Carbapenem derivatives, their preparation and their use as antibiotics

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a series of new carbapenem derivatives which have excellent antibiotic activity and outstanding stability in vivo. By virtue of their enhanced resistance to inactivation by dehydropeptidase I, the compounds of the present invention have improved value in the therapy and prophylaxis of infectious diseases. The invention also provides methods and compositions using these derivatives for the treatment and prophylaxis of infections, as well as processes for their preparation.
The carbapenem compounds are a well known series of compounds, related to the penicillins, which have been used or have been proposed for use as antibiotics. They have in common a basic structure which may be represented by the formula (A): ##STR3##
In this formula, we have indicated the numbering of those positions of importance to the carbapenem compounds, using the numbering scheme commonly used in the art and as employed in the nomenclature of the compounds of the present invention. In accordance with the recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), Commision on Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, the compounds referred to herein are named semi-systematically, using the above carbapenem structure as the parent name.
Those carbapenem antibiotics having no substituent at the 1-position are potentially a very useful series of compounds which have extraordinarily potent antibacterial activity. Unfortunately, however, they are chemically unstable and, moreover, are sensitive to dehydropeptidase I in vivo. Dehydropeptidase I is an enzyme which hydrolyses the .beta.-lactam ring in carbapenem antibiotics and which exists in mammalian tissue, for example in the renal cortex. It is responsible for the extensive metabolisation of many otherwise valuable .beta.-lactam antibiotics in animals, including humans, thus greatly reducing their value. Despite these disadvantages, these carbapenem antibiotics are finding increasing use in the treatment of bacterial infections. A typical and common antibiotic of this type is thienamycin, which has the formula (B): ##STR4##
Metabolism of the antibiotic in vivo may be demonstrated by a low recovery of the compound itself (as opposed to its metabolic products) in the urine, and this has been demonstrated for thienamycin �H. Kropp et al., Antimicrob. Agents, Chemother., 22, 62 (1982); and S. R. Norrby et al., ibid., 23, 300 (1983)!.
Although it has been found that carbapenem compounds having a substituent at the 1-position (commonly a 1-methyl group) do not have this susceptibility to dehydropeptidase I in vivo, many of the compounds of this type discovered to date lack sufficient activity. It is, therefore, considered highly desirable to find a carbapenem antibiotic which combines the good activity of thienamycin with a resistance to dehydropeptidase I in vivo.
Many carbapenem compounds are now known. Some are described, for example, in European Patent Publications No. 126 587, 182 213, 333 175, 442 497, 443 883 and 508 602. EP 182 213 and EP 333 175 disclose compounds in which a thio-pyrrolidinyl group and its ring carbon atom substituent are linked by an alkylene group, and thus differ from the compound of the present invention in that there is no linking carbonyl group. The compounds disclosed in EP 126 587, on the other hand, are carboxylic thio-pyrrolidinyl beta-lactam compounds. EP 126 587 and EP 508 682 are thought to represent the closest prior art to the compounds of the present invention. However, the present compounds have demonstrated significantly better activity than the prior art compounds.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a series of new carbapenem compounds, including 1-methylcarbapenem compounds.
It is a further object to provide such compounds which have antibiotic activity.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide such compounds which have useful antibiotic activity and a good resistance to dehydropeptidase I in vivo.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent as the description proceeds.

The compounds of the present invention necessarily contain several asymmetric carbon atoms in their molecules, and can thus form optical isomers. Although these are all represented herein by a single molecular formula, the present invention includes both the individual, isolated isomers and mixtures, including racemates thereof. Where stereospecific synthesis techniques are employed or optically active compounds are employed as starting materials, individual isomers may be prepared directly; on the other hand, if a mixture of isomers is prepared, the individual isomers may be obtained by conventional resolution techniques.
Of the isomers, especially preferred are those in which the carbon atoms are in the same configurations as those of thienamycin, that is: in the R configuration at position 1, in the (5S, 6S) configuration at positions 5 and 6, and in the R configuration at the hydroxy-substituted .alpha.-position of the side chain at position 6.
