Description

SPECIFICATION Compounds having antibacterial activity, their preparation and use The present invention is concerned with antibacterial compounds belonging to the class of the so called "quinolones", whose known first example is nalidixic acid. More recent representatives of said class (norfloxacine, pefloxacine, ciprofloxacine, enoxacine etc.) exhibit in comparison with previous compounds, a remarkably higher activity spectrum and potency. Together with these advantages they exbihit however, even if to a different extent, the drawback of a low absorption.
The present invention refers to compounds of general formaula (I)
wherein R represents an alkoxylakyl, alkanoyloxyalkyl, aroyloxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aralkyloxycarbonyl group, or a bi- or mono-heterocyclic group optionally substituted by a C1 - C4 alkyl or with oxo groups; the above cited alkyl, alkoxy and alkanoyl groups may be linear or branched, and contain from 1 to 5 carbon atoms; R1 represents H or lower alkyl, preferably methyl; hydrates and addition salts thereof with pharmaceutically accepable inorganic or organic acids and possible enantiomers and/or diastereoisomers.
In the formula (I), R represents preferably 1-methyl-2-methoxyethyl, 2-isopropoxyethyl, 2-butoxyethyl, 2-methoxyethyl, acetoxymethyl, 1- and 2-acetoxyethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, 1-pivaloyloxyethyl, 1-ethoxyvarbonyloxyethyl, t.butoxycarbonyl, 2- benzoyloxyethyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, phthalidyl, or (N-succinimido)ethyl.
We have found that the new quinolone antobacterials of formula (I) exhibit improved pharmacokinetics characteristics which allow one to obtain, by oral administation, higher and longer lasting blood concentrations.
According to the present invention, the compounds of formula I may be synthesized by the process shown in the following reaction scheme:
wherein R has the previously defined meanings and R'1 represents CH3 or benzyloxycarbonyl. The diesters II are easily available by condensing the corresponding nitro-fluoro-anilines (or nitro-fluoroaminopyridines) with ethoxymethylenmalonates C2H5O-CH=C(COOR)2, wherein R has the meanings already given, optionally in the presence of catalysts such as Triton B; the subsequent cyclization to give (Ill) is preferably carried out by direct heating or in high-boiling solvents (e.g.Dowtherm A(R), dichlorobenzene, dibutylphthalate etc.) optionally in the presence of zinc acetate or chloride, nickel sulphate or cobalt chloride; or with known cyclizing agents (e.g. polyphisphoric acid, polyphosphates alkyl esters or phosohorous pentoxide), optionally using solvents such as benzene, dioxane or dimethylformamide: or, again, in the presence of conc. H2SO4 or ZnCI2 in solvents such as acetic anhydride or acetic acid.
After reduction of the nitro group to an amino group, the intermediates (IV) are reacted with N-substituted diethanolamine salts, of formula R'-N(CH2CH2OH)2 wherein R'1 has the above cited meanings, in the presence of tertiary bases as acidity acceptors, which can also serve as solvent.
The ethyl group is then introduced on the nitrogen of the quinolone derivative (V) by means of alkylation with alkyl halides, sulphates ortosylates in the presence of bases such as alkali metal carbonates, in solvents such as ethanol, dioxan, dimethylformamide and the like.
If, in the so obtained compound (la), the residue R'1 represents benzyloxycarbonyl, it can be eliminated from the piperazine by hydrogenolysis and optionally substituted by alkyl groups.
Alternatively, the 3-chloro-4-fluoro-aniline can be used, as the starting compound, according to the following steps: a) preparation of the diesters by condensation of 3-chloro-4-fluoro aniline with ethoxymethylenmalonates ofthe previously defined kind; b) cyclization of the so obtained esters.
c) introduction of the substituted piperazine
(R'1 =CH3 or benzyloxycarbonyl) on the 7-halo quinolene derivative of formula (VI) so obtained, in place of the chlorine atom in position 7.
The substitution reaction is selective and occurs only at the chlorine atom in position 7.
The reaction is preferably carried out under heating, in the presence of an inert solvent such as water, ethanol, propanol, piperidine, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, ethers, acetonitrile, halogenoalkans and the like, at temerpatures ranging from the room temperature to the solvent's boiling temperature.
The starting products for the above products are commercially available or they can be prepared according to per sue known methods.
The process according to the invention is illustrated in more detail in the following non-limitative examples.
EXAMPLE 1 a) N-[2,2-di(2-acetoxyefh oxyl-carbon yll vin yl]-3-nitro-4-fluoro anilin e (II, with R = 2-acetoxyethyl) A mixture of 15.6 g of 3-nitro-4-fluoro-aniline, 46.0 g of bis-2-acetoxyethyl-methylenmalonate and a few ml of a methanolic solution of triton B in 200 ml of benzene were refluxed for 30 minutes.

