DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

This invention relates to novel 7-substituted-7-aminocephalosporanic acid and derivatives thereof which are active as antibacterial agents and are valuable intermediates utilized in the preparation of the acylated derivatives. The 7-substituted-7-aminocephalosporanic acids and salts of this invention also possess antibacterial activity which is enhanced by acylation of the 7-amino group. In Formulae I and V the term pharmaceutically acceptable cation means an alkali metal (e.g., sodium and potassium), an alkaline earth metal (e.g., calcium and magnesium), ammonium, or an amine, such as a lower alkyl amine (e.g., methylamine), a di(lower alkyl)amine (e.g., diethylamine), a phenyl-lower alkylamine (e.g., benzylamine), a di(phenyl-lower alkyl)amine (e.g., dibenzylamine), or an alkylenediamine (e.g., N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine), or the like. In the case where Y = pyridinium or quarternary ammonium, R.sup.4 is represented by an anion.

Compounds of Formula I are prepared by reacting a Schiff's base of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid of Formula II: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.9 is phenyl, X-substituted phenyl, lower alkyl or aralkyl (e.g., benzyl or phenethyl), wherein X is halogen (e.g., chloro, bromo), alkoxy, hydroxy, nitro, amine, or lower alkyl; with an electrophilic agent having the Formula III:

r.sup.3 - l iii wherein L is a leaving group such as halogen (e.g., chlorobromo-, and so forth), sulfonate, sulfate, methylsulfonyloxy, p-toluenesulfonyloxy, quarternary amine, etc., and R.sup.3 and Y are as defined herein.

This reaction is conducted in the presence of a base, such as alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide, potassium t-butoxide or sodium methoxide, or other types such as sodium hydride or triphenyl methyl sodium.

Compounds of Formula III that may be utilized in the practice of the invention are perchloryl fluoride, trifluoromethyl bromide, cyanogen chloride, acetyl chloride, benzoyl chloride, ethyl bromo acetate, ethyl chloroformate, phenylsulfenyl chloride, pentafluoroethyl iodide, chlorine, bromine, methyl sulfenyl chloride, methyl thiomesylate, etc. Suitable organic solvents include benzene, dimethoxyethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, dioxane, dimethyl formamide, etc.

It is to be understood that the term lower alkyl and lower alkoxy in the formulae of the instant invention include straight and branched chain radicals of from 1 to about 8 carbons such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, amyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, and the like, Further, it will be appreciated that certain of the compounds of this invention exist in different optically active forms. The various stereoisomeric forms as well as the racemic compounds are within the scope of this invention. The preferred form is that in which 6-amino group (or substituted 6-amino group) is cis to the sulfur atom, thereby resembling the natural cephalosporins.

The term aryl, such as in aryl, aryloxy, arylthio, etc. is intended to include phenyl, .alpha.- and .beta.-naphthyl. In addition, the term aryl is intended to encompass mono and disubstituted-phenyl, or .alpha.- and .beta.-naphthyl groups wherein said substituents are halogen, hydroxy, amino, nitro and alkyl.

The term "heterocyclyl", while intended to encompass the entire class, more specifically is intended to encompass the thiophene, isoxazole, oxadiazole, thiadiazole, pyridine, pyrazene, morpholine, quinoline, isoquinoline, tetrazole, furan, pyrrole and indole. The ring systems may be at various hydrogenated states, such as dihydrofuran and tetrahydrofuran. In addition, the point of linkage may be at any of the possible ring positions and the ring systems may carry additional substituents such as alkyl, alkoxy, amino, nitro, halogen, etc.

Suitable compounds of Formula II include any Schiff's base of 7-ADCA or 7-ACA (or a protected form thereof). When using this process, the preferred Schiff's bases are those formed with aldehydes which do not interfere with the substitution reaction. Thus, although any of the Schiff's bases of 6-APA disclosed in patent application Ser. No. 84,946 can be used correspondingly with 7-ACA or 7-ADCA nuclei, the preferred are those of the formula: RCHO, wherein R is phenyl, p-methoxyphenyl, m-nitrophenyl, halophenyl (e.g., p-chlorophenyl, m-fluorophenyl, and o-bromophenyl), (lower alkoxy) phenyl (e.g., o-methoxyphenyl), carbo(lower alkoxy)phenyl (e.g., p-carbomethoxyphenyl, o-carboethoxyphenyl, p-carbohexyloxyphenyl, and m-carbobutoxyphenyl), o-n-propoxyphenyl, and p-n-hexyloxyphenyl), di(lower alkyl) aminophenyl [e.g., p-dimethylaminophenyl, o-diethylaminophenyl, p-(N-n-butyl-N-methylamine)-phenyl, and m-di-n-pentyl-aminophenyl], naphthyl. The reaction in forming compounds of Formula II is preferably conducted in an inert organic solvent for the Schiff's base reactant, such as methylene chloride, benzene, dimethoxyethane, dioxane and chloroform.

