Cephalosporin compounds and the production thereof

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a new cephalosporin compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof which are useful as antibacterial agent. More particularly, this invention relates to a new cephalosporin compound (as syn-isomer) which bears an .alpha.-(substituted imino)-.alpha.-(2-aminothiazolyl)-acetyl group as a side chain at the 7-position and a .beta.-substituted vinyl group as a side chain at the 3-position of the cephem nucleus. This invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the new cepahlosporin compound as active ingredient. This invention further relates to a process for the production of the new cephalosporin compound.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Some .beta.-lactam compounds which are closely related to the new cephalosporin compounds of this invention are known as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application first publication "Kokai" No. 124790/80, No. 122383/81 and No. 76088/84, and U.K. patent application first publication No. 2128990 A. These known cephalosporin compounds which are disclosed in said Japanese patent application first publications have a .beta.-substituted vinyl group as the side chain at the 3-position of the cephem nucleus, similarly to the cephalosporin compounds according to this invention. However, the new cephalosporin compounds of this invention are different from the above-mentioned known cephalosporin compounds in respect of the kind of the substituent born on the .beta.-position of the .beta.-substituted vinyl group at the 3-position of the cephem nucleus.
Cephalosprin-type antibiotics are known to be highly and broadly active against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Various kinds of semi-synthesized cephalosporin compounds have already been available commercially and applied clinically for the therapeutic treatment of various infections diseases. But, only a very few ones amongst these semi-synthesized cephalosporin compounds are practically effective against the strains of bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas and Proteus. These known cephalosporin compounds are also degradable by a .beta.-lactamase which is produced by some resistant strains of bacteria, and they exhibit only a poor activity against some resistant strains of bacteria which have now been a target of clinical treatments of bacterial infections (see: W. E. Wick "Cephalosporins and Penicillins, Chemistry and Biology", edited by E. H. Flynn, Academic Press, New York, N.Y., 1972, Chapter 11.)
We, the present inventors, have now succeeded in preparing new cephalosporin compounds represented by the general formula (I) shown below, and have found that said new cephalosporin compounds exhibit activity in a very wide range of the antibacterial spectrum and that these new compounds are highly active not only against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria but also against some resistant strains of bacteria.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to a first aspect of this invention, there is provided a new cephalosporin compound of the general formula (I) ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 is an amino group or a protected amino group; R.sup.2 is a lower alkyl group, a carboxymethyl group or a protected carboxymethyl group; R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom, a salt-forming cation or a carboxyl-protecting group; A is an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl group, an unsubstituted or substituted furyl group, an unsubstituted or substituted thiazolyl group or an unsubstituted or substituted 3-lower-alkylthiazolio group, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester of said cephalosporin compound.
The cephalosporin compound of the formula (I) according to this invention includes two isomers, namely (E)-isomer (i.e., a trans-isomer) and (Z)-isomer (i.e., a cis-isomer), depending on the relative positions of the substituents and the hydrogen atoms attached to the vinylic double bond of the .beta.-substituted vinyl group at the 3-position of the cephem nucleus. The cephalosporin compound of this invention, therefore, covers the (E)-isomer, the (Z)-isomer and the mixture thereof. The (Z)-isomer of the cephalosporin compound according to this invention is of such a form in which the group A and the cephem moiety take "cis"-position around the vinylic double bond of the vinyl group at the 3-position as shown in the general formula (I). The (E)-isomer of the cephalosporin compound is of such form in which the group A and the cephem moiety take "trans"-position aroung the vinylic double bond of the vinyl group at the 3-position of the cephem nucleus.

The reaction as above may be carried out at a noncritical temperature, and may usually be conducted under cooling or under heating.
The product compound of the formula (I) which has been prepared by the above reactions for the preparation thereof, if desired, may then be subjected to further conventional step(s) for removal of the remaining carboxyl-protecting group and/or the remaining amino-protecting group therefrom, and/or to further conventional step(s) for converting the carboxyl group(s) of the product compound (I) into a metabolically unstable, non-toxic ester (carboxylate) group. The method for removal of the carboxyl-protecting group and/or the amino-protecting group may properly be chosen according to the nature of the protecting groups to be removed.
The amino-protecting group may be removed from the product compound (I) by a conventional deprotecting technique, for example, by hydrolysis or reduction, and for such a product compound bearing an acyl group as the amino-protecting group to be removed, it is feasible to subject such product compound (I) to a reaction with an imino-halogenating agent and then with an imino-etherifing agent, if necessary, followed by hydrolysis. Acid hydrolysis is one of the conventional methods for removing the amino-protecting groups and is applicable to the removal of such groups as an alkoxycarbonyl group, formyl group and trityl group. The acids available for this acid hydrolysis may be formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, hydrochloric acid and other organic or inorganic acids, and preferably the acids are formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid and hydrochloric acid which afford easy after-treatment of the reaction mixture. These acids for hydrolysis are selected properly according to the nature of the amino-protecting group to be removed. This hydrolysis reaction may be carried out either in the absence of any solvent or in the presence of a solvent such as water, a hydrophilic organic solvent or a mixture of organic solvents. When trifluoroacetic acid is employed for the acid hydrolysis, the reaction may suitably be conducted in the presence of anisole.
The carboxyl-protecting group may be removed also in a conventional manner, for example, by hydrolysis or reduction. Acid hydrolysis is one of the conventional deprotection methods which is advantageously applicable to the removal of the carboxyl-protecting group of such kind as silyl group and diphenylmethyl group.
The conversion of the carboxyl group into the metabolically unstable ester group may be performed by a conventional method comprising reacting a metal salt of the corresponding carboxylic acid compound with an alkyl halide such as a pivaloyloxymethyl halide e.g. chloride in an organic solvent.

