Substituted vinyl cephalosporins

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a selection of cephalosporin compounds having the 3-((Z)-1-propenyl) and 7-phenylglycylamido groups, the latter may be substituted, (Class 544, Subclass 16) and to methods of treating bacterial infections employing these compounds (Class 424, Subclass 246).
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
The 3-formylceph-3-em compounds used as intermediates in one method of preparation of the 3-substituted vinyl cephalosporins of the present invention may be prepared by oxidation of the corresponding 3-hydroxymethylceph-3-ems obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of the corresponding cephalosporins. This process is represented in the prior art by Chamberlin, U.S. Pat. No. 3,351,596 (Nov. 7, 1967) who disclosed inter alia Compounds II, and III. ##STR1## Chamberlin (loc. cit.) disclosed derivatives at the 3--CHO group with carbonyl reagents such as semicarbazide and hydroxylamine, but there was no disclosure of any carbon alkylation of the 3--CHO.
The corresponding sulfoxides are more stable and can be prepared in better yield (Webber, U.K. patent specification No. 1,341,712, published December 23, 1973).
The first disclosure of 3-alkenyl substituted cephalosporins was by Clark et al. in U.K. patent specification No. 1,342,241, published Jan. 3, 1974 (corresponding U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,769,277, and 3,994,884, granted Oct. 30, 1973, and Nov. 30, 1976). The Compounds IV and V are disclosed on pp. 25 and 29 of the U.K. Specification. ##STR2## These compounds were prepared by reacting the corresponding 3-triphenylphosphoniummethyl cephalosporin with formaldehyde or acetaldehyde. The inverse process of reacting a phosphoranylidine derivative of the formula R.sub.3 P.dbd.CR.sup.3 R.sup.4 with a 3--CHO cephalosporin is also disclosed in the specification on page 5. Compound IV is stated to be absorbed when given by the oral route in U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,431.
Another early disclosure of compounds of this type was by Webber et al. J. Med. Chem. 18(10) 986-992, (1975), and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,065,620 patented Dec. 27, 1977 which discloses at columns 3, 4, and 5 the genus to which the present compounds belong. Specific compounds disclosed are represented by Formula VI. ##STR3##
Other variations of this type are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,094,978 (June 13, 1978), and 4,112,087 (Sept. 5, 1978) where Compounds VII and VIII are disclosed. ##STR4##

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides compounds of Formulas XIII, and XIV ##STR6##
In these formulas:
n is the integer 0, or 1,
R.sup.1 is hydrogen, OP.sup.3, lower alkoxy, or halogen including chlorine, bromine, fluorine, and iodine,
P.sup.1, P.sup.2, and P.sup.3 are hydrogen atoms or conventional protecting groups used in cephalosporin chemistry respectively with amino, carboxy, and hydroxy groups,
R.sup.2 is hydrogen, OP.sup.3, or lower alkoxy
Alk is an alkylidene or alkylene group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and
X is chlorine, bromine, or iodine.
Those compounds wherein n is 1, and P.sup.1, P.sup.2, and P.sup.3 are conventional protecting groups, are intermediates for making the biologically active end products of the present invention which are represented by Formula XIII when n is 0, and P.sup.1, P.sup.2, and P.sup.3 are hydrogen. These products are of interest as orally effective cephalosporin antibiotics having strong activity against Gram-positive bacteria and an improved spectrum of activity against Gram-negative bacteria, various fastidious bacteria, and anaerobes relative to cephalexin, cefadroxil, cefaclor, and cephradine. They provide prolonged antibiotic concentrations in the blood stream following oral administration and are suitable for administration to humans on a once or twice a day basis. As such they are administered in doses ranging from 100 mg. to 5,000 mg. per day depending upon the size of the patient and the disease condition. They may be administered parenterally in similar dosage amounts.
The products of Formula XIV are of interest chiefly as intermediates. Those, however, wherein n is 0, and P.sup.1, P.sup.2, and P.sup.3 are hydrogen possess antibacterial activity and are also useful as antibiotics.
In view of these properties, the compounds of Formula XIII and Formula XIV wherein n is 0, and P.sup.1, P.sup.2, and P.sup.3 are hydrogen are useful for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by sensitive organisms in mammals. For this purpose they are administered orally or parenterally in antibacterially effective non-toxic doses as such or in the form of one of their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, pharmaceutically acceptable metal or amine salts, or as a pharmaceutically acceptable ester.
The pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are those in which the anion does not contribute significantly to the toxicity of the salt and which salts are compatible with the customary pharmaceutical vehicles and adapted for oral or parenteral administration. They include the salts of Formulas XIII and XIV wherein n=0, and P.sup.1 is hydrogen with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid, with organic carboxylic acids or organic sulfonic acids such as acetic acid, citric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, benzoic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, mandelic acid, ascorbic acid, malic acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and other acids known and used in the penicillin and cephalosporin arts. Preparation of these salts is carried out by conventional techniques involving reaction of one of the substances of Formulas XIII or XIV wherein n is 0 and P.sup.1 is hydrogen with the acid in a substantially equivalent amount.
Pharmaceutically acceptable metal and amine salts similarly are those salts of the compounds of Formulas XIII and XIV wherein n is 0 and P.sup.2 is hydrogen which are stable under ambient conditions, and in which the cation does not contribute significantly to the toxicity or biological activity of the salt. Suitable metal salts include the sodium, potassium, barium, zinc, and aluminum salts. The sodium or potassium salts are preferred. Amine salts prepared from amines used for instance with benzyl penicillin which are capable of forming stable salts with the acidic carboxyl group include trialkylamines such as triethylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N-benzyl-.beta.-phenethylamine, 1-ephenamine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, dehydroabietylamine, N-ethylpiperidine, benzylamine, and dicyclohexylamine.
Pharmaceutically acceptable esters include those esters which are active per se, or which serve as pro-drugs by being hydrolyzed in the body to yield the antibiotic per se. Suitable esters of the latter type are the phenacyl, acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, .alpha.-acetoxyethyl, .alpha.-acetoxybenzyl, .alpha.-pivaloyloxyethyl, 3-phthalidyl, 5-indanyl, methoxymethyl, benzoyloxymethyl, .alpha.-ethylbutyryloxymethyl, propionyloxymethyl, valeryloxymethyl, isobutyryloxymethyl, glycyloxymethyl, and others known in the penicillin and cephalosporin arts.
The compounds of Formulas XIII and XIV wherein n is 0, and P.sup.1, P.sup.2, and P.sup.3 are hydrogen atoms and their salts as defined above may be formulated for oral or parenteral use in conventional manner using known pharmaceutical carriers and excipients, and they may be presented in unit dose form or in multiple dose containers. The compositions may be in the form of tablets, capsules, solutions, suspensions, or emulsions. These compounds may also be formulated as suppositories utilizing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other fatty materials. The compounds may, if desired, be administered in combination with other antibiotics including cephalosporins, penicillins, and aminoglycosides.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Table 1 contains a summary of the structures of the products disclosed in Procedures 1-43. Most of these compounds are 7.beta.-(D-phenylglycylamido)cephalosporins having the 1-propen-1-yl group in the 3-position. The terminal carbon atom of the propenyl substituent of some of them bears a substituent such as an alkyl group (methyl), halogen (chlorine or iodine), an aryl group (phenyl), a hetrocyclothio group (1,2,3-triazol-5-yl thio), or an alkoxy group (methoxy). The phenylglycylamido group may be unsubstituted, or mono, or disubstituted by hydroxy, alkoxy, or halogen.

Table 2 provides a summary of the in vitro antibacterial activity of the substances disclosed in the present specification Minimum inhibitory concentrations determined by the agar dilution technique for three groups of organisms designated Gp-Ia, Gp-Ib, and Gn-Ia are provided. Each of these groups of organisms is constituted of five individual strains of microorganism which are identified in a footnote to the table. The Gp-Ia organisms are Gram+ staphylococci which are sensitive to penicillin. The Gp-Ib organisms are Gram+ staphylococci which are resistant to penicillin and produce penicillinase. The Gn-Ia organisms are Gram- bacteria which are sensitive to ampicillin and cephalothin. The present substances have generally low activity against ampicillin and cephalothin resistant Gram- bacteria. The following conclusions can be drawn from Table 2 concerning the in vitro antibacterial activity of these compounds.
All of the compounds have good activity against penicillin sensitive staphylococci (Gp-Ia). They are generally less active against the penicillin resistant staphylococci (Gp-Ib) by a factor of three or more. In each instance, however, the compounds are several fold more active than cephalexin and cefadroxil.
