Abstract
A process for obtaining highly pure crystalline cefuroxime axetil comprises crystallising cefuroxime axetil from a solution thereof in an organic or aqueous solvent or a mixture thereof and then drying and isolating the product. Preferred solvents are alkyl acetates in admixture with ethers or aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons. The higher the yield from crystallisation, the closer to a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of R:S isomers the product will contain, this being most desirable for an antibiotic product which is to be administered orally.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Improvements in or relating to cephalosporins
This invention relates to improvements in or relating to cephalosporins. More particularly it relates to improvements in the manufacture of cefuroxime 1-acetoxyethyl ester (cerfuroxime axetil).
The compound (6R,7R)-3-carbamoyloxymethyl-7 t(Z)-2-(fur-2-y1 )-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]ceph-3- em-4-carboxylic acid has the approved name "cefuroxime". This compound is a valuable antibiotic characterised by high broad spectrum activity against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, this property being enhanced by the very high stability of the compound to ss-lactamases produced by a range of gram-negative microorganisms. It is well tolerated in the mammalian body and is used widely as an antibiotic in clinical practice.
Cefuroxime and its salts are principally of value as injectable antibiotics since they are poorly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract and are therefore present in sera and urine only in low concentrations after oral administration. There has therefore been a need for a form of cefuroxime which is capable of being absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract following oral administration.
We have found that appropriate esterification of the carboxyl group of cefuroxime improves the effectiveness on oral administration. The presence of such an appropriate esterifying group results in significant absorption of the compound from the gastro-intestinal tract, whereupon the esterifying group is hydrolysed by enzymes present in, for example, serum and body tissues to yield the antibiotically active parent acid. To be effective upon oral administration the ester must be stable enough to reach the site of absorption without significant degradation, must be sufficiently absorbed upon reaching the appropriate site, and must be sufficiently susceptible to hydrolysis by systemic esterases for the parent acid to be liberated within a short time of the ester being absorbed.British Patent Specification No. 1571683 discloses and claims a number of esters of cefuroxime as having properties rendering them of significant potential value as orally administrable antibiotics.
Of the esters described in British Patent Specification No. 1571683, we have found cefuroxime axetil to be of particular interest. This product possesses an asymmetric carbon atom at the 1-position of the 1-acetoxyethyl group and can therefore exist in the form of R and S isomers or mixtures thereof. The processes for the preparation of the above ester exemplified in British Patent Specification No.
1571683 produce the material either in relatively impure amorphous form or in the form of a crystalline material. Furthermore, the crystalline material produced by the methods described in this specification generally contains a predominance of either the
R or the S isomer whereas an approximately 1:1 ratio is advantageous for administration. The crystalline product is not therefore ideally suited to administration.
We have now been able to develop a process whereby cefuroxime axetil may be obtained in highly pure crystalline form and in high yield. Such a product is not only useful from the point of view of being a highly pure form of the active compound and hence more suitable for biological administration but, more particularly, is also highly useful as a starting material for the preparation of a highly pure, substantially amorphous form of cefu roxime axetil, which form we have surprisingly found has high bioavailability upon oral administration and a better balance of properties for commercial use than the crystalline material.The amorphous cefuroxime axetil which has these properties is desirably an approximately 1:1 ratio of R to S isomers since this has been found to be of value in maximising the solubility in aqueous media of the amorphous product, and the process we have developed can provide crystalline cefuroxime axetil having this approximate ratio of isomers.
Accordingly, we provide a process for the preparation of highly pure crystalline cefuroxime axetil in high yield which comprises crystallising cefuroxime axetil from a solution thereof in an organic or aqueous solvent or a mixture thereof, isolating and drying the product.
The choice of crystallisation solvent has been found important if the yield is to be maximised and the R to S isomer ratio of the product is to be, as is desirable, approximately 1 for example in the range 0.9:1 to 1.1:1. We have found the different isomers of cefuroxime axetil to have different solubilities, one of them being consistently more soluble than the other. The levels of solubility vary according to the solvent, and so a solvent system will desirably be chosen which allows a practically quantitative recovery of the cefuroxime axetil that is present prior to crystallisation, thereby assuring an approximately 1:1 ratio of isomers.
