DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to new antibiotics. In particular, this invention relates to a group of C-20-modified derivatives of the macrolide antibiotics tylosin, desmycosin, macrocin, lactenocin, 2"'-O-demethylmacrocin (DOMM) and 2"-O-demethyllactenocin (DOML) and to the acid addition salts of these derivatives. This invention also relates to methods of treating certain infections with, methods of promoting growth in animals with, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the specified derivatives and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts.

New, improved antibiotics are continually in demand. In addition to antibiotics which are useful for treating human diseases, improved antibiotics are also needed in the veterinary field. Increased potency, expanded spectrum of bacterial inhibition, increased in vivo efficacy, and improved pharmaceutical properties (such as greater oral absorption, higher blood or tissue concentrations, longer body half life, and more advantageous rate or route of excretion and rate or pattern of metabolism) are some of the goals for improved antibiotics.

Unfortunately, conversion of tylosin-like macrolides to derivatives having improved properties has not been very successful. A large number of derivatives have been made, but the utility of these derivatives has been similar to, or less than, that of the parent compound.

Unexpectedly, we have now discovered that modification of the C-20 aldehyde group via reductive amination to a C-20-dihydro-deoxy-(cyclic tertiary amino group) has resulted in derivatives with significantly increased activity.

One group of novel macrolides of this invention are compounds of formula 1: ##STR7## wherein R is a saturated or unsaturated secondary amino group of the formula ##STR8## in which the nitrogen atom is part of an otherwise carbocyclic ring system selected from a monocyclic ring containing from 5 to 16 ring atoms or a bicyclic or tricyclic ring system containing from 8 to 20 ring atoms wherein one or more of the carbon atoms may be substituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkenyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkynyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxycarbonyl, hydroxyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkanoyloxy, halo, halo-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, --N(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl).sub.2, --N(CH.sub.2).sub.m, ##STR9## cyano, ethylenedioxy, benzyl, phenyl or phenyl substituted by from 1 to 3 substituents selected from nitro, halo, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, hydroxy, amino, or mono- or di-(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl)amino;

m is an integer from 4 through 7; R.sup.1 is ##STR10## R.sup.2 is hydrogen, optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkanoyl or optionally substituted benzoyl, phenylacetyl or phenylpropionyl; R.sup.3 is hydroxy; optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkanoyloxy; optionally substituted benzoyloxy, phenylacetoxy or phenoxyacetoxy; or ##STR11## and the acid addition salts of these compounds.

Another group of novel macrolides of this invention are compounds of formula 2: ##STR12## wherein Q.sup.1 is ##STR13## Q.sup.2 is hydrogen or a hydroxyl-protecting group; Q.sup.3 is hydrogen or iodo; and

R and R.sup.2 are as defined in formula 1; and to the acid addition salts of these compounds.

Although no stereochemical assignments are indicated in the structures given herein, the stereochemistry is identical to that of the antibiotics from which the compounds are prepared, e.g. tylosin.

When R is unsaturated, representative groups are 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin-1-yl; 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-1-yl; 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl; indol-1-yl; isoindol-2-yl; indolin-1-yl; isoindolin-2-yl; 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-1-yl; 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-2-benzazepin-2-yl; 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepin-3-yl; pyrrol-1-yl; 1H-azepin-1-yl; carbazol-9-yl; acridin-10-yl; and acridin-9-one-10-yl.

When R is a saturated monocyclic ring, representative groups include pyrrolidin-1-yl, piperidin-1-yl, hexahydroazepin-1-yl, octahydroazocin-1-yl, octahydro-1H-azonin-1-yl, azacyclotridecan-1-yl and the like.

When R is a saturated bicyclic or tricyclic ring, representative groups include decahydroquinolin-1-yl; decahydroisoquinolin-2-yl; decahydrocyclohepta[b]pyrrol-1-yl; decahydrocyclohepta[c]pyrrol-2-yl; decahydrocyclopent[c]azepin-2-yl; decahydrocyclopent[d]azepin-3-yl; an azabicycloheptanyl group such as 3-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptan-3-yl; an azabicyclooctanyl group such as 6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-6-yl; an azabicyclononanyl group such as 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonan-3-yl; an azabicyclodecanyl group such as 4-azabicyclo[5.3.0]decan-4-yl; an azatricyclo group such as 2-azatricyclo[6.2.2.2.sup.3,6 ]tetradecan-2-yl or dodecahydrocarbazol-9-yl; and a spiro-fused system such as 1-azaspiro[4.5]decan-1-yl.

