Description
i 147261
Opfindelsen angår en analogifremgangsmåde til fremstilling af et hidtil ukendt opløseligt salt af (2R-cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)phosphonsyre.
Det omhandlede salt er mono(2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl-5 1,3-propandiol)(2R~cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)phosphonatet med formlen 0 Q> ? H°-fH2 HO-CH -C-NH · HO^ \-/ 21 /\7\ H°-CH2 Η' ^ Ή (2R-cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)phosphonsyre er også kendt som fosfomycin (Merck Index, 9. udgave, 4110).
Fosfomycin og salte heraf med ikke-toksiske baser anvendes 10 i vid udstrækning inden for den humane og veterinære medicin til at hæmme væksten af gram-positive og gram-negative pathogene bakterier.
Dansk patentansøgning nr. 3023/79 omhandler bis(2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl-l,3-propandiol)(2R-cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)phosphonatet, der udviser en tolerance og bio-tilgængelighed, der er betydelig bedre end natrium- og calciumsaltene af fosfomycin.
Imidlertid giver bis(2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl-l,3-propandiol ) ( 2R- c i s) - (3-methyloxiranyl) pho sphonat en særdeles viskøs opløsning, hvilket gør det vanskeligt at administrere ved injektion.
Det har nu vist sig, at det omhandlede mono(2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propandiol)(2R-cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)-phosphonat samtidig med at det bibeholder fordelene ved bis(2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl-l,3-propandiol)(2R-cis)- 2 147261 ‘ · (3-methyloxiranyl)phosphonat har den fordel, at det giver opløsninger, der er mindre viskøse end de, der fås, når man anvender bis(2-ammonium-2-hydroxy-methyl-1,3-propandiol)(2R-cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)-5 phosphonat svarende til samme mængde fosfomycin.
Mere specielt udviser en opløsning bestående af henholdsvis 688 mg og 1377 mg af bis(2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl- 1,3-propandiol)(2R-cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)phosphonat (svarende til henholdsvis 250 og 500 mg fosfomycin) 10 i 2,5 ml vand en viskositet på henholdsvis 4,8 og 7,2 cP ved 25 °C. De tilsvarende opløsninger udviser ved opløsning af henholdsvis 470 mg og 940 mg mono-(2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl-l,3-propandiol)(2R-cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)phosphonat i 2,5 ml vand ved 25 °C 15 en viskositet på henholdsvis 3,9 og 5,0 cP.
Det omhandlede mono(2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl-l,3-propandiol)(2R-cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)phosphonat fremstilles ifølge opfindelsen ved at bis {-2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl-l,3-propandiol)(2R-cis)-(3-methyl-20 oxiranyl)phosphonat fremstillet som beskrevet i dansk patentansøgning nr. 3023/79 omsættes med en alkan-, aren- eller aralkansulfonsyre. Fremstillingen af det omhandlede- salt' og de fysisk-kemiske data for den fremstillede forbindelse, er angivet i det følgende eksempel.
Eksempel
En opløsning forud opvarmet ved 75° C bestående af 262,5 g (1,58 mol) monohydratiseret 4-toluensulfonsyre i 1300 ml absolut ethanol sættes til en suspension af 500 mg (1,315 mol) bis(2-ammonium-2-hydroxymethyl-l,3-propandiol)(2R-cis)-(3-methyloxiranyl)phosphonat i 300 ml absolut ethanol, og der opvarmes under omrøring ved 70 - 75° C.