Specific examples of compounds of the present invention are those compounds of formula (I), in which the various substituent groups are as defined in Tables 1 to 8. In the Tables, the following abbreviations are used:

For example, they may be prepared by reacting a compound of formula (II): ##STR434## �in which R.sup.24 represents a carboxy-protecting group, as exemplified below, and R.sup.28 represents an alkanesulfonyloxy group, an arylsulfonyloxy group, a dialkylphosphoryloxy group, a diarylphosphoryloxy group (as exemplified hereafter in relation to R.sup.25) or a group of formula --S(--O)R.sup.27, where R.sup.27 represents an alkyl group, a haloalkyl group, an acetamidoalkyl group, an acetamidoalkenyl group, an aryl group, or an aromatic heterocyclic group! with a compound of formula (III): ##STR435## (in which R.sup.26 represents any of the group or atoms represented by R.sup.1 or any such group or atom in which any active group is protected, and A' represents any of the groups or atoms represented by A or any such group or atom in which any active group is protected) and then, if necessary removing any protecting group.
In the above formulae, R.sup.24 represents a carboxy-protecting group. Examples of such groups include: alkyl groups, such as the methyl, ethyl and t-butyl groups; aralkyl groups, such as the benzyl, benzhydryl (diphenylmethyl), 4-nitrobenzyl and 2-nitrobenzyl groups; alkenyl groups, such as the allyl, 2-chloroallyl and 2-methylallyl group; halogenated alkyl groups, such as the 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, 2,2-dibromoethyl and 2,2,2-tribomoethyl groups; and the 2-trimethylsilylethyl group.
A' and R.sup.26 have the same meaning as defined for A and R.sup.1, respectively, or, if A' or R.sup.26 requires a protecting group, A' or R.sup.26 includes such a protecting group. Examples of such protecting groups include: normal hydroxy-, imino-, amino- and carboxy-protecting group; and examples include: the p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl and p-nitrobenzyl groups. However, many such groups are well known to those skilled in the art and any group capable of protecting an active group in this type of compound may equally be used here.
R.sup.27 represents:
an alkyl group, preferably having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as a methyl, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl group; a halogenated alkyl group, preferably having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as a fluoromethyl, chloromethyl, fluoromethyl, chloroethyl, fluoropropyl, difluoromethyl, difluoroethyl, dichloroethyl, trifluoromethyl or trifluoroethyl group;
an acetamidoalkyl group, such as a 2-acetamidoethyl group;
an acetamidoalkenyl group, such as a 2-acetamidovinyl group;
an aryl group, such as an optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl group, which may optionally have from one to three of the following substituents, which may be the same or different: fluorine, chlorine and bromine atoms, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, carbamoyl, mono- and di- alkylcarbamoyl (wherein examples of alkyl groups include, for example, the methyl, ethyl and propyl groups), nitro, hydroxy and cyano groups; or
an aromatic heterocyclic group, such as an optionally substituted pyridyl or pyrimidinyl group, which may optionally have from one to three of the following substituents, which may be the same or different: fluorine, chlorine and bromine atoms, methyl, ethyl, propyl and isopropyl groups.
In more detail, the compounds of the formula (I) invention may preferably be prepared as illustrated in the following Reaction Schemes A and B: ##STR436##
In the above formulae, A', R.sup.1, R.sup.5, R.sup.24, R.sup.26 and R.sup.27 are as defined above and R.sup.25 is defined below.
R.sup.25 represents a sulfonyl or phosphoryl group, for example: an alkanesulfonyl group, such as a methanesulfonyl, trifluoromethanesulfonyl, ethanesulfonyl propanesulfonyl, isopropanesulfonyl or butanesulfonyl group; an arylsulfonyl group, such as a phenylsulfonyl, tolylfulfonyl or naphthylsulfonyl group; a dialkylphsophoryl group, such as a dimethylphosphoryl, diethylphosphoryl, dipropylphosphoryl, diisopropylphosphoryl, dibutylphosphoryl or dipentylphosphoryl group; or a diarylphosphoryl group, such as a diphenylphosphoryl or ditolylphosphoryl group.
In Step A1 or Reaction Scheme A, a compound of formula (V) is prepared by reacting a compound of formula (IV) with an alkanesulfonic acid anhydride, an arylsulfonic acid anhydride, a dialkylphosphoryl halide or a diarylphosphoryl halide in the presence of a base to produce a compound of formula (V).
