When used herein, the term "alkyl" includes groups having straight and branched
chains, for instance, and as appropriate, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl,
sec-butyl, t-butyl, pentyi and hexyl. The term 'alkenyl' should be interpreted
accordingly.
Halo or halogen includes fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo.
Haloalkyl moieties include 1-3 halogen atoms.

Compounds within the invention contain a heterocyclyl group and may occur in
two or more tautomeric forms depending on the nature of the heterocyclyl group; all such
tautomeric forms are included within the scope of the invention.
Some of the compounds of this invention may be crystallised or recrystallised
from solvents such as aqueous and organic solvents. In such cases solvates may be
formed. This invention includes within its scope stoichiometric solvates including
hydrates as well as compounds containing variable amounts of water that may be
produced by processes such as lyophilisation.
Furthermore, it will be understood that phrases such as "a compound of formula
(I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or N-oxide thereof are intended to encompass
the compound of formula (I), an N-oxide of formula (I), a pharmaceutically acceptable
salt of the compound of formula (I), a solvate of formula (I), or any pharmaceutically
acceptable combination of these. Thus by way of non-limiting example used here for
illustrative purpose, "a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt
thereof may include a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula (I)
that is further present as a solvate.
Since the compounds of formula (I) are intended for use in pharmaceutical
compositions it will readily be understood that in particular embodiments they are
provided in substantially pure form, for example at least 60% pure, more suitably at least
75% pure and particularly at least 85%, especially at least 98% pure (% are on a weight
for weight basis). Impure preparations of the compounds may be used for preparing the
more pure forms used in the pharmaceutical compositions; these less pure preparations of
the compounds should contain at least 1%, more suitably at least 5% and more
particularly from 10% of a compound of the formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable
salt and/or N-oxide thereof.
Particular compounds according to the invention include those mentioned in the
examples and their pharmaceutically acceptable N-oxides, salts and solvates.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the above-mentioned compounds of formula
(I) include the acid addition or quaternary aminonium salts, for example their salts with
mineral acids e.g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric nitric or phosphoric acids, or
organic acids, e.g. acetic, fumaric, succinic, maleic, citric, benzoic, p-toluenesulphonic,
methanesulphonic, naphthalenesulphonic acid or tartaric acids. Compounds of formula
(I) may also be prepared as the N-oxide. The invention extends to all such derivatives.
Certain of the compounds of formula (I) may exist in the form of optical isomers,
e.g. diastereoisomers and mixtures of isomers in all ratios, e.g. racemic mixtures. The
invention includes all such forms, in particular the pure isomeric forms. For example the
invention includes enantiomers and diastereoisomers at the attachment point of NR.2 and
-14-
R3. The different isomeric forms may be separated or resolved one from the other by
conventional methods, or any given isomer may be obtained by conventional synthetic
methods or by stereospecific or asymmetric syntheses. Certain compounds of formula (I)
may also exist in polymorphic forms and the invention includes such polymorphic forms.
In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a process for preparing
compounds of formula (I) where Z2 is nitrogen, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts
and/or N-oxides thereof, which process comprises reacting a compound of formula (IIA):
L
(IIA)
in which L is a leaving group or -A(Q1)(Q2), where Ql and Q2 are both attached to the
same carbon atom on A, Ql is H and Q2 is N(R20)R2' or Q1 and Q2 together form
ethylenedioxy or oxo, R20 is UR5 or a group convertible thereto and R2' is R2 or a group
convertible thereto, A, R1b, R2, U and R5, are as defined in formula (I), with (i) ethyl
bromoacetate followed by cyclisation and oxidation or (ii) ethyl oxoacetate followed by
cyclisation, to give a compound of formula (IIIA):
FT- ^ N (IIIA)
and thereafter optionally or as necessary converting L to -A-NR2-UR5, interconverting
any variable groups, and/or forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or N-oxide
thereof.
The reaction variant (i) is a selective alkylation with ethyl bromoacetate under
basic conditions (such as potassium carbonate) (see Yoshizawa, H. et al., Heterocycles
(2004), 63(8), 1757-1763 for an example of this selectivity in the alkylation of 2,3-
diaminopyridines), thermal cyclisation under strong basic conditions (such as potassium
t-butoxide) and then oxidation with manganese dioxide under conventional conditions
(see for examples Smith, M.B.; March, J.M. Advanced Organic Chemistry, Wiley-
Interscience 2001).
The reaction variant (ii) may be carried out in toluene and the cyclisation effected
under strongly basic conditions (such as potassium t-butoxide).
-15-
L may be a hydroxy group which can be oxidised to the aldehyde by conventional
means such as l,l,l-tris-(acetyloxy)-l,l-dihydro-l,2-benziodooxol-3-(lH)-one for
reductive alkylation with HA-N(R20)R2' under conventional conditions (see for
examples Smith, M.B.; March, J.M. Advanced Organic Chemistry, Wiley-Interscience
2001).
Alternatively L may be bromo which can be alkylated with HA-N(R20)R2' UNder
conventional conditions.
Where Q1 and Q2 together form ethylenedioxy the ketal may be converted to the
ketone (Q1 and Q2 together form oxo) by conventional acid hydrolysis treatment with eg
aqueous HC1 or trifluoroacetic acid and the conversion to NR2UR5 by conventional
reductive alkylation with amine NHR2'R20 (see for example Nudelman, A., et al,
Tetrahedron 60 (2004) 1731-1748) and subsequent conversion to the required substituted
amine, or directly with NHR2URS, such as with sodium triacetoxyborohydride in
dichloromethane/methanol.
Conveniently one of R20 and R2' is an N-protecting group, such as such as tbutoxycarbonyl,
benzyloxycarbonyl or 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyI. This may be
removed by several methods well known to those skilled in the art (for examples see
"Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, T.W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts, Wiley-
Interscience, 1999), for example conventional acid hydrolysis with, for example
trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid. The invention further provides compounds of
formula (IIIA) in which L is -A-N(R20)R2' and R20 is hydrogen.
The free amine of formula (IIIA) in which R20 is hydrogen may be converted to
NR2UR5 by conventional means such as amide formation with an acyl derivative
R5COW, for compounds where U is CO or, where U is CH2, by alkylation with an alkyl
halide R5CH2-halide in the presence of base, acylation/reduction with an acyl derivative
R5COW or reductive alkylation with an aldehyde R5CHO under conventional conditions
(see for examples Smith, M.B.; March, J.M. Advanced Organic Chemistry, Wiley-
Interscience 2001). The appropriate reagents containing the required R5 group are
known compounds or may be prepared analogously to known compounds, see for
example WO02/08224, WO02/50061, WO02/56882, WO02/96907, WO2003087098,

