[0024] R′a is a radical of the heterocyclylthio type which may be substituted or alternatively represents a radical having the structure ═CHR′a for which R′a is an alkylamino, alkyloxy or alkylthio radical which are substituted, or a radical of the heterocyclylamino, heterocyclyloxy or heterocyclylthio type which may be substituted, Rb and Rc are hydrogen atoms and Rd is a hydrogen atom or a dimethylamino radical, or alternatively

[0025] Ra is a hydrogen atom and Rb is hydrogen or methyl, Rc and Rd are hydrogen or various substituents have been described in patents or patent applications EP 133097, EP 248703, EP 770132 and EP 772630. Combined with a semisynthetic component of the group A streptogramins, they manifest a synergistic action and can be used as antibacterial agents either by the injection route alone, or solely by the oral route.

[0026] The streptogramin derivatives of general formula (I) are particularly advantageous because of their potent activity both by the oral and parenteral routes, which offers them an undeniable advantage in the case especially of treatments of serious infections, in a hospital setting by the injection route, followed by an ambulatory treatment by the oral route which is easier to administer to patients. Thus, the practitioner is no longer obliged to change the patient's medicament between the end of the hospital treatment and the overall end of the treatment.

[0027] According to the invention, the streptogramin derivatives for which Y is a radical ═CR3— and R3 is other than an alkyl radical may be prepared by the action of an enamino ester of general formula: 4

[0028] in which R1 is defined as above and R represents the residue of an easily hydrolysable ester or an alkyl radical, on the corresponding 5δ-methylenepristinamycin derivative of general formula: 5

[0029] in which Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as above, R2 is defined as above and R4 is a hydrogen atom, or R2 represents a hydrogen atom and R4 is a hydrogen atom or a dialkylamino radical, followed where appropriate by the conversion of the ester obtained to an acid, and then optionally by its decarboxylation, or by the conversion of the acid to a carbamoyl radical according to the derivative of general formula (I) desired, and/or followed where appropriate by the conversion of the derivative of general formula (I) for which R1 is hydroxymethyl to a derivative for which R1 is a radical formyl, and then where appropriate carboxyl, and then where appropriate alkyloxycarbonyl or —CONR′R″ and/or optionally followed by the mono-N-demethylation of the derivative of general formula (I) for which Rd is a dimethylamino radical to a derivative for which Rd is methylamino, and then optionally followed by the conversion to a salt when they exist.

[0030] Residue of an easily hydrolysable ester is understood to mean, for example and with no limitation being implied, the residue of the benzyl, methyl, trimethylsilylethyl, ethyl, allyl or t-butyl ester.

[0031] The reaction is generally carried out in an organic solvent such as an alcohol for example (methanol, ethanol in particular), at a temperature of between 40° C. and the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture.

[0032] The conversion to an acid, an amide, or the decarboxylation in order to obtain a derivative in which R3 is carboxyl, carbamoyl having the structure —CO—NR′R″ or a hydrogen atom, is carried out according to known methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule and more particularly according to the methods mentioned below in the examples.

[0033] In particular, when it is desired to obtain a pristinamycin derivative of general formula (I) for which R3 is a carboxyl radical, the benzyl ester is advantageously prepared. The hydrolysis of the esters is carried out according to known methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule, for example the methods mentioned by T. W. Greene Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, A. Wiley-Interscience Publication (1981), or by Mc Omie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press (1973). By way of example, the residue of the benzyl ester may be hydrolysed by treatment with 1,4-cyclohexadiene in the presence of palladium hydroxide on carbon, in an alcoholic medium (methanol, ethanol for example), at a temperature of between 0 and 60° C.

[0034] When it is desired to prepare a derivative of general formula (I) for which R3 is —CO—NR′R″, the product of general formula (I) obtained for which R3 is carboxyl is treated according to the usual methods for converting acids to amides, which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. In particular, the corresponding amine is reacted with the acid in the presence of a condensing agent (carbodiimide for example) at a temperature of between 0 and 60° C., in an organic solvent such as a chlorinated solvent (chloroform, dichloromethane for example), an amide (dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone for example).

