1,8 benzonaphthyridine derivatives and antimicrobial compositions

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to new benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivatives of general formula: ##STR2## to their salts, to their preparation and to compositions containing them.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In Patent Application EP 431,991, benzonaphthyridine derivatives of structure: ##STR3## in which R.sub.1 is H, hydroxy or alkyl, R.sub.2 is H, alkyl, fluoroalkyl, cycloclalkyl, alkyloxy or alkylamino, R.sub.3 is phenyl or phenylalkyl, optionally substituted, and R.sub.4 is H or a fluorine atom, have been described. These products are useful as antimicrobial agents.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It has been found that the products of general formula (I) in which:
R represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl or amino radical or an alkylamino radical in which the alkyl portion is optionally substituted with an amino or hydroxyl radical, or represents a dialkylamino radical in which the alkyl portions, with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, can optionally form a 5- or 6-membered haterecycle optionally containing another hetero atom chosen from nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur, or represents a (3- to 6-membered cycloalkyl)amino radical, or an alkanoylamino, N-alkyl-N-elkenoylamino or aminoalkylphenylamino radical,
R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which my be identical or different, are located, respectively, at positions 2 and 3 and represent hydrogen atoms, alkyl radicals, alkenyl radicals containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms, phenyl radicals or phenyl radicals substituted with a halogen atom or with an alkyl, alkyloxy, hydroxyl, nitro, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino or haloalkyl radical, or alternatively R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are located at position 2 and represent alkyl radicals,
R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, fluoroalkyl or carboxyalkyl radical, a cycloalkyl radical containing 3 to 6 carbon atoms or a fluorophenyl, difluorophenyl, alkyloxy or alkylamino radical, and
R.sub.4 represents a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom, the alkyl and alkanoyl radicals mentioned above being unbranched or branched and containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms,
as well as their salts and, where appropriate, their stereoisomers, manifest especially advantageous antibacterial activity.
When R represents a dialkylamino radical in which the alkyl portions, with the nitrogen atom, form a heterocycle, the latter can be, in particular, pyrrolidinyl or piperidyl.
The products of general formula (I) can exist in the state of a hydrated form; it is understood that these hydrates also fall within the scope of the present invention.
According to the invention, the products of general formula (I) may be obtained by substitution of an azetidine of general formula: ##STR4## in which R, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are defined as above, with a benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine of general formula: ##STR5## in which R.sub.3 is defined as above, Hal is a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom if R.sub.4 is hydrogen, or alternatively Hal and R.sub.4 are simultaneously fluorine atoms.
The action of the azetidine derivative of general formula (II) is generally performed in the presence of an excess of this derivative as acid-acceptor in suitable organic solvents. It is possible to work with or without a solvent, at a temperature of between 20.degree. and 150.degree. C. When the working conditions include the presence of a solvent, the reaction is advantageously performed in solvents such as pyridine, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide or acetonitrile. It is also possible to work in an aqueous medium.
It can also be advantageous to work in the presence of an acid-acceptor such as, e.g., a nitrogenous organic base (triethylamine in particular), an alkali metal carbonate (e.g. sodium carbonate) or an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide.
It is understood that, in the case where the symbol R.sub.3 of the product of general formula (III) is a hydrogen atom, or when R is an amino, optionally substituted alkylamino, cycloalkylamino or aminoalkylphenylamino radical, it is preferable to protect the starting material beforehand. The protection and removal of the protective radical after the reaction are performed according to the customary methods.
The protection may be carried out with any compatible group whose use and removal has no adverse effect on the remainder of the molecule. In particular, the methods employed are those described by T. W. GREENE, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, A. Wiley-Interscience Publication (1981), or by McOMIE, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press (1973).
As an example, the protective groups may be chosen from trimethylsilyl, benzhydryl, tetrahydropyranyl, formyl, acetyl, chloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, ethoxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl and trichloroethoxycarbonyl radicals.
According to the invention, the benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivatives of general formula (I) may also be obtained from the corresponding ester of general formula: ##STR6## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 are defined as above, R is defined as above or represents a protected amino radical, R.sub.3 is defined as above or represents a protected alkylamino radical and Alk represents an unbranched- or branched-chain alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, by any known method for obtaining an acid from an ester without affecting the remainder of the molecule.
The preparation of the acid from the ester is generally performed by saponification in the presence of potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, in an aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic medium, at a temperature of between 20.degree. and 100.degree. C.
In the case where an ester of general formula (IV) for which R is an alkanoylamino or N-alkyl-N-alkanoylamino radical or for which R is a protected amino radical is hydrolysed, it is understood that, depending on the conditions employed, the product obtained is either the acid for which R is an alkanonylamino or N-alkyl-N-alkanoylamino radical or for which R is a protected amino radical, or the acid for which hydrolysis of the amide has been performed simultaneously, i.e. for which R is an amino radical. The working conditions are chosen in accordance with the expected final product. When R is a protected amino radical, it is naturally advantageous to remove the protective radical simultaneously.
