Description

SPECIFICATION New organic compounds, processes for their production and their use The present invention concerns noval derivatives of cephalosporanic acid, processes for their production and their use as pharmaceuticals.
A wide range of oximinoacetylaminocephalosporanic acid derivatives is known generally as is the antimicrobial activity thereof.
The present invention provides a novel group of cephalosporanic acid derivatives and salts thereof not previously disclosed as such. The compounds of the invention exhibit particularly advantageous anti-microbial properties.
More particularly the invention provides compounds of formula I
wherein R, represents 2-aminothiazol-4-yl or 1 H-pyrazol-3-yl, R2 represents hydrogen, alkyl, carboxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, cyanoalkyl or carbamoylalkyl, R3 represents hydrogen, pivaloyloxymethyl, an easily removable ester group or a cation, and R4 represents optionally substituted aminotetrazolyl and salts thereof, processes for their production and their use as pharmaceuticals.
According to the invention these compounds can be prepared a) when R2 is other than alkoxycarbonylalkyl and R3 represents hydrogen or a cation, reacting a compound of formula II
wherein R, R2 and R3 are as defined for formula I, with a compound of formula Ill HS-R4 Ill wherein R4 is as defined above, and in which any free amino group may, if required, be protected and if required removing any protecting group in the product thus obtained or b) when R2 represents carboxyalkyl, hydrolysing the corresponding compound of formula I wherein R2 represents alkoxycarbonylalkyl or carbamoylalkyl or c) when R2 is other than carboxyalkyl, reacting a compound of formula IV
wherein R3 and R4 are as defined above and R5 represents hydrogen or an amino protecting group, with a compound of formula V
wherein R1 is as defined above and B2, has the same meaning as R2 with the exception of carboxyalkyl, or a reactive derivative thereof; and if desired converting a compound of formula I thus obtained wherein R3 represents hydrogen and/or R2 represents carboxyalkyl into an ester, or salt thereof, or if desired removing an ester group if present as R3 or on R2; and recovering the compounds of the formula I thus obtained in free form or in the form of a salt as required.
Process a) can be carried in conventional manner such as described in "Cephalosporins and Penicillins", Edwin H. Flynn, Acad. Press 1972, page 676. Conventional amino protecting groups may be employed. These can be removed conventionally e.g. by hydrolysis.
The reaction is such that while starting materials may contain esterified carboxy groups as COOR3 (R3+H) or R2 these will be split off during the reaction itself.
Process b) can be carried out in conventional manner for example by dissolving a starting material containing carbamoyl alkyl in a mixture of acetic acid and dilute sulphuric acid and adding at reduced temperature (e.g. ca. 0 C) an aqueous solution of an alkali metal nitrite. In cases where the starting material contains an alkoxycarbonylalkyl group as R2, hydrolysis can for example be carried out using aqueous NaOH.
Suitable reactive derivatives of the acid of formula V include acid halides or acid anhydrides, for example with pivalic acid or carbonic acid half-esters, activated complexes with dimethyl formamide/phosphorous oxychloride, acid azides or activated esters, for example derived from phenols, cyclic N-hydroximides or heterocyclic thiols, e.g. 2-pyridinethiol, 2,2'-dithiopyridine or particular 2benzthiazolthiol. The process is suitably effected by dissolving or suspending the compound of formula V or derivative thereof in an inert solvent, such as chlorinated hydrocarbon, e.g. dichloromethane, or an acid ester, e.g. ethyl acetate. This solution or suspension is then suitably added to a solution or suspension of the compound of formula IV in an inert solvent, e.g. an acid ester, such as ethyl acetate, or an aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g. toluene.The process is conveniently effected at a temperature of, e.g.
-200C to room temperature. When the compound of formula V is used in free acid form, a condensation agent, such as dicyclohexyl carbodiimide or carboxydiimidazole is suitably added.
