Compounds of formula II can be prepared in analogous manner with the exception of the reduction step (d). ##STR26##
The compound (I), of the above Scheme I 1,4-dibromo-2,5-difluorobenzene, is converted to the Grignard (IIa) by reaction with magnesium in an organic solvent such as ether or tetrahydrofuran. The Grignard is reacted with a cyclic ketone (IIIa) to form the corresponding alcohol (IVa). Alternatively compound (I) may h=reacted with n-butyl lithium in tetrahydrofuran to form the organo lithium reagent (IIb). This reagent can be reacted with a cyclic ketone to form the corresponding alcohol of the type (IVb). The alcohols produced (for example, IVa and IVb) can be dehydrated under acid catalyzed conditions such as aqueous acid or an organic acid in a solvent such as toluene using a Dean-Stark trap to form the corresponding alkenes (Va) and (Vb). The alkene is reduced to the corresponding saturated compounds (VIb) and (VIIa) using hydrogen and a metal catalyst in an organic solvent, for example, Wilkinson's in tetrahydrofuran (THF). If desired, the alkene (Va) can be reduced to the saturated alcohol (VIa) using a metal hydride in an organic solvent, for example, sodium borohydride in pyridine. Alternatively the ketone (VIIa) can be converted to the alcohol (VIa) using a metal hydride in a solvent, for example, sodium borohydride in methanol. The alcohol (VIa) can be converted to a protected amino group (VIIIa) directly using the known Mitsunobo reaction (Synthesis, 1981, 1). Alternatively the alcohol compound VIa can be converted to the tosylate or mesylate derivative (VIIb). A displacement reaction with potassium phthalimide in a polar solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide or N,N-dimethylformamide converts these derivatives to the protected amino compound (VIIIa).
This derivative is then reacted with copper (I) cyanide in dimethylformamide (DMF) to form the nitrile (VIIIb) which is subsequently completely hydrolyzed to the amino acid compound (IX). This compound (IX), after acetylation to reprotect the amine function, gives (IXa), which is converted to the acid chloride (Xa) or the ididazolide (Xb). Either derivative (Xa or Xb) can then be reacted with the preformed dianion of monoethyl malonate, prepared from monoethyl malonic acid and n-butyl lithium in THF, to produce the keto ester (XI). This is reacted with triethyl orthoformate in acetic anhydride to form the diethylethoxymethylenemalonate (EMME) adduct XII. This adduct is then reacted with a primary amine in a solvent such as t-butanol to produce the enamine (XIII). Primary amines can be aliphatic amines (such as cyclopropylamine, ethylamine, etc.), aromatic amines (such as p-fluoroaniline, 2,4-difluoroaniline, etc.) or heteroaromatic amines (such as 2-aminopyridine, 3-aminopyridine, 4-aminopyridine, etc.). These compounds are reacted with potassium t-butoxide in a solvent such as t-butanol forming the desired cyclized nitrogen containing compound XIV. The amine protecting group and the ester can be removed by either acid or base hydrolysis to give the final product (XV). ##STR27##
Alternately (Scheme II) as shown above, the saturated ketone (VIIa) (Scheme I) can be protected as the ketal (XVI) using ethylene glycol in a high boiling aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as toluene and an acid catalyst such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, removing the water using a Dean-Stark trap. The ketal (XVI) can be lithiated at low temperature (-78.degree. C.) using n-butyl lithium in an anhydrous solvent such as THF and carbonating the organo lithium reagent using a form of carbon dioxide (either gaseous or dry ice) to give the acid, (XVII). The acid (XVII) can be converted to the imidazolide (XVIII) by reaction with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole in a solvent such as acetonitrile at ambient temperatures (50.degree. C). The imidazolide can be reacted with the preformed dianion of monoethyl malonate prepared as in Scheme I to give the keto ester, (XIX). The keto ester (XIX) can be reacted with triethyl orthoformate in acetic anhydride at reflux to give the EMME adduct, (XX). The EMME adduct (XX) can be reacted with a primary amine such as those described in Scheme I, in a polar solvent such as t-butanol to produce the enamine, (XXI). Ring closure to (XXII) can then be effected by the addition of a strong, hindered base such as potassium t-butoxide to the enamine in t-butanol. Hydrolysis of the ketal and ester functionalities using acid catalysis gives the keto acid (XXIII). The ketone can be converted to the oxime (XXIV) using hydroxylamine hydrochloride, a base such as potassium carbonate and a polar solvent such as aqueous ethanol. The oxime can then be reduced using hydrogen on a catalyst such as Raney-nickel in a polar solvent such as DMF to give the desired amino acid (XV). ##STR28##
In an alternate sequence of reactions (Scheme III) above the desired intermediate amino acid (IX) can be prepared from (VIIIa) by removing the amine protecting group using hydrazine in a polar solvent such as methanol to give the free amino compound (XXV). This compound can be reprotected as the silyl derivative (XXVI) which is impervious to n-butyl lithium. This permits (XXVI) to be lithiated using n-butyl lithium in a solvent such as THF with subsequent carbonation using carbon dioxide in either gaseous or solid form (dry ice) to give the desired amino acid (IX) which can be converted to the desired final product (XV) by the sequence of reactions outlined in Scheme I. ##STR29##
The compound (D) of Scheme IV above, 2,5-difluoro-4-(1-methyl-4-hydroxy-4-piperidinyl)benzoic acid, is prepared by reacting 1-methyl-4-piperidone with the dianion of 4-bromo-2,5-difluorobenzoic acid [Kogyo Kagaku Zasshi, 73, 972 (1970)]which is in turn prepared by the action of n-butyl lithium in tetrahydrofuran. The alcohol can then be dehydrated to the alkene (E) by refluxing in 6.0 M hydrochloric acid. Hydrogenation of the alkene using 10% palladium on carbon in water gives the saturated compound F.