[0035] When it is desired to obtain a streptogramin derivative of general formula (I) for which R3 is a hydrogen atom, the product for which R3 is carboxyl is decarboxylated according to the customary methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. In particular, the procedure may be carried out according to the method described by Barton, Tetrahedron, 44(17), 5479-86 (1988), by formation of the N-hydroxypyridine-2-thione ester, and then photolysis in the presence of tert-butylthiol for example.

[0036] The mono-N-demethylation of the streptogramin derivative of general formula (I) for which Rd is dimethylamino may be carried out according to the method described in patent application EP 821697 by treatment with a periodate in an acetic medium followed by a treatment in an aqueous acid medium or a treatment with an agent capable of consuming formaldehyde in situ.

[0037] The conversion of the radical R1=hydroxymethyl to a formyl radical may be carried out by the action of selenium oxide by analogy with J. Korean Chem. Soc., 38(7), 537-8 (1994).

[0038] The conversion of the radical R1=formyl to a carboxyl radical is carried out according to the customary methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. In particular, tin oxide may be used as described in Heterocycles 32(10), 1933-40 (1991).

[0039] The conversion of the radical R1=carboxyl to an alkyloxycarbonyl radical is carried out according to the customary methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. In particular as described in The Chemistry of Acid Derivatives, Part I, page 411, Ed. S. Patai, John Wiley & Sons (1979).

[0040] The conversion of the radical R1=carboxyl to a carbamoyl radical having the structure —CO—NR′R″ is carried out according to the customary methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. In particular, the corresponding amine is reacted with the acid in the presence of a condensing agent according to conventional methods of peptide chemistry: M. Bodanszky, Principles of Peptides Synthesis, Springer Verlag, Berlin-Heidelberg-New-York-Tokyo (1984).

[0041] According to the invention, the streptogramin derivatives of general formula (I) for which Y is a radical ═CR3— and R3 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical may be prepared by the action of a pyridinium salt of general formula: 6

[0042] in which R3 is defined as above, R5 is the residue of a ketone R1—CO— for which R1 is defined as above with the exception of representing a radical —NR′R″, or optionally represents a protected hydroxyl radical or a nitrophenyl radical or alternatively R5 represents the cyano radical so as to obtain a streptogramin derivative for which R1 is an amino radical, and X is an anion, on the corresponding 5δ-methylene-pristinamycin of general formula (III) in which R4 is a hydrogen atom and Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd and R2 are defined as above optionally followed by the liberation of the hydroxyl radical or where appropriate the reduction of the nitrophenyl radical so as to obtain a derivative for which R1 is an aminophenyl radical, or optionally followed by the action of an amine of general formula HNR′R″ on the streptogramin derivative of general formula (I) for which R1 is halomethyl, so as to obtain the corresponding derivative for which R1 is a radical —CH2NR′R″, or followed where appropriate by the conversion of the derivative of general formula (I) for which R1 is hydroxymethyl to a derivative for which R1 is a radical formyl, and then where appropriate carboxyl, and then where appropriate alkyloxycarbonyl or —CONR′R″ and/or optionally the mono- N-demethylation of the derivative of general formula (I) for which Rd is a dimethylamino radical to a derivative for which Rd is methylamino, and then optionally followed by the conversion to a salt, when they exist.

[0043] With no limitation being implied, the anion X− advantageously represents a halide anion (bromide, chloride or iodide for example).

[0044] The reaction is generally carried out in the presence of an ammonium salt (ammonium acetate for example), in a solvent such as an alcohol (methanol, ethanol for example), a nitrile (acetonitrile for example), an ester (ethyl acetate for example) or a ketone (acetone for example), at a temperature of between 40° C. and the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture.

[0045] When the radical R1 contains a hydroxyl substituent, it is preferable to protect this radical beforehand according to the methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. The protection and deprotection of the hydroxyl radical is carried out according to the customary methods. For example, the protection is carried out using an acetyl radical or using any other hydroxyl-protecting group whose introduction and removal are mentioned for example by T. W. Greene Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, A. Wiley-Interscience Publication (1981), or by Mc Omie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press (1973).

[0046] When it is desired to obtain a product for which R1 is aminophenyl, it is preferable to prepare the corresponding nitrophenyl derivative and then to carry out the reduction of the nitro radical of the derivative obtained. In particular, it is possible to carry out the procedure by reduction in an acid medium (hydrochloric acid) in the presence of iron.

