Quantitative structure−activity relationships have been found among macrolide antibacterial agents in their potencies against the bacterial pathogen Pasteurella multocida both in vitro and in mouse infections. To obtain these relationships we measured, among other things, the pKa's and log P's of 15 known macrolides of diverse structures. Among these compounds, in vitro potency [log(1/MIC)] is a function of log P, log D, and CMR (R = 0.86). In vivo potency is a function of the higher pKa, the HPLC chromatographic capacity factor log k, log(1/MIC) and pNF (R = 0.93). pNF is defined as the negative logarithm of the fraction of neutral drug molecules present in aqueous solution at pH 7.4. The same physical properties were determined for 14 macrolides not used in developing the original QSAR models. Using the in vivo model, we calculated the mouse protection potency ranges for these new compounds. Ten estimates agreed with those observed, three were lower by a half-order of magnitude, and one was calculated to be active in the range of 15−50 mg/kg, but in fact was not active at 50 mg/kg, the highest level tested. When these new compounds were combined with the original 15, and the QSAR's updated, the new equations for the in vitro and in vivo potencies were essentially the same as those originally found. Hence, the physical properties indicated above are major determinants of macrolide antibacterial potencies. |
