Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to antibacterial agents of the cephalosporin class in which the six membered ting of the cephalosporin nucleus is substituted with an aryl or heteroaryl group at position three.
Cephoxitin was an early cephalosporin antibacterial agent having a broad spectrum; it has the following formula: ##STR3##
The cephalosporins of the present invention have activity against gram positive and gram negative microorganisms, and are believed to be useful against 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 for 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 relatively free from undesirable side effects. And, the current agent of choice, vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibacterial, is experiencing an ever increasing amount of resistance in the MRSA/MRCNS pathogens.

The term "anionic function" refers to the members of the group: phosphono [P.dbd.O(OM.sup.a).sub.2 ]; alkylphosphono {P.dbd.O(OM.sup.a)--[O(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl)]}; alkylphosphinyl [P.dbd.O(OM.sup.a)--(C.sub.1 -C4alkyl)]; phosphoramido [P.dbd.O(OM.sup.a)N(R.sup.y)R.sup.z and P.dbd.O(OM.sup.a)NHR.sup.x ]; sulfino (SO.sub.2 M.sup.a); sulfo (SO.sub.3 M.sup.a); acylsulfonamides selected from: SO.sub.2 NM.sup.a CON(R.sup.y)R.sup.z ; and SO.sub.2 NM.sup.a CN, where R.sup.x is phenyl or heteroaryl.
Variables R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently represent H or lower alkyl.
One of the R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 groups represents H, W or an uncharged or a positively charged nitrogen containing group (a) through (d) as described above. The other R variable represents an uncharged specie selected from. H and W.
The values of (a) through (d) shown above are in charged or uncharged form. The particular nitrogen containing group is drawn as having three points of attachment, such as by attachment to the A moiety, ting bonds, and R.sup.d group or groups. In many instances, the nitrogen containing group is charged, such as when (c) is present and the nitrogen atom is substituted with R.sup.10, R.sup.11 and R.sup.12. It is understood that when the moiety is positively charged, four points of attachment for the nitrogen exist, and the plus charge is present on the nitrogen atom.
When one of the R variables represents group (a), the spacer moiety --A-- forms an alkylene chain, optionally containing a heteroatom or functional group, represented by --Q--. The length of A ranges from a methylene group to an alkyl chain of 12 carbon atoms in length, optionally also containing --Q-- noted above. The --A-- moiety bonds to the nitrogen containing ring through the N shown, and to the phenyl ring shown.
The heterocyclic group to which --A-- bonds may be a heteroaryl group, a partially aromatic heterocycle or a non-aromatic heterocycle, with a substituent R.sup.d optionally bonded to the ting nitrogen. Hence, the heterocycle may be unsaturated or saturated. When the heterocycle is aromatic, the ring nitrogen is positively charged by virtue of the attachment to --A--, the ring bonds and Rd.
The heterocyclic group may also optionally contain up to three additional nitrogen atoms and up to one oxygen or sulfur atom. The heterocycle can also be substituted with up to three R.sup.c groups at any available points of attachment, either via carbon or nitrogen atoms.
When one of R 1 and R.sup.2 represents group (b), the spacer moiety is optional; where present, --A'-- represents an alkylene group, optionally interrupted with a heteroatom, Q. The ring structure is bonded to --A'-- through an atom other than a ring nitrogen. The heterocycle is unsaturated and can be aromatic, partially aromatic or non-aromatic. The ring nitrogen is optionally substituted with one or two groups R.sup.d, as desired. When the ting is aromatic and one R.sup.d is present on the ring nitrogen, the nitrogen is positively charged. When the ring is non-aromatic and there are two R.sup.d groups present, the nitrogen is positively charged. Hence, the nitrogen may have up to two R.sup.d groups present thereon, depending on the particular configuration desired.
Also, as described above with respect to the heterocycle in (a), up to three R.sup.c groups may be substituted onto the ring, at any available point of attachment.
