2-heteroarylphenyl-carbapenem antibacterial agents

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to antibacterial agents of the carbapenem class, in which the 2-position sidechain is characterized by a heteroarylphenyl moiety, substituted by various substituents, as described in more detail below.
Thienamycin was an early carbapenem antibacterial agent having a broad spectrum; it has the following formula: ##STR2## Later, N-formimidoyl thienamycin was discovered; it has the formula: ##STR3##
The 2-heteroarylphenyl-carbapenems of the present invention are not characterized by a broad antibacterial spectrum such as that of thienamycin or N-formimidoyl thienamycin. Rather, their spectrum of activity is largely limited to gram positive microorganisms, especially methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), methicillin resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE), and methicillin resistant coagulase negative Staphylococci (MRCNS). The antibacterial compounds of the present invention thus comprise an important contribution to therapy of these difficult to control pathogens. Moreover, there is an increasing need for agents effective against such pathogens (MRSA/MRCNS) which are at the same time safe, i.e., free from undersirable toxic side effects. No .beta.-lactam antibacterial has yet been found which meets these requirements. And, the current agent of choice, vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibacterial, is experiencing an ever increasing amount of resistance in the MRSA/MRCNS pathogens.
More recently, carbapenem antibacterial agents have been described which have a 2-substituent which is an aryl moiety optionally substituted by, e.g., aminomethyl and substituted aminomethyl. These agents are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,543,257 and 4,260,627 and have the formula: ##STR4##
However, there is no description or suggestion of a heteroarylphenyl 2-substituent such as characterizes the compounds of the present invention, nor is there any suggestion of the surprisingly better anti-MRSA/MRCNS activity of the compounds of the present invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,978,659 describes a particular class of compounds of the formula: ##STR5## but this limited teaching in no way suggest the totally different compounds of the present invention, nor their surprisingly better anti-MRSA/MRCNS activity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The manufacture of compounds of Formula I may be carried out in a three-stage synthetic scheme followed by deprotection. The objective of the first synthetic stage is to produce a base heteroarylphenyl (hereinafter HAP) compound which may be converted to be the two-position substituent of the carbapenem of Formula I. The objective of the second synthetic stage is to attach the base HAP to the carbapenem. Finally, the objective of the third synthetic stage is to substitute the HAP with the desired R.sup.a. This third synthetic stage may either be performed after the first synthetic stage or after the second synthetic stage according to the nature of the desired R.sup.a.
Flow Sheet A demonstrates a suggested first stage synthesis. Flow Sheets B1 and B2 demonstrate a second stage synthesis. The third stage synthesis varies according to the selected R.sup.a. ##STR10##
Flow Sheet A
Substituted bromophenylboronic acids A1 and substituted heteroaryldiethylboranes A5 may be prepared by conventional methods. Exposure of either of these boron compounds to aryl halides in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium catalyst yields the desired synthons A3.
Some of these desired synthons A3 may be prepared by the general synthetic routes published in the literature.
Flow Sheet B1
The second stage synthesis is to attach the base HAP to the 2-position of the carbapenem. With compatible R.sup.a or suitable precursor substituents therefor, HAP A3 may be added to azetidin-2-one B1 in a Grignard reaction as shown in Flow Sheet B. (B1 is subgeneric to the more general B1*. Replacing B1 by B1* (where M is as defined above under ii) produces a broader class of compounds analogous to B2, B3, and B4).
The Grignard reaction requires that A3 be converted to a Grignard reagent by reaction with magnesium and 1,2-dibromoethane in THF from 20.degree. C. to 60.degree. C. and subsequently contacting A3 as a Grignard reagent with B1 in THF at from -70.degree. C. to about 20.degree. C. to produce azetidin-2-one B2. Alternatively, A3 may be reacted with t-butyllithium, n-butyllithium, or the like in Et.sub.2 O or THF at from -78.degree. to -50.degree. C. followed by the addition of magnesium bromide to produce the same Grignard reagent. R.sup.i of B1 is in practice pyridin-2-yl but may clearly be a variety of substituents including aromatic and heteroaromatic substituents. Further, R.sup.i might be, for example, phenyl, pyrimidinyl or thiazolyl.
Azetidin-2-one B2 is an intermediate that may be ring closed to a carbapenem. It is on this intermediate that R.sup.a or precursor substituent such as t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-methyl group should be modified where such modification is incompatible with the carbapenem nucleus. For example, a convenient reaction to remove the t-butyldimethylsilyl group from a hydroxymethyl substituent of the HAP on compound B2 is to expose compound B2 to a dilute solution of sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid in methanol at 0.degree. C. If the t-butyldimethylsilyl group were removed from carbapenem B3 under the same conditions, a substantial portion of carbapenem would be degraded and lost. Thus, modification of the precursor substituent in this instance and replacement with another precursor substituent or even R.sup.a is best performed before closing the carbapenem. Of course it is possible to remove the t-butyldimethylsilyl group from carbapenem B3 in reduced yield by exposing B3 to tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride and acetic acid in THF.