Representative groups when R has one or more substituents on the carbon atoms of the ring system include 1,3,3-trimethyl-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-6-yl; 4-piperidinopiperidin-1-yl; 3,3,5-trimethylhexahydroazepin-1-yl; 4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl; 3,5-dimethylpiperidin-1-yl; 3-(N,N-diethylcarbamoyl)piperidin-1-yl; and the like.

The term C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 means a hydrocarbon group containing from one to four carbon atoms which can be straight, branched, or cyclic. By alkenyl and alkynyl are meant a hydrocarbon group containing a double or triple bond, respectively. The term "C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkanoyl" as used herein refers to an acyl moiety derived from a carboxylic acid containing from one to five carbon atoms. When optionally substituted, the alkyl group can bear one to three halo substituents. Halo substituents are selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br and F. Acetyl, chloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, propionyl, n-butyryl, isobutyryl, n-valeryl, and isovaleryl are examples of such groups. The term "C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkanoyloxy" refers to the corresponding acyloxy moiety.

The terms "optionally substituted benzoyl, phenylacetyl or phenylpropionyl" and "optionally subtituted benzoyloxy, phenylacetoxy or phenoxyacetoxy" mean that the phenyl portion of the moiety is optionally substituted by from one to five halo or methyl groups or by from one to two methoxyl, nitro or hydroxyl groups.

The term "hydroxyl-protecting group" refers to a substituent which is not removed under the reaction conditions but which can be readily removed after the reaction has been completed to liberate the original hydroxyl group. Hydroxyl-protecting groups are well known in the art (see, for example, T. W. Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", Wiley-Interscience, 1981, pp. 10-86). One especially suitable hydroxyl-protecting group is the tetrahydropyranyl group.

The C-20-modified macrolide derivatives of this invention are prepared from the group of macrolide antibiotics which includes tylosin, relomycin, desmycosin, 20-dihydrodesmycosin, macrocin, 20-dihydromacrocin, 2"'-O-demethylmacrocin (DOMM), 20-dihydro-DOMM, lactenocin, 20-dihydro-lactenocin, 2"-O-demethyllactenocin (DOML) and 20-dihydro-DOML.

Tylosin and desmycosin are described by R. L. Hamill et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,178,341, issued Apr. 13, 1965. Macrocin and lactenocin are described by Hamill et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,326,759, issued June 20, 1967. DOMM, dihydro-DOMM, DOML and dihydro-DOML are antibiotics described by Richard H. Baltz, Gene M. Wild, and Eugene T. Seno in U.S. Pat. No. 4,385,116, issued May 24, 1983. The structures of these antibiotics are shown in formulas 3-14:

Preparation of the C-20-modified derivatives of this invention involves, in a formal sense, reductive amination of the C-20 aldehyde group of tylosin, desmycosin, macrocin, lactenocin, DOMM or DOML. This can be accomplished by two methods.

METHOD 1

In this method, the aldehyde group of compound 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, or 13 is first reduced to give the corresponding 20-dihydro compounds, i.e. the compounds of formulas 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14. The C-20 hydroxyl group in these compounds is then converted to a leaving group suitable for displacement reactions by one of two methods. In one method the C-20 hydroxyl group is converted to the trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy (triflate) group, which may be further converted to another leaving group such as iodo, if desired. In the other method, which can only be used with desmycosin, lactenocin and DOML, the iodo derivative is directly formed by addition of iodine (which may be dissolved in a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide) to a solution of the 20-dihydro derivative and triphenylphosphine under nitrogen.

The leaving group at C-20 (iodo, triflate, etc.) is then displaced by reaction with the appropriate amine in a suitable solvent, such as acetonitrile, until the desired 20-modified derivative is formed.

METHOD 2

In this method, the aldehyde group of compound 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 or 13 is reacted directly with the corresponding amine in the presence of a suitable reducing agent in an appropriate solvent until the desired product is formed. Sodium cyanoborohydride and sodium borohydride are examples of suitable reducing agents, and anhydrous methanol is a useful solvent for this reaction. The reaction may be carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere, but this is usually not required.

