Abstract
Disclosed is an improved and efficient process for N-desmethylating the 3'-amino nitrogen of erythromycins and for converting the 3'-N-desmethylated erythromycins into 3'-N-substituted derivatives of 8,9-anhydro-erythromycin 6,9-hemiketals.
Description
PROCESS FOR THE N-DEMETILATION OF ERYTHROMYCINES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an improved and efficient process for the N-demethylation of 3'-amino nitrogen of erythromycins and to prepare their gastrointestinal prokinetic erythromycin compounds. More particularly, the invention relates to the N-demethylation of the 3'-amino nitrogen of erythromycin using 1-chloroethyl chloroformate and converting 3'-N-demethylated erythromycins to 3'-N-substituted derivatives of 8,9-anhydro -erythromycin-6,9-hemicetales.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Erythromycins A to D, represented by the formula (E),
(AND)
They are well-known and potent antibacterial agents, widely used to treat and prevent bacterial infection. Some erythromycin derivatives having formula I below possess an expected degree of prokinetic activity and are described in the U.S. patent. 5,578,579.
The preparation of these prokinetic compounds requires the preparation of the intermediate compounds, N-demethyl-4"-deoxy-erythromycin A and N-demethyl-4" -deoxy-erythromycin B. A process for the preparation of N-demethyl derivatives of Various macrolide antibiotics have been described in US Patent 3,725,385, issued April 3, 1993, which teaches that the methyl group can be removed through a one-step treatment with the only addition of iodide in a solution adjusted in its pH from -10 ° C to 50 ° C. The passage of N-demethylation with iodine generally does not come to an end, leaving a substantial amount of the starting material with the final product. Therefore, there is a need to provide a more efficient improved process for the manufacture of the 3'-N-substituted derivatives of 8,9-anhydro-erythromycin-6,9-hemiketals.
COMPENDIUM OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a compound having the formula I:
and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. In formula I, Rp is hydrogen or a hydroxy-protective group, R1 is independently hydrogen or hydroxy in each occurrence, and R2 is a lower alkyl. The method comprises the steps of: (a) treating a compound represented by the formula:
with a hydroxy-protective group and 1-chloroethyl chloroformate to provide the compound of the formula:
(b) heating the compound of step (a) with an alcohol to provide the compound of the formula:
(c) alkylating the 3'-N with an alkylating agent in the presence of a base. The process of the invention is an efficient process as it provides demethylation and enol ether formation in a single step. Therefore, it is more economical and clearer than the processes known in the prior art.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The term "lower alkyl", as used herein, refers to a saturated straight or branched chain hydrocarbon radical of C8 including, but not limited to, methyl, ethyl, N-propyl, isopropyl, N-butyl , sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl and the like. By "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" is meant those acid addition salts of the compounds of the formula I, which are, within the scope of medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like according to a reasonable benefit / risk ratio, and which are effective for their intended use. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art, for example, S.M. Berge, et al. Describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977), 66: 1-19. Examples of non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are the salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid., or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic or malonic acid or using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of nitrate, bisulfate, borate, formate, butyrate, valerate, 3-phenylpropionate, camphorate, adipate, benzoate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, lactate, fumarate, ascorbate, aspartate, nicotinate, p- toluenesulfonate, camphorsulfonate, methanesulfonate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, gluconate, glucoheptonate, lactobionate, glycerophosphate, pectinate, laurylsulfonate, alginate, cyclopentanpropionate, digluconate, dodecyl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, hemisulfate, heptonate, hexanoate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, pamoate, persulfate, pivalate, propionate, undecanoate, and the like, and can be prepared according to conventional methods. Representative alkaline or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium salts, and the like. Scheme 1 illustrates the process of the invention for preparing the compounds of formula I. According to Scheme 1, the 2'-hydroxy of erythromycin 1 is protected with a suitable hydroxy protecting reagent in an aprotic solvent, such as is described by TW Greene and PGM Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Svnthesis. 