Derivatives of penem

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to new derivatives of penem and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof having an excellent antibiotic activity.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In general, infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms which are fixed in a certain portion of a living body and propagate therein and take place local reactions, when the microorganism accidentally penetrates into the living body and so forth. One of effective therapies for infectious diseases is to administrate an antibiotic to patients suffering from such disease. As such effective antibiotics conventionally used widely, there have been known such as penicillin, cephalosporin antibiotics having a wide antibacterial spectrum and these antibiotics have widely been used for treating various kinds of infectious diseases and exhibited an excellent effect.
Thus, in most of cases, the pathogenic microorganisms are eradicated by the action of a chemotherapeutic agent and patients are recovered. However, it is well known that a microorganism causing the corresponding infectious disease sometimes acquires resistance to the medicine, therefore if it is used for a long period of time and this becomes an inevitable problem in chemotherapy.
As a result, the antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics have not sufficiently been satisfiable in antibacterial spectrum, antibacterial activity, behavior in the body to which antibiotic is administered or safety, due to the appearance of the resistant bacteria during the long term and wide-spread application thereof.
Under such circumstances, an antibiotic called thienamycin was developed (see J. P. Laid-Open No. 73191/76), which shows sensitivity against bacteria resistant to penicillins and cephalosporin antibiotics and then studies on the synthesis of carbapenem derivatives and other penem derivatives having a skeletal structure similar to that of carbapenem have energetically been effected. However, these conventionally developed or synthesized carbapenem or penem antibiotics are not satisfied because of different drawbacks such that they are all physicochemically unstable and easily suffer from the enzymatic decomposition by emzymes such as dehydropeptidase in the kidney and further they have a rather low and insufficient solubility to water. Thus, there has not yet been developed even one highly valuable or effective medicine.
BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
As mentioned above, it is quite effective to use antibiotics in the treatment of infectious diseases. However, there is a difficulty such as the appearance of the resistant bacteria which is inevitable problem involved in the chemotherapy utilizing antibiotics. That is, the antibiotics conventionally developed have gradually been insufficient in their antibacterial spectrum accompanied by the appearance of resistance bacteria. This problem is also encountered in the case of penicillins and cephalosporin antibiotics which have been expected to have relatively wide antibacterial spectrum and used widely.
Thus, there is a great demand for the development of a new medicine effective to these bacteria resistant to the antibiotics mentioned above and having a wide antibacterial spectrum and a various kind of materials have been proposed hitherto. However, none of them satisfies above mentioned requirements for these new medicine.
Therefore, the principle purpose of this invention is to provide new derivatives of penem.
Another purpose of the present invention is to provide new derivatives of penem effective to bacteria resistant to penicillins and cephalosporin antibiotics and having excellent physico-chemical properties.

DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
The derivatives of penem represented by the general formula (I) according to the present invention show an extremely wide antibacterial spectrum and as a result they have a strong antibacterial activity against gram positive and negative bacteria and aerobic and anaerobic bacteria as well as the bacteria resistant to penicillins and cephalosporin antibiotics. Moreover, the derivatives of penem according to the present invention have a remarkable solubility to water and a good physicochemical stability and further they hardly suffer from decomposition by enzyme such as dehydropeptidase I of kidney or -lactamase. Thus, they can effectively be used as antibacterial medicine since they have a wide antibacterial spectrum and high biochemical stability and safety.
In the general formula (I), preferred penem derivatives or the salts thereof according to the present invention are those having the following substituents R.sub.1 , R.sub.2 and R.sub.3. First of all, the preferred examples of R.sub.1 are hydrogen, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl or n-butyl which may have a hydroxyl group. Preferred R.sub.2 may be a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, a lower alkoxy C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl such as methoxymethyl, methoxyethyl, a lower aliphatic acyloxymethyl such as pivaloyloxymethyl, phthalidyl, 5-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl-1, 3-dioxol-2-one-4-yl methyl. The substituent R.sub.2 may also act as the group for protecting carboxyl group when preparing the derivatives of the present invention and may be an ester residue, easily removable under a mild condition, for example, aralkyl such as o-nitrobenzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, benzhydril or 2-naphthylmethyl, allyl or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl silyl such as trimethyl silyl.
Moreover, COOR.sub.2 may be a carboxylate anion depending on the kind of the substituent R.sub.3 of the derivative according to this invention, which corresponds to the case where the carboxyl group situated at 3-position of penem is in the form of carboxylate anion as the counter ion of R.sub.3. For instance, if R.sub.3 is a quaternary nitrogen containing heterocyclic ring, the carboxyl group at 3-position may be in the form of a carboxylate anion which is a counter ion thereto. In addition, if the derivatives are salts with strong acids, in other words when the counterion of quaternary nitrogen is an anion of strong acid, R.sub.2 may be hydrogen, and therefore in this case the derivatives have characteristic properties as if it were a betaine compound (quaternary ammonium compound). Thus, the acid addition salts of the compounds (I) may be represented by the following general formula: ##STR8## wherein X.sup.- means an anion of an acid.
While if R.sub.3 is a basic group, COOR.sub.2 may be either carboxyl or carboxylate anion depending on the conditions of environment (in particular pH) surrounding the compounds, or COOR.sub.2 may be in a equilibrium state between these two states. This means that the derivative may be in the form of so-called zwitter ion and therefore, it should be understood that the compound of the formula (I) includes such compounds having a zwitter ionic structure.
The preferred examples of substituent R.sub.4 include the followings (in the formula, m means 1, 2 or 3, n means 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, v means 0, 1 or 2, w means 0, 1, 2 or 3, Y means O, S or NH, Y.sub.1, Y.sub.2, Y.sub.3 and Y.sub.4 each means N, NH, O or S):
a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl such as methyl, ethyl, ispropyl and butyl,
a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenyl such as vinyl, allyl, isopropenyl, 1-propenyl, 2-butenyl and 1, 3-butadienyl,

