In Vitro Studies
Example 1-1
Cytotoxicity Assay, RPTEC Cells
[0296] Mammalian cell cytotoxicity assays were performed using human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTECCambrex CC-2553). Cells were plated at 3,000 cells/well (RPTEC) in 96-well plates and were incubated overnight at 37 C. The compounds were added to the wells, and the cells were incubated for 4 days. Alomar Blue was added to one set of plates and incubated for 4 hours. The plates were read when the compound was added (time zero) and at the end of the study. Fluorescence was read using 530 nm (excitation) and 590 nm (emission) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC.sub.50) was calculated as 50% of the maximum signal minus the value at time zero.
[0297] Table 2 displays the renal proximal tubule epithelial cells IC.sub.50 for selected compounds.
Example 1-2
Cytotoxicity Assay, Human Lung Epithelial Cells
[0298] Cytoxicity of the polymers towards human lung epithelial cells was performed using human lung epithelial Carcinoma cell line (A 549ATCC # CCL-185). The cells were incubated for 96 hours at 7 C. with 5% CO.sub.2 in a 96-well plate. CellTiter-Glo (Promega) reagent was added to the plates. The plates were read by measuring the luminescence arising from luciferase catalyzed reaction of luciferin with ATP according to the manufacturer's suggested protocol. The concentration of ATP is directly proportional to cell viability; accordingly, higher luminescence measures high cell viability.

Erythrocyte Lysis Assay
[0300] The compounds were incubated overnight at 37 C. in Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline containing fresh washed erythrocytes at a hematocrit of 1%. After incubation, the plates were centrifuged and the supernatant transferred to flat-bottomed 96-well plates. The supernatant was assayed using the QuantiChrom Hemoglobin kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. The IC.sub.50 values were calculated using GraphPad Prism.
[0301] Table 2 displays the IC.sub.50 values for selected compounds.
Example 1-4
Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Assay
[0302] The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay determines the lowest concentration of an antimicrobial agent required to inhibit the growth of test organisms after incubation. MIC assays were performed against an internal standard panel of organisms to identify compounds with antimicrobial activity. The MIC assay was subsequently repeated against other specialized microbial panels. Assays were conducted against the following clinically relevant microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus, Staphylococcus epidermis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Haemophilius influenza. The compounds were tested for bacteriocidal activity, time course of killing, toxicity against tissue culture cells grown in vitro, and in some cases were tested for antimicrobial activity in vivo.
[0303] The MIC assays were performed according to the Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, 2006, vol. M100-S15, Fifteenth Informational Supplement, NCCLS, 940 West Valley Road, Suite 1400, Wayne, Pa. 19087.
[0304] The polymers tested were dissolved in 0.85% saline to a final concentration of either 830 or 1000 g/mL and the pH was adjusted to 7.0. The solution was then filter-sterilized through a 0.22 m filter. Two-fold serial dilutions of polymer were prepared in Mueller-Hinton broth with cations aliquotted into 96-well microtiter plates. The plates were then inoculated with 510.sup.5 cells/mL of target organism and incubated 18-24 hours at 35 C. The optical density (OD) was read at 590 nm, and microorganism growth was scored (OD>0.1 is considered to be growth; OD<0.1 is considered to be growth inhibition). The MIC value is the lowest concentration of compound that inhibits growth; accordingly, a higher MIC value indicates less potency where a lower MIC valued indicated more potency.

ToxicityMaximum Tolerated Dose
[0306] Acute, 24 hour, toxicity studies to determine the maximum tolerated dose of a compound were carried out in male rats and mice of approximately 8-10 weeks of age. Animals were housed singly in standard polycarbonate cages and fed normal chow diets. Following one week of acclimation, compounds were administered in a single intraperitoneal (I.P.) or intravenous (I.V.) dose, typically in a PBS vehicle. The doses generally ranged from 1 mg/kg to as high as 400 mg/kg. Animals were observed for signs of pain, distress, and local or systemic signs of toxicity for one hour post-dosing, and then in 1 hour intervals for 6 hours after dosing. The following day at 24 hours post-dose, the animals were sacrificed and blood removed for serum chemistry analysis. Serum chemistry analyses performed include: ALT, AST, Creatinine and Urea Nitrogen. Major organs were also examined for abnormal signs.