[0047] When it is desired to obtain the streptogramin derivative of general formula (I) for which R1 is a radical —CH2NR′R″, an amine HNR′R″ is reacted with the corresponding streptogramin derivative of general formula (I) for which R1 is halomethyl, by carrying out the procedure in the presence of a tertiary amine (triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine for example) or an excess of the amine, in an organic solvent such as an ether (tetrahydrofuran, dioxane for example), an alcohol (methanol for example), a chlorinated solvent (chloroform, dichloromethane for example), a nitrile (acetonitrile for example) or dimethyl sulphoxide at a temperature of between 40° C. and the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture.

[0048] The mono-N-demethylation of the streptogramin derivative of general formula (I) for which Rd is dimethylamino may be carried out according to the method described in patent application EP 821697. The conversion of the radical R1=hydroxymethyl to a formyl radical may be carried out by the action of selenium oxide by analogy with J. Korean Chem. Soc., 38 (7), 537-8 (1994).

[0049] The conversion of the radical R1 formyl to a carboxyl radical is carried out according to the customary methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. In particular, tin oxide may be used as described in Heterocycles 32(10), 1933-40 (1991).

[0050] The conversion of the radical R1=carboxyl to an alkyloxycarbonyl radical is carried out according to the customary methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. In particular as described in The Chemistry of Acid Derivatives, Part I, page 411, Ed. S. Patai, John Wiley & Sons (1979).

[0051] The conversion of the radical R1=carboxyl to a carbamoyl radical having the structure —CO—NR′R″ is carried out according to the customary methods which do not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. In particular, the corresponding amine is reacted with the acid in the presence of a condensing agent according to conventional methods of peptide chemistry: M. Bodanszky, Principles of Peptides Synthesis, Springer Verlag, Berlin-Heidelberg-New-York-Tokyo (1984).

[0052] According to the invention, the streptogramin derivatives of general formula (I) for which Y is a nitrogen atom may be prepared by the action of a salt of an amidine or of a derivative of isourea or of isothiourea of general formula: 7

[0053] in which R1 is defined as for the general formula (I), with the exception of representing a radical XRo for which X is sulphonyl or sulphinyl, or a radical NR′R″ other than amino, on a streptogramin derivative of general formula (III) for which R4 is dialkylamino, and then in order to obtain a streptogramin derivative of general formula (I) for which R1 is a radical XRo for which X is sulphonyl or sulphinyl, oxidation of the corresponding derivative for which X is a sulphur atom, and then in order to obtain the streptogramin derivative of general formula (I) for which R1 is a radical NR′R″, substitution of the sulphonyl derivative obtained by the action of the corresponding amine HNR′R″ and/or optionally in order to obtain a derivative for which Rd is methylamino, demethylation of the derivative of general formula (I) for which Rd is a dimethylamino radical, and then optionally conversion to a salt, when they exist.

[0054] The reaction of the derivative of general formula (V) is generally carried out in an organic solvent such as an amide (dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide for example) or a nitrile (acetonitrile for example), in the presence of a base such as in particular a tertiary amine (diisopropylethylamine, triethylamine for example) or an alkali metal bicarbonate (sodium or potassium bicarbonate for example), at a temperature of between 50 and 100° C. The reaction is advantageously carried out using the hydrochloride, the sulphate or the hydrogen sulphate of the derivative of general formula (V).

[0055] The oxidation to a sulphinyl or sulphonyl derivative is carried out respectively by treatment with 1 or 2 equivalents of Oxone® in an acid medium (for example 0.1 to 2N, preferably 0.5 to 1N sulphuric acid), at a temperature of between −60 and 60° C., in a solvent such as an alcohol (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol for example). Depending on the product prepared, it may be optionally necessary for the oxidation operation to be followed by a treatment which reduces N-oxides by any known and specific method which does not adversely affect the rest of the molecule. In particular, it is possible to carry out the procedure by heating in the presence of iron in acetic acid, or by treatment with sodium bisulphite.

