ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed toward new isoxazolinones, methods for their use, and processes for their production. These novel isoxazolinone derivatives are useful as antimicrobial agents which are effective against a number of human and veterinary pathogens, including gram positive bacteria such as multiply-resistant staphylococci, streptococci, and enterococci (e.g. methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
or vancomycin-resistant
Enterococcus faecium
).
2. Background
The literature contains a limited number of isoxazolinones used as pre-emergence herbicides. For example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,065,463, 2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl-m-tolyl)-3-isoxazolin-5-one and 2-methyl-4-(chloro-m-tolyl)-3-isoxazolin-5-one are disclosed as being useful in preventing the growth of weeds which have a deleterious effect on crop production.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,000,155 discloses the related compound 1,2-dimethyl-4-(trifluoromethyl-m-tolyl)-3-pyrazolin-5-one for the same utility.
The applicants are not aware of any literature which discloses the use of these compounds as broad spectrum anti-bacterial agents. A different ring system is disclosed in WO 98/07708, which discusses the use of isoxazoline derivatives as anti-bacterial agents,
where W is a substituted aryl or heteroaryl system and V is H, or C

alkoxy, or acyloxy.
Oxazolidinones II shown below are a well known class of orally active antibacterial agents. The prior art contains numerous references to these compounds where Y and Z can include a wide variety of substituents. Specific substituted oxazolidinones are discussed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,705,799 and 5,523,403 (substituted phenyl 2-oxazolidinones), U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,948,801; 5,254,577; and 5,130,316 (arylbenzene oxazolidinyl compounds), U.S. Pat. No. 6,069,145 (piperazinophenyloxazolidinones) and European Patent Applications 0,697,412; 0,694,544; 0694,543; and 0,693,491 (5 to 9-membered heteroaryl substituted oxazolidinones).
Additionally, certain compounds containing a substituted furanone ring have been reported to possess antibiotic activity. WO 97/14690 discloses
where T is hydroxy or NHC(O)C

Isoxazolinones of type III have been disclosed in PCT Publication WO 00/10566, but the compounds of the present invention are not disclosed or suggested in this publication.