Examples of reagents which may be used in this Step include: alkanesulfonic acid anhydrides, such as methanesulfonic acid anhydride, trifluoromethanefulfonic acid anhydride or ethanesulfonic acid anhydride; anhydrous arylsulfonic acid anhydrides, such as anhydrous benzenesulfonic acid anhydride or p-toluenesulfonic acid anhydride; dialkylphosphoryl halides, such as dimethylphosphoryl chloride or diethylphosphoryl chloride; and diarylphosphoryl chlorides, such as diphenylphosphoryl chloride or diphenylphosphoryl bromide. Of these, we especially prefer p-toluenesulfonic acid anhydride or diphenylphosphoryl chloride.
The reaction is normally and preferably effected in the presence of a solvent. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the solvent to be employed, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction or on the reagents involved and that it can dissolve the reagents, at least to some extent. Examples of suitable solvents include: halogenated hydrocarbons, especially halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane or chloroform; nitriles, such as acetonitrile; and amides, especially fatty acid amides, such as N,N-dimethylformamide or N,N-dimethylaminopyridine.
There is likewise no particular limitation on the nature of the base used for the reaction, provided that it has no adverse effect on other parts of the molecule, especially the .beta.-lactam ring. Preferred examples of such bases include: organic bases, especially tertiary amines, such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine or 4-dimethylaminopyridine.
The reaction can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to the invention. In general, we find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a relatively low temperature in order to control side reactions, for example at a temperature of from -20.degree. C. to about 40.degree. C. The time required for the reaction may also vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents and solvent employed. However, provided that the reaction is effected under the preferred conditions outlined above, a period of from 10 minutes to 5 hours will usually suffice.
The reaction mixture thus obtained can be treated, in Step A2 of the Reaction Scheme, with a compound of formula (III) in the presence of a base and without any intermediate isolation or purification of the compound of formula (V). There is no particular limitation on the nature of the base used for this step and preferred examples include: organic bases, especially tertiary amines, such as triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine; and inorganic bases, such as potassium carbonate or sodium carbonate.
The reaction can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to the invention. In general, we find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a temperature of from -20.degree. C. to room temperature. The time required for the reaction may also vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents and solvent employed. However, provided that the reaction is effected under the preferred conditions outlined above, a period of from 30 minutes to 108 hours will usually suffice.
After completion of the reaction, the desired compound of formula (VI) can be recovered from the reaction mixture by conventional means. An example of one such technique comprises: concentrating the reaction mixture by distilling off the solvent, preferably under reduced pressure; adding a water-immiscible organic solvent to the residue; washing the organic phase with water; and finally distilling off the organic solvent. If necessary, the desired compound thus obtained can be further purified by conventional means, for example, by recrystallization, reprecipitation or the various chromatography techniques, notably column chromatography or preparative thin layer chromatography. Alternatively, if desired, the reaction mixture obtained in this Step can also be used as a starting mixture for subsequent Steps without isolation of the compound of formula (VI).
In Step A3, if necessary, the compound of formula (VI) obtained in Step A2 can be converted to a free carboxylic acid derivative by eliminating the carboxy-protecting group represented by R.sup.24 according to conventional means. The reaction used to remove the protecting group represented by R.sup.24 will, of course, vary depending upon the nature of the protecting group, but any reaction known in the art for the deprotection of compounds of this type may equally be used here.
For example, where the substituent on the compound of formula (VI) represented by R.sup.24 is a protecting group capable of removal by reduction, for example, a halogenated alkyl, aralkyl or benzhydryl group, the reaction can preferably be carried out by contacting the compound of formula (VI) with a reducing reagent. Preferred examples of reducing reagents which may be used for this reaction include: where the carboxy-protecting is, for example, a halogenated alkyl group (such as a 2,2-dibromoethyl or 2,2,2-trichloroethyl group), zinc and acetic acid; and where it is, for example, an aralkyl group (such as a benzyl, 4-nitrobenzyl group or a benzhydryl group), hydrogen and a catalyst for use in catalytic reduction, such as palladium on charcoal or an alkali metal sulfide, such as sodium sulfide or potassium sulfide. The reaction is normally and preferably effected in the presence of a solvent. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the solvent to be employed, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction or on the reagents involved and that it can dissolve the reagents, at least to some extent. Examples of suitable solvents include: alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane; aliphatic acids, such as acetic acid; and mixtures of water with one or more of these organic solvents.