The C-20-modified derivatives of desmycosin, lactenocin and DOML can also be prepared by acidic hydrolysis of mycarose from the corresponding C-20-modified derivatives of tylosin, macrocin and DOMM, respectively. Procedures for the acidic hydrolysis of mycarose from tylosin and macrocin to form desmycosin and lactenocin, respectively, are well known. DOMM is hydrolyzed in a similar manner to form DOML.

The 4'-deoxy derivatives of this invention, i.e. the compounds of formula 2 wherein Q.sup.3 .dbd.H, are readily prepared by procedures analogous to those described supra, using 4'-deoxydesmycosin as starting material. The starting material can be prepared via procedures outlined in J. Antibiotics 34, 1381-1384 (1981). In many cases, the C-20-modified derivative of desmycosin can be converted to the C-20-modified 4'-deoxy analog by similar procedures.

The ester derivatives of the C-20-modified compounds of this invention are prepared by esterifying the appropriate C-20-modified derivative on the 2'- or 2' and 4'-hydroxyl groups by treatment with acylating agents, using standard methods well exemplified in the art. The preparation of 2'-O-ester derivatives of the C-20-modified derivatives is accomplished by procedures similar to those described by Baltz et al. in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,321,361 and 4,321,362. 2',4'-Di-O-ester derivatives of C-20-modified derivatives may be prepared using procedures analogous to those described by Herbert A. Kirst in U.S. Pat. No. 4,401,660, issued Aug. 30, 1983, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The C-20-modified derivatives of this invention form salts, particularly acid addition salts. These acid addition salts are also useful as antibiotics and are a part of this invention. In another aspect, such salts are useful as intermediates, for example, the separating and purifying the derivatives. In addition, the salts have an improved solubility in water.

Representative suitable salts include those salts formed by standard reactions with both organic and inorganic acids such as, for example, sulfuric, hydrochloric, phosphoric, acetic, succinic, citric, lactic, maleic, fumaric, palmitic, cholic, pamoic, mucic, D-glutamic, d-camphoric, glutaric, glycolic, phthalic, tartaric, formic, lauric, stearic, salicylic, methanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, sorbic, picric, benzoic, cinnamic, and like acids.

Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are an especially preferred group of salts of this invention.

The derivatives of this invention inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, especially gram-positive bacteria, Mycoplasma species and gram-negative bacteria such as Pasteurella species. The derivatives are particularly useful against Pasteurella species such as P. multocida and P. hemolytica and against Mycoplasma species such as M. gallisepticum and M. hyopneumoniae (the causative agent of mycoplasmal pneumonia in swine).

The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC's) at which illustrative compounds inhibit certain bacteria are given in Tables IX and X. The MIC's in Table IX were determined by standard agar-dilution assays. The MIC's in Table X were obtained using conventional broth-dilution microtiter tests.

The C-20 modified derivatives of this invention have shown in vivo antimicrobial activity against experimentally-induced infections in laboratory animals. When two doses of test compound were administered to mice experimentally infected with S. pyogenes C203, the activity observed was measured as an ED.sub.50 value [effective dose in mg/kg to protect 50% of the test animals: see Warren Wick, et al., J. Bacteriol. 81, 233-235 (1961)]. ED.sub.50 values observed for illustrative compounds are given in Table XI.

Many of the C-20 modified derivatives of this invention have also shown in vivo antibacterial activity against infections induced by gram-negative bacteria. Tables XII and XIII summarize the results of tests in which illustrative compounds were evaluated against a Pasteurella infection in one-day-old chicks. The compounds were administered parenterally or orally after challenge of the chicks with Pasteurella multocida (0.1 ml of a 10.sup.-4 dilution of a twenty-hour tryptose broth culture of an avian P. multocida given subcutaneously). In these tests, unless indicated otherwise, all non-medicated infected chicks died within 24 hours of Pasteurella challenge. In the tests summarized in Table XII, the compounds were administered by subcutaneous injection at a dosage of 30 mg/kg, 1 and 4 hours post-challenge of the chicks with P. multocida. In the tests summarized in Table XIII the compounds were administered in medicated drinking water (at a level of 2 g/gal) available from 4 to 20 hours prior to challenge of the chicks with P. multocida and during the 3 -day test period.

This invention also relates to methods of controlling infections caused by bacterial and mycoplasmal species. In carrying out the methods of this invention, an effective amount of a compound of formula 1 or 2 is administered parenterally or orally to an infected or susceptible warm-blooded animal. The compounds can also be administered by insufflation, i.e. by blowing the compound, in the form of a medicated dust, into an enclosed space or room wherein the animals or poultry are held. The animals or poultry breathe the medicated dust present in the air; the medicated dust is also taken into the body through the eyes (a process called intraocular injection).

