Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new chemical compounds. More particularly it relates to new chemical compounds which are of value as antibacterial agents. These new antibacterial agents are bis-esters of methanediol, in which one hydroxy group of the methanediol has been esterified with the carboxy group of a 6-acylaminopenicillanic acid compound, and the other hydroxy group of the methanediol has been esterified with the carboxy group of penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide.
In addition, this invention relates to the 6'-aminopenicillanoyloxymethyl ester, halomethyl esters, alkylsulfonyloxymethyl esters and arylsulfonyloxymethyl esters of penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide. The latter compounds are useful intermediates to the antibacterial agents of this invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention provides new antibacterial agents of the formula ##STR1## and the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, wherein R.sup.1 is an acyl group of an organic carboxylic acid. However, preferred compounds of the formula I are those in which R.sup.1 is an acyl group known from a natural, biosynthetic or semisynthetic penicillin compound. Especially preferred compounds of the formula I are those in which R.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of 2-phenylacetyl, 2-phenoxyacetyl, 2-amino-2-phenylacetyl, 2-amino-2-[4-hydroxyphenyl]acetyl, 2-carboxy-2-phenylacetyl, 2-carboxy-2-[2-thienyl]acetyl, 2-carboxy-2-[3-thienyl]acetyl, 2-[4-ethyl-2,3-dioxopiperazinocarbonylamino]-2-phenylacetyl and a group of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkanoyl having from two to four carbons and alkylsulfonyl having from one to three carbons.

This invention also provides compounds of the formula: ##STR3## and the salts thereof, wherein X is a good leaving group. Examples of X are chloro, bromo, iodo, alkylsulfonyloxy having from one to four carbon atoms, benzenesulfonyloxy and toluenesulfonyloxy. The compounds of formulae III and IV are useful as intermediates to the antibacterial agents of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to derivatives of penicillanic acid, which is represented by the following structural ##STR4## In formula V, broken line attachment of a substituent to the bicyclic nucleus indicates that the substituent is below the plane of the bicyclic nucleus. Such a substituent is said to be in the alpha-configuration. Conversely, solid line attachment of a substituent to the bicylic nucleus indicates that the substituent is attached above the plane of the nucleus. This latter configuration is referred to as the beta-configuration.
Using this system, the compounds of formulae I and III are named as derivatives of penicillanoyloxymethyl penicillanate (VA), in which primed and unprimed locants are used to distinguish between the two ring systems, viz: ##STR5##
Additionally, throughout this specification, whenever reference is made to a compound which has a 2-amino-2-(substituted)acetamido or 2-(substituted amino)-2-(substituted)acetamido group at the 6-position of a penicillanic acid derivative, it is to be understood that this refers to a compound in which said 2-amino-2-(substituted)acetamido or 2-(substituted amino)-2-(substituted)acetamido has the D-configuration.
In one method according to the invention a compound of formula I can be prepared by reacting a carboxylate salt of the formula ##STR6## with a compound of the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sup.1 and X are as previously defined, and M is a carboxylate salt forming cation. A variety of cations can be used to form the carboxylate salt in the compound of formula VI, but salts which are commonly used include: alkali metal salts, such as sodium and potassium salts; alkaline earth metal salts, such as calcium and barium salts; and tertiary amine salts, such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, diisopropylethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N-methylpiperidine, N-methylpyrrolidine, N,N'-dimethylpiperazine and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline.
The reaction between a compound of formula VI and a compound of formula VII is usually carried out by contacting the reagents in a polar, organic solvent, at a temperature in the range from about 0.degree. to about 80.degree. C., and preferably from 25.degree. to 50.degree. C. The compounds of formula VI and VII are usually contacted in substantially equimolar proportions, but an excess of either reagent, for example up to a ten-fold excess, can be used. A wide variety of solvents can be used, but it is usually advantageous to use a relatively polar solvent, since this has the effect of speeding up the reaction. Typical solvents which can be used include N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide and hexamethylphosphoramide. The reaction time varies according to a number of factors, but at about 25.degree. C. reaction times of several hours, e.g. 12 to 24 hours, are commonly used. When X is chloro or bromo, it is sometimes advantageous to add up to about one molar equivalent of an alkali metal iodide, which has the effect of speeding up the reaction.