Preferred examples of the penem derivatives according to the present invention are such that the substituents R.sub.3 is a member selected from the group consisting of groups represented by the formula: ##STR20## wherein A is nitrogen or carbon and R.sub.4 has the same meaning as defined above and more preferably, R.sub.4 is selected from the group consisting of --CH.sub.3, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, --(CH.sub.2).sub.3 CH.sub.3, ##STR21##
In the penem derivatives of the invention, the preferred are those having the following bycycloheterocyclic group (R.sub.3) in which m equals to 1: ##STR22##
Among the penem derivatives of the formula (I), those having the substituent R.sub.3 including an asymmetric carbon or carbons, contain stereoisomers. For instance, when there is one asymmetric carbon atom in R.sub.3, two isomers should be present. Then, one of them will hereunder be referred to "isomer A" and the other referred to "isomer B". Moreover, in the case where R.sub.3 has an asymmetric carbon atom as well as substituent R.sub.4, position isomers may be present other than stereoisomers. In such case, they are expressed as "isomer A" to "isomer D" and so forth.
In the general formula (I), it is preferred that the steric configuration of the carbon atom at 5-position should be in R configuration which corresponds to that of natural penicillin and that there may be mentioned such as hydrogen and 1-hydroxy-ethyl group as the preferred examples of substituent R.sub.1. The most preferred are such that the steric configuration of carbon atom at 6-position to which R.sub.1 such as 1-hydroxyethyl group is bonded is in S configuration and that the steric configuration of the carbon atom at 8-position to which hydroxyl group is attached is in R configuration as in the case of thienamycin.
Furthermore, the most preferred substituent R.sub.2 is hydrogen or an anion charge and the preferred examples of ester residue metabolisable are such as pivaloyloxymethyl, phthalidyl, 5-methyl-1, 3-dioxol-2-one-4-yl methyl. Groups such as p-Nitrobenzyl, allyl may preferably be used as the protective group for carboxyl group of the compound (I) when preparing the same.
In addition, the compound according to the present invention and a certain intermediates thereof may be in the form of tautomerism. Therefore, the scope of this invention is appreciated to include such tautomeric form, although the structural formula herein disclosed has not been described so as to include such structures.
As the preferred examples of R.sub.3, there may be mentioned such as: ##STR23##
Thus, most preferred penem derivatives according to the present invention are those represented by the following general formulas: ##STR24## wherein R.sub.2 is H or COOR.sub.2 means a carboxylate anion, R.sub.4 is --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --CH.sub.2 CN, --CH.sub.2 --.tbd.CH, --CH.sub.2 --CO--CH.sub.3, or --CH.sub.2 --CO --NH.sub.2 ; ##STR25## wherein R.sub.2 is hydrogen or represents carboxylate anion as COOR.sub.2 and R.sub.4 is methyl; and ##STR26## wherein R.sub.2 is H or represents carboxylate anion as COOR.sub.2 and R.sub.4 is methyl group.

The pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention may be administered through various manner such as oral administration, intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, or parenteral administration. They are preferably in the form of unit dose suitable to a particular mode of administration. Therefore, they may be in the form of tablets, pills, capsules, granules, injections, suppository or the like known per se. The daily dose of the compound of this invention, in general, falls within the range of 250 mg to 3,000 mg with respect to adult, which are subjected to divided administration. However, the dose may vary depending on various factors such as age, sex, conditions to be treated.

