Substituted-pyridinyl cephalosporin antibiotics active against methicillin resistant bacteria

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to cephalosporin antibiotics. More particularly, the present invention includes novel (7R)-7-(acylamino)-3-(arylthio)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids and their pharmacologically acceptable salts and prodrugs, their methods of production and use. These compounds exhibit antibiotic activity against a wide spectrum of organisms, including organisms which are resistant to .beta.-lactam antibiotics.
2. Review of the Background Art
Over the past three decades a large variety of antibiotics has become available for clinical use. One class of antibiotics which has seen remarkable growth are the cephalosporins (shown generically below), over 70 of which have entered clinical use for the treatment of bacterial infections in mammals since 1965. The cephalosporins exhibit their antibacterial activity by inhibiting bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis, and have been extremely effective in treating a wide variety of bacterial infections. Cephalosporins that are said to have antibacterial activity are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,992,377 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,256,739. ##STR1##
Unfortunately, the wide-spread and indiscriminant use of these antibiotics has led to a rapid increase in the number of bacterial strains which are resistant to these compounds. Most importantly, this resistance has emerged among clinically important microorganisms which threaten to limit the utility of presently available cephalosporin antibiotics. In particular, resistant strains of Salmonella, S. pneumoni.ae butted., Enterobacteriace.ae butted., and Pseudomonas have emerged which threaten to undo many of the strides made in reducing mortality and morbidity from bacterial infections.
Bacterial resistance to cephalosporins follows three major pathways: a) the development of .beta.-lactamases capable of inactivating the .beta.-lactam ring of the cephalosporin; b) decreased cephalosporin penetration into the bacteria due to changes in bacterial cell wall composition; and c) poor binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). The latter pathway is especially important, as the binding of .beta.-lactams to PBPs is essential for inhibiting bacterial cell-wall biosynthesis. Certain Gram-positive bacteria, namely methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ("MRSA") and enterococci are highly resistant to .beta.-lactam antibiotics. Resistance in MRSA is due to the presence of high levels of an unusual PBP, PBP2a, which is insensitive, or binds poorly, to .beta.-lactam antibiotics. The activity of .beta.-lactam antibiotics against PBP2a-containing organisms has been shown to correlate well with the binding affinity of the antibiotic to PBP2a. Currently, the glycopeptides vancomycin and teicoplanin are primarily used for MRSA bacteremia. The quinolone antibacterials and some carbapenems, such as imipenem, have been reported to be active against a few MRSA strains, but their use is restricted due to emerging resistant MRSA strains.
Experimental compounds which may possess utility as anti-MRSA or anti-enterococcal bactericides include the glycylcyclines (see, e.g., P.-E. Sum et al., J. Med. Chem., 37, (1994)), FK-037 (see, e.g., H. Ohki et al., J. Antibiotics, 46:359-361 (1993)), RP-59,500 (see, e.g., S. K. Spangler et al., Antimicro. Agents Chemother., 36:856-9 (1992)), the everninomycin complex (see, e.g., W. E. Sanders et al., Antimicro. Agents Chemother., 6: 232-8 (1974)), the 2-(biaryl)carbapenems (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,025,006), 3-(benzothiazolylthio)cephems (see, e.g., EP Application No. 527686), 3-(thiazolylthio)carbacephems (see, e.g., R. J. Ternansky et al., J. Med. Chem., 36:1971 (1993) and U.S. Pat. No. 5,077,287) and arbekacin (S. Kondo, et al. J. Antibiotics 46:531 (1993).

D. Synthesis of Compounds of Structure II
The compounds of the present invention may be readily prepared in accordance with the following schemes. However, it will be appreciated that other synthetic pathways for forming the compounds of the invention are available and that the following is offered merely by way of example, and not limitation. It will be further recognized that various protecting and deprotecting strategies will be employed which are standard in the art (see. e.g., Green and Wuts). Those of skill in the art will recognize that the selection of any particular protecting group (e.g., a carboxy protecting group) will depend on the stability of the protected moiety with respect to subsequent reaction conditions.
