DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new antibiotics. In particular, this invention relates to ester derivatives of OMT and to their acid addition salts. This invention also relates to methods of treating certain infections with, methods of promoting growth in animals with, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the specified ester derivatives of OMT and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts.
New, improved antibiotics are continually in demand. In addition to antibiotics which are useful for treating human diseases, improved antibiotics are also needed in the veterinary field. Increased potency, expanded spectrum of bacterial inhibition, increased in vivo efficacy, and improved pharmaceutical properties (such as greater oral absorption, higher blood or tissue concentrations, longer body half life, and more advantageous rate or route of excretion and rate or pattern of metabolism) are some of the goals for improved antibiotics.
OMT is an antibiotic described by Marvin Gorman and Robert B. Morin in U.S. Pat. No. 3,459,853, issued Aug. 5, 1969. Ester derivatives of OMT have not previously been described. Esterification of the 23-hydroxyl group of macrolide antibiotics has not been reported because few macrolides have a free hydroxyl group at this position.
Surprisingly, the ester derivatives of OMT of this invention have substantially improved potency over OMT itself.
The ester derivatives of OMT of this invention are compounds of formula 1 wherein R and R.sup.1 are selected from hydrogen, optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkanoyl or optionally substituted benzoyl, phenylacetyl, or phenylpropionyl; R.sup.2 is hydrogen or an acyl group selected from: ##STR4## p is 0 or 1; m and n are integers from 0 to 4; R.sup.3 is hydrogen, halo, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 -cycloalkyl, phenyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 -cycloalkenyl, naphthyl, indenyl, tetralinyl, decalinyl, adamantyl, 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]cinnolin-3-yl(cinnoxacinyl), a monocyclic heterocyclic ring system comprising 3 to 8 atoms in the ring or a bicyclic heterocyclic ring system comprising 6 to 11 atoms, provided that at least 1 atom of the ring system is carbon and at least 1 atom of the ring system is a heteroatom selected from O, N, and S; and wherein R.sup.3 and the connecting alkyl groups --(CH.sub.2).sub.m -- and --(CH.sub.2).sub.n -- are optionally substituted by one or two halo, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, amino, N-protected-amino, methylamino, dimethylamino, nitro, acetoxy, acetamido, azido, carbomethoxy, carboxamido, cyano, or hydroxyl groups, provided that, if the substituent is other than halo or alkyl, there can be no more than one substituent on any connecting --CH.sub.2 -- group; X is O, S, --NH--, --N(CH.sub.3)--, --C.tbd.C--, --CH.dbd.CH--, --C(CH.sub.3).dbd.CH--, --CH.dbd.C(CH.sub.3)-- or --C(CH.sub.3).dbd.C(CH.sub.3)--; R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl or optionally substituted phenyl or benzyl; provided that at least one of R, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 must be other than hydrogen and that, when R.sup.1 is other than hydrogen, R must also be other than hydrogen. The acid addition salts of these compounds are also part of this invention.
The term "optionally substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkanoyl" as used herein means an acyl moiety derived from a carboxylic acid containing from one to five carbon atoms. In such a moiety, the alkyl group can be straight, branched, or cyclic and can optionally bear one to three halo substituents. Halo substituents are selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br and F. Acetyl, chloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, propionyl, n-butyryl, isobutyryl, n-valeryl, and isovaleryl are examples of such groups.
The terms "optionally substituted benzoyl, phenylacetyl or phenylpropionyl" and "optionally substituted phenyl or benzyl" mean that the phenyl portion of the moiety is optionally substituted by from one to five halo or methyl or by from one to two methoxyl, nitro or hydroxyl groups.
The terms "C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl" and "C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl" as used herein mean a straight- or branched-chain alkyl group containing from one to four or from one to five carbon atoms, respectively. Such groups include methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl and tert-butyl and, for the latter, n-pentyl and isovaleryl, and the like.
The term "C.sub.3 -C.sub.8 -cycloalkyl" means a saturated ring having from three to eight carbon atoms in the ring. Examples of such rings are cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cyclooctyl. By "C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 -cycloalkenyl" is meant a carbocylic ring which contains from five to eight carbon atoms and which also contains one or two double bonds. Cyclohexadienyl, cyclohexenyl, cyclopentenyl, and cyclooctadienyl are examples of such rings.
