Pharmaceutical Compositions and Administration In one aspect, the present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts as defined above and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions are described in Examples 1 to 4. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts as defined above and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for the treatment or prevention of infections and resulting diseases, particularly bacteremia, pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract infection, and wound infection, caused by pathogens, particularly by bacteria, more particularly caused by Acinetobacter species, most particularly by Acinetobacter baumannii. The compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used as medicaments (e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations). The pharmaceutical preparations can be administered internally, such as orally (e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragées, hard and soft gelatin capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions), nasally (e.g. in the form of nasal sprays) or rectally (e.g. in the form of suppositories). However, the administration can also be effected parentally, such as intramuscularly or intravenously (e.g. in the form of injection solutions or infusion solutions). The compounds of formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be processed with pharmaceutically inert, inorganic or organic excipients for the production of tablets, coated tablets, dragées and hard gelatin capsules. Lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acid or its salts etc. can be used, for example, as such excipients for tablets, dragées and hard gelatin capsules. Suitable excipients for soft gelatin capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi- solid substances and liquid polyols, etc. Suitable excipients for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, saccharose, invert sugar, glucose, etc. Suitable excipients for injection solutions are, for example, water, alcohols, polyols, glycerol, vegetable oils, etc. Suitable excipients for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats, semi- solid or liquid polyols, etc. Moreover, the pharmaceutical preparations can contain preservatives, solubilizers, viscosity- increasing substances, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorants, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, masking agents or antioxidants. They can also contain still other therapeutically valuable substances. The dosage can vary in wide limits and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case. In general, in the case of oral administration a daily dosage of about 0.1 mg to 20 mg per kg body weight, preferably about 0.5 mg to 4 mg per kg body weight (e.g. about 300 mg per person), divided into preferably 1-3 individual doses, which can consist, for example, of the same amounts, should be appropriate. It will, however, be clear that the upper limit given herein can be exceeded when this is shown to be indicated. Co-Administration of Compounds of Formula (I) and Other Agents The compounds of formula (I) or salts thereof or a compound disclosed herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may be employed alone or in combination with other agents for treatment. For example, the second agent of the pharmaceutical combination formulation or dosing regimen may have complementary activities to the compound of formula (I) such that they do not adversely affect each other. The compounds may be administered together in a unitary pharmaceutical composition or separately. In one embodiment a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be co-administered with an antibiotic, in particular with an antibiotic for the treatment or prevention of infections and resulting diseases caused by Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter species or E. coli, or a combination therof. The term "co-administering" refers to either simultaneous administration, or any manner of separate sequential administration, of a compound of formula (I) or a salt thereof or a compound disclosed herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a further active pharmaceutical ingredient or ingredients, including antibiotic agents. If the administration is not simultaneous, the compounds are administered in a close time proximity to each other. Furthermore, it does not matter if the compounds are administered in the same dosage form, e.g. one compound may be administered intravenously and another compound may be administered orally. Typically, any agent that has antimicrobial activity may be co-administered. Particular examples of such agents are Carbapenems (meropenem), Fluoroquinolone (Ciprofloxacin), Aminoglycoside (amikacin), Tetracyclines (tigecycline), Colistin, Sulbactam, Sulbactam+Durlobactam, Cefiderocol (Fetroja), macrocyclic peptides as exemplified e.g. in WO 2017072062 A1, WO 2019185572 A1 and WO 2019206853 A1, and Macrolides (erythromycin).

In one aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical combination comprising a compound of formula (I) described herein and an additional therapeutic agent. In one embodiment, said additional therapeutic agent is an antibiotic agent. In one embodiment, said additional therapeutic agent is an antibiotic agent that is useful for the treatment or prevention of infections and resulting diseases caused by Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter species or E. coli, or a combination therof. In one embodiment, said additional therapeutic agent is an antibiotic agent selected from Carbapenems (meropenem), Fluoroquinolone (Ciprofloxacin), Aminoglycoside (amikacin), Tetracyclines (tigecycline), Colistin, Sulbactam, Sulbactam+Durlobactam, Cefiderocol (Fetroja), macrocyclic peptides as exemplified in WO 2017072062 A1, WO 2019185572 A1 and WO 2019206853 A1, and Macrolides (erythromycin).

Assay procedures Antimicrobial susceptibility testing: 90% Growth Inhibitory Concentration (IC90) determination The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the compounds was determined according to the following procedure: The assay used a 10-points Iso-Sensitest broth medium to measure quantitatively the in vitro activity of the compounds against Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17961 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853. Stock compounds in DMSO were serially twofold diluted (e.g. range from 50 to 0.097 µM final concentration) in 384 wells microtiter plates and inoculated with 49 µl the bacterial suspension in Iso-Sensitest medium to have a final cell concentration of ~ 5x10 (5) CFU/ml in a final volume/well of 50 ul/well. Microtiter plates were incubated at 35 ± 2 °C. Bacterial cell growth was determined with the measurement of optical density at λ=600nm each 20 minutes over a time course of 16h. Growth inhibition was calculated during the logarithmic growth of the bacterial cells with determination of the concentration inhibiting 50% (IC50) and 90% (IC90) of the growth. Table 1 provides the 90% growth inhibitory concentrations (IC90) in micromoles per liter of the compounds of present invention obtained against the strain Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17961. Particular compounds of the present invention exhibit an IC90 (Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17961) ≤ 25 µmol/l. More particular compounds of the present invention exhibit an IC90 (Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC17961) ≤ 5 µmol/l.