The penem derivatives of the present invention can effectively and easily be prepared according to a method such as described in the following reaction scheme. ##STR28##
(i) First Step
The starting material (IV), which is one of penem derivative, may easily be prepared according to a known method (see, for example, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1982, 104, 138) or an improved method thereof. In the formula (IV), R.sub.1 has the same meaning as defined above, R.sub.2 ' is an ester residue disclosed above in the definition of R.sub.2 and R.sub.5 represents an organic group, for instance, an alkyl, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl such as ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, an aryl such as phenyl, tolyl, an aralkyl such as benzyl, methyl benzyl, chlorobenzyl, phenethyl.
The penem derivative (IV) is oxidized, in a suitable medium, with an oxidizing agent such as perbenzoic acid, m-chloro-perbenzoic acid, peracetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, selenium dioxide, ozone or sodium metaperidic acid, preferably m-chloro-perbenzoic acid, to form sulfoxide derivatives (II) in a high yield (in the formula (II), a wavy arrow attached to sulfur atom means the fact that the resulting compound comprises a mixture of stereoisomers). The resulting sulfoxide derivative composed of mixed isomers may suitably be used in the subsequent second step without carrying out the separation of isomers. As the solvent which may be used in this reaction, there may be mentioned such as halogenated hydrocarbons, for instance, dichloromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol; ketones such as acetone, methylethylketone; acetic acid; pyridine, N,N-dimethylformamide (hereunder referred to as DMF), acetamide, dimethylsulfoxide (hereunder referred to as DMSO), water, phosphate buffer and a mixture thereof. Preferred examples thereof include solvents which do not have a harmful effect on reactants and reaction products. The first step can be carried out at a temperature of from -50.degree. C. to 50.degree. C., however, it is preferable to carry out the reaction at a rather mild temperature condition such as -30.degree. C. to room temperature. The first step is, in general, continued for 5 minutes to 4 hours, however, it is usually sufficient to continue the reaction for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
(ii) Second Step
In this step, the sulfoxide derivative (II) obtained in the first step is subjected to a substitution reaction with a thiol compound (III) (in which R.sub.3 is the same as defined above) or an acid addition salt or an reactive derivative thereof. In this step, organic solvent such as DMF, DMSO, tetrahydrofuran (hereunder referred to as THF), hexamethylphosphotriamide (hereunder referred to as HMPA) and a mixture thereof which do not affect on reactants and products, can be used as the reaction medium. The reaction temperature, in general, falls within the range of from -50.degree. C. to room temperature, preferably -30.degree. C. to 0.degree. C. While the reaction period generally falls within the range of from 15 minutes to 2 hours, in particular, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
The reactivity of the thiol compound (III) may be improved by coexisting a base during reaction procedure and thus, the reaction proceeds in good rate and yield. However, it is a matter of course that the reaction proceeds without a base. As such base, there may be mentioned such as alkylamines, for example, triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine; alicyclic amines such as 1,8-diaza-bicyclo [5,4,0]-7-undecene (hereunder referred to as DBU), N-methylmorpholine; inorganic bases such as hydroxide and carbonate of sodium and potassium; metal alcoholates such as potassium tert-butoxide, sodium methoxide; sodium amide, sodium hydride and among others, diisopropylethyl amine and DBU are preferably used.
Examples of reactive derivatives of thiol compound (III) include thiolate compounds represented by the general formula (III'):
MS--R.sub.3 (III')
wherein M is an alkali metal and R.sub.3 has the same meaning as define above. In this substitution reaction, the thiol compound of the formula (III) or acid addition salt or active derivative thereof is, in general, used in an amount of from 1 to 3 eq. with respect to the sulfoxide derivative (II), preferably 1 to 2 eq. While the base is preferably used in an amount equivalent to that of thiol compound (III). When the thiol compound (III) is an acid addition salt thereof, the excellent result may be expected to use the base in an excess amount such that the added acid may be neutralized.
The product resulting from the above substitution reaction may be isolated according to any one of conventional post-treatments.
(iii) Third Step
If the resulting product substituted has a protective group, the group may eventually be removed. The removal of the protective group may be effected according to reductive decomposition by hydrogenation, chemical reduction, hydrolysis with an acid, a base or an enzyme or the like.
When R.sub.2 in the formula (I) is an ester residue in particular, p-nitrobenzyl, benzhydryl, 2-naphthylmethyl or the like, the removal of protective group can effectively be carried out by catalytic reduction utilizing palladium supported by carbon, platinum oxide or any one of other known catalysts to obtain penem derivatives represented by the formula (I) in which COOR.sub.2 is carboxyl group or carboxylate anion. In this step, reaction solvent such as dioxane, THF, water, a buffer or a mixture thereof, in particular, water-containing THF, water-containing dioxane, phosphate buffer-THF mixture may be utilizable, and the reaction is effected under a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 4 atms, at a temperature of from 0 to 50.degree. C., preferably 10 to 30.degree. C. for 30 minutes to 16 hours, preferably 1 to 4 hours. While if R.sub.2 in the formula (I) is p-nitrobenzyl group, the removal of the protective group is effected by reacting the product with ammonium chloride aqueous solution and iron powder, in a water soluble solvent such as THF, dioxane; if R.sub.2 is allyl group, it may be removed by reacting the product with tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (0), triphenylphosphine and 2-ethylhexanoic acid in an aprotic solvent such as THF, methylene chloride; when R.sub.2 is 2,2,2-trichloroethyl group, it may also be removed by reducing the product with zinc powder and thus, the objective product, in which COOR.sub.2 is carboxyl or carboxylate anion depending on the case, can be prepared.
Some of the products resulting from the substitution reaction (the step (ii)) may eventually be difficult to isolate them from each other because of their properties. Therefore, if it is intended to obtain compounds (I) in which COOR.sub.2 is carboxyl or carboxylate anion, a good result can often be attained by removing the protective group in the same reactor as used to carry out the reaction without isolating the intermediate product resulting from the substitution reaction or removing it after subjecting the product to a simple currently used post-treatment. This is a particularly simple method and provides an excellent yield and quality of the product obtained. In addition, it permits the formation of objective product in a large scale without employing complex operations.
As seen from the above, the resulting product, in the third step may further be subjected to introduction of the substituent R.sub.4, according to need, to obtain penem derivatives (I) in which R.sub.3 is a quaternary nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group. The introduction of R.sub.4 may be effected according to any one of conventional techniques, for example, alkylation in which conventional alkylating agents such as C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl halides, for instance, methyl iodide, ethyl iodide; bromofluoroethane, dimethyl sulfate or diethyl sulfate is used and other identical techniques using, for example, a halide of the corresponding R.sub.4. Moreover, preferred examples of solvent for alkylation reaction are acetone, acetonitrile, THF, dioxane or the mixture thereof. However, the compound having the substituent R.sub.4 may be prepared by a process other than the third step using a raw-material HS-R.sub.3 (III) in which R.sub.4 was preliminarily introduced.
When R.sub.3 in the formula (I) is a quaternary nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group, the objective compounds can be obtained, in a good yield, by alkylating the product of the step (ii) and then removing the protective group according to need.
The objective compounds of the formula (I) thus prepared may be isolated and purified according to any one of conventional techniques. That is, the product is, for example, isolated by extraction and concentration, and then it can be purified according to recrystallization, reprecipitation, chromatography. In general, the compounds (I) may be crystallized to purify the same. For this purpose, it is effective or preferable to convert the compound to its salt form. In this case, the salt must not be non-toxic acid addition salt. The product is first crystallized as a toxic salt to purify and then the acid is removed or the toxic salt is exchanged to pharmaceutically acceptable salt (this can be effected by exchanging counterions in the case of quaternary ammonium salt), whereby a high purity objective compound may be prepared.
Esters, which may be expected to be metabolized in a living body, may be prepared according to a method which is usually employed to form esters of penicillins or cephalosporins, which comprises esterifying the compounds (I) in which the substituent COOR.sub.2 thereof is carboxyl or carboxylate anion.
In the present invention, the thiol compounds represented by the general formula (III) already disclosed are also new compounds and useful as the intermediate compounds for preparing penem derivatives of the formula (I). Therefore, it should be appreciated that these intermediate compounds fall within the scope of this invention.