Where a compound of formula I is desired, in which the COOH group of the cephalosporanic acid is in free form, it is convenient to protect the carboxylic acid function in the starting material of formula IV prior to reaction with the compound of formula V or derivative thereof. Conventional methods of protection may be employed. Examples of such protecting groups are tert.butyl, benzhydryl, ethyl, acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl or trimethylsilyl.
These can be introduced by esterification e.g. in the case of trimethylsilyl by reaction with N,O- bis-trimethylsilylacetamide.
Removal of protecting groups can be carried out conventionally e.g. by hydrolysis.
In process a) and c) substantially neutral conditions are preferred.
The resulting compounds of formula I may be isolated and purified using conventional techniques. Where required, free acids (e.g. R3=H or R2=carboxyalkyl) may be converted into salt forms, e.g. alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salt forms in conventional manner, and vice versa. Such salt forms are to be understood to include solvate forms obtained e.g. after recrystallisation from, for example, water or ethanol.
It will also be appreciated that various compounds of formula I may be inter-converted. For example, free acids (e.g. R3=H or R2=carboxyaíkyl) may be esterified in conventional manner to obtain compounds in which R3 is pivalcyloxymethyl or the residue of an easily splittable ester grouping or R2 is alkoxycarbonylalkyl or carbamoylalkyl). The latter may themselves be split in conventional manner to obtain free acids.
When R, represents a 1 H-pyrazol-3-yl nucleus this may exist in its other tautomeric form:
(lH-pyrazol-5-yl) (lH-pyrazol-3-yl) The position of the tautomeric equilibrium will, of course, depend on known factors such as temperature, aggregation condition, solvent and pH. Naturally, the invention is not limited to any particular tautomeric form.
The group OR2 in the compounds of the invention may be in the syn or anti-configuration to the carbonamido group. It is to be understood that the invention includes both isomeric forms as well as mixtures thereof. The syn isomers or isomeric mixtures in which the syn isomer predominates, e.g. to the extent of at least 75%, more particularly at least 90%, are however preferred.
If starting materials are employed in the form of syn isomers, then the product may be a syn isomer or a mixture of the syn and an anti-isomer, depending on type of substitution and reaction conditions. Individual isomers may be isolated from mixtures by e.g. chromatographic methods.
The starting materials of formula II are either known or where novel can be produced analogously to known methods such as a)i) when in formula II R2 is other than carboxyalkyl reacting a compound of formula IVa
wherein R3' represents hydrogen, pivaloyloxymethyl or a carboxyl protecting group with a compound of formula V as defined above or a reactive derivative thereof, b)i) when in formula II R2 represents hydrogen, hydrogenating a compound of formula Ila
wherein R, and R3 are as defined above, c)i) when in formula II R2 represents carboxyalkyl hydrolysing a corresponding compound of formula II wherein R2 represents carbamoylalkyl or alkoxycarbonylalkyl, and, if desired, converting a compound of formula II thus obtained wherein R3 represents hydrogen and/or R2 represents carboxyalkyl into an ester, or salt thereof, or if desired, removing an ester group if present as R3 or on R2; and recovering the compounds of the formula II thus obtained in free form or in the form of a salt as required.
Process a)i) can be carried out analogously to c) above.
Hydrogenation according to b)i) can be carried out in conventional manner. for example the starting material (ill) can be dissolved or suspended in a solvent inert under the reaction conditions (e.g. water) and hydrogenated with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst e.g. Pd/active charcoal.
Process c)i) can also be curried out in conventional manner. For example the starting material can be dissolved in a mixture of acetic and sulphuric acids and a solution of an alkali metal nitrite added at low temperature (e.g. OOC).
The compounds of formula Ill are new and thus also form part of the invention. They can be prepared, for example, as illustrated in the following reaction schemes. (Re and R8=independently H, lower acyl, lower alkyl or any of the other of the amino substituents listed hereinafter)
Process b) which also forms part of the invention can be carried qut in an inert solvent such as an alcohol (e.g. methanol or ethanol), an aliphatic ketone and aliphatic or aromatic ether or hydrocarbon or an aprotic dipolar solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide.or one or two phase mixtures of these with water and at temperatures of from -200C to 2000C (preferably 20.to 1 000C).
