Description
SPECIFICATION Carbamoyloxymethyialkylcarbapenum compounds
The present invention relates to carbamoyloxymethylalkylcarbapenem compounds. More particularly, it relates to (1S,5R,6S)-6-[(1R)- 1 -hydroxyethyl]-2-optionally alkylated carbamoyloxymethyl- 1- alkyl- 1 -carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid and to derivatives thereof, to formulations containing them, to methods of preparing such compounds, and to uses thereof.
Following the discovery of thienamycin by Merck group, powerful antibacterial carbapenem compounds have been extensively researched and developed. A recent trend is to intoduce alkyl at position 1 (e.g., European Patents Nos. 5889, 10316, 30032, 54917, and 60077, U.S.
Patent Nos. 4262010 and 4262009). The compounds of the present invention have not been previously described.
The present applicants introduced a carbamoyloxymethyl group in place of a hetero atom group at position 2 of 1-alkylcarbapenem compounds to find products which are more strongly antibacterial against resistant staphylococci and Escherichia coli than imipenem. Further, the urinary recovery from intravenous administration is almost doubled as compared to representative penem or carbapenem compounds (e.g. impinema, 6-(1-hydroxyethyl)-2-carbamoyloxy-me- thylpen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid) and 6-( 1 -hydroxyethyl)- 1 -methyl-2-thiadiazolythiomethyl- 1 -carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid.
Thus, according to the invention there is provided a compound of formula (I)
wherein
R1 is hydrogen or a hydroxy-protecting group;
R2 is lower alkyl;
R3 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; and
R4 is hydrogen or a salt- or ester-forming group.
The compounds of the invention are active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
The hydroxy-protecting group R1 is preferably tri(1C to 5C)-alkylsilyl (e.g. trimethylsilyl, tbutyldimethylsilyl).
The lower alkyl R2 contains preferably 1 to 5, especially 1 to 3 carbon atoms (e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl).
The lower alkyl R3 contains preferably 1 to 5, especially 1 to 3 carbon atoms (e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl).
The salt forming group R4 can preferably be one conventional in penicillin and cephalosporin chemistry e.g. a pharmaceutically acceptable ion which may belong to group I to Ill and period 2 to 4 in the Periodic Table. This can preferably be a light metal [e.g. alkali metal (e.g. sodium, potassium, lithium), alkaline earth metal (e.g. magnesium, calcium), or aluminium]. A salt with 1C to 12C alkylamine (e.g. trimethylamine, triethylamine, methylmorpholine) or 4C to 9C aromatic base (e.g. pyridine, collidine, picoline, quinoline, dimethylaniline) is available for synthetic purposes.
The ester forming group R4 may be a protecting ester forming group or a pharmaceutical ester forming group and may be one conventional for carboxy protection in penicillin and cephalosporin chemistry and can be introduced and removed without adverse effect on other part of the molecule.The group is preferably 2C to 19C and includes, for example, an optionally substituted 1C to 8C alkyl ester (e.g., methyl, methoxymethyl, ethyl, ethoxymethyl, iodoethyl, propyl, isopropyl, ethoxyethyl, methylthioethyl, methanesulfonylethyl, butyl, isobutyl, trichloroethyl, t-butyl, hexyl ester), 2C to 8C alkenyl ester (e.g., vinyl, propenyl, allyl, prenyl ester), 7C to 19C aralkyl ester (e.g., benzyl, methylbenzyl, dimethylbenzyl, methoxybenzyl, ethoxybenzyl, nitrobenzyl, aminobenzyl, diphenylmethyl, phenethyl, trityl, di-t-butylhydroxybenzyl, phthalidyl, phenacyl ester), 6C to 12C aryl ester (e.g., phenyl, tolyl, diisopropylphenyl, xylyl, trichlorophenyl, pentachlorophenyl, indanyl ester), an ester with a 1C to 12C N-hydroxyamino compound (ester with e.g., acetone oxime, acetophenone oxime, acetaldoxime, N-hydroxysuccinimide, N-hydroxyphthalimide), 3C to 12C silyl ester (e.g., trimethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, or dimethylmethoxysilyl ester) or 3C to 12C stannyl ester (e.g., trimethylstannyl ester). The group R4 may be further substituted. The protecting ester forming group R4 may be absent in certain group objective compounds. So its structure has not in itself any specific meaning as far as it protects the carboxy during the synthesis. Thus, it can be replaced by a wide variety of equivalent groups (e.g., amide or acid anhydride with carbonic or carboxylic acid) or the like.
