The substituted phenyl and substituted phenyl-lower alkyl groups include one or two (preferably only one) simple substituents selected from halogen (preferably chlorine or bromine), lower alkyl and lower alkoxy, e.g. 2-, 3- or 4-chlorophenyl, 2-, 3- or 4-bromophenyl, 3,4-dichlorophenyl, 2-methylphenyl, 4-ethoxyphenyl, 2-, 3-, or 4-chlorobenzyl, 2-, 3- or 4-ethylphenethyl, etc.
The salt forming ions represented by R.sub.3 may be metal ions, e.g., aluminum, alkali metal ions such as sodium or potassium, alkaline earth metal ions such as calcium or magnesium, or an amine salt ion, of which a number are known for this purpose, for example, phenyl-lower alkylamines such as dibenzylamine, N,N-dibenzylethylenediamine, lower alkylamines such as methylamine, triethylamine, and N-lower alkylpiperidines such as N-ethylpiperidine.
The heterocyclics represented by R.sub.1 are thienyl, furyl, pyrryl, pyridyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiadiazolyl, and tetrazolyl. They are attached at any available carbon atom as for example 2- or 3-thienyl, 2- or 3-furyl, 2- or 3-pyrryl, 2-, 3- or 4-pyridyl, 2- or 5-thiazolyl, 3- or 5-isothiazolyl, 2- or 5-oxazolyl, 3- or 5-isoxazolyl, 3- or 5-(1,2,4-thiadiazolyl), etc. Also included within the meaning of R.sub.1 are such heterocyclics having a halogen (preferably Cl or Br) or a lower alkyl (preferably methyl or ethyl) substituent, i.e. 5-(1-methyltetrazolyl), 2-(5-chlorothienyl), 2-(4-chloropyrryl), etc.
The heterocyclic groups represented by R.sub.4 are ##STR7## wherein R.sub.5 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons.
Preferred embodiments of this invention are as follows:
R.sub.1 is thienyl, furyl, pyrryl, or pyridyl.
R.sub.2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons.
R.sub.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons, benzyl, phenethyl, diphenylmethyl, trimethylsilyl, trimethylstannyl, aluminum, alkaline earth metal, alkali metal, or ##STR8## R is lower alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons, phenyl, benzyl, or phenethyl.
The most preferred embodiments are:
R.sub.1 is thienyl or pyridyl, especially 2-thienyl, or 3-thienyl.
R.sub.2 is hydrogen or methyl, especially hydrogen.
R.sub.3 is hydrogen, sodium or potassium, especially hydrogen.
R.sub.4 is ##STR9## especially 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl and 1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl.
Compounds of formula I are obtained by reacting an .alpha.-ureido compound of the formula ##STR10## with a 3-heterothio-7-amino substituted cephalosporin of the formula ##STR11## wherein R.sub.3 is preferably diphenylmethyl or t-butyl or other ester protecting groups.
This reaction is carried out by converting the .alpha.-ureido compound of formula II to a mixed carbonic or other anhydride by treating a solution of the .alpha.-ureido compound in an organic solvent containing a tri(lower alkyl)amine with an anhydride forming agent, i.e. a lower alkyl chloroformate, an aryl chloroformate, or an acyl halide, at reduced temperatures of from about 0.degree. C to about -20.degree. C.
Alternatively, the .alpha.-ureido compound of formula II can be converted to an activated ester by reacting with a carboxyl group activating agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or bisimidazole carbonyl. In some cases the carboxyl group may be activated by conversion to an acid halide, e.g. the chloride, or to an azide.
The methods of preparing the 60-ureido compounds of formula II are known to those skilled in the art and a number of such methods are discussed in Ser. No. 93,490 referred to above.