[0056] The subsequent operation of substituting with an amine may be carried out by the action of the corresponding amine of formula HNR′R″, either in excess or in the presence of a base such as for example an alkali metal bicarbonate (sodium or potassium bicarbonate for example), by carrying out the procedure at a temperature of between 20 and 100° C., in an organic solvent such as an amide (dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide for example) or a nitrile (acetonitrile for example).

[0081] Components of the group B streptogramins are also described in Streptogramine als Modelsysteme für den Kationentransport durch Membranen, Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Facultät der Georg-August Universität zu Göttingen, Göttingen 1979, in Antibiotics III, 521 (1975) and in Antibiotics of the virginiamycin family, Inhibitors which contain synergistic components, C. Cocito, Microbiological Reviews, 145-98 (1979).

[0082] Alternatively, the preparation of the natural components of group B may be carried out by specific fermentation, as described in patent application FR 2,689,518.

[0083] The streptogramin derivatives of general formula (VII) for which Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as for the general formula (I) in 3) are prepared as described in European application EP 772630.

[0084] The streptogramin derivatives of general formula (VII) for which Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as for the general formula (I) in 4) to 7) are prepared as described in European application EP 770132.

[0085] The streptogramin derivatives of general formula (VII) for which Ra, Rb and Rc are defined as for the general formula (I) in 5) and Rd is alkylsulphinyl or alkylsulphonyl may be prepared by oxidation of the corresponding product for which Rd is alkylthio.

[0086] The streptogramin derivatives of general formula (VII) for which Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as for the general formula (I) in 2) may be prepared from pristinamycin IB (Ra=ethyl) or from vernamycin Bδ (Ra=methyl) or from a streptogramin derivative of general formula (I) for which Ra, Rb and Rc are defined as in 3) and Rd is —NHCH3, by the action of a halogenated derivative of general formula:

R′″—X  (VIII)

[0087] in which R′″ is defined as for the general formula (I) in 2) and X is an iodine, bromine or chlorine atom, followed where appropriate by the chlorination or the bromination of the product obtained, when it is desired to obtain a derivative for which Rc is a chlorine or bromine atom, after starting with pristinamycin IB or with vernamycin Bδ.

[0088] The reaction is generally carried out in an organic solvent such as an amide (dimethylformamide for example), a chlorinated solvent (chloroform, dichloromethane for example), an alcohol (methanol, ethanol for example)/chlorinated solvent mixture, a nitrile (acetonitrile for example), in dimethyl sulphoxide or N-methylpyrrolidone, at a temperature of between 20 and 100° C., optionally in the presence of sodium iodide or an alkali metal bicarbonate (sodium or potassium). Preferably, the procedure is carried out under nitrogen. It is understood that when the radical R′″ contains an amino radical, it is preferable to protect this radical prior to the reaction. The protection and deprotection are carried out according to the methods indicated in the references cited above.

[0089] Where appropriate, the halogenation is advantageously carried out with an N-halosuccinimide, in an organic solvent such as a chlorinated solvent (dichloromethane, chloroform for example) or a nitrile (acetonitrile for example), at a temperature of between 20 and 80° C.

[0090] According to another alternative, the streptogramin derivatives of general formula (VII) for which Ra and Rb are defined as for the general formula (I), Rc is a hydrogen atom and Rd is a cyanomethyl methyl amino or alkyloxycarbonylmethyl methyl amino radical may also be prepared from pristinamycin IA (Ra=ethyl) or from pristinamycin IC (Ra=methyl) by the action of a halogenated derivative of general formula (VIII) in which R′″ represents cyanomethyl or alkyloxycarbonylmethyl.

[0091] The reaction is generally carried out in an organic solvent such as an amide (dimethylformamide for example) at a temperature of between 70 and 100° C. Preferably, the procedure is carried out under nitrogen.

[0092] The streptogramin derivatives of general formula (III) for which Ra is a methyl radical and Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as in the general formula (I) or for which Ra is an ethyl radical and Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as in the general formula (I) in 2) to 7) as well as the streptogramin derivatives of general formula (VII) for which Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as for the general formula (I) in 2), except for R′″ representing ethyl if Rb and Rc are hydrogen, are new products.