The compounds of the present invention have been characterized from the toxico-pharmacological point of view, particularly concerning their pharmacokinetics profile.
Acute toxicity The toxicity after single adminstration was determined by the oral route in Crl-CD-1 (ICR)BR mice and in Crl:CD(SD)BR rats of both sexes (10 animals per each dose and sex), previously kept fasted, with free access to water, 18 hours before the experiment. The results of the DL50 of some of the tested quinolonic esters are reported in Table I, in comparison with those obtained with the corresponding parent compounds, norfloxacine and pefloixacine, the latter in the form of the methansulphonate: as can be seen from the experimental results, the acute toxicity of the latter compounds is practically negligible.

Blood samples were collected, at various times from the administration, which were then subjected to microbiological assay.
A culture medium (Antibiotic Medium 11) was inoculated with a suspension of Escherichia coliATCC 10536, so as to give a final concentration of 1%.
Metal cylinders, which were then filled with the different serum samples of the tested and reference compounds, were placed on the surface of said medium, distributed in a Petri dish and allowed to solidify.
After incubation of the Petri dish at 37 C for 18 hours, the evaluation of the diameters of the inhibition zone and the determination of the concentration of the sample under exam by means of the least square methods, were carried out.
The results are represented in Table 2.

While only compounds XVIII (CHF 1174) and compound XVI (CHF 1181), among the pefloxacine esters, proved to be well absorbed and able to liberate in the circulation an amount of active principle equivalent or slightly lower that that corresponding to the administration of the starting compound (in form of methanesulpohate), the norfloxacine esters compound Vil (CHF 1198) and compound iX (CHF 1200), on the contrary, showed a remarkable increase of the bioavailability, detectable both from the hematic concentrations and from that of urinary concentrations, in comparison with the starting compound (in form of hydrate).
These results, moreover, provide evidence, even if indirectly, that the new derivatives of formula I, object of the present invention, substantially maintain the antibacterial activity of the starting compounds.
The present invention refers moreover to pharmaceutical compositions having antibacterial activity containing as the active principle a compound of formula (I), as above defined, as such in form of hydrate or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, in combination with at least a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
The compositions, for oral administration, may be in form of capsules, tablets, sachets, oral suspensions or the like.
The unit dose can range from 200 to 1200 mg active fraction.
Examples of formulations for the oral administration are given hereafter.
Capsules Composition for an unit dose of active principle of 200 mg: Compound XVII (CHF 1174) mg 251.7 (corresponding to 200 mg of pefloxacine base: conversion factor of 1.2583) Sodium laurylsulphate mg 0.7 Starch mg 16.6 Magnesium stearate mg 3.
Similar formulation can be prepared with other compounds of formula (I) using the corresponding conversion factors (c.f.) for the determination of the amount of active fraction and suitably changing the amount of starch so as to obtain the same value of the total weight of the formulation: namely, for compound XVI, c.f. = 1.2162; for compound VII, c.fi = 1.3137; for compound IX, c.f. = 1.2698.
Of course, other excipients may be used for the production of capsules such as precipitated silica, lactose etc.
