Description

This invention relates to novel 7.alpha.-methoxy-cephalosporins and method for producing the same.
7.alpha.-Methoxy-cephalosporins hitherto disclosed have an antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. However, they are known to have no effective antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa which causes clinically serious infectious diseases.
The present inventors conducted intensive studies with the aim of obtaining a compound which has so broad an antibacterial spectrum as to show an effective activity even against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and is resistant to the action of cephalosporinase. As the result, there have been discovered novel 7.alpha.-methoxy-cephalosporins fully satisfying the above-mentioned requirements.
It is an object of this invention to provide novel 7.alpha.-methoxy-cephalosporins which have a broad antibacterial spectrum against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, are resistant to the action of cephalosporinase and, at the same time, are effective to human and animal diseases.

This invention covers all the optical isomers and racemic compounds as well as all crystalline forms and hydrates of the compound of the general formula [I].
The embodiments of each of the production processes of the invention are described below.
In practising Process (1) or (2), a compound represented by formula [II] or [IV] is dissolved or suspended in a solvent inert to the reaction such as water, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, 2-methoxyethanol, diethyl ether, isopropyl ether, benzene, toluene, methylene chloride, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone or the like alone or in admixture of two or more, and then reacted with a reactive derivative in the carboxyl group of the compound of formula [III] or with a compound of formula [V] or with a reactive derivative in the carboxyl group of the compound of formula [V] in the presence or absence of a base. In case a compound of formula [V] is used in the form of free acid or its salt as a reactant, the reaction is carried out usually in the presence of a dehydrating condensing agent. In this case, the reaction temperature is usually in the range of -40.degree. C. to +50.degree. C., preferably -20.degree. C. to +20.degree. C., and the reaction time usually ranges from 10 minutes to 10 hours. However, the conditions for the reaction are not restricted to those specified above and may be varied appropriately depending upon the kind of reactant. The bases usable in this reaction include inorganic bases such as alkali hydroxides, alkali hydrogen carbonates, alkali carbonates and alkali acetates; and organic nitrogen-containing bases such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, pyridine, N-methylpiperidine, N-methylmorpholine, lutidine, collidine, dimethylbenzylamine, dimethylaniline, diethylamine, dicyclohexylamine and the like.
Examples of said dehydrating condensing agent include N,N'-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide, N-cyclohexyl-N'-morpholinoethyl carbodiimide, N,N'-carbonyl di-(2-methylimidazole), dimethylchloroformiminium chloride, dimethylethoxyformiminium chloride, trialkyl phosphite, phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus trichloride, thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride and the like.
In practising Process (3), a compound represented by formula [VI] is reacted with an iminohalogenating agent in the first step (iminohalogenation reaction). The iminohalogenating agents most frequently used are, for example, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus tribromide, phosphorus pentabromide, phosphorus oxychloride, thionyl chloride, phosgene and the like. The reaction is usually carried out in a solvent. As the solvent there are most frequently used methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, dichloroethane, trichloroethane, tetrachlorethane and the like, though other solvents inert to the reaction such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethoxyethane may also be used. Although the temperature for the iminohalogenation reaction is not particularly limited, it is usually preferable to carry out the reaction under cooling. In the next step, the reaction product thus obtained is reacted with an iminoetherifying agent (iminoetherification reaction). The iminoetherifying agents usable in this step are, for example, alcohols such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, tert.-butyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, methoxymethyl alcohol and the like; and alkali metal alkoxides thereof. Although the temperature for the iminoetherification reaction is not particularly limited, it is usual to carry out the reaction under cooling or at an elevated temperature.
In the next step, the reaction product thus obtained is reacted with a reactive derivative in the carboxyl group of the compound of formula [III] (acylation reaction). Although temperature of the acylation reaction is not particularly limited, it is usual to carry out the reaction under cooling or heating. In carrying out this step of the reaction, the liquid reaction mixture obtained in the preceding step may be used directly or after being concentrated under reduced pressure to distill off the excessive iminohalogenating agent and iminoetherifying agent. In the acylation reaction, there may be used as a solvent at least one member selected from water, acetone, dimethylformamide and the solvents used in the above-mentioned iminohalogenation and iminoetherification.
The above-mentioned iminohalogenation, iminoetherification and acylation may be carried out in the presence of an organic base such as dimethylaniline, pyridine, quinoline, picoline, lutidine, trialkylamine, dialkylbenzylamine or the like, according to a conventional method. The acylation product thus obtained is then hydrolyzed. The hydrolysis reaction proceeds sufficiently by pouring into water the liquid reaction mixture as obtained in the preceding step containing the reaction product. However, the mode of hydrolysis is not limited to the above but the conditions of hydrolysis may be varied appropriately depending upon the kind of reactant.
