The products of the present invention can be administered as such other in combination with the excipients commonly used with penicillins and cephalosporins for the preparation of formulations for the oral or parenteral use or in combination with known antibiotics or with inhibitors of beta-lactamases.
The compounds according to the present invention have a widespread antibacterial activity and can be administered in the doses and according to the modality already known in pharmacopeia for the analogous penicillins and analogous antibiotics.
The compounds according to the present invention can be prepared from the corresponding hydroxymethyl compounds of formula II (SCHEME 1) wherein R.sub.1 is as defined (preferably alpha-hydroxyethyl) and Y is an ester-group as for example allyl or p-nitrobenzyl.
The compounds of formula II are known and can be prepared (SCHEME 1) from the azetidinone compounds III or from the derivatives of natural penicillins IV using known procedures �for example E. Fontana et al., J.Lab.Comp.Radiopharm., 24, 41 (1986); A. J.Corraz et al., J.Med.Chem.,35, 1828 (1992) here reported for reference!. ##STR5##
The hydroxymethyl penems II are transformed into the corresponding sulfonyl derivatives V, wherein R.sub.1 and Y are as above defined and Z is an alkyl- or aryl-group (preferably methyl or p-tolyl), by reacting compounds II with the appropriate sulfonyl chloride in the presence of an organic base, as for example triethylamine or N,N-diisopropylethylamine, in an inert organic solvent, as for example dichloromethane or chloroform, at a temperature ranging from -70.degree. C. and +20.degree. C. The sulfonyl derivatives V are reacted with the compounds of formula VI, where n, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are as above defined, in an organic solvent as for example dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or ethyl acetate at a temperature of -20.degree. C. -+20.degree. C.; the reaction can be performed on the derivatives V crude or pure. Alternatively the synthesis can be performed by transforming the sulfonyl derivatives V into the corresponding halides VIII ##STR6## Wherein X is chlorine, bromine or iodine through a reaction with inorganic halides preferably calcium halides.
The compounds of general formula VII can be obtained from the halides VIII through a reaction with the compounds of formula VI wherein n, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 are as above defined in an organic solvent as for example dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran or ethylacetate at a temperature of -20.degree. C. -+20.degree. C.; also in this case the reaction can be perfomed starting from the corresponding halides VIII isolated or crude. At the end of the reaction the penems VII are isolated and characterised with conventional methods.
When R.sub.1 is an hydroxyalkyl group the reaction sequence is performed after protecting the alcoholic function with the conventional protecting groups as for example p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, allyloxycarbonil, t-butyldimethylsilyl or trimethylsilyl. The protecting group is removed at the end of the reactions sequence. Alternatively, the reaction can be performed with the dialcoholic derivative II not protected (R.sub.1 =CH.sub.3 CHOH--).
The compounds of general formula I are finally obtained from the corresponding esters VII through hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis or with other procedures.
The compounds of general formula I possess a remarkable antibacterial activity when compared with the conventional beta-lactam antibiotics, both against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms and also against anaerobic microorganisms either producing or not-producing beta-lactamases.
