6'-thiomethylsubstituted spectinomycins

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Spectinomycin is a known antibiotic and was first prepared by a microbiological process, see U.S. Pat. No. 3,234,092. Since that time spectinomycin has been synthesized chemically, see J. Am Chem. Soc. 101, 19 (1979) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,351,771.
6'-Methylspectinomycin analogs and intermediates useful in production of 6'-methylspectinomycin are known, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,380,651 and 4,380,652.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,465,848 discloses a process for demethylation of spectinomycin and its analogs and realkylation of the intermediates. U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336 discloses 6'-alkylspectinomycins and intermediates useful in preparation thereof.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,351,771 claims 6'-alkenylspectinomycins.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Disclosed is a pharmacologically useful 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (XII).
Further disclosed are protected spectinomycins (XIII) and 6'-thiomethyl-substituted (XIV) intermediates.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The two biologically active spectinomycin end products, 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (IX) and 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (XII) are both produced from a novel common intermediate, 6'-methylidene substituted spectinomycin (VI). The 6'-methylidene substituted spectinomycin (VI) is produced from spectinomycin following the general procedure of U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336. The amino protecting groups of U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336 can not be readily removed without interference from the 6'-thio substituent whereas the amino protecting groups used in the present invention can be removed without interference from the 6'-thio substituent.
The spectinomycin starting materials are well known those skilled in the art, see The Merck Index, Tenth Edition, 1983, Monograph 8584. First, the free amine groups of the spectinomycin must be protected with certain amine protecting groups which are removable in the presence of C-6'-unsaturation or thioether substitution. Suitable amine blocking groups include those of R.sub.1, and equivalents thereof as is well known to those skilled in the art, see Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis by T. W. Greene, Wiley, 1981. It is preferred that R.sub.1 be t-butoxy-carbonyl (t-BOC). The preparation of amine protected spectinomycin (I) from spectinomycin where R.sub.1 is t-BOC is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,465,848.
The amine protected spectinomycin (I) is converted to the corresponding hydroxy/amine protected spectinomycin (II) by methods well known to those skilled in the art, see Greene, supra, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336. The amine protected spectinomycin (I) is reacted with formic acid in the presence of a carboxylic acid anhydride and a base in a suitable solvent such as THF or ethyl acetate. It is preferred that the base is pyridine.
The hydroxy/amine protected spectinomycin (II) is then further acylated under more vigorous conditions such as heating, increased time of reaction, etc and using a catalyst such as dimethylamino pyridine to produce the corresponding acylated spectinomycin (III) by methods well known to those skilled in the art, see Greene, supra, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336. It is preferred that the acylating agent be an anhydride and it is preferred that the anhydride be acetic anhydride. It is preferred that R.sub.3 be a methyl group.
The acylated spectinomycin (III) is converted to the corresponding .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketone (IV) by methods well known to those skilled in the art, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336.
The .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated ketone (IV) is converted to the corresponding enamine (V) by methods well known to those skilled in the art, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336. It is preferred that R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are methyl groups.
The enamine (V) is converted to the corresponding 6'-methylidene substituted spectinomycin (VI) by methods well known to those skilled in the art, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336.
The 6'-methylidene substituted spectinomycin (VI) intermediate can be converted to either the 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (IX) by reaction with the appropriate Grignard reagent and subsequent deblocking or it can be converted to the 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (XII) by reaction with the appropriate thiol and subsequent deblocking.
The 6'-methylidene substituted spectinomycin (VI) is converted to the corresponding hydroxy/amine protected 6'-alkenyl-4',5'-didehydrospectinomycin (VII) by methods well known to those skilled in the art, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336. In the side chain of the hyroxy/amine protected 6'-alkenyl-4',5'-didehydrospectinomycin (VII) a is 0 thru 4; preferably a is 0. When a is 0 the side chain is --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --C(R.sub.8).dbd.C(Rg)(R.sub.10). It is preferred that R.sub.8, R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 are --H. The triprotected-6'-alkenyl-4',5'-didehydrospectinomycin (VII) is converted to the corresponding amine protected 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (VIII) by reducing and deprotecting conditions well known to those skilled in the art, see Greene, supra, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,366.
