Derivatives of 16-membered ring antibiotic macrolides

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention is concerned with new antibiotics. In particular, this invention relates to compounds which are derivatives of the macrolide antibiotics rosaramicin, repromicin, 5-mycaminosyltylonolide, desmycosin, lactenocin, O-demethyllactenocin, cirramycin A.sub.1, and 23-deoxymycaminosyltylonolide; to the pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts of such derivatives; to a method of using such derivatives in the treatment of illnesses in animals caused by bacterial and mycoplasmic pathogens; and to pharmaceutical compositions useful therefor. The term "animals" includes mammals, fish and birds.
There are numerous agents known to combat bacterial infectious diseases in animals, but for many specific diseases the current agents of choice leave much to be desired. In some instances the agents may not persist long enough in the host and, therefore, require frequent dosing to maintain therapeutically effective blood and/or tissue levels. For meat producing animals (cattle, poultry, sheep and swine) this will require considerable labor intensive animal handling which is costly to the producer. In other cases, the agent may be poorly tolerated or even toxic to the host at therapeutically effective doses. Agents with increased potency, a longer half-life, an increased therapeutic index and a broader spectrum of antibacterial activity as well as agents with greater oral absorption would improve the scope of animal diseases that could be more effectively treated. Thus, the need for new antibacterial and anti-mycoplasmic agents with improved properties endures.
Diseases of particular concern are: bovine respiratory disease, the principal causative bacterial pathogens of which are Pasteurella haemolytica, P. multocida and Haemophilus somnus; pasteurellosis in swine, goats, sheep and poultry (P. multocida); swine pleuropneumonia (Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae); swine streptococcus infections (Streptococcus suis); and for all of the above mentioned hosts, infections by Mycoplasma spp.

The parent macrolides from which the compounds of this invention can be made are generally derivatized at the C-20 position with certain substituted amino groups. These derivatives are formed by reductive amination of the C-20 aldehyde group using reducing agents such as formic acid, sodium borohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium triacetoxyborohydride. The cyano derivative of the reductive amination products are inherently produced, in the reaction utilizing sodium cyanoborohydride, along with the non-cyano reductive amination product. Scheme I, below, shows a method to obtain the intermediate for compounds of this invention where m is 1. Schemes II and III, below, illustrate the general reductive aminations employed for obtaining the compounds of this invention. In Schemes I to III X is either ##STR17## corresponding to general formulas (I) and (II), respectively. ##STR18##
The compounds of the present invention, having the formula I or II, as defined above, are readily and generally prepared by reductive amination reactions of the appropriate macrolide, rosaramicin, repromicin, 5-mycaminosyltylonolide, desmycosin, lactenocin, O-demethyllactenosin, cirramycin A.sub.1, or 23-deoxymycaminosyltylonolide, with an amine, optionally followed by conversion to the acid addition salt as detailed below.
Derivatization of the parent macrolide at the C-23 position is carried out according to the method well known to those skilled in the art and as described in J. Antibiotics, 40(6), pp. 823-842, 1987, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The particular reaction conditions and reagents used to derivatize a compound of formula I or II at the C-20 position are dictated by the kind of amine that is used in the reaction. When secondary amines are used in the reductive amination, the following procedure is utilized. A solution of a macrolide, such as repromicin, is mixed with an excess, usually about 1.5 molar equivalent, of a secondary amine such as azetidine in a reaction inert solvent such as ethyl acetate. The reaction mixture is heated to about 60.degree. C. to 80.degree. C., preferably about 70.degree. C., with stirring. A slight excess of formic acid, usually about 1.1 molar equivalent, is added dropwise to the reaction mixture and the temperature of the reaction mixture is lowered by about 5.degree. C. The reaction is stirred for an additional four to seven hours, but usually for about five hours. The reaction is stopped by cooling to room temperature and the desired C-20 amino derivative of the macrolide is isolated by standard techniques well known to those skilled in the art, such as column chromatography or crystallization.
If the type of amine to be used in the reductive amination is a primary amine, then the following method is employed. A solution of sodium cyanoborohydride and the primary amine is made in a reaction-inert solvent such as methanol. The sodium cyanoborohydride is present at approximately four molar equivalents and the amine is present at about one molar equivalent of the macrolide. A methanol solution of the macrolide is added dropwise to the solution of sodium cyanoborohydride and the primary amine, and the mixture is stirred for about three to six hours, preferably about four hours. The desired C-20 amino derivative of the macrolide is isolated by standard techniques well known to those skilled in the art. The cyano derivative, where X.sup.1 is CN, is also produced in the reaction and can be isolated by standard techniques well known to those skilled in the art.
