For 2-methylceph-3-em derivatives, there can exist two isomeric forms of 2.alpha.-methyl and 2.beta.-methyl isomers. For the 2-methyl-3-heterocyclic-thiomethylceph-3-em derivatives which fall into the scope of the compound of the general formula (I), one of the objective compounds of the present invention, there also exist two isomers, the 2.alpha.- and 2.beta.-isomers. For the reason of this, in the above general formulas, the 2.alpha.-methyl isomer is designated as CH.sub.3 and the 2.beta.-methyl isomer as CH.sub.3, while the sign, CH.sub.3, is employed to indicate that both isomers are included or any of them may be included. Of the cephalosporin skeleton, the portion indicated by the dotted line in the six-membered ring shows that a double bond is situated in either the 2- or 3-position.
The 2.alpha.-methyl isomer can be determined by NMR spectrum, i.e. in the 2.alpha.-methyl isomer the Nuclear Overhauser Effect (NOE) is observed between the methyl at the 2-position and the proton at the 6-position of the cephem ring.
The objective compounds of the present invention, (I), (II) and (VI) can be synthesized, for example, from the 2-methyleneceph-3-em derivatives of the general formula (III). As to the compounds of the formulas (I) to (VI), the reaction of converting a compound represented by the formula wherein the R.sup.1 is an acyl group derived from an organic acid into a compound represented by the formula wherein the R.sup.1 is hydrogen, and the reaction of converting a latter compound into a compound represented by the formula wherein the R.sup.1 is another acyl group derived from an organic carboxylic acid can be carried out in the manner per se known for deacylation and acylation of cephalosporin derivatives having no substituent at the 2-position (for example, the former reaction is disclosed in U.K. Patent Application Nos. 1041985 and 1239814, and the latter reaction is described in German Published Patent Application Nos. 2461478 and 2556736.). ##STR32##
The 2-methyleneceph-3-em derivative (III), which is employed as the foremost starting material, can be synthesized by means of per se known methods by introducing a methylene group into the 2-position of a cephalosporanic acid-1-oxide derivative. Thus, the compound can be synthesized for example by reacting a cephalosporanic acid derivative with formaldehyde or a reactive derivative thereof in an appropriate solvent (e.g. a mixed solvent of dichloromethane and tert-butanol) in the presence of salts of condensates from formaldehyde and primary or secondary amine [e.g. salts of H.sub.2 C.dbd.N.sup.+ (CH.sub.3).sub.2 ] or salts of amines with acids. The 2-methyl-3-formyloxymethylceph-2-em derivative of the general formula (IIb) can be produced by reacting the compound of the general formula (III) with zinc-formic acid. In this case, formic acid of not less than at least an equimolar amount is desirably added.
The starting compound of the general formula (III) may be either a sulfide (n=0) or a sulfoxide (n=1), but in the case of a sulfoxide, it undergoes simultaneously reduction. In this reaction, formic acid is usable both as a reagent (formate anion source) and a solvent, but an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and hexamethylphosphoramide may be used as a solvent, if necessary. Especially, dimethylformamide and hexamethylphosphoramide are preferable in that they accelerate the reaction. The reaction is normally carried out at temperature of -30.degree. C. to room temperature. The concentration of formic acid is preferably 70% or more. In such case, with decreasing concentration of formic acid, 2,3-diexomethylenecepham derivatives of the general formula (VI) are by-produced, resulting in decreased yields of a 2-methyl-3-formyloxymethylceph-2-em derivative.
In this reaction step, utilization of acetic acid in place of formic acid yields only the compound (VI) as the reaction product. The compound (VI) is useful as an intermediate for the synthesis of e.g. 2-methylene-3-methylceph-3-em derivatives and 2-oxo-3-methoxyceph-3-em derivatives.
The hydrolysis from a 2-methyl-3-formyloxymethylceph-2-em derivative (IIb) to a 2-methyl-3-hydroxymethylceph-2-em derivative of the general formula (IId) can be conducted by means of the methods known for the hydrolysis of formyl of 3-formyloxymethylcephem derivatives not having a methyl group in the 2-position. For example, the hydrolysis of (IIb) is conducted under acid conditions. In this case, it is desirably conducted under dilution with a protic solvent such as lower alkanols, preferably an inert solvent such as dimethylformamide, dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, dioxane, etc. The acid conditions are desirably not higher than pH 4, advantageously pH 1 to 3. As an acid, use is made of inorganic and organic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, perchloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, hydrobromic acid and nitric acid.
The compound (IId) can be produced advantageously by conducting the hydrolysis at a temperature within the range of 0.degree. to 50.degree. C., preferably 15.degree. to 40.degree. C.