The reaction can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to the invention. In general, we find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a temperature of from 0.degree. C. to about room temperature. The time required for the reaction may also vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents and solvent employed. However, provided that the reaction is effected under the preferred conditions outlined above, a period of from 5 minutes to 12 hours will usually suffice.
After completion of the reaction, the desired compound can be recovered from the reaction mixture by conventional means. An example of one such technique comprises: filtering off insoluble materials deposited in the reaction mixture and distilling off the solvent from the filtrate.
The compound thus obtained can, if necessary, be further purified by conventional means, for example, by recrystallization, or the various chromatography techniques, notably column chromatography or preparative thin layer chromatography.
If necessary, the carboxy group deprotected as described above can be converted to an ester group capable of hydrolyzing in vivo and the ester compound can be purified as a pharmacologically acceptable salt by conventional means.
When A' or R.sup.26 contains a hydroxy-, imino-, amino- or carboxy-protecting group (for example, a p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl group or a p-nitrobenzyl group), the protecting group can be removed at the same time as the aforementioned removal of the carboxy-protecting group (when R.sup.24 is a p-nitrobenzyl group.).
Alternatively compounds of formula (Ia) can also be prepared by Reaction Scheme B, as shown above.
The compound of formula (VII) used as a starting compound in this reaction scheme is disclosed, for example, in Japanese patent Kokai Publication No. Sho 62-30781.
In Step B1 of this Reaction Scheme, a compound of formula (VI) is prepared by reacting the compound of formula (VII) with a mercaptan of formula (III) in the presence of a base. The reaction is also normally and preferably effected in the presence of a solvent. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the solvent to be employed, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction or on the reagents involved and that it can dissolve the reagents, at least to some extent. Examples of suitable solvents include: esters, such as ethyl acetate; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran; nitriles, such as acetonitrile; amides, especially fatty acid amides, such as N,N-dimethylformamide; sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide; water; and mixtures of any two or more of these solvents. There is also no particular limitation on the nature of the base employed for the reaction, provided that is has no adverse effect on other parts of the molecule, especially the .beta.-lactam ring. Examples of such bases include: organic bases, especially tertiary amines, such as diisopropylethylamine, triethylamine, N-methylpiperidine or 4-dimethylaminopyridine; and inorganic bases, especially alkali metal carbonates and hydrogencarbonates, such as potassium carbonate or sodium hydrogencarbonate.
The reaction can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to the invention. In general, we find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a relatively low temperature in order to reduce side reactions, for example at a temperature of from -20.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. The time required for the reaction may also vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents and solvent employed. However, provided that the reaction is effected under the preferred conditions outlined above, a period of from 15 minutes to 75 hours will usually suffice.
After completion of the reaction, the desired compound of formula (VI) of the reaction can be recovered from the reaction mixture by conventional means.
Compounds of formula (Ia) can then be prepared from this compound of formula (VI) by removing the protecting groups which may be present in the groups represented by A' and R.sup.26 as described in Reaction Scheme A, if any, and by removing any other protecting group or, if necessary, by converting a deprotected carboxy group to an ester group capable of hydrolyzing in vivo.
Compounds of formula (Ia) prepared as described above can be converted to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt using procedures and techniques well known in the field of .beta.-lactam antibiotics.
The mercaptan of formula (III) used as a starting material in both of the above Reaction Schemes can be prepared following the procedure described in Japanese Patent Kokai Application No. Hei 2-28180 and No. Hei 2-3687, and Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 3-27059 and No. Hei 3-13145.