Where R5 contains an NH group, this may be protected with a suitable Nprotecting
group such as t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl or 9-
fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl during the coupling of the R5 derivative with the free amine
of formula (IIB). The protecting group may be removed by conventional methods, such
as by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid.
In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a process for preparing
compounds of formula (I) where Z1 is nitrogen, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts
and/or N-oxides thereof, which process comprises reacting a compound of formula (IIB):

ethylenedioxy or oxo,
R20 is UR5 or a group convertible thereto and R2' is R2 or a group

The reaction and subsequent transformations is carried out as for the preparation
of compounds of formula (IIIA).

The invention further provides compounds of formula (IIIB) in which L is -AN(
R20)R2' and R20 is hydrogen.

etal, Synlett (2006), (3), 379-382 for examples of this type of metallation chemistry).
Heck reaction of (2) using palladium catalysis (see Sydorenko, N, et al, Organic &
Biomolecular Chemistry (2005), 3(11), 2140-2144 for an example of this type of
catalysis in a Heck reaction) gives acryate (3). Hydrogenation of the double bond of (3)
followed by acid treatment to remove the pivalate residue and effect lactamisation yields
the bicyclic lactam (4). Conversion to the epoxide (5) can be effected in a number of
ways - reaction with epichlorohydrin under basic conditions affords racemic epoxide.

Reaction with (commercially available) R or S-glycidyl nosylate ((2R)- or (2S)-2-
oxiranylmethyl 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate) or (2R)- or (2.S)-2-oxiranylmethyl 4-
methylbenzenesulfonate, with base eg sodium hydride or potassium t-butoxide, gives the
corresponding chiral epoxides. Alternatively, allylation with allyl bromide under basic
conditions affords the corresponding N-allyl material which can be epoxidised under
standard achiral or chiral conditions to give the corresponding achiral or chiral epoxides.
The epoxide(s) (5) may be opened with amine H-A(Q1)(Q2) such as 1,1-dimethylethyI 4-
piperidinylcarbamate by heating in DMF to afford (6) which can then be cyclised with
methanesulphonic anhydride to give (7). Alternatively, the epoxide (5) may be opened
and cyclised directly with heating, to afford (7) (L=OH). Oxidation to (8) may be carried
out by oxidation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-l,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). Subsequent
conversion to compounds of formula (I) may be carried out as generally described herein.
In particular, conversion of L to A(Q1)(Q2) may be carried out on (7) or (8). As a furter
variation to Scheme 3, epoxide (5) may be prepared from (2) by first introducing a
suitable epoxide precursor group (-CH2-CHOH-CH2OH, protected as a cyclic ester)
before carrying out the steps (b) and (c).
The invention further provides compounds of formula (8) from Scheme 3 in
which L is -A-N(R20)R2' and R20 is hydrogen.