In order to derive a 2-methyl-3-heterocyclic-thiomethylceph-2-em derivative of the general formula (Ib') from a compound of the general formula (IId'), for example, the method is employed of reacting (IId') with a halogenating reagent selected from phosphorus trihalides, phosphoryl halides and thionyl halides and reacting the resultant 3-halomethylceph-2-em derivative with a heterocyclic thiol compound of the general formula, HS--Z (VII) (wherein Z is a heterocyclic group which may substituted). The first stage of this reaction step involves production of a 3-halomethylceph-2-em intermediate and comprises reacting a 3-hydroxymethyl derivative (IId') with a halogenating agent selected from phosphorus trihalides, phosphoryl halides and thionyl halides, preferably from phosphorus trichloride, phosphoryl chloride and thionyl chloride. In this case, the halogenating agent of at least 1 mole against 1 mole of (IId') is required to be used. In order to obtain the 3-halomethylceph-2-em intermediate in high yields, however, further excessive amount of the halogenating agent is required, and the halogenating agent is preferably used in quantities 1.2 to 2 times the theoretical ones against 1 mole of (IId'). Moreover, it is useful in increasing the yields to conduct the reaction in the presence of a tertiary amine, such as pyridine and triethylamine, of an amount equimolar with the halogenating agent used. The reaction is conducted in an inert solvent such as acetonitrile, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, acetone and ethyl acetate, whereby such solvents are employed solely or as a mixed solvent. The reaction temperature is conveniently of relatively low temperatures, and the reaction is conducted normally at temperatures of -30.degree. to 20.degree. C., preferably -10.degree. to 0.degree. C. The reaction normally proceeds fast and can be completed within about 30 minutes. The typical reaction time is 5 to 30 minutes. After completion of the reaction, the product is treated by conventional procedures. The resultant 3-halomethylceph-2-em derivative is treated in the subsequent second step, whereby the 3-halomethylceph-2-em derivative is not necessarily required to be isolated in the pure state but the partly purified compound can be generally utilized in the subsequent reaction directly without being further purified. Thus, the 3-halomethylceph-2-em derivative is reacted with a heterocyclic thiol compound of the general formula (VII) of at least equimolar quantities to obtain (Ib'). The reaction is conducted for example in any of inert organic solvents, solely or as a mixed solvent, such as acetonitrile, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, ethyl acetate, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide and hexamethylphosphoramide, etc. The reaction is normally conducted at room temperature, but warming may be made to such an extent as not to destroy the reaction product, when the rate of reaction is slow. In this reaction, it is preferable to use the heterocyclic thiol compound in not less than 1.5 times the theoretical quantity against 1 mole of (IId'). The compound (Ib') obtained in this way can be purified and isolated by a conventional procedure. The 2-methyl-3-acetoxymethylceph-2-em derivative of the general formula (IIc) can be produced by treating a 2-exomethylene derivative (III) with an alkali metal borohydride such as sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, lithium borohydride and sodium trimethoxyborohydride.
In this case, the compound (III) may be either a sulfide (n=0) or a sulfoxide (n=1) but, in the case of (III) being a sulfoxide, reduction of the sulfoxide to the sulfide takes place simultaneously. The reaction is preferably conducted in any of inert solvents, solely or as a mixed solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyleneglycol monomethyl ether, dimethylformamide, etc. The reaction temperature is desirably in the range of -5.degree. to 5.degree. C. Isomerization of the 2-methylceph-2-em derivatives (Ib'), (IIc') and (IIe') to the 2-methylceph-3-em derivatives (Ic'), (IVa') and (V') can be effected by means of the method already known for a ceph-2-em derivative which permits isomerizing to a ceph-3-em derivative via a ceph-3-em-1-oxide derivative. As an oxidizing agent employed to obtain the 2-methylceph-3-em-1-oxide derivatives (Ic'), (IVa') and (V') [wherein n=1], use is made of organic and inorganic peracids. Specifically as such peracids, use is made for example of percarboxylic acids such as performic acid, peracetic acid, trifluoroperacetic acid, permaleic acid, perbenzoic acid, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, monoperphthalic acid, p-toluenepersulfonic acid, etc. and inorganic peracids such as persulfonic acid, hydrogen peroxide, periodic acid and persulfuric acid, etc. These peracids are utilized solely or as a mixture of two or more peracids. The oxidizing agent is normally utilized in at least an equivalent amount. Preferably, it is utilized in about 10 to 20% excess. Nevertheless, it is possible to employ the oxidizing agent in a large excess of 10-fold quantities or more. The reaction conditions are such relatively mild conditions as the temperature of -50.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably -10.degree. to 40.degree. C. If necessary, a reaction-controlling agent such as isopropanol may be allowed to coexist. The oxidation reaction is normally conducted in the presence of an appropriate solvent. Selection of the solvent depents particularly upon the solubility of a starting substance and type of selected oxidizing agent, and, for example, dichloromethane, chloroform, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, acetic acid, ethyl acetate, etc. are used solely or as a mixed solvent.