The compounds of the formula (I)" may be prepared by a variety of processes well known in the art for the preparation of compounds of this type. For example, in general terms, they may be prepared by reacting a carbapenem compound of formula (II)": ##STR437## (in which R.sup.1" is as defined above, R.sup.L" represents a sulfonyloxy or phosphoryloxy group or a group of formula --S(O)R.sup.L1", R.sup.L1" represents an alkyl group, a haloalkyl group, an alkanoylaminoalkyl group, an alkenoylaminoalkyl group, an aryl group or an aromatic heterocyclic group, and R.sup.3p" represents a carboxy-protecting group) with a pyrrolidine derivative of formula (III)": ##STR438## (in which R.sup.2p" represents any of the groups or atoms represented by R.sup.2" or any such group or atom which has been protected, and Q.sup.p" represents any of the groups or atoms represented by Q" or any such group or atom which has been protected or any such group in which a quaternary nitrogen atom is replaced by a corresponding tertiary nitrogen atoms, and, where the group Q.sup.p" contains a quaternary nitrogen atom, the compound is accompanied by a balancing anion),
and, if necessary, converting any non-quaternized nitrogen atom to the corresponding quaterary nitrogen in the group of formula (Q-I)", (Q-II)", (Q-IV)", (Q-V)" or (Q-VI)" or in the group represented by Z",
and, if necessary, removing any protecting groups,
and optionally salifying and/or esterifying the product.
In more detail, the reactions involved may be as illustrated in the following Reaction Schemes A" and B": ##STR439##
In the above formulae, R.sup.1", R.sup.2", R.sup.3", R.sup.2p", R.sup.3p", Q.sup.p" and Q" are as defined above.
R.sup.L1" represents:
an alkyl group, such as a methyl, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl group;

If Q.sup.p" or R.sup.3p" includes a protecting group, this may be selected from the many such groups well known to those skilled in the art and commonly used for the protection of hydroxy groups, imino groups, amino groups or carboxy groups. Such groups are described fully in many standard texts, for example T. W. Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", published by John Wiley & Son, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Examples of such groups typically include the p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl and p-nitrobenzyl groups.
As defined above, R.sup.3p"0 represents a protecting group for the carboxy group, such as an alkyl group, e.g. a methyl, ethyl or t-butyl group; an aralkyl group, e.g. a benzyl, diphenylmethyl, 4-nitrobenzyl or 2-nitrobenzyl group; an alkenyl group, e.g. an allkyl, 2-chloroallyl or 2-methylallyl group; a haloalkyl group, e.g. a 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, 2,2-dibromoethyl or 2,2,2-tribromoethyl group; or a 2-trimethylsilylethyl group.
In Step A1 of Reaction Scheme A", a carbapenam compound of formula (IV) is converted to a carbapenem compound of formula (IIa) by reaction with an active sulfonyl or phosphoryl compound containing a group corresponding to the group R.sup.L2", for example an alkanesulfonic anhydride, an arylsulfonic anhydride, a dialkylphosphoryl halide or a diarylphosphoryl halide.
This reaction is normally and preferably effected in the presence of a base. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the base employed, provided that it has no adverse effect on other parts of the molecule, notably the .beta.-lactam ring, and preferred examples include organic bases such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine.
Examples of sulfonyl or phosphoryl compounds which may be employed in this reaction include: alkanesulfonic anhydrides, such as methanesulfonic anhydride, trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride and ethanesulfonic anhydride; arylsulfonic anhydrides, such as benzenesulfonic anhydride and p-toluenesulfonic anhydride; dialkylphosphoryl halides, such as dimethylphosphoryl chloride and diethylphosphoryl chloride; and diarylphosphoryl halides, such as diphenylphosphoryl chloride and diphenylphosphoryl bromide. Of these reagents, we particularly prefer p-toluenesulfonic anhydride and diphenylphosphoryl chloride.
The reaction is normally and preferably effected in the presence of a solvent. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the solvent to be employed, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction or on the reagents involved and that it can dissolve the reagents, at least to some extent. Examples of suitable solvents include: halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane and chloroform; nitriles, such as acetonitrile; and amides, such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide.
The reaction can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to the invention. In general, we find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a relatively low temperature, for example from -20.degree. C. to 40.degree. C., in order to suppress any side reactions. The time required for the reaction may also vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents and solvent employed. However, provided that the reaction is effected under the preferred conditions outlined above, a period of from 10 minutes to 5 hours will usually suffice.
The compound of formula (IIa)" thus obtained is not normally isolated; instead, in Step A2", the reaction mixture is reacted, without any isolation, with a mercaptan of formula (IIIa)" in the presence of a base to obtain a compound of formula (V)". The resulting compound may then, if necessary, be subjected, in Step A5", to a deprotection reaction to eliminate any protecting group in the groups represented by R.sup.3p" or Q.sup.p" and thus to prepare the desired compound of formula (I)".