Only those compounds having the unsubstituted cis(Z)-propenyl group in the 3-position have good activity against the Gram- bacteria (Gn-Ia). Refer to Compound Nos. 9, 24, 32, and 42. The trans(E)-propenyl compound, Compound No. 8, is less active against the Gram- bacteria by a factor of 8 relative to the corresponding cis-propenyl compound, Compound No. 9. Similarly, substitution on the terminal methyl group of the propenyl substituent in the 3-position appears to result in a reduction of Gram- activity. Refer to Compound Nos. 13, 15, 21, and 17. This is true of the vinyl compound also, No. 11. These compounds are nevertheless potent antibacterial agents being substantially equivalent to cephalexin and cefadroxil. Ring substitution is in no way detrimental to antibacterial activity. Compare Compound Nos. 9, 24, 32, and 42. Compound No. 37 appears to be an exception to each of the foregoing conclusions, but in fact, it is an highly active substance against both of the Gram+ and Gram- bacteria as will be shown in Table 3.

Table 3 contains comparative data for in vitro antibacterial activity against the same organisms as in Table 2 employing two different bacteriological culture media. Mueller-Hinton agar is the standard medium employed in the tests referred to in Table 2. Table 3 contains a comparison of the minimum inhibitory concentrations of three of the test compounds determined first in Mueller-Hinton medium and then in nutrient agar. Compound No. 9 which contains 4-hydroxy sustitution in the phenyl ring and Compound No. 42 which contains the 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy substitution in the phenyl ring reflect only a moderate medium effect. By this it is meant that the differences in MIC are less than three fold. Compound No. 37, the 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl substituted compound reflects differences in activity between the two media of from 6 to 12 fold, the minimum inhibitory concentrations in nutrient agar being much lower than those determined Mueller-Hinton agar. Accordingly, Compound No. 37 was concluded to be comparable in antibacterial effect to the other cephalosporins having the cis-propenyl group in the 3 -position which are referred to in Table 2. This phenomenon whereby an antibiotic shows greater activity in one type of nutrient medium than in another has been reported and studied previously. Refer to T. A. Pursiano et al. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Vol. 3, No. 1, pp. 33-39 (1973).

The structure activity correlations drawn from the foregoing in vitro studies are born out by the results of in vivo studies in mice. Table 4 is a tabulation of the protective doses for mice infected with a lethal inoculum of a bacteria. Two different bacteria were employed in the studies, one a Gram+ organism and the other a Gram- organism. The protective dose (PD.sub.50) is that dose which when administered to a group of infected mice results in 50% survival after five days. Normally untreated infected mice die within three days following injection of the lethal inoculum.

The data in Table 4 are drawn from several different experiments. In these experiments cephalexin was used as a control treatment. The PD.sub.50 value determined for cephalexin in the same experiment is given in parentheses next to the PD.sub.50 values of the test compounds. It is evident that each of the cephalosporins possesses good activity against the Gram+ Staphylococcus aureus infection, and that the compounds bearing the cis propenyl group in the 3-position are more active against the Gram- infection, Compounds 9, 24, and 37.
Table 5 contains comparative blood-level data for mice treated orally and intramuscularly with the test compounds listed in Table 1. Uniformly good oral absorption is reflected except for Compound No. 21 which bears a heterocyclothio substituent on the 3-propenyl group. Compound No. 37 exhibits exceptionally high blood levels in the mouse following oral administration. This compound has been shown to be metabolized in the rat to Compound No. 42. Refer to Procedure 43. Compound No. 37 is the 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl compound and Compound No. 42 is the 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl compound. The latter has been shown to have high in vitro and in vivo activity.

Table 6 contains additional in vivo data for Compound No. 9 against four other organisms compared to cephalexin, cefachlor, and cefadroxil. Tables 7 and 8 contain comparative in vitro data for Compound No. 9 versus cephalexin, cefadroxil, and cefachlor with respect to a number of Streptococci, Neisseria, Haemophilis, and various anerobes.
In rat urinary recovery experiments, the 24 hour recovery of Compound No. 9 from the urine of rats treated orally is comparable to that of cephalexin and cefadroxil, and greater than that of cefachlor.