When the alkylation reaction is conducted using a lower alkyl ester of the sulfuric or sulfonic acid as the alkylating agent (RX), this reaction may normally be conducted in a solvent such as benzene, toluene, dichloroethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, water, acetone, tetrahydrofurane, ethanol, ethyl ether, dimethylformamide or in any other solvent which exerts no adverse effect on the progress of this reaction.
This reaction according to Method 2 may also preferably be conducted in the presence of such an inorganic or organic base as described in Method 1. The alkylation reaction as above may be carried out at any temperature which is not limited critically, and the alkylation may usually be conducted at a temperature of up to the boiling point of the solvent used in this reaction, under cooling or heating.
The product compound (I') which has been prepared by the above alkylation reaction may, if desired, then be subjected to further conventional step(s) for removing the remaining carboxyl-protecting group and/or the remaining amino-protecting group therefrom, and/or to further convention step(s) for converting the carboxyl group(s) of the product compound (I') into a metabolically unstable, non-toxic ester (carboxylate) group, in the same manner as described for the procedures of Method 1.

The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier as mixed with the active ingredient compound may be an ordinary solid or liquid one, either organic or inorganic, which may be chosen appropriately depending on whether the pharmaceutical formulation as prepared is to be administered orally or non-orally or applied externally. The pharmaceutical composition of this invention may be of any conventional formulation form such as capsules, tablets, sugar-coated pills, ointment, suppository, solution, suspension and emulsion. Other conventional additives, including adjuvant, stabilizing agent, wetting agent, emulsifying agent, buffer solution may also be incorporated into the pharmaceutical composition of this invention containing the compound (I) as the active ingredient.
The new cephalosporin compound of this invention as orally administered is easily absorbed through the intestines by a living animal and maintains its antibacterial activity to a substantial extent in the body of the animal until it is excreted in the urine of the animal, and this may be observed by determining the remaining amount of the cephalosporin compound of this invention which can be recovered in the urine without receiving a substantial degradation of the compound in vivo. Some tests were made to evaluate the amount of the cephalosporin compound of this invention which can be recovered as the antibacterially active compound from the urine after it was orally given to mice.
Test 1
To mice of ICR-strain (male, 4-weeks-aged, three in each group) was orally administered the compound under test identified below, at a dosage of the compound of 0.5 mg per mouse. The compound under test was given as a suspension of the test compound in a solution of 0.2% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in water. By the end of 4 hours after the administration of the test compound, all the amounts of the urine excreted by the treated mice were collected together, and the total quantity of the cephalosporin compound of this invention (as the free carboxylic acid form) in the urine was determined according to a paper-disc assay method using Escherichia coli K-12 8236 as the assaying strain.
The compound under test was the Example No. 22 Compound, namely 7-[2-methoxyimino-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetamido-3-[2-(4-chlorothiazol-5-yl)vinyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (syn-isomer, cis-isomer) pivaloyloxymethyl ester; and the Example No. 38 Compound, namely 7-[2-methoxyimino-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)acetoamido]-3-[2-(thiazol-5-yl)vinyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (cyn-isomer, cis-isomer) pivaloyloxymethyl ester.
Rate of recovery of the cephalosporin compound in urine was calculated in term of percentages of the molar quantity of the cephalosporin compound as recovered (as the free carboxylic acid form) based on the molar quanitity of the cephalosporin compound as orally given.
The test results obtained (as averaged for three mice) are shown in Table 2 below.
TABLE 2______________________________________ Rate of recovery of theTest compound test compound in urine (%)______________________________________Example No. 22 Compound 24Example No. 38 Compound 20______________________________________
In the above tests, the cephalosporin compounds under test as orally given each were converted in vivo into the corresponding free carboxylic acid form owing to easy cleavage of the ester-forming pivaloyloxymethyl group from the 4-carboxyl group of the compound after they were absorbed in the animal body. The test compounds were excreted in the urine in the form of its free carboxylic acid, of which the antibacterial potency was evaluated by the bio-assay method.

This invention is now illustrated with reference to the following Examples. Examples 1-39 illustrate the procedures for preparing the new cephalosporin compounds of this invention, and Reference Examples 1-8 illustrate the procedures for preparing the starting compounds employed for the preparation of the new compounds of this invention.
