Description

o~
This invention re]ates to penicillins and their production. More particularly, it relates to novel derivatives _ of 6-(~-aminophenylacetamido)-penicillanic acid and 6~(~-amino-thienylacetamido)-penicillanic acid and to processes for their production.
As is well known, 6-(~-aminophenylacetamido)-penicillanic acid (i.e. ampicillin) inhibits the growth of various gram-positive and gram-negative bateria but does not exert any appreciable antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas. In U.S. patent No.
3,433,784, certain N-acyl derivatives of ampicillin are described as showing a minimal inhibitory concentration of 125 to 250~ ~g/ml against Pseudomonas pyocinea A or R 59, when determined by the standard test method. The anti-Pseudomonas activity of the compounds described in the working examples is, however, not so high and the antimicrobial activity against other gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is considerably lower. Thus, it may be concluded that these N-acyl derivatives of ampicillin are actually less valuable from the practical viewpoint.
As the result of studies seeking novel penicillins which have a broad antimicrobial spectrum and are highly active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas, it has now been found that penicillins of the following formula characteristically exhibit noticeable antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas and a broad antimicrobial spectrum:

OY
l ~ \C-~ONH-CH-CO~I-CH-CII C ~CH~ (I) C ~ 0~,C- N - CH-~OOH

wherein ( Ç is a six-membered heteroaromatic ring selected from A -pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine and pyrazine, Y is hydrogen, lower alkanoyl or lower alkoxycarbonyl and Rl and R2 are each hy-drogen, lower alkyl, lower alkanoyl, benzoyl, lower alkylmercapto, hydroxyl, mercapto, hydroxy(lower)alkyl, halogen or cyano or R

. .

', ~ ; J

~4~51~4 and R2 linked together represent cyclopenteno, cyclohexeno or cyclohepteno optionally substituted with an oxo group.
The term "lower alkyl" as used herein means straight or branched chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon having from one to eight carbon atoms, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, amyl or isoamyl. Similarly, where the term "lower" is used as a part of the description of any other group (e.g. lower alkoxy, lower alkanoyl, lower alkylmercapto), it refers to the alkyl portion of such group. The heteroaromatic ring may be, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine or pyrazine.

The structural characteristics of the new penicillins of the present invention of general formula (I) are such that the residue ( `C carries an -O-Y group which is linked to a carbon atom adjacent to the carbon atom to which an ampicillin unit is linked. Compounds wherein the residue ( \ C
bears no -O-Y group are antimicrobially much less active than those bearing an -0-Y group and exhibit only the same low anti-microbial activity as those disclosed in U.S. patent 3,433,784 against Pseudomonas as well as other gram-positive and gram- `
negative bacteria.
Among the penicillins (I), particularly effective compounds include D-~-(4-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxamidc)-benzylpenicillin, D-~-(2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine-5-carboxamido)-benzylpenicillin, D-~-(3-hydroxypyridazine-4-carboxamido)-benzylpenicillin, D-~-(3-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxamido)-benzylpenicillin, D-~-(2-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxamido)-benzylpenicillin and D-~-(2-hydroxypyrazine-3-carboxamido)-benzylpenicillin.
According to the present invention, the penicillins (I) can be produced by reacting 6-t~-aminophenylacetamido)-penicillanic acid of the formula:

The derivative of the compound (II) may be, for example, a salt ester or N-substituted derivative thereof. Examples of suitable salts are salts of alkali metals (e.g. sodium or potassium), alkaline earth metals (e.g. calcium or barium), organic bases (e.g. trimethylamine or triethylamine) and organic sulfonic acids ~e.g. toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid or tetrahydro-naphthalenesulfonic acid). Examples of suitable esters and N-substituted derivatives are compounds having the following formulae:

