Some of the bicyclic amines of the formula (III) which are required as starting substances are new. They can be prepared by the following processes.
1) N-Propargylurethane can be alkylated with 5- or 2-chloromethylpyrimidine or chloromethylpyrazine in the presence of strong bases. The subsequent intramolecular hetero-Diels-Alder reaction is effected either thermally or proton-catalysed [Tetrahedron 45, 6519 (1989)]. ##STR20##
The intermediates of the N-propargyl-N-pyrazinyl-methylurethanes, or N-propargyl-N-(2-pyrimidinylmethyl)urethanes and N-propargyl-N-(5-pyrimidinylmethyl)urethanes can also be obtained by acylating aminomethylpyrazine, 2-aminomethylpyrimidine or 5-aminomethylpyrimidine with chloroformic esters, followed by alkylation with propargyl halides. ##STR21##
2) The enamines which can be prepared from the known pyrrolidin-3-ones by standard processes can be reacted with 1,2,4-triazine in a hetero-Diels-Alder reaction [Tetrahedron 39, 2869 (1983)]. ##STR22## R=acyl, benzyl
3) Pyrrolidin-3-ones can also be converted into the O-allyl oxime ethers which can be rearranged by heating to give the pyridine derivatives [Synthesis 1979, 221): ##STR23## R=acyl, benzyl
4) Pyrrolidin-3-ones can also be reacted with 3-aminoacrolein to give the pyridine derivatives (Tetrahedron Lett. 1970, 3291). ##STR24## R=acyl, benzyl
5) Amino-substituted dihydropyrrolopyridines can be obtained by reduction of the corresponding nitro compounds, which are accessible via different routes:
a) The enamines of the pyrrolidin-3-ones known from the literature can undergo a hetero-Diels-Alder reaction with 5-nitropyrimidine [Tetrahedron 39, 2869 (1983)]. ##STR25## R=acyl, benzyl
b) The dihydropyrrolopyridines can be converted into the N-oxides and the product can then be nitrated. ##STR26##
The resulting amino compounds can be monoalkylated or dialkylated on the amino group by generally known methods.
6) The corresponding hexahydro derivatives can be prepared by alkylation of the dihydropyrrolopyridines and reduction of the resulting pyridinium salts with sodium borohydride: ##STR27## R=alkyl, X=halogen, sulphonate
7) 2,3-Bis-(chloromethyl)-pyrazine [Synthesis, 676 (1984)] can be reacted with benzylamine or amides to give 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrazine. The benzyl protective group can be dehydrogenated, and the acyl protective groups can be eliminated by acid or basic hydrolysis. ##STR28## R=benzyl, acyl
The following may be mentioned as examples of compounds of the formula (III):
2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine,
5-methyl-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine,
5-ethyl-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine,
5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo-[3,4-c]pyridine,
5-(tert.-butoxycarbonyl)-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine,
2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrazine.
The reaction of (II) with (III), in which the compounds (III) can also be employed in the form of their salts such as, for example, the hydrochlorides, is preferably carried out in a diluent such as dimethyl sulphoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphoric triamide, sulpholane, acetonitrile, water, an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, glycol monomethyl ether or pyridine. Mixtures of these diluents can also be used.
Acid binders which can be used are all customary inorganic and organic acid-binding agents. These preferably include the alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates, organic amines and amidines. The following particularly suitable substances may be mentioned individually: triethylamine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) or excess amine (III).
The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the process is carried out between approx. 20.degree. and 200.degree. C., preferably between 80.degree. and 180.degree. C.
The reaction can be carried out under atmospheric pressure, but also under increased pressure. In general, the reaction is carried out at pressures between approx. 1 and 100 bar, preferably between 1 and 10 bar.
When carrying out the process according to the invention, 1 to 15 moles, preferably 1 to 6 moles, of the compound (III) are employed per mole of the compound (II).
Free amino groups can be protected during the reaction by a suitable amino protective group, for example the tert.-butoxycarbonyl radical, or as an azomethine group, and freed again after the reaction has ended by treatment with a suitable acid such as hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid (see Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods in Organic Chemistry], Volume E4, page 144 (1983); J. F. W. McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry (1973), page 43).