[0093] All these new intermediate products can be represented by the general formula: 10

[0094] in which Ra is a methyl radical and Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as in the general formula (I) or Ra is an ethyl radical and Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as in the general formula (I) in 2) to 7) and R5 represents a disubstituted methylenyl radical having the structure 11

[0095] for which R2 and R4 are defined as above, or alternatively in which Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd are defined as for the general formula (I) in 2), except for R′″ representing ethyl if Rb and Rc are hydrogen, and R5 is a hydrogen atom.

[0096] It is understood that the products of general formula (IX) are also within the scope of the present invention.

[0097] The streptogramin derivatives of general formula (I) or (IX) may be purified where appropriate by physical methods such as crystallization or chromatography.

[0098] Some of the streptogramin derivatives of general formula (I) may be converted to the state of addition salts with acids, by known methods. It is understood that these salts, when they exist, are also included within the scope of the present invention.

[0099] As examples of addition salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acids, there may be mentioned the salts formed with inorganic acids (hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulphates, nitrates, phosphates) or with organic acids (succinates, fumarates, tartrates, acetates, propionates, maleates, citrates, methanesulphonates, ethanesulphonates, phenyl sulphonates, p-toluenesulphonates, isethionates, naphthylsulphonates or camphorsulphonates, or with substitution derivatives of these compounds).

[0100] The derivatives carrying a carboxyl substituent may be converted to metal salts or to addition salts with nitrogenous bases according to methods known per se. These salts may be obtained by the action of a metal base (for example an alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal base), of ammonia or of an amine, on a product according to the invention, in an appropriate solvent such as an alcohol, an ether or water, or by an exchange reaction with a salt of an organic acid. The salt formed precipitates after optional concentration of the solution, it is separated by filtration, decantation or freeze-drying. As examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, there may be mentioned the salts with the alkali metals (sodium, potassium, lithium) or with the alkaline-earth metals (magnesium, calcium), the ammonium salt, the salts of nitrogenous bases (ethanolamine, diethanolamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, methylamine, propylamine, diisopropylamine, N,N-dimethylethanolamine, benzylamine, dicyclohexylamine, N-benzyl-β-phenethylamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, diphenylenediamine, benzhydrylamine, quinine, choline, arginine, lysine, leucine, dibenzylamine).

[0101] The streptogramin derivatives according to the present invention have antibacterial properties and properties synergizing the antibacterial activity of the group A streptogramin derivatives. They are particularly advantageous because of their activity alone or combined with components of the group A streptogramins and especially because of their activity both by the oral and parenteral route which opens the way for an ambulatory relay treatment without modifying the nature of the medicament.

[0102] When they are combined with a component or a group A streptogramin derivative, they may in particular be chosen, depending on whether it is desired to obtain an orally or parenterally administrable form, from the natural components: pristinamycin IIA, pristinamycin IIB, pristinamycin IIC, pristinamycin IID, pristinamycin IIE, pristinamycin IIF, pristinamycin IIG or from the semisynthetic derivatives as described in patents or patent applications U.S. Pat. No. 4,590,004 and EP 191662 or alternatively from the semisynthetic derivatives of general formula: 12

[0103] in which R1 is a radical —NR′R″ for which R′ is a hydrogen atom or a methyl radical, R″ is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, cycloalkyl, allyl, propargyl, benzyl or —OR′″ radical, R′″ being a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, cycloalkyl, allyl, propargyl or benzyl radical, or —NR3R4, it being possible for R3 and R4 to represent a methyl radical, or to form together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached a saturated or unsaturated 4- or 5-membered heterocycle which may in addition contain another heteroatom chosen from nitrogen, oxygen or sulphur, R2 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl radical, and the bond represents a single bond or a double bond, as well as their salts.

[0104] It is understood that the combinations of the derivatives according to the invention and of the group A streptogramins are also included within the scope of the present invention.

[0105] In vitro, combined with pristinamycin IIB, the products of general formula (I), according to the invention, have proved active at concentrations of between 0.25 and 16 mg/l on Staphylococcus aureus 209P. In vivo, on experimental infections of mice with Staphylococcus aureus IP 8203, the streptogramin derivatives of general formula (I) have proved active at doses of between 15 and 150 mg/kg orally, combined with pristinamycin IIB and between 5 and 150 mg/kg subcutaneously, combined with dalfopristin (CD50), [30/70 combinations].