The cyano derivatives can also be synthesized separately by the following method. A solution of zinc iodide and an appropriate macrolide is made in methanol. Trimethylsilylcyanide is added to the methanol solution and is stirred for about 15 minutes then the appropriate amine is added and the solution is heated at about 40.degree. C. for about 2 hours. The desired cyano derivative is isolated by standard methods well known in the art.
A C-20 primary amino derivative of the macrolide, formed by the above method, can be further derivatized by N-methylating the secondary amino group at the C-20 position. This synthesis is carried out by suspending the C-20 secondary amino macrolide derivative in water and then adding formic acid. To the resulting solution, a 38% solution of aqueous formaldehyde is added and the reaction mixture is heated to reflux temperature. The reaction mixture is stirred at reflux for about four to six hours, preferably about five hours. It is then cooled to room temperature and the desired compound is isolated.
When a functionalized amine such as N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine is used for reductive amination, the following is a method of effecting a reductive amination. A methanol solution of the macrolide is mixed with the appropriate amine and stirred at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is then cooled to about 0.degree. C. and an equimolar amount of glacial acetic acid is added to the mixture and the reaction allowed to stir. After about ten minutes of stirring, a methanol solution of sodium cyanoborohydride is added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting solution is stirred for about one hour at about 0.degree. C. The reaction is stopped by warming to room temperature and concentrating the reaction mixture, and then the desired macrolide derivative is isolated. A preferred method of accomplishing the same type of reaction is as follows. To a stirring solution of the macrolide in methanol is added the appropriate amine and stirred for about 30 minutes. The solution is then cooled to about 0.degree. C. and sodium borohydride is added to it. After stirring for about 2 hours, the solution is concentrated to near dryness and the desired compound is isolated by conventional methods well known in the art.
A secondary amine at the C-20 position can be further functionalized with an amino acyl group according to the following procedure. A dichloromethane solution of a N-protected amino acid or N-protected dipeptide (t-BOC is one of the preferred protecting groups), or an O-protected hydroxyalkanoic acid (acetate is one of the preferred protecting groups), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and hydroxybenzotriazole (all of which are present in equimolar amounts) is cooled to about 0.degree. C. To the cold solution is added a C-20 secondary amino compound of formula I or II; wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen and R.sup.2 is as defined above. The solution is allowed to warm to room temperature and stirring is continued for about 48 to 72 hours. The crude product is isolated by conventional methods such as chromatography. The N-protected amino acyl, N-protected dipeptidyl or O-protected hydroxyalkanoyl derivative is deprotected by conventional methods to yield the desired product.
A compound of formula I or II wherein the C-20 position is an aminoalkylamino can be further derivatized at the terminal amine by an amino acyl group according to the following procedure. To a stirring solution of a compound of formula I or II having an aminoalkylamino group at the C-20 position in dimethylformamide is added a N-protected (t-BOC is preferred protecting group) amino acid hydroxysuccinimide ester, and the mixture is stirred for about 6 hours. The crude product is isolated by conventional methods such as silica gel chromatography. The N-protected amino acyl derivative is deprotected by conventional methods to yield the desired products.
The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the C-20 amino macrolide derivatives can be obtained by the following general procedure. For example, the HCl salts can be isolated by dissolving the C-20 amino macrolide derivative in a methanolic HCl solution and then evaporating the volatile components to yield the desired salt. The methanolic HCl solution can be prepared by mixing acetyl chloride with methanol. In addition to the HCl salts, other preferred pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include citrate, phosphate, sulfate, methanesulfonate, palmitate, succinate, lactate, malate, maleate, tartrate, besylate, fumarate and stearate salts. All of such salts are prepared in a method analogous to the method used to form the HCl salt, that is, by adding equivalent amounts of the appropriate acid to the base.
The starting macrolide rosaramicin is produced and isolated according to the method described by Wagman et al. In Journal of Antibiotics, Vol. XXV, No. 11, pp. 641-646, November 1972. Repromicin is synthesized from rosaramicin using the method taught by Ganguly et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,975,372. Desmycosin, lactenocin, O-demethyllactenocin and 23-deoxymycaminosyltylonolide are produced and isolated according to the method described in Journal of Antibiotics, 35(12), pp. 1675-1682, 1982. Cirramycin A.sub.1, is produced and isolated according to the method described in Journal of Antibiotics, 22, p. 61, 1969. The contents of the above references are incorporated herein by reference. All other starting materials and reagents required for the synthesis of the compounds of the present invention are readily available commercially or can be prepared according methods known in the literature.