2. ed., John Wiley &; Son, Inc., 1991. Hydroxy protecting reagents include, for example, acetic anhydride, benzoic anhydride, benzyl chloroformate, 1-chloroethyl chloroformate, hexamethyldisilazane, or a trialkylsilyl chloride in an aprotic solvent. Examples of aprotic solvents are dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, DMF, tetrahydrofuran (THF), N-methyl pyrrolidinone, dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfoxide. diethyl, N, N-dimethylformamide, N, N-dimethylacetamide, hexamethylphosphoric triamide, a mixture thereof or a mixture of one of these solvents with ether, tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, acetone and the like . The aprotic solvents do not adversely affect the reaction, and are preferably dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, DMF, tetrahydrofuran (THF), N-methyl pyrrolidinone or a mixture thereof. Preferably, the 2'-hydroxy group is acetylated using acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride. Without processing the reaction mixture, the reaction mixture is treated with about 9 equivalents of 1-chloroethyl chloroformate. This reagent removes one of the two methyl groups in the 3'-nitrogen to provide compound 2, N-chloroethyl carbamate. The reaction is carried out in a solvent selected from the group consisting of ethyl acetate, acetone, toluene, acetonitrile, methyl t-butyl ether, dimethoxyethane and 1,2-dichloroethane. The most preferred solvent is 1,2-dichloroethane, since the product is more soluble in 1,2-dichloroethane than other solvents. Keeping the product in solution without resorting to large volumes of solvent makes the process much easier. If it is desired to isolate the crystalline intermediate, a solvent other than 1,2-dichloroethane can be used. The reaction is typically carried out at about 50 ° C. Compound 2, chloroethyl carbamate, is then converted to an enol ether compound 3, by heating with an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and the like, at a temperature of about 20 ° C to about 65 ° C, and for about 2 to 12 hours. Preferably, the reaction temperature is from about 20 ° C to about 40 ° C. The enol ether of monomethylamine acetate 3 can be isolated and crystallized from ethyl acetate and any other suitable solvent as a solid. Compound 3 may not be isolated and the reaction mixture is treated with an alkylating agent to effect the alkylation of the 3'-N-demethyl derivative.
Scheme 1
1A
Compound 3 is alkylated using N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP), acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, or tetrahydrofuran as a solvent and an organic base such as a tertiary amine, for example, diisopropylethylamine ((DIEA) or Hunig base)) or a base inorganic such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate to provide a compound of formula I. Alkylating agents include, for example, alkyl halides, alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates and the like. Preferably, the alkylating agent is selected from the group consisting of ethyl halides, ethyl sulfates and ethyl sulfonates. Most preferably, the alkylating agent is ethyl iodide. The protected 2'-hydroxy group in formula I is deprotected through the methods known in the art to obtain a compound of formula IA. It may be desirable to deprotect the 2'-hydroxy group of compound 2 before the alkylation step. "Alternatively, 1-chloroethyl chloroformate can be used to protect the 2'-hydroxy group and to effect 3'-N-carbamoylation in a single step to obtain 2'-chloroethylcarbonate-N-demethyl-N-chloroethyl carbamate, 2A When this compound is heated with an alcohol, both the chloroethyl carbonate and the chloroethyl carbamate groups will be removed to provide the 8,9-anhydro-6,9-hemicetal derivative, 3, where Rp is hydrogen. be more efficient since the deprotection of the 2'-hydroxy and the demethylation of the 3'-hydrogen are obtained in a single step.Alternatively, as illustrated in Scheme IA, the compound 2 can be demethylated using an alcohol such ethanol, methanol , propanol, isopropanol, and the like, and an organic base such as a tertiary amine, for example, as diisopropylethylamine ((DIEA) or Hunig's base)) or an inorganic base such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate to provide a compound of the formula a 4. Compound 4 is alkylated according to the procedure described above for compound 3 to provide compound 5. Compound 5 is heated in an organic solvent in the presence of an acid to provide a compound of formula I. Solvents organic include, for example, dimethylformamide (DMF), alcohols such as ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, and the like, acetonitrile, acetone, dioxane and tetrahydrofuran. Acids used include hydrochloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, sulfuric acid, and the like. Preferably, the reaction is carried out using trifluoroacetic acid in DMF at 60 ° C for about 12 to 24 hours. Scheme 1A
In a preferred embodiment, R1 in formula I is hydrogen, and R is ethyl.