The compounds of the present invention are prepared by application of the synthetic routes disclosed in U.K. Specification No. 1,342,241, U.S. Pat. No. 3,994,884, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,431, which are cited above, to the appropriately selected starting materials. In essence, formation of the substituted vinyl group in the 3-position of the cephalosporins of the present invention involves reaction of a halide reactant with a triarylphosphine to yield a phosphonium salt which on treatment with base yields a phosphoranyl intermediate. The latter is then treated with a carbonyl reactant to produce the compound of the present invention. Either the halide reactant or the carbonyl reactant contains the cephalosporin nucleus. This is illustrated in the following reaction schemes. ##STR9##
In the foregoing reaction schemes, R.sup.3 is H, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy-C.sub.1-4 -alkyl, C.sub.7-14 aralkyl, or the group AlkX wherein Alk and X are as previously defined. The symbol Q refers to the 7-amino-3-cephem-3-yl-4-carboxylic acid nucleus wherein the amino and carboxylic acid groups may bear protecting groups such as the silyl group or other groups which are well-known to those skilled in the chemistry of the beta-lactam antibiotics, or Q may be a 7-acylamino-3-cephem-3-yl-4-carboxylic acid nucleus where the 7-acylamino group may be one which conventionally appears in cephalosporin antibiotics including the .alpha.-amino-.alpha.-substituted phenylacetamido group of the present invention as defined with respect to Formulas XIII and IX. The sulfoxides of the foregoing have advantages. Specifically, Q has one of the following formulas: ##STR10## wherein: R.sup.1 has the same meaning as previously
n is the integer 0, or 1 referring to the number of oxygen atoms attached to sulfur,
Ac refers to an acyl group of the sort ordinarily found in the 7-acylaminocephalosporins such as phenylacetyl, phenoxyacetyl and
B is an alkylidene or aralkylidene protecting group derived from an aldehyde or ketone such as the benzylidene group which is easily removed at a subsequent stage for instance by hydrolysis using Girard's reagent T.
P.sup.1, P.sup.2, and P.sup.3 are hydrogen atoms or protecting groups of the sort conventionally used in cephalosporin chemistry with amino groups, hydroxy groups, and the carboxyl group.
Suitable carbonyl protecting groups (P.sup.2) include aralkyl groups such as benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, and diphenylmethyl(benzhydryl)alkyl groups such as t-butyl; haloalkyl groups such as 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, and other carboxyl protecting groups described in the literature, for instance, in British Specicification No. 1,399,086. We prefer to utilize carboxyl protecting groups which are readily removed by treatment with acid, particularly benzyhdryl or t-butyl.
Amino and hydroxy protecting groups (P.sup.1 and P.sup.3) are well-known in the art and include the trityl and acyl groups such as chloroacetyl, formyl, trichloroethoxycarbonyl, tert.-butoxycarbonyl, carbobenzyloxy, etc. Again amino protecting groups which are readily removed by treatment with acid are preferred, particularly the tert.-butoxycarbonyl group.
In Reaction Schemes 1 and 2 when cephalosporin nucleus Q is utilized in the form of the 1-oxide (n=1) the oxides are prepared by known procedures such as by oxidation of the corresponding cephalosporin (n=0) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid or peracetic acid. At some later stage in the synthesis the 1-oxide is reduced by known procedures, for example by reduction with iodide ion in an aqueous medium.
Conversion of the halide reactant of the formula QCH.sub.2 X according to Scheme 1 to the phosphoranyl intermediate is preferably carried out employing a halide reactant wherein X is iodide. If a chloride or bromide halide reactant is used it may be first transformed into the iodide by treatment with sodium iodide in dimethylformamide or acetone solution. The iodide reactant readily reacts with a triarylphosphine such as triphenylphosphine in an organic liquid vehicle which in inert to the reactants under the reaction conditions. Room temperature for a brief period of up to several hours constitute suitable conditions. Suitable triarylphosphines in addition to triphenylphosphine include the readily available compounds having reaction compatible aryl groups such as substituted phenyl e.g. tolyl, naphthyl, substituted naphthyl, and heteroaromatic or substituted heteroaromatic groups. The first stage of the reaction involves formation of the triarylphosphonium salt which ordinarily precipitates from solution and is collected on a filter. The triarylphosphonium salt is then dissolved in a suitable liquid organic solvent which is water immiscible and inert under the reaction conditions such as chloroform, trichloroethylene, or other polychlorinated or brominated methane or ethane. The phosphoranyl intermediate is then produced in situ by treatment of the solution with aqueous alkali metal carbonate, bicarbonate, or hydroxide at room temperature. The organic layer containing the phosphoranyl intermediate is separated, washed with water, and dried in the usual fashion. The carbonyl reactant shown in the reaction scheme is then added to the dry solution of the phosphoranyl intermediate and the final step of the reaction then takes place at room temperature again within a relatively brief reaction time of from about 2 to 20 hours. The desired product represented by the formula QCH.dbd.CHR.sup.3 is recovered by techniques known to those skilled in organic chemical laboratory procedures such as chromatography on a silica gel column.