The compounds of formula I can also be prepared by acylating the compound of formula III with an acid chloride of formula ##STR12## or an .alpha.-(substituted)amino acid of the formula ##STR13## wherein Y is a protecting group such as ##STR14## to yield after removal of the protecting group the intermediate of formula ##STR15## Various intermdiates of formula VI are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,821,207; 3,813,388; 3,641,021; 3,759,904; and 3,796,801.
The intermediates of formula VI is converted to the final products of formula I by treatment with an isocyanate of the formula
or when R.sub.2 is hydrogen an alkali or alkaline earth cyanate such as potassium cyanate in solution at a pH of from about 7 to about 8.
The final products of formula I can also be prepared by reacting the compound of formula II with 7-ACA preferably in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to yield the compound of formula VIII (as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,833,568) ##STR16## followed by treatment with the compound of the formula
in solution at a pH of from about 7.8 to about 8.0.
Similarly, the final products of formula I can be prepared by reacting the compounds of formula IV or V with an ester of 7-ACA preferably in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide followed by treatment with an cid (HX), preferably trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisole, to yield the salt of formula ##STR17##
The salt of formula X is treated with the isocyanate of formula VII (or the alkali or alkaline earth cyanate where R.sub.2 is hydrogen) followed by treatment with the compound of formula IX to yield the final product of formula I.
The compounds of formula I wherein R.sub.3 is lower alkyl, phenyl-lower alkyl, substituted phenyl-lower alkyl, diphenyl-lower alkyl, or the acyloxymethyl group ##STR18## may be obtained by reacting the 3-heterothio-7-amino substituted cephalosporin of formula III or the 7-ACA either before or after the acylation of the 7-amino substituent with one or two moles of a compound of the formula
or
wherein halo is preferably chlorine or bromine in an inert solvent such as dimethylformamide, acetone, dioxane, benzene, or the like at about ambient temperature or below.
Similarly, the compounds of formula I wherein R.sub.3 is tri(lower alkyl)stannyl or tri(lower alkyl)silyl are obtained by introducing such groups onto the 3-heterothio cephalosporanic acid moiety either before or after the acylation reaction.
The carboxylate salts of the compound of formula I are formed by reacting the carboxyl group of the cephalosporanic acid moiety, i.e. R.sub.3 is hydrogen, with any of the salt forming ions described above.
It will be appreciated that the compounds of formula I are optically active due to the presence of an asymmetric carbon atom in the 7-position side chain. By selection of the appropriate starting material it is possible to obtain the compounds of formula I as a mixture of optically active isomers or isolated as a single isomer. The various isomers as well as their mixtures are within the scope of this invention.
The compounds of formula I have a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against both gram positive and gram negative organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella schottmuelleri, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus rettgeri, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, etc. In particular, it has been found that the L-isomer of the compounds of formula I wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen are surprisingly active againt betalactamase producing organisms such as Enterobacter, indole-positive Proteus, resistant Escherichia coli, and Serratia.
The compounds of formula I can be used as antibacterial agents in a prophylactic manner, e.g., in cleaning or as surface disinfecting compositions, or otherwise to combat infections due to organisms such as those named above, and in general may be utilized in a manner similar to cephalothin and other cephalosporins. For example, a compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof may be used in various animal species in an amount of about 1 to 100 mg./kg., daily, orally or parenterally, in single or two to four divided doses to treat infections of bacterial origin, e.g., 5.0 mg./kg. in mice.
Up to about 600 mg. of a compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof may be incorporated in an oral dosage form such as tablets, capsules or elixirs or in an injectable form in a sterile aqueous vehicle prepared according to conventional pharmaceutical practice.
They may also be used in cleaning or disinfecting compositions, e.g., for cleaning barns or dairy equipment, at a concentration of about 0.2 to 1% by weight of such compounds admixed with, suspended or dissolved in conventional inert dry or aqueous carriers for application by washing or spraying.
They are also useful as nutritional supplements in animal feeds.
Illustrative process details are provided in the examples for the various reactions. All temperatures are on the centrigrade scale.