Reaction of nitropyridine (1) with 2-amino-l,3-propanediol affords diol (2) which
is protected as acetal (3). Reduction of the nitro group gives amine (4) which is alkylated
to yield ester (5). Cyclisation can be effected with sodium hydride to give (6). This is
protected with a carboxybenzyl (CBz) group (7) then cleaved to give the diol (8).
Cyclisation with methanesulphonic anhydride affords the mesylate (9), then
hydrogenolysis of the CBz group (10) and subsequent oxidation with manganese(II)oxide
gives the key dione intermediate mesylate (11). The order of steps may be changed to go
via (7a). The mesylate (11) may be converted to the compound of formula (I) as generally

Compound (1) (Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters (2005), 15(24), 5446-
5449) is converted to (2) by acylation with chloroacetyl chloride followed by treatment
with aminonia to give (4). Alternatively (1) may be converted to (3) by coupling with
Boc- glycine followed by acidic deprotection to give (4). Compound (4) may then be
converted to a compound of formula (I) by analogy with the conversion of compound (5)
of Scheme 5.
Interconversions ofRl a,Rlb,R2,AandR5 are conventional. In compounds
which contain an optionally protected hydroxy group, suitable conventional hydroxy
protecting groups which may be removed without disrupting the remainder of the
molecule include acyl and alkylsilyl groups. N-protecting groups are removed by
conventional methods.
Interconversion of R1a and R1b groups maybe carried out conventionally, on
compounds of formula (I). For example R1a or R1b methoxy is convertible to R1a or
RlD hydroxy by treatment with lithium and diphenylphosphine (general method
described in Ireland et al, J. Amer. Chem. Soc, 1973, 7829) or HBr. Alkylation of the
hydroxy group with a suitable alkyl derivative bearing a leaving group such as halide,
- 2 5 -
yields R1a or R1b substituted alkoxy. Rla or Rlb halo such as bromo may be converted
to cyano by treatment with copper (I) cyanide in N,N-dimethylformamide. Rla or R1b
carboxy may be obtained by conventional hydrolysis of R l a or Rib cyano, and the
carboxy converted to hydroxymethyl by conventional reduction.
Compounds of formula HA-N(R20)R2' are known compounds or may be
prepared analogously to known compounds, see for example WO2004/035569,

other glyceride.
For parenteral administration, fluid unit dosage forms are prepared utilizing the
compound and a sterile vehicle, water being preferred. The compound, depending on the
vehicle and concentration used, can be either suspended or dissolved in the vehicle. In
preparing solutions the compound can be dissolved m water for injection and filter
sterilised before filling into a suitable vial or ampoule and sealing.
Advantageously, agents such as a local anaesthetic, preservative and buffering
agents can be dissolved in the vehicle. To enhance the stability, the composition can be
frozen after filling into the vial and the water removed under vacuum. The dry
lyophilized powder is then sealed in the vial and an accompanying vial of water for
injection may be supplied to reconstitute the liquid prior to use. Parenteral suspensions
are prepared in substantially the same manner except that the compound is suspended in
the vehicle instead of being dissolved and sterilization cannot be accomplished by
filtration. The compound can be sterilised by exposure to ethylene oxide before
suspending in the sterile vehicle. Advantageously, a surfactant or wetting agent is
included in the composition to facilitate uniform distribution of the compound.
The compositions may contain from 0.1% by weight, preferably from 10-60% by
weight, of the active material, depending on the method of administration. Where the
compositions comprise dosage units, each unit will preferably contain from 50-1000 mg
of the active ingredient. The dosage as employed for adult human treatment will
preferably range from 100 to 3000 mg per day, for instance 1500 mg per day depending
on the route and frequency of administration. Such a dosage corresponds to about 1.5 to
about 50 mg/kg per day. Suitably the dosage is from 5 to 30 mg/kg per day.