When any of the variables and substituent groups are shown with bonds attached, e.g., --A--, --R.sup.c, etc., this is to serve as a point of reference for application to the generic structure, and does not indicate that double or triple bonds are intended, unless such bonds are drawn.
When one of the R variables represents group (c), the spacer moiety --A-- represents an optional alkylene group, which in turn is optionally interrupted with Q, which may be a heteroatom, substituted amine, sulfonamide and the like, as described above with respect to group (a). The nitrogen bound to the --A-- spacer moiety is tertiary or quaternary by virtue of the R.sup.10, R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 groups present thereon and --A-- attached thereto. These R groups may independently represent H, alkyl or substituted alkyl groups.
Alternatively, R.sup.10, R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 may be taken in combination to represent a C.sub.4 to C.sub.10 alkanetriyl group, bonded to the nitrogen. Thus, the nitrogen is quaternary.
When one of the R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 variables represents group (d), --A'-- is as defined above for group (b). The spacer moiety is optional and when present, is attached to the heterocyclic moiety through an atom in the ring other than the nitrogen atom which is shown.
The nitrogen containing ting is saturated, and may be unsubstituted or substituted. The nitrogen may be quaternary with one or two R.sup.d groups as desired, or it may be tertiary.
One of the R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 variables represents H, W or a group selected from (a) through (d) and the other represents H or one of the values of W. The 3 R.sup.1 groups are defined independently, with three R.sup.1 groups drawn attached to the multi ring Ar moiety. This means that when only 1 R.sup.1 represents one of the values (a)-(d) or W, the values of the other R.sup.1 groups is hydrogen. It should therefore be apparent that the three R.sup.1 groups can be the same or different from each other. All three can be H, W or one of the groups (a)-(d). Similarly, all three could represent one of (a)-(d), three different (a)-(d) groups, or two of the R.sup.1 values can represent the same (a)-(d) group, and the third R.sup.1 could represent a different (a)-(d) group.
When one of the R 1 groups represents (a)-(d), the value of R.sup.2 is H or W. Likewise, when R.sup.2 represents one of (a)-(d), the R.sup.1 groups all represent H or W. Again, this means that all three R.sup.1 groups can be H or W, or one R.sup.1 can represent H or W, and the remainder of the R.sup.1 groups represent the other of H and W.
Some R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 substituents may be distinguishable from others chemically or with respect to the biological properties which they confer. In related compounds, it has been found that the 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 improve the pharmacokinetics of the compound involved. Although a substantial number and range of R substituents has been described herein, all of these are contemplated to be a part of the present invention in connection with the genus of formula I.
When a group is termed "substituted", unless otherwise indicated, this means that the group contains from 1 to 3 substituents R.sup.q thereon. With respect to alkyl groups, the substituents thereon are selected from the variables specified. Preferred substituent groups include C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.2-6 alkenyl, C.sub.2-6 alkynyl, hydroxy, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, aryl, heteroaryl, aralkyl, halo, cyano, nitro, carboxyl and the anionic function groups, as these terms are defined above.
When a functional group is termed "protected", this means that the group is in modified form to preclude undesired side reactions at the protected site. Suitable protecting groups for the compounds of the present invention will be recognized from the present application taking into account the level of skill in the art, and with reference to standard textbooks, such as McOmie, J. (ed) Protecting Groups in Organic Chemistry pp. 46-119 (1973).
The preferred compounds of the invention include compounds where the R variable represents H, halo, alkylthio, alkylsulfonyl or cyano.
A preferred subgenus of compounds of formula I is shown below as formula Ia. ##STR16## with M representing hydrogen, a negative charge or a metal cation; R.sup.1 representing one of groups (a)-(d), and X representing --CH.sub.2 --, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 -- or --C(O)--, and R.sup.14 is equal to H or C.sub.1-4 alkyl.

The most preferred compounds of the invention include the following:
Compounds where one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 is selected from: ##STR23##
The preferred values of R.sup.13 are H--, NH.sub.2, CH.sub.3 NH-- and (CH.sub.3).sub.2 N--.
