1-N-4,6-di-O-(Aminoglycosyl)-1,3-diamino-cyclitol derivatives, processes for their preparation and their use

The present invention relates to 1-N-4,6-di-O-(aminoglycosyl)-1,3-diamino-cyclitol derivatives, processes for their preparation and their use as medicaments, in particular as antimicrobial agents.
Aminoglycoside antibiotics are important substances for effectively combating bacterial infections. However, the appearance of resistant germs reduces their broad applicability in many cases; furthermore, side-effects can occur. In some cases it may be desirable to avoid these disadvantages by using derivatives of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Examples which are already known of such derivatives of aminoglycose antibiotics are 1-N-(4-amino-2-hydroxy-butyryl)-kanamicin A, 1-N-acetylsisomicin and 1-N-ethyl-sisomicin (DT-OS (German Published Specification) No. 2,437,160).
According to the present invention there is provided a compound of the general formula ##STR1## or a salt thereof, in which X denotes a radical of the formula ##STR2## U, V, and W independently denote a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group, but U and V cannot be OH simultaneously, Z denotes a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl or amino group, and
A denotes a radical ##STR3## in which R denotes an alkyl, alkenyl, alkinyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, heterocyclyl or heterocyclylalkyl group it being possible for the radicals R mentioned to be substituted:
R.sup.1, independently of R, has any of the meanings indicated for R or denotes a hydrogen atom; and
R.sup.2, independently of R.sup.1 has any of the meanings given for R.sup.1, or denotes a hydroxyl, alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, optionally substituted aralkoxy, heterocyclyloxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or alkoxycarbonyl group or a group of the general formula ##STR4## in which R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently denote any of the meanings given for R.sup.1 or denote a hydroxyl, alkoxy, cycloalkoxy, optionally substituted aralkoxy, heterocyclyloxy, hydroxyl, amino, alkylamino or dialkylamino group, or
R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 or R.sup.3 and R.sup.4, including the N atom to which they are bonded, form a saturated heterocyclic ring.
These compounds and their pharmaceuticaly acceptable salts exhibit powerful antibacterial properties against a number of germs and are particularly well tolerated.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts are derived from inorganic or organic acids, such as, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, ascorbic acid and citric acid.

in which
R', R", R"', R"" and R.sup.V independently denote a hydrogen or an amino protective group which can be easily split off under the reaction conditions,
or their salts which contain an inorganic or organic acid radical, are reacted in a manner which is in itself known with an acylating agent of the formula IV
A'--CO--E (IV)
in which
A' has the meaning indicated above for A, with the exception that any free amino groups present in A are blocked with the customary amino-protective groups, such as are known, for example, from the literature reference Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), volume XV/1, pages 46-305, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart, 1974, but preferably with the o-nitrophenyl-sulphenyl protective group, and
E denotes a halogen atom, preferably Cl or Br, N.sub.3, --O--CO--O--R*, --OR* having the meaning of A' indicated above, phenoxy, 4-nitrophenoxy, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy or ##STR13## and the mixture is worked up in the customary manner, the protective groups being split off if appropriate, to give compounds of the formula I, or these are converted into their salts, preferably their pharmaceutically usable salts.

R.sup.2' has the meaning of R.sup.2 indicated above, with the exception of alkoxycarbonyl and ##STR15## are obtained when a compound of the formula V ##STR16## in which X', Y', U, V, W and Z' have the meaning indicated above,

Several such protective groups are known (Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), volume XV/1, pages 46-305, Georg-Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart 1974).
According to formula III, one of the N atoms or all the N atoms except for 1-N can be blocked; furthermore, it is possible to use the free 4,6-di-O-(aminoglycosyl)-1,3-diamino-cyclitols or their acid addition salts as starting materials.

Surprisingly, the derivatives according to the invention and their pharmaceutically usable salts show a higher action against resistant bacteria strains, coupled with good compatibility, than the compounds known from the state of the art. The substances according to the invention thus represent an enrichment of pharmacy.