The amine protected 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (VIII) is converted to the corresponding 6' -alkenylspectinomycin (IX) by methods well known to those skilled in the art, see Greene, supra.
With the hydroxy/amine protected 6'-alkenyl-4',5'-didehydrospectinomycin (VII), amine protected 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (VIII) and 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (IX) the side chain can give either cis or trans configuration and both are meant to be included by the formulas (VII, VIII and IX).
The 6'-methylidene substituted spectinomycin (VI) is converted to the corresponding hydroxy/amine protected 6' -thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (X) by methods well known to those skilled in the art. The addition or mercaptans to activated olefins is well known, see R. B. Wagner and H. D. Zook, Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Wiley, p. 788. Further discussion of the Michael addition is found in Modern Synthetic Reaction by H. O. House, W. A. Benjamin, 1972, beginning on p 595.
The triprotected 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (X) is converted to the corresponding amine protected 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (XI) by methods well known to those skilled in the art, see Greene, supra, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336.
The amine protected 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (XI) is converted to the corresponding 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (XII) by methods well known to those skilled in the art, see Greene, supra, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,532,336. It is preferred that R.sub.11 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl.
With the amine protected 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (VIII), 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (IX), 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (XI) and 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (XII), the side chain is in the ".alpha." position. For the compounds of formulas (XII and XIV), when the is a single bond the side chain is in the .alpha. configuration.
The 6'-alkenylspectinomycins (IX) and 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycins (XII) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful antibacterial agents and are generally used in the same manner and same way as other spectinomycin pharmaceutical agents are used, see for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,234,092 (spectinomycin), 4,532,336 (6'-alkylspectinomycin).
The 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (IX) and 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycins (XII) are used in a dosage range of about 1 to about 200 mg/kg/day, preferably from about 20 to about 60 mg/kg/day, more preferably administered from 1 thru 4 tims a day, preferably one or twice a day, more preferably once a day. Treatment may last 1-14 days, preferably 1 or 2 days.
The exact dosage and frequency of administration depends on the particular condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the age, weight, general physical condition of the patient and other medication the individual may be taking as is well known to those skilled in the art and can be more accurately determined by measuring the concentration of the 6'-alkenylspectinomycin (IX) or 6'-thiomethyl-substituted spectinomycin (XII) in the patient's blood.

To this is added 2-propanol (7 ml), water (0.1 ml) and triethylamine (0.1 ml). The mixture is stirred for 2.5 hours and concentrated to a solid. The solid is chromatographed on silica gel (10 g) and eluted with 0% methanol/chloroform (100 ml), 1% (200 ml), 2.5% (200 ml) and 5% (100 ml). The appropriate fractions are pooled and concentrated to give the title compound, CMR (CD.sub.3 COCD.sub.3) 190.0, 159.0, 100.5, 95.0, 82.7, 82.2, 78.0, 77.2, 73.3, 69.0, 63.0, 46.8, 38.4, 33.0, 31.5, 11.1, 3.0 .delta.; MS (with KI, theoretical for C.sub.26 H.sub.44 N.sub.2 O.sub.11 SK is 6.31.2303); measured 631.2347.
EXAMPLE 11
6'-[(Thiomethyl)methyl]spectinomycin dihydrochloride (XII)
A solution of N,N'-di-t-BOC-6'-[(thiomethyl)methyl]spectinomycin (XI, Example 10, 0.10 g) in methylene chloride (15 ml) at 0.degree. is saturated with hydrogen chloride gas. After 15 minutes the solution is concentrated and the residue is dissolved in water (25 ml), frozen, and lyophilized to give the title compound, CMR (D.sub.2 O); 94.0, 92.3, 71.9, 70.1, 66.3, 66.0, 62.0, 60.0, 59.0, 39.8, 33.8, 31.1, 30.6, 29.2, 14.6 .delta.; MS (theoretical for C.sub.16 H.sub.29 N.sub.2 O.sub.7 S is 393.1695); measured 393.1677. ##STR1##