The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the following illustrative examples In the following examples and reference examples, the following abbreviations are used for simplicity PNB p-nitrobenzyl; PMB: p-methoxybenzyl; Me: methyl; Et: ethyl; Ar: phenyl; Ts: p-toluene sulfonic acid residue; BOC: tert-butoxycarbonyl

The compound (171 mg) obtained in Example 1-(1) was dissolved in 15 ml of anhydrous acetone and 1.06 g of N-methylbromoacetamide was added thereto at the room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 40 hours and after addition of 0.53 g of N-methylbromoacetamide, the resulting mixture was stirred for additional 22 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was washed with diethylether two times and dried to obtain 298 mg of yellow gummy substance. This was dissolved in 25 ml of 50% water-tetrahydrofuran and 3.40 g of ammonium chloride was added thereto. 1.70 g of iron powder(100 mesh) was added to the mixture while stirring vigorously under room temperature and the resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at room temperature and additional 90 minutes under ice-cooling. The unsoluble substance was removed by filtration using celite. The filtrate was concentrated to about 5 ml under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography using 35 ml of Diaion HP-20. After removing the fraction flowed out with 150 ml of water, the fraction eluting with 100 ml of 5% THF-water was collected. This was concentrated to about 5 ml under reduced pressure and purified by HPLC(solvent:7% acetonitrile-water, flow rate: 3.65 ml/minute). Fractions corresponded to the retention time of 16 minutes and 21 minutes were collected and each fraction was concentrated under reduced pressure and lyophilized to obtain 33 mg of the object isomer A and 33 mg of the object isomer B, respectively.