The term "monocyclic or bicyclic heterocyclic ring system" as used herein includes saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic moieties containing at least one carbon atom and at least one heteroatom selected from oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. Heterocyclic groups contemplated include:
unsaturated 3 to 8-membered monocyclic groups, for example, pyrrolyl, .DELTA..sup.3 -pyrrolinyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, triazinyl, triazolyl (e.g., 4H-1,2,4-triazolyl, 1H-1,2,3-triazolyl, etc.), tetrazolyl (e.g., 1H-tetrazolyl, 2H-tetrazolyl, etc.), oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, oxadiazolyl (e.g., 1,2,4-oxadiazolyl, 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl, 1,2,5-oxadiazolyl, etc.), thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, thiadiazolyl (e.g., 1,2,4-thiadiazolyl, 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl, 1,2,5-thiadiazolyl, etc.), thienyl, furanyl, etc;

"N-protected-amino" means that the amino group is substituted by a suitable protecting group. Such a group must be one which is compatible with the other functional groups in OMT and which can be readily removed under acidic conditions. One especially suitable amino-protecting group is the tert-butoxycarbonyl (t-BOC) group.
When R.sup.2 is acyl and X is --CH.dbd.CH--, --C(CH.sub.3).dbd.CH--, --CH.dbd.C(CH.sub.3)--, or --C(CH.sub.3).dbd.C(CH.sub.3)--, the R.sup.2 group can be in either the cis or trans configuration.

(a) R.sup.4 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl; or
(b) R.sup.4 is optionally substituted phenyl.
The compounds of this invention are prepared by esterifying OMT on the 2', 4', and 23-hydroxyl groups by treatment with acylating agents using methods known in the art. The structure of OMT is shown in formula 2: ##STR6## In the absence of external base, esterification of the 2'- and 4'-hydroxyl groups of OMT is more facile than esterification of the 23-hydroxyl group. Typical acylating agents include acyl anhydrides, acyl halides (usually in combination with an acid scavenger), and active esters of organic acids. Acylation can also be achieved by using a mixture of an organic acid and a dehydrating agent such as N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Esterification can be monitored using standard techniques such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC) to determine the time required for the desired reaction. Once formed, the desired ester derivatives can be separated and purified by known techniques.
The 2'-monoester derivatives of OMT can be prepared by acid hydrolysis of mycarose from 2'-ester derivatives of demycinosyltylosin (DMT). DMT and its 2'-ester derivatives are prepared as described by Richrd H. Baltz, Gene M. Wild, and Eugene T. Seno in their co-pending application entitled DEMYCINOSYLTYLOSIN AND PROCESS FOR ITS PRODUCTION, Ser. No. 156,854, filed June 12, 1980, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,321,361.
A preferred method for the preparation of the symmetrical 2',4'-diester derivatives of OMT, i.e., compounds of formula 1 wherein R and R.sup.1 are identical and are other than hydrogen, comprises treating OMT in a neutral solvent such as acetone with a stoichiometric quantity (or a slight excess) of an acylating agent, such as an acyl anhydride, at about room temperature for from about 1 to about 24 hours until esterification of the 2' and 4' hydroxyl groups is substantially complete. The 2',4'-diester derivatives can be isolated from the reaction mixture by standard procedures such as extraction, chromatography and crystallization.
In an analogous manner, the unsymmetrical 2',4'-diester derivatives of OMT, i.e., compounds of formula 1 wherein R and R.sup.1 are different, can be prepared by acylation of the appropriate 2'-monoesters of OMT.
The 2',23-diester derivatives of OMT can be prepared by acid hydrolysis of mycarose from the corresponding 2',23-diester derivatives of DMT which are described in my copending application entitled 23-ESTER DERIVATIVES OF DMT, Ser. No. 330,294, filed Dec. 14, 1981.