The compound of formula I is isolated in conventional fashion. When a water-miscible solvent is used, it is usually sufficient simply to dilute the reaction medium with an excess of water. The product is then extracted into a water immiscible solvent, such as ethyl acetate, and then the product is recovered by solvent evaporation. When a water immiscible solvent is used, it is usually sufficient to wash the solvent with water, and then recover the product by solvent evaporation. The compound of formula I can be purified by well-known methods, such as recrystallization or chromatography, but due regard must be given to the lability of the beta-lactam ring system.
When the group R.sup.1 in a compound of formula VI contains a basic group, such as a primary amino group, this group can interfere during the reaction with the ester VII. In this case it is usually advantageous to protect the amino group in R.sup.1 before contacting the compound of formula VI with the compound of formula VII. A variety of conventional amino protecting groups can be used for this purpose. The only requirements for such a group are that: (a) it can be affixed to the compound of formula VI under conditions which do not adversely affect the compound of formula VI; (b) it is stable under the conditions under which the compound of formula VI reacts with the compound of formula VII; and (c) it can be removed after the reaction with the compound of formula VII is complete, using conditions which do not adversely affect the compound of formula I. Typical amino protecting groups which can be used are benzyloxycarbonyl, substituted benzyloxycarbonyl, 2-nitrophenylsulfenyl and 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl. Benzyloxycarbonyl and 4-nitrobenzyloxycarobnyl are particularly convenient groups.
When the group R.sup.1 in a compound of formula VI contains a carboxy group, it is usual to protect this carboxy group before the reaction with the compound of formula VII, particularly when the carboxy group is subject to ready decarboxylation. In this case it is advantageous to start with a compound of formula VI in which the carboxy group in R.sup.1 is in the form of a readily hydrolyzable ester, e.g. a phenyl or substituted phenyl ester. After the coupling with the compound of formula VII is complete, the free carboxy group in R.sup.1 is liberated by mild, alkaline hydrolysis, e.g. using the technique disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,679,801. This methodology is especially useful when R.sup.1 is a group such as 2-carboxy-2-phenylacetyl, 2-carboxy-2-[thienyl]acetyl, etc.
A variation of the foregoing method of preparing a compound of formula I involves reaction of a compound of the formula ##STR8## with a compound of the formula ##STR9## wherein M and X are as defined previously, and R.sup.2 is the group R.sup.1, but with any free amino groups and/or carboxy groups protected, followed if necessary by removal of any amino or carboxy protecting group. In the compounds of formula IX, the free amino groups and the carboxy groups are protected with exactly the same protecting groups as described earlier for the compound of formula VI. The reaction between a compound of formula VIII and IX is carried out in exactly the same manner that is used for the reaction of a compound of formula VI with a compound of formula VII. Finally, any amino and/or carboxy protecting groups are removed, and these are removed in conventional manner for the group involved.
In another method according to the invention, a compound of formula I can be prepared by acylation of the compound of formula III with an activated derivative of an acid of the formula R.sup.2 -COOH, wherein R.sup.2 is as previously defined, followed if necessary by removal of any amino and/or carboxy protecting groups from R.sup.2. This converts the moiety R.sup.2 -CO into the moiety R.sup.1 -CO.