Reduction of the 2-methylceph-3-em-1-oxide derivatives (Ia), (Ic) and (IV) [wherein n=1] to the sulfides (Ia), (Ic) and (IV) [wherein n=0] can be effected by treating with a reducing agent by means of the method already known for reducing a ceph-3-em-1-oxide derivative to the corresponding sulfide. As the reducing agent, use is advantageously made of trihalophosphines such as phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus tribromide, etc., halosilanes such as trichlorosilane, etc., quaternary chloromethyleneiminium salts such as chloromethylenedimethyliminium chloride, etc. The reduction of the sulfoxide can be effected by utilizing, in the presence of acid halides, e.g. specifically such activated reagents as acetyl chloride, anionic reducing agent such as S.sub.2 O.sub.4.sup.2-, I.sup.- and ferrocyanide ions, cationic reducing agents such as Sn.sup.2+, Fe.sup.2+ and Cu.sup.+ ions, trivalent phosphorus compounds such as phosphines and phosphites, and the like, or by means of catalytic reduction with use of transition metal catalysts containing palladium, platinum, rhodium, etc. Such reduction reaction is normally conducted in the presence of a suitable solvent. Selection of the solvent depends particularly upon the solubility of a starting substance and type of selected reducing agent, and, for example, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, chloroform, acetonitrile, acetic acid, ethyl acetate, etc. are used solely or as a mixed solvent.
The method of producing a 2.beta.-methyl-3-heterocyclicthiomethylceph-3-em derivative of the general formula: ##STR33## [wherein R.sup.1, --COOR.sup.2, Z and n are as defined hereinbefore], which comprises reacting a 2.beta.-methyl-3-acetoxymethylceph-3-em derivative of the general formula (IVa) or a salt thereof with a heterocyclic thiol compound of the general formula (VII) or a salt thereof, can be carried out by means of the method already known as the technique of converting a 3-acetoxymethylceph-3-em derivative not having a methyl group in the 2-position into a 3-heterocyclic thiomethyl derivative. Thus, the compound (IVa) is dissolved in water or an aqueous organic solvent at pH 6 to 8, and a heterocyclic thiol compound of the general formula (VII) or a salt thereof is added to the solution to allow them to react. The reaction temperature is in the range of room temperature to 100.degree. C., suitably in the range of 50.degree. to 70.degree. C. The reaction time varies with the reaction temperature, and is 30 minutes to 10 hours. In this case, utilization of a buffer solution yields satisfactory results. In addition, a heterocyclic thiol compound of the general formula (VII) or a salt thereof may be made to act on it in the presence of halides or inorganic salts of metals of Group I and Group II such as potassium iodide, sodium iodide, calcium iodide, barium iodide, sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, barium chloride and magnesium chloride, or in the presence of boron trifluoride or a complex compound thereof.
Oxidation of a 2-methyl-3-hydroxymethylceph-2-em derivative (IId') to a 2-methyl-3-formylceph-2-em derivative (IIe') can be effected by means of the method already known for oxidation of a 3-hydroxymethylceph-2-em derivative without a methyl group in the 2-position to a 3-formylceph-2-em derivative. Thus, the procedure of oxidizing the corresponding (IId') with use of manganese dioxide or chromium trioxide, preferably a reagent consisting of chromium trioxide added in sulfuric acid-water called the Jones reagent and a chromium trioxide.pyridine complex called the Collins reagent, the method of oxidizing with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone, or the procedure of introducing into a 3-halomethyl group and then oxidizing with aliphatic sulfoxides in the presence of a silver compound, etc. are used.
2.alpha.-Methyl-3-formylceph-2-em derivatives (IIe) and 2.alpha.-methyl-3-formylceph-3-em derivatives (V) can be utilized as starting materials for synthesizing 2.alpha.-methyl-3-(O-substituted-oxyiminomethyl)cephem derivatives (Y.sup.2 =--CH.dbd.NOR; Y.sup.2 designates a 3-position substituent derived from a formyl group in the 3-position, and R is a suitable substituent) such as 2.alpha.-methyl-3-methoxyiminomethylcephem derivatives and 2.alpha.-methyl-3-morpholinoethoxyiminomethylcephem derivatives. Furthermore, 2-methyl-3-formylcephem derivatives are compounds useful as starting materials for synthesizing 2-methyl-3-substituted-cephem derivatives such as 2-methyl-3-(2-substituted-vinyl)cephem derivatives (Y.sup.2 =--CH.dbd.CH--R), 2-methyl-3-(3-substituted-hydrazonomethyl)cephem derivatives ##STR34## 2-methyl-3-(4-substituted-thiosemicarbazono)methylcephem derivatives ##STR35## 2-methyl-3-(5-substituted-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-yl)methylcephem derivatives ##STR36## 2-methyl-3-carboxycephem derivatives (Y.sup.2 =--COOH), 2-methyl-3-cyanocephem derivatives (Y.sup.2 =--CN), etc. In cases in which amino (inclusive of basic nitrogen containing groups other than amino group), hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, etc. in the moieties of R.sup.1, R.sup.1' and Z of the compounds falling into the extent of claim for patent of the present invention contain a functional group capable of participating in the reaction of producing the objective compound of the present invention to produce side-reactions, it is desirable to protect such functional group with a suitable protective group in advance of producing the objective compound.