NH N-fH~IH j ~CH3 / R3 / \ C -/- CH-COOSi- R4 wherein R3, R4, R5~ R6 and R7 are each lower alkyl, Further examples of the ester unit for constructing suitable esters of the compound (II) are toluenesulfonylethylester, p-nitrobenzylester, benzylester, phenacylester, diphenylmethylester, substituted diphenylmethylester, tritylester, benzoyloxymethylester, lower alkanoyloxymethylester, dimethylmethyleneaminoester, p-nitrophenylester, methylsulfonylphenylester, methylthiophenylester,t~butylester, 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylester and trichloro-ethylester. These ester units have all been conventionally employed as groups for protecting a carboxylic acid radical in the fields of penicillin, cephalosporin and peptide chemistry.
Furthermore, the salts of the above mentioned esters of the compound (II) can also be employed, for example, hydrochloric acid and organic sulfonic acid (e.g. toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenesu].fonlc acid or tetrahydronaphthalenesulfonic acid) salts. In thls case esters derived from penicillin G by well-known methods are preferred.
The compound (III) may be used as such, i.e. in a free ~(~4~5~D~
or salt form, or in the form of a reactive derivative thereof.
Examples of suitable salts of compound (III) includealkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and organic base (e.g. trimethylamine, triethylamine or dicyclohexylamine) salts.
Reactive derivatives of compound (III) on the carboxyl group thereof include acid halides, acid anhydrides, active amides, acid azides and active esters.
Among the acid halides, the use of an acid ch]oride is most favorable. Examples of suitable acid anhydrides are mixed acid anhydrides and symmetrical acid anhydrides prepared by the use of acids such as toluenesulfonic acid, an alkylcarbonic acid or an aliphatic carboxylic acid (e.g. pivalic acid). Examples of active amldes are those obtained by using imidazole, dimethyl-pyra~ole, triaæole or tetra~ole. Examples of active esters are those prepared by using p-nitrophenol. pentachlorophenol, p-nitrothiophenol, N,N'-dimethylhydroxylamine, l-hydroxy-2(1H)-pyridone, N-hydroxy-succinimide or N-hydroxyphthalimide.
When a compound (III) wherein Y is hydrogen, or a reactive derivative of such compound is used, the hydroxyl group may be protected with any protecting group conventionally employed in this field.
Illustrating some of the suitable reactive derivatives of compound (III), the mixed acid anhydride of the formula:

C \ Rl ~ \ C-Cooy (IV) wherein ( ~C, Rl and R2 are each as defined above, and Y
represents acyl or alkoxycarbonyl, can be prepared by reacting a compound (III) wherein Y is hydrogen with an acyl halide or an alkyl halocarbonate. Thus, the reaction of 1 mole of- compound (III) with 2 moles of an acyl halide (e.g. pivaloyl chloride) or an alkyl halocarbonate (e.g. ethyl chlorocarbonate or isobutyl -~L95~
chlorocarbonate) in the presence of 2 moles of a basic subs~ance affords the compo~lnd (IV) in an excellent yield. The process using the thus obtained mixed acid anhydride (IV) as reactant will be referred to herein as the "mixed anhydride process".
Another type of reactive derivative is a compound of the formula:

Il . , 0~ ~O : .
Rl~c\c~b~o (v) ~:
2 , wherein ( ~C, Rl and R2 are each as defined above, which may be prepared by reacting 1 mole of compound (III) with 1 mole of phosgene in the presence of 2 moles of a basic substance. A
similar type of reactive derivative may be also prepared by the use of thionyl chloride or phosphorus trichloride in place of phosgene. The process using the above cyclic compound (V) or any similar compound as reactant will be referred to herein as the ~phosgene process~'.
Examples of basic substances suitable for use in said reactions are inorganic bases (e.g. sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide) and organic bases (e.g. triethylamine, pyridine, dimethylaniline, lutidine, N-methylmorpholine and N-methylpiperi~
dine).
The above described reactive derivatives are usually so reactive and unstable as to be difficultly isolatable and they are normally left in their reaction mixture for the reaction with the compound (II) to produce the compound (I).
Suitable compounds (III) include pyridine carboxylic acids of the formula:

