The quantity of active component, that is the compound of Formula I or II
according to this invention, in the pharmaceutical composition and unit dosage form thereof may be varied or adjusted widely depending upon the particular applic~tio~, 20 the potency of the particular compound, the desired con~ntration. Generally, the quantity of active component will range between 0.5~ to 90~o by weight of the composition.
In therapeutic use for treating, or comh~tting~ bacterial infectiorl~ in warm-blooded ~nim~l~, the compounds or pharmaceutical compo~iti()n~ thereof will be 26 ~lmini~tered orally and/or parenterally at a dosage to obtain and m~int~in a concentration, that is, an amount, or blood-level of active component in the animal undergoing tre~tm~nt which will be ~ntih~t~rially effective. Generally, such antibacterially effective amount of dosage of active component will be in the range of about 0.1 to about 100, more preferably about 3.0 to about 50 mg/kg of body 30 weight/day. It is to be understood that the dosages may vary depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the bacterial infection being treated, and the particular compound being used. Also, it is to be understood that the initial dosage ~lmini~tered may be increased beyond the above upper level in order to rapidly achieve the desired blood-level or the initial dosage may be .~m~ller than the 36 optimum and the daily dosage may be progressively increased during the course of tre~tment depending on the particular situation. If desired, the daily dose may also wo 96/15130 2 2 Q 1 7 ~ 6 PCT/US95/127Sl be divided into multiple doses for ~-lmini~tration, e.g., two to four times per a The compounds of Formula I or II according to this invention are ~lminictered parenterally, i.e., by injection, for exa~nple, by intravenous injection or by other parenteral routes of jq~mini~ctration. Pharmaceutical compositions for 5 parenteral ~lminiAtration will generally contain a pharmaceutically acceptableamount of the compound according to Formula I or II as a soluble salt (acid ~d~itio~ salt or base salt) dissolved in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier such as, for example, water-for-injection and a buffer to provide a suitably buffered isotonic solution, for example, having a pH of about 3-7. Suitable buffering agents 10 in~ e, for ~mple, trisodium orthophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate, N-methylglllc~mine, L(+)-lysine and L(+)-arginine to name but a few representative buffering agents. The compound according to Formula I generally will be dissolved in the carrier in an amount sllff~çiçnt to provide a pharmaceutically acceptableinjectable concentration in the range of about 1 mg/ml to about 400 mg/ml of solu-16 tion. The resulting liquid pharmaceutical composition will be ~-lmini.ctçred so as to obtain the above-mentioned ~ntih~ctPrially effective amount of dosage.
The plerelled method of preparation of Y~olitlincmçs of Formula I and II in çn~ntiom-3rically pure form is depicted in Charts I-IV..
As shown in Chart I, bicyclic ~ 7in~s and thi~:inçc (comm~rcially available 20 or known in the literature), such as (lS,4S)-2-oxa-6-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (X = O) and (lS,4S)-2-thia-5-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (X = S) of structure 1, are reacted with a function~li7e~1 nitrobenzene 2 (Y = halogen or trifluorom~th~nçslllfon~te) in the presence of a suitable base such as N,N-diiso~r~pylethylamine and in a suitable solvent such as acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran (THF) or ethyl acetate at ambient to 25 reflux temperature to provide the adducts 3. When X = O, the nitro group of 3 is then reduced by catalytic hydrogen~tion in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as 10% palladium on carbon or W-2 Raney nickel, and in a suitable solvent such as ethyl acetate, tetrahydioru~dn, aqueous tetrahyd~oruldn~ meth~nol and mixtures thereof, to furnish the ~nilinçs 4. In the case where X = S, the nitro group of 3 can 30 be reduced by the action of sodium hydrosulfite in aqueous tetrahydrofuran atambient temperature to ~5 C to give the ~nilinçs 4. Alternatively, reduction of the nitro group of 3 (X = S) can be ~ccomplished by catalytic hydrogeIl~tioI- in thepresence of a suitable catalyst, such as platinum on sulfide carbon or W-2 Raneynickel, and in an appropriate solvent system, for example aqueous tetrahydrofuran.