Compound B2 may be ring closed to carbapenem B3 by refluxing in xylene with p-hydroquinone for about 1 to 2 hours. It is on this intermediate that final elaboration of R.sup.a from a precursor substituent, e.g. hydroxymethyl, may be accomplished. Removal of the protecting groups then provides the final compound Formula I. Such final elaboration and deprotection is described in further detail below. ##STR11##
Flow Sheet B2
Flow Sheet B2 shows an alternative second stage synthesis, i.e. attachment of the base HAP such as B5 to the 2-position of the carbapenem. This synthesis involves a palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between a carbapenem triflate and a suitably substituted arylstannane, a process which is described in U.S. Ser. No. 650,111 filed Feb. 4, 1991. In order to apply this synthesis, it is first necessary to modify B5 to the trimethylstannylheteroarylphenyl B6. This is accomplished by reacting B5 with t-butyllithium in THF at from -78.degree. to -50.degree. C. followed by the addition of trimethyltin chloride. Alternatively, B6 may be prepared by simply heating B5 with hexamethylditin in the presence of tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium in toluene solution. At this intermediate stage, it may be desirable to remove certain protecting groups if employed on a precursor substituent R.sup.a. For instance, a protecting group such as t-butyldimethylsilylsilyl on a hydroxymethyl substituent may be removed by exposure to tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in THF yielding a particular B6. If the t-butyldimethylsilyl group were removed from carbapenem B7 under the same conditions, a substantial portion of the carbapenem would be degraded and lost. Thus, modification of the precursor substituent in this instance and replacement with another precursor substituent or even an R.sup.a is best performed before attachment to the carbapenem.
The steps for preparing the 2-oxocarbapenam intermediate B8 are well known in the art and are explained in ample detail by D. G. Melillo et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 21, 2783 (1980), T. Salzmann et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 102, 6161 (1980), and L. M. Fuentes, I. Shinkai, and T. N. Salzmann, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 108, 4675 (1986). The syntheses are also disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,269,772; 4,350,631; 4,383,946; and 4,414,155 all incorporated herein by reference.
Referring again to Flow Sheet B2, the 2-oxocarbapenam, B8, is reacted at -78.degree. C. to -50.degree. C. with a suitable trifluoromethanesulfonyl source, such as trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, trifluoromethanesulfonyl chloride and the like, in the presence of an organic nitrogen base, such as triethylamine, diisopropylamine and the like, in a polar aprotic solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran or methylene chloride. Optionally, an organic nitrogen base, such as triethylamine and the like, is then added to the reaction solution followed immediately by a silylating agent, such as trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate to provide intermediate B9. An aprotic polar coordinating solvent, such as DMF, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and the like, is optionally added. This is followed by the addition of a palladium compound, such as tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium-chloroform (Pd.sub.2 (DBA).sub.3.CHCl.sub.3), palladium acetate and the like, optionally, a suitably substituted phenylphosphine, such as tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphine, tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphine and the like, and the stannane B6. A halide source such as lithium chloride, zinc chloride or ammonium chloride and the like, is added and the reaction solution is allowed to warm and is stirred at a suitable temperature, such as 0.degree. to 50.degree. C. for from a few minutes to 48 hours. The carbapenem B7 is obtained by conventional isolation/purification methodology known in the art.
Generally speaking, the milder conditions of the synthesis shown in Flow Sheet B2 allow for a wider range of functional group R.sup.a to be present than the synthesis illustrated in Flow Sheet B1. However, in certain cases, it is advantageous for the R.sup.a substituent(s) of the stannane B6 to be introduced in a protected or precursory form. Final elaboration of R.sup.a from a precursor substituent, e.g. hydroxymethyl, may be accomplished on carbapenem intermediate B7. Removal of hydroxyl and ester protecting groups then provides the final compound, C5 of Formula I. Such final elaboration and deprotection is described in detail below. ##STR12##
Flow Sheet C
Azetidin-2-ones B1 and B1* (Flow Sheet B1), pyridyl-thioesters, are well known compounds in the production of carbapenems. Diverse synthetic schemes useful to make B1 and B1* may be imagined by the skilled artisan. Particularly useful to the instant inventors is a synthetic scheme set out further in Flow Sheet C below in which the symbol R is as defined above. The steps for preparing intermediate B1 and B1* are analogous to the procedures described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,260,627 and 4,543,257; L. D. Cama et al. Tetrahedron 39, 2531 (1983); R. N. Guthikonda et al. J. Med. Chem., 30, 871 (1987) hereby incorporated by reference, as discussed below. ##STR13##
The general synthesis description depicted above in the Flow Sheets shows a protected 1-hydroxyethyl substitution on the 6-position of the carbapenem. After final deprotection, a 1-hydroxyethyl substituent is obtained, which is preferred in most cases. However, it has been found that with certain 2-side-chain selections, the ultimate balance of favorable properties in the overall molecule may be enhanced by selection of the 6-(1-fluoroethyl) moiety instead. Preparation of 6-fluoroalkyl compounds within the scope of the present invention is carried out in a straightforward manner using techniques well known in the art of preparing carbapenem antibacterial compounds. See, e.g., J. G. deVries et al., Heterocycles, 23(8), 1915 (1985); BE 900 718 A (Sandoz) and Japanese Patent Pub. No. 6-0163-882-A (Sanruku Ocean).
