DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Compounds of the present invention are made by either of the two following methods.
In a first alternative method, detailed by Reaction Scheme I, a compound of structural formula II is reacted with an appropriately substituted fluorophenyl compound of structural formula III to produce compounds of the present invention. Compound II is condensed with the appropriately substituted fluorophenyl compound by reaction in polar organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate. In structural formulas I, II, and III below, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, and R.sub.5 are as defined above. ##STR4##
Compounds of structural formula II may be prepared by methods detailed in Reaction Scheme II. In the structural formulas given below, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, and R.sub.5 are as defined above.
Uracil or a 6-lower-alkyl-substituted-uracil is brominated in acetic acid at a temperature ranging from ambient to 50.degree. C. for 15-20 hours to provide the 5-bromo-analog. Condensation of the 5-bromouracil derivative with 1-benzylpiperazine is conducted in the presence of potassium fluoride, preferably at temperatures of between 100.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. for periods ranging between about 48-72 hours.
The resulting piperazine-substituted uracil is chlorinated by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride in the presence of a base such as N,N-dimethylaniline under reflux for a period of from about 2-10 hours. The chlorine substituents are replaced by amine groups, preferably by treatment with ammonia in ethanol at temperatures of between 130.degree. C.-170.degree. C. for periods of between about 12-18 hours.
The benzyl blocking group is removed from the piperazine moiety by hydrogenolysis over palladium/charcoal catalyst in acetic acid to produce compounds having structural formula II.
Compounds of structural formula II are believed by the applicants to comprise a novel class of compounds serving as intermediates in the formation of the active antibacterial compounds of this invention. Thus, compounds of structure II where R.sub.1 is hydrogen or alkyl of from one to six carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently hydrogen or methyl are also contemplated as falling within the scope of the present invention.
The appropriately substituted fluorophenyl compounds of structural formula III are prepared by methods well known to practitioners of the organic chemical arts. ##STR5##
In the particular case where compound III is a cyano- or dicyanofluorobenzene, the cyano group or groups may be converted to compounds in accordance with the present invention in which R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are carboxyl, carboxylic acid salt, and carboalkoxy (ester group) by acidic hydrolysis of the cyano group to the carboxylic acid group followed, if desired, by salt formation with a pharmaceutically acceptable metal or amine cation, or esterification with an alcohol.
Alternatively, the carboxylic acid is converted to the amide or aminoacid amide by reaction with the desired amine or aminoacid by methods well known in the organic chemical art.
In an alternative method for preparing compounds of the present invention, detailed by Reaction Scheme III, 5-bromouracil or a lower alkyl-substituted-5-bromouracil (IV) is reacted with a phenyl-substituted derivative of 1,4-piperazine of structural formula V to produce compounds of structural formula VI. Compounds of formula VI are subsequently converted to compounds in accordance with the present invention by halogenation and amination. In the structural formulas given below, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, and R.sub.5 are as defined above. ##STR6##
By the term "alkyl group" as used throughout this specification and claims, unless otherwise specified in a particular instance, is meant both straight carbon chain and branched carbon chain groups. By the term "alkoxy" or "alkoxy" group is meant an alkyl group as previously defined, attached to the parent molecule through a single oxygen atom. Alkoxyl groups can be thought of as derived from an alcohol by removal of the alcoholic hydrogen atom. Such groups include, for example, methoxyl (--OCH.sub.3), ethoxyl (--OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.3), and the like. By the term "alkanoyl" is meant an alkyl group as previously defined, attached to the parent molecule through a carbonyl group (i.e., ##STR7## Alkanoyl groups can be thought of as derived from an aldehyde by removal of the aldehydic hydrogen atom. Such groups include, for example, formyl, acetyl, propionyl, etc.
By the term "carboalkoxy" or "carboalkoxyl" as used herein is meant the carboxyl group of an organic acid, esterified with a lower alcohol. Such groups include, for example, carbomethoxy, carboethoxy, etc.
The compounds of the present invention, where R.sub.4 and/or R.sub.5 are acidic functions, form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with organic and inorganic bases. Examples of suitable inorganic bases are ammonium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are also formed with amine cations derived from organic nitrogenous bases strong enough to form cations.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the acid are prepared by, for example, suspending the acid in water and adjusting the pH with the pharmaceutically acceptable base, or by reacting the compound with one equivalent of the pharmaceutically acceptable base in a solvent and removing the solvent under reduced pressure.
