Description
This invention relates to chemical compounds known as cephalosporins, which compounds possess antibacterial activity.
The compounds of this invention are represented by the following structural formula: ##SPC1##
In which:
X and X' are each hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms, lower alkoxy of 1-4 carbon atoms, hydroxy, hydroxmethyl, halo, nitro, amino, mercapto, lower alkylthio of 1-4 carbon atoms, aminomethyl or trifluoromethyl;
Y is NH.sub.2 or OH;
R.sup.1 is triazolyl, or imidazolyl, each of which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1 or 2 R.sup.2 ring substitutes such as lower alkyl of up to 4 carbons, cycloalkyl of up to 6 carbons, alkenyl of up to 6 carbons, lower alkoxy of up to 4 carbons, lower alkoxyalkyl of 2 to 8 carbons, CF.sub.3, NH.sub.2, alkylamino, dialkylamino, phenyl, methylthio, or halogen, and
M is hydrogen or an alkali metal.
Examples of R.sup.1 groups are: ##SPC2##
A preferred group of compounds within the scope of Formula I in that in which X is p-HO, X' is H, R.sup.1 is triazolyl, and Y is NH.sub.2. These compounds have highly advantageous properties as antibacterial agents.
The compounds of the present invention are prepared by reaction of a compound differing from one of Formula I in that the 3substituent is acetoxymethyl rather than R.sup.1 -thiomethyl with a mercaptoheterocycle. The reaction is preferably conducted at a pH near neutrality. The solvent is preferably water. The reaction may be carried out at temperatures from about room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent, the time of reaction varying with the particular temperature, solvent and reactants. The reaction product is isolated by careful acidification of the reaction mixture and extraction with an appropriate organic solvent. The .alpha.-amino group on the phenylglycine starting material should be protected with a readily removable group such as t-butoxycarbonyl, carbobenzyloxy or trichloroethoxycarbonyl. The displacement of the 3-position is then conducted, followed by removal of the protective group in the conventional manner.
The compounds of the invention may also be prepared by acylating the 7-position of the appropriate 7-amino-3-heterocyclic thiomethyl cephalosporin nucleus with a phenylglycine or mandelic acid. Prior to acylation, it is desirable to protect the amino group on the glycine moiety with an easily removable protective group such as t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, trichloroethoxycarbonyl, or similar protective group commonly used in the synthesis of peptides. Similarly, the hydroxy group of the mandelic acid moiety can be protected by conversion to the dichloroacetoxy, tetrahydropyranyloxy, trimethylsilyloxy, formyloxy, or similar known protected derivative. For acylation, the carboxyl group of the acylating agent can be activated by conversion to the acid chloride or to a mixed anhydride with, for example, a lower alkyl chloroformate. The carboxyl group can also be activated by conversion to the 2,4-dinitrophenyl ester. If an ester of the cephalosporin nucleus, for example, the benzhydryl, t-butyl, trichloroethyl, or a benzyl ester, is used, the protected phenylglycine or mandelic acid can be coupled directly to the 7-amino group by using a carbodiimide such dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Alternatively, the protected phenylglycine or mandelic acid can be activated for condensation with the appropriate cephalosporin nucleus by reacting it first with carbonyldiimidazole or its equivalent.
The starting materials for use in the first process, i.e. 3-displacement of a 7-acylated cephalosporanic acid, are described in the literature of obtainable by known methods. The starting materials for use in the second process, i.e. 7-acylation of a 3-heterocyclic thiomethyl nucleus, are prepared by displacing the 3-acetoxy group of an alkali metal salt of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) with an alkali metal salt of the heterocyclic thiol in, for example, hot aqueous acetone.
It is recognized that due to the asymetric .alpha.-carbon in the 7-acetamido group optical isomers will exist. The D isomer is the preferred isomer; however, the L isomer and the racemic mixture are also within the scope of this invention.
The starting materials for preparing the products of this invention are known, readily preparable by known methods, or described herein.
The products of this invention are antibacterial agents active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms such as Staph, aureus, Strep. pyogenes, Strep. faecalis, Diplococcus pneumoniae, E. coli., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella, Serratia sp., Shigella and Enterobacter aerogenes. A large number of compounds within the scope of Formula I have been prepared and all have had antibacterial activity in an in vitro testing program. Compounds where X is p-OH, X' is H, R.sup.1 is triazolyl, and Y is NH.sub.2 are especially advantageous in that they exhibit higher blood levels and lower PD.sub.50 's than related compounds.
The compounds are formulated into injectable formulations in the same manner as other cephalosporin antibiotics. They are administered by injection to prevent and treat bacterial infections in doses which will vary with the nature and severity of the infection and the age, weight, and condition of the subject.
Due to the presence of both an amine group and a carboxylic acid group in certain of the cephalosporin compounds of this invention, it is possible, by standard methods, to prepare both acid and base salts of pharmaceutically acceptable nontoxic acids and bases as well as the zwitterionic forms of the compounds. Salts, when obtained, are readily converted to the zwitterions by known methods. It is to be understood that these salts are included within the scope of this invention.