In the compounds of the present invention, the R.sup.a substituents can be selected based on the biological properties which they confer. In related compounds, it has been found that the neutral or anionic substituted compounds afford greater water solubility and reduced potential for CNS side effects. Substituents which tend to confer improved water solubility on the overall compound have been found useful, since they are contemplated to thereby improve the transport of the compound involved. Although a substantial number and range of substituents have been described herein, all of these are contemplated to be a part of the present invention based on the biological performance of substituents related in terms of their medicinal chemistry. ##STR14## is a 5-, 8-, or 9-membered mono- or bicyclic aromatic ring system wherein up to two carbon atoms are replaced by O or S. HAR can be represented by ##STR15## (where Ax is phenylene or a bivalent 5-membered aromatic ring wherein one carbon atom is replaced by O or S).
Thus, this aryl structure may be the radical of a 5-membered furan or thiophene, of an 8-membered furofuran, thienofuran, or thienothiophene, or of a 9-membered benzofuran or benzothiophene. The carbon atom at the point of attachment, however, cannot be replaced by a heteroatom.
The R.sup.a substituents are on the carbon atoms of the aryl ring system but not on the one at the point of attachment. It is preferred that R.sup.a =H when it is .alpha. to the point of attachment.
In preferred compounds of Formula I, R.sup.1 is hydrogen. More preferably, R.sup.1 is hydrogen and R.sup.2 is (R)--CH.sub.3 CH(OH)-- or (R)--CH.sub.3 CH(F)--. In the most preferred case, R.sup.1 is H and R.sup.2 is (R)--CH.sub.3 CH(OH). While R.dbd.H is usually preferred, there are instances in which R.dbd.CH.sub.3 may provide improved chemical stability, water solubility, or pharmacokinetic behavior. The substituent R.dbd.CH.sub.3 may be of either configuration, i.e., the .alpha. or .beta.-stereoisomer. Additionally, in preferred compounds, at least one R.sup.a in the meta-position of the HAP moiety from the point of attachment to the other aromatic ring is other than hydrogen. In the most preferred compounds, in total, up to two R.sup.a substituents are other than hydrogen.
Among preferred R.sup.a substituents are C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl mono-substituted with hydroxy, such as, hydroxymethyl; formyl; carbamoyl, such as, --CONH.sub.2 ; hydroxyiminomethyl, such as, --CH.dbd.NOH; cyano; or halogen such as chloro, bromo, and iodo.
Flow Sheet D
In regard to this preferred substitution, the hydroxymethyl group may be obtained in the R.sup.a position of the phenyl portion of HAP as shown in Flow Sheet D, in which A3 is obtained as given in Flow Sheet A. Selective metallation of A3 and formylation with N,N-dimethylformamide provides synthon D1. Reduction of D1 with sodium borohydride in methanol yields the preferred substituent which is protected as its silylether in the next step to give D3. The latter reagent is then incorporated into Flow Sheet B1 as A3. The preferred hydroxymethyl group may also be obtained in the appropriate R.sup.a positions of the heteroaryl portion of HAP. Thus, by a judicious choice of starting materials as exhibited in Flow Sheet A, the desired substitution pattern is readily available. ##STR16##
The preferred formyl substitution on the HAP moiety may be obtained from the hydroxymethyl substitution of B3 or isomeric B3* described in Flow Sheet B1 by a Swern oxidation. For example, isomeric B3 is oxidized in methylene chloride at from -70.degree. C. to room temperature employing oxalyl chloride-dimethyl sulfoxide as the active agent. Obviously, the position of the resultant formyl substitution will depend upon the position of the hydroxymethyl substitution in isomeric B3.
The preferred --CH.dbd.NOH substitution on the HAP moiety may be conveniently obtained from the formyl substitution just described. This is accomplished simply by exposing the formyl substituted compound to hydroxylamine in an appropriate solvent at room temperature.
The preferred cyano substitution on the HAP moiety may be obtained from the --CH.dbd.NOH substitution just described. The --CH.dbd.NOH substituted compound is dehydrated with triflic anhydride and triethylamine in a solvent at -70.degree. C.
