Disclosed are compounds that accumulate in Gram-negative bacteria. Also disclosed are method of antimicrobial treatment using the compounds.

The present application provides bifunctional compounds of Formula (Ia): (Ia), or an enantiomer, diastereomer, stereoisomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which act as protein degradation inducing moieties for one or mor of cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) and cyclin-dependent kinase 19 (CDK19). The present application also relates to methods for the targeted degradation of CDK8 and/or CDK19 through the use of the bifumtional compounds that link a ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety to a ligand that is capable of binding to CDK8 and/or CDK19 which can be utilized in the treatment of disorders modulated by CDK8 and/or CDK19.

##STR00001##

Method of treating a subject in need of a treatment for modulating immune system or anti-microbial infection, comprising administering a stable aqueous suspension formulation, which may be reconstituted from a water dispersible dry composition, comprising compound of Formula I in the form of particles stabilized in an aqueous suspension. It causes little or no injection site irritation and has superior properties over non-aqueous formulations. It stimulates autophagy, enhance innate immunity, down-regulates unproductive inflammation and exerts a Th1 immune bias. It demonstrates better efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo models.