The halide reactants of the formula QCH.sub.2 X of Scheme 1 are produced from the corresponding 7-amino or 7-acylamino-3-hydroxymethyl-ceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid derivatives by methods which are known in principle.
Conversion of the halide reactant of the formula R.sup.3 CH.sub.2 X according to Scheme 2 to the phosphoranyl intermediate may be carried out with either the chloride, bromide or iodide (X=Cl, Br, or I). If desired the chloride or bromide may be transformed to the iodide as before, but this is not essential. Reaction with the triarylphosphine such as triphenylphosphine is carried out either without a solvent or in an organic liquid vehicle which is inert under the reaction conditions. Room temperature or elevated temperatures for a period of from 1 to 24 hours at 20.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. may be employed. The triarylphosphonium salt ordinarily precipitates and is collected on a filter. It is then dissolved in a suitable liquid organic solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide or one which is immiscible with water such as ether, or tetrahydrofuran, and treated with a base such as butyl lithium, phenyl lithium, sodium methoxide, or sodium hydride for a period of from several minutes to several hours at a temperature in the range of -40.degree. C. to +50.degree. C. The carbonyl reactant is then added to the dry reaction solution and the reaction is allowed to take place at -40.degree. C. to +50.degree. C. for from one to several hours. The desired product represented by the formula ##STR11## is recovered as before.
Scheme 1 has been found convenient for preparation of those substances of the formula QCH.dbd.CHR.sup.3 in which R.sup.3 is lower alkyl, phenylalkyl, naphthalkyl, haloalkyl, or alkoxyalkyl in the cis-(Z) configuration. According to one variation of Scheme 1, which we refer to as Method A, 7.beta.-[.alpha.(N-t-butoxy-carbonylamino)-.alpha.-(p-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3-chloromethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid benzhydryl ester is used as halide reactant. This is illustrated in Procedures 4, 5, and 6 hereof.
A further variation of Scheme 1 which we have found convenient is similar to Method A in that 7.beta.-[.alpha.-(N-t-butoxycarbonylamino)-.alpha.-(p-hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-3-chloromethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid benzhydryl ester is employed as starting material, but in Method B chloroacetaldehyde is employed to produce the blocked 7-aminocephalosporanic acid having the 3-chloro-1-propen-1-yl group in the 3-position. The latter material possesses antibacterial activity, but not to an outstanding extent. In Method B the 3-chloro-1-propen-1-yl compound is employed as an intermediate and converted first to the corresponding 3-iodo-1-propen-1-yl compound which is then converted with heteroaromatic thiols to produce 3-heteroarylthioprop-1-en-1-yl-cephalosporin derivatives.
A further variation of Scheme 1 we refer to as Method C. In this variation 7-amino-3-chloromethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid benzhydryl ester is prepared as before and the 7-amino group is protected by reaction with benzaldehyde to produce the benzylidene protecting group.
The latter is then treated with triphenylphosphine to provide the phosphonium salt which is then converted with base to the phosphoranyl intermediate and the latter is treated with an aldehyde to give the 3-substituted vinyl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid which then may be acylated to introduce the desired acyl group into the 7-position.
Two variations of Scheme 2 are proposed. In the first, Method D, 3-hydroxymethyl-7-phenylacetamido-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid prepared as described above in which the carboxylic acid is protected as the benzhydryl ester is converted to the corresponding 3-formyl compound. The latter is then allowed to react with the phosphoranyl intermediate derived from a halide of the formula R.sup.3 CH.sub.2 X as shown in Scheme 2, and the desired 7-acylamino group is introduced by acyl exchange.
Method E is a further variation of Reaction Scheme 2 in which blocked 7-p-hydroxyphenylglycylamido-3-formyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid is used as carbonyl reactant.