The 2',4',23-triester derivatives of OMT can be prepared by esterification of the corresponding 2',4'- or 2',23-diester derivatives of OMT. Esterification of the 4'-hydroxyl group of 2',23-diester derivatives of OMT can be accomplished in a manner analogous to the preparation of the 2',4'-diester derivatives. More importantly, 2',4'-diester derivatives of OMT can be converted to 2',4',23-triester derivatives by treatment of the diester with a stoichiometric quantity (or a slight excess) of an acylating agent in the presence of a base, such as pyridine, at from about 0.degree. C. to about room temperature until esterification of the 23-hydroxyl group is substantially complete.
Alternatively, the 2',4',23-triester derivatives of OMT wherein R, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical can be prepared by directly esterifying OMT, using the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph, for a sufficient time to give the triester derivative.
The 23-monoester derivatives of OMT can be prepared from the corresponding 2',23-diester or 2',4',23-triester derivatives of OMT by removing the acyl groups from the 2' or 2',4'-positions. This selective de-esterification can be accomplished using known procedures, such as warming or refluxing in aqueous methanol. The de-esterification reaction can be monitored using standard techniques, such as TLC, to determine the time required for removal of the 2'- or the 2' and 4'-acyl groups.
Alternatively, 23-monoester derivatives of OMT are conveniently prepared by acid hydrolysis of mycarose from the corresponding 23-monoester derivatives of DMT. Preparation of the 23-monoesters of DMT is described in my copending application Ser. No. 330,294.
23-Monoester derivatives of OMT can also be prepared directly from OMT as described in my copending application with John Toth entitled METHOD OF PREPARING 23-MONOESTERS OF OMT AND DMT, Ser. No. 330,295, filed Dec. 14, 1981. This method comprises carrying out the esterification of OMT at low to room temperatures with an appropriately selected acylating agent such as an acyl chloride in the presence of an external base such as 2,4,6-collidine until acylation of the 23-hydroxyl group is substantially complete. The product is isolated using standard procedures.
As has been described, an important method of preparing certain of the ester derivatives of OMT of this invention is by hydrolysis of the corresponding esters of DMT. The structure of DMT is shown in formula 3: ##STR7## These DMT esters provide useful starting materials for preparation of the corresponding OMT esters because the 4'-hydroxyl group is substituted and thus protected from acylation. The mycarosyl substituent can subsequently be removed by a facile acid hydrolysis once the desired acylations have been performed.
The OMT ester derivatives of this invention form acid addition salts. These acid addition salts are also useful as antibiotics and are a part of this invention. In another aspect, such salts are useful as intermediates, for example, for separating and purifying the OMT ester derivatives. In addition, the salts have an improved solubility in water.
Representative suitable salts include those salts formed by standard reactions with both organic and inorganic acids such as, for example, sulfuric, hydrochloric, phosphoric, acetic, succinic, citric, lactic, maleic, fumaric, palmitic, cholic, pamoic, mucic, D-glutamic, d-camphoric, glutaric, glycolic, phthalic, tartaric, formic, lauric, stearic, salicylic, methanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, sorbic, picric, benzoic, cinnamic, and like acids.
Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are an especially preferred group of salts of this invention.
OMT can be prepared by hydrolysis of tylosin, desmycosin, macrocin or lactenocin under mildly acidic conditions as described by Gorman and Morin in U.S. Pat. No. 3,459,853. A preferred method of preparing OMT, by mild acid hydrolysis of DMT, is described by Baltz et al. in Ser. No. 156,854.
DMT is prepared by fermentation of Streptomyces fradiae NRRL 12170 under submerged aerobic conditions until a substantial level of antibiotic activity is produced. DMT can be extracted from basified broth filtrate with organic solvents such as ethyl acetate and can be further purified by extraction, chromatography, and/or crystallization. The DMT-producing strain of Streptomyces fradiae has been deposited and made part of the stock culture collection of the Northern Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research, North Central Region, 1815 North University Street, Peoria, Ill., 61604, from which it is available to the public under the accession number NRRL 12170.