The acylation reaction is usually conducted in a reaction-inert solvent system. In a typical acylation procedure, from about 0.5 to about three molar equivalents of the activated derivative of the acid of formula R.sup.2 -COOH is contacted with the compound of formula III, in a reaction-inert solvent system, at a temperature in the range from about -40.degree. to about 30.degree. C., and preferably from about -10.degree. to about 10.degree. C. The preferred ratio of activated derivative to compound of formula III is 1.0:1.0 to 1.2:1.0. Reaction-inert solvents which are commonly used in this acylation are: chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chloroform and dichloromethane; ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran; low molecular weight esters, such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate; low molecular weight aliphatic ketones, such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; tertiary amides, such as N,N-dimethylformamide and N-methylpyrrolidone; acetonitrile; water; and mixtures thereof. When aqueous or partially aqueous solvent systems are used, the pH should be maintained in the range from about 4 to about 9, and preferably about 7.
An activated derivative of the acid of the formula R.sup.2 -COOH which is commonly used is an acid halide, e.g. the acid chloride. In this instance it is preferable, though not essential, to carry out the acylation in the presence of an acid binder. Suitable acid binders are tertiary amines such as trialkylamines, e.g. triethylamine, N-methylmorpholine, N,N-dimethylaniline, pyridine and the like, or bicarbonates such as potassium bicarbonate or sodium bicarbonate. Buffer systems such as phosphate buffers can also be used.
Other activated derivatives of the acid of formula R.sup.2 -COOH which can be used are active esters. Examples of active esters are phenyl esters, such as 4-nitrophenyl and 2,4,5-trichlorophenyl esters; thio esters, such as thiol methyl and thiol phenyl esters; and N-hydroxy esters, such as N-hydroxysuccinimide and N-hydroxyphthalimide esters. These active esters are prepared by methods well-known in the art. In many cases, the active ester can be replaced by the corresponding acid azide, or by the imidazole or triazole amide.
Another method for activation of the acid of formula R.sup.2 -COOH involves mixed anhydride formation, i.e. mixed carboxylic-carbonic and mixed dicarboxylic anhydride formation. In the case of mixed carboxylic carbonic anhydrides, a carboxylate salt of the acid of formula R.sup.2 -COOH is usually reacted with a lower-alkyl chloroformate, e.g. ethyl chloroformate; in the case of a mixed dicarboxylic anhydride, a carboxylate salt of the acid of formula R.sup.2 -COOH is usually reacted with a hindered lower-alkanoyl chloride, e.g. pivaloyl chloride.
In addition to the above, the acid of formula R.sup.2 -COOH can be activated by contacting the acid with a peptide coupling agent, according to standard procedures. Such agents include carbodiimides, for example dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, alkoxyacetylenes, for example methoxyacetylene and ethoxyacetylene, and N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline.
The protecting groups used to protect amino or carboxy groups in a compound of formula R.sup.2 -COOH are those conventionally used during acylation of a 6-aminopenicillanic acid derivative. Protecting groups which are particularly useful for amino groups are the benzyloxycarbonyl group, the 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl group and the enamines formed by condensation with a beta-dicarbonyl compound such as an alkyl acetoacetate. After the acylation step, the amino protecting group is removed in conventional fashion. When the acid of formula R.sup.2 -COOH is to be activated as an acid halide e.g. acid chloride, an especially convenient manner of protecting an amino group involves salt formation, e.g. formation of a hydrochloride salt.
The compounds of formula VI are known antibiotics, which are prepared by the published procedures.
The compounds of formula VII are prepared from the compounds of formula VIII by reaction with a compound of formula Y-CH.sub.2 -X, wherein X and Y are each good leaving groups, e.g. chloro, bromo, iodo, alkylsulfonyloxy, benenesulfonyloxy or toluenesulfonyloxy. The same conditions that were described previously for reaction of a compound of formula VII with a compound of formula VI are used for this reaction, except that it is preferable to use an excess of the compound of formula X-CH.sub.2 -Y (e.g. a four-fold excess).