The preferred values of Y are CH and N.
The preferred value of Y" is N(OR.sup.14), most preferably in the Z configuration. R.sup.14 preferably is H, CH.sub.3 t-butyl or cyclopentyl.
The preferred value of Ar is the following: ##STR24## with R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 as described above. The preferred value of X is O, S, C(O) or absent, in which case a biphenyl group is present.
It will be recognized that the compounds of the invention can be uncharged, positively charged, negatively charged or zwitterionic, and thus electrically neutral. All such forms are included in the invention. The preferred compounds are positively charged by virtue of a positively charged nitrogen atom in group (a)-(d), and a negatively charged carboxylate group (M represents a negative charge), and a basic nitrogen in the thiazolyl ring at C-7. It is typical that when the molecule is charged, one or more counterions are present. This is the case when M represents a counterion, and is also the case when the carboxyl group is protected or in the form of a biolabile ester, and one of the groups (a) through (d) is present in positively charged form. In this case, a negatively charged counterion is present and associated with the cationic nitrogen containing group. All such forms are included in the invention described herein.
The compounds of the invention can be synthesized in accordance with the following general schemes and examples. ##STR25##
The manufacture of compounds of Formula I may be carried out as shown on flow sheet A and B. Flow sheet A shows the general synthesis of compounds which do not carry a quatemarized nitrogen bearing moiety on the aromatic substituent Ar. Flow sheet B shows the conversion of a suitably functionalized Ar substituent into a quatemarized nitrogen bearing substituent followed by removal of the protecting groups to give the desired compounds of the invention.
The starting material for the synthesis is the readily available 3-hydroxycephem 1(M=p-methoxy benzyl or benzhydryl). Reaction of 1 with a suitable trifluormethane sulfonyl source, such as trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride, trifluoromethanesulfonic chloride or the like, in the presence of an organic nitrogen base, such as triethylamine, diisopropyl amine and the like in an aprotic solvent such as methylene chloride or tetrahydrofuran gives the trifluoromethylsulfonate at the 3-position, as a stable isolable solid 2. Reaction of 2 with a suitable aromatic stannane 3, in a polar aprotic coordinating solvent such as DMF or N-methylpyrrolidone and the like, in the presence of a palladium compound such as tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium-chloroform, palladium acetate and the like, and a phosphine such as triphenyl phosphine, tris(4-methoxyphenyl)-phosphine, tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphine and the like and in the optional presence of a metal or quaternary ammonium halide such as lithium chloride, zinc chloride or trimethyl ammonium hydrochloride, at room temperature (range 0.degree. to 50.degree. C.) for 10 min to 2 hours, gives the coupling product 4.
The phenylacetyl side chain at the 7-position is removed by procedures well known in the art, such as reaction with phosphorous pentachloride in the presence of a base such as pyridine at -20.degree. to -10.degree. C. for 1 hour, followed by reaction of the intermediate with methanol at -15.degree. to -10.degree. C. for 1.5 hours, followed by treatment with a phosphate buffer at pH 2 for 0.5 hour at room temperature, to give the product 5.
The free amino group at position 7 is reacylated with the desired, suitably protected acid moiety in which the carboxylic acid is activated as the acid chloride or mixed anhydride. Alternatively a coupling agent such as a carbodiimide may be used to carry out the acylation. Such acylations are well known in the art. The desired compound 6 is thus obtained.
The carboxylic acid protecting group M is then removed by treatment with a strong organic acid such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), in the presence of a carbonium ion acceptor such as anisole .to give the free acid which is converted to the sodium salt by treatment with sodium carbonate to give 7. The procedure also results in the concomitant removal of other acid labile protecting groups in the molecule.
In the instance when the aromatic substituent at the 3-position is further substituted with a quaternary nitrogen substituent, one starts with a suitable substitution R.sup.1 such as a hydroxymethyl on the aromatic stannane 3 to give compound 8, via procedures previously described. The R.sup.1 substituent is converted into a leaving group by converting it to a trifluoromethane sulfonate or methanesulfonate or iodo group to give 9. Displacement of the leaving group with the nitrogen atom of a heterocyclic ring or a tertiary amine gives the quaternary nitrogen compound 10. The protecting groups are removed as described before to give the desired cephalosporin 11.