The preferred carbamoyl substitution, --CONH.sub.2, may be obtained from B2 or "isomeric" B2 by oxidizing hydroxymethyl with Jones reagent to the corresponding carboxylic acid substitution as described above. This carboxylic acid is converted to --CONH.sub.2 by sequentially contacting with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride, 1-hydroxy-benzotriazole, and ammonia in an organic solvent at room temperature. Substituted amides may of course be obtained by replacing ammonia with the corresponding substituted amine. In contrast to the carboxylic acid substitution, this carbamoyl substituent requires no protection from the conditions of carbapenem cyclization. Deprotection following cyclization is carried out with palladium catalyzed deallylation in a solution containing potassium or sodium 2-ethyl-hexanoate as described in McCombie and Jeffrey, J. Org. Chem., 47, 2505 (1983). Deprotection in such a solution yields the desired potassium or sodium salt.
In the preparation methods described above, the carboxyl group at the 3-position and the hydroxyl group at the 8-position of the carbapenem remain blocked by protecting groups until the final product is prepared. Suitable hydroxyl protecting groups, P', are silyl groups such as trialkylsilyl, aryl(alkyl)alkoxysilyl, alkoxydiarylsilyl and diarylalkylsilyl and carbonate groups such as alkyloxycarbonyl, substituted alkyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, substituted benzyloxycarbonyl, allyloxycarbonyl and substituted allyloxycarbonyl. The preferred protecting groups, in addition to or including those shown in the schemes, are t-butylmethoxyphenylsilyl, t-butoxydiphenylsilyl, trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, o-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butyloxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyloxycarbonyl and allyloxycarbonyl. Suitable carboxyl protecting groups, M, in addition to or including those shown in the schemes are described herein below.
Deblocking may be carried out in a conventional manner, with care being taken to avoid a procedure which is so harsh as to disrupt other portions of the final product molecule. For compounds prepared according to Flow Sheet B1, deprotection may be carried out in a palladium catalyzed reaction in a solution containing potassium 2-ethylhexanoate and 2-ethylhexanoic acid or, alternatively, another suitable nucleophile such as pyrrolidine. Alternatively, for those prepared via Flow Sheet B2, deprotection is conducted sequentially. Thus, compound B7 is exposed initially to aqueous acidic conditions, acetic acid or dilute HCl or the like, in an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at 0.degree. C. to ambient temperature for from a few minutes to several hours. The resulting desilylated carbapenem may be isolated by conventional techniques, but is more conveniently taken into the final deprotection process. Thus, addition of an inorganic base such as NaHCO.sub.3 or KHCO.sub.3 and a catalyst, such as, 10% Pd/C or 5% Rh/Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 followed by hydrogenation provides for the removal of the p-nitrobenzyl protecting group and the formation of the final compound of Formula I.
With reference to the above definitions, "alkyl" means a straight or branched chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radical.
The term "heteroatom" means N, S, or O, selected on an independent basis.
The term "heteroaryl" has been defined herein, in relation to the R.sup.x group, to have a specific and limited meaning, being only monocyclic. It is required that the monocyclic heteroaryl have at least one nitrogen atom, and optionally at most only one additional oxygen or sulfur heteroatom may be present. Heteroaryls of this type are pyrrole and pyridine (1N); and oxazole, thiazole or oxazine (1N+1 O or 1 S). While additional nitrogen atoms may be present together with the first nitrogen and oxygen or sulfur, giving, e.g., a thiadiazole (2N's+1S), the preferred heterozryls are those where only nitrogen heteroatoms are present when there is more than one. Typical of these are pyrazole, imidazole, pyrimidine and pyrazine (2N's) and triazine (3N's).
The heteroaryl group of R.sup.x is always optionally mono-substituted by R.sup.q, defined above, and substitution can be on one of the carbon atoms or one of the heteroatoms, although in the latter case certain substitutent choices may not be appropriate.
Listed in Table I are specific compounds of the instant invention. In the table, R.sup.2 substituents containing a chiral center (i.e., --CH(F)CH.sub.3 and --CH(OH)CH.sub.3) have the (R) configuration, and the R.sup.a column refers to the substituent on the phenyl ring.

The carbapenem compounds of the present invention are useful per se and in their pharmaceutically acceptable salt and ester forms in the treatment of bacterial infections in animal and human subjects. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable ester or salt" refers to those salt and ester forms of the compounds of the present invention which would be apparent to the pharmaceutical chemist, i.e., those which are non-toxic and which would favorably affect the pharmacokinetic properties of said compounds, their palatability, absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. Other factors, more practical in nature, which are also important in the selection, are cost of the raw materials, ease of crystallization, yield, stability, hygroscopicity, and flowability of the resulting bulk drug. Conveniently, pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared from the active ingredients in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Thus, the present invention is also concerned with pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating bacterial infections utilizing as an active ingredient the novel carbapenem compounds of the present invention.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts referred to above may take the form --COOM. The M may be an alkali metal cation such as sodium or potassium. Other pharmaceutically acceptable cations for M may be calcium, magnesium, zinc, ammonium, or alkylammonium cations such as tetramethylammonium, tetrabutylammonium, choline, triethylhydroammonium, meglumine, triethanolhydroammonium, etc.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts referred to above may also include non-toxic acid addition salts. Thus, the Formula I compounds can be used in the form of salts derived from inorganic or organic acids. Included among such salts are the following: acetate, adipate, alginate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, citrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalene-sulfonate, nicotinate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, thiocyanate, tosylate, and undecanoate.