In like manner, the compounds of formula IX are prepared by reaction of a compound of formula ##STR10## with a compound of formula Y-CH.sub.2 -X, wherein R.sup.2, M, Y and X are as previously defined. The conditions used are the same as those described previously for reaction of a compound of formula VIII with a compound of formula X-CH.sub.2 -Y.
The compound of formula III can be prepared by a three-step procedure which comprises: (a) conversion of 6-aminopenicillanic acid into a 6-(protected amino)penicillanic acid; (b) reaction of a salt of the 6-(protected amino)penicillanic acid with a compound of formula VII; and (c) removal of the amino protecting group A wide variety of amino protecting groups can be used for this purpose, and typical examples are benzyloxycarbonyl, 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl and 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl. Steps (a) and (c) are carried out in conventional fashion, and step (b) is carried out in exactly the same manner that was described previously for reaction of a compound of formula VII with a compound of formula VI.
Alternatively, the compound of formula III can be prepared by a four-step procedure which comprises (i) conversion of 6-aminopenicillanic acid into a 6-(protected amino)penicillanic acid; (ii) reaction of a salt of the 6-(protected amino)penicillanic acid with a compound of formula X-CH.sub.2 -Y, wherein X and Y are as previously defined; (iii) reaction of the product of step (ii) with a compound of formula VIII; and (iv) removal of the amino protecting group. A wide variety of amino protecting groups can be used for this purpose, and typical examples are benzyloxycarbonyl, 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl and 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl. Steps (i) and (iv) are carried out in conventional fashion; step (ii) is carried out in exactly the same manner that was described previously for reaction of a compound of formula VIII with a compound of formula X-CH.sub.2 -Y; and step (iii) is carried out in exactly the same manner that was described previously for reaction of a compound of formula VI with a compound of formula VII.
Penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide and the salts thereof are prepared by published procedures (see West German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,824,535).
Those compounds of formula I which have a basic function, e.g. an amino group, in the group R.sup.1 will form acid addition salts, and these acid addition salts are considered to be within the scope and purview of this invention. Said acid addition salts are prepared by standard methods for penicillin compounds, for example by combining a solution of the compound of formula I in a suitable solvent (e.g. water, acetone, methanol, ethanol or butanol) with a solution containing a stoichiometric equivalent of the appropriate acid. If the salt precipitates, it is recovered by filtration. Alternatively, it can be recovered by evaporation of the solvent, or, in the case of aqueous solutions, by lyophilization. Of particular value are the sulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, nitrate, phosphate, citrate, tartrate, pamoate, perchlorate, sulfosalicylate and 4-toluenesulfonate salts.
Those compounds of formula I which have an acidic function e.g. a carboxyl group, in the group R.sup.1 will form base salts, and these base salts are to be considered within the scope and purview of this invention. The base salts are prepared by standard methods for penicillin compounds, for example by contacting the acidic and basic components in a stoichiometric ratio, in an aqueous, non-aqueous or partially aqueous medium, as appropriate. They are then recovered by filtration, by precipitation with a non-solvent followed by filtration, by evaporation of the solvent, or, in the case of aqueous solutions, by lyophilization, as appropriate. Basic agents which are suitably employed in salt formation belong to both the organic and inorganic types, and they include ammonia, organic amines, alkali metal hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, hydrides and alkoxides, as well as alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, hydrides and alkoxides. Representative examples of such bases are primary amines, such as n-propylamine, n-butylamine, aniline, cyclohexylamine, benzylamine, p-toluidine and octylamine; secondary amines, such as diethylamine, N-methylaniline, morpholine, pyrrolidine and piperidine; tertiary amines, such as triethylamine, N,N-dimethylaniline, N-ethylpiperidine, N-methylmorpholine and 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene; hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide and barium hydroxide; alkoxides, such as sodium ethoxide and potassium ethoxide; hydrides, such as calcium hydride and sodium hydride; carbonates, such as potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate; and bicarbonates, such as sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate.