The solvent system from which the product may be crystallised will desirably be selected from an ester, for example methyl or ethyl acetate, or a halogenated hydrocarbon such as methylene chloride, optionally but preferably in admixture with an ether, for example diisopropyl ether or an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon, for example petroleum ether ortoluene; or an alcohol, for example ethanol or isopropanol, optionally but preferably in admixture with water, such as in aqueous industrial methylated spirit; or an amide, such as dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide, or ketone, such as acetone, in admixture with water.
The crystallisation step will desirably be carried out at ambient temperature, for example at from about 10 to 300C and the concentration of the cefuroxime axetil in the solution from which crystallisation will occur will generally be adjusted e.g. by evaporation of solvent or by dilution so as to be neither too dilute nor too concentrated respectively.
The crystallisation may comprise the last stage or stages of a reaction in which the cefuroxime axetil is formed. In such a case, the initial stage of crystallisation may occur at quite a high temperature, e.g. up to about 65"C, but in orderto maximise the yield and obtain a suitable ratio of isomers in the product, a temperature range of from 10 to 30 is preferred for the final isolation.
The reaction in which the cefuroxime axetil is formed will preferably be an esterification reaction carried out in the manner described in British Patent
Specification No. 1,571,683 and using a highly pure sodium cefuroxime starting material. A preferred reagent for the esterification is 1-acetoxyethyl bromide and in order to produce an approximately 1:1 ratio of R and S isomers priorto recrystallisation, itis clearly preferred that such a reagent be racemic.
The preferred sodium cefuroxime starting material will generally be itself highly pure. Such a material may be obtained inter alia, by reaction of (6R,7R)-3- hydroxymethyl-7-[Z-2-(fur-2-y1 )-2- methoxyiminoacetamido]ceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid with chlorosulphonyl isocyanate in an alkyl acetate as solvent at a temperature of from -25" to + 1 00C, followed by hydrolysis in situ at a temperature of +10 to +300C and crystallisation following addition of sodium 2-ethylhexanoate in acetone or methyl acetate as solvent. Such a material will generally have a purity level of 90% mass/mass (mim) or greater.
The cefuroxime axetil produced by the process of this invention has an R to S isomer mole ratio of approximately 1:1, and is generally not less than 95% mlm pure (uncorrected for residual solvents).
In its highly pure, crystalline form the cefuroxime axetil which may be produced by the process of this invention is a novel form of matter and constitutes a further aspect of this invention. A sample of this material has the IR spectrum in Nujol shown in the accompanying drawing.
The invention will now be illustrated by the following non-limiting Preparation and Examples.
The individual Rand S isomers of cefuroxime 1-acetoxyethyl ester are denoted for convenience by the letters A and B, these letters being used to denote the respective isomers as in British Patent
No. 1571683. The identities of isomers A and B have not been assigned. The isomer ratios given in the following Examples are expressed as A:B. All temperatures are given in C.
Preparation 1
Sodium Cefuroxime
Chlorosulphonyl isocyanate (226 ml) was added to a solution oftriethylamine (10 ml) in methyl acetate (3.81). The resulting clear solution was cooled to -15" and a suspension of (6R,7R)-3-hydroxymethyl-7 [Z-2-(fur-2-yl )-2-methoxyim inoacetamido]ceph3- em-4-carboxylic acid (7639) in methyl acetate (2.3 1), pre-cooled to -15 , was added over 10 minutes. The residual solid was rinsed in with methyl acetate (700 ml). The mixture was stirred at -5"for 30 minutes, a clear solution being obtained after 10 minutes.
Water (1.2 1) at 180 was added rapidly to the reaction mixture, the temperature rising quickly to 100 and then slowly to 172 The mixture was stirred for 60 minutes at 150 to give a thick, white suspension.
Methyl acetate (3.6 1) was added followed by a steady addition of a solution of sodium hydroxide (288 g) in water (5.2 1). This gave a clear two-phase mixture at 26 with a pH of 2.35. The layers were separated and the upper, organic layer was washed with a solution of sodium chloride (600 g) in water (2
I).The two aqueous layers were washed sequential
ly with methyl acetate (2 1). The organic layers were bulked, stirred with Norit SX Plus charcoal (76 g) for 30 minutes and filtered through a bed of Hyflo
Supercel, the bed being washed with methyl acetate (1.5 1). The filtrate and wash were combined and stirred at 20 whilst a solution of sodium 2ethylhexanoate (338 g) in a mixture of methyl acetate (2 1) and water (40 ml) was added over 20 minutes to give a white suspension with a pH of 5.5.