[0106] Finally, the products according to the invention are particularly advantageous because of the low toxicity observed in the Staphylococcus aureus IP 8203 Septicaemia model in mice. All the products, in a 30/70 combination with a group A component proved atoxic with the exception of a few of them for which a low mortality was observed at the maximum administered dose of 300 mg/kg orally or subcutaneously, in 2 administrations at an interval of 5 hours.

[0107] Some of the intermediate products defined by the general formula (IX) also exhibit antibacterial properties, especially the subgroup of streptogramin derivatives of general formula (VII). In vivo, on experimental infections of mice with Staphylococcus aureus IP 8203, they proved active orally combined with pristinamycin IIB (30/70 combinations) at doses of between 25 and 150 mg/kg.

[0108] Of particular interest are the products of general formula (I) for which

[0109] Y is a nitrogen atom or a radical ═C R3—,

[0110] R1 is a hydrogen atom, a radical alkyl (1 to 8 carbons), cycloalkyl (3 to 8 carbons), heterocyclyl which is saturated or unsaturated (3 to 8 members), phenyl, phenyl which is substituted [with one or more amino, alkylamino or dialkylamino radicals] or a radical NR′R″, R′ and R″, which are identical or different, being capable of being hydrogen atoms or alkyl radicals (1 to 3 carbons), or being capable of forming together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached a 3- to 8-membered heterocycle optionally containing another heteroatom chosen from oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen which is optionally substituted with an alkyl radical, or alternatively when Y is a radical ═CR3—, R1 may also be halomethyl, hydroxymethyl, alkylthiomethyl in which the alkyl portion is optionally substituted with NR′R″, alkylsulphinylmethyl, alkylsulphonylmethyl, alkyloxymethyl, cyclopropylaminomethyl or —(CH2)nNR′R″ (n being an integer from 1 to 4 and R′ and R″ being defined as above), or alternatively if R3 is a hydrogen atom, R1 may also be formyl or —CONR′R″ for which R′ and R″ are defined as above, or alternatively when Y is a nitrogen atom, R1 may also be a radical —XR° for which X is an oxygen or sulphur atom, a sulphinyl or sulphonyl radical, or an NH radical and R° is a radical alkyl (1 to 8 carbons), heterocyclylmethyl (3 to 8 members) in which the heterocyclyl portion is attached to the methyl radical by a carbon atom, or a radical —(CH2)nNR′R″ for which R′ and R″ are defined as above and n is an integer from 2 to 4,

[0116] Rb is a hydrogen atom, Rd is a radical —NHCH3 or —N(CH3)2 and Rc is a chlorine or bromine atom.

[0117] And among these products, more particularly preferred are the products of general formula (I) for which

[0118] Y is a nitrogen atom or a radical ═CR3—,

[0119] R1 is a hydrogen atom, a radical alkyl (1 to 3 carbons), cycloalkyl (3 to 8 carbons), heterocyclyl which is saturated or unsaturated (3 to 8 members), phenyl, phenyl which is substituted with an amino radical, or alternatively when Y is a radical ═CR3—, R1 may also be acyloxymethyl, or alternatively when Y is a nitrogen atom, R1 may also be a radical —XRo for which X is an oxygen or sulphur atom or a radical NH and Ro is an alkyl radical (1 to 4 carbons) or a radical —(CH2)nNR′R″ for which R′ and R″ which are identical or different may be hydrogen atoms or alkyl radicals (1 to 3 carbons), or form together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached a 3- to 8-membered heterocycle optionally containing another heteroatom chosen from oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen optionally substituted with an alkyl radical, and n is an integer from 2 to 4,

[0131] 4ε-chloro-2″-ethylpyrido[2,3-5γ,5δ](4ζ-methylamino)(4ζ-dedimethylamino)pristinamycin IE.

[0132] The streptogramin derivatives of general formula (α) are prepared from components of natural pristinamycin of general formula: 13

[0133] in which R2 is defined as for the general formula (α), by the action of an amine of general formula:

H2N—R″  (γ)

[0134] in which R″ is defined as for the general formula (α), followed by the action of an agent for reducing the intermediate enamine (or oxime) obtained, and then, when it is desired to obtain a streptogramin derivative of general formula (α) for which R′ is a methyl radical, followed by a second reductive amination, by the action of formaldehyde or of a derivative generating formaldehyde in situ and the reduction of the intermediate enamine.

