The present invention relates to cephalosporins, a process for their production, pharmaceutical compositions utilizing said compounds, either alone or in combination with other antibiotics, methods of treating bacterial infections in humans and animals utilizing said compounds either alone or in combination with known antibiotics, animal feedstuffs and growth-promoting agents.
It is known in the art that certain acetamidocephalosporanic acids such as cephaloglycine, which carry an aryl radical and an amino group in the .alpha.-position of the acetamido group, may be produced by synthetic methods and can be used as antibacterial agents. (See German Offenlegungsschriften 1,670,625, 1,795,188 and 1,795,292; U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,303,193, 3,352,858, 3,485,819 and 3,634,416; Japanese Pat. application No. 16,871/66; and British Pat. No. 1,073,530.) However, these compounds are not active against infections which are caused by bacteria from the genus Pseudomonades.

Suitable diluents for the process of the present invention are both mixtures of water with water-miscible, organic solvents, such as ketones, for example, acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; ethers, for example, tetrahydrofurane and dioxane; lower alkylnitriles, for example, acetonitrile; dimethylformamide; alkyl alcohols, for example, isopropanol; and/or dimethylsulphoxide; and these organic solvents (individually or as mixtures) without added water. If it is possible to measure the pH during the reaction according to the present invention because of the presence of water, the pH value of the reaction is preferably kept at between 6.5 and 7.5 by added bases or by using buffer mixtures. However, the reaction according to the present invention can also be carried out in a different pH range, for example, between 4.5 and 9.0, or at pH 2.0 to 4.5. Furthermore, it is possible to carry out the reaction in water-immiscible solvents, such as halogenated hydrocarbons, for example, chloroform or methylene chloride, with addition of organic amines, preferably triethylamine, diethylamine or N-ethylpiperidine. The reaction can also be carried out in a mixture of water and a water-immiscible organic solvent, such as, for example, ether (diethyl ether); halogenated hydrocarbons, for example, chloroform and also methylene chloride; carbon disulphide; water-immiscible ketones, for example, isobutyl methyl ketone; esters, for example, ethyl acetate; or hydrocarbons; for example, benzene; in which case it is advisable to stir the mixture vigorously and keep the pH value between about 4.5 and 9.0, or, for example, 2.0 and 3.0, by adding bases or using buffer solutions. However, the reaction can also be carried out in water alone; that is to say, in the absence of organic solvents, in the presence of an organic or inorganic base or with the addition of buffer substances.
Organic bases suitable to be added according to the process of the present invention include tertiary aliphatic or aromatic amines, for example, pyridine; or lower trialkylamines, for example, triethylamine; or secondary aliphatic or aromatic amines, which, because of steric hindrance, are difficult to acylate, for example, dicyclohexylamine.
Inorganic bases which can be used are, above all, alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides; for example, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide.
The amount of the bases used is determined, for example, by the desired maintenance of a particular pH (compare the comments above). If a pH measurement and adjustment is not carried out or is not possible, or not meaningful, because of the absence of sufficient amounts of water in the diluent, preferably about 1 to 5, especially about 2, mol equivalents of base are added.
Examples of buffer mixtures which can be used are phosphate buffers (sodium phosphate/phosphoric acid), acetate buffers (sodium acetate/acetic acid) and citrate buffers (sodium citrate/citric acid), and the mixing ratios required to maintain the desired pH values can easily be determined.
The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the reaction is carried out at between -20.degree. C and about +50.degree. C, preferably between 0.degree. C and +20.degree. C. As in the case of most chemical reactions, higher or lower temperatures than those specified in the examples can be used.
The reaction can be carried out under atmospheric pressure but also under reduced or elevated pressure. In general, it is carried out at atmospheric pressure.
In carrying out the process according to the present invention, the reactants can be reacted with one another in, for example, equimolar amounts. However, it can also be advisable to use one of the two reactants in excess in order to facilitate the purification, or preparation in a pure form, of the desired cephalosporin and to increase the yield. The amounts of the reactants of the formulae II and III can be varied greatly without adverse consequences. For example, the reactants of the formula II can be employed in an excess of 0.1 to 0.3 mol equivalent and less decomposition of the reactants of the formula III in an aqueous solvent mixture can thereby be achieved. The excess of the reactants of the formula II can easily be removed when working up the reaction mixture, because of the good solubility in aqueous mineral acids. On the other hand, it is, however, also possible, with advantage, to employ the reactants of the formula III in an excess of, for example, 0.1 to 1.0 mol equivalent. As a result of this, the reactants of the formula III are utilized better and the decomposition of the reactants of the formula III, which takes place as a side reaction in aqueous solvents, is compensated for. Since the compounds of the formula III added in excess rapidly change, in water, into neutral nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, which can easily be removed, the purity of the cephalosporins is hardly impaired thereby.