To prepare the esters according to the invention, the carboxylic acid on which they are based are preferably reacted in an excess of alcohol in the presence of strong acids such as sulphuric acid, anhydrous hydrogen chloride, methanesulphonic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid or acid ion exchangers, at temperatures from approx. 20.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably approx. 60.degree. to 120.degree. C. The water of reaction which forms can also be removed by azeotropic distillation with chloroform, tetrachloromethane, benzene or toluene.
Esters are also advantageously prepared by heating the acid on which they are based together with dimethylformamide dialkyl acetate in a solvent such as dimethylformamide.
The 5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxol-4-yl-methyl esters which are used as prodrugs are obtained by reacting an alkali metal salt of the carboxylic acid on which they are based and which can optionally be protected on the N atom by a protective group such as the tert.-butoxycarbonyl radical, with 4-bromomethyl- or 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one in a solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulphoxide or tetramethylurea, at temperatures of approx. 0.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably 0.degree. to 50.degree. C.
The acid addition salts of the compounds according to the invention are prepared in the customary manner, for example by dissolving the betaine in an excess of aqueous acid and precipitating the salt with a water-miscible organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, acetone or acetonitrile. It is also possible to heat equivalent amounts of betaine and acid in water or an alcohol such as glycol monomethyl ether and subsequently evaporate the mixture to dryness, or filter off the precipitated salt by suction. Pharmaceutically usable salts are, for example, the salts of hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, methanesulphonic acid, 4-toluenesulphonic acid, galacturonic acid, gluconic acid, embonic acid, glutamic acid or aspartic acid.
The alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts of the carboxylic acids according to the invention are obtained, for example, by dissolving the betaine in a substoichiometric amount of an aqueous solution of alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, filtration of undissolved betaine and evaporation of the filtrate to dryness. Sodium salts, potassium salts or calcium salts are suitable for pharmaceuticals. The corresponding silver salts are obtained by reacting an alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt with a suitable silver salt such as silver nitrate.

The compounds according to the invention have a powerful antibiotic action and, while having a low toxicity, display a broad antibacterial spectrum against Gram-positive and Gram-negative germs, in particular against enterobacteria; mainly against those which are resistant to various antibiotics such as, for example, penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, sulphonamides and tetracyclins.
These valuable properties allow them to be used in medicine as chemotherapeutic active substances and as preservatives of inorganic and organic materials, in particular a wide range of organic materials, for example polymers, lubricants, colouring substances, fibres, leather, paper and wood, foodstuffs and water.
The compounds according to the invention are active against a very broad range of microorganisms. It is possible, with their aid, to control Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and bacteria-like microorganisms, and to prevent, alleviate and/or cure the diseases caused by these pathogens.
The compounds according to the invention are particularly active against bacteria and bacteria-like microorganisms. They are therefore particularly suitable for the prophylaxis and chemotherapy of local and systemic infections in human and veterinary medicine, caused by these pathogens.
The compounds are furthermore suitable for controlling diseases caused by Protozoa and Helminthes.
The compounds according to the invention can be used in various pharmaceutical preparations. Preferred pharmaceutical preparations which may be mentioned are tablets, coated tablets, capsules, pills, granules, suppositories, solutions, suspensions and emulsions, pastes, ointments, gels, creams, lotions, powders and sprays.
The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICS) were determined on Iso-Sensitest agar (Oxoid) using serial dilution methods. For each test substance a series of agar plates was prepared which contained concentration of the active substance which decreased as the dilution f actor was doubled. The agar plates were inoculated by means of a multipoint inoculator (Denley). The inocula used were overnight cultures of the pathogens which had previously been diluted to such an extent that each inoculation point contained approx. 10.sup.4 colony-forming units. The inoculated agar plates were incubated at 37.degree. C., and the growth of the germs was read off after approx. 20 hours. The MIC value (.mu.g/ml) indicates the lowest concentration of active compound at which no growth could be observed with the naked eye.
The table below lists the MIC values of some of the compounds according to the invention compared with 7-(4-amino-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3 -quinolinecarboxylic acid (EP 343,560, Example 2).