If 2',3,3",6'-tetra-N-(o-nitrophenylsulphenyl)-1-N-(p-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)-sisomicin and hydroxylamine are used as starting materials, the course of the reaction can be represented by the equation which follows: ##STR20##
The 4,6-di-O-(aminoglycosyl)-1,3-diamino-cyclitols of the formula VIII ##STR21## in which X, Y, U, V, Z and W have the meaning indicated above, used as starting materials for forming the derivatives are known (see, for example, DT-OS (German Published Specification) No. 2,437,160 and DT-OS (German Published Specification) No. 2,552,799) or can be prepared by known processes.
Those N-protected derivatives according to the formulae III and V in which
R', R", R"', R"" and R.sup.V represent sulphenyl protective groups of the --SR.sup.5 type,
wherein
R.sup.5 denotes phenyl, substituted phenyl or di- or tri-phenylmethyl,
are preferably used in the process for the preparation of the 1-N-4,6-di-O-(aminoglycosyl)-1,3-diamino-cyclitol derivatives according to the invention.
For the preparation of 4,6-di-O-(aminoglycosyl)-1,3-diaminocyclitols protected in this manner, compounds of the formula VIII are reacted, according to a new process (German Patent Application No. P 2,726,197.8-Le A 18 047), with about 3 to 4 equivalents of a compound of the formula IX

in which
R.sup.5 has the meaning indicated above and
G designates halogen or a leaving group which is customary in sulphenylation reactions,
in an inert solvent at temperatures between about -30.degree. C. and +50.degree. C. in the presence of a base, and the reaction product is worked up in the customary manner.
Examples which may be mentioned of compounds protected in this manner are: 2',3,3",6'-tetra-N-(o-nitrophenylsulphenyl)-sisomicin, 2',3,3",6'-tetra-N-(2,4-dinitrophenylsulphenyl)-sisomicin, 2',3,3",6'-tetra-N-(pentachlorophenylsulphenyl)-sisomicin, 2',3,3",6'-tetra-N-(tritylsulphenyl)-sisomicin, 2',3,3",6'-tetra-N-(butoxycarbonyl)-sisomicin and 2',3,3",6'-tetra-N-(trifluoroacetyl)-sisomicin.
The starting materials of the formulae IV and VII used as acylating agents are known or can be obtained by processes which are known in principle. Thus, the 4-acyloxy-3-oxo-2,5-diphenyl-2,3-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxides used can be obtained, for example, by warming 4,6-diphenylthieno[3,4-d][1,3]dioxol-2-one 5,5-dioxide (compare Angew. Chem. 88, 480 (1976)) with alcohols or amines in inert solvents, such as toluene or acetonitrile.

The compounds of the formula V used as intermediate products are also new and are prepared by acylating compounds of the formula III with chloroformic acid p-nitrophenyl ester by the process described in this Application.
The amino compounds of the formula VI are known. Examples which may be mentioned are: ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine, ethylamine, ethylmethylamine, diethylamine, propylamine, methylpropylamine, dipropylamine, butylamine, isobutylamine, tert.-butylamine, sec.-butylamine, pentylamine, tert.-pentylamine, 2-ethylhexylamine, decylamine, 2-hydroxyethylamine, 2-methylaminoethanol, 1-amino-2-propanol, bis-(2-hydroxypropyl)-amine, 4-amino-2-butanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-propanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-amino-1-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-methoxyethylamine, 3-chloropropylamine, 3-cyanopropylamine, 3-methylaminopropanenitrile, allylamine, diallylamine, propargylamine, 2,2-dimethoxyethylamine, 2-hydroxy-4-allyloxypropylamine, methylaminoacetamide, 1-amino-2-dimethylaminoethane, 1-amino-2-diethylaminoethane, 1-amino-3-dimethylaminopropane, 1-amino-3-diethylaminopropane, alanine ethyl ester, cyclohexylamine, N-methylcyclohexylamine, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-cyclohexylamine, 1-(cyclohexylamino)-2-propanol, aminomethylcyclohexane, pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, 1-methylpiperazine, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-piperazine, hexamethyleneimine, N,N-dimethylhydrazine, N-hydroxyethyl-N-methyl-hydrazine, 4-aminomorpholine, hydroxylamine, methoxyamine, O,N-dimethylhydroxylamine, ethoxyamine, O,N-diethylhydroxylamine, propoxyamine, O-ethyl-N-propyl-hydroxylamine, butoxyamine, tert.-butoxyamine, cyclohexyloxyamine, benzyloxyamine, 4-chlorobenzyloxyamine, 2,6-dichlorobenzyloxyamine, O-(2-diethylaminoethyl)-hydroxylamine, isoxazolidine and tetrahydroisoxazine.
Possible diluents are all the inert organic solvents. These include, preferably, toluene, chloroform, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulphoxide, ethers, such as diethyl ether, dioxane and tetrahydrofurane, pyridine, alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, and mixtures thereof.
If acid-binding agents are required, all the customary organic and inorganic acid-binding agents can be used. These include, preferably, alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates and bicarbonates and alkaline earth metal carbonates and bicarbonates, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, tertiary aliphatic and aromatic amines, such as triethylamine and N,N-dimethylaniline, and heterocyclic bases, such as pyridine and quinoline.
The reaction temperatures can be varied within a wide range. In general, the reaction is carried out at temperatures from about -30.degree. C. to +80.degree. C., preferably between 0.degree. C. and about +25.degree. C.
The reaction can be carried out under normal pressure, but also under increased pressure. In general, it is carried out under normal pressure.