In practising Process (4), a compound represented by formula [VII] is reacted with a compound represented by formula [VIII] in a solvent inert to the reaction or a mixture of two or more of the solvents when R.sup.9 in formula [VII] is other than the heterocyclic aromatic amine-N-oxide-thio group in which the thio group is attached to the carbon atom adjacent to the N-oxide group in the molecule. The solvent inert to the reaction includes, for example, water, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, 2-methoxyethanol, dimethoxyethane, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, dichlorethane, chloroform, dichloromethane and the like.
Preferably, the reaction is carried out in a solvent of high polarity such as water. It is advantageous to keep the pH value of the reaction solution in the range of 2 to 10, particularly 4 to 8. The pH of the solution may be adjusted to the desired value by adding a buffer such as sodium phosphate. Though the reaction conditions are not particularly limited, the reaction is usually carried out at a temperature of 0.degree. to 100.degree. C. over a period of several hours to several tens of hours.
When R.sup.9 in formula [VII] is a heterocyclic aromatic amine-N-oxide-thio group in which the thio group is attached to the carbon atom adjacent to the N-oxide group in the molecule, a compound represented by formula [VII] is reacted with a compound represented by formula [VIII] in the aforesaid inert solvent in the presence of a cupric compound. This reaction is particularly useful when the compound represented by formula [VIII] is an alcohol such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, ethylene glycol or the like. In this case, the alcohol may be used in an excess to allow it to function as a solvent, too, whereby the reaction proceeds smoothly. The cupric compound used in this reaction include inorganic and organic cupric compounds such as cupric chloride, cupric bromide, cupric fluoride, cupric nitrate, cupric sulfate, cupric borate, cupric phosphate, cupric cyanide, cupric formate, cupric acetae, cupric propionate, cupric citrate, cupric tartrate, cupric benzoate, cupric salicylate and the like. Preferably said cupric compound is used in an amount of 1/2 mole or more per mole of the compound represented by the formula [VII].
Although the reaction temperature and reaction time may be varied depending upon the kinds of the compound of formula [VII], the cupric compound and the compound of formula [VIII], the reaction is generally effected at a temperature ranging from 0.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. for a period of time ranging from several minutes to several days.
However, the reaction conditions are not particularly limited to those specified above, and may appropriately be varied depending upon the kind of reactants.
In practising Process (5) of this invention, a compound represented by the general formula [IX] is subjected to conventional elimination reaction to eliminate the blocking group R.sup.8. Concrete means for the elimination include catalytic reduction, chemical reduction, and other treatments under mild conditions such as hydrolysis, alcoholysis and the like. As is obvious from the description given above, the method for eliminating the blocking group may be varied depending upon the kind of blocking group. When R.sup.8 is a benzhydryl group, a compound represented by the general formula [IX] is dissolved in anisole and reacted with trifluoroacetic acid to eliminate the benzhydryl group, which is a conventional method. When R.sup.8 is a .beta.,.beta.,.beta.-trichloroethyl group, a compound represented by the general formula [IX] is dissolved in a solvent such as dimethylformamide or the like and then reduced with powdered zinc to eliminate the .beta.,.beta.,.beta.-trichlorethyl group. When R.sup.8 is an organic silyl, organic phosphorus-containing or organic tin-containing group, it is usual that a mere treatment with water or an alcohol is enough to eliminate the blocking group with ease. In eliminating the blocking group by the above-mentioned methods, the reaction temperature and reaction time may be varied freely so as to obtain optimum conditions.
In practicing Process (6), a compound represented by the general formula [X] is dissolved or suspended in a solvent inert to the reaction such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, methylene chloride, chloroform, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, acetonitrile, methanol or the like alone or in admixture of two or more, and then reacted with the compound of the general formula [XI] in methanol. In this reaction, the methanol is used in an amount of one equivalent or more, and the amount of the compound [XI] is preferably 2 to 6 equivalents per equivalent of the compound [X].
To the resulting reaction solution is added a halogenating agent, and the resulting mixture is subjected to reaction. The halogenating agent is used in an amount enough to supply a positive halogen in an amount equivalent to the compound [X], and preferably used in an amount of 1 to 2 equivalents. When the halogenating agent is used in excess, the replacement of the hydrogen atoms on the phenyl nucleus of ##STR18## by the halogen atoms takes place simultaneously with said reaction.
All the reactions in Process (6) are generally effected at a temperature of -120.degree. to -10.degree. C., preferably -100.degree. to -50.degree. C., for a period of 5 to 30 minutes. The reaction is terminated by making the reaction system acidic.
