BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is concerned with carbapenem and 1-methylcarbapenem antibiotics having a quaternary mono- or bicyclic heteroarylium alkyl group which is internally alkylated in the 2-position.
Thienamycin is a known carbapenem, broad spectrum antibiotic of the formula: ##STR2## Other derivatives of A are also known.

The compounds of the present invention are valuable antibiotics, active against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and accordingly find utility in human and veterinary medicine. Representative pathogens which are sensitive to antibiotics I include: Staphyloccus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhosa, Pseudomonas and Bacterium proteus. The antibacterials of the invention are not limited to utility as medicaments; they may be used in all manner of industry, for example: additives to animal feed, preservation of food, disinfectants, and in other industrial systems where control of bacterial growth is desired. For example, they may be employed in aqueous compositions in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 parts of antibiotic per million parts of solution in order to destroy or inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria on medical and dental equipment and as bactericides in industrial applications, for example in waterbased paints and in the white water of paper mills to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
The compounds of this invention may be used in any of a variety of pharmaceutical preparations. They may be employed in capsule, powder form, in liquid solution, or in suspension. They may be adminstered by a variety of means; those of principal interest include: topically or parenterally by injection (intravenously or intramuscularly).
Compositions for injection, a preferred route of delivery, may be prepared in unit dosage form in ampules, or in multidose containers. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for reconstitution, at the time of delivery, with a suitable vehicle, such as sterile water. Topical applications may be formulated in hydrophobic or hydrophilic bases as ointments, creams, lotions, paints, or powders.
The dosage to be administered depends to a large extent upon the condition and size of the subject being treated as well as the route and frequency of administration--the parenteral route by injection being preferred for generalized infections. Such matters, however, are left to the routine discretion of the therapist according to principles of treatment well known in the antibiotic art. In general, a daily dosage consists of from about 5 to about 600 mg of active ingredient per kg of body weight of the subject in one or more treatments per day. A preferred daily dosage for adult humans lies in the range of from about 10 to 240 mg of active ingredient per kg of body weight. Another factor influencing the precise dosage regimen, apart from the nature of the infection and peculiar identity of the individual being treated, is the molecular weight of the chosen species of this invention (I).
The compositions for human delivery per unit dosage, whether liquid or solid, may contain from 0.1% to 99% of active material, the preferred range being from about 10-60%. The composition will generally contain from about 15 mg to about 1500 mg of the active ingredient; however, in general, it is preferable to employ a dosage amount in the range of from about 250 mg to 1000 mg. In parenteral administration, the unit dosage is usually the pure compound I in sterile water solution or in the form of a soluble powder intended for solution.
The preferred method of administration of the formula I antibiotic is parenteral by i.v. infusion, i.v. bolus, or i.m. injection.
For adults, 5-50 mg of Formula I antibiotic per kg of body weight given 2, 3, or 4 times per day is preferred. Preferred dosage is 250 mg to 1000 mg of the Formula I antibiotic given two (b.i.d.) three (t.i.d.) or four (q.i.d.) times per day. More specifically, for mild infections, and particularly urinary tract infections, a dose of 250 mg t.i.d. or q.i.d. is recommended. For moderate infections against highly susceptible gram positive and gram negative organisms, a dose of 500 mg t.i.d. or q.i.d. is recommended. For severe, life-threatening infections against organisms at the upper limits of sensitivity to the antibiotic, a dose of 1000 t.i.d. or q.i.d. is recommended.
For children, a dose of 5-25 mg/kg of body weight given 2, 3, or 4 times per day is preferred; a dose of 10 mg/kg t.i.d. or q.i.d. is usually recommended.
Antibiotic compounds of Formula I are of the broad class known as carbapenems or 1-carbadethiapenems. Certain of these carbapenems are susceptible to attack by a renal enzyme known as dehydropeptidase (DHP). This attack or degradation may reduce the efficacy of the carbapenem antibiotic. Inhibitors of DHP and their use with carbapenem antibiotics are disclosed in the prior art [see published European Patent Applications No. 79102616.4 filed July 24, 1979 (Pat. No. 10573); 79102615.6, filed July 24, 1979 (application No. 15573); and No. 82107174.3, filed Aug. 9, 1980 (application No. 72014)].
The present I compounds may, where DHP inhibition is desired or necessary, be combined or used with the appropriate DHP inhibitor as described in the aforesaid published applications. Thus, to the extent that the cited European patent applications 1.) define the procedure for determining DHP susceptibility of the present carbapenems and 2.) disclose suitable inhibitors, combination compositions and methods of treatment, they are incorporated herein by reference. A preferred weight ratio of I compound:DHP inhibitor in the combination compositions is about 1:1. A preferred DHP inhibitor is 7-(L-2-amino-2-carboxyethylthio)-2-(2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide)-2-heptenoic acid or a useful salt thereof.
These combination compositions and their use is another embodiment of the present invention.
The compounds of Formula I may be prepared by any convenient process.

EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of (1R,5S,6S,8R)-2-[[[1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]-thio]-methyl]-6-(hydroxyethyl)-1-methylcarbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid, potassium salt, 6 ##STR36##
A commercial sample of 3M methylmagnesium bromide in ether (690 l, 2.07 mmol) is added dropwise to a stirred solution of thiopyridyl ester 1 (1.06 g, 1.41 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (25 ml) at -78.degree. under nitrogen. After 5 minutes, work-up of a small aliquot shows on TLC the less polar product as well as residual starting material. An additional amount of methyl magnesium bromide (140 l, 0.42 mmol) is added, and stirring is continued at -78.degree. for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture is then added to a saturated NH.sub.4 Cl solution (35 ml), H.sub.2 O (10 ml), and ethyl acetate (40 ml). After phase separation, the aqueous layer is extracted with an additional amount of ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers are washed with cold 1N HCl (35 ml), cold 10% NaHCO.sub.3 (35 ml), and then brine (35 ml). After drying over MgSO.sub.4, the organic layer is concentrated in vacuo to a yellow foam. Chromatography on Baker's silica gel (eluting with 0 10% ethyl acetate in methylene chloride) affords ca. 90% pure methyl ketone (800 mg). Preparative thin layer chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 1:1 ethyl acetate-hexane and extracting with 1:1 ethyl acetate-methylene chloride) provides pure methyl ketone 2 (650 mg, 70% yield).

EXAMPLE 2
Alternate Preparation of Intermediate 3 ##STR38##
To diisopropyl amine (12 l, 0.087 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1 ml) at 0.degree. under nitrogen is added 1.3M BuLi in hexane (67 l, 0.087 mmol). After 10 minutes at 0.degree. the temperature is lowered to -78.degree., and a solution of methyl ketone 2 (38 mg, 0.058 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (500 l) is added. Following stirring 3 minutes at -78.degree., MoO.sub.5 pyridine HMPA (MoOPH) (38 mg, 0.088 mmol) is added. The temperature is raised and held at -30.degree. for 30 minutes. Upon addition of a saturated Na.sub.2 SO.sub.3 solution (600 l), 1M KH.sub.2 PO.sub.4 (240 l), water (2 ml) and ethyl acetate (2 ml) the cooling bath is removed, and the reaction mixture is stirred vigorously for 15 minutes.