OMT is prepared from DMT by mild acid hydrolysis. DMT solutions having a pH of about four or below can be used to accomplish the hydrolysis. Temperatures of about 20.degree. to about 100.degree. C. can be used in this method. The reaction time needed to carry out the hydrolysis varies, depending upon the pH of the reaction mixture and the temperature used. At higher pH levels the reaction rate is faster. The reaction is carried out by treating DMT with a mild acid solution for a time sufficient to effect removal of the mycarosyl group to give OMT.
Alternatively, and sometimes preferably, OMT can be prepared by treating DMT in the fermentation broth in which it is produced, using mild acidic conditions as above-described for a time sufficient to convert the DMT to OMT. OMT thus prepared can be isolated from the fermentation broth using techniques known in the art.
Illustrative OMT esters of this invention include those compounds of formula 1 listed in Table I.

The OMT ester derivatives of this invention inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, especially gram-positive bacteria, Mycoplasma species and Pasteurella species. For example, Tables II and III show the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC's) at which illustrative compounds inhibit certain bacteria. The MIC's in Table II were determined by standard agar-dilution assays. The MIC's in Table III were obtained using a conventional broth-dilution microtiter test.

This invention also relates, therefore, to methods of controlling gram-positive and Pasteurella infections. In carrying out the methods of this invention, an effective amount of a compound of formula 1 is administered parenterally to an infected or susceptible warm-blooded animal. The dose which is effective to control gram-positive and/or Pasteurella infections will vary with the severity of the infection and the age, weight, and condition of the animal. The total dose required for protection will generally, however, be in the range of from about 1 to about 200 mg/kg and preferably will be in the range of from about 5 to about 100 mg/kg. Suitable dosage regimens can be constructed.
In another aspect, this invention relates to compositions useful for the control of gram-positive and/or Pasteurella infections. These compositions comprise a compound of formula 1 together with a suitable pharmaceutical vehicle. Such compositions may be formulated for parenteral administration by methods recognized in the pharmaceutical art. Effective injectable compositions containing these compounds may be in either suspension or solution form. In the preparation of suitable formulations it will be recognized that, in general, the water solubility of the acid addition salts is greater than that of the free bases. Similarly, the bases are more soluble in dilute acids or in acidic solutions than in neutral or basic solutions.
In the solution form the compound is dissolved in a physiologically acceptable vehicle. Such vehicles comprise a suitable solvent, preservatives such as benzyl alcohol, if needed, and buffers. Useful solvents include, for example, water and aqueous alcohols, glycols, and carbonate esters such as diethyl carbonate. Such aqueous solutions contain, in general, no more than 50% of the organic solvent by volume.
Injectable suspension compositions employ a liquid suspending medium, with or without adjuvants, as a vehicle. The suspending medium can be, for example, aqueous polyvinylpyrrolidone, inert oils such as vegetable oils or highly refined mineral oils, or aqueous carboxymethylcellulose.
Suitable physiologically acceptable adjuvants are necessary to keep the compound suspended in suspension compositions. The adjuvants may be chosen from among thickeners such as carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, and the alginates. Many surfactants are also useful as suspending agents. Lecithin, alkylphenol polyethylene oxide adducts, naphthalenesulfonates, alkylbenzenesulfonates, and the polyoxyethylene sorbitan esters are useful suspending agents.
Many substances which affect the hydrophilicity, density, and surface tension of the liquid suspending medium can assist in making injectable suspensions in individual cases. For example, silicone antifoams, sorbitol, and sugars can be useful suspending agents.
In order to illustrate more fully the operation of this invention, the following examples are provided:
PREPARATION 1
Preparation of OMT from DMT
A. Shake-flask Fermentation of DMT
A lyophilized pellet of Streptomyces fradiae NRRL 12170 is dispersed in 1-2 ml of sterilized water. A portion of this solution (0.5 ml) is used to inoculate a vegetative medium (150 ml) having the following composition:
______________________________________Ingredient Amount (%)______________________________________Corn steep liquor 1.0Yeast extract 0.5Soybean grits 0.5CaCO.sub.3 0.3Soybean oil (crude) 0.45Deionized water 97.25______________________________________
Alternatively, a vegetative culture of S. fradiae NRRL 12170, preserved in 1-ml volumes in liquid nitrogen, is rapidly thawed and used to inoculate the vegetative medium. The inoculated vegetative medium is incubated in a 500-ml Erlenmeyer flask at 29.degree. C. for about 48 hours on a closed-box shaker at 300 rpm.