The ester forming group R4 can preferably be a so-called pharmaceutical ester group, and may include orally or parenterally available 2C to 15C ester groups, for example, a 1-oxygen substituted-2C to 15C alkyl {e.g., straight, brached, cyclic, or partially cyclic alkanolyoxyalkyl (e.g., acetoxymethyl, acetoxyethyl, propionyloxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, pivaloylxyethyl, cyclohexaneacetoxyethyl, cyclohexanecarbonyloxycyclohexylmethyl), 3C to 15C alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl (e.g., ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl, isopropoxycarbonyloxyethyl, isopropoxycarbonyloxypropyl, t-butoxycarbonyloxyethyl, isopentyloxycarbonyloxypropyl, cyclohexyloxycarbonyloxyethyl, cyclohexylmethoxycarbonyloxyethyl, bornyloxycarbonyloxyisopropyl), 2C to 8C alkoxyalkyl (e.g., methoxymethyl), 4C to 8C 2-oxacylcloalkyl (e.g., tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl)}, 8C to 12C aralkyl (e.g., phenacyl, phthalidyl), 6C to 12C aryl (e.g., phenyl, xylyl, indanyl), 2C to 12C alkenyl (e.g., allyl, 5-methyl-2-oxo-1 ,3-dioxol-4-ylmethyl), or The esters may be optionally further substituted.
In above definition of the symbols, the carbon number referred to includes that for substituent.
Preferable compounds of this invention have R2 as methyl, R1 as hydrogen, R3 as hydrogen or methyl, and R4 as hydrogen sodium, or pivaloyloxymethyl. Such compounds are namely; (1 S,5F,6S)-6-[( R)- 1 -hydroxyethyl]-2-carbamoyloxymethyl- 1 -methyl- 1 -carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid, (1 S,5F,6S)-6-[( 1 -R)-hydroxyethyl]-2-methylcarbamoyloxymethyl- -methyl-l -carbapen-2-em-3carboxylic acid and the sodium salt and pivaloyloxymethyl ester thereof.
The free carboxy-, salt-, or pharmaceutical ester-compound of formula (1) is a potent antibacterial against aerobic or anaerobic bacteria. It may be used as a bacteriocidal, bacteriostatic, disinfecting, or antiperishing agent a bacterial growth inhibitor in human, animal, plant, or perishable subjects, a human or animal growth promoting additive in foodstuff, or an agent for treating or preventing human, veterinary, or poultry infection caused by sensitive bacteria and for testing sensitivity of bacteria to the antibacterial (I).Thus, the said compound (I) is effective against aerobic Gram-positive bacteria, (e.g., Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus viridans, Streptococcus faecalis) and Gram-negative bacteria (e.g.,
Citrobacter diversus, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogens, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenza, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Proteus mirabilis, Morganella morganii, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus rettgeri, Providencia stuartii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella typhi, Serratia marcescens, Shigella sonnei, Yersinia enterocoliticas, and anaerobic bacteria (e.g., Chlostridium difficile, Clostridium no vyi, Eubacterium cylindroides, Ba ctero ides fragilis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Propionibac
terium spp., Veillonella parvula).
The compound (I) in the form of a carboxylic acid or a light metal salt (i.e. having R4 as hydrogen or an alkali metal atom) can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously (as e.g. a solution or suspension), or orally, if required in admixture with an excipient
(e.g. solubilizing agent, stabilizer or emulsifying agent). A pharmaceutical ester of formula (I) can be given intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, orally (as e.g. a capsule, dry syrup, emulsion, powder, solution, suspension, tablet or troche), or topically (as e.g. an ear, nasal, or ocular drug, ointment, injection, pap preparation, spray or suppository).
A protected compound (I) is also useful as a starting material for synthesizing other antibacterials or as an agent for testing the sensitivity of bacteria.