hydride (4.173g of 60% w:w dispersion in oil, l.OOeq.) in dry THF (500ml) under argon.
During the addition the colour of the suspension changed from orange to green. The
mixture was sirred at 0°C for a further 15 minutes, then allowed to warm to room
temperature and stirred at rt for 1 hour. The mixture was cooled to 0°C and saturated
aminonium chloride (15ml) was added cautiously with vigorous stirring (effervescence
observed). After effervescence had ceased, the mixture was allowed to warm to room
temperature and stirred for 4 hours then diluted with ethyl acetate (500ml) and filtered
with suction. The solids were washed with ethyl acetate (300ml) and the combined
filtrate plus washings were evaporated under reduced pressure to give a dark brown solid.
This was stirred with petroleum ether (40-60°) (500ml) plus ethyl acetate (20ml) for 2h
and filtered with suction to give a lighter brown solid which was washed with petroleum
ether (40-60°) (100ml) and air-dried to afford the title compound as an amorphous tan

2-yI)methyl]-4-piperid,inyl}carbamate (1.630g, 4.06 mmol) was
suspended in DCM (30ml) and 4M HC1 in 1,4-dioxane (15ml) was added to give a bright
yellow suspension (and gas evolution). The bright yellow mixture was allowed to stand at
room temperature for 1 hour. LCMS showed no starting material remaining. The solvents
were removed under reduced pressure and the residue was dried under reduced pressure
overnight to give the dihydrochloride salt of the title compound as an amorphous tan
solid (1.760g (> theoretical yield for the dihydrochloride owing to the presence of
residual solvent).
A portion of the crude dihydrochloride (0.513g) was dissolved in methanol (4ml)
plus water (1ml) and applied to an SCX column (lOg) (preconditioned with 2 column
volumes of methanol). The column was then eluted, under gravity, using (i) methanol
(2x50ml), (ii) 0.5M aminonia in methanol (3x50ml fractions). Appropriate fractions were
combined and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the crude title compound as a
tan amorphous solid (410 mg), which contained methanol-insoluble material not apparent
by LCMS (possibly aminonium chloride). The product was shaken with methanol (30 ml)
and the suspension was filtered. The solid was washed with methanol (20 ml) and the
combined filtrate and washings were evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title
compound (360 mg, 87%).

Preparation A: 6,7-Dihydro[l,4]dioxino[2,3-c]pyridazine-3-carbaldehyde
(a) 3,4,6-Trichloropyridazine
This was prepared by a slight variation on the method of Kasnar et ah
Nucleosides & Nucleotides (1994), 13(1-3), 459-79.
Hydrazine sulphate salt (51 g) was suspended in water (250ml), heated to reflux
and bromomaleic anhydride (90.38 g) was added dropwise. The mixture was heated at
reflux for 4 hours then cooled to room temperature. The reaction was repeated with 29g
hydrazine sulphate, 53g bromomaleic anhydride and 130ml water. The precipitates were
collected by filtration, washed with water and acetone and dried as a combined batch in
vacuo to afford 4-bromo-l,2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione as a white solid (113 g).
The solid in two batches was treated with phosphorus oxychloride (2x200 ml) and
heated to reflux for 3.5 hours. The mixture was cooled, evaporated and azeotroped with
toluene. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and saturated aqueous
sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with DCM twice more. The organic extracts
were dried and evaporated. This residue was re-dissolved in dichloromethane, and
chromatographed on silica gel (300 g) (DCM as eluent) to give a white solid (101.5 g,
87%).
(LC/MS analysis showed ca 20-30% impurity, isomers of bromo-dichloropyridazine).

(b)2-[(3,6-Dichloro-4-pyridazinyl)oxy]ethanol
A solution of ethylene glycol (55 ml) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) was treated at
around 0°C (ice bath cooling) with sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 5.9 g) over 40
minutes. After the addition was complete, 3,4,6-trichloropyridazine (27 g) containing
isomers of bromo-dichloropyridazine as impurity was added portionwise and washed in
with more dry THF (50ml) and the mixture was stirred at 0°C for 1 hour and then at room
-123-
temperature overnight. The mixture was concentrated (to 1/3 volume) then diluted with
aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with chloroform (5x) and ethyl
acetate (3x). The combined organic extracts were washed with water, dried over sodium
sulphate and evaporated and the solids filtered off and washed with CHCI3 (x3) and dried
in a vacuum oven overnight at 40°C affording a white solid (25.5 g, 83%), containing
some bromo-derivative (10-15%).