7-Phenylacetamidocephalosporanic acid is a convenient starting material in view of its ready availability. The acetoxy group thereof may be readily hydrolyzed enzymatically employing wheat bran as the enzyme source to yield 7-phenylacetamido-3-hydroxymethyl-ceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid group may be protected by conversion to the benzhydryl ester by treatment of the acid with diphenyldiazomethane. The ester is then treated with phosphorus pentachloride under known conditions which result in cleavage of the 7-phenylacetyl group and conversion of the 3-hydroxymethyl group to a 3-chloromethyl group. The production of 7-amino-3-chloromethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid benzhydryl ester by these methods is illustrated in Procedures 1 and 2.
Alternatively the 7-phenylacetamido-3-hydroxymethylceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid may be converted to the 3-halomethyl compound and thence to the phosphoranyl intermediate followed by reaction with an aldehyde to produce the substituted 3-vinylcephalosporin according to one of the variants of Reaction Scheme 1.
The cephalosporin-3-carboxaldehyde represented by the formula QCH.dbd.O in the above reaction scheme which serves as carbonyl reactant in Reaction Scheme 2 is produced by oxidation of a 7-acylamino-3-hydroxymethyl-ceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid ester as is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,351,596 cited above. Reaction Scheme 2 is the less preferred of the two routes shown, and does not seem to be suitable for the propenyl products of Formula XIII.
The compounds having the formula QCH.dbd.CHR.sup.3 exist in the cis(Z)- and trans(E)-configurations. Those compounds which have the cis(or Z)-configuration are preferred. They have greater antibacterial activity than the corresponding substances having the trans(or E)-configuration. The compounds of Formula XIV are useful as intermediates for the preparation of other cephalosporins having the formula OCH.dbd.CHR.sup.3 wherein R.sup.3 is the methylene group substituted with the residue of a nucleophilic group such as the mercapto, alkylmercapto, arylmercapto, or heteroarylmercapto groups such as 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylmercapto and 2-methyl-6-pyridinylmercapto. This is illustrated below in Procedure 20. The iodomethyl compounds are preferred as intermediates for nucleophilic displacement processess.
Scheme 1 is adapted to preparation of a product of Formula XIV by substitution of the appropriate carbonyl reactant of the formula XAlkCHO for the R.sup.3 CHO reactant shown.

Procedure 43
Isolation of Compound 42 from the Urine of Rats fed Compound 37
Six male Wistar rats (400-600 g) were placed in steel metabolic cages after the oral administration of Compound 37 at the dose of 100 mg/kg and urine was collected over a period of 24 hours. The rats were fed their regular diet and given water during the experiment. The following table shows the volume of urine collected from time to time.
______________________________________ 0-2 hr 2-4 hr 4-6 hr 6-24 hr Total______________________________________Urine volume (ml) 18 19.5 13 42 92.5______________________________________
The urine (ca. 90 ml) was adjusted to pH 3 with N hydrochloric acid and filtered to remove a precipitate. The filtrate was chromatographed on a column packed with 300 ml of HP-20 by eluting with 2 L of water and 2 L of 30% methanol under monitirong with HPLC. The fractions containing the bioactive components of the 30% methanol eluate were collected, concentrated to 10 ml and lyophilized to give 390 mg of brown solid. A solution of the solid in 20 ml of water was chromatographed on a column packed with 200 ml of the packing of a prepPAK-C.sub.18 cartridge (Waters) by eluting with water, 5% methanol, and 10% methanol, successively. The first half of the 5% methanol eluate was concentrated to 5 ml and lyophilized to give 44 mg of Compound 37 (70% pure) containing impurities derived from urine. The second half of the 5% methanol eluate was concentrated to 5 ml and lyophilized to give 36 mg of product, which was a mixture of Compound 37, Compound 42, and impurities derived from urine. The eluate with 10% methanol (ca. 600 ml) was concentrated to 5 ml and lyophilized to give 38 mg of Compound 42 (70% pure by HPLC), which was re-chromatographed on a column of the same packing as above (40 ml) by eluting with water, 5% methanol and 10% methanol. The desired fractions eluted with 10% methanol were combined and concentrated to 5 ml and lyophilized to give 16 mg of Compound 42 which was 90% pure by HPLC (0.02M acetate buffer (pH 4)-acetonitrile (85:15).
