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. Stahl et al, Camille G. (eds.) Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts. Properties, Selection and Use. (2002) Zurich: Wiley- VCH; S. Berge et al, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66(1) 1-19; P. Gould,
International J. of Pharmaceutics (1986) 33 201-217; Anderson et al, The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry (1996), Academic Press, New York; and in The Orange Book (Food & Drug Administration, Washington, D.C. on their website). These disclosures are incorporated herein by reference thereto.
Exemplary basic salts include alkali metal salts such as sodium or potassium salts; alkaline -earth metal salts such as calcium or magnesium salts; ammonium salts; aliphatic amine salts such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine or procaine salts; aralkyl amine salts such as N,N- dibenzylethylenediamine salts; heterocyclic aromatic amine salts such as pyridine salts, picoline salts, quinoline salts or isoquinoline salts; quaternary ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium salts, tetraethylammonium salts, benzyltrimethylammonium salts, benzyltriethylammonium salts, benzyltributylammonium salts, methyltrioctylammonium salts or tetrabutylammonium salts, and basic amino acid salts such as arginine salts or lysine salts.
The compound of Formula (II) contain asymmetric or chiral center, and, therefore, exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compound of Formula (II) as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization.
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.
Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention may, for example, be substantially free of other isomers, or may be admixed, for example, as racemates. The chiral centers of the present invention can have the S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations.

a) treating cefixime with 1-acetoxyethyl halide;
b) isolating cefixime axetil; and
c) optionally purifying cefixime axetil obtained in (b).
Halo/ halide means halogen such as iodo, chloro or bromo.

dimethylsulphoxide, ethylacetate, acetonitrile, hexamethylphosphorictriamide, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, and mixture thereof.
The reaction can be carried out in the presence of base.

Preparation of cefixime axetil
Cefixime (25 g) was dissolved in N, N- dimethylacetamide (125 ml) and sodium carbonate (3.2 g) was added. The mixture was cooled to -5 °C. 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.