This incubated vegetative medium (0.5 ml) is used to inoculate 7 ml of a production medium having the following composition:
______________________________________Ingredient Amount (%)______________________________________Beet molasses 2.0Corn meal 1.5Fish meal 0.9Corn gluten 0.9NaCl 0.1(NH.sub.4).sub.2 HPO.sub.4 0.04CaCO.sub.3 0.2Soybean oil (crude) 3.0Deionized water 91.36______________________________________
The inoculated fermentation medium is incubated in a 50-ml bottle at 29.degree. C. for about 6 days on a closed-box shaker at 300 rpm.
B. Tank Fermentation of DMT
In order to provide a larger volume of inoculum, 1200 ml of incubated vegetative medium, prepared in a manner similar to that described in section A, is used to inoculate 250 gallons of a second-stage vegetative growth medium having the following composition:
______________________________________Ingredient Amount (%)______________________________________Corn steep liquor 1.0Soybean oil meal 0.5Yeast extract 0.5CaCO.sub.3 0.3Soybean oil (crude) 0.5Lecithin (crude) 0.015Water 97.185Adjust pH to 8.5 with 50% NaOH solution.______________________________________
This second-stage vegetative medium is incubated in a 350-gallon tank for about 48 hours at 28.degree. C., with adequate aeration and agitation.
Incubated second-stage medium (144 gallons) thus prepared is used to inoculate 1000 gallons of sterile production medium having the following composition:
______________________________________Ingredient Amount (%)______________________________________Fish meal 0.875Corn meal 1.5Corn gluten 0.875CaCO.sub.3 0.2NaCl 0.1(NH.sub.4).sub.2 HPO.sub.4 0.04Beet molasses 2.0Soybean oil (crude) 3.0Lecithin 0.09Water 91.32Adjust pH to 7.2 with 50% NaOH solution.______________________________________
The inoculated production medium is allowed to ferment in a 1600-gallon tank for 8 to 9 days at a temperature of 28.degree. C. The fermentation medium is aerated with sterile air to keep the dissolved oxygen level between about 30% and 50% and is stirred with conventional agitators at about 250 rpm.
C. Isolation of DMT
Harvested whole broth (3800 L), obtained as described in Section B, is filtered, using a filter aid. The mycelial cake is washed with water; this water wash is added to the filtrate.
The pH of the filtrate is adjusted to pH 9.2, using a 50% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (9.5 L). The filtrate is extracted with ethyl acetate (2000 L). Deionized water (450 L) and sodium phosphate monobasic (6.4 kg) are added to the ethyl acetate extract with thorough mixing. The pH of this mixture is adjusted from about pH 6.0 to pH 4.35, using a phosphoric acid solution (3300 ml; 2 parts water to one part phosphoric acid). The aqueous phase is separated. The pH of the enriched aqueous phase is adjusted to pH 6.5 using a 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (700 ml).
The resulting solution is concentrated to a volume of about 225 L under vacuum. The pH of the concentrated solution is adjusted to pH 9.2 by the addition of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide (16 L). The resulting basic solution is permitted to stand overnight. The crystals which form are separated by filtration, washed with deionized water (50 L), and dried to give about 8.6 kg of product. The product thus obtained can be recrystallized from acetone-water.
D. Preparation of OMT
DMT, prepared as described in Section C, is dissolved in a dilute hydrochloric acid solution (final pH 1.8). The resulting solution is allowed to stand for 24 hours at room temperature and then is adjusted to pH 9.0 by the addition of sodium hydroxide. This basic solution is extracted with ethyl acetate, dichloromethane or chloroform. The extract is evaporated under vacuum to give OMT.
PREPARATION 2
Alternate Preparation of OMT from DMT
OMT is prepared from DMT by treating the DMT in the fermentation broth in which it is produced with mild acid as described in Section D of Preparation 1. Isolation of the OMT is accomplished by a procedure similar to that described for DMT in Section C of Preparation 1.
