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 . |