Generally, the synthesis of the cephalosporins of the present invention may be achieved using well-known methods and readily available materials (see, e.g., March; Larock, COMPREHENSIVE ORGANIC TRANSFORMATIONS (VCH Publishers, 1989); and G. I. Georg, THE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY OF .beta.-LACTAMS, (VCH 1992), each of which is incorporated herein by reference). As shown below in Scheme 1, treatment of the cephem triflate 1 with the desired thiolate nucleophile --S(CH.sub.2).sub.n Y, using standard methods such as those described in Farina et al., J. Org. Chem, 54:4962 (1989) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,870,168 to Baker, et al., (both of which are incorporated herein by reference), provides the 3-thio derivative 2. Subsequent deprotection using procedures known to those skilled in the art affords the biologically active 4-carboxycephem 3. ##STR19##
Compound 1 is formed readily from commercially available starting materials, such as the reaction of (7R)-7-�(phenylacetyl)amino!-3-hydroxy-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (Otsuka Chemical Co., Ltd., Otsuka, Japan) with triflic anhydride (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.), using known procedures (see, e.g., Farina; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,870,168 to Baker, et al.) Other 3-hydroxy-3-cephems may be formed from the ozonolysis of 3-exomethylene cephems using known procedures (see, e.g., Farina).
Similarly, the thiolate nucleophile carrying the desired substituent Y and the spacer --(CH.sub.2).sub.n -- may be formed using known procedures and commercially available starting materials. For example, for the case Y=substituted aromatic and n=0, the desired thiolate nucleophile may be formed using well known techniques for performing nucleophilic or electrophilic aromatic substitutions with commercially available aromatic thiols (e.g., thiophenol, available from Aldrich) or with aromatic thiols formed using known techniques (see March). For the case n.noteq.0, the 3-thio-3-cephem derivative of the .beta.-lactam may be reacted with the group LG--CH.sub.2 Y, where LG is an appropriate leaving group, such as halogen, e.g., iodo (see, e.g., J. Antibiot. pp. 498-506 (May 1991, which is incorporated herein by reference).
The substituent R.sup.1 may be any of the groups described above and are either available commercially (e.g., from Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.) or can be formed using known techniques and starting materials (see, e.a., March; Larock). These groups can be substituted for those present on the starting material by variety of well known techniques (see, e.g., Barrett, J. C. S. Perkin I, 1629 (1979) or Chauvette, J. Org. Chem. 36:1259 (1971), both of which are incorporated herein by reference), such as by transamination of an existing substituent for the desired substituent, or hydrolytic removal of the existing substituent followed by reaction with a suitably reactive form of desired substituent, such as an acyl chloride. Again, the appropriate reagents and techniques will be apparent to those of skill in the art.
The carboxyl group R.sup.2 may be those protecting groups amenable to reductive cleavage, such as benzyl, p- or o-nitrobenzyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, allyl, cinnamyl, benzhydryl, 2-chloroallyl and the like. Alternatively, R.sup.2 may be a protecting group amenable to acidic cleavage, such as t-butyl, t-amyl, trityl, 4-methoxytrityl, 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl, trimethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, phenacyl, .beta.-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl, benzyl, 4-(or 2-methoxybenzyl, 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl, 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzyl, methoxymethyl, benzhydryl, or 3,3-dimethylallyl. Preferred protecting groups are p-methoxybenzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, allyl and benzhydryl. Such groups may be attached to the unprotected carboxyl group of the cephalosporin starting material using known reagents and techniques, such as those described in Green and Wuts.
An alternative synthetic route to the desired cephem 3 is described below, wherein a suitably amine-protected cephem 4 (P denotes the protecting group) is further reacted to provide non-protected intermediate 5 which is then reacted with the appropriate acylation reagent(s) and deprotected to provide the desired product 3. Another alternative route is also shown wherein the carboxyl deprotection is performed first to form intermediate 6, followed by the removal of the protecting group and the addition of the desired acyl derivative. ##STR20##
Preferred amine protecting groups include trityl, formyl, phenoxyacetyl, trichloroacetyl, chloroacetyl, bromoacetyl, iodoacetyl, urethane-type protecting groups �such as t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, 4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, 2-chloroallylcarbonyl, allyoxycarbonyl, 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, (C.sub.4 -C.sub.6)-cycloalkanyloxycarbonyl or 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC)!. Especially preferred protecting groups are trityl, allyoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, phenoxyacetyl, and t-butoxycarbonyl. These may be attached and removed using standard techniques (see Green and Wuts). The selection of the amine-protecting group to be employed will depend on the stability of the protected .beta.-lactam to the subsequent reaction conditions.