The compounds according to the invention are antimicrobial agents with a broad spectrum of action and a particular activity against Gram-negative bacteria. These properties make it possible to use them as medicaments, in particular in combating diseases caused by bacteria in warm-blooded animals. They are suitable for the prophylaxis and chemotherapy, in medicine, of local and systemic infections, in particular infections of the urogenital system, which are caused by Gram-negative bacteria, for example E. coli, Proteus, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas. In the agar hole test, inhibition areolas were found, for example, against the following strains of bacteria, using a concentration of 100 micrograms/1 ml: Pseudomonas aerug. 5737, Pseudomonas aerug. F 41, Klebsiella pneum. 2 Munich, Klebsiella pneum. 1 Dusseldorf, E. coli Munster and E. coli Neumann.
The process for the treatment of diseases caused by bacteria is characterised in that the new 1-N derivatives are administered to warm-blooded animals suffering from these diseases.
As stated above, the invention also relates to the use in medicine of the compounds of the invention.
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition containing as active ingredient a compound of the invention in admixture with a solid or liquefied gaseous diluent, or in admixture with a liquid diluent other than a solvent of a molecular weight less than 200 (preferably less than 350) except in the presence of a surface active agent.
The invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition containing as active ingredient a compound of the invention in the form of a sterile and/or physiologically isotonic aqueous solution.
The invention also provides a medicament in dosage unit form comprising a compound of the invention.
The invention also provides a medicament in the form of tablets (including lozenges and granules), dragees, capsules, pills, ampoules or suppositories comprising a compound of the invention.
"Medicament" as used in this Specification means physically discrete coherent portions suitable for medical administration. "Medicament in dosage unit form" as used in this Specification means physically discrete coherent units suitable for medical administration each containing a daily dose or a multiple (up to four times) or sub-multiple (down to a fortieth) of a daily dose of the compound of the invention in association with a carrier and/or enclosed within an envelope. Whether the medicament contains a daily dose or, for example, a half, a third or a quarter of a daily dose will depend on whether the medicament is to be administered once or, for example, twice, three times or four times a day respectively.
The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may, for example, take the form of ointments, gels, pastes, creams, sprays (including aerosols), lotions, suspensions, solutions and emulsions of the active ingredient in aqueous or non-aqueous diluents, syrups, granulates or powders.
The diluents to be used in pharmaceutical compositions (e.g. granulates) adapted to be formed into tablets, dragees, capsules and pills include the following: (a) fillers and extenders, e.g. starch, sugars, mannitol, and silicic acid; (b) binding agents, e.g. carboxymethyl cellulose and other cellulose derivatives, alginates, gelatine and polyvinyl pyrrolidone; (c) moisturizing agents, e.g. glycerol; (d) disintegrating agents, e.g. agar-agar, calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate; (e) agents for retarding dissolution e.g. paraffin; (f) resorption accelerators, e.g. quaternary ammonium compounds; (g) surface active agents, e.g. cetyl alcohol, glycerol monostearate; (h) adsorptive carriers, e.g. kaolin and bentonite; (i) lubricants, e.g. talc, calcium and magnesium stearate and solid polyethyl glycols.
The tablets, dragees, capsules and pills formed from the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can have the customary coatings, envelopes and protective matrices, which may contain opacifiers. They can be so constituted that they release the active ingredient only or preferably in a particular part of the intestinal tract, possibly over a period of time. The coatings, envelopes and protective matrices may be made, for example, of polymeric substances or waxes.
The ingredient can also be made up in microencapsulated form together with one or several of the abovementioned diluents.
The diluents to be used in pharmaceutical compositions adapted to be formed into suppositories can, for example, be the usual water-soluble diluents, such as polyethylene glycols and fats (e.g. cocoa oil and high esters [e.g. C.sub.14 -alcohol with C.sub.16 -fatty acid]) or mixtures of these diluents.
The pharmaceutical compositions which are ointments, pastes, creams and gels can, for example, contain the usual diluents, e.g. animal and vegetable fats, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide or mixtures of these substances.
The pharmaceutical compositions which are powders and sprays can, for example, contain the usual diluents, e.g. lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminium hydroxide, calcium silicate, and polyamide powder or mixtures of these substances. Aerosol sprays can, for example, contain the usual propellants, e.g. chlorofluorohydrocarbons.
