Process for making antimicrobial compounds

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to processes for making antimicrobial compounds. The invention also relates to processes for making intermediate compounds which can be further reacted to obtain antimicrobial compounds. In particular, the processes of this invention are useful for making compounds which contain a quinolone or related heterocyclic moiety.
The chemical and medical literature describes a myriad of compounds that are said to be antimicrobial, i.e., capable of destroying or suppressing the growth or reproduction of microorganisms, such as bacteria. In particular, antibacterials include a large variety of naturally-occurring (antibiotic), synthetic, or semi-synthetic compounds. They may be classified (for example) as the aminoglycosides, ansamacrolides, beta-lactams (including penicillins and cephalosporins), lincosaminides, macrolides, nitrofurans, nucleosides, oligosaccharides, peptides and polypeptides, phenazines, polyenes, polyethers, quinolones, tetracyclines, and sulfonamides. Such antibacterials and other antimicrobials are described in Antibiotics, Chemotherapeutics, and Antibacterial Agents for Disease Control (M. Grayson, editor, 1982), and E. Gale et al., The Molecular Basis of Antibiotic Action 2d edition (1981), both incorporated by reference herein.
The pharmaceutical literature is replete with attempts to develop improved antimicrobials (i.e., compounds that have a broader scope of activity, greater potency, improved pharmacology, and/or less susceptibility to resistance development). One group of antimicrobials that has been developed for clinical use is the quinolones. These compounds include, for example, nalidixic acid, difloxacin, enoxacin, fleroxacin, norfloxacin, lomefloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and pefloxacin. See, C. Marchbanks and M. Dudley, "New Fluoroquinolones", 7 Hospital Therapy 18 (1988); P. Shah, "Quinolones", 31 Prog. Drug Res. 243 (1987); Quinolones--Their Future in Clinical Practice, (A. Percival, editor, Royal Society of Medical Services, 1986); and M. Parry, "Pharmacology and Clinical Uses of Quinolone Antibiotics", 116 Medical Times 39 (1988).
Recently, a new class of highly potent, broad spectrum antimicrobials was discovered, combining beta-lactam moieties with quinolone moieties. These compounds have been referred to as "Lactam-quinolones" and "Quinolonyl Lactam Antimicrobials" ("QLAs"). Such compounds are described in European Patent Publication 366,189, White and Demuth, published May 2, 1990; European Patent Publication 366, 193, Demuth and White, published May 2, 1990; European Patent Publication 366,640, Demuth and White, published May 2, 1990; European Patent Publication 366,641, White and Demuth, published May 2, 1990. Other such compounds are described in Australian Patent Publication 87/75009, Albrecht et al., published Jan. 7, 1988; Australian Patent Publication 88/27554, published Jun. 6, 1989; European Patent Publication 335,297, Albrecht et al., published Oct. 4, 1989; and Albrecht et al., "Dual Action Cephalosporins; Cephalosporin 3'-Quinolone Carbamates", 34 J. Medicinal Chemistry 2857 (1991).
Manufacture of quinolone-containing compounds generally involves the use of a strong base (e.g., sodium hydride, potassium carbonate), polar solvents and high temperatures to affect cyclization of a quinolone precursor. The use of these cyclization conditions can result in low yields, due in-part to degradation, particularly with compounds that contain sensitive or labile functional groups.
It has now been discovered that processes which utilize organosilicon compounds are useful in making quinolones and quinolone-containing lactams. These processes allow for synthesis of such compounds under reaction conditions that eliminate the use of strong bases, polar solvents and high temperatures. Sensitive functional groups in the reaction substrate and product tolerate these mild reaction conditions. These processes may allow for improved yields and product purity and provide additional synthetic flexibility for the preparation of these classes of molecules.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention encompasses processes for the manufacture of quinolone-containing compounds. These quinolone-containing compounds are useful for treating infectious disorders in humans or other animals. When the compounds made according to these processes are used for treating such disorders, they must be pharmaceutically-acceptable. As used herein, such a "pharmaceutically-acceptable" component is one that is suitable for use with humans and/or animals without undue adverse side effects (such as toxicity, irritation, and allergic response) commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Such pharmaceutically-acceptable forms include salts, biohydrolyzable esters and solvates.
The quinolone-containing compounds prepared according to the processes of the present invention may also be used as intermediates for preparation of other quinolone-containing compounds. That is, the compounds prepared may be further reacted, using known chemistry, to yield other active analogs. (See Examples 13, 14 and 16 below, which illustrate the preparation of such "intermediates".)

Where the compounds synthesized using the present methods are used as intermediates, they may contain various functional groups (e.g., alcohols, amines, carboxylic acids, etc.) that may be present in a protected form, utilizing protecting groups (e.g., esters, carbonates, ethers, silyl ethers, amides, carbamates, etc.) introduced by methods well known in the art. The art is also replete with methodology to remove these protecting groups. Where the compounds synthesized are used as antimicrobials, they may be in acid form, or as a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, biohydrolyzable ester, or solvate thereof.