For the cases wherein Y is biphenyl or substituted biphenyls, the biphenyl moiety may also be introduced by the carbon-carbon coupling of a 3-(halophenylthio)cephem (or 3-(trifluorosulfonyloxyphenylthio)cephem) 8 with an appropriately substituted phenyltrialkylstannane in the presence of a palladium catalyst and triaryl(or triheterocyclic)phosphine such as tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(O)-tris(2-furyl)phosphine to form the desired substituted (biphenylthio)cephem 9 as shown below. ##STR21##
E. Synthesis of Compounds of Structure III
The compounds of general structure III are prepared similarly to those of general structure II. In many cases, a key step is the coupling of a hydroxymethyl-substituted benzenethiolate with cephem triflate 1. This affords a key intermediate, which upon conversion of the hydroxyl group to an appropriate leaving group, allows conversion to the desired group R.sup.12 by reaction with an appropriate nucleophile.
F. Synthesis of Compounds of Structures IV and V
The compounds of general structure IV and V are prepared similarly to those of general structure II, by coupling a heteroaromatic thiolate with cephem triflate 1. The requisite heteroaromatic thiols are prepared by a variety of methods known in the literature, as described in the Examples.
III. Pharmaceutical Applications and Preparations
According to this invention, a therapeutically or pharmaceutically effective amount of a cephalosporin and particularly, a compound of Structure II, is administered to a mammal suffering from an .beta.-lactam resistant bacterial infection, especially resistant S. aureus, in an amount effective to at least partially relieve the infection. Especially important are infections resulting from .beta.-lactam resistant strains having similar .beta.-lactam resistant activity to strains such as S. aureus ATCC 29213, S. aureus ATCC 25913, S. aureus ATCC 31432, S. aureus col (Meth.sup.R)(lac.sup.-), S. aureus 76 (Meth.sup.R) (lac.sup.+), S. aureus ColBA (Meth.sup.S)(lac.sup.-), E. f.ae butted.cium ATCC 35667, or E. f.ae butted.calis ATCC 29212.
The compositions containing the compound(s) of the invention can be administered for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatments. In therapeutic applications, the compositions are administered to a patient already suffering from an infection, as described above, in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the infection. An amount adequate to accomplish this is defined as "therapeutically effective amount or dose." Amounts effective for this use will depend on the severity and course of the infection, previous therapy, the patient's health status and response to the drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician. In prophylactic applications, compositions containing the compounds of the invention are administered to a patient susceptible to or otherwise at risk of a particular infection. Such an amount is defined to be a "prophylactically effective amount or dose." In this use, the precise amounts again depend on the patient's state of health, weight, and the like.
Once improvement of the patient's conditions has occurred, a maintenance dose is administered if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, can be reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved condition is retained. When the symptoms have been alleviated to the desired level, treatment can cease. Patients can, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of the disease symptoms.
In general, a suitable effective dose of the compound of the invention will be in the range of 0.1 to 1000 milligram (mg) per recipient per day, preferably in the range of 1 to 100 mg per day. The desired dosage is preferably presented in one, two, three, four or more subdoses administered at appropriate intervals throughout the day. These subdoses can be administered as unit dosage forms, for example, containing 5 to 1000 mg, preferably 10 to 100 mg of active ingredient per unit dosage form. Preferably, the compounds of the invention will be administered in amounts of between about 2.0 mg/kg to 250 mg/kg of patient body weight, between about one to four times per day.