The antibacterial activity of the compounds of the present invention against bacterial pathogens is demonstrated by the compound's ability to inhibit growth of Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella haemolytica. The following procedures are typical assays. Assay I is utilized to test for activity against Pasteurella multocida and Assay II is utilized to test for activity against Pasteurella haemolytica.
ASSAY I
(P. multocida)
This assay is based on the liquid dilution method in microliter format. A single colony of P. multocida (strain 59A067) is inoculated into 5 ml of brain heart infusion (BHI) broth. The test compounds are prepared by solubilizing 1 mg of the compound in 125 .mu.l of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Dilutions of the test compound are prepared using uninoculated BHI broth. The concentrations of the test compound used range from 200 .mu.g/ml to 0.098 .mu.g/ml by two-fold serial dilutions. The P. multocida inoculated BHI is diluted with uninoculated BHI broth to make a 10.sup.4 cell suspension per 200 .mu.l. The BHI cell suspensions are mixed with respective serial dilutions of the test compound, and incubated at 37.degree. C. for 18 hours. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is equal to the concentration of the compound exhibiting 100% inhibition of growth of P. multocida as determined by comparison with an uninoculated control.
ASSAY II
(P. haemolytica)
This assay is based on the agar dilution method using a Steers Replicator. Two to five colonies isolated from an agar plate are inoculated into BHI broth and incubated overnight at 37.degree. C. with shaking (200 rpm). The next morning, 300 .mu.l of the fully grown P. haemolytica preculture is inoculated into 3 ml of fresh BHI broth and is incubated at 37.degree. C. with shaking (200 rpm). The appropriate amounts of the test compounds are dissolved in ethanol and a series of two-fold serial dilutions are prepared. Two ml of the respective serial dilution is mixed with 18 ml of molten BHI agar and solidified. When the inoculated P. haemolytica culture reaches 0.5 McFarland standard density, about 5 .mu.l of the P. haemolytica culture is inoculated onto BHI agar plates containing the various concentrations of the test compound using a Steers Replicator and incubated for 18 hours at 37.degree. C. Initial concentrations of the test compound range from 100-200 .mu.g/ml. The MIC is equal to the concentration of the test compound exhibiting 100% inhibition of growth of P. haemolytica as determined by comparison with an uninoculated control.
The in vivo activity of the compounds of formula I or II can be determined by conventional animal protection studies well known to those skilled in the art, usually carried out in mice.
Mice are allotted to cages (10 per cage) upon their arrival, and allowed to acclimate for a minimum of 48 hours before being used. Animals are inoculated with 0.5 ml of a 3.times.10.sup.3 CFU/ml bacterial suspension (P. multocida strain 59A006) intraperitoneally. Each experiment has at least 3 non-medicated control groups including one infected with 0.1X challenge dose and two infected with 1X challenge dose; a 10X challenge data group may also be used. Generally, all mice in a given study can be challenged within 30-90 minutes, especially if a repeating syringe (such as a Cornwall.RTM. syringe) is used to administer the challenge. Thirty minutes after challenging has begun, the first compound treatment is given. It may be necessary for a second person to begin compound dosing if all of the animals have not been challenged at the end of 30 minutes. The routes of administration are subcutaneous or per os. Subcutaneous doses are administered into the loose skin in the back of the neck whereas oral doses are given by means of a feeding needle. In both cases, a volume of 0.2 ml is used per mouse. Compounds are administered 30 minutes, 4 hours, and 24 hours after challenge. A control compound of known efficacy administered by the same route is included in each test. Animals are observed daily, and the number of survivors in each group is recorded on the form provided. The P. multocida model monitoring continues for 96 hours (four days) post challenge. Surviving mice are asphyxiated with carbon dioxide at the end of the study.
The PD.sub.50 is a calculated dose at which the compound tested protects 50% of a group of mice from mortality due to the bacterial infection which would be lethal in the absence of drug treatment.
To implement the methods of this invention, an effective dose of a compound of formula I or II is administered to a susceptible or infected animal by parenteral (i.v., i.m. or s.c.), oral or topical route. The effective dose will vary with the severity of the disease, and the age, weight and condition of the animal. However, the dose will usually range from about 0.25 to about 150 mg/kg, preferably from about 0.25 to about 25 mg/kg.