Many such compounds are well known in the art, as described in the following articles, all incorporated by reference herein: E. Plueddemann, "Silylating Agents", in: Kirk-Othmer, 3d ed., Vol. 20, "Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology" (1982); I. Fleming, "Organic Silicon Chemistry", in: Vol. 3, "Comprehensive Organic Chemistry" (D. Jones, editor, 1979); B. Cooper, "Silylation in Organic Synthesis", Proc. Biochem. 9 (1980); W. Weber, "Silicon Reagents for Organic Synthesis (1983); B. Cooper, "Silylation as a Protective Method in Organic Synthesis, Chem. Ind. 794 (1978); J. Rasmussen, "O-Silylated Enolates--Versatile Intermediates for Organic Synthesis" 91 Synthesis (1977).

Preferred cationic salts include the alkali metal salts (such as sodium and potassium), and alkaline earth metal salts (such as magnesium and calcium). Preferred anionic salts include the halides (such as chloride salts).
A "protected form", as referred to herein, is a derivative of the described compound wherein certain functional groups contained in the structures (such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amino groups) are blocked in order to prevent undesired competing side reactions and, occasionally, to improve the solubility of the compound. Suitable protecting groups for carboxyl substituents include, for example, esters. Protecting groups for hydroxyl substituents include, for example, ethers, esters, and carbonates; and protecting groups for amino substituents include, for example, carbamates and amides. If various protecting groups are employed, then appropriate methods for introducing and removing the protecting groups, that will not decompose the quinolone or related heterocyclic compound, may be required to efficiently obtain antibacterially active products or intermediates thereof. Appropriate protecting groups for these processes are well known in the art. For hydroxyl groups, suitable derivatives include, for example, alkyl ethers �such as allyl, tert-butyl, and 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl!, silyl ethers (such as trimethylsilyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl, tert-butyldiphenylsilyl), esters (such as acetate and trifluoroacetate) and carbonates (such as allyl and vinyl). For amines, suitable carbamates include, for example, tert-butyl and 2-trimethylsilyl, and suitable amides include, for example, trifluoroacetamide. For carboxylic acids, suitable esters include, for example, allyl, p-methoxybenzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, diphenylmethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, 2-trimethylsilylethyl, 2-methylthioethyl, trimethylsilyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl, t-butyl, and tributylstannyl esters. Such protecting groups and methods for their introduction and removal are described in T. W. Greene et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2d edition, J. Wiley and Sons (1991), incorporated by reference herein.
A "biohydrolyzable ester" is an ester of a quinolone that does not essentially interfere with the antimicrobial activity of the compounds, or that are readily metabolized by a human or lower animal subject to yield an antimicrobially-active quinolone. Such esters include those that do not interfere with the biological activity of quinolone antimicrobials. Many such esters are known in the art, as described in World Patent Publication 87/05297, Johnston et al., published Sep. 11, 1987, (incorporated by reference herein). Such esters include lower alkyl esters, lower acyloxy-alkyl esters (such as acetoxymethyl, acetoxyethyl, aminocarbonyloxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl and pivaloyloxyethyl esters), lactonyl esters (such as phthalidyl and thiophthalidyl esters), lower alkoxyacyloxyaIkyl esters (such as methoxycarbonyloxymethyl, ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl and isopropoxycarbonyloxyethyl esters), alkoxyalkyl esters, choline esters, and alkyl acylamino alkyl esters (such as acetamidomethyl esters).
As defined above and as used herein, substituent groups may themselves be substituted. Such substitution may be with one or more substituents. Such substituents include those listed in C. Hansch and A. Leo, Substituent Constants for Correlation Analysis in Chemistry and Biology (1979), incorporated by reference herein. Preferred substituents include (for example) alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, hydroxy, oxo, nitro, amino, aminoalkyl (e.g., aminomethyl, etc.), cyano, halo, carboxy, alkoxyacyl (e.g., carboethoxy, etc.), thiol, aryl, cycloalkyl, heteroaryl, heterocycloalkyl (e.g., piperidinyl, morpholinyl, pyrrolidinyl, etc.), imino, thioxo, hydroxyalkyl, aryl oxy, aryl alkyl, and combinations thereof.
Also, as used in defining the structure of the compounds of this invention, a particular radical may be defined for use as a substituent in multiple locations. For example, the R.sup.8 substituent is defined as a potential substituent of R.sup.7, but is also incorporated into the definition of other substituents (such as R.sup.1, and R.sup.6). As used herein, such a radical is independently selected each time it is used (e.g., R.sup.8 need not be alkyl in all occurrences in defining a given compound of this invention).
Groups A.sup.1, A.sup.2, A.sup.3, R.sup.1, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.6 form any of a variety of quinolone, naphthyridine, lactam-quinolone, or related heterocyclic moieties known in the art to have antimicrobial activity.