There is no particular limitation on the nature of the base which may be employed in Step A2, provided that it has no adverse effect on other parts of the molecule, notably the .beta.-lactam ring, and preferred examples include: organic bases, such as triethylamine and diisopropylethylamine; and inorganic bases, such as potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate. The reaction can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to the invention. In general, we find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a temperature of from -20.degree. C. to room temperature. The time required for the reaction may also vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents and solvent employed. However, provided that the reaction is effected under the preferred conditions outlined above, a period of from 30 minutes to 5 days will usually suffice.
After completion of the reaction, the desired compound of formula (V)" can be collected from the reaction mixture by any conventional procedure. For example, in one suitable recovery procedure, the solvent is removed from the reaction mixture by distillation to obtain the desired compound. Alternatively, in the case of the non-quaternary compounds, the solvent is removed, preferably by evaporation, the residue is extracted with an organic solvent, and the extract is washed with water and dried, after which the solvent is removed by evaporation. The compound thus obtained can be further purified, if necessary, by conventional procedures, such as recrystallization, reprecipitation or the various chromatography techniques, notably column chromatography. If desired, the compound can be purified by subjecting the reaction mixture directly to reprecipitation. Alternatively, if desired, the compound of formula (V)" can be subjected to the subsequent carboxy deprotection reaction in Step A5 without isolation.
If necessary, in Step A5", the compound of formula (V)" obtained in Step A2" can be converted to a carboxylic acid derivative of formula (I)" by eliminating the protecting group R.sup.3p" for the carboxy group by conventional means. The nature of the reaction employed for the elimination of the protecting group will, of course, vary, depending upon the nature of the protecting group, as is well known in the art. For example, where the protecting group can be eliminated by reduction (as can the haloalkyl groups, the aralkyl groups, and the benzyhydryl group), this can be achieved by bringing the compound of formula (V)" into contact with a reducing agent. Examples of preferred reducing agents which may be employed in this reaction include: zinc and acetic acid when the carboxy-protecting group is, for example, a haloalkyl group (such as a 2,2-dibromoethyl or 2,2,2,-trichloroethyl group); or, when the protecting group is, for example, an aralkyl group (such as a benzyl or 4-nitrobenzyl group) or a benzhydryl group, it is possible to use as the reducing agent either an alkali metal sulfide (such as sodium sulfide or potassium sulfide) or hydrogen in the presence of a reducing catalyst (such as palladium-on-carbon). The reducing reaction is normally and preferably effected in the presence of a solvent. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the solvent to be employed, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction or on the reagents involved and that it can dissolve the reagents, at least to some extent. Examples of suitable solvents include: alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxan; fatty acids, such as acetic acid; and mixtures of any one or more of such organic solvents with water. The reaction can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to the invention. In general, we find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a temperature of from 0.degree. C. to approximately room temperature. The time required for the reaction may also vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents and solvent employed. However, provided that the reaction is effected under the preferred conditions outlined above, a period of from 5 minutes to 12 hours will usually suffice.
If Q.sup.p" and/or R.sup.2p" includes a protecting group for a hydroxy group, an imino group, an amino group or a carboxy group (for example a p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl group or a p-nitrobenzyl group), such a protecting group can be eliminated simultaneously with the elimination of the above-mentioned carboxy-protecting group (in the case where R.sup.3p" is a p-nitrobenzyl group).
After completion of the reaction, the desired compound of the present invention can be collected from the reaction mixture by conventional means. For example, one suitable recovery procedure comprises: removing insolubles precipitated from the reaction mixture by filtration; and then removing the solvent by distillation. The compound thus obtained can be further purified, if necessary, by conventional procedures, such as recrystallization, reprecipitation or the various chromatography techniques, notably column chromatography.
Alternatively, where Q" represents one of the groups containing a quaternary nitrogen atom, it may be prepared from a mercaptan of formula (IIIa)" in which Q.sup.p" represents a corresponding tertiary nitrogen atom. In this case, in Step A2", the compound of formula (IIa)" is reacted with such a mercaptan of formula (IIIa)", to give a compound of formula (V)". This is then converted to a corresponding quaternary ammonium compound in Step A3", and then, if necessary, deprotected in Step A4", to give the desired compound of formula (I)".