The term, pharmaceutically acceptable metal cation contemplates the positively charged ions derived from such metals as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, and the like. The salts are prepared by contacting the free form of the compound with an equivalent amount of the desired base in the conventional manner. The free forms may be regenerated by treating the salt form with an acid. For example dilute aqueous acid solutions may be utilized to regenerate the free form from a respective salt. Dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid is suitable for this purpose. The free forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to their respective free base forms for purposes of the invention.
The term pharmaceutically acceptable amine cation contemplates the positively charged ammonium ion and analogous ions derived from organic nitrogenous bases strong enough to form such cations. Bases useful for the purpose of forming pharmacologically acceptable nontoxic addition salts of such compounds containing free carboxyl groups form a class whose limits are readily understood by those skilled in the art. Merely for illustration, they can be said to comprise, in cationic form, those of the formula: ##STR8## wherein R.sub.a, R.sub.b, and R.sub.c, independently, are hydrogen, alkyl of from about one to about six carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of from about three to about six carbon atoms, aryl of about six carbon atoms, aralkyl of from about 7 to about 11 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl of from about 2 to about 4 carbon atoms, or monoarylhydroxyalkyl of from about 8 to about 15 carbon atoms, or, when taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, any two of R.sub.a, R.sub.b, and R.sub.c may form part of a 5- to 6-membered heterocyclic ring containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen, said heterocyclic rings and said aryl groups being unsubstituted or mono- or dialkyl substituted said alkyl groups containing from about one to about six carbon atoms.
The compounds of the invention form pharmaceutically acceltable salts with both organic and inorganic acids. Examples of suitable acids for salt formation are hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, fumaric, succinic, ascorbic, maleic, methanesulfonic, isethionic, lactic, gluconic, glucuronic, sulfamic, benzoic, tartaric, pamoic, and the like. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with an equivalent amount of the desired acid in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt form with a base. For example, dilute aqueous base solutions may be utilized. Dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonia, and sodium bicarbonate solutions are suitable for this purpose. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to their respective free base forms for purposes of the invention.
The compounds of the invention can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms, with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol and the like are equivalent to the unsolvated forms for purposes of the invention.
For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablet disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compound. In the tablet the active compound is mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 or 10 to about 70 percent of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration.
Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and other well-known suspending agents.
Topical preparations include dusting powders, creams, lotions, gels, and sprays. These various topical preparations may be formulated by well known procedures. See for example Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chapter 43, 14th ed. 1970, Mack Publishing Co., Easton Pa. 18042, USA.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself or it can be the appropriate number of any of these packaged form.
The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from 50 mg to 500 mg according to the particular application and the potency of the active ingredient.
In therapeutic use as antibiotic and antifungal agents the compounds utilized in the pharmaceutical method of this invention are administered at the initial dosage of about 0.1 mg to about 50 mg per kilogram. A dose range of about 0.5 mg to about 10 mg per kilogram is preferred. The dosages, however, may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired.
The active compounds may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions of the active compound as a free base or pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof and vegetable oils. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredient into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of the sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and the freeze-drying technique which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.
As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be incorporated into the compositions.
It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for the mammalian subjects to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the novel dosage unit forms of the invention are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristics of the active material and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitation inherent in the art of compounding such an active material for the treatment of disease in living subjects having a diseased condition in which bodily health is impaired as herein disclosed in deta 1.
The principal active ingredient is compounded for convenient and effective administration in effective amounts with a suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier in dosage unit form as hereinbefore disclosed. A unit dosage form can, for example, contain the principal active compound in amounts ranging from about 0.1 to about 500 mg, with from about 0.5 to about 250 mg being preferred. Expressed in proportions, the active compound is generally present in from about 0.1 to about 500 mg/ml of carrier. In the case of compositions containing supplementary active ingredients, the dosages are determined by reference to the usual dose and the manner of administration of the said ingredients. The daily parenteral doses for mammalian subjects to be treated ranges from 0.1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg. The preferred daily dosage range is 0.3 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg.
The following nonlimiting examples illustrate the inventors' preferred methods for preparing the compounds of the invention.
The compounds of the invention display antimicrobial and antitumor activity when assayed by standard test procedures.

In addition to their usefulness as antileukemic agents, certain of the compounds of the invention display in vitro activity against solid tumors when tested by the following procedure.