The pharmaceutical acceptable esters of the novel carbapenem compounds of the present invention are such as would be readily apparent to a medicinal chemist, and include, for example, those described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,309,438, Column 9, line 61 to Column 12, line 51, which is incorporated herein by reference. Included within such pharmaceutically acceptable esters are those which are hydrolyzed under physiological conditions, such as pivaloyloxymethyl, acetoxymethyl, phthalidyl, indanyl and methoxymethyl, and those described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,479,947, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The novel carbapenem compounds of the present invention may take the form COOM, where M is a readily removable carboxyl protecting group. Such conventional blocking groups consist of known ester groups which are used to protectively block the carboxyl group during the synthesis procedures described above. These conventional blocking groups are readily removable, i.e., they can be removed, if desired, by procedures which will not cause cleavage or other disruption of the remaining portions of the molecule. Such procedures include chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis, treatment with chemical reducing or oxidizing agents under mild conditions, treatment with a transition metal catalyst and a nucleophile, and catalytic hydrogenation. Broadly, such ester protecting groups include alkyl, substituted alkyl, benzyl, substituted benzyl, aryl, substituted aryl, allyl, substituted allyl and triorganosilyl. Examples of specific such ester protecting groups include benzhydryl, p-nitrobenzyl, 2-naphthylmethyl, allyl, 2-chloroallyl, benzyl, t-butyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl, trimethylsilyl, 2-(trimethyl)silylethyl, phenacyl, p-methoxybenzyl, acetonyl, o-nitrobenzyl and 4-pyridylmethyl.
The compounds of the present invention are valuable antibacterial agents active against various Gram-positive and to a lesser extent Gram-negative bacteria and accordingly find utility in human and veterinary medicine. The antibacterials of the invention are not limited to utility as medicaments; they may be used in all manner of industry, for example: additives to animal feed, preservation of food, disinfectants, and in other industrial systems where control of bacterial growth is desired. For example, they may be employed in aqueous compositions in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 parts of antibiotic per million parts of solution in order to destroy or inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria on medical and dental equipment and as bactericides in industrial applications, for example in waterbased paints and in the white water of paper mills to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
The compounds of this invention may be used in any of a variety of pharmaceutical preparations. They may be employed in capsule, powder form, in liquid solution, or in suspension. They may be administered by a variety of means; those of principal interest include: topically or parenterally by injection (intravenously or intramuscularly).
Compositions for injection, a preferred route of delivery, may be prepared in unit dosage form in ampules, or in multidose containers. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for reconstitution, at the time of delivery, with a suitable vehicle, such as sterile water. Topical applications may be formulated in hydrophobic or hydrophilic bases as ointments, creams, lotions, paints, or powders.
The dosage to be administered depends to a large extent upon the condition and size of the subject being treated as well as the route and frequency of administration, the parenteral route by injection being preferred for generalized infections. Such matters, however, are left to the routine discretion of the therapist according to principles of treatment well known in the antibacterial art. Another factor influencing the precise dosage regimen, apart from the nature of the infection and peculiar identity of the individual being treated, is the molecular weight of the chosen species of this invention.
The compositions for human delivery per unit dosage, whether liquid or solid, may contain from 0.1% to 99% of active material, the preferred range being from about 10-60%. The composition will generally contain from about 15 mg to about 1500 mg of the active ingredient; however, in general, it is preferable to employ a dosage amount in the range of from about 250 mg to 1000 mg. In parenteral administration, the unit dosage is usually the pure compound I in sterile water solution or in the form of a soluble powder intended for solution.
The preferred method of administration of the Formula I antibacterial compounds is parenteral by i.v. infusion, i.v. bolus, or i.m. injection.
For adults, 5-50 mg of Formula I antibacterial compounds per kg of body weight given 2, 3, or 4 times per day is preferred. Preferred dosage is 250 mg to 1000 mg of the Formula I antibacterial given two (b.i.d.) three (t.i.d.) or four (q.i.d.) times per day. More specifically, for mild infections a dose of 250 mg t.i.d. or q.i.d. is recommended. For moderate infections against highly susceptible gram positive organisms a dose of 500 mg t.i.d. or q.i.d. is recommended. For severe, life-threatening infections against organisms at the upper limits of sensitivity to the antibiotic, a dose of 1000 mg t.i.d. or q.i.d. is recommended.
For children, a dose of 5-25 mg/kg of body weight given 2, 3, or 4 times per day is preferred; a dose of 10 mg/kg t.i.d. or q.i.d. is usually recommended.