In this case, as the protective group for the amino group, use is made of aromatic acyl groups such as phthaloyl, benzoyl, p-nitrobenzoyl, p-chlorobenzoyl, toluoyl, p-tert-butylbenzoyl, phenylacetyl, phenoxyacetyl, naphthoyl, benzenesulfonyl, p-toluenesulfonyl, p-tert-butylbenzenesulfonyl, etc., aliphatic acyl groups such as acetyl, propionyl, valeryl, caprylyl, n-decanoyl, acryloyl, pivaloyl, monochloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, methanesulfonyl, camphorsulfonyl, etc., esterified carboxyl groups such as ethoxycarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl, iso-bornyloxycarbonyl, cyclohexyloxycarbonyl, phenyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, etc., carbamoyl groups such as methylcarbamoyl, phenylcarbamoyl, naphthylcarbamoyl, etc., or similar thiocarbamoyl groups, and silyl groups such as trimethylsilyl and dimethylsilyl, etc. In addition, the protective groups for the amino group other than the above, as described by J. W. Barton in the chapter 2 of the publication edited by McOmie, are also used similarly.
As the protective group for the hydroxyl group, use is made of acyl groups such as formyl, acetyl, monochloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, methoxyacetyl, phenoxyacetyl, benzoyl, benzoylformyl, p-nitrobenzoyl, ethoxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-tribromoethoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, p-nitrophenoxycarbonyl, etc., as well as tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydrothiofuranyl, methoxytetrahydropyranyl, trityl, benzyl, tert-butyl, trimethylsilyl, dimethylsilyl groups, etc. In addition, similarly usable are the protective groups for the alcoholic hydroxyl groups other than the above-mentioned, as described by C. B. Reese in the chapter 3 of the above publication edited by McOmie, and the protective groups for the phenolic hydroxyl groups other than the above-mentioned, as described by E. Haslam in the chapter 4 thereof.
As the protective group for the carboxyl group, use is made for example of methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl, tert-amyl, phenyl, p-nitrophenyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, trityl, benzhydryl, bis(p-methoxyphenyl)methyl, methoxymethyl, ethoxymethyl, benzyloxymethyl, phenacyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, acetoxymethyl, phthalidyl, 2-methylthioethyl, trimethylsilyl, dimethylsilyl, etc. In addition, the protective groups for the carboxyl group other than the above-mentioned, as described by E. Haslam in the chapter 5 of the above publication edited by McOmie, are used similarly.
In short, by using these protective groups to protect in advance of the reaction the functional groups capable of participating in the reaction, the protective groups may be left as they are contained after completion of the reaction to thereby produce the final objective compounds of the present invention, or the protective groups may be removed after completion of the reaction to thereby produce the final objective compounds. After all, since type of protective groups, means of introducing them and means of removing them are well known and established techniques in the fields of cephalosporins, penicillins and peptides, such techniques may be employed in the present invention as well.
The cephalosporin derivatives of the present invention, as represented by the general formulas (Ic), (Id) and (IV), and their pharmacologically allowable salts possess excellent antibacterial activities against both gram-positive bacteria (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, etc.) and gram-negative bacteria (e.g. Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus morganii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, etc.) and are low in toxicity, thus being safely employed as the prophylactic or therapeutic agent for infections obserbed in man or animals such as rats (mice.cndot.rats), etc., due to these bacteria or as a disinfectant for surgical instruments, sickrooms, etc. These compounds may be combined with a suitable carrier or excipient such as lactose, starch etc., to administer locally as a powder preparation, or may be dissolved or suspended in a liquid for dissolution such as physiological saline solution, etc., to use as a solution or suspension.
The objective compounds of the present invention can be employed in the same manner as known cephalosporin antibiotics such as cephalothin. When the objective compounds of the present invention are used as a disinfectant, it is desirable to use aqueous solutions (of which concentration is about twice the minimal growth inhibitory concentration) of the objective compounds of the present invention.