When R.sub.3 represents a protected alkylamino radical, the protective radical can be any amino-protective group compatible with the molecule. It is especially advantageous to choose a protective radical which can be removed simultaneously with the hydrolysis of the ester.
The benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivative of general formula (III) may be obtained from the corresponding ester of general formula: ##STR7## in which R.sub.3, R.sub.4, Hal and Alk are defined as above, by application of the method described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,990,515 or by a technique analogous to that described.
The ester derived from benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine of general formula (V) may be prepared by the action of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine (to obtain a product for which R.sub.3 is a hydrogen atom), or by the action of a product of general formula:
R.sub.3 --NH.sub.2 (VI)
in which R.sub.3 is alkyl, fluoroalkyl, carboxyalkyl, cycloalkyl, fluorophenyl, difluorophenyl, alkyloxy or alkylamino, optionally protected, on a quinoline derivative of general formula: ##STR8## in which R.sub.4, Hal and Alk are defined as above, followed by cyclization by the action of an acid-acceptor agent.
In general, the reaction of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazine or of the product of general formula (VI) is carried out in an organic solvent such as an alcohol (e.g. ethanol, methanol) or a chlorinated solvent (e.g. trichloromethane), at a temperature of between 10.degree. and 25.degree. C.
The cyclization is performed in an unbranched- or branched-chain alcohol containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, at a temperature between 20.degree. C. and the refluxing temperature of the reaction mixture.
The acid-acceptor agent can be, in particular, chosen from nitrogenous bases (e.g. triethylamine), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene and an excess of the amine employed.
The benzo[b]naphthyridine derivatives of general formula (III) and (V) for which R.sub.3 is a carboxyalkyl, fluorophenyl or difluorophenyl radical are new products. It is understood that these products as well as their salts, where they exist, also fall within the scope of the present invention.
The quinoline derivative of general formula (VII) may be obtained as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,990,515.
The aminoazetidine derivatives of general formula (II) may be prepared according to the processes described by: T. Okutani et al. Chem. Pharm. Bull., 22 (7) 1490 (1974); S. Chatterjee et al. Chem. Comm., 93 (1968); D. Nisato et al. J. Heterocyclic. Chem., 22, 961 (1985); Akira Morimoto et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull., 21 (1), 228 (1973); A. G. Anderson et al., J. Org. Chem., 37, 3953 (1972); V. R. Gaertner., J. Org. Chem., 2972 (1967), J. N. Wells et al., J. Org. Chem., 34, 1477 (1969), J. Antibiotics, 39 (9), 1243 (1986) and J. Pharm. Soc., 60 (1), 156 (1971); EP 406,112; EP 314,362; EP 106,489; EP 324,298; JP 74/109,369 [C.A.83-9760 (1975)]; U.S. Pat. No. 4,834,846 or by methods analogous to these.
3-Amino-3-phenylazetidine may be obtained by reduction of the corresponding 2-azetidinone, according to the method described in J. Pharm. Sci., 60, 5, (1971). 3-Amino-3-phenyl-2-azetidinone is prepared by a method analogous to that described in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 111, 1073 (1989) followed by liberation of the radical protecting the amine.
The benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivative of general formula (IV) may be obtained from the benzo[b]-naphthyridine of general formula (V) by substitution of an azetidine derivative of general formula (II).
It is advantageous to work under the conditions described above for obtaining a product of general formula (I) from an azetidine of general formula (II) and a benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine of general formula (III). It is understood that, in the option or the reaction is performed in an aqueous medium, the product of general formula (I) may be obtained directly without isolating the intermediate derivative of general formula (IV).
According to the invention, where appropriate, when it is desired to obtain the stereo-isomers of the benzonaphthyridine derivatives of general formula (I), the separation of the stereo-isomeric forms of the azetidines of general formula (II) is performed by any known method which is compatible with the molecule. As an example, the separation is performed by acylation by means of a chiral acid or reactive derivative of a chiral acid, separation of the isomers by high performance liquid chromatography and then deacylation according to the method described by P. G. Gaseman et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 9.8 (5), 1275 (1976). It is also possible to perform the separation of the stereoisomers by chiral-phase high performance liquid chromatography.
The new products according to the present invention, as well as their synthesis intermediates, can be optionally purified by physical methods such as crystallisation or chromatography.
The products according to the present invention, as well as their intermediates of general formula (III) and, where appropriate, their intermediates of general formula (V), may be converted to metal salts or to addition salts with nitrogenous bases according to methods known per se. These salts may be obtained by the action of a metal-containing base (containing, e.g., an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal), ammonia or an amine on a product according to the invention in a suitable solvent such as an alcohol, an ether or water, or by an exchange reaction with a salt of an organic acid. The salt formed precipitates after concentration, where appropriate, of its solution; it is separated by filtration, decantation or lyophilization.