The following examples are intended to illustrate the preparation of the products of the invention, but are not to be construed as limiting the scope thereof. Temperatures are in degrees Centigrade.
EXAMPLE 1
3-(3,4-Dimethyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylthiomethyl)-7-(.alpha.-aminophenylacetami do)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid
To a solution of NaHCO.sub.3 (4.2 g., 0.05 mol.) in water (50 ml.) was added 7-ACA (6.8 g., 0.025 mol.), water (50 ml.) and acetone (25 ml.). The resulting solution was warmed to 45.degree. and then a solution of 3,4-dimethyl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (5.0 g., 0.038 mol.) in acetone (50 ml.) and 5% NaHCO.sub.3 (10 ml.) was added. The reaction was refluxed until the reaction was completed as determined by the disappearance of the acetoxy carbonyl band in the infrared absorption spectrum. During this time the pH was maintained at ca. 7.6. The solution was cooled to 10.degree. and adjusted to pH 3.5 with 3N HCl. The precipitated product was collected, washed with acetone, and dried to give a 60% yield of 3-(3,4-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-ylthiomethyl)-7-amino-3-cephem-4-carboxyli c acid.
To a cold solution (-10.degree.) of .alpha.-t-butoxycarboxamidophenylacetic acid (2.26 g., 0.013 mol.) and triethylamine (1.4 ml., 0.013 mol.) in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 ml.) was added with stirring isobutyl chloroformate (1.5 ml., 0.013 mol.) over a 10 minute period. To this was added dropwise at -10.degree. a cold solution of the above 7-ACA derivative triethylamine salt [prepared by adding triethylamine (1.5 ml., 0.013 mole) to a suspension of 7-ACA compound (5.0 g., 0.013 mol.) in 40 ml. 50% aq. tetrahydrofuran]. The reaction solution was stirred 1 hour at 0.degree. and 1.5 hours at room temperature. The tetrahydrofuran was evaporated, water added to the mixture, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was discarded. The aqueous phase was cooled, layered with ethyl acetate, and acidified to pH 3 using 3N HC1. The phases was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. Evaporation of the combined and dried organic layers gave a solid. Trituration with ether-petroleum ether followed by recrystallization from methylene chloride-ether gave the pure t-butoxycarbonyl derivative.
The above product (6.5 g.) was added to cold trifluoroacetic acid (65 ml.) and stirred at 0.degree.. The solution was poured slowly into a large volume of ether and the precipitated trifluoroacetate salt was collected. Alternatively, the trifluoroacetate salt may be isolated by evaporating the excess trifluoroacetic acid and triturating the residue with ether.
The trifluoroacetate salt (5.3 g.) was dissolved in water (25 ml.) and 15 g. of a polystyrene-amine ion-exchange resin, Amberlite IR-45, was added. After stirring 1 hour at room temperature the resin was filtered off and the aqueous solution was lyophilized to yield the title compound.
An alternative procedure to obtain the zwitterion involved dissolution of the tirfluoroacetate salt in water, addition of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and, while stirring, adjustment of the solution to pH 4 using tri-n-butylamine. The solid product was collected, washed with MIBK and ethyl acetate, and dried.

EXAMPLE 40
7-(p-hydroxymandelamido)cephalosporanic acid
To a solution of p-hydroxymandelic acid (3.0 g, 0.018 mol) in a mixture of dry THF (60 ml) and dry triethylamine (3 ml, 0.021 mol) was added N-trimethylsilylacetamide. The reaction was refluxed for 2 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was then cooled to -20.degree. and isobutyl chloroformate (2.7 ml, 0.018 mol) was added over a 20 minute period. After stirring for 20 minutes a solution of 7-ACA (4.89 g, 0.018 mol) in 50% aqueous THF (60 ml) containing triethylamine (3 ml) was added over a 30 minute period at -5.degree. to -10.degree.. The solution was stirred at 0.degree. for 1 hour and at room temperature for 1 hour. The THF was evaporated in vacuo and 3% NaHCO.sub.3 was added to the turbid aqueous layer until it became clear. After the addition of water (50 ml) the solution is extracted with three portions of ether which was discarded. The aqueous phase is cooled, layered with ethyl acetate, and acidified to pH 1.5 with 6N HCl. Phases were separated and the aqueous layer reextracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried, and evaporated to the title product which was purified as its triethylamine salt.
EXAMPLE 41
When 7-(p-hydroxymandelamido)cephalosporanic acid and any mercaptotriazole or mercaptoimidazole enumerated in Examples 24-35, 37, and 39 are reacted according to the procedure of Example 24 the appropriate 7-(p-hydroxymandelamido)-3-heterocyclicthiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid is obtained. The preferred mercaptoheterocycles are 4-mercapto-1,2,3-triazole and 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole. Other preferred heterocycles are 4-methyl-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole, 5-methyl-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole, 3,4-dimethyl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole, and 4-methyl-5-mercapto-1,2,3-triazole. These products constitute a group of compounds which are 7-(p-hydroxymandelamido)-3-unsubstituted or mono or dialkylsubstituted triazolylthiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids.