The pharmaceutical compositions which are solutions and emulsions can, for example, contain the customary diluents (with, of course, the above-mentioned exclusion of solvents having a molecular weight below 200 except in the presence of a surface-active agent), such as solvents, dissolving agents and emulsifiers; specific examples of such diluents are water, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils [for example ground nut oil], glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitol or mixtures thereof.
For parenteral administration, solutions and emulsions should be sterile, and, if appropriate, bloodiostonic.
The pharmaceutical compositions which are suspensions can contain the usual diluents, such as liquid diluents, e.g. water, ethyl alcohol, propylene glycol, surface-active agents (e.g. ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbite and sorbitane esters), microcrystalline cellulose, aluminium metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth or mixtures thereof.
All the pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention can also contain colouring agents and preservatives as well as perfumes and flavouring additions (e.g. peppermint oil and eucalyptus oil) and sweetening agents (e.g. saccharin).
In addition to a compound of the invention, the pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments according to the invention can also contain other pharmaceutically active compounds. They may also contain a plurality of compounds of the invention.
Any diluent in the medicaments of the present invention may be any of those mentioned above in relation to the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention. Such medicaments may include solvents of molecular weight less than 200 as sole diluent.
The discrete coherent portions constituting the medicament according to the invention will generally be adapted by virtue of their shape or packaging for medical administration and may be, for example, any of the following: tablets (including lozenges and granulates), pills, dragees, capsules, suppositories and ampoules. Some of these forms may be made up for delayed release of the active ingredient. Some, such as capsules, include a protective envelope which renders the portions of the medicament physically discrete and coherent.
The product of the above-mentioned pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments is carried out by any method known in the art, for example, by mixing the active ingredient(s) with the diluent(s) to form a pharmaceutical composition (e.g. a granulate) and then forming the composition into the medicament (e.g. tablets).
This invention further provides a method of combating (including prevention, relief and cure of) the above-mentioned diseases in human and non-human animals, which comprises administering to the animals a compound of the invention alone or in admixture with a diluent or in the form of a medicament according to the invention.
It is envisaged that these active compounds will be administered parenterally (for example intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously intravenously), rectally or locally, preferably parenterally or topically. Preferred pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments are therefore those adapted for administration such as parenteral or topical administration. Administration in the method of the invention is preferably parenteral or topical.
In general, the dose to be administered of the compounds of the invention depends on the age and weight of the organism, on the nature of the administration and on the type and severity of the bacterial infection. The dosage of the compounds according to the invention is usually similar to the dosage of the 1-N-unsubstituted compounds. The dosage range is from 20 mg/day to 2,000 mg/day/warmblooded animal, preferably 100 mg-500 mg/day.
The compounds of the invention can be administered orally. They can be administered in single administrations, or the administration can be divided into several administrations. They can also be applied topically in the form of ointments, creams or lotions. Pharmaceutical excipients for these formulations include water, oils, fats, polyesters and polyols.
As will be shown below, the process for the preparation of medicaments which contain the new 1-N-sisomicin derivatives is characterised in that the new compounds are mixed with pharmaceutically suitable excipients and/or additives.
Tablets, capsules or elixirs can be used for oral administration of the compounds of this invention, but the compounds can also be admixed to the animal feed.
In general, topical formulations contain about 0.1 to about 3.0 g of the compounds of the invention per 100 g of ointment, cream or lotion. Topical application is effected about 2 to 5 times daily.
The antibacterial agents of the invention can be in the liquid form, as solutions or suspensions, for use on the ears and eyes or for parenteral administration in the form of intramuscular injections. Injections solutions or suspensions are usually administered in a manner such that about 1 to 15 mg of active compound per kilogram of body weight enter the infected organism in 2 to 4 doses daily.

The corresponding intermediate products of Table I are prepared analogously to Example 1a. In these preparations, in the case of alcohols with a boiling point >100.degree. C., the reaction should appropriately be carried out using equivalent amounts of an inert solvent, such as toluene or acetonitrile. The reaction products frequently contain a proportion of 4-hydroxy-3-oxo-2,5-diphenyl-2,3-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide to a greater or lesser extent, which does not interfere in the subsequent reaction and therefore does not need to be removed.
