415 , 1989 ). it is well known to one skilled in the art that an appropriate salt form is chosen based on physical and chemical stability , flowability , hygroscopicity and solubility . preferably , the 7 -( substituted )- 9 -[( substituted glycyl ) amido ]- 6 - demethyl - 6 - deoxytetracyclines are obtained as inorganic salt such as hydrochloric , hydrobromic , hydroiodic , phosphoric , nitric or sulfate ; or organic salt such as acetate , benzoate , citrate , cysteine or other amino acids , fumarate , glycolate , maleate , succinate , tartrate , alkylsulfonate or arylsulfonate . depending on the stochiometry of the acids used , the salt formation occurs with the c ( 4 )- dimethylamino group ( 1 equivalent of acid ) or with both the c ( 4 )- dimethylamino group and the w group ( 2 equivalents of acid ). the salts are preferred for oral and parenteral administration . some of the compounds of the hereinbefore described schemes have centers of asymmetry at the carbon bearing the w substituent . the compounds may , therefore , exist in at least two ( 2 ) stereoisomeric forms . the present invention encompasses the racemic mixture of stereoisomers as well as all stereoisomers of the compounds whether free from other stereoisomers or admixed with stereoisomers in any proportion of enantiomers . the absolute configuration of any compound may be determined by conventional x - ray crystallography . the stereochemistry centers on the tetracycline unit ( i . e . c - 4 , c - 4a , c - 5a and c - 12a ) remain intact throughout the reaction sequences . the minimum inhibitory concentration ( mic ), the lowest concentration of the antibiotic which inhibits growth of the test organism , is determined by the agar dilution method using 0 . 1 ml muller - hinton ii agar ( baltimore biological laboratories ) per well . an inoculum density of 1 - 5 × 10 5 cfu / ml , and an antibiotic concentrations range of 32 - 0 . 004 microgram / ml is used . mic is determined after the plates are incubated for 18 hours at 35 ° c . in a forced air incubator . the test organisms comprise strains that are sensitive to tetracycline and genetically defined strains that are resistant to tetracycline , due to inability to bind bacterial ribosomes ( tetm ). an in vitro , cell free , protein translation system using extracts from e . coli strain mre600 ( tetracycline sensitive ) and a derivative of mre600 containing the tetm determinant has been developed based on literature methods [ j . m pratt , coupled transcription - translation in prokaryotic cell - free systems , transcription and translation , a practical approach , ( b . d . hames and s . j . higgins , eds ) p . 179 - 209 , irl press , oxford - washington , 1984 ]. using the system described above , the tetracycline compounds of the present invention are tested for their ability to inhibit protein synthesis in vitro . briefly , each 10 microliter reaction contains s30 extract ( a whole extract ) made from either tetracycline sensitive cells or an isogenic tetracycline resistant ( tetm ) strain , low molecular weight components necessary for transcription and translation ( i . e . atp and gtp ), a mix of 19 amino acids ( no methionine ), 35 s labeled methionine , dna template ( either pbr322 or puc119 ), and either dmso ( control ) or the novel tetracycline compound to be tested (&# 34 ; novel tc &# 34 ;) dissolved in dmso . the reactions are incubated for 30 minutes at 37 ° c . timing is initiated with the addition of the s30 extract , the last component to be added . after 30 minutes , 2 . 5 μl of the reaction is removed and mixed with 0 . 5 ml of 1n naoh to destroy rna and trna . two ml of 25 % trichloroacetic acid is added and the mixture incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes . the trichloroacetic acid precipitated material is collected on whatman gf / c filters and washed with a solution of 10 % trichloroacetic acid . the filters are dried and the retained radioactivity , representing incorporation of 35 s - methionine into polypeptides , is counted using standard liquid scintillation methods . the percent inhibition ( p . i .) of protein synthesis is determined to be : ## equ1 ## the therapeutic effects of tetracyclines are determined against an acute lethal infection with staphylococcus aureus strain smith ( tetracycline sensitive ). female , mice , strain cd - 1 ( charles river laboratories ), 20 ± 2 grams , are challenged by an intraperitoneal injection of sufficient bacteria ( suspended in hog mucin ) to kill non - treated controls within 24 - 48 hours . antibacterial agents , contained in 0 . 5 ml of 0 . 2 % aqueous agar , are administered subcutaneously or orally 30 minutes after infection . when an oral dosing schedule is used , animals are deprived of food for 5 hours before and 2 hours after infection . five mice are treated at each dose level . the 7 day survival ratios from 3 separate tests are pooled for calculation of median effective dose ( ed 50 ). the claimed compounds exhibit antibacterial activity against a spectrum of tetracycline sensitive and resistant gram - positive and gram - negative bacteria , especially , strains of e . coli , s . aureus and e . faecalis , containing tetm and tetd resistance determinants ; and e . coli containing the tetb and tetd resistance determinants . notable are compounds d , g , and k , as shown in table i , which demonstrated excellent in vitro activity against tetracycline resistant strains containing the tetm resistance determinant ( such as s . aureus ubms 88 - 5 , s . aureus ubmds 90 - 1 and 90 - 2 , e . coli ubms 89 - 1 and 90 - 4 ) and tetracycline resistant strains containing tetb resistance determinants ( such as e . coli ubms 88 - 1 and e . coli tn10c tetb ). these compounds also have good activity against e . coli teta , e . coli tetc and e . coli tetd and are equally as effective as minocycline against susceptible strains and are superior to that of minocycline against a number of recently isolated bacteria from clinical sources ( table i ). minocycline and compounds b , c , d , g and h are assayed in vitro for their ability to inhibit protein synthesis taking place on either wild type or tetm protected ribosomes using a coupled transcription and translation system . all compounds are found to effectively inhibit protein synthesis occuring on wild type ribosomes , having equivalent levels of activity . minocycline is unable to inhibit protein synthesis occurring on tetm protected ribosomes . in contrast , compounds b , c , d , g and h are effective at inhibiting protein synthesis occurring on tetm protected ribosomes ( table ii ). compounds b , c , d , g and h bind reversibly to its target ( the ribosome ) since bacterial growth resumes when the compound is removed from cultures by washing of the organism . therefore , the ability of these compounds to inhibit bacterial growth appears to be a direct consequence of its ability to inhibit protein synthesis at the ribosome level . the activity of compound g against tetracycline susceptible organisms is also demonstrated in vivo in animals infected with s . aureus smith with ed 50 &# 39 ; s between 1 - 2 mg / kg when administered intravenously , and ed 50 &# 39 ; s of 4 - 8 mg / kg when given orally . the improved efficacy of compounds d , g and k is demonstrated by the in vitro activity against isogenic strains into which the resistance determinants , such as tetm and tetb , were cloned ( table i ); and the inhibition of protein synthesis by tetm ribosomes ( table ii ). as can be seen from table i and ii , compounds of the invention may also be used to prevent or control important veterinary diseases such as diarrhea , urinary tract infections , infections of skin and skin structure , ear , nose and troat infections , wound infections , mastitis and the like . ______________________________________compound legend for tables______________________________________a [ 7s -( 7alpha10aalpha )]- n -[ 9 -( aminocarbonyl )- 4 , 7 -
