2-AMINO-N-(ARYLSULFINYL)-ACETAMIDE COMPOUNDS AS INHIBITORS OF BACTERIAL AMINOACYL-TRNA SYNTHETASE.

摘要

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.