[0135] The action of the amine is carried out in an organic solvent such as an alcohol (methanol, ethanol for example), a chlorinated solvent (dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform for example), a nitrile (acetonitrile for example), pyridine, at a temperature of between 0 and 30° C., and optionally in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as for example magnesium sulphate, sodium sulphate or molecular sieves. Preferably, the procedure is carried out under an inert atmosphere (argon for example). It is also possible to cause the amine salt to react.

[0136] Preferably, to prepare the derivatives for which the bond represents a double bond, the reaction is carried out in an organic solvent such as a nitrile (acetonitrile for example) in the presence of an acid such as an organic acid (acetic acid for example); in this case, the addition of a dehydrating agent is not necessary.

[0137] When a streptogramin derivative of general formula (α) for which R″ is a radical —OR′″ is prepared, it is possible to isolate the intermediate oxime of general formula: 14

[0138] in which R2 and R′″ are defined as for the general formula (α), and then to reduce this product to a derivative of general formula (α) for which R′ is a hydrogen atom, and optionally use it in the subsequent reductive amination operation.

[0139] The reduction is carried out by the action of a reducing agent, for example an alkali metal borohydride (sodium cyanoborohydride or triacetoxyborohydride for example) in the presence of an organic acid (acetic acid for example) in an organic solvent as mentioned above for the amination reaction. Where appropriate, the subsequent reductive amination operation, intended to obtain the disubstituted amine, is carried out under similar conditions.

[0140] The following examples, given with no limitation being implied, illustrate the present invention.

[0143] The column chromatographies are performed, unless otherwise stated, at atmospheric pressure using a 0.063-0.02 mm silica. In a few specified cases, the purifications are done by flash chromatography using a 0.04-0.063 mm silica, or by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on C8 or C18 graft silica.

The mixture is refluxed for 6 hours and then an additional 0.1 g of methyl 3-aminocrotonate is added and the reflux is maintained for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is concentrated to dryness at 40° C. under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa) to give 2.4 g of a yellow solid which is purified by chromatography on 30 g of silica [eluent:dichloromethane-methanol 95/5 by volume] to give a solid which is concreted from 60 cm3 of an ether-petroleum ether mixture, filtered and then dried at 40° C. under reduced pressure (90 Pa). 0.96 g of 3″-methoxycarbonyl-2″-methylpyrido[2,3-5γ,5δ]pristinamycin IE is thus obtained in the form of a yellow solid melting at 195° C.

[0202] 15 g of 2″-methylpyrido[2,3-5γ,5δ]-pristinamycin IE, 1.25 cm3 of ethylene glycol, 16.4 cm3 of acetic acid and 3.33 g of tetra-n-butylammonium periodate are introduced into a three-necked flask containing 60 cm3 of methylene chloride. The mixture is stirred for 10 hours at room temperature and then the reaction mixture is washed with twice 50 cm3 of distilled water. The organic phase is decanted off and then concentrated to dryness at 40° C. under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa). The residue is taken up in 100 cm3 of water and 200 cm3 of 0.5 N sulphuric acid and then washed with 5 times 100 cm3 of ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase is decanted off, adjusted to pH 7-8 with 200 Cm3 of a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and then extracted with twice 150 cm3 of ethyl acetate. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulphate and then concentrated to dryness (40° C.-2.7 kPa) to give 32 g of a solid which is chromatographed on 1 kg of silica [eluent: dichloromethane/methanol gradient 99/1 to 97.5/2.5].

PREPARATION OF THE INTERMEDIATES

Example A

[1112] Method a

[1113] 170 mg of pristinamycin IB dissolved in 0.5 cm3 of dry dimethylformamide are placed in a three-necked flask maintained under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then 0.026 cm3 of 3,3-dimethylallyl bromide dissolved in 0.2 cm3 of dry dimethylformamide is added. After stirring for 3 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture is diluted with 10 cm3 of distilled water and then washed with twice 20 cm3 of ethyl acetate. The organic phase is decanted off, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and then concentrated under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa) to give a solid which is taken up in ethyl ether and then dried. The solid is purified by flash chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane-methanol 97/3) to give 57 mg of 4-N-(2-methyl-2-buten-4-yl)pristinamycin IB in the form of a pale-yellow solid melting at 170° C.

