Antimicrobial quinolonyl lactams

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to novel antimicrobial compounds and compositions. The compounds of this invention contain, as integral substituents, a quinolone moiety and a lactam-containing moiety.
The chemical and medical literature describes a myriad of compounds that are said to be antimicrobial, i.e., capable of destroying or suppressing the growth or reproduction of microorganisms, such as bacteria. In particular, antibacterials include a large variety of naturally-occurring (antibiotic), synthetic, or semi-synthetic compounds. They may be classified (for example) as the aminoglycosides, ansamacrolides, beta-lactams (including penicillins and cephalosporins), lincosaminides, macrolides, nitrofurans, nucleosides, oligosaccharides, peptides and polypeptides, phenazines, polyenes, polyethers, quinolones, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides. Such antibacterials and other antimicrobials are described in Antibiotics, Chemotherapeutics, and Antibacterial Agents for Disease Control (M. Grayson, editor, 1982), and E. Gale et al., The Molecular Basis of Antibiotic Action 2d edition (1981), both incorporated by reference herein.
The mechanism of action of these antibacterials vary. However, each can be generally classified as functioning in one or more of four ways: by inhibiting cell wall synthesis or repair; by altering cell wall permeability; by inhibiting protein synthesis; or by inhibiting synthesis of nucleic acids. For example, beta-lactam antibacterials act through inhibiting the essential penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) in bacteria, which are responsible for cell wall synthesis. On the other hand, quinolones act by inhibiting synthesis of bacterial DNA, thus preventing the bacteria from replicating.
Not surprisingly, the pharmacological characteristics of antibacterials and other antimicrobials, and their suitability for any given clinical use, also vary considerably. For example, the classes of antimicrobials (and members within a class) may vary in their relative efficacy against different types of microorganisms, and their susceptibility to development of microbial resistance. These antimicrobials may also differ in their pharmacological characteristics, such as their bioavailability, and biodistribution. Accordingly, selection of an appropriate antibacterial (or other antimicrobial) in any given clinical situation can be a complicated analysis of many factors, including the type of organism involved, the desired method of administration, and the location of the infection to be treated.
The development of microbial resistance is one factor in the selection of an appropriate antimicrobial (particularly antibacterials), which is of increasing concern in medical science. This "resistance" can be defined as existence of organisms, within a population of a given microbial species, that are less susceptible to the action of a given antimicrobial agent. Such resistant strains may subvert the mechanism of action of a particular antimicrobial, or chemically degrade the antimicrobial before it can act. For example, bacterial resistance to beta-lactam antibacterials has arisen through development of bacterial strains that produce beta-lactamase enzymes, which degrade the antibacterial.
In part as a result of the intense use of antibacterials over extended periods of time, many highly resistant strains of bacteria have evolved. This is of particular concern in environments such as hospitals and nursing homes, which are characterized by relatively high rates of infection and intense use of antibacterials. See, e.g., W. Sanders, Jr. et al., "Inductible Beta-lactamases: Clinical and Epidemiologic Implications for Use of Newer Cephalosporins", 10 Reviews of Infectious Diseases 830 (1988). Indeed, the development of resistant bacterial strains has led to a concern that pathogenic bacteria may be produced that are essentially resistant to even the newest developed antibacterial agents.
The literature describes many attempts to enhance the efficacy of antimicrobials, and to overcome the development of microbial resistance. Many such attempts involve the combination of antimicrobials. For example, Thabaut et al., 16 Presse Med. 2167 (1987) describes combinations of pefloxacin (a quinolone) with the beta-lactams cefotaxime and cefsulodin. Lenoc et al., 36 Path. Biol. 762 (1988), describes combined use of cephems with aminoglycosides, and with quinolones. Japanese Patent Publication 60/06,617, published Jan. 14, 1985, also describes compositions containing beta-lactams and quinolones. O'Callaghan et al., 10 Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy 245 (1976), describes a mercapto pyridine-substituted cephem, which is said to liberate an active antimicrobial agent when the cephalosporin is hydrolyzed by beta-lactamase. Mobashery et al., 108 J. American Chemical Society 1684 (1986), presents a theory of employing bacterial beta-lactamase in situ to release an antibacterially-active leaving group from the 10-position of a cephem.
However, many such attempts to produce improved antimicrobials yield equivocal results. Indeed, few antimicrobials are produced that are truly clinically-acceptable in terms of their spectrum of antimicrobial activity, avoidance of microbial resistance, and pharmacology.