Quaternization in Step A3" can be carried out using methods well known in the art, for example by reacting the compound of formula (V)" with a compound of formula R"X", in which R" represents an optionally substituted alkyl group, which may be as defined above in relation to any of the groups attached to a quaternary nitrogen atom in the groups represented by Q" or Z". X" represents a halogen atom (for example a chlorine atom, a bromine atom or an iodine atom), a monomethyl sulfate group, a sulfate group, or a sulfonyloxy group (for example a methanesulfonyloxy, toluenesulfonyloxy, trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy or fluorosulfonyloxy group). In the reaction for converting the nitrogen atoms into a quaternary atom, the compounds of formula (V)" and R"X" may be reacted directly, or a solvent may be used. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the solvent to be employed, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction or on the reagents involved and that it can dissolve the reagents, at least to some extent. Examples of suitable solvents include: halogenated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane or chloroform; nitriles, such as acetonitrile; ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran; esters, such as ethyl acetate; and amides, such as dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide. The reaction can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to the invention. In general, we find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a temperature of from -20.degree. C. to 100.degree. C.
After completion of the reaction, the desired compound of formula (VI)" can be collected from the reaction mixture by conventional means. For example, the solvent in the reaction mixture is simply evaporated off. The compound thus obtained can be further purified, if necessary, by conventional procedures, such as recrystallization, reprecipitation or the various chromatography techniques, notably column chromatography. Alternatively, the desired compound can be purified by subjecting the reaction mixture to precipitation. If required, the compound of formula (VI)" can be subjected, in Step A4", to the subsequent step of carboxy deprotection without isolation, which may be carried out as described above in relation to Step A5.
The carboxy group of the compound thus obtained can be converted to an ester group, particularly to such a group which undergoes hydrolysis under physiological conditions, by conventional means. When R.sup.3" is an ester which undergoes hydrolysis under physiological conditions �such as an alkanoyloxyalkyl group, e.g. a pivaloyloxymethyl or acetoxymethyl group, an alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl group, e.g. a 1-(ethoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl or 1-(isopropoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl group, or a phthalidyl, indanyl, methoxymethyl or 2-oxo-5-methyl-1,3-dioxolen-4-ylmethyl group!, the compound of formula (I)" need not be deprotected and can be administered directly to a patient, since such a compound can be hydrolyzed in a living body under physiological conditions.
Alternatively, the compound (V)" can be prepared, as shown in Reaction Scheme B", from a compound (IIb)". This compound of formula (IIb)" can be synthesized by the method disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Sho-62-30781 (Kokai). The reaction of the compound of formula (IIb)" with a mercaptan of formula (IIIa)" in the presence of a base to give a compound of formula (V)" is normally and preferably carried out in an inert solvent. There is no particular restriction on the nature of the solvent to be employed, provided that it has no adverse effect on the reaction or on the reagents involved and that it can dissolve the reagents, at least to some extent. Examples of suitable solvents include: tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, water and mixtures of any two or more of these solvents. There is also no particular limitation on the nature of the base employed, provided that it does not affect other portions of the compound, particularly the .beta.-lactam ring, and examples include: organic bases, such as diisopropylethylamine, triethylamine, N-methylpiperidine or 4-dimethylaminopyridine; and inorganic bases, such as potassium carbonate or sodium hydrogencarbonate. The reaction can take place over a wide range of temperatures, and the precise reaction temperature is not critical to be the invention. In general, we find it convenient to carry out the reaction at a relatively low temperature in order to suppress any side reaction, usually at a temperature of from -20.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. The time required for the reaction may also vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents and solvent employed. However, provided that the reaction is effected under the preferred conditions outlined above, a period of from 5 minutes to 5 days will usually suffice.
After completion of the reaction, the desired compound of formula (V)" can be collected from the reaction mixture by conventional means, as described in relation to Reaction Scheme A". It may then be subjected to Step B2" and B3" or Step B4", which correspond to Steps A3" and A4" or A5" of Reaction Scheme A".
The compounds prepared as described above may be salified and/or esterified by conventional means well known in the art.