HCT-8 (human colon adenocarcinoma) cells are trypsinized using Trypsin-EDTA. A single cell suspension is achieved by passing the cells through a 26 gauge needle with a 20 cc syringe. A cell suspension is prepared using RPMI 1640+10% FCS+50 .mu.g/ml garamycin with a cell concentration of approximately 30,000 cells/ml. The cell suspension is dispensed in Linbro 24-well plates; 1 ml/well. The plates are incubated for approximately 48 hours at 37.degree. C. in a 5% CO.sub.2 atmosphere. At this time test compounds are added in the appropriate concentration. Five .mu.l of the 200 .mu.g/ml stock solution is added to each well in a primary test. Ten .mu.l of the appropriate dilution is added to each well for a titration test. The plates are reincubated an additional 60-65 hours at 37.degree. C. in a 5% CO.sub.2 atmosphere. The test is read by lysing the cells using a mix of cationic surfactant, glacial acetic acid and sodium chloride. Two ml of the lysed cell suspension from each well is added to 8 ml of diluent. Each sample is read on the Coulter counter (ZBI model). The activity of each sample is measured as a percentage of the controls and the data is reported as ID.sub.50, that is the molar quantity of drug required to kill 50% of the tumor cells.

The in vivo lymphocytic leukemia P388 test is carried out using the test system of the United States National Cancer Institute. The animals used are either male or female CD.sub.2 F.sub.1 mice. There are six to seven animals per test group. The tumor transplant is by intraperitoneal injection of dilute ascitic fluid containing cells of lymphocytic leukemia P388. The test compounds are administered intraperitoneally in two single doses with a four-day interval between doses at various dose levels following tumor inoculation. The animals are weighed and survivors are recorded on a regular basis for 30 days. A ratio of survival time for treated (T)/control (C) animals is calculated. The criterion for efficacy is T/C.times.100>125%. The positive control compound in this test is 5-fluorouracil. See Cancer Chemotherapy Reports, Part 3, 3, 1 (1972) for a comprehensive discussion of the protocol.

The compounds of the invention are new chemical substances of value as pharmacological agents for the treatment of bacterial infections in warm-blooded animals. They may also be utilized as antiseptic agents such as for use in the sterilization of laboratory glassware, etc. The antibacterial activity of representative compounds of the invention was established by the screening procedure described below.
Preparation of bacterial inocula
Vegetative bacterial isolates are maintained on agar slants or in liquid media, hereby designated as inoculum media. The cultures are transferred at regular intervals in such media. (See Table IV for the corresponding inoculum media of each culture.) The organisms are generally transferred either onto agar slants or into liquid inoculum media and incubated at 37.degree. C. (at 28.degree. C. with Xanthomonas sp.) overnight (18-20 hours).
The microbial cells from the overnight agar slants are then scraped off and suspended in saline solution (0.85% NaCl). The microbial concentrations are adjusted to a light transmission of 8.6% using a PerkinElmer Model 35 spectrophotometer (550 nm). For the organisms that are maintained in liquid media, one of two procedures is followed: (1) the culture suspension is first centrifuged at 5000 rpm for five minutes. The pellet is resuspended in 0.85% saline to 8.6% light transmittancy; (2) an aliquot of the culture suspension is to be added directly to the assay medium.
Isolate spore suspensions (Bacillus sp.) are maintained at 4.degree. C. These suspensions serve as the inoculum media for assays.
Preparation of assay plates
A given molten-agar assay medium, maintained in a flask at approximately 45.degree. C., is inoculated with 0.16-10 ml of an appropriate cell or spore suspension per 100 ml of medium. Fifty ml of the inoculated medium is poured into a Bio-Assay dish (A/S Nunc; Gibco Laboratories Catalog Number 240835) and spread evenly across the bottom, then allowed to solidify at room temperature. Each agar dish is inverted and refrigerated until used.
Disking of samples
The compounds or samples to be tested are dissolved in suitable solvents, e.g., alcohols, dimethylsulfoxide, or N,N-dimethylformamide. The samples are generally dissolved so that the final concentration of the solvent is <10%.* The compounds are tested at different concentrations: 3,000; 1,000; 500; 100; and 10 mcg/ml. Paper discs (12.7 mm diameter) saturated with a given concentration of test compound are placed onto the seeded agar dishes with a pair of forceps. (*If the compound does not stay in solution at <10% alcohol, then the full strength alcohol is used. However, the impregnated discs are air-dried before they are laid on to the seeded agar plates.)
Interpretation of results
The disked agar dishes are incubated at 37.degree. C. (28.degree. C. for Xanthamonas sp.) for 18-20 hours. Active compounds show a zone of inhibition around the disc. The diameter of the zone is measured in mm. The zone diameter of active compounds ranges from a minimum of 13.5 mm to as high as 60 mm. The size of the zone diameter generally reflects the activity of the compound: the larger the zone the greater the activity.
