Page/Page column 43; 44, (2011/07/07)
Compounds of the formula (I) wherein n is 0, 1 or 2, R1 is aryl, heteroaryl or heterocyclyl, and R2 and R3 are hydrogen or a substituent as described in the specification, are useful for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections, in particular of urinary infections caused by E. coli.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is one of the most common infections, particularly affecting women. The interaction of FimH, a lectin located at the tip of bacterial pili, with high mannose structures is critical for the ability of UPEC to colonize and invade the bladder epithelium. We describe the synthesis and the in vitro/in vivo evaluation of α-d-mannosides with the ability to block the bacteria/host cell interaction. According to the pharmacokinetic properties, a prodrug approach for their evaluation in the UTI mouse model was explored. As a result, an orally available, low molecular weight FimH antagonist was identified with the potential to reduce the colony forming units (CFU) in the urine by 2 orders of magnitude and in the bladder by 4 orders of magnitude. With FimH antagonist 16b, the great potential for the effective treatment of urinary tract infections with a new class of orally available antiinfectives could be demonstrated.