The compounds of the present invention exhibit excellent antibacterial activity with a broad antibacterial spectrum, and have the ability to inhibit the activity of .beta.-lactamase unlike most thienamycin-type compounds, which are liable to be metabolized in the mammalian body. The derivatives of the present invention, in addition, exhibit excellent stability against dehydropeptidase I, which is also known to catalyze the inactivation of compounds of the thienamycin type. The derivatives of the present invention showed a strong antibacterial activity against a wide range of pathogenic bacteria including Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis, Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Shigella species, Proteus species, Serratia species, Enterobacter species, Klebsiella species and Pseudomonas species, and anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides fragilis.
The antibacterial activity was determined by the agar plate dilution method, and the minimal inhibitory concentrations of the compounds of the present invention against a variety of common pathogenic bacteria were determined and the results for some of the compounds are shown in the following Table 23. The compounds of the invention are identified by reference to the one of the following Examples which illustrates their preparation. The compounds of Examples 1, 4, 5, 6, 11, 15, 23, 37, 42, 43, 44, 45, 50, 54, 55, 61 and 66 were all found to be more active than imipenem against strains of Escherichia coli NIHJ, Klebsiella pneumoniae 846 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1001. The compounds also had a generally superior activity against Stephylococcus aureus 109P, similar to that of imipenem.
In Table 23, the compounds of the present invention are identified by reference to the one of the following Examples which illustrates its preparation.
The microorganisms used in Table 23 are identified as follows:
A: Stephylococcus aureus 209P;
B: Escherichia coli NIHJ;
C: Pseudomonae aeruginosa 1001.

These results demonstrate that the compounds of the present invention have activities which are, in general, better than that of imipenem: moreover, they are, unlike imipenem, resistant to dehydropeptidase I and .beta.-lactamase.
The carbapenem-3-carboxylic acid derivatives of the present invention, therefore, are useful as therapeutic agents for the treatment and prophylaxis of infections caused by these pathogenic bacteria. The compounds may be administered in any conventional form for this purpose, and the exact formulation used will depend on the disease to be treated, the age and condition of the patient and other factors, which are well known in the art. For example, for oral administration, the compounds may be formulated as tablets, capsules, granules, powders or syrups; and for parenteral administration, they may be formulated for intravenous injection or intramuscular injection. The dosage will vary widely, depending upon the age, body weight, symptoms and condition of the patient, as well as the mode of administration and times and routine of administration; however, for an adult human patient, a daily dosage of from about 100 mg to 3000 mg is recommended, and this may be administered as a single dose or in divided doses.
In the following Examples (which illustrate the preparation of compounds according to the present invention) and Preparations (which illustrate the preparation of certain starting materials), unless otherwise indicated, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum measurements in deuterium oxide were carried out using tetramethylsilane as an external standard and those in other solvents were carried out using tetramethylsilane as an internal standard. Also, in measurement of partial sizes, the mesh sizes used are in accordance with the Tyler standard.

127 .mu.l of diphenylphosphoryl chloride and 108 .mu.l of diisopropylethylamine were added dropwise, whilst ice-cooling, to a solution of 210 mg of 4-nitrobenzyl (1R, 5R, 6S)-6-�(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl!-1-methyl-2-oxo-1-carbapenam-3-carboxylate in 2.6 ml of dry acetonitrile, and the resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour. At the end of this time, a solution of 450 mg of (2S, 4S)-4-mercapto-2-�4-(N-4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonylacetimidoyl)piperazin-1-ylcarbonyl!-1-(4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl)pyrrolidine trifluoromethanesulfonate (prepared as described in Preparation 1) in 2.4 ml of dry acetonitrile and 274 .mu.l of diisopropylethylamine were simultaneously added dropwise to the mixture, whilst ice-cooling, and the mixture was allowed to stand overnight at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was then concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure, and the concentrate was diluted with ethyl acetate. The diluted solution was washed, in turn, with water and with an aqueous solution of sodium chloride, after which it was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was then removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography through 100 ml of silica gel 60 (Merck Art No. 9385), using a 10:5:2 by volume mixture of ethyl acetate, methylene chloride and methanol as the eluent. Those fractions containing the title compound were combined and concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure, to give 120 mg of the title compound, as an amorphous solid.