Antibacterial compounds of Formula I are of the broad class known as carbapenems or 1-carbadethiapenems. Naturally occuring carbapenems are susceptible to attack by a renal enzyme known as dehydropeptidase (DHP). This attack or degradation may reduce the efficacy of the carbapenem antibacterial agent. The compounds of the present invention, on the other hand, are significantly less subject to such attack, and therefore may not require the use of a DHP inhibitor. However, such use is optional and contemplated to be part of the present invention. Inhibitors of DHP and their use with carbapenem antibacterial agents are disclosed in the prior art [see European Patent Applications No. 79102616.4 filed Jul. 24, 1979 (Patent No. 0 007 614); and No. 82107174.3, filed Aug. 9, 1982 (Publication No. 0 072 014)].
The compounds of the present invention may, where DHP inhibition is desired or necessary, be combined or used with the appropriate DHP inhibitor as described in the aforesaid patents and published application. Thus, to the extent that the cited European patent applications 1.) define the procedure for determining DHP susceptibility of the present carbapenems and 2.) disclose suitable inhibitors, combination compositions and methods of treatment, they are incorporated herein by reference. A preferred weight ratio of Formula I compound: DHP inhibitor in the combination compositions is about 1:1. A preferred DHP inhibitor is 7-(L-2-amino-2-carboxyethylthio)-2-(2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide)-2-heptenoic acid or a useful salt thereof.
The invention is further defined by reference to the following examples, which are intended to be illustrative and not limiting.
All temperatures are in degrees Celsius.
STARTING MATERIAL SYNTHESES ##STR223##
3-BROMOPHENYLBORONIC ACID
N-Butyllithium (2.5M; 44 mL; 0.11M) was added dropwise over 15 mins. to a vigorously stirred solution of m-dibromobenzene (25 g; 0.106M) in 500 mL of anhydrous ether at -78.degree. under nitrogen. After stirring 10 mins. more, a solution of triisopropylborate (25.3 mL; 0.11M) in anhydrous ether (200 mL) was added over 20 mins. The cooling bath was then removed, and the stirring solution was allowed to warm to R.T. over .about.2 hrs. A small amount of solid separated. After stirring 15 mins. more at R.T., 150 mL of ice cold 8% aqueous hydrochloric acid was cautiously added, and the stirring was continued for 15 mins. The organic phase was separated, washed with 2.times.100 mL of saturated sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Solvent removal gave .about.30 G of crude product as a semi-solid, which was shaken well with 150 mL of hexane. The solid was filtered and washed with 2.times.25 mL of hexane. The resulting silky solid (mp 178.degree.-9.degree. C. after softening at .about. 160.degree. C.) (6.5 g) was used as 3-bromophenylboronic acid with a small amount of contamination. The hexane filtrate was concentrated and the residue was stirred well with 150 mL of petroleum ether (30.degree.-60.degree.). The resulting solid was filtered and washed with 2.times.25 mL of petroleum ether. This resulting solid (4.4 g) melting at 178.3.degree.-179.degree. C. was the desired 3-bromophenylboronic acid.
NMR: 7.38-7.46; 7.70-7.80; 8.1-8.18; 8.31 (aromatic H's) ##STR224##
2-(3'-BROMOPHENYL)THIOPHENE
To stirred solution of m-bromoaniline (34.4 g; 0.2M) in thiophene (200 mL) was added isoamylnitrite (46.86 g; 0.4M) dropwise over a period of 30 mins. at 0.degree. C. The resulting mixture was cautiously warmed to R.T. and heated to reflux for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with 400 mL of ether, washed with 3.times.100 mL of satd. sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Solvent and excess thiophene were removed. A solution of the residue in 200 mL of ether was filtered through 50 G silica gel bed. Solvent was removed, and the residue was distilled to give 34% of 2-(3'-bromophenyl)thiophene as a yellow liquid boiling at 130.degree.-2.degree./.about.0.2 mm. This liquid solidified on standing in the refrigerator.
NMR: 7.06-7.78 ##STR225##
2-(4'-BROMOPHENYL)THIOPHENE
Similarly, 2-(4'bromophenyl)thiophene was prepared from 4-bromo aniline in 29% yield as a yellow oil boiling at 146.degree.-8.degree./.about.0.5 mm.
NMR: (C.sub.6 D.sub.6): 6.68-6.92 (thiophene H's) 7.03-7.20 (p-phenyl H's).
2-PHENYLTHIOPHENE
The above method was used to prepare 2-phenylthiophene from aniline in 11% yield as colorless liquid boiling at 110.degree.-113.degree./.about.3 mm. ##STR226##
3-(3'-BROMOPHENYL)THIOPHENE
The thiophene was prepared according to G. Martelli et al., J. Chem. Soc (B)., 901, (1968). ##STR227##
2-(3',5'-DIBROMOPHENYL)THIOPHENE
3,5-dibromoaniline, upon similar treatment, gave 2-(3',5'-dibromophenyl)thiophene in 55% yield as a yellow oil, which solidified as a glassy solid.