The compounds of the invention may be used in treating or preventing human or veterinary bacterial infection (e.g., abscess, bronchitis, dermatitis, ear infections, empyema, enteritis, gastroenteritis, nasopharyngitis, osteomyelitis, pneumonitis, pneumonia, pustulosis, pyelonephritis, respiratory tract infection, rhinitis, septicemia, tonsillitis, ulceration, urinary tract infection, wound and soft tissue infection) caused by sensitive bacteria by administration of an effective amount of the said compound (I) at a typical human daily dose of 0.1 to 6 gram (injection), 0.4 to 4
gram (orally), or 0.01 to 10 mg (topically), if required in formulation with a conventional additive
or coacting substance (e.g., cilastatin, beta-lactamase inhibitor, other antibacterial).
This invention also provides an antibacterial pharmaceutical composition containing the said
compound (I) in various enteral or parenteral dosage forms, solely or in admixture with a carrier
or coacting substance. The composition may contain 0.01 to 99% of compound (I) dissolved,
dispersed, or suspended in a solid or liquid pharmaceutical carrier.
The composition may be a solid preparation (e.g., capsule, dry syrup, granule, lyophilized
material, pellet, pill, powder, suppository, troche, tablet) or liquid preparation (e.g., dispersion,
elixir, emulsion, inhalent, injection, ointment, suspension, syrup, solution). The capsule, granule
and tablet may be coated. They can be in a unit dosage form.
The carrier should be harmless to both the compound (I) and patients. Representative
examples such a carrier include among others, for a solid preparation, a binder (e.g., acacia,
carboxymethylcellulose, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium alginate, sorbitol, starch, syrup, tra
gacanth), bulking agent (e.g., bentonite, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, glycine, kaolin,
lactose, polycarboxymethylene, salt, sorbitol, starch, sugar, talc), diluent (e.g., calcium carbonate,
kaolin, lactose, starch, sucrose), disintegrator (e.g., agar, carbonate, sodium laurylfulfate, starch),
lubricant (e.g., boric acid, cacao oil, magnesium stearate, paraffin, polyethyleneglycol, silica, sodium benzoate, stearic acid, talc), and wetting agent (e.g., hydroxypropylcellulose); for a solution, a solvent (e.g., alcohol, buffer, methyl oleate, peanut oil, sesame oil, water), emulsifying agent (e.g., acacia, lethicin, sorbitan monooleate), suspending agent (e.g., aluminium stearage gel, carboxymethylcellulose, gelatin, glucose, hydrogenated fats, hydroxyethylcellulose, methyl cellulose, sorbitol, sugar syrup), buffer, dispersing agent, and solubilizing agent: and for both, a perservative (e.g., methyl or ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, sorbic acid), absorption promoter (e.g., glycerin mono- or di-octanoate), antioxidant, aromatic substance, analgesic, edible coloring agent, or stabilizing agent. The pharmaceutical compositions may be produced conventionally.
The compounds according to the present invention may be prepared as follows; 1) Carbamic ester formation
(wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are as defined in Claim 1) (1 S,5R,6S)-6-[( 1 R)- 1 -hydroxyethyl]-2-hydroxymethyl- 1 -alkyl- 1 -carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid or its derivative (II) may be esterified conventionally with a carbamoylating reagent of the formula
R3HNCO-Hal or R3NCO (where Hal is halogen) to give Compound (I).
Here, the carbamoylating reagent can be a conventional one (e.g., N-protected carbamoyl halide, cyanate, isocyanate, alkyl isocyanide, alkylcarbamoyl halide). The reagent can conventionally be used, for example, in the presence of a subreagent [e.g., acid scavenger (e.g., aromatic base, tertiary amine), Lewis acid (e.g., aluminium chloride, bis(trialkylstannyl) oxide), or the like].
This reaction may usually be carried to 50"C for 30 minutes to 10 hours.
