Methylene penam and derivatives thereof

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to (2,3)-.alpha.-methylene penam and derivatives thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to penam derivatives wherein the cyclopropyl group fused to the thiazolidine ring is on the opposite side of the molecule relative to the carboxylic acid, "R.sub.3 NH" and "R.sub.2 " substituent on the beta lactam or penam nuclei.
More specifically, and in an absolute sense, the bridgehead carbon atom located at the 4/5 ring fusion of these new penams has the R absolute configuration (Cahn-Ingold-Prelog method of designating absolute configuration). If the hydrogen atom substituent of this bridgehead carbon atom is designated as extending from the .alpha.-face of the molecule, then the cyclopropylmethylene also extends from the .alpha.-face. The carboxylic acid, "R.sub.3 NH" and "R.sup.2 " substituents are all on the .beta.-face of the molecule. It should be noted that in this special arrangement, the absolute configuration of the carbon atom bearing the carboxylic acid substituent is opposite to all known penam antibacterials.
2,3-Lower alkyl alkylene penam-3-carboxylic acid derivatives wherein the fused cyclopropyl group is set forth without any stereochemical configuration are broadly disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,904,607 to Kamiya et al. issued Sept. 9, 1975. An analysis of the disclosure indicates that the compounds produced have the fused cyclopropyl group on the .beta.-face of the molecule (with the bridgehead carbon atom located on the 4/5 ring fusion having the R absolute configuration as noted above). Such compounds do not have the level and spectrum of antimicrobial activity of the present compounds.
Similar compounds have also been disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,393,003 to Keith et al. issued July 12, 1983 but as noted above these compounds have the cyclopropyl fused ring in the .beta.-position as stereochemically depicted in the Patent. Again the spectrum and activity levels are inferior to the present compounds.
A further article by Keith et al. in Tetrahedron Letters, 39(15), pages 2445-2458, 1983 discusses the mechanisms of action due to conformational differences in penam nuclei and their effect on penicillin antibacterial activity. Such disclosure does not include compounds wherein the methylene of the cyclopropyl group is in a "down" or .alpha.-configuration and the carboxylic acid is in an opposite "unnatural" absolute configuration.

The compounds of formulas VIII or VI are converted to compounds of formulas IX or X by reaction with an organic amine base, preferably a tertiary amine base, such as, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2.]]octane, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene or 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene in a polar organic solvent, such as, dimethylformamide, dioxane or tetrahydrofuran. The reaction temperature may be varied from about -50.degree. C. to 0.degree. C. with about -10.degree. C. as preferred.
Other reactants and reaction conditions which may be utilized to achieve cyclization are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,094,607 at column 23, said teaching being incorporated herein by reference.
IX.fwdarw.X
The compound of formula IX may thereafter be reduced to provide the compound of formula X utilizing the reactants and reaction conditions set forth in VII.fwdarw.VI or VI' above.
X.fwdarw.XII
The compound of formula X is thereafter reacted with a phosphorus pentahalide, preferably, phosphorous pentachloride in a tertiary amine base, such as, pyridine. The reaction is carried out at a temperature in a range of from about -20.degree. C. to 50.degree. C. with about room temperature as preferred. Thereafter the intermediate product is treated with a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkanol, such as, methanol or ethanol with n-propanol as preferred. Thereafter the reactants are subject to a hydrolysis utilizing the reactants and reaction conditions as set forth in V.fwdarw.VI above.
X.fwdarw.XI
The ester protecting group (R.sub.65) may thereafter be removed by conventional means, e.g. hydrolysis, hydrogenolysis. When R.sub.65 is R-nitrobenzyl, it is removed by a reduction utilizing palladium on carbon (charcoal) and hydrogen in various solvent systems with a two phase system of ethyl acetate/aqueous alkali metal (Na or K) bicarbonate or methanol/tetrahydrofuran followed by treatment with aqueous alkalimetal (Na or K) bicarbonate. The resultant material is chromatographed utilizing known techniques to isolate the alkali metal salt.
XII.fwdarw.XIV
The compound of formula XII is converted to the compound of formula XIV via any conventional technique for acylating and protecting an amino compound with a carboxylic acid from which R.sub.3 is desirable or an active derivative thereof, such as, the corresponding acid halide, e.g. phenylmethoxy carbonyl chloride, acid anhydride, e.g. chloroacetic anhydride, or active ester in the presence of a base, e.g. alkali metal (Na or K) hydroxides, carbonates or bicarbonates or tertiaryamines, such as, triethylamine or pyridine. Suitable solvents include mixed solvents, such as, miscible solvents, e.g. tetrahydrofuran or acetone with water or immiscible solvents, such as, chloroform with water. Although the temperature is not critical the reaction generally proceeds between about 0.degree. C. to 30.degree. C. with about room temperature preferred.
The compounds of formula XIV may thereafter undergo removal of the ester protecting group following the reaction conditions set forth in step X.fwdarw.XI above. Thereafter the alkali metal salt may be reacted to form the acid by treatment with acid e.g., hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.
In order to manufacture the easily hydrolysable esters of the carboxylic acids of the formula I compound; the carboxylic acid is preferably reacted with the appropriate halide containing the ester group, preferably with the iodide. The reaction can be accelerated with the aid of a base, e.g. an alkali metal hydroxide or carbonate, or an organic amine, such as triethylamine. The esterification reaction is preferably carried out in an inert organic solvent, such as dimethylacetamide, hexamethylphosphoric acid bromide, dimethylsulphoxide or, preferably, dimethylformamide. The temperature is preferably in the range of about 0.degree.-40.degree. C.
The salts and hydrates of the compounds of the formula I, or the hydrates of these salts, can be manufactured in a manner known per se, e.g. by reacting the carboxylic acid of the formula I with an equivalant amount of the desired base, appropriately in a solvent, such as water or in an organic solvent, such as ethanol, methanol, acetone, and many others. The temperature of the salt formation is not critical, it is in general room temperature, but can also easily be above or below room temperature, for example in the range from 0.degree. C. to +50.degree. C.
The manufacture of the hydrates usually takes place automatically, in the course of manufacturing process or as a result of hygroscopic properties of an initially anhydrous product. For controlled manufacture of a hydrate, a completely or partially anhydrous (carboxylic acid of the formula I or ester or salt thereof) can be subjected to a moist atmosphere, e.g. at about "10.degree. C. to +40.degree. C.
In the following examples the stereochemical configurations are set forth in either alpha (or .alpha.) and beta (or .beta.) in the written formulas.