NMR: 7.04-7.68 (aromatic H's) ##STR228##
2-FORMYL-5-(3'-BROMOPHENYL)THIOPHENE
Phosphorus oxychloride (1.15 mL; 15.4 mM) was added slowly to stirring dimethylformamide (0.95 mL; 12.2 mM) at -10.degree. under nitrogen.

STEP A: GENERAL SYNTHESIS OF ARYLKETONES ##STR241##
METHOD 1
Aryl bromide (1 mM) was added to a stirred suspension of magnesium chips (1.25 mM) in 2 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran under nitrogen at R.T. 8 .mu.L of 1,2-dibromoethane was then added. The resulting mixture was stirred 3 hours, when most of the metal was digested. The resulting dark yellow solution was used as 0.5M solution of the aryl Grignard reagent.
This Grignard reagent solution was added dropwise to a stirred solution of (3S, 4R)-1-[[(allyloxy)carbonyl](triphenylphosphoranylidene)methyl]-3-[(1R)-1-[(allyloxy)carbonyloxy]ethyl]-4-[[2'-pyridylthio)carbonyl]methyl]azetidin-2-one, (.about.0.5 mM) in 2 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran at 0.degree. under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred 15 mins at 0.degree.. Satd ammonium chloride solution (5 mL) and 10 mL of ethyl acetate were added. The organic layer was separated, and washed with 2.times.5 mL of satd sodium chloride solution and dried over anhyd. magnesium sulfate. Solvent removal followed by silica gel chromatography using mixtures (1:1 to 2:1) of ethyl acetate:hexane as eluant gave the desired ylid arylketone as a pale yellow foam.
METHOD 2 ##STR242##
To a stirred solution of 3 mM aryl bromide in anhydrous ether (12 mL) at -78.degree. under nitrogen was added n-butyllithium (2.5 molar solution; 1.32 mL; 3.3 mM) dropwise. The resulting mixture was stirred 0.5 hr. A solution of magnesium bromide, freshly prepared by stirring 6.6 mM of magnesium turnings in 24 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran with 6 mM of 1,2-dibromoethane for about 1 hr under nitrogen at ambient temperature, was then added dropwise to the above stirring lithium salt at -78.degree.. The resulting mixture was stirred 15 mins at -78.degree., and 30 mins at 0.degree.. The thus obtained turbid solution was used as a 0.0833 molar solution of the required aryl magnesium bromide.
This solution of the Grignard reagent was added slowly to a stirred solution of 1.4 mM of (3S, 4R)-1-[[allyloxy)carbonyl](triphenylphosphoranylidene)methyl]-3-[(1R)-1-[(allyloxy)carbonyloxy]ethyl]-2-[[(2'-pyridylthio)carbonyl]methyl]azetidin-2-one, in 5 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran at 0.degree. under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred 15 mins. at 0.degree., and satd. ammonium chloride (15 mL) and 30 mL of ethyl acetate were added. The organic layer was separated, washed with 2.times.15 mL of sat'd. sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Solvent removal and purification on silica gel using a (1:1 to 2:1) mixture of ethyl acetate:hexane gave the desired aryl ketone, as a light yellow foam.
STEP B: GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR CYCLIZATION ##STR243##
A solution of the ylid ketone (0.25 mM) in 2 mL of p-xylene containing a tiny crystal of hydroquinone was heated 45 mins. to 3 hours (depending on the nature of R) at 130.degree. C. under nitrogen. The solution was cooled, applied in a suitable solvent to a silica gel column packed with hexane and then eluted first with hexane and then with 4:1 to 2:3 mixtures of hexane:ethyl acetate to give the desired carbapenem analogs.
STEP C: GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR DEALLYLATION ##STR244##
To a stirred solution of the carbapenem (0.2 mM) in 3 mL of a 1:1 mixture of methylene chloride:ether in a centrifuge tube at 0.degree. under nitrogen were added 2-ethylhexanoic acid (0.2 mM), triphenylphosphine (0.05 mM), tetrakis-(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.04 mM), and 0.2 mM of sodium or potassium 2-ethylhexanoate. This mixture was stirred 2 hrs when a solid precipitated out. After diluting with 10 mL of ether, the mixture was centrifuged and the supernatant liquid was decanted. The remaining solid was stirred with 2 mL of ethyl acetate and centrifuged. The resulting solid was dissolved in 1 mL of water and applied to a 1000.mu. reverse phase silica gel plate. Elution with mixtures of acetonitrile:water or EtOH:water gave an ultraviolet active area, which was scraped and stirred with 5 mL of 4:1 acetonitrile:water mixture. The solid was filtered and washed with 3.times.2 mL of a 4:1 acetonitrile:water mixture. The filtrate was washed with 4.times.10 mL of hexane, concentrated to 1 mL in vacuo at R.T. and lyophilized to give the sodium or potassium salt of the carbapenem as a white to creamy, fluffy mass.