Lact--CH.sub.2 --X+HS--Quin.fwdarw.Lact--CH.sub.2 --S--Quin (a thioether).fwdarw.Lact--CH.sub.2 --SO--Quin (a sulfoxide).fwdarw.Lact--CH.sub.2 --SO.sub.2 --Quin (a sulfone)
where X is a reactive leaving group (such as halo, a sulfonate ester, acetate, thiobenzoate or other activated hydroxyl functionality, etc.). "Lact" represents an appropriately protected lactam-containing structure (such as a penem, carbapenem, cephem, monocyclic beta-lactam, oxacephem, or carbacephem), and "Quin" represents an appropriately protected quinolone. The sequence can be envisioned as nucleophilic displacement of the lactam X group with a thio-containing quinolone to form the thioether coupled conjugate of the lactam and the quinolone. Oxidation of the thioether yields the corresponding sulfoxide conjugate. Further oxidation produces the sulfone quinolonyl lactam conjugate.
Quinolonyl lactams having a vinyl-thioether linking moiety may be made by the following general reaction sequence: ##STR25## where X is a reactive vinylic leaving group (such as halo, sulfonate ester, phosphate ester or other activated enolic functionality, etc.) The lactam-containing structure may be a penem, as represented above, or more may be another appropriately protected lactam-containing structure (such as carbapenem, cephem, oxacephem, or carbacephem), and "Quin" represents an appropriately protected quinolone possessing a thiol substituent. The sequence can be envisioned as the displacement of the vinylic lactam X substituent to form the corresponding vinyl-thioether coupled conjugate of the lactam and quinolone.
Quinolonyl lactams having an isothiouronium linking group may be made by the following general reaction sequence:
RC(.dbd.O)N.dbd.C.dbd.S+HN--Quin.fwdarw.H.sub.2 NC(.dbd.S)N--Quin+Lact--CH.sub.2 --X.fwdarw.Lact--CH.sub.2 --SC(.dbd.NH.sub.2.sup.+ X.sup.-)N--Quin
where X is a reactive leaving group (such as halo, a sulfonate ester, acetate, thiobenzoate or other activated hydroxyl functionality). Lact represents an appropriately protected lactam-containing structure (such as a penem, carbapenem, cephem, monocyclic beta-lactam, oxacephem, or carbacephem, and "Quin" represents an appropriately protected quinolone. The sequence can be envisioned as formation of the intermediate quinolone thiourea, followed by nucleophilic displacement of the lactam X substituent to form a isothiouronium coupled conjugate of the lactam and quinolone.
In the reaction sequences described herein, certain functional groups contained in the Lact and Quin structures, (such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amino groups) may need to be blocked in order to prevent undesired competing side reactions from occurring with X. Suitable protecting groups for carboxyl substituents include esters. Protecting groups for hydroxyl substituents include ethers, esters, and carbonates; and protecting groups for amino substituents include carbamates, and amides. If various protecting groups are employed, then appropriate deprotecting chemistry, that will not decompose the coupled conjugate, may be required to obtain antibacterially active products.
Compositions
The compositions of this invention comprise:
(a) a safe and effective amount of a quinolonyl lactam; and
(b) a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier.
A "safe and effective amount" of a quinolonyl lactam is an amount that is effective, to inhibit microbial growth at the site of an infection to be treated in a human or lower animal subject, without undue adverse side effects (such as toxicity, irritation, or allergic response), commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio when used in the manner of this invention. The specific "safe and effective amount" will, obviously, vary with such factors as the particular condition being treated, the physical condition of the patient, the duration of treatment, the nature of concurrent therapy (if any), the specific dosage form to be used, the carrier employed, the solubility of the quinolonyl lactam therein, and the dosage regimen desired for the composition.
The compositions of this invention are preferably provided in unit dosage form. As used herein, a "unit dosage form" is a composition of this invention containing an amount of a quinolonyl lactam that is suitable for administration to a human or lower animal subject, in a single dose, according to good medical practice. These compositions preferably contain from about 30 mg to about 20,000 mg, more preferably from about 50 mg (milligrams) to about 7000 mg, more preferably from about 500 mg to about 3500 mg, of a quinolonyl lactam.
The compositions of this invention may be in any of a variety of forms, suitable (for example) for oral, rectal, topical or parenteral administration. Depending upon the particular route of administration desired, a variety of pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers well-known in the art may be used. These include solid or liquid fillers, diluents, hydrotropes, surface-active agents, and encapsulating substances. Optional pharmaceutically-active materials may be included, which do not substantially interfere with the antimicrobial activity of the quinolonyl lactam. The amount of carrier employed in conjunction with the quinolonyl lactam is sufficient to provide a practical quantity of material for administration per unit dose of the quinolonyl lactam. Techniques and compositions for making dosage forms useful in the methods of this invention are described in the following references, all incorporated by reference herein: 7 Modern Pharmaceutics, Chapters 9 and 10 (Banker & Rhodes, editors, 1979); Lieberman et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets (1981); and Ansel, Introduction to Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms 2d Edition (1976).