Examples of azides as MN3 are alkalimetal azides e.g. sodium-, potassium- or lithium azide or ammonium azide. Quaternary ammonium azides can also be employed.
Examples of B5-Y leaving groups are those wherein Y represents oxygen or sulphur and R5 represents C15 alkyl, e.g. methyl, aralkyl, e.g. benzyl, aryl e.g. phenyl, tolyl. Examples of such groups are methylthio and preferably tolyloxy or phenoxy.
The process can also be carried out under conventional phase transfer conditions.
The starting materials can be prepared in conventional manner (cf. K. A. Jensen et.al. Acta. Chem.
Scand. 23, 1916-1934 [1969]).
The compounds of formula IV are also new and form part of the invention. They can be prepared analogously to process a) above by reacting a compound of formula IVb
with a compound of formula Ill, or where esterified carboxy groups are required by esterifying the corresponding free carboxy compounds in conventional manner.
The compounds of formula I possess chemotherapeutic, in particular anti-microbial activity as indicated by their inhibiting effect against various bacteria, e.g. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus morganii, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcescens, Salmonella Heidelberg, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, in vitro in the series dilution test at concentrations of, for example, 0.01 to 50 ,ug/ml, and in vivo in the mouse at dosages of, for example, about 0.1 to 100 mg/kg of animal body weight. The compounds are thus indicated for use as chemotherapeutics, e.g. as antibacterially active antibiotics.
An indicated suitable daily dosage for use as antibacterially active antibiotics is from about 60 to 3000 mg, 1000 to 3000 mg or 60 to 2000 mg.
The compounds of formula I may be employed in free acid form or in the form of a chemotherapeutically acceptable salt thereof, with a base or in the form of a chemotherapeutically acceptable solvate thereof, which forms have the same order of activity as the free acid. Suitable salt forms include alkali and alkaline earth metal and ammonium or amino acid salt forms which can also be in solvate form, for example, as hydrates and ethanolates.
The compounds may be admixed with conventional chemotherapeutically acceptable diluents and carriers, and administered in such forms as tablets or capsules or, particularly, parenterally. Such compositions also form part of the invention.
The'invention therefore also concerns a method of combatting bacteria comprising administering to a subject in need of such treatment an effective amount of a compound of formula I or a chemotherapeutically acceptable salt thereof and such compounds for use as chemotherapeutic agents, in particular anti-bacterially active antibiotics.
Alkyl groups appearing as substituents preferably have 1 to 4 especially 1 or 2 carbon atoms.
Bridging alkyl groups can be straight or branch-chained and include e.g. methylene and dimethylmethylene. R2 preferably represents alkyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl or carbamoylalkyl. When R3 represents an easily removable ester group this can be e.g. 1 -ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl or 5-indanyl or especially hexanoyloxymethyl, phthalidyl, ethoxycarbonylmethoxymethyl or 3-ethoxycarbonyl-1 - acetonyl. The amino group on the tetrazole radical R4 can be unsubstituted or substituted by alkyl (mono- or di-), alkylidene, aryl (mono- or di-) or arylidene which in turn can themselves optionally be substituted by amino, hydroxy, C14aIkoxy, a carboxylic- or suiphonic acid residue, carbamido or C14aIkylthio. Aryl can include heterocycles such as furyl.
A particular group of aminotetrazole substituents R4 includes those wherein the amino group is optionally substituted by Alkyl (mono- or di-), lower acyl (mono- or di-), benzylidene, dimethylaminomethylidene. Particularly preferred are amino monoalkylamino- and benzylideneaminotetrazole. Compounds wherein the OR2 group is in syn transfiguration are also preferred.
A particularly preferred single compound is 7-[(methoximino)-2-aminothiazol-4-yl-acetyljamino- 3-desacetoxy-3-( -amino-l H-tetrazol-5-yl-thio)cephalosporanic acid and salts thereof e.g. the sodium salt.