Methods of Manufacture:
The processes of this invention, when making a QLA, comprise the steps of
(1) coupling a compound having a structure according to Formula (iii) with a lactam compound of the Formula (ii) to form an intermediate compound; and
(2) cyclizing the intermediate by reaction with an organosilicon compound to give Q--L--B.
The intermediate compounds (M-L.sup.1 -L-L.sup.2 -B) of the present invention are prepared by the coupling step (1).
The identity of the compound of Formula (II) and the lactam compound used in coupling Step (1) will be dictated, in part, by the linking group (i.e., -L.sup.1 -L-L.sup.2) of the desired intermediate or QLA end product. Using the present disclosure, those skilled in the art will recognize which materials will be utilized to prepare the desired intermediate or QLA according to the present invention. That is, the starting materials and resulting intermediates must be appropriately substituted to allow synthesis of the desired linking moiety.
The following general reaction schemes exemplify means for obtaining the various linking moieties described above. For each linking moiety, an exemplary reaction scheme is provide for making an intermediate of the formula (M -L.sup.1)-L -(L.sup.2 -B) (coupling step) and a QLA (the cyclization step).
For example, intermediates and QLAs having a carbamate linking moiety may be made according to the processes of the present invention as follows:
Step (1): (II)--NH+X--C(O)--O--CH.sub.2 --Lact.fwdarw.(iv)--N--C(O)--O--CH.sub.2 --Lact
Step (2): Cyclize to yield Quin--N--C(O)--O--CH.sub.2 --Lact
where "(II)" represents a compound of Formula (II), which is described above; "(iv)" represents a moiety of Formula (iv), which is described above; X is a reactive leaving group (such as alkoxy, halo, or N-heteroalkyl); "Lact" generically represents an appropriately protected lactam-containing structure (such as carbapenem, penem, cephem, monocyclic beta-lactam, oxacephem, or carbacephem); and "Quin" represents an appropriately protected quinolone. The sequence can be envisioned as formation of the intermediate lactam carbonate derivative, followed by acylation of an amino functionality of a compound of Formula (II) to form a carbamate coupled lactam intermediate, followed by cyclization to form a carbamate-linked QLA.
When making carbamate-linked intermediates and QLAs, an optional step of reacting the compound of Formula (II) with an organosilicon compound may be performed prior to the coupling step (1). This step is illustrated in Examples 1 through 5 hereinbelow.
Alternately, "reversed" carbamate linking-moieties can be prepared by the following sequence:
Step (1): (II)--CH.sub.2 OC(.dbd.O)--X+H.sub.2 N--CH.sub.2 --Lact.fwdarw.Lact--CH.sub.2 --NHC(.dbd.O)O--CH.sub.2 --(iv)
Step (2): Cyclize to yield Lact--CH.sub.2 --NHC(.dbd.O)O--CH.sub.2 --Quin
where "(II)" represents a compound of Formula (II), which is described above; "(iv)" represents a moiety of Formula (iv), which is described above; X is a reactive leaving group (such as alkoxy, halo, or N-heteroaryl); "Lact" generically represents an appropriately protected lactam-containing structure (such as a penem, carbapenem, cephem, or carbacephem); and "Quin" represents an appropriately protected quinolone. The sequence can be envisioned as formation of a carbonate derivative of a compound of Formula (H), followed by acylation of a lactam amino functionality to form a carbamate coupled conjugate of the lactam intermediate (step(1)), followed by cyclization to form a reversed carbamate linked QLA.
Lactam-Quinolones having a dithiocarbamate linking moiety may be made by the following general reaction sequence:
Step (1): M.sup.+ SC(.dbd.S)N--(II)+Lact--CH.sub.2 X .fwdarw.Lact--CH.sub.2 --SC(.dbd.S)N--(iv)
Step (2): Cyclize to yield Lact--CH.sub.2 --SC(.dbd.S)N--Quin
where "(II)" represents a compound of Formula (II), which is described above, "(iv)" represents a moiety of Formula (iv), which is described above; X is a reactive leaving group (such as halo, a sulfonate ester, acetate, thiobenzoate or other activated hydroxyl functionality); "Lact" generically represents an appropriately protected lactam-containing structure (such as a penem, carbapenem, cephem monocyclic beta-lactam, oxacephem, or carbacephem); and "Quin" represents an appropriately protected quinolone. The sequence can be envisioned as formation of a dithiocarbamate salt of a compound of Formula (II), followed by nucelophilic displacement of the lactam X substituent to form a dithiocarbamate coupled conjugate of the lactam intermediate (intermediate), followed by cyclization to yield a dithiocarbamate linked QLA.

Synthetic methods for producing such lactams are well-known in the chemical literature. See, for example, Antibiotics, Chemotherapeutics, and Antibacterial Agents for Disease Control, pages 107-125 (M. Grayson, editor, 1982), incorporated by references herein.

(a) a step, prior to said coupling step, wherein a compound of Formula (ii), a compound of Formula (II), or both are protected; and
(b) deprotection steps, after said cyclization step, wherein the protection groups are removed.

More preferred is a mole ratio of from about 2:1 to about 12:1. Most preferred is a mole ratio of about 2:1 to about 6:1.