EXAMPLE 1
[3R][1(R*),3-alpha,4-alpha]]-4-(benzothiazol-2-yldithio)-3-[(trifluoroacetyl)(phenylacetyl)amino]-alpha-(1-methyethenyl)-2-oxo-1-azetidineacetic acid (4-nitrophenyl)methyl ester
6.35 g of seco-penicillin i.e. [3R-[1(R*),3.alpha.,4.alpha.]]-4-(benzthiazol-2-yldithio)-.alpha.-(1-methylethenyl)-2-oxo-3-[[phenylacetyl)amino]-.alpha.-(1-methylethenyl)-2-oxo-3-[[phenylacetyl)amino]-1-azetidineacetic acid (4-nitrophenyl)methyl ester are taken up in 45 mL of CHCl.sub.3 which had been dried over sieves and then passed through basic alumina. To this mixture was added 45 mL of cold trifluoroacetic anhydride. The mixture was stirred at room temperature and after about 40 minutes, the reaction solution became clear. The reaction mixture was concentrated. azeotroped twice with toluene and once with dry CHCl.sub.3. The residue was dried in vacuo in a water bath with a temperature of 30.degree.-35.degree. C. to yield the desired end product. Analysis by nmr indicated a trace of starting material remained.
EXAMPLE 2
[2-S-(2.alpha.,3.alpha.,5.alpha.,6.beta.)]- and [2S-(2.alpha.,3.beta.,5.alpha.,6.beta.)]-3-(bromomethyl)-3-methyl-6-[(trifluoroacetyl)(phenylacetyl)amino]-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo]3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (4-nitrophenyl)methyl ester
The product of Example 1 i.e. the trifluoroacetyl seco-penicillin, was taken up in 40 mL of dry methylene chloride. Thereafter 1.12 g of calcium oxide was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture cooled to 0.degree. C. A bromine solution (24.5 mL) was added dropwise over approximately ten minutes following completion of the addition. Thereafter a cold mixture of ether (120 mL)/petroleum ether (95 mL) was added and stirred for 10 minutes at 0.degree..
The reaction mixture was filtered through a bed of celite and the filtrate concentrated to yield a mixture of the .alpha. and .beta.-bromomethylpenam imides named in the title to Example 2.
The crude product was used as is for Example 3, wherein the thiazolidine sulfide was oxidized to a sulfoxide. For reasons discussed in Example 3, it is likely that some of the very labile trifluoroacetyl phenylacetylimide was hydrolyzed during the work-up. Thus, the crude mixture described above also contains some imide hydrolysis product--i.e. the 6.beta.-phenylacetylamide as well as the imide.
EXAMPLE 3
[2S-(2.alpha.,3.beta.,4.beta.,5.alpha.,6.beta.)] and [2S-(2.alpha.,3.alpha.,4.beta.,5.alpha.,6.beta.)]-3-bromomethyl)-3-methyl-7-oxo-6-[(phenylacetyl)amino]-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (4-nitrophenyl)methyl ester 4-oxide and [2S-(2.alpha.,3.beta.,4.alpha.,5.alpha.,6.beta.)] and [2S-(2.alpha.,3.alpha.,4.alpha.,5.alpha.,6.beta.)]-3-(bromomethyl)-3-methyl-7-oxo-6-[(phenylacetyl)amino]-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (4-nitrophenyl)methyl ester 4-oxide
The mixture of .alpha.- and .beta.-bromomethylpenams from Example 2 was taken up in 80 cc of methylene chloride. A small amount of material remained insoluble but was left in the mixture. The mixture was again cooled to 0.degree. C. 1.93 g of m-chloroperbenzoic acid (85 percent pure) in 20 mL of methylene chloride was added dropwise over 5-10 minutes and the mixture stirred for one hour in the cold. The reaction mixture was worked up by extracting with 12.5.degree. Na.sub.2 SO.sub.3 (three times), water (one time) and brine (two times). The resultant organic phase was dried over Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4 and concentrated and the residue dried in vacuo.
Thereafter the crude sulfoxide residue was chromatographed on silica gel using ethyl acetate/cyclohexane for elution. The four isomeric bromomethylpenam sulfoxides of the title (Example 3) were isolated from this chromatography. Structure assignment was made from their NMR spectra.
Normally, oxidation of penicillanic acids bearing a 6.beta.-imide (e.g. phthalimide) yield the ".alpha.-sulfoxide", whereas oxidation of penicillanic acids with a secondary 6.beta.-amide residue leads to the .beta.-sulfoxides.* The isolation of both .alpha.- and .beta.-sulfoxides from this reaction indicates some imide hydrolysis occurred in isolation of the products.

