SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the optically active L-isomer form of the cephalosporins of the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 is phenyl, thienyl, or furyl; R.sub.4 represents certain heterocyclic group; and R.sub.3 represents hydrogen, lower alkyl, phenyl-lower alkyl, diphenyl-lower alkyl, substituted phenyl-lower alkyl, tri(lower alkyl) stannyl, tri(lower alkyl) silyl, a salt forming ion, or the group ##STR5## wherein R is lower alkyl, phenyl, phenyl-lower alkyl, or substituted phenyl and phenyl-lower alkyl.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The various groups represented by the symbols have the meaning defined below and these definitions are retained throughout this specification.
The lower alkyl groups referred to throughout this specification include straight or branched chain hydrocarbon groups containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 4 carbons. Examples of the type of groups contemplated are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, t-butyl, etc. The lower alkoxy groups include such lower alkyl groups attached to an oxygen, e.g., methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, etc. The phenyl-lower alkyl and diphenyl-lower alkyl groups include such lower alkyl groups attached to a phenyl, e.g., benzyl, phenethyl, diphenylmethyl, etc.
The substituted phenyl and substituted phenyl-lower alkyl groups include one or two (preferably only one) simple substituents selected from halogan (preferably chlorine or bromine), lower alkyl and lower alkoxy, e.g. 2-, 3- or 4-chlorophenyl, 2-, 3-. pr 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 heterocyclic groups represented by R.sub.4 are ##STR6## wherein R.sub.5 is hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons.
The preferred embodiments of this invention are the compounds of formula I wherein:
R.sub.3 is hydrogen, sodium or potassium.
R.sub.4 is ##STR7## especially 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl and 1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl.
The L-isomer compounds of formula I are preferably prepared by reacting an .alpha.-amino compound of the formula ##STR8## preferably in the form of its trifluoroacetic acid salt with an alkali or alkaline earth cyanate such as potassium cyanate in solution at a pH of from about 7 to about 8.
The compounds of formula II can be prepared by acylating a 3-heterothiomethyl-7-aminocephalosporin of the formula ##STR9## wherein R.sub.3 is preferably diphenylmethyl or t-butyl or other ester protecting groups with an acid chloride of the formula ##STR10## or an .alpha.-(substituted)amino acid of the formula ##STR11## wherein Y is a protecting group such as ##STR12## The protecting group is removed, for example, by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid and anisole to yield the trifluoroacetate salt of the compound of formula II.
The L-isomer compounds of formula I can also be prepared by reacting an .alpha.-ureido compound of the formula ##STR13## with the 3-heterothiomethyl-7-aminocephalosporin of formula III.
This reaction is carried out by converting the .alpha.-ureido compound of formula VI 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 temperature of from about 0.degree. C to about -20.degree. C.
Alternatively, the .alpha.-ureido compound of formula VI can be converted to an activated ester by reacting with a carboxyl group activating agent such a 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 L-isomers of formula I can also be prepared by reacting the compound of formula VI with 7-ACA preferably in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to yield the compound of formula VII (as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,833,568) ##STR14## 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 L-isomers 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 acid (HX), preferably trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisole, to yield the salt of formula ##STR15## The salt of formula IX is then treated with an alkali or alkaline earth cyanate followed by treatment with the compound of formula VIII to yield the desired compounds.
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 ##STR16## may be obtained by reacting the 3-heterothiomethyl-7-amino-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 or below ambient temperature.
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-heterothiomethyl cephalosporanic acid moiety either before or after the acylation reaction.
The carboxylate salts of the compounds 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.
The L-isomer 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, etc. In particular, it has been found that these L-isomers are considerably more active than the corresponding D-isomer or D,L-isomeric mixture against beta-lactamase producing organisms such as Enterobacter, indole-positive Proteus, resistant Escherichia coli, and Serratia.
The compounds of formula I can be used as antibacterial agents 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 physiologicaly 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.
Illustrative process details are provided in the examples for the various reactions. All temperatures are on the centigrade scale.

28.2 g. of the trifluoroacetic acid salt product from part (c) are suspended in 290 ml. of water at room temperature. 8.15 g. of potassium cyanate are added and the mixture is stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. The almost clear solution is cooled to 0.degree.-5.degree. and acidified to pH 3.5. A flocculent precipitate is filtered off. The clear filtrate is acidified to pH 1.5 and allowed to stand in the refrigerator at about 0.degree.-5.degree. to yield 19.8 g of 7.beta.-[[[(aminocarbonyl)amino](L-2-furyl)-acetyl]amino]-3-[[(1-methyl-1H -tetrazol-5-yl)thio]methyl]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-car boxylic acid; m.p. 142.degree.-145.degree. (dec.).
An aqueous equimolar solution of this acid and sodium bicarbonate is lyophilized to yield 7.beta.-[[[(aminocarbonyl)amino]-(L-2-furyl)acetyl]amino]-3-[[(1-methyl-1H -tetrazol-5-yl)thio]-methyl]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-ca rboxylic acid, sodium salt; m.p. 170.degree.-174.degree. (dec.). In a similar manner by employing potassium bicarbonate one obtains the potassium salt.