2) Salt formation
A compound (i) having hydrogen as R4 can form a salt compound (I) (wherein R4 is a salt forming group) with a base or with a salt of weakly acidic carboxylic acid by an ion exchange reaction. The procedure can be one conventional in the art, e.g., by neutralizing the free acid with a base (e.g., light metal hydroxide, carbonate, or hydrogen carbonate) or by treating with light metal lower carboxylate (e.g., sodium acetate, sodium lactate, sodium 2-ethylhexanoate) in a polar organic solvent (e.g., alcohol, ketone, ester) and then adding a sparingly dissolving solvent to separate the salt. The reaction time may usually be 1 to 10 minutes lower than 50"C, but it may be longer if no appreciable side reaction occurs.
3) Esterification
A compound (I) having hydrogen as R4 or its salt can be esterified conventionally with a halide of the ester group represented by the formula R4-Hal (wherein R4 is the ester group and Hal is halogen) in the presence of an acid scavenger or the corresponding diazo compound in an inert solvent to afford the corresponding ester (I) in a manner, for example as given below:
a) Reacting e.g. a halide or sulfonate of the ester group with an alkali metal salt of the carboxylic acid at -50"C to 50"C; b) Reacting an alcohol of the ester group with the carboxylic acid or its reactive derivative in the presence of a condensing reagent; or
c) Reacting a diazo compound of the ester group with the carboxylic acid at 0 C to 50"C.
An especially important process is esterification to a (1S,5R,6S)-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-2-optionally alkylated carbamoyloxymethyl-1-alkyl-1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid pharmaceutical
(wherein Rt, R2, R3, and R4 are as defined in Claim 1) ester (I) by treating the corresponding (1 S,5R,6S)-6-[( 1 R)- 1 -hydroxyethyl]-2-hydroxymethyl- 1 -alkyl- 1 -carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid (IV) or its salt with an esterifying reagent of the formula R4-Hal (wherein Hal is halogen and R4 is a pharmaceutical ester group).
4) Deprotection of protected carboxy
A compound (I) having protected carboxy as R4 may be deprotected conventionally in an inert solvent to give carboxylic acid (I). This deprotection includes, for example, the following proce dures:
a) A highly reactive ester as a carboxy-protecting group can be deprotected by contacting it with acid, base, buffer solution, ion-exchange resin, or the like in an aqueous solvent.Some insufficiently reactive groups may be activated conventionally to deprotect easily (e.g., trichloroethyl ester with metal and acid; p-nitrobenzyl ester by hydrogenation, dithionate, or metal and acid; and phenacyl ester by irradiation);
b) An aralkyl ester as a carboxy-protecting group can be deprotected by a conventional hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., palladium, platinum, nickel);;
c) A tert-alkyl ester, 2-alkenyl ester, aralkyl ester, sulfonylether, or the like as a carboxyprotecting group may be deprotected by treatment for example, with a mineral acid, Lewis acid (e.g., aluminium chloride, tin tetrachloride, titanium tetrachloride), sulfonic acid (e.g., benzenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid), strong carboxylic acid (e.g., trifluoroacetic acid), or the like, if required in the presence of a cation scavenger (e.g., anisole, benzenethiol);
d) A 2-alkenyl ester as a carboxy-protecting group can be deprotected by the action of triarylphosphine-palladium complex;
e) A phenacyl ester, 2-alkenyl ester, hydroxyaralkyl ester, or the like as a carboxy-protecting group can be deprotected by the action of a base or nucleophilic reagent; or
f) Other equivalent deprotection of a carboxy-protecting group.
5) Hydroxy deprotection
A compound (I) having trialkylsilyl as R' can be deprotected with acid to obtain the corresponding 6-( 1 -hydroxyethyl)-2-carbamoyloxymethyl- 1 -alkyl- 1 -carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid or its derivative (III) as follows (wherein R1 is trialkylsilyl, and R2, R3, and R4 are as defined above):
The acid can be a mineral acid or trifluoroacetic acid or silicic acid.
6) Starting materials
The starting material (1 S,5R,6S)-6-(1 R)- 1 -hydroxyethyl]-2-hydroxymethyl- 1 -alkyl- 1 -carbapen-2em-3-carboxylic acid or its derivative (II), can be prepared, for example, from (3S,4R)-3-[(1 R)-1-t- butyldimethylsilyloxyethyl]-4-acetoxy-2-azetidinone [according to W.