The suspension was stirred for 10 minutes and filtered, and the cake was washed with methyl acetate (5 x 1 I), sucked dry, and dried at 30 in vacuo for 24 hours to give sodium cefuroxime (851.9 g); [,,]2o + 600, (c0,5; 0.1 M pH 4.5 buffer); Amax (H2O) 273

Example 1 Cefuroxime Axetil (RS)-1 -Acetoxyethylbromide (12.5 g) was added to a stirred mixture of sodium cefuroxime (20 g) (prepared by a method similar to that in Preparation 1) in dimethyl acetamide (110 ml) at 0 C. The mixture was stirred at +1" for 90 minutes and potassium carbonate (0.5g) was added. Stirring was continued for a further 2 hours at 1-3" when the reaction mixture was added to a rapidly stirred mixture of ethyl acetate (200 ml) and aqueous 3% sodium bicarbonate (200 ml) to destroy any excess 1acetoxy-ethylbromide. After 1 hour the organic layer (1.5% A2 isomer by HPLC) was separated, washed with M hydrochloric acid (100 ml) and aqueous 20% sodium chloride containing 2% sodium bicarbonate (30 ml).All three aqueous phases were sequentially washed with ethyl acetate (100 ml). The combined organic extracts were stirred for 30 minutes with charcoal (Norit SX Plus; 2g), filtered through a kieselguhr bed which was washed with ethyl acetate (2 x 25 ml). The combined filtrate and washes were evaporated in vacuo to 150 g and stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour until the crystallisation was well established. Di-isopropyl ether (250 ml) was added over 45 minutes to complete the crystallisation and stirring was continued for an additional 1 hour.The product was collected by filtration, washed with 2:1 di-isopropyl ether/ethyl acetate (150 ml) and dried for a weekend in vacuo at 50 to give crystalline cefuroxime axetil (19.3 g) with an infrared spectrum in Nujol as shown in the Figure in the accompanying drawing which is typical of a mixture of crystalline isomers.

Stirring at the foregoing temperature was continued for 45 minutes and potassium carbonate (0.5 g) was added. After stirring the mixture for an additional 45 minutes at 15 it was poured into a rapidly stirred mixture of ethyl acetate (200 ml) and aqueous 3% sodium bicarbonate (200 ml). After 1 hour the layers were separated and the organic phase (HPLC showed 1.6% A2isomer) was washed with M hydrochloric acid (100 ml) and aqueous 20% sodium chloride containing 2% sodium bicarbonate (30 ml).
All the aqueous phases were sequentially washed with ethyl acetate (100 ml). The combined organic extracts were stirred for 30 minutes with charcoal (Norit SX Plus; 2 g), filtered through a bed of kiesielguhr which was washed with ethyl acetate (2 x 25 ml). After evaporating the combined filtrate and washes to 120 g the concentrate was stirred for 20 minutes to enable crytallisation to become established. Industrial methylated spirit (120 ml) was added rapidly followed over 15 minutes by distilled water (240 ml). The resultant slurry was concentrated in vacuo to 310 g and stirred at ambient temperature for 45 minutes.

The mixture was stirred for a further 90 minutes at 14-16 , adding 60-mesh potassium carbonate (0.5g) halfway through this period. The red-brown mixture was then diluted with ethyl acetate (200 ml) and 3% aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (200 ml) and stirred for an hour at ambient temperature (ca 25 ).
The layers were then separated and the aqueous layer was re-extracted with ethyl acetate (200 ml) and discarded (or, 0.21"/dm). The organic solutions were washed sequentially with M hydrochloric acid (100 ml), then 20% sodium chloride (30 ml) containing 2% sodium hydrogen carbonate and were then combined and treated with Norit SX Plus charcoal (2 g) for 25 minutes. The charcoal was filtered off through a Standard Supercel pad, the filter was washed with ethyl acetate (50 ml), and the combined filtrates were evaporated in vacuo to 120 g. The residual solution was seeded, stirred at 220 for 1 hour when toluene (250 ml was run into the stirred slurry over 30 minutes, and the mixture stirred for a further 30 minutes.