The new products according to the invention may also be converted to addition salts with acids. The products of general formula (I) obtained in the form of these salts may be liberated and converted to salts of other acids according to the customary methods.
As examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, there may be mentioned the salts with alkali metals (sodium, potassium, lithium) or with alkaline earth metals (magnesium, calcium), the ammonium salt, the salts of nitrogenous bases (ethanolamine, diethanolamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, methylamine, propylamine, diisopropylamine, N,N-dimethylethanolamine, benzylamine, dicyclohexylamine, N-benzylphenethylamine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, diphenylenediamine, benzhydrylamine, quinine, choline, arginine, lysine, leucine, dibenzylamine), as well as the addition salts with inorganic acids (hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulphates, nitrates, phosphates) or organic acids (succinates, fumarates, maleates, methanesulphonates, p-toluenesulphonates, isethionates).
The new benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivatives of general formula (I) according to the present invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts exhibit especially advantageous antibacterial properties. They manifest exceptional activity in vitro and in vivo against Gram-positive microorganisms and, generally, against the microorganisms responsible for most infections of the upper and lower airways. Furthermore, the new benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridine derivatives of general formula (I) manifest especially advantageous antibacterial activity against Gram-negative microorganisms.
In vitro, the products of general formula (I) were shown to be active at a concentration of between 0.06 and 4 .mu.g/cc against Staphylococcus aureus IP 8203, and at a concentration of between 0.25 and 20 .mu.g/cc against Escherichia coli strain NIRJ JC2.
In vivo, the products of general formula (I) were shown to be active against experimental Staphylococcus aureus IP 8203 infections of mice at oral doses of between 2 and 200 mg/kg.
Moreover, some of the products according to the invention proved especially advantageous against mycoplasma. Their minimal inhibitory concentration is between 0.03 and 8 .mu.g/ml.
Lastly, the products according to the invention exhibit no toxicity at the doses used. They are generally non-toxic at oral doses of 500 mg/kg in mice.

The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions which can be used in human or veterinary medicine, containing as active product at least one product of general formula (I) in the pure state (in free form or in salt form) or in the form of a combination with one or more compatible and pharmaceutically acceptable diluents or adjuvants. These compositions may be used orally, parenterally or rectally.
As solid compositions for oral administration, tablets, hard gelatin capsules, pills, powders or granules may be used. In these compositions, the active product according to the invention may be mixed with one or more inert diluents or adjuvants such as sucrose, lactose or starch. These compositions can also comprise substances other than diluents, e.g. a lubricant such as magnesium stearate.
As liquid compositions for oral administration, it is possible to use solutions, suspensions, syrups, elixirs and pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, containing inert diluents such as water or liquid paraffin. These compositions can also comprise substances other than diluents, e.g. wetting, sweetening or flavoring products.
The compositions for parenteral administration can be suspensions, emulsions or sterile, aqueous or non-aqueous solutions. As a solvent or vehicle, propylene glycol, a polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, especially olive oil, and injectable organic esters, e.g. ethyl oleate, may be employed. These compositions can also contain adjuvants, especially wetting, emulsifying, dispersing or tonicity agents. The sterilization may be carried out in several ways, e.g. using a bacteriological filter, by incorporating sterilizing agents in the composition, by irradiation or by heating. They may also be prepared in the form of sterile solid compositions which will be dissolved at the time of use in sterile water or any other sterile injectable medium.
The compositions for rectal administration are suppositories or rectal capsules which can contain, apart from the active product, excipients such as cocoa butter or Suppocire.
In human or veterinary therapy, the compositions according to the invention are especially useful in the treatment of infections of bacterial origin.
Generally speaking, the doctor will determine the dosage he considers most suitable in accordance with the age, weight, degree of infection and other factors specific for the subject to be treated. Generally, the doses are between 0.2 and 1 g of active product twice a day, administered orally or parenterally, for an adult.
The example which follows, given without implied limitation, illustrates a composition according to the invention:
EXAMPLE
Tablets containing 250 mg of active product and having the following composition are prepared according to the customary techniques:
8-(3-Amino-1-azetidinyl)-1-cyclopropyl-7-fluoro-1-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydrobenzo-[b][1,8]naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid 250 mg
Starch 50 mg
Lactose 35 mg
Talc 15 mg
The products of general formula (I) are also advantageous in the agrochemical field, for antibacterial treatment of plants and crops. It is understood that the compositions for agrochemical use contain a product of general formula (I) also falling within the scope of the present invention.
Moreover, the products of general formula (I) may also be used as agents for the preservation or disinfection of organic or inorganic substances; in particular, in the dyestuffs, fat, paper, wood or polymer industry or alternatively in the textiles industry, the food industry or water treatment. It is also understood that the compositions containing a product of general formula (I), in the pure state or in the form of a combination with compatible diluents or adjuvants, also fall within the scope of the present invention.
Although the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it is evident that many alternatives and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, the invention is intended to embrace all of the alternatives and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. The above references are hereby incorporated by reference.
