example acetate buffer. The reaction for obtaining the compound with general formula 1 is performed in the manner that the buffered components of reaction mixture consisting of Mg 2+ , ATP and substrates are mixed in the acetate buffer in a reactor, and the reaction is initiated by adding the enzyme suspension to the buffer. The reaction is performed at room temperature, i.e. at a temperature between 18 °C and 30 °C or, ideally, between 23 °C and 28 °C. The preferred temperature for the execution of the procedure for obtaining a compound with general formula I is 27 °C. pH value is continuously measured with a pH meter and , if necessary, maintained at optimal pH conditions with basis such as water solution of NaOH. The reaction is stoped with acid water solution, after which the reaction mixture cools down. During the cooling period, a white precipitate is formed which is washed with acid and water alternately.
The second aspect of the invention concerns the pharmaceutical composition which contains an active amount of the compound with general formula I or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates in pharmaceutical variant that is appropriate for parenteral use, oral administration and intravenous use. Apart from the active compound, according to the subject invention, the pharmaceutical composition can contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as carriers, lubricants, glidants, dyes, fillers, i.e. binders, disintegrants and surfactants.
In case of pharmaceutical variant for oral administration, the pharmaceutical preparation can be compressed to give pellets, granules, tablets, blisters, capsules, tablets with controlled release of active substance. All pharmaceutical preparations, apart from the active substance, can contain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Excipients can be selected from a group of carriers, binders, fillers, surfactants, disintegrants, glidants, lubricants and other known pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
Carriers are selected from a group of known pharmaceutically acceptable carriers such as protein nanoparticles, polypeptides, liposomes, polymeric micelles, microspheres and mixtures of two or more known carriers. The above examples of carriers are for illustrative purposes only and the selection of carriers is in no way limited to the above examples or their mixtures.
Binders -fillers are selected from a group of known pharmaceutically acceptable binders- fillers such as sucrose, lactose, starch, cellulose, mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, microcrystalline cellulose, siliconized microcrystalline cellulose, calcium hydrogen phosphate, calcium carbonate, calcium lactate and mixtures of two or more known pharmaceutically acceptable binders-fillers. The above examples of binders-fillers are for illustrative purposes only and the selection of binders-fillers is in no way limited to the above examples or their mixtures.
Surfactants are selected from a group of known pharmaceutically acceptable surfactants such as fatty acid esters, polysorbates, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxamers, triglycerides, polyoxylglycerides or mixtures of two or more known pharmaceutically acceptable surfactants. The above examples of surfactants are for illustrative purposes only and the selection of surfactants is in no way limited to the above examples or their mixtures. Disintegrants are selected from a group of known pharmaceutically acceptable disintegrants such as cross-linked polymers, for example carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone or mixtures thereof. The above examples of disintegrants are for illustrative purposes only and the selection of disintegrants is in no way limited to the above examples or their mixtures.
Glidants and lubricants are selected from a group of pharmaceutically known glidants and lubricants such as talc, silica powder, magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, or a mixture of two or more known pharmaceutically acceptable glidants and lubricant. The above examples of glidants and lubricants are for illustrative purposes and the selection of glidants and lubricants is in no way limited to the above examples or their mixtures.
