Abstract

ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to the arginine salt of amoxycillin, to a process for the preparation thereof and to pharmaceutical compositions containing said salt, which has antibiotic properties.

Description

The pre~ent invention relates to a salt. More particularly, the invention is concerned with a salt of a penicillanic acid derivative, a proces-s for the manufacture thereof and pharmaceutical preparations containing same.

The salt provided by the present invention is the salt of 6-l(R)-a-amino-p-hydroxyphenylacetamido]-penicillanic acid with arginine.

6-[(R)-a-Amino-p-hydroxyphenylacetamido]-penicillanic acid is an antibiotic which is known under the name amoxycillin and which ha~ a wide spectrum of activity. Amoxycillin, which is practically in~oluble in water and aqueous solutions, as well a it3 hitherto known salts, can not be administered parenterally.

There has accordingly been a need for a new, non-toxic, parenterally admini~trable form of amoxycillin while retaining the antibiotic propertiea thereof.

It has now been found in accordance with the present invention that the arginine ~alt of amoxycillin satisfies the foregoing requirements.

According to the process provided by the pre~ent invention, the arginine salt of amoxycillin is manufactured by reacting 6-[(R)-a-amino-p-hydroxyphenylacetamido]--penicillanic acid or a hydrated form thereof, the amino group Me/26.6.1975 - 2 -being optionally present in protected form, with arginine and cleaving off a protecting group which may be present.

The 6-[(R)--amino-p-hydroxyphenylacetamido]-penicillanic acid used as the starting material can contain an amino group provided with a protecting group instead of a free amino group, Such a protected amino group is then converted, following the reaction of the 6-[tR)-~-amino-p-hydroxyphenylacetamido]-penicillanic acid with arginlne, into a free amino group in a manner known per se. Thus, for example, an optionally sub-stituted benzyloxycarbonylamino group can be re-converted into a free amino group by catalytical hydrogenation.

In the reaction of amoxycillin or a hydrated form thereof with arginine there are preferably used equivalent amounts of both reactants. ~owever, an excess of up to about 10% of arginine can be used if desired. The reaction can be carried out in the presence of water, methanol, dimethyl sulphoxide, dlmethylformamide or the like, or in the presence of a mixture of propyleneglycol and methanol or of a mixture of water or propyleneglycol on the one side and ethanol, propanol or iso-propanol on the other side, as a solvent, there being prefer-ably used methanol, a mixture of propyleneglycol and methanol or a mixture of water or propyleneglycol on the one side and ethanol, propanol or isopropanol on the other side. Most preferred ls the use of a mixture of propyleneglycol and ethanol. The reaction i5 conveniently carried out at a temper~

ture between about 0C and 30C. The reaction is preferably carried out at room temperature or, when water is used as the solvent, at 5C.

When the reaction of amoxycillin or a hydrated form thereof with arginine ls carried out in the presence of water as a solvent, the isolation of the arginlne salt of amoxycillin from the reaction mixture can be carried out by lyophilisation.
When the reaction of amoxycillin of a hydrated form thereof with arginine is carried out in the presence of a solvent other than water, e.g. methanol, dimethyl sulphoxide or dimethylformamide, the lsolation of the arginine salt of amoxy-clllin from the reaction mixture can be carried out by stirring the reaction mixture in a second solvent, e.g. diethyl ether, ethyl acetate or the llke, in which the arginine salt of amoxy-cillin is insoluble. In thls case, at least 2 volumes of the second solvent are conveniently used per volume of the first solvent.

When the reactlon of axginine with amoxycillin or a hydrated form thereof is carried out in the presence of a mixture of water and ethanol, propanol or isopropanol, as a solvent, there are conveniently used 15-25 volumes, preferably 20 volumes, of water per 100 volumes of ethanol and 40-60 volumes, preferably 50 volumes, of water per 100 volumes of propanol or isopropanol. When the reaction of arginine with amoxycillin or a hydrated form thereof is carried out in the presence of a mixture of propyleneglycol and methanol, ethanol, propanol or isopropanol, as a solvent, there are conveniently used 30-50 volumes, preferably 40 volumes, of propyleneglycol per 100 volumes of methanol or ethanol and 60-100 volumes, preferably 75 volumes, of propyleneglycol per 100 volumes of propanol or isopropanol. When a mixture of propyleneglycol and methanol or a mixture of water or propyleneglycol on the one side and ethanol, propanol or isopropanol on the other side is used as a solvent, the arginine salt of amoxycillin can be isolated from the reaction mixture by stirring the reaction mixture in a solvent, conveniently ethanol, propanol or iso-propanol, in which the arglnine salt of amoxycillin is insoluble.
In order to precipitate the arginine salt of amoxycillin, there are conveniently used 3 volumes of one of these three solvents per volume of the mixture of propyleneglycol and methanol or per volume of the mixture of water or propyleneglycol on the one side and ethanol, propanol or isopropanol on the other side, used as solvent in the reaction of arginine with amoxy-clllin.

The arginine salt of amoxycillin has an antibioticactivity in the order of that of amoxycillin. It possess a wide spectrum of activity against gram-positive and gram--negative microorganisms.

The salt provided by the present invention can be used for the treatment and prophylaxis of infectious diseases and as disinfection agents. Individual dosages of ca 0.25 g to
2 g up to four times per day can be administered to adults.

On the basis of its excellent water-solubility (more than 10%) and of its excellent local tolerability, the salt provided by the present invention is particularly suitable for parenteral administration.

The acute toxicity (LD 50) of the arginine salt of amoxycillin amounts to 2500-5000 mg/kg upon intraveneous administration and to more than 5000 mg/kg upon subcutaneous administration to mice. The activity (CD 50) of the arginine salt of amoxycillin against Escherichia coli upon subcutaneous administration to mice amounts to 4.5 mg/kg.

Pharmaceutical preparations provided by the present invention can contain the arginine salt of amoxycillin in association with a compatible pharmaceutical carrier material.
Such a carrier material can be an organic or inorganic inert carrier material suitable for enteral or, especially, parenteral administration such as, for example, water, gelatin, gum arabic, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate and the like. The pharmaceutical preparations can be made up in a solid form (e.g. as tablets, dragées, suppositories or capsules) or, especially, in a liquid form (e.g. as aqueous solutions). The pharmaceutical preparations may be sterilised and/or may contain adjuvants such as preserving, stabilising, wetting or emul~ifying agents, salts for varying the osmotic pressure or buffers. The pharmaceutical preparations may also contain therapeutically valuable materials other than the salt provided by the present invention. Preferably, the arginine salt of amoxycillin ls contained as active substance in a dry ampoule.