The .alpha.-bromomethylpenam .beta.-sulfoxide (2.94 g), one of the products of Example 3, was taken up in 35 mL of dry DMF. The solution was cooled to between -35.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. and 0.81 mL of 1,8-diazabicyclo [5.4.0] undec-7-ene in 25 mL of DMF was added over a ten (10) minute period. An internal temperature of -35.degree. to -40.degree. C. was maintained throughout the addition. The mixture was stirred for 45 minutes in the cold.
The reaction mixture was poured into 120 mL of cold 0.2N HCl and extracted with 300 mL of ethyl acetate. The two layers which formed were separated.

C. The mixture was stirred at this temperature for 1 h. About 30 min after the addition of PCl.sub.5, a white precipitate was formed. n-Propanol dried over molecular sieve (4 A) (0.3 mL) and then CHCl.sub.3 (1 mL) were added at -4.degree. to 2.degree. C. After the reaction was stirred for about 45 min at same temperature, it became a clear solution. When precipitate still remained after 45 min., PCl.sub.5 (2 mg) was added and stirred for 15 min until the reaction becomes clear. The addition was repeated if the precipitate did not dissolve. Usually, 2-4 mg PCl.sub.5 were required. The reaction was further stirred for an additional 15 min after the clear solution was obtained. Subsequently, brine (0.5 mL) was added at 0.degree. C. and the reaction stirred for 15 min. EtOAc (6 mL), brine (3 mL) and sat. NaHCO.sub.3 (0.5 mL) were then added successively. The two layers were separated, and the organic phase was washed with brine (2.times.3 mL), dried over Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4 and filtered. The filtrate was used as is for subsequent acylation rections. This material has Rf 0.35 with the system SiO.sub.2 /EtOAc.

The disulfide of Example 11 (15.0 g, 23.6 mmole) was placed in a dry two-liter flask. Chloroform (115 ml, dried by passing through basic alumina) was added and the resultant mixture was stirred under argon for 5 minutes. Trifluoroacetic anhydride (100 g, 476 mmole) was added at once, and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature, under argon for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated at 35.degree.

The crude imide of Example 12 (18.2 g, 23.6 mmole) was dissolved in methylene chloride (100 mL, dried over basic alumina), under argon. The reaction solution was cooled to -10.degree. C. and calcium oxide (2.65 g, 47.3 mmole) was added. Bromine (56 mL of 0.195M solution in methylene chloride, 10.9 mmole) was added dropwise over 15 minutes and the resultant mixture was stirred for 10 minutes (bath temperature between -5.degree. C. and -10.degree. C.). A mixture of cold diethyl ether (290 mL) and petroleum ether (250 mL) was added and the resultant mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. The mixture was filtered through a bed of celite and the filtrate was concentrated and dried in vacuo to a foam. The foam was dissolved in cold acetone (275 mL/water (75 mL) and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (16 mL) was added over a 5 minute period to bring the pH of the solution to between 7.3-7.5. Ethyl acetate (600 mL) was added and the resultant layers were separated. The organic layer was washed two times with saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated, yielding crude material as a mixture of 3.alpha.- and 3.beta.-bromomethyl penams. The crude material was chromatographed by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography using the Waters prep 500 instrument. Two columns were used for the separation. The material was eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (2:3) at a flow rate of 250 mL/min. yielding the bromide. There was no clean separation of the 3.alpha.- and 3.beta.-bromomethyl compounds. The 3.beta.-bromomethyl was slightly less polar. The first fraction containing bromomethyl penams was, therefore, kept separate as it was enhanced in the 3.beta.-bromomethyl compound.