~(~495~V4 wherein Y is as defined above, R8 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and Rg is lower alkyl, lower alkanoyl, cyano, hydroxy(lower)alkyl or benzoyl, or R8 and R9 are linked together to form lower alkylene, which compounds (VI) may be prepared by condensing a ketone of the formula:

wherein R8 and Rg are each as defined above, with diethyl amino-methylenemalonate of the formula:
H2N-CH=C(COOC2H5)2 and cyclizing the resultant condensation product, followed by hydrolysis. The said compound (VI) may be also produced by condensing an unsaturated amine of the formula: ` ~~-R9-cH-c (NH2) -R8 wherein R8 and Rg are each as defined above, with diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate of the formula:
C2H50-CH=C(COOC2H5)2 and cyclizing the resultant condensation product, followed by hydrolysis.
A compound (VI) wherein R9 is lower alkanoyl may be reduced to give a compound (VI) wherein Rg is hydroxy(lower)alkyl.
Furthermore, a compound (VI) wherein Y is hydrogen may be acylated by a conventional procedure to give a compound (VI) wherein Y is lower alkanoyl or lower alkoxycarbonyl.
Specific examples of compounds (III) are as follows:
4-Hydroxy-2,3-cyclopentenopyridine-5-carboxylic acid, m.p. 263 - 264C (decomp.) 4-Hydroxy-2,3-cyclohexenopyridine-5-carboxylic acid, m.p. 285C (decomp.) 4-Hydroxy-2,3-cycloheptenopyridine-5-carboxylic acid, m.p. 248 - 249C (decomp.) 2-Methyl-3-acetyl-4-hydroxypyridine-5-carboxylic acid, m.p. 260 - 263C (decomp.) 4-Hydroxy-2-methyl-3-benæoylpyridine-5-carboxylic acid, .-.. , ~ : . .

2-Methyl-3-cyano-6-hydroxypyridine-5-carboxylic acid, m.p. 247 - 248C.
The reaction between the compound (II) or its derivative and the compound (III) or its reactive derivative is usually carried out in an inert solvent, such as a polar solvent (e.g. dichloro-methane, chloroform, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, acetonitrile,`~ -methylisobutylketone, ethyl alcohol or dimethylformamide), a non-polar solvent (e.g. benæene, toluene, petroleum ether or n-hexane) or a mixture thereof. In some cases, an aqueous medium may be used. The reaction temperature is not critical but is usually below 50C, preferably from -80 to 50C.
When the compound (III) is employed in the form of a free acid or a salt, a coupling reagent such an N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide, N-cyclohexyl-N'-morpholinoethylcarbodiimide, triphenylphosphine or 2-ethyl-5-(m-sulfonyl)-isoxazolium hydroxide inner salt is preferably used in the reaction with the compound (II). When using such a coupling reagent, the reaction often proceeds through the activated state of the carboxyl group in the compound (III), or the activated state of the amino group in the compound (II).
When a compound (I) wherein Y is lower alkanoyl or lower alkoxycarbonyl is produced, it may be further hydrolyzed in the presence of an inorganic base (e.g~ sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide or ammonia), an organic base (e.g. methylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, benzylamine, morpholine, plperidine, potassium 2-ethylhexanoate or sodium 2-ethylhexanoate), an inorganic acid (e.g. hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid) or an organic acid (e.g. formic acid, .. . . . : ..

~049S~
trifluoroacetic acid or ~ethanesulfonic acid) to give the corres-ponding co~pound (I) wherein Y is hydrogen.
Nhen any protective group i5 present in the resulting product, it may be eliminated by a p~ se conventional procedure such as catalytic reduction or hydrolysis, favorably under mild conditions.
The penicillin (I) produced may, if desired, be converted into a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in a per se conventional manner. Examples of ~uitable salts are salts of alkali metals (e~g. sodium or potassium), salts of alkaline earth metals (e.g. calcium or ~agnesium), an ammonium salt, substituted ammonium salts, amine salts (e.g. triethylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, ~-benzyl-~-phenethylamine, l-ephenamine, N,N'-diben~ylethylenediamine, dehydroabietylamine or N,N'-bis-dehydroabietylethylenediamine salts), or an arginine salt.