Alternatively F can be prepared starting with 1,4-dibromo-2,5-difluorobenzene (Compound I, Scheme I). The anion (IIb - Scheme I) is prepared by reaction with butyl lithium in tetrahydrofuran and then addition of 1-methyl-4-piperidone to give the alcohol A. Dehydration in refluxing 6.0 M hydrochloric acid gives the alkene B. Displacement of the second bromine using copper (I) cyanide in refluxing N,N-dimethylformamide gives the nitrile C. The alkene can be reduced to the saturated compound K using Wilkinson's catalyst in tetrahydrofuran. Hydrolysis of the nitrile in refluxing 6.0 M hydrochloric acid gives the acid F.
Compound F can also be prepared from the bromoalkene B by first reducing to the saturated bromo compound VIb.sup.1 (which is the six membered analog of VIb - (Scheme I) using Wilkinson's catalyst in tetrahydrofuran. Preparation of the anion using butyl lithium in tetrahydrofuran followed by carbonation using gaseous carbon dioxide or dry ice gives the acid F.
The amino acid (F) is converted to the acid chloride hydrochloride (G) by refluxing in thionyl chloride. The keto ester (H) can then be prepared by reacting the neutralized amino acid chloride with the preformed dianion of monoethyl malonic acid (prepared from mono ethyl malonic acid and n-butyl lithium in tetrahydrofuran). This is reacted with triethyl orthoformate in acetic anhydride to give the EMME adduct I. This adduct is then reacted with a primary amine in a solvent such as t-butanol to produce the enamine J. Primary amines can be amines such as those described for the enamine XIII (Scheme II). Reaction with a base such as potassium t-butoxide in a solvent such as t-butanol form the desired, cyclized nitrogen containing compound (Ex. 1). The ester is hydrolyzed and the amine is converted to the hydrochloride salt by refluxing in 6.0 M hydrochloric acid and evaporating the resulting solution to dryness to give the desired final product.
The compounds of the invention are capable of forming both pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition and/or base salts. Base salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Examples of suitable amines are N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, and procaine.
Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are formed with organic and inorganic acids.
Examples of suitable acids for salt formation are hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, gluconic, fumaric, succinic, lactic, ascorbic, maleic, methanesulfonic, and the like. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce either a mono or di, etc salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt form with a base. For example, dilute solutions of aqueous base may be utilized. Dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonia, and sodium bicarbonate solutions are suitable for this purpose. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to their respective free base forms for purposes of the invention. Use of excess base where R' is hydrogen gives the corresponding basic salt.
The compounds of the invention can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms, including hydrated forms and the like are equivalent to the unsolvated forms for purposes of the invention.
Certain compounds of the invention may exist in optically active forms. The pure R isomer, pure S isomer as well as mixtures thereof, including the racemic mixtures, are contemplated by the invention Additional asymmctric carbon atoms may be present in a substituent such as alkyl group. The presence of an .alpha.-amino acid group on the compounds of the present invention means they all exist in optically active forms. The pure D isomer, pure L isomer as well as mixtures thereof, including the racemic mixtures, are contemplated by the invention. The individual D and L isomers are preferably prepared by using the naturally occurring L-.alpha.-amino acids or their D-conformers and, in the case of other .alpha.-amino acids, resolving such acids by known means, then reacting them by methods of standard peptide chemistry.
An additional asymmetric carbon atom may be present in the Z portion of the compounds of formula I. Thus the compounds of formula I may have two asymmetric carbon atoms and four optical isomers where both asymmetric carbon atoms reside in the Z group. All such isomers, diastereomers, enantiomers as well as mixtures thereof are intended to be included in the invention.
The compounds of the invention can be prepared and administered in a wide variety of oral and parenteral dosage forms. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the following dosage forms may comprise as the active component, either a compound of formula I or Ia or a corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula I or Ia.
For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablet disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compound In the tablet the active compound is mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 or 10 to about 70 percent of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.
Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Such solutions are prepared so as to be acceptable to biological systems (isotonicity, pH, etc). Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspension suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and other well-known suspending agents.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself or it can be the appropriate number of any of these packaged forms.
The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from 1 mg to 100 mg according to the particular application and the potency of the active ingredient.
In therapeutic use as agents for treating bacterial infections the compounds utilized in the pharmaceutical method of this invention are administered at the initial dosage of about 3 mg to about 40 mg per kilogram daily. A daily dose range of about 6 mg to about 14 mg per kilogram is preferred. The dosages, however, may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired.
The compounds of the invention display antibacterial activity when tested by the microtitration dilution method as described by Heifetz et al, Antimicr. Agents & Chemoth., 6, 124 (1974), which is incorporated herein by reference.