A suitable vehicle for administering the dose parenterally is a solution of the compound in steril water, or a solution of the compound in a solvent comprising at least 50% water and a pharmaceutically acceptable cosolvent or cosolvents such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, glycerol, carbonate esters like diethyl carbonate, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, and the like. Suspensions are also suitable vehicles for administering the compounds of this invention. The suspending medium can be, for example, aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose, inert oils such as peanut oil, highly refined mineral oils, aqueous polyvinylpyrrolidone and so forth. Suitable physiologically acceptable adjuvants may be necessary to maintain the compound in suspension. These adjuvants may be chosen from among thickeners such as carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, and the alginates. Surfactants are also useful as suspending agents. These surfactants include: lethicin, alkylphenol polyethylene oxide adducts, naphthalenesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates and polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters. Agents affecting surface tension can also help in making useful suspensions. Such agents include silicone antifoams, sorbitol, and sugars. For intravenous use the total concentration of solutes should be controlled to render the preparation isotonic.
Thus in a further aspect the invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the formula (I) or (II) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
This invention also provides a method of treating a bacterial infection or a mycoplasmic infection in an animal in need thereof which method comprises administering to said animal a bacterial or mycoplasmic treating amount of a compound of the formula (I) or (II) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
The present invention is illustrated by the following examples, but is not limited to the details thereof. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) retention times of the products of this invention are determined on a Zorbax RX.RTM., 5 micron C8 column (4.6 mm ID.times.15 cm length) from Dupont (available from Mac-Mod Analytical Inc., 127 Commons Court, Chadds Ford, Pa. 19317 1-800-441-7508). A 45:55 (vol:vol) mixture of acetonitrile to aqueous 50 millimolar ammonium acetate is used as the eluant. The column temperature is maintained at 40.degree. C. and the flow rate is 1.0 ml per minute. Samples are dissolved in the eluant (2 mg/ml) and are injected (70 .mu.l) into a Hewlett-Packard 1090 high performance liquid chromatography instrument; peaks corresponding to the sample input are detected by ultraviolet spectroscopy at either 254 or 280 nm.

EXAMPLE 1
(Method A)
20-(Azetidin-1-yl)-20-deoxorepromicin dihydrochloride
A solution of repromicin (6.61 g, 11.69 mmol), azetidine (1.00 g, 17.51 mmol) and 225 ml of ethyl acetate was heated to 70.degree. C. with stirring. Formic acid (0.591 g, 12.8 mmol) was added dropwise to the solution, and the temperature was lowered to 65.degree. C. Stirring and heating was continued for five hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was washed twice with 250 ml portions of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and then washed once with 200 ml of saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The combined aqueous washes were extracted with four 100 ml portions of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and then evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 6.56 g of crude product as a yellow foam. This material was taken up in 100 ml of hot diethyl ether; insolubles were filtered and saved. The filtrate was treated with 300 ml of hot hexane, and again the resulting insoluble matter was filtered and saved. The filtrate was concentrated to about 75 ml by boiling off excess solvent. The resulting solution was allowed to cool to room temperature, and then cooled further to 5.degree. C. for several hours. A colorless precipitate of 20-(azetidin-1-yl)-20-deoxorepromicin formed, yield 2.58 g (36%); m/e 607.4 (theory 607); HPLC retention time (RT): 12.91 minutes. The filtrate from the initial product was combined with the insolubles that were saved, and the mixture was then chromatographed on 450 cc of silica gel. Elution with 1:9 methanol/dichloromethane containing 1% ammonium hydroxide afforded 1.88 g (27%) of additional product for a total yield of 63% of the free base. Acetyl chloride (1.15 g, 14.66 mmol) was added dropwise to 75 ml of methanol, and the solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for 75 minutes. To this methanolic HCl solution was added 4.45 g (7.33 mmol) of 20-(azetidin-1-yl)-20-deoxorepromicin. The resulting pale yellow solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for two hours. The volatile components were evaporated and the residue was dried under reduced pressure to give 5.24 g of the title compound.

The resulting solution was stirred for four hours and then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using 1:9 methanol/dichloromethane containing 1% ammonium hydroxide as the eluant. Isolation yielded 0.910 g (41%) of the free base of the title compound, m/e, 691.3; HPLC RT: 23.36 minutes. Acetyl chloride (0.24 ml, 0.265 g, 3.38 mmol) was added dropwise to 15 ml of methanol, and the solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for 45 minutes. To this solution of methanolic HCl was added 0.825 g (1.21 mmol) of 20-(3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]non-3-yl)-20-deoxorosaramicin. The resulting pale yellow solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for two hours.