3~ The latter conditions are especially useful in that the reaction mixture is simply filtered through Celite(~ or the like to remove the catalyst and the filtrate containing WO 96115130 2a~OI 73 6 ~ PCTIUS95~127~1 the aniline 4 is directly used in the next step. To this end, the Anilin~s 4 are cu~ ed to their benzyl (R3 = CH2Ph) or methyl (R3 = CH3) carb~m~te del;vatives 6, employing standard Schotten-R~11m~nn co~litio~R or other variations known to one skilled in the art. The uret.h~ne.q 6 are then deprotonated with a suitable base 6 such as n-butyllithillm, lithium diisopropyl~mi~le, or lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in a suitable solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or N,N-d;methylru~ mir~a and at a suitable tempelatul~ such as -78 to -60C to give a lithi~t,erl interm~ te which is then treated with commarcially available (-)-(R)-glycidyl butyrate. Warming to ambient tempe,cllu~e then directly affords the 5-(hyd1oxy~llethyl)~ ~7O1i~inones 6 in ].0 en~ntiom~riç~lly enriched form. Compound 6 is then Cû~ ed to the corresponding mesylate 7 (R4 = m~th~n~sulfonyl) or aryl sulfonate 7 (R4 = ArSO2, for example p-toluenesulfonyl) by the action of, for example, methanesulfonyl chloride/py-ridine or meth~nesulfonyl chloride/triethylAmine/dichloromethane orp-toluenesufonyl chloride/pyridine .
As illustrated in Chart II, the resultant sulfonate derivative 7 is then reactedwith an azide source such as sodium or potassium azide in an aprotic solvent such as N,N-dimethylform~mi-l~ (DMF) or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, optionally in the presence of a catalyst such as 18-crown-6, at a temperature of 50-90 C to afford the azide 8. The azide i8 then reduced by hydrogçn~t.ion with p~ m on carbon or a ~0 platinum catalyst in an a~rop.iate solvent such as ethyl ~cet~te or m~th~nol to give the corresponding amine 9. Alternatively, and preferably in the case where X =
S, the azide can be reduced by tre~tTn~nt with a trivalent phosphorus compound such as triphenylphosphin~ in a suitable solvent such as tetrahyd-~ruldn followed by the ~ 1it.ion of water. Alternatively, the mesylate or aryl slllfon~te group of compounds 7 can be rli~pl~r.ed with potassium phth~limitle in ~retollitrile at reflux temperature to give the interrn~ te pht.h~limi~l~ lO. The phth~limicle 10 is then deprotected by tre~tnnent with aqueous methyl amine in r~ g ethanol to afford the amine 9. In yet another alternative, the mesylate 7 is reacted with z~Tn7nor1illm hydroxide in hot isopropanol or isopropanol/tetrahydl.,ru dn, ~lere~.dbly in a sealed reaction vessel, to directly give the amine 9. The amine 9 is then acylated by reactions known to those skilled in the art to give oxazoli~inon~s of structure 11.
For example, the amine can be reacted with an acid chloride or anhydride in a basic solvent such as pyridine at a temperature ranging from -30 to 30 C to provide the acylated compound 11 (R2 = optionally substituted alkyl). It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that other acyl groups within the scope of this in~vention can be WO 96/15130 2 2 0 1 7 3 e~ 3~ ~ ~ PCI'IUS9S/127Sl readily appended to the amine 9 by standard acylation techniques, for examp~ose highli~htecl in March, J.

As shown in Chart IV synthe~i~ of compounds which incorporate a thienopyrrolidine begins with reduction of the diester 14 to the diol 15 using lithium aluminum hydride as the reducing agent. Compound 15 is then converted to the bis-mesylate 16 by reaction with m~t~nesulfonyl chloride and a trialkylamine base.
Cytli7.~tion of 16 to the thienopyrrolidine 17 is carried out by reaction with sodium 25 sulfide, and compound 17 is debenzylated to the thienopyrrole 18 by reaction with hydrogen in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as palladium on carbon. Thecompound of example 4 is then prepared from 18 by following the procedures outlined in Charts I and II (but sub~Li~ 18 for 1). The compounds of Examples 5 and 6 are prepared by o~ tio~ of the compound of ~ mple 4, using the same 30 procedures as shown in Chart III.
Antimicrobial activity was tested in vivo using a Murine Assay procedure.
Groups of female mice were injected intraperito~e~lly with bacteria which were thawed just prior to use and suspended in brain heart infusion with 4~o Brewer'syeast UC9213 (Staphylococcus aureus) or brain hear infusion (Streptococcus species).

Survival was observed daily for six days. ED50 values based on mortality ratios were calculated using probit analysis.
