The present invention relates to a process for providing the compound of formula I, comprising the step of reacting a compound of formula VII with a base in the presence of an alkaline- or alkaline earth metal salt (MX), wherein LG is a leaving group. The presence of an alkaline- or alkaline earth metal salt was surprisingly found to render said reaction highly reliable in terms of the yield and purity of the compound of formula I obtained. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to the compound of formula I, having less than an amount of 1.50% or less than an amount of 1.25% or less than an amount of 1.00% or less than an amount of 0.75% or less than an amount of 0.50% or less than an amount of 0.25% or less than an amount of 0.10% of the compound of formula VIII. ##STR00001##

The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present invention pertains to certain 2-amino-N-(arylsulfinyl)-acetamide compounds that, inter alia, inhibit (e.g., selectively inhibit) bacterial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS) (e.g., bacterial leucyl-t RNA synthetase, LeuRS). The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit (e.g., selectively inhibit) bacterial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase; to treat disorders that are ameliorated by the inhibition (e.g., selective inhibition) of bacterial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase; to treat bacterial infections; etc.

The present invention relates to a cationic lipid having one or more biodegradable groups located in a lipidic moiety (e.g., a hydrophobic chain) of the cationic lipid. These cationic lipids may be incorporated into a lipid particle for delivering an active agent, such as a nucleic acid. The invention also relates to lipid particles comprising a neutral lipid, a lipid capable of reducing aggregation, a cationic lipid of the present invention, and optionally, a sterol. The lipid particle may further include a therapeutic agent such as a nucleic acid.