(15.46 g; 0.0703 mol) in dry 1,4-dioxane (1.2 L) was treated with lithium
hydride (2.3 g; 0.28 mol) in portions and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour under
argon, then heated at 110 °C overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched with wet 1,4-
dioxane, then iced-water. The solution was evaporated to half volume, taken to pH 8 with
5M hydrochloric acid and evaporated to dryness. Water was added and the residue was
extracted 5x with chloroform, dried (sodium sulphate) and evaporated to afford a white
solid (12.4 g, ca.77%) (containing ca. 15% of a bromo species).

mol) containing ca. 15% of a bromo species in dimethoxyethane (400 ml) was degassed
under argon for 10 min then tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (2 g), potassium
carbonate (10.33 g), 2,4,6-trivinylcyclotriboroxane pyridine complex (11.32 g) and water
(55 ml) were added. The mixture was heated at 95 °C for 48 hours and cooled and
evaporated to dryness. The mixture was treated with aqueous sodium bicarbonate
solution and extracted (5x) with DCM. Extracts were dried (sodium sulphate), evaporated
and the residue chromatographed on silica gel (500 g), eluting with 0-100% ethyl acetate
- hexane, affording the product (6.43 g, 50%); [also some impure fractions (1.8 g)].

Biological Activity
Antimicrobial Activity Assay:
Whole-cell antimicrobial activity was determined by broth microdilution using the
Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommended procedure, Document
M7-A7, "Methods for Dilution Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically".
The compounds were tested in serial two-fold dilutions ranging from 0.016 to 16 mcg/ml.
The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined as the lowest
concentration of compound that inhibited visible growth. A mirror reader was used to
assist in determining the MIC endpoint.
Compounds were evaluated against Gram-positive organisms, selected from
Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes,
Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium.
In addition, compounds were evaluated against Gram-negative organisms selected
from Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella
pneumoniae and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.
Each of the listed Examples, as identified in the present application, except
Examples 71-73 and 76-79, was tested in at least one exemplified salt or free base form.
Unless otherwise noted, the tested Examples had a MIC least one of the organisms listed above, with the exception of Example 9 which had an
MIC one strain of every organism listed above, at least one Example had a MIC Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv Inhibition Assay
The measurement of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for each tested
compound was performed in 96 wells flat-bottom, polystyrene microtiter plates. Ten twofold
drug dilutions in neat DMSO starting at 400uM were performed. Five ul of these
drug solutions were added to 95 ul of Middlebrook 7H9 medium. (Lines A-H, rows 1-10
of the plate layout). Isoniazid was used as a positive control, 8 two-fold dilution of
Isoniazid starting at 160 µgml-1 was prepared and 5 µl of mis control curve was added to
95 ul of Middlebrook 7H9 (Difco catalogue Ref. 271310) + ADC medium (Becton
Dickinson Catalogue Ref. 211887). (Row 11, lines A-H). Five ul of neat DMSO were
added to row 12 (growth and Blank controls).
The inoculum was standardised to approximately 1x107 cfu/ml and diluted 1 in
100 in Middlebrook 7H9+ADC medium and 0.025% Tween 80 (Sigma P4780), to
produce the final inoculum of H37Rv strain (ATCC25618). One hundred ul of this
inoculum was added to the entire plate but G-12 and H-12 wells (Blank controls). All
plates were placed in a sealed box to prevent drying out of the peripheral wells and they
were incubated at 37°C without shaking for six days. A resazurin solution was prepared
by dissolving one tablet of resazunn (Resazurin Tablets for Milk Testing; Ref 330884Y
VWR International Ltd) in 30 ml sterile PBS (phosphate buffered saline). 25 ul of this
solution was added to each well. Fluorescence was measured (Spectramax M5 Molecular
Devices, Excitation 530nm, Emission 590nm) after 48 hours to determine the MIC value.
Examples 1-4, 5A, 6A, 7-9,12,13A, 14,15,16A, 17A, 19A, 20, 23-32, 34, 37-
44, 46-50, 53-57, 59 and 63 were tested in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
inhibition assay. Examples 2, 4, 5A, 6A, 7, 8,12, 13A, 14, 16A, 19A, 20, 23-26, 28-32,
34, 37, 39,40, 42,44,46, 49, 50, 56, 59 and 63 showed an MIC value of lower than 2.0
µg/ml. Examples 4, 5A, 7, 8,12,13A, 14,16A, 19A, 25, 26, 30-32, 37, 40,49, 50, and 56
showed an MIC value of 1.0 ug/ml or lower.
