Abstract:
The invention relates to the novel antibiotic HKI10311129 which has a molecular weight of 1113 and the summation formula C56H75NO22. The invention also relates to a method for producing said antibiotic using the microorganism Streptomyces spec. DSM 13059, and to the use thereof as an antibacterial substance which is especially effective against infections with Gram positive bacteria, especially antibiotic-resistant germs.
Abstract:
This invention relates to new benzoxazinedione derivatives corresponding to the formula I: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 =H or carboxyalkyl, R.sup.2 =H, alkyl or phenyl, and R.sup.3 represents different acid groups derived from amino acids, dipeptides and hydrazones or conjugates thereof with active ingredients, e.g. antibiotics. The compounds may be present as free acids, in the form of their salts or as readily cleavable esters. The compounds according to the invention constitute heterocyclically protected catechol derivatives and are effective as siderophores against gram-negative bacterial strains, particularly against Pseudomonads and strains of E. coli and Salmonella. In the form of their conjugates with active ingredients, e.g. antibiotics (as "siderophore-antibiotic conjugates"), they can transport the latter into bacterial cells and can improve or extend the antibacterial effect thereof, sometimes even in relation to bacterial strains which are resistant to other .beta.-lactams. In addition, said compounds, as potential prodrug forms for iron chelating agents, are suitable for use against diseases which are caused by a disorder of the iron metabolism. The invention can be employed in pharmaceutical research and in the pharmaceutical industry, and in agriculture.
Abstract:
Polycyclic phthalazines, in particular 2-substituted maduraphthalazines (10,12,15,16-tetrahydroxy-8-methoxy-11-methyl-1,9,14-trioxo-1,2,6,7,9,14-hexahydronaphthaceno-1,2-g-phthalazines), of formula I and their use against gram-positive bacterial strains, particularly against multi-resistant staphylococci (MRSA) and against glycopeptide-resistant, for example vancomycin-resistant, enterococci. The polycyclic phthalazines are thus suitable for preparing anti-bacterially effective pharmaceutical compositions. In formula I, R.sup.1 is carboxyalkyl or carboxyaryl, and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 represent H or acyl (for example CO-alkyl or COO-alkyl), with R.sup.1 being different from optionally substituted carboxyphenyl when R.sup.3 represents C.sub.1-8 alkanoyl. The invention also relates to salts, amides and esters of compounds of formula I.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of Formula (I) or salts thereof wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and other variables enumerated under one or more of same are as defined herein. Compounds of Formula I have activity as antimicrobial agents. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating and preventing microbial infections in mammals, for example, a tuberculosis or leprosy infection, which employ compounds of Formula (I) or salts thereof.
Abstract:
Catechol derivatives of general formula (I) in which R1 denotes O-acyl and R2 represents amino acid residues in the 3- and/or 4-position function as siderophores and/or as biological chelating agents for iron in gram-negative bacteria. Conjugates with antibiotics improve penetration into bacterial cells, thereby increasing antibacterial efficacy of the cells.