When contemplating therapeutic use for a salt of an antibacterial compound of this invention, it is necessary to use a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt; however, salts other than these can be used for a variety of purposes. Such purposes include isolating and purifying particular compounds, and interconverting pharmaceutically-acceptable salts and their non-salt counterparts.
The compounds of formula I possess in vivo antibacterial activity in mammals, and this activity can be demonstrated by standard techniques for penicillin compounds. For example, the compound of formula I is administered to mice in which acute infections have been established by intraperitoneal inoculation with a standardized culture of a pathogenic bacterium. Infection severity is standardized such that the mice receive one to ten times the LD.sub.100 (LD.sub.100 : the minimum inoculation required to consistently kill 100 percent of control mice). At the end of the test, the activity of the compound is assessed by counting the number of survivors which have been challenged by the bacterium and also have received the compound of formula I. The compounds of formula I can be administered by both the oral (p.o.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) route.
The in vivo activity of the antibacterial compounds of this invention makes them suitable for the control of bacterial infections in mammals, including man, by both the oral and parenteral modes of administration. The compounds are useful in the control of infections caused by susceptible bacteria in human subjects. In general, it is the substitutent R.sup.1 which determines whether a given bacterium will be susceptible to a given compound of formula I. A compound of formula I breaks down to the corresponding compound of formula VI (or free acid thereof) and penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide after administration to a mammalian subject by both the oral and parenteral route. Penicillanic acid 1,1-dioxide then functions as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, and it increases the antibacterial effectiveness of the compound of formula VI (or free acid thereof). For example, when R.sup.1 is 2-phenylacetyl or 2-phenoxyacetyl, the compounds will find use in the control of infections caused by susceptible strains of Staphylococcus aureus; when R.sup.1 is D-2-amino-2-phenylacetyl, D-2-amino-2-[4-hydroxyphenyl]acetyl, 2-carboxy-2-phenylacetyl, 2-carboxy-2 -[2-thienyl]acetyl, 2-carboxy-2-[3-thienyl]acetyl, 2-[4-ethyl-2,3-dioxopiperazinocarbonylamino]-2-phenylacetyl or a group of formula II, the compounds are useful in the control of infections caused by susceptible strains of Escherichia coli.
In determining whether a particular strain of Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli is sensitive to a particular compound of formula I, the in vivo test described earlier can be used. Alternatively, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a 1:1 mixture of the compound of formula VI (or its corresponding free acid) and the compound of formula VIII (or its corresponding free acid) can be measured. The MIC's can be measured by the procedure recommended by the International Collaborative Study on Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing (Ericcson and Sherris, Acta. Pathologica et Microbiologia Scandinav, Supp. 217, Section B: 64-68 [1971]), which employs brain heart infusion (BHI) agar and the inocula replicating device. Overnight growth tubes are diluted 100 fold for use as the standard inoculum (20,000-10,000 cells in approximately 0.002 ml. are placed on the agar surface; 20 ml. of BHI agar/dish). Twelve 2 fold dilutions of the test compound are employed, with initial concentration of the test drug being 200 mcg./ml. Single colonies are disregarded when reading plates after 18 hrs. at 37.degree. C. The susceptibility (MIC) of the test organism is accepted as the lowest concentration of compound capable of producing complete inhibition of growth as judged by the naked eye.