In particular, pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers for systemic administration include sugars, starches, cellulose and its derivatives, malt, gelatin, talc, calcium sulfate, vegetable oils, synthetic oils, polyols, alginic acid, phosphate buffer solutions, emulsifiers, isotonic saline, and pyrogen-free water. Preferred carriers for parenteral administration include propylene glycol, ethyl oleate, pyrrolidone, ethanol, and sesame oil. Preferably, the pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, in compositions for parenteral administration, comprises at least about 90% by weight by the total composition.
Various oral dosage forms can be used, including such solid forms as tablets, capsules, granules and bulk powders. These oral forms comprise a safe and effective amount, usually at least about 5%, and preferably from about 25% to about 50%, of the quinolonyl lactam. Tablets can be compressed, tablet triturates, enteric-coated, sugar-coated, film-coated, or multiple-compressed, containing suitable binders, lubricants, diluents, disintegrating agents, coloring agents, flavoring agents, flow-inducing agents, and melting agents. Liquid oral dosage forms include aqueous solutions, emulsions, suspensions, solutions and/or suspensions reconstituted from non-effervescent granules, and effervescent preparations reconstituted from effervescent granules, containing suitable solvents, preservatives, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, diluents, sweeteners, melting agents, coloring agents and flavoring agents. Preferred carriers for oral administration include gelatin, propylene glycol, cottonseed oil and sesame oil.
The compositions of this invention can also be administered topically to a subject, i.e., by the direct laying on or spreading of the composition on the epidermal or epithelial tissue of the subject. Such compositions include, for example, lotions, creams, solutions, gels and solids. These topical compositions preferably comprise a safe and effective amount, usually at least about 0.1%, and preferably from about 1% to about 5%, of the quinolonyl lactam. Suitable carriers for topical administration preferably remain in place on the skin as a continuous film, and resist being removed by perspiration or immersion in water. Generally, the carrier is organic in nature and capable of having dispersed or dissolved therein the quinolonyl lactam. The carrier may include pharmaceutically-acceptable emolients, emulsifiers, thickening agents, and solvents.
Methods of Administration
This invention also provides methods of treating or preventing an infectious disorder in a human or other animal subject, by administering a safe and effective amount of a quinolonyl lactam to said subject. As used herein, an "infectious disorder" is any disorder characterized by the presence of a microbial infection. Preferred methods of this invention are for the treatment of bacterial infections. Such infectious disorders include (for example) central nervous system infections, external ear infections, infections of the middle ear (such as acute otitis media), infections of the cranial sinuses, eye infections, infections of the oral cavity (such as infections of the teeth, gums and mucosa), upper respiratory tract infections, lower respiratory tract infections, genitourinary infections, gastrointestinal infections, gynecological infections, septicemia, bone and joint infections, skin and skin structure infections, bacterial endocarditis, burns, antibacterial prophylaxis of surgery, and antibacterial prophylaxis in immunosuppressed patients (such as patients receiving cancer chemotherapy, or organ transplant patients).
The quinolonyl lactams and compositions of this invention can be administered topically or systemically. Systemic application includes any method of introducing the quinolonyl lactam into the tissues of the body, e.g., intrathecal, epidural, intramuscular, transdermal, intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, sublingual, rectal, and oral administration. The specific dosage of antimicrobial to be administered, as well as the duration of treatment, are mutually dependent. The dosage and treatment regimen will also depend upon such factors as the specific quinolonyl lactam used, the resistance pattern of the infecting organism to the quinolonyl lactam used, the ability of the quinolonyl lactam to reach minimum inhibitory concentrations at the site of the infection, the nature and extent of other infections (if any), the personal attributes of the subject (such as weight), compliance with the treatment regimen, and the presence and severity of any side effects of the treatment.
Typically, for a human adult (weighing approximately 70 kilograms), from about 75 mg to about 30,000 mg, more preferably from about 100 mg to about 20,000 mg, more preferably from about 500 mg to about 3500 mg, of quinolonyl lactam are administered per day. Treatment regimens preferably extend from about 1 to about 56 days, preferably from about 7 to about 28 days, in duration. Prophylactic regimens (such as avoidance of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients) may extend 6 months, or longer, according to good medical practice.
A preferred method of parenteral administration is through intramuscular injection. As is known and practiced in the art, all formulations for parenteral administration must be sterile. For mammals, especially humans, (assuming an approximate body weight of 70 kilograms) individual doses of from about 100 mg to about 7000 mg, preferably from about 500 mg to about 3500 mg, are acceptable.
A preferred method of systemic administration is oral. Individual doses of from about 100 mg to about 2500 mg, preferably from about 250 mg to about 1000 mg are preferred.
Topical administration can be used to deliver the quinolonyl lactam systemically, or to treat a local infection. The amounts of quinolonyl lactam to be topically administered depends upon such factors as skin sensitivity, type and location of the tissue to be treated, the composition and carrier (if any) to be administered, the particular quinolonyl lactam to be administered, as well as the particular disorder to be treated and the extent to which systemic (as distinguished from local) effects are desired.