The cephalosporin 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, salt or hydrate," refers to those salts, esters and hydrated forms of the compounds of the present invention which would be apparent to the pharmaceutical chemist. i.e., those which are substantially non-toxic and which may 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 compounds.
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-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, oxalare, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, thiocyanate, tosylate, and undecanoate.
The pharmaceutically acceptable esters 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. Included within such pharmaceutically acceptable esters are those which are hydrolyzed under physiological conditions, such as pivaloyloxymethyl, acetoxymethyl, phthalidyl, indanyl and methoxymethyl, and others described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,479,947. The esters which are hydrolizable under physiological conditions are also referred to as "biolabile esters". Many biolabile esters have oral activity, protecting the drug from excessive acid degradation upon oral administration.
Some of the groups which M represents form biolabile esters with the carboxylate to which M is attached. Biolabile esters are biologically hydrolizable, and many are suitable for oral administration, due to good absorption through the stomach or intenstinal mucosa, resistance to gastric acid degradation and other factors. Examples of biolabile esters include compounds in which M represents an alkoxyalkyl, cycloalkoxyalkyl, alkenyloxyalkyl, aryloxyalkyl, alkoxyaryl, alkylthioalkyl, cycloalkylthioalkyl, alkenylthioalkyl, arylthioalkyl or alkylthioaryl group. All of these groups can be substituted in the alkyl or aryl portions thereof with acyl or halo groups. The following species are preferred as biolabile ester forming moieties.: acetoxymethyl, 1-acetoxyethyl, 1-acetoxypropyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, 1-isopropyloxycarbonyloxyethyl, 1-cyclohexyloxycarbonyloxyethyl, phthalidyl and (2-oxo-5-methyl-l,3-dioxolen-4-yl)methyl.
Some of the novel compounds of the present invention take the form COOM, where M is a readily removable carboxyl protecting group. Such conventional groups consist of known groups which are used to protectively block the carboxyl group during the synthesis procedures described therein. 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. Examples of such ester protecting groups include benzhydryl, p-nitrobenzyl, 2-naphthylmethyl, allyl, benzyl, trichloroethyl, silyl such as trimethylsilyl or trimethylsilylethyl, phenacyl, p-methoxybenzyl, acetonyl, o-nitrobenzyl, p-methoxyphenyl, 4-pyridylmethyl and t-butyl.
The compounds of the present invention are valuable antibacterial agents active against various Gram-positive and 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 compositions in concentrations ranging from about 0.01 to about 100 pans 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 water based paints and in the white water of paper mills to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
Many of compounds of the present invention are biologically active against MRSA/MRCNS. This can be demonstrated using the following biological activity protocol.
In vitro antibacterial activity determined in accordance with the protocol set forth below is predictive of in vivo activity, when the compounds are administered to a mammal infected with a susceptible bacterial organism.
Minimum inhibitory concentrations for different compounds may be calculated using the procedures set forth in Lorian, V. (ed.) Antibiotics in Laboratory Medicine (3rd ed.) pages 30-35 if desired. However, by comparing disc sensitivities to a known compound, e.g., imipenem, this calculation is not required to recognize MRSA/MRCNS activity.
Assay Used to Test the Activities of Compounds Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci: The assay is an antibiotic disc-diffusion assay modeled after the method described-by Bauer and Kirby, et al.1, with the following modifications and clarifications:
Agar: This assay employs an agar depth of 2 mm instead of 4 mm.
Zone Readings: The inner, completely clear zone is measured.
