The compounds of the present invention may be prepared from an appropriate N-tert-butoxycarbonyl amino acid, for example, N-Boc-L-serine (R.sup.2 =H) or N-Boc-L-threonine (R.sup.2 =CH.sub.3). The aforementioned amino acids have the preferred chirality at the C-3 (serine) and C-3 and C-4 sites (threonine). The amino and carboxyl funtionalities allow convenient handles for introduction of various acyl side chains and the 5-amino tetrazole group respectively. The preparation of potassium 3S-phenylacetamido-1-(5-tetrazolyl)azetidin-2-one 11 from N-Boc-L-serine is set forth in the following scheme and illustrates the preparation of compounds of the present invention: ##STR13##
When coupling N-Boc-L-serine with 5-amino tetrazole it is generally expedient to first protect the hydroxyl as its tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether (3) to increase the yield and ease of product isolation in the coupling reaction. The carbodiimide or mixed anhydride methods give comparable yields of 4. For a discussion of these methods, see "The Peptides", Vol. I, E. Gross and J. Meienhofer, Editors, Academic Press, New York, N.Y., 1979, pages 242-262 and 264-314, respectively, these disclosures being hereby incorporated herein by reference. Both methods may generally be used when R.sup.2 is other than hydrogen. Since subsequent reactions generally require the tetrazole to be blocked, 4 is alkylated to attach a hydrogenolytically removable group with a reagent such as chloromethylbenzylether. Use of the latter gives a mixture of the 1-isomer 5 and the 2-isomer 6 in a 1 to 1 ratio. Substituting bis-tri-butyltinoxide for triethylamine in the aforementioned alkylation gives an isomer ratio for 5 to 6 of 2.5 to 1. Compounds 5 and 6 may then be subjected to the further reactions discussed with reference to 5. Compound 5 may be desilylated by treatment with 48% hydrogen fluoride in acetonitrile to give 7. Ring closure of 7 by the dialkylazodicarboxylate/triphenylphosphine method gives 8. For a discussion of this method, see P. G. Mattingly, J. F. Kerwin, M. J. Miller, J. Am. Chem. Soc, 101, 3983 (1979), this disclosure being hereby incorporated herein by reference. There is considerable latitude amongst the reagents giving a successful ring closure. Carbon tetrachloride may be substituted for triphenylphosphine and diethyl, diisopropyl- or dimethylazodicarboxylates may be used. Side chain introduction may be effected by trifluoroacetic acid removal of tert-butyloxycarbonyl to yield 9 and acylation of 9 by phenylacetylchloride to give 10. Other side chains are similarly introduced by standard methods. For example, the side chain acid and the 3-aminoazetidin-2-one may be coupled by chlorodiphenylphosphate/triethylamine or isobutylchloroformate/N-methylmorpholine. Compound 10 may be subjected to hydrogenolysis with palladium catalysis to give 11, which may be isolated with reverse-phase preparative TLC (thin layer chromatography).
Preparation of compounds where R.sup.2 is carboalkoxy is illustrated by using malic acid as the starting material, proceding to compound 3 (page 4) according to the method of Miller et al. (J. Org. Chem. 47, 4928-4933 (1982), the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference) and then following the steps set forth above.
Preparation of compounds where the tetrazole group is substituted with --CH.sub.2 COOM is illustrated by alkylating 4 or 24 (Example 20) with bromobenzylacetate in the presence of base hydrogenolysis of the benzyl group which furnishes compounds such as 17 and 21.
The products of this invention form a wide variety of pharmaceutically acceptable salts such as acid addition salts, e.g., with hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, nitric, toluene-p-sulphonic and methane sulphonic acids. The salts of this invention are pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic derivatives which can be used as the active ingredient in suitable unit-dosage pharmaceutical forms. Also, they may be combined with other drugs to provide compositions having a broad spectrum of activity.