Compounds of the Formula II are used preferably in the form of an ester. Suitable esters include those formed with lower alkanols (e.g., methanol, ethanol and tert.-butanol), cycloalkanols (e.g., cyclohexanol and cyclopentanol), carbocyclic aryl aryl alcohols (e.g., benzyl alcohol, benzhydrol, 1-naphthylmethyl alcohol and 2-phenylethanol), trimethylsilyl, lower alkanoyl (lower alkanols) (e.g., hydroxyacetone and pivaloylmethanol), carbocyclic aroyl (lower alkanols) (e.g., benzoylmethanol, 2-benzoylethanol and 2-naphthylcarbonylmethanol), cycloalkylcarbonyl (lower alkanols) (e.g., hydroxymethylcyclohexylketone), lower alkanoyloxy (lower alkanols) (e.g., pivaloyloxymethanol), and substituted derivatives of any of the above, such as lower alkyl (e.g., methyl and ethyl), lower alkoxy (e.g., methoxy and butoxy), halo (e.g., chloro, fluoro and bromo), and nitro derivatives, as exemplified by 2,2,2-trichloroethanol, 2-bromoethanol, p-nitrophenol, p-methoxyphenol, p-methoxybenzyl alcohol, p,p'-dimethoxybenzhydrol, 2-dimethylamino ethanol, p-nitrobenzoylmethanol and p-methoxybenzoylmethanol.

The reaction of Compound II with Compound III yields a compound of Formula IV: ##STR3## which can then be converted to compounds of Formula I by hydrolysis in the presence of a mild aqueous acid, such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, formic, trifluoroacetic, acetic and p-toluenesulfonic acid to yeild the 7-substituted 7-aminocephalosporanic acid of Formula I.

In the event a 7-aryloxy compound is desired, an intermediate wherein R.sup.3 = halogen such as fluorine, chlorine, or bromine is prepared, followed by mild solvolysis with phenol to produce IV, R.sup.3 = RO--; there may then be hydrolyzed to corresponding compounds of Formula I. Similarly 7-alkoxy compounds can be made. In a similar manner, RZ may be introduced wherein R is lower alkyl, aryl or acyl and Z is oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur.

As stated above compounds of Formula I are valuable intermediates in the formation of acylated compounds having the formula V: ##STR4## wherein Y, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are as defined herein and R is acyl. Acyl in this invention is defined as:

a. R.sup.2 (CH.sub.2).sub.n CO-- where R.sup.2 is phenyl, nitrophenyl, chlorophenyl, bromophenyl, lower alkyl phenyl, lower alkoxy phenyl, cycloalkyl or heterocyclyl, and n is an integer from 0, 1 to 4,

Compounds of general Formula V are prepared from compounds of general Formula I.

The formation of compounds of general Formula V may, for example, be effected by one of the following methods:

a. Reaction of the compound of general Formula I with an acid chloride, or acid anhydride, active ester, acid azide, etc. in aqueous or organic solution.

b. Reaction of the compound of general Formula I with a mixed anhydride of an acid corresponding to the desired acyl group and another acid, the mixed anhydride being formed by reaction of the acid corresponding to the desired acyl group with an alkyl haloformate, if desired formed in situ; the reaction with the mixed anhydride preferably being conducted in solution in an anhydrous, inert solvent in the presence of an acid binding agent e.g., a tertiary amine.

c. Reaction of the compound of Formula I with the activated form of a carboxylic acid formed by reaction with carbonyl-di-imidazole or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or similar activating agent.

Alternatively, compounds of Formula IV may be acylated directly by the procedures of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 71,226, filed Sep. 10, 1970, the yield compounds of Formula V directly where R.sup.4 is hydrogen the procedure can be carried out by known methods.

The compounds of this invention have a broad spectrum of antibiotic activity. They have antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella schottmuelleri, Proteus vulgaria, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pyrogenes. They may be used as antibacterial agents in a prophylactic manner, e.g., in cleaning or disinfecting compositions, or otherwise to combat infections due to organisms such as those named above, and in general may be utilized in a manner similar to cephalothin, cephalexin, cephaloridine and other cephalosporins. For example, a compound of Formula I may be used in various animal species in an amount of about 0.1 to 100 mg/kg daily, orally or parenterally, in single or two to four divided doses to treat infections of bacterial origin. Up to about 600 mg. of a compound of Formula I or V may be incorporated in an oral dosage form such as tablets, capsules, or elixirs or an injectable form in a sterile aqueous vehicle prepared according to conventional pharmaceutical factors. In cleaning or disinfecting compositions, e.g., in farm or diary equipment, a concentration of about 0.01 to 1% by weight of such compounds admixed with, suspended or dissolved in conventional inert dry or aqueous carriers by application by washing or spraying may be utilized.