Culture Storage: Frozen vials of strains are stored at -80.degree. C. Working slants are prepared from frozen vials and are used for 1 month to 6 weeks. For methicillin-resistant strains the slant medium is Muleller Hinton Agar; for control strains the slant medium is Brain Heart Infusion Agar. After inoculation from frozen vials, methicillin-resistant slant cultures are incubated at 28.degree. C. until good growth is achieved (approximately 20 hours); slants of control strains are incubated at 37.degree. C. for 16-18 hours.
Preparation of Control Inocula for Assay: Pipet 2 ml Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHIB) into a sterile, plastic 17.times.100 mm tube. Use a sterile cotton tipped applicator to pick up a very small amount of culture from the slant and twirl it in the BHIB to achieve a light but visible inoculum (approximately 1.times.106-107 cuf/ml). Incubate at 37.degree. C. and 220 rpm for 17-18 hours.
Preparation of Methicillin-Resistant Inocula for Assay: For methicillin-resistant strains, inoculate 0.5 ml of BHIB heavily (to achieve appromaitely 1.times.108-109 cfu/ml) from the slant culture by using a sterile cotton tipped applicator. With the applicator spread approximately 0.1 ml of the suspension onto the surface of a 15.times.100 mm petri plate containing 10 ml Mueller Hinton Agar. Incubate the plate at 30.degree. C. for approximately 18 hours.
Inoculum Adjustment: The 17-18 hour control Staphylococci cultures are diluted 100 .times. in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococci: With a cotton tipped applicator, swab enough growth off the grown plates into 1 ml BHIB to achieve a visual concentration of approximately 1.times.109 cfu/ml. Mix vigorously and dilute in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) so that dilutions appear visually to be slightly more concentrated than the 100.times.diluted control cultures. Measure % transmission (% T) at 660 nm in a Spectronic 20 or other spectrophotometer. Add measured quantities of PBS to dilutions to achieve % T@1% above or below the % T measurement for the control cultures. Make sterile dilutions using the same proportions.
Plate Incubation Following Plate Inoculation and Disc Placement: Incubate control plates for 18 hours at 37.degree. C. Incubate methicillin-resistant Staphylococci plates for 18 hours at 30.degree. C.
The compounds of this invention may be used in a variety of pharmaceutical preparations. They may be employed in powder or crystalline form, in liquid solution, or in suspension. They may be administered by a variety of means; those of principal interest include: topically, orally and 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 injectable compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulating agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder (lyophillized or non-lyophillized) 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.
Oral compositions may take such forms as tablets, capsules, oral suspensions and oral solutions. The oral composions may utilize conventional formulating- agents, and may include sustained release properties as well as rapid delivery forms.
The dosage to be administered depends to a large extent upon the condition and size of the subject being treated, the route and frequency of administration, the sensitivity of the pathogen to the particular compound selected, the virulence of the infection and other factors. Such matters, however, are left to the routine discretion of the physician according to principles of treatment well known in the antibacterial arts. 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 compound.
The compositions for human delivery per unit dosage, whether liquid or solid, may contain from about 0.01% to as high as about 99% of active material, the preferred range being from about 10-60%. The composition will generally contain from about 15 mg to about 2.5 g 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 will typically include the pure compound in sterile water solution or in the form of a soluble powder intended for solution, which can be adjusted to neutral pH and isotonic.
The preferred methods of administration of the Formula I antibacterial compounds include oral and parenteral, e.g., i.v. infusion, i.v. bolus and i.m. injection.
For adults, about 5-50 mg of Formula I antibacterial compound per kg of body weight given one to four times daily is preferred. The preferred dosage is 250 mg to 1000 mg of the antibacterial given one to four times per day. More specifically, for mild infections a dose of about 250 mg two or three times daily is recommended. For moderate infections against highly susceptible gram positive organisms a dose of about 500 mg three or four is recommended. For severe, life-threatening infections against organisms at the upper limits of sensitivity to the antibiotic, a dose of about 1000-2000 mg three to four times daily may be recommended.
For children, a dose of about 5-25 mg/kg of body weight given 2, 3, or 4 times per day is preferred; a dose of 10 mg/kg is typically recommended.
The invention is further described in the following non-limiting examples.