While it is possible to administer the active ingredient of this invention alone, it is preferable to present it as part of a pharmaceutical formulation. The formulations of the present invention comprise at least one compound or inhibitor of this invention in a therapeutically or pharmaceutically effective dose together with one or more pharmaceutically or therapeutically acceptable carriers. Solid carriers inlcude, e.g., starch, lactose, dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, sucrose, and kaolin, and optionally other therapeutic ingredients. Liquid carriers include, e.g., sterile water, polyethylene glycols, non-ionic surfactants, and edible oils such as corn, peanut and sesame oils. In addition, various adjuvants such as are commonly used in the art may be included. For example: flavoring agents, coloring agents, preservatives, and antioxidants, e.g., vitamin E, ascorbic acid, BHT and BHA. Various other considerations are described, e.g., in Gilman et al. (eds) (1990) Goodman and Gilman's: The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th Ed., Pergamon Press; and Remington's supra. Methods for administration are discussed therein, e.g., for oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal, or intramuscular administration, and others. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers will include water, saline, buffers, and other compounds described, e.g., in the MERCK INDEX, Merck & Co., Rahway, N.J. Generally, preferred routes of administration are intravenous and intraperitoneal.
These pharmacological agents can be in a variety of forms. These include, for example, solid, semi-solid and liquid dosage forms, such as tablets, pills, powders, liquid solutions or suspensions, liposomes, injectable and infusible solutions. The preferred form depends on the intended mode of administration and therapeutic application. Generally, a pharmacologically acceptable salt of the compound will be used to simplify preparation of the composition. Preferred salts include sodium, potassium, arginine, glycine, alanine, threonine. These are prepared, preferably, in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose.
Depending on the specific conditions being treated, such agents may be formulated and administered systemically or locally. Techniques for formulation and administration may be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. (1990). Suitable routes may include oral, rectal, transdermal, vaginal, transmucosal, or intestinal administration; parenteral delivery, including intramuscular subcutaneous, intramedullary injections, as well an intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intranasal, or intraocular injections, just to name a few.
For injection, the agents of the invention may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks' solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For such transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art.
In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added.
IV. Biological Activity
In Vitro Antibacterial Evaluation
The compounds of the invention were evaluated against several .beta.-lactam resistant bacteria strains by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC, .mu.g/ml) of each compound with respect to each strain. The MIC, the lowest concentration of antibiotic which inhibits growth of the test organism, was determined by the agar dilution method.
To determine the MIC for bacterial isolates, the test compound was incorporated in a series of two-fold dilutions into liquified Mueller-Hinton agar. Upon solidification, a number of different bacterial strains were spot inoculated with a replicating device onto the agar surface. After overnight incubation, the MIC breakpoint was determined as the lowest drug concentration that completely inhibited growth, disregarding a single colony or a faint haze. The procedures used in these stuides have been standardized by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS), as per the NCCLS publication entitled METHODS FOR DILUTION ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTS (1991), which is incorporated herein by reference.
Aliquots of antimicrobial agents were prepared in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.2. Tween 20 or DMSO was used as a solubilizing vehicle as needed. Standard methods of vortexing, sonicating and gentle heat were used to facilitate solubilizing the test agent. Typically, the concentration of the stock solution was 10.times. that of the highest drug concentration tested. A 1.28 mg/mL stock solution was used with a subsequent highest working concentration of 128 .mu.g/mL. Serial two-fold dilutions were done through .ltoreq.0.25 .mu.g/mL. Each drug level was tested in duplicate. Two-fold drug dilutions were done in sterile 50 mL tubes with a final drug volume of 5 mL. Upon the addition of 45 mL of molten agar, a 10-fold dilution resulted. Two, 25 mL. plates were then poured into 15.times.150 mm square Petri plates with grids and allowed to harden.
A control plate with a reference drug, either cefotaxime, vancomycin or imipenem, was used as the positive growth control. Stock concentrations of reference antibiotics were prepared and frozen at -80.degree. C. Upon preparation, the control plates were sealed and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week prior to use; however, imipenem control plates had to be prepared just prior to use. All test plates were used within 24 hours of preparation.
Satisfactory results were obtained where the inoculum contained about 10.sup.4 colony forming units (cfu) .+-.0.5 logs. Starting with pure cultures of the test isolates on agar plates, a few isolated colonies were transferred to a tube of nutrient broth and allowed to grow 4-6 hours at 35.degree.-36.degree. C. to reach log-phase growth. Dropwise addition of the broth culture to PBS was done to match a 0.5 McFarland turbidity standard equal to 10.sup.8 cfu/mL. This was further diluted ten-fold in PBS to reach a working inoculum concentration of 10.sup.7 cfu/mL. When 1 .mu.L of the working inoculum was applied to the agar surface a concentration of about 10.sup.4 cfu per spot was obtained.