[1114] 1 H NMR spectrum (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ in ppm): 1.70 (s, 6H: CH3); 2.85 (s, 3H: ArNCH3); 2.87 (mt, 1H: 1H of CH2 at position 4β); 3.23 (s, 3H: NCH3); 3.30 (t, J=12 Hz, 1H: the other H of CH2 at position 4β); 3.82 and 3.91 (2 dd, J=16.5 and 5 Hz, 1H each: ArNCH2); 5.08 (mt, 1H: CH═); 5.18 (dd, J=12 and 4 Hz, 1H: 4α); 6.62 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H: aromatic H at position 4ε); 7.03 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H: aromatic H at position 45δ).

[1115] Method b

[1116] 660 mg of pristinamycin IB dissolved in 3.3 cm3 of dry chloroform (over amylene) are placed in a three-necked flask maintained under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then 65 mg of NaHCO3 powder are added. After stirring for one hour, 0.09 cm3 of 3,3-dimethylallyl bromide dissolved in 0.9 cm3 of dry chloroform (over amylene) is added. After stirring for 18 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture is diluted with 20 cm3 of chloroform and then washed with 3 times 5 cm3 of distilled water. The organic phase is decanted off, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and then concentrated under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa) to give a solid which is taken up in 20 cm3 of ether and then dried. This solid is purified by flash chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane-methanol 97/3) to give 360 mg of 4-N-(2-methyl-2-buten-4-yl)pristinamycin IB in the form of a pale-yellow solid melting at 170° C.

Example B

[1117] 1.7 g of pristinamycin IB in 5.1 cm3 of dry dimethylformamide are placed in a three-necked flask maintained under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then 310 mg of crotyl bromide are added. The mixture is stirred for 22 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture is diluted with 50 cm3 of distilled water, with stirring, and then extracted with twice 20 cm3 of ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase is decanted off and the organic phase is washed with twice 10 cm3 of distilled water, decanted off, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and then concentrated under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa) to give 1.1 g of a yellow oil which is purified by flash chromatography (eluent: dichloromethane-methanol 97/3) to give 0.62 g of 4-N-(2-butenyl)pristinamycin IB in the form of a white solid melting at 180° C.

[1118] 1 H NMR spectrum (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ in ppm): 1.70 (d, J=6 Hz, 3H: CH3); from 2.85 to 2.90 (mt, 1H: 1H of CH2 at position 4β); 2.90 (s, 3H: ArNCH3); 3.28 (s, 3H: NCH3); 3.32 (t, J=12 Hz, 1H: the other H of CH2 at position 4β); 3.81 and 3.91 (2 broad d, J=18 Hz, 1H each: ArNCH2); 5.22 (dd, J=12 and 4 Hz, 1H: 4α); 5.43 and 5.57 (d mt and dq respectively, J=14 Hz and J=14 and 6 Hz, 1H each: CH═CH); 6.62 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H: aromatic H at position 4ε); 7.05 (d, J=8 Hz, 2H: aromatic H at position 4δ).

Example C

The organic phase of 50 cm3 thus concentrated is added, in a three-necked flask, with stirring, to 35 cm3 of distilled water, 1.3 cm3 of acetic acid and 0.16 g of sodium acetate trihydrate. The mixture is heated for 3 hours at 40-45° C. and then after cooling, a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution is added to a pH of 5-6. The aqueous phase is decanted off, extracted with 20 cm3 of ethyl acetate and then the organic phases are combined and washed with 30 cm3 of bicarbonated distilled water. The aqueous phase is decanted off and then extracted with 20 cm3 of ethyl acetate. All the organic phases are pooled, washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give 1.03 g of a solid which is purified by two successive flash chromatographies (eluent: methylene chloride-methanol 96/4) to give 0.21 g of a product which is concreted from 5 cm3 of diethyl ether. After filtration and drying at 50° C. under reduced pressure (90 Pa), 169 mg of 5δ-methylenepristinamycin IB are obtained in the form of an off-white solid melting at 210° C. (not very sharp).