After cooling to ambient temperature, the desilylated reaction mixture was briefly stirred with NaHCO.sub.3 (31 mg, 0.37 mmol). The reaction mixture was covered with N.sub.2, 10% Pd/C (13 mg) was added, and the reaction mixture was placed under a H.sub.2 -filled balloon and stirred for 1 hr at ambient temperature. After filtering through a pad of celite and washing the pad well with additional water, the yellow filtrate clouded and solids precipitated. Upon transfer of this filtrate to centrifuge tubes and extraction with EtOAc, phase separation was still difficult due to emulsions. The aqueous layer was separated and lyophilized at 0.degree. to provide 60 mg yellow lyophilizate. The 60 mg was treated with 12% MeCN/H.sub.2 O (1.5 ml), stirred well, and then centrifuged, after which the yellow aqueous layer was purified by preparative TLC on 3-1000.mu. RPS-F plates (eluting with 12% MeCN/H.sub.2 O in the cold and extracting the main UV active band with 4:1 MeCN/H.sub.2 O 60 ml). The usual work-up of the plates and lyophilization provided the purified title compound (19 mg, 28%).

Deblock ##STR275##
A solution of the carbapenem (77 mg, 0.13 mmol) was deblocked as was the analogous hydroxymethyl carbapenem in Example 27, except that an increased amount of catalyst, 10% Pd/C (22 mg) was used. After 30 min under a balloon filled with H.sub.2, another 22 mg of 10% Pd/C was introduced, and the hydrogenolysis was continued for 30 min more. The solution was transferred to a centrifuge test tube, and most of the catalyst was centrifuged to the bottom. The supernatant was placed in a flask, and the catalyst was washed 4.times. with H.sub.2 O (5 ml) filtering into the original flask through a pad of celite. The clear filtrate was concentrated to a small volume with little or no heat in vacuo and then lyophilized at 0.degree. to give the crude product (69 mg). The crude material was applied in 1.2 ml H.sub.2 O to 2-1000.mu. RPS-F plates eluting with 30% CH.sub.3 CN/H.sub.2 O in the cold to give upon the usual work-up and lyophilization a sample of the title compound (23 mg) which contained an impurity by 300 MHz .sup.1 H-NMR. Further purification on 2-1000.mu. RPS-F plates eluting with 15% CH.sub.3 CN/H.sub.2 O provided separation of the desired product from a forward running impurity, suspected to be the analogous carbapenam resulting from double bond reduction.

To the still partially heterogeneous reaction mixture NaBH.sub.4 (73 mg, 1.9 mmol) was added. After 1 hour at 0.degree. during which time a homogeneous solution had resulted, the solution was concentrated under a N.sub.2 stream. Partitioning between brine (20 ml)/Et.sub.2 O (20 ml)/and EA (10 ml), the phases were separated, and the aqueous layer again extracted with EA. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO.sub.4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product. Preparative TLC on 4-1000.mu. Si Gel GF plates (applied in warm acetone, eluted and extracted with 10% MeOH/CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) provided the purified diol (161 mg, 71% yield).

The diol (161 mg, 0.54 mmol) was treated as the monohydroxymethyl compound had been treated in Example 27, using hexamethylditin (200 .mu.l, 0.9 mmol). After 1 hour at reflux, the reaction appeared by analytical TLC to have progressed only very slightly. An additional 19 mg of tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium was added, and refluxing was continued for 1 hour. More catalyst (26 mg) was added, and after another hour at reflux the conversion was fairly complete. Work-up as in Example 27 provided the crude product (303 mg). Extensive preparative TLC chromatography eluting with 10% MeOH/CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, isolating, then eluting with 50% EA/hexane, isolating, and then eluting with 5% MeOH/CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 finally provided the purified trimethyltin compound (92 mg, 45% yield)

A solution of the .beta.-ketoester (75 mg, 0.22 mmol) was treated as indicated in Example 27, Stannane Coupling, using a solution of diol (90 mg, 0.24 mmol) to provide upon work-up the crude carbapenem (104 mg). Since the crude material appeared to be partially desilylating on Si Gel, it was immediately treated with THF (5.5 ml), EtOH (5.5 ml), H.sub.2 O (4.2 ml), HOAc (4.2 .mu.l) with stirring under N.sub.2 at 35.degree. for 1 hour to give the more polar, desilylated carbapenem. The reaction mixture was concentrated a bit under N.sub.2 and then stirred well with 1M K.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 (1 ml), H.sub.2 O and EA. After phase separation, the organic layer was extracted with a combination of 1M K.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 (1 ml)/H.sub.2 O/brine. The organic layer was dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and concentrated in vacuo. Preparative TLC (applied and eluted in 8% MeOH/CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and extracted with 10% MeOH/CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2) provided the purified desilylated carbapenem (68 mg, 64% yield) ready for hydrogenolysis.