Synthesis of Poly(1,3-bis(1,6-dimethylenepyridine)piperidine-4-yl)propane)
[0308] One gram (1 g) of 4,4-trimethylene dipiperidine was dissolved in 30 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) . To this solution 642 mg of 2,6 pyridine dicarbaldehyde was added. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. 4.03 g of sodium triacetoxyborohydride was added to the reaction mixture and stirred at ambient temperature for 18 hours; the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 100 mL of water and the pH was adjusted to 14 with 4M sodium hydroxide at which time a white precipitate formed. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solids were dissolved in 1.2M hydrochloric acid to a pH of 1. The resulting solution was passed through a 10 KDa Macrosep filtration device (Pall corp.) by centrifugation at 5,000 rpm for 30 minutes. The retained material was diluted with water and the centrifugation process was repeated four more times. The material that passed through the Macrosep filter membrane was further purified with a 3 KDa Macrosep and the entire centrifugation process was repeated. Finally, the filtrate was passed through a 1 KDa Macrosep as above, yielding fractions containing polymers of four different molecular weight ranges, >10 KDa, <10 KDa and >3 KDa, <3 KDa and >1 KDa, and <1 KDa. Each fraction was dried by lyophilization resulting in fluffy white solids.

Example 3-36(a)
Synthesis of dimethyl 2,24(6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(azanediyl))bis(4-methylpentanoate)
[0363] 738 mg triazine and 6.7 g sodiumbicarbonate were slurried in 20 mL acetone and cooled in an ice-water bath. To this slurry was added a solution of 1.6 g L-Leucine methyl ester hydrochloride in a 20 mL acetone/20 mL water mixture. The reaction was taken out of the cooling bath and the reaction was left to go up to room temperature overnight. The reaction was made acidic with 4M hydrochloric acid and the acetone was evaporated. The pure product precipitates and is collected by filtration.

Synthesis of dimethyl 2,2-((6-((2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl) amino)ethyl)thio)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(azanediyl))bis(4-methylpentanoate)
[0364] 0.54 g dimethyl 2,2-((6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(azanediyl))bis(4-methylpentanoate) and 0.35 g tent-butyl (2-mercaptoethyl)carbamate were dissolved in 4 mL dimethylformamide. 64 mg NaH as a 60 wt. % mull was added (OBS! hydrogen formation) and the reaction was aged for one hour. The reaction was diluted with methyl tent-butyl ether and the organics was extracted three times with brine (salts fall out the first time. These were re-dissolved by adding small portions of water). The ether was dried over MgSO.sub.4 and evaporated. At first the crude was passed through a 50 g silica column using ethyl acetate/hexane (gradient from 5% ethyl acetate to 50% over 10 column volumes) and then through a 10 g column with dichloromethane/ethyl acetate (gradient from 0% ethyl acetate to 5% over 15 column volumes).

[0365] 331 mg dimethyl 2,2-((6-((2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl) amino)ethyl)thio)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(azanediyl))bis(4-methylpentanoate) was mixed with 66 mg propane-1,3-diamine and the reaction was heated at 110 C. for 24 hours. The gummy mass was dissolved in 2 mL dichloromethane and 2 mL trifluoroacetic acid and stirred for three hours before being evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in 20 mL 1.2M hydrochloric acid and the solution was passed through a 1 10 KDa Macrosep filtration device (Pall corp.) by centrifugation at 5,000 rpm for 30 minutes. The retained material was diluted with water and the centrifugation process was repeated four more times. The material that passed through the Macrosep filter membrane was further purified with a 3 KDa Macrosep and the entire centrifugation process was repeated. Finally, the filtrate was passed through a 1 KDa Macrosep as above, yielding fractions containing polymers of four different molecular weight ranges, >10 KDa, <10 KDa and >3 KDa, <3 KDa and >1 KDa, and <1 KDa. Each fraction was dried by lyophilization resulting in fluffy white solids.

Synthesis of diethyl 2,24(6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(azanediyl))diacetate
[0366] 1.4 g ethyl glycinate hydrochloride and 2.6 g di-iso-propylethylamine were slurried in 10 mL tetrahydrofuran (THF). 922 mg triazine was dissolved in 10 mL tetrahydrofuran and added to the reaction mixture. After 30 minutes 1 mL of water/acetone (1:1) was added, forming a two phase system that was stirred rapidly. The reaction was left over night and subsequently diluted with more THF before being extracted with salt water (not brine). The water phase was re-extracted with more THF and the combined organic phase was concentrated under vacuum until the product started falling out of solution. The product was forced out of solution by adding 75 mL water and filtered.