The dose which is effective to control the infection will vary with the severity of the infection and the age, weight, and condition of the animal. The total dose required for protection parenterally will generally, however, be in the range of from about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg and preferably will be in the range of from about 0.5 to about 50 mg/kg. The dose required for oral administration will generally be in the range of from about 1 to about 300 mg/kg and preferably will be in the range of from about 1 to about 100 mg/kg. Suitable dosage regimens can be constructed.

A special advantage of this invention is that certain of the compounds are effective when administered as a single injection. For example, a single injection of 20-dihydro-20-deoxy-(cis-3,5-dimethylpiperidin-1-yl)desmycosin provides prolonged measurable blood and tissue levels of the drug for as long as seven days.

Often the most practical way to administer the compounds is by formulation into the feed supply or drinking water. A variety of feeds, including the common dry feeds, liquid feeds, and pelleted feeds, may be used.

In another aspect, this invention relates to compositions useful for the control of infections caused by bacteria and Mycoplasma species. These compositions comprise a compound of formula 1 or 2 together with a suitable vehicle. Compositions may be formulated for parenteral or oral administration by methods recognized in the pharmaceutical art.

The methods of formulating drugs into animal feeds are well-known. A preferred method is to make a concentrated-drug premix which in turn is used to prepare medicated feeds. Typical premixes may contain from about 1 to about 200 grams of drug per pound of premix. Premixes may be either liquid or solid preparations.

The final formulation of feeds for animals or poultry will depend upon the amount of drug to be administered. The common methods of formulating, mixing, and pelleting feeds may be used to prepare feeds containing a compound of formula 1 or 2.

Effective injectable compositions containing these compounds may be in either suspension or solution form. In the preparation of suitable formulations it will be recognized that, in general, the water solubility of the acid addition salts is greater than that of the free bases. Similarly, the bases are more soluble in dilute acids or in acidic solutions than in neutral or basic solutions.

In the solution form the compound is dissolved in a physiologically acceptable vehicle. Such vehicles comprise a suitable solvent, preservatives such as benzyl alcohol, if needed, and buffers. Useful solvents include, for example, water and aqueous alcohols, glycols, and carbonate esters such as diethyl carbonate.

Injectable suspension compositions require a liquid suspending medium, with or without adjuvants, as a vehicle. The suspending medium can be, for example, aqueous polyvinylpyrrolidone, inert oils such as vegetable oils or highly refined mineral oils, or aqueous carboxymethylcellulose.

Suitable physiologically acceptable adjuvants are necessary to keep the compound suspended in suspension compositions. The adjuvants may be chosen from among thickeners such as carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, and the alginates. Many surfactants are also useful as suspending agents. Lecithin, alkylphenol polyethylene oxide adducts, naphthalenesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, and the polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters are useful suspending agents.

Many substances which affect the hydrophilicity, density, and surface tension of the liquid suspending medium can assist in making injectable suspensions in individual cases. For example, silicone antifoams, sorbitol, and sugars can be useful suspending agents.

In order to illustrate more fully the operation of this invention, the following examples are provided. In these examples the abbreviation "20-DH-DO" is used for the term "20-dihydro-20-deoxy".

PREPARATION 1

20-Dihydrotylosin (Relomycin)

A solution of tylosin base (30.0 g, 32.8 mmole) in 2-propanol (300 ml) and water (200 ml) was treated with sodium borohydride (315 mg, 8.2 mmole), portionwise, over a five-minute period. Thirty minutes after the addition was completed, the pH of the reaction solution was adjusted to 7.0 by the addition of 1N sulfuric acid solution. The neutralized solution was evaporated under vacuum to remove the 2-propanol; the aqueous solution remaining was treated with a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (500 ml). The mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3.times.300 ml), and the combined extracts were extracted with saturated sodium chloride solution (200 ml) and dried over sodium sulfate. Filtration followed by evaporation gave a glass which was broken up in n-hexane, collected on a filter and air-dried to yield 28.5 g (95%) of 20-dihydrotylosin.