Disposable sterile 1 .mu.L loops were used to inoculate test plates, with each isolate in a designated grid on the agar plate. An alternate method of inoculation involved the use of a replica plater, a device with 48 steel pins allowing the simultaneous inoculation of multiple isolates. After the spots had dried, the plates were incubated at 35.degree.-36.degree. C. for 16-20 hours. Endpoints were assessed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antimicrobial agent.
These results are shown in Table I below. The novel agents of this invention are notable for their enhanced activity against S. aureus Col and Enterococci (E. faecium and E. faecalis). The S. aureus Col strain is a high-level PBP2a producer, whereas S. aureus Col 8A, its isogenic partner, lacks PBP2a. Certain compounds, such as 6 ((7R)-7-�(Phenylacetyl)amino!-3-(o-iodophenylthio)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid) and 9 ((7R)-7-�(Phenylacetyl)amino!-3-(2-biphenylthio)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid), show broad activity against both S. aureus Col and S. aureus Col 8A, as well as Enterococci. The S. aureus Col 8A strain was highly responsive to all test agents including the Cefotaxime control. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are effective against PBP2a-producing bacteria. Compound 12, while lacking activity against S. aureus Col, shows potent activity against enterococci. Certain other compounds of the present invention, such as 22 ((7R)-7-�(Z)-2-(aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(hydroxyimino)acetamido!-3-(o-iodophenylthio)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid), are effective against E. coli in addition to Gram-positive organisms.

In Vivo Antibacterial Evaluation
Compounds with superior activity in vitro when compared to reference antibiotics, are further evaluated in a murine model for lethal bacteremic peritonitis.
Groups of 5 female Swiss-Webster mice (Simonsen, Gilroy, Calif.) each are challenged by the intraperitoneal (IP) route with tenfold increments of a bacterial inoculum. This permits calculation of the mean lethal dose (LD.sub.50) and the LD.sub.100. For preliminary evaluation of a new antibiotic, mice are challenged IP with an LD.sub.100 titer of bacteria. In two equal doses administered at the time of bacterial challenge and 2 hours later, groups of 10 mice each are treated subcutaneously with two-fold increments of the test drug and an antibiotic of known efficacy in mice and humans (i.e., positive control). Mice are observed for 72 h. Those alive at 72 h are considered long term survivors. The total drug dose in mg/kg that protects 50% of mice in a group from death is termed the mean protective dose (PD.sub.50). PD.sub.50 s are similarly determined for several pathogens. The quantitative endpoints for the new drug are then compared with those obtained with reference antibiotics.
Six ten-fold dilutions of inoculum suspended in 0.5 mL of sterilized 7% hog gastric mucin (Sigma) are injected IP in groups of 5 mice each. A control group of 5 mice receive mucin alone. Mice are observed for 72 h. Those alive at 72 h are considered long term survivors. The mean lethal dose (LD.sub.50) and 100% lethal dose (LD.sub.100) are determined by the probit test.
For antibiotic efficacy studies, mice are challenged IP with bacterial titers that will afford an LD.sub.100 for the test strain. In two equal doses administered at the time of bacterial challenge and 2 hours later, groups of 10 mice each are treated by the subcutaneous route (SC) with twofold increments of the test antibiotic; another group is treated similarly with a reference antibiotic of known efficacy in animals and man. Drug doses can range from 0.01 to 512 mg/kg. If the drug is poorly soluble, Tween 20 or propylene glycol will be employed to solubilize the drug. Animals are observed for 72 h. The 50% protective dose (PD.sub.50) is calculated in mg/kg by the probit method. The PD.sub.50 is the same as the 50% effective dose (ED.sub.50) and the 50% curative dose (CD.sub.50). Samples of blood from the hearts of all animals that die and from half the mice that survive are cultured on brain-heart infusion agar. Animals that received a protective dosage of the test drug will be alive at 72 h, although they may appear moderately ill to very ill during the observation period. Infected, placebo-treated control mice and those receiving non-effective i.e. lower dosages of the test drug will demonstrate a high rate of mortality. Most of these mice will die within 6 to 48 h. Those alive at 72 h will be considered long term survivors.
