DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
U.S. Pat. No. 4,520,022, issued May 28, 1985 to Hoshi et al., discloses compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein the 3-propenyl group has the Z-configuration, R.sup.1 is hydrogen, chlorine or methoxy, and R.sup.2 is hydrogen or hydroxy with the proviso that when R.sup.2 is hydrogen, R.sup.1 is also hydrogen. One of the representative compounds disclosed therein is 7-[D-2-amino-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3-[(Z)-1-propen-1-yl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid of the following formula referred to as BMY-28100. ##STR2##
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides the compound of Formula I, named 7-[(D)-2-amino-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3-[(Z)-1-propenyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid, also referred to as BMY-28272. ##STR3## This compound is of interest as an orally effective cephalosporin antibiotic having strong activity against Gram-positive bacteria and an improved spectrum of activity against Gram-negative bacteria and fastidious bacteria relative to cephalexin and cefaclor. It provides prolonged antibiotic concentrations in the bloodstream following oral administration and is suitable for administration to humans on a once- or twice-a-day basis. As such, it is administered in doses ranging from 100 mg to 5000 mg per day, depending upon the size of the patient and the disease condition. It may be administered parenterally in similar dosage amounts. For this purpose, they are administered orally or parenterally in antibacterially effective non-toxic doses as such or in the form of one of its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, pharmaceutically acceptable metal or amine salts, or as a pharmaceutically acceptable ester.
The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are those in which the anion does not contribute significantly to the toxicity of the salt and which salts are compatible with the customary pharmaceutical vehicles and adpated for oral or parenteral administration. They include the salts with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid, with organic carboxylic acids or organic sulfonic acids such as acetic acid, citric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, benzoic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and other acids known and used in the penicillin and cephalosporin arts. Preparation of these salts is carried out by conventional techniques involving reaction of the cephaolsporin I with the acid in a substantially equivalent amount.
Pharmaceutically acceptable metal and amine salts are those salts of the compound I in which the cation does not contribute significantly to the toxicity or biological activity of the salts. Suitable metal salts include the sodium, potassium, barium, zinc, and aluminum salts. The sodium or potassium salt is preferred. Amine salts prepared from amines used, for instance, with benzyl penicillin, which are capable of forming stable salts with the acidic carboxyl group include trialkylamines such as triethylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N-benzyl-.beta.-phenethylamine, 1-ephenamine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, dehydroabietylamine, N-ethylpiperidine, benzylamine, and dicyclohexylamine.
Pharmaceutically acceptable esters include those esters which are active per se or which serve as prodrugs by being hydrolyzed in the body to yield the antibiotic per se. Suitable esters of the latter type are the phenacyl, acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, .alpha.-acetoxyethyl, .alpha.-acetoxybenzyl, .alpha.-pivaloyloxyethyl, 3-phthalidyl, 5-indanyl, methoxymethyl, benzoyloxymethyl, .alpha.-ethylbutyryloxymethyl, propionyloxymethyl, valeryloxymethyl, isobutryloxymethyl, glycyloxymethyl, and others known in the penicillin and cephalosporin arts.
The compound of Formula I may be formulated for oral or parenteral use in a conventional manner using known pharmaceutical carriers and excipients, and it may be presented in unit dose form or in multiple dose containers. The compositions may be in the form of tablets, capsules, solution, suspensions, or emulsions. This compound may also be formulated as suppositories utilizing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other fatty materials. The suppository may contain nonionic surfactants. The compound may, if desired, be administered in combination with other antibiotics including cephalosporins, penicillins, and aminoglycosides.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Table 1 provides the in vitro activity of the cephalosporins BMY-28272, BMY-28100, cephalexin, and cefaclor. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC's) determined by the agar dilution technique for four groups of organisms designated Gp-Ia, Gp-Ib, Gn-Ia, and Gn-Ib are provided. Each of these groups of organisms is constituted of five individual strains of microorganism. The Gp-Ia organisms are Gram-positive staphylococci which are sensitive to penicillin. The Gp-Ib organisms are Gram-positive staphylococci which are resistant to penicillin and produce penicillinase. The Gn-Ia organisms are Gram-negative bacteria which are sensitive to ampicillin and cephalothin. The Gn-Ib organisms are Gram-negative bacteria which are resistant to ampicillin and cephalothin. Against Gp-Ia organisms, BMY-28272 is two or four times more active than cephalexin and cefaclor, and same as BMY-28100. Against Gp-Ib strains, BMY-28272 is slightly less active than BMY-28100, while three times more active than cephalexin or cefaclor. Against Gn-Ia bacteria, both of the hydroxyphenyl derivatives, BMY-28272 and BMY-28100 are more active than cephalexin and slightly better than cefaclor. In the Gn-Ib area, none of these cephalosporins shows useful activity.

The data in Table 2 are results of protective doses (PD.sub.50) for mice infected with a lethal inoculum of bacteria. Two different bacteria were employed in the studies, one a Gram-positive organism (S. aureus Smith) and the other a Gram-negative organism (E. coli Juhl). The PD.sub.50 is that dose which, when administered to a group of injected mice, results in 50% survival after five days. Normally untreated infected mice die within three days following injection of the lethal inoculum. The effectiveness of BMY-28272 in vivo is confirmed.

Table 3 contains comparative blood level data for mice treated orally and intramuscularly with the hydroxyphenylglycyl derivatives. In the test employing a dose of 100 mg/kg orally, BMY-28272 shows a greater AUC value, longer duration of blood levels, but somewhat shorter T1/2 than BMY-28100. In the test employing a dose of 20 mg/kg intramuscularly, BMY-28272 shows a greater AUC value and longer T1/2 than BMY-28100.

Table 4 shows the data of urinary recovery for mice. Although the total recovery ratio of BMY-28272 is smaller than those of BMY-28100 and cefaclor, the elevated value in the period of 6-24 hours suggests that the rate of excretion of BMY-28272 is slower than BMY-28100 and cefaclor.

Table 5 contains comparative data for in vitro antibacterial activity against fastidious bacteria. BMY-28272 shows the activity much better than cefaclor or cephalexin and is almost comparable or better than BMY-28100 against the fastidious bacteria.

The compound of the present invention is prepared by application of the synthesis routes disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,520,022. The most typical preparation procedures are illustrated in Scheme 1.
The amino group of DL-3-hydroxyphenylglycine (1) is protected with t-butoxycarbonyl by using di-tert-butyl dicarbonate to give DL-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-hydroxyphenylglycine (2). In this case, D-3-hydroxyphenylglycine may be used instead of the racemic phenylglycine. The resulting N-protected phenylglycine (2) is coupled with benzhydryl 7-amino-3-[(Z)-1-propenyl]-3-cephem-4carboxylate (3) to afford benzhydryl 7-[DL-2-N-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3-[(Z)-1-propenyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (4). Deblocking and chromatographical separation (reverse phase chromatography) gives the desired 7-[D-2-amino-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3-[(Z)-1-propenyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (I, BMY-28272). Another typical procedure is to apply the Wittig reaction to build the propenyl part at the 3-position of the cephem nucleus after the 7-acylation. The N-protected D-phenylglycine (2) is coupled with benzhydryl 7-amino-3-chloromethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (5) to furnish benzhydryl 7-[D-2-N-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido[-3-chloromethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (6). The compound (6) is treated with NaI and then reacted with triphenylphosphine to give the triphenylphosphonium salt (7). The phosphonium salt is converted to the phosphoranyl intermediate by treating with sodium hydroxide. This phosphoranyl intermediate is then reacted with acetaldehyde to give the desired 3-propenylcephalosporin intermediate (4). ##STR7##