PREPARATION 2

20-Dihydrodesmycosin

Desmycosin (10 g, 13 mmoles), dissolved in isopropanol:water (1:1, 175 ml), was stirred at room temperature while NaBH.sub.4 (125 mg, 3.3 mmoles) was added. After 1/2 hour the pH of the reaction mixture was adjusted to 7.0 with 1N H.sub.2 SO.sub.4. The alcohol was removed under reduced pressure. Saturated NaHCO.sub.3 solution was added to the aqueous solution, and the product was extracted into CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. The organic layer was dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4), and solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 9.65 g of 20-dihydrodesmycosin (12.5 mmoles, 96% yield) as a white foam.

PREPARATION 3

20-DH-DO-20-Iododesmycosin (Method 1)

20-Dihydrodesmycosin (2.0 g, 2.6 mmoles) and tetra n-butylammonium iodide (1.5 g, 3.9 mmoles) were dissolved in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (30 ml) with s-collidine (0.6 ml, 4.5 mmoles) added. This solution was cooled at -78.degree. C. under a nitrogen atmosphere and treated with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (0.6 ml, 3.9 mmoles) dropwise by syringe. The reaction was stirred for 5 minutes at -78.degree. C. then allowed to come to room temperature (about 30 minutes). Saturated NaHCO.sub.3 solution was added, and the product was extracted with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2. The organic layer was dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and evaporated to give a red oil which was purified by silica-gel flash chromatography, eluting initially with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (400 ml) and then stepwise with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 :CH.sub.3 OH solutions as follows: 98:2 (250 ml); 96:4 (500 ml) 95:5 (250 ml); 94:6 (750 ml) and 92:8 (250 ml). Fractions containing the desired product were identified by TLC, combined and evaporated to dryness to give 20-DH-DO-20-iododesmycosin (595 mg, 0.67 mmoles, 26% yield) as a white foam.

PREPARATION 4

20-DH-DO-20-Iododesmycosin (Method 2)

20-Dihydrodesmycosin (5.0 g, 6.5 mmoles) and triphenylphosphine (2.54 g, 9.70 mmoles) were dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF) (10 ml). This mixture was stirred at room temperature under N.sub.2 while iodine (2.46 g, 9.70 mmoles) in DMF (5 ml) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred for two hours and then poured into cold saturated NaHCO.sub.3 solution. The product was extracted with CHCl.sub.3 (two portions), and the combined CHCl.sub.3 extracts were shaken with 0.1M sodium thiosulfate to remove unreacted iodine. The organic layer was dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a light yellow oil which was purified by silica-gel flash chromatography. The column was eluted initially with CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 (500 ml) and then with 250 ml portions of CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 :CH.sub.3 OH mixtures as follows: 98:2; 96:4; 95:5; 94:6; 92:8; 88:12; and 86:14. Fractions containing the desired product were identified as in Preparation 3 and combined to give 1.78 g (2.0 mmoles, 31% yield) of 20-DH-DO-20-iododesmycosin as a white foam.

EXAMPLE 1

20-DH-DO-20-(Octahydroazocin-1-yl)desmycosin

20-DH-DO-20-Iododesmycosin (575 mg, 0.65 mmoles) was dissolved in acetonitrile (10 ml), and heptamethyleneimine (0.37 g, 0.41 ml, 3.3 mmoles) was added to this solution. The reaction was stirred at reflux for 1.5 hours. Volatiles were then removed under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and extracted with saturated NaHCO.sub.3 solution. The organic layer was dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and then evaporated under reduced pressure to give a light brown foam. This foam was purified by silica-gel flash chromatography, eluting with 250 ml each of the following CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 :CH.sub.3 OH mixtures: 98:2; 96:4; 94:6; 9:1; 88:12; 82:18; 65:35; 1:1; 1:3 and finally with 300 ml of CH.sub.3 OH. Fractions containing the desired product were identified by TLC, combined and evaporated to dryness to give 397 mg (0.46 mmoles, 71% yield) of 20-DH-DO-20-(octahydroazocin-1-yl)desmycosin as a white foam.

EXAMPLE 2

20-DH-DO-20-(Hexahydroazepin-1-yl)desmycosin

Desmycosin (10 g, 13 mmoles), dissolved in anhydrous methanol (100 ml), was added rapidly to a solution of NaBH.sub.3 CN (3.3 g, 52 mmoles) and hexamethyleneimine (6.5 g, 7.5 ml, 65 mmoles) in anhydrous methanol (50 ml) under N.sub.2.