The halogenating agent which may be used in Process (6) is one which is conventionally known as a positive-halogen-supplier, for example, any halide which can supply a positive halogen such as Cl.sup.+, Br.sup.+, I.sup.+ or the like. Concrete examples thereof are halogens, such as chlorine, bromine or the like; N-haloimides, such as N-chlorosuccinimide, N-bromosuccinimide and the like; N-haloamides, such as N-bromoacetamide, N-chloroacetamide and the like; N-halosulfonamides, such as N-chlorobenzenesulfonamide, N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide and the like; 1-halobenztriazoles; 1-halotriazines; organic hypohalogenites such as tert.-butyl hypochlorite, tert.-butyl hypoiodite, and the like; halohydantoins such as N,N-dibromohydantoin and the like. Among them, tert.-butyl hypochlorite is preferred.
A suitable acid which may be used for terminating the reaction is such that when the acid is added under cooling there is caused neither solidification of the reaction mixture nor the freezing of the reaction mixture into a heavy, viscouse mixture, and there may be used, for example, 98% formic acid, glacial acetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, methane sulfonic acid and the like.
After the termination of the reaction, the excessive halogenating agent is removed by treating the reaction product with a reducing agent, such as sodium thiosulfate or the like, or a trialkyl ester of phosphoruous acid, such as trimethyl phosphite, triethyl phosphite, tributyl phosphite or the like.
The reaction conditions are not particularly limited to those specified above, and may appropriately be varied depending upon the kind of reactants.
The 7.alpha.-methoxy-cephalosporins of the general formula [I] produced according to one of the above-mentioned processes can be isolated and collected by a conventional method. The compounds of the general formula [I] in which R.sup.1 represents a non-toxic salt-forming cation can also be obtained by a conventional method from those compounds of the general formula [I] in which R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a blocking group.

Referring to Examples, this invention will be further explained in detail below. The Examples are by way of illustration and not by way of limitation.
EXAMPLE 1
(1) In 15 ml of anhydrous methylene chloride was suspended 0.62 g of D(-)-.alpha.-(4-ethyl-2,3-dioxo-1-piperazinylcarbonylamino)phenylacetic acid, and 0.2 g of N-methylmorpholine was then added thereto to form a solution. The resulting solution was cooled to -20.degree. C., to which 5 ml of a solution of 0.21 g of ethyl chlorocarbonate in anhydrous methylene chloride was then added, and the resulting mixture was reacted for 60 minutes at a temperature of -10.degree. C. to 0.degree. C. A solution of 0.94 g of benzhydryl 7.beta.-amino-3-acetoxymethyl-7.alpha.-methoxy-.DELTA..sup.3 -cephem-4-carboxylate in 5 ml of anhydrous methylene chloride was then dropped into the mixture. The resulting mixture was reacted at a temperature of -20.degree. to 0.degree. C. for 30 minutes, then at a temperature of 0.degree. to 10.degree. C. for 60 minutes and further at room temperature for 60 minutes, after which the reaction liquid was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of 25 ml of water and 25 ml of ethyl acetate and the pH value thereof was adjusted to 1.5 by adding 2 N hydrochloric acid with ice-cooling. The ethyl acetate layer was separated off, washed successively with 5% aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate and saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, after which the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by means of column chromatography on silica gel, where the eluant was a 1:1 (by volume) mixture of ethyl acetate and benzene. Thus, there was obtained, in a crystalline form, 0.94 g (yield 61.1%) of benzhydryl 7.beta.-[D(-)-.alpha.-(4-ethyl-2,3-dioxo-1-piperazinylcarbonylamino)phenylacetamido]-7.alpha.-methoxy-3-acetoxymethyl-.DELTA..sup.3 -cephem-4-carboxylate melting at 106.degree. to 109.degree.

The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes, after which the excessive trifluoroacetic acid and anisole were distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in a mixture composed of 25 ml of ethyl acetate and 25 ml of water and the pH value thereof was adjusted to 7.0 with sodium hydrogen carbonate. The aqueous layer was separated, 25 ml of fresh ethyl acetate was added thereto, and the pH value of the mixture was adjusted to 1.5 by adding 2 N hydrochloric acid with cooling. The ethyl acetate layer was separated, thoroughly washed with water, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, after which the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. Thus, there was obtained, in a crystalline form, 0.52 g (yield 86.2%) of 7.beta.-[D-(-)-.alpha.-(4-ethyl-2,3-dioxo-1-piperazinylcarbonlamino)-phenylacetamido]-7.alpha.-methoxy-3-acetoxymethyl-.DELTA..sup.3 -cephem-4-carboxylic acid melting at 135.degree. to 140.degree.