When using an antibacterial compound of this invention, or a salt thereof, in a mammal, particularly man, the compound can be administered alone, or it can be mixed with other antibiotic substances and/or pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers or diluents. Said carrier or diluent is chosen on the basis of the intended mode of administration. For example, when considering the oral mode of administration, an antibacterial compound of this invention can be used in the form of tablets, capsules, lozenges, troches, powders, syrups, elixirs, aqueous solutions and suspensions, and the like, in accordance with standard pharmaceutical practice. The proportional ratio of active ingredient to carrier will naturally depend on the chemical nature, solubility and stability of the active ingredient, as well as the dosage contemplated. In the case of tablets for oral use, carriers which are commonly used include lactose, sodium citrate and salts of phosphoric acid. Various disintegrants such as starch, and lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc, are commonly used in tablets. For oral administration in capsule form, useful diluents are lactose and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols, e.g. polyethylene glycols having molecular weights of from 2000 to 4000. When aqueous suspensions are required for oral use, the active ingredient is combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening and/or flavoring agents can be added. For parenteral administration, which includes intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, and intravenous use, sterile solutions of the active ingredient are usually prepared, and the pH of the solutions are suitably adjusted and buffered. For intravenous use, the total concentration of solutes should be controlled to render the preparation isotonic.
As indicated earlier, the antibacterial compounds of this invention are of use in human subjects and the daily dosages to be used will not differ significantly from other, clinically-used, penicillin antibiotics. The prescribing physician will ultimately determine the appropriate dose for a given human subject, and this can be expected to vary according to the age, weight, and response of the individual patient as well as the nature and the severity of the patient's symptoms. The compounds of this invention will normally be used orally at dosages in the range from about 20 to about 100 mg. per kilogram of body weight per day, and parenterally at dosages from about 10 to about 100 mg. per kilogram of body weight per day, usually in divided doses. In some instances it may be necessary to use doses outside these ranges.

To a solution of 1.6 g. of 6'-(2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-phenylacetamido)penicillanoyloxymethyl penicillanate 1,1-dioxide in 100 ml. of tetrahydrofuran and 80 ml. of water was added 0.12 ml. of glacial acetic acid followed by 1.6 g. of 10% palladium-on-carbon. The mixture was shaken under an atmosphere of hydrogen at a pressure of ca. 50 psig for 1.5 hours. At this point the catalyst was removed by filtration and 1.6 g. of fresh catalyst was added. The mixture was shaken under hydrogen at ca. 50 psig for a further 1 hour. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the bulk of the tetrahydrofuran was removed by evaporation in vacuo. The pH of the residual aqueous phase was lowered to 2.0 using 6N hydrochloric acid and the acidified solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and evaporated in vacuo to give 500 mg. of impure starting material. The pH of the above acidified solution was raised to 8.5 and then it was further extracted with ethyl acetate. The latter extracts were combined, dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and evaporated in vacuo to give 500 mg. of the title compound (38% yield).

To a 500 ml. hydrogenation flask, containing 6'-2-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-phenylacetamido)penicillanoyloxymethyl penicillanate 1,1-dioxide (5.50 g.) in tetrahydrofuran (75 ml.) were added water (75 ml.) acetic acid (1 drop) and 10% palladium on carbon (13.75 g.). The mixture was purged with nitrogen and then it was shaken under an atmosphere of hydrogen at 47 psig pressure for 30 minutes. An additional catalyst charge (3.00 g.) was added and the mixture was hydrogenated for an additional 15 minutes. The mixture was purged with nitrogen and filtered through a celite pad. The catalyst was washed with tetrahydrofuran (50 ml.) and water (30 ml.). The black solution was refiltered. 1.0N Hydrochloric acid (7.54 ml.) was then added to the aqueous solution which was cooled to 0.degree. C. The pH of this yellow solution was 1.7. Tetrahydrofuran was then removed in vacuo and the resultant aqueous solution was saturated with sodium chloride and extracted with ether (2.times.100 ml.). The aqueous solution was then reextracted with methylene chloride (5.times.50 ml.). The organic extracts were backwashed with saturated brine (2.times.50 ml.), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to ca. 100 ml. The crude product was precipitated with hexane (100 ml.) and filtered to afford 3.2 g. of a cream colored solid. The crude product was redissolved in methylene chloride (50 ml.) and precipitated slowly with hexane (40 ml.) to afford after drying (23.degree./1.6 mm.) 2.78 g. (58%) of the title product, m.p. 190.degree. C.
PREPARATION 1