The following examples illustrate the invention. All temperatures are in degrees centigrade.
Example 1 7-[(Methoxi mino)-2-aminothiazol-4-yl-acetyl]amino-3-desacetoxy-3-( 1 -benzylidenamino-1 Htetrazol-5-yl-thio)cephalosporanic acid sodium salt (syn isomer, cmpd. no. 1) (process a) The pH value of a mixture of 477 mg syn-7-[(methoximino)-2-aminothiazol-4-ylacetyl]aminocephalosporanic acid and 205 mg of 1 -benzylidenamino-5-mercapto-1 H-tetrazole in 30 ml of water at 60O is held constant at 7.0 by the addition of 1 N NaOH. After 63 hours the pH of the reaction mixture is adjusted to 4.0 with 1 N HCI and the title compound extracted using ethylacetate.
The product can be purified, if required by chromatography on RP-18 silica gel.
Example 2 7-[(Methoximino)-2-aminothiazol-4-yl-acetyl]amino-3-desacetoxy-3-( 1-amino-I H-tetrazol-5-ylthio)cephalosporanic acid sodium salt (syn isomer, cmpd. no. 2) (process c) 780 mg of 7-amino-3-desacetoxy-3-( l-amino-l H-tetrazol-5-yl-thio)cephalosporanic acid sodium salt are suspended in a mixture of 5 ml of water, 2.5 ml of acetone and 6.2 ml of ethanol and adjusted to pH 7.0 using 1 N NaOH. Following the addition of 996 mg of syn-[(methoximino)-2aminothiazol-4-yl]acetic acid mercaptobenzthiazol ester the suspension is stirred for 3 hours at 400 and 36 hours at 500 while maintaining the pH value at 7.0. After cooling to 200 any solid residue is removed by filtration and the filtrate concentrated.The resulting precipitate is filtered and the filtrate (pH 7) extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase is acidified to pH 2.5 and the resulting precipitate filtered. Extraction of the filtrate (Sxwith ethylacetate/n-butanol=2/1), drying of the extracts with Mg SO4, concentration on a rotary evaporator and trituration of the residue with diisopropylether yields the title compound. After dissolving this raw product in water/NaHCO3 and reverse phase chromatography (RP-18, elution with water) the pure substance is obtained.
To prepare the free acid 100 mg of the sodium salt are dissolved in 4 ml of water and acidified to pH 2.5 using 1 N HCI. The resulting free acid is filtered off washed with water and dried for 5 hours at 20 dgrs under high vacuum. A white powder is obtained.
The compound of this example can also be prepared analogously to example 1.
Example 3 7-[(Methoxycarbonyl methoximino)-2-aminothiazol-4-yl-acetyljamino-3-desacetoxy-3-( amino 1 H-tetrazol-5-yl thio)cephalosporanic acid sodium salt (syn isomer, cmpd. no. 3) (process c) 1.92 g of syn-[(methoxycarbonylmethoximino)-2-aminothiazol-4-yI]acetic acid and 2.37 g of triphenylphosphine are suspended in 40 ml of dichloromethane and at 40 3g of mercaptobenzthiazole disulphide added. This suspension is stirred for 1 + hours at 40, 5 hours at 200 and a further 1 6 hours at 40 and then concentrated to an oily residue.To this is added a solution prepared from 7-amino-3 desacetoxy-3-(1 -amino-l H-tetrazol-5-yl-thio)cephalosporanic acid sodium salt, 10 ml of water, 5 ml of acetone and 1 2 ml of ethanol. The reaction mixture is stirred for 3 hours at 400 and 1 hour at 450 while maintaining the pH value at 7.0. After concentration on a rotary evaporator the aqueous residue is diiuted with a little water and extracted at pH 7.0 with ethyl acetate. Acidification of the aqueous phase to pH 3 yields a raw product which after reverse phase chromatography (RP-18, elution with H20/CH3CN=95/5) results in the title product.
