DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides cefixime proxetil (cefixime 1-methyl ethoxycarbonyloxy ethyl ester), cefixime axetil (cefixime acetoxy ethyl ester) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as a valuable prodrug ester of cefixime, particularly suitable for oral and parenteral administration in various animal species and in man for treatment of infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
The term "salt(s)", as employed herein, denotes acidic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids, as well as basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic bases. Pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful. Salts of the compound of the Formula II may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound of Formula II with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.
Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates, ascorbates, benzoates, benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates, camphorates,
camphorsulfonates, fumarates, hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, lactates, maleates, methanesulfonates, naphthalenesulfonates, nitrates, oxalates, phosphates,
propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates, tartarates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates (also known as tosylates,) and the like. Additionally, acids which are generally considered suitable for the formation of pharmaceutically useful salts from basic pharmaceutical compounds are discussed, for example, by P.

Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a
diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound, separating the diastereomers and converting the individual diastereomers to the
corresponding pure enantiomers. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of chiral HPLC column.

A solution of racemic 1- acetoxyethyl bromide (9.2 g) in N, N- dimethylacetamide (25 ml) was added at -5 to 0 °C in 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred for about 4 hours at the same temperature. Water (500 ml) was added and stirred for 60 minutes. The solid was filtered, washed with water (250 ml) and dried in a vacuum oven. Dry weight = 13.3 g.

Example 6
Purification of cefixime axetil
Cefixime axetil (31 g) obtained in example 1 and 2 was stirred in acetonitrile (465 ml) for one hour. The undissolved solid was filtered off and washed with acetonitrile (62 ml). The filtrate was treated with activated carbon (1.5 g) and stirred for 30 min at room temperature. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated on rotary evaporator to obtain a solid.
Weight = 24.6 g.
HPLC purity: 42.65 %
Example 7
Purification of cefixime axetil by preparative HPLC:
Cefixime proxetil obtained in example 6 was purified by preparative HPLC.
Mobile phase preparation:
Mobile phase A - 0.05 M ammonium acetate in water.
Mobile phase B - Acetonitrile
Conditions: Column - YMC Pack ODS-A HG (20X 250 mm) 10 μ.
Flow rate: 25 ml/minute
Wavelength- 254 nm
Sample preparation: 4 g + 40 ml methanol + 20 ml mobile phase A. 1.5 ml injected.
Fractions containing cefixime axetil were collected using 40 % Mobile phase B in Mobile phase A as eluent. Collected fractions were concentrated on rotary evaporator and concentrated solution was passed through gradient column using 70% - 95 % acetonitrile in water as eluent. Fractions containing cefixime proxetil were collected, concentrated and lyophilized. Cefixime axetil (2g) having HPLC purity of 96.95 % was isolated.