The novel compounds are valuable antibiotics active against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and, accordingly, find utility in human and veterinary medicine. The compounds of this invention may therefore be used as antibacterial drugs for treating infections caused b gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, for example, against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia marcesans, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus faecalis, Ent. aerogenes, Ent. cloacae and Proteus vulgaris. The antibacterials of the invention may further be utilized as additives to animal feeds, for preserving foodstuffs and as disinfectants. For example, they may be employed in aqueous compositions in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 parts of antibiotic per million parts of solution in order to destroy and inhibit one growth of harmful bacteria on medical and dental equipment and as bactericides in industrial applications, for example, in waterbased paints and in the white water of paper mills to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
The products of this invention may be used alone or in combination as an active ingredient in any one of a variety of pharmaceutical preparations. They may be combined with other drugs to provide compositions having a broad spectrum of activity. These antibiotics may be employed in capsule form or as tablets, powders or liquid solutions or as suspensions or elixirs. They may be administered orally, topically or parenterally by injection (intravenously or intramuscularly).
Tablets and capsules for oral administration may be in unit dose presentation form, and may contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, for example, syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragacanth, or polyvinylpyrrolidone; fillers for example, lactose, sugar, cornstarch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol or glycine; lubricants, for example, magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol, silica; disintegrants, for example, potato starch or acceptable wetting agents such as sodium lauryl sulphate. The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in the art. Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups, elixirs, etc. or may be presented as a dry product, for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicles before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents, for example, sorbitol, syrup, methyl cellulose, glucose/sugar syrup, gelatin, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, aluminum stearate gel or hydrogenated edible oils, for example almond oil, fractionated coconut oil, oily esters, propylene glycol, or ethyl alcohol; preservatives, for example, methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid. Suppositories will contain conventional suppository base, e.g. cocoa butter or other glycerides.
Compositions for injection may be presented in unit dose form in ampules, or in multidose containers with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for reconstitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile, pyrogen-free water, before use.
The compositions may also be prepared in suitable forms for absorption through the mucous membranes of the nose and throat or bronchial tissues and may conveniently take the form of powder or liquid sprays or inhalants, lozenges, throat paints, etc. For medication of the eyes or ears, the preparations may be presented as individual capsules, in liquid or semi-solid form, or may be used as drops etc. Topical applications may be formulated in hydrophobic or hydrophilic bases as ointments, creams, lotions, paints, powders, etc.
Also, in addition to a carrier, the instant compositions may include other ingredients such as stabilizers, binders, antioxidants, preservatives, lubricators, suspending agents, viscosity agents or flavoring agents and the like. In addition, there may also be included in the composition other active ingredients to provide a broader spectrum of antibiotic activity.
For veterinary medicine the composition may, for example, be formulated as an intramammary preparation in either long or quick-release bases.
The dosage to be administered depends to a large extent upon the condition and size of the subject being treated as well as the route and frequency of administration, the parenteral route being preferred for generalized infections and the oral route for intestinal infections. Another factor influencing the precise dosage regimen, apart from the nature of the infection and peculiar identity of the individual being treated, is the molecular weight of the chosen species of this invention. In general, a daily oral dosage consists of from about 2 to about 600 mg of active ingredient per kg of body weight of the subject in one or more applications per day. A preferred daily dosage for adult humans lies in the range of from about 15 to 150 mg of active ingredient per kg of body weight.
The instant compositions may be administered in several unit dosage forms as, for example, in solid or liquid orally ingestible dosage form. The compositions per unit dosage, whether liquid or solid may contain from 0.1% to 99% of active material, the preferred range being from about 10 to 60%. The composition will generally contain from about 15 mg to about 1500 mg of the active ingredient; however, in general, it is preferable to employ a dosage amount in the range of from about 100 mg to 1000 mg. In parenteral administration the unit dosage is usually the pure compound in a sterile water solution or in the form of a soluble powder intended for solution. Consideration of individual properties of solubility and stability well determine the optimum pH of such a solution. The pH will generally be in range of 5.5 to 8.2.