The working up of the reaction batches to prepare the cephalosporins of the formula I and their salts and the purification of the new compounds is throughout effected in the manner per se known from cephalosporin chemistry. For example, the free acids of the formula I can be prepared by acidifying a solution of the sal s, for example, of the sodium salts, with an inorganic or organic acid, for example, with dilute hydrochloric acid or acetic acid. The free acids of the formula I can be converted in the usual manner into the salts with nontoxic bases, for example, by adding the base in question to a solution of the acids of the formula I in ether. Other methods for effecting interconversion of the free acid and the salts are known in the art.

The following may be mentioned as examples of illnesses which can be prevented, ameliorated and/or healed by the active compounds according to the present invention: illnesses of the respiratory tracts and of the throat; otitis; pharyngitis; pneumonia; peritonitis; pyelonephritis; cystitis; endocarditis; systemic infections; bronchitis; arthritis.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention contain a major or minor amount, e.g. 0.1% to 99.5%, preferably 0.5% to 95%, of active ingredient as above defined in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic, inert diluent or carrier, the carrier comprising one or more solid, semi-solid or liquid diluent, filler and formulation adjuvant which is nontoxic, inert and pharmaceutically-acceptable. Such pharmaceutical compositions are preferably in dosage unit form; i.e., physically discrete units containing a predetermined amount of the drug corresponding to a fraction or multiple of the dose which is calculated to produce the desired therapeutic response. The dosage units can contain one, two, three, four or more single doses, or, alternatively, one half, third or fourth of a single dose. A single dose preferably contains an amount sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect upon administration at one application of one or more dosage units according to a predetermined dosage regimen, usually a whole, half, third or quarter of the daily dosage administered once, twice, three or four times a day. Other therapeutic agents can also be present.
Although the dosage and dosage regimen must in each case be carefully adjusted, utilizing sound professional judgment and considering the age, weight and condition of the recipient, the route of administration and the nature and gravity of the illness, generally the dosage will be from 6 to 800, preferably 15 to 300, mg/kg of body weight per day. In some instances, a sufficient therapeutic effect can be obtained at a lower dose, while in others, a larger dose will be required.
Oral administration can be effected utilizing solid and liquid dosage unit forms such as powders, tablets, dragees, capsules, granulates, suspensions, solutions and the like.
Powders are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing with a similarly comminuted pharmaceutical carrier such as an edible carbohydrate as, for example, starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose or mannitol. Sweetening, flavoring, preservative, dispersing and coloring agents can also be present.
Capsules are made by preparing a powder mixture as described above and filling formed gelatin sheaths. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate or solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicament when the capsule is ingested.
Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitably comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and, optionally, with a binder such as carboxymethyl cellulose, an alginate, gelatin, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt and/or an absorption agent such as bentonite, kaolin or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting with a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acacia mucilage or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the resulting imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The medicaments can also be combined with free flowing inert carriers and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear or opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar or polymeric material and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages.
Oral fluids such as solutions, syrups and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of the compound. Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored aqueous sucrose solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a nontoxic alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions can be formulated by dispersing the compound in a nontoxic vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxyethylene sorbitol esters, preservatives, flavor additives such as peppermint oil or saccharin, and the like can also be added.
Where appropriate, dosage unit formulations for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release, as, for example, by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax or the like.
Parenteral administration can be effected utilizing liquid dosage unit forms such as sterile solutions and suspensions intended for subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection. These are prepared by suspending or dissolving a measured amount of the compound in a nontoxic liquid vehicle suitable for injection, such as an aqueous or oleaginous medium, and sterilizing the suspension or solution. Alternatively, a measured amount of the compound is placed in a vial and the vial and its contents are sterilized and sealed. An accompanying vial or vehicle can be provided for mixing prior to administration. Nontoxic salts and salt solutions can be added to render the injection isotonic. Stabilizers, preservatives and emulsifiers can also be added.
Rectal administration can be effected utilizing suppositories in which the compound is admixed with low-melting, water-soluble, or insoluble solids such as polyethylene glycol, cocoa butter, higher esters, as, for example, myristyl palmitate, or mixtures thereof.
Topical administration can be effected utilizing solid dosage unit forms such as powders or liquid or semiliquid dosage unit forms such as solutions, suspensions, ointments, pastes, creams and gels. The powders are formulated utilizing such carriers as talc, bentonite, silicic acid, polyamide powder and the like. Liquid and semiliquid formulations can utilize such carriers, in addition to those described above, as polyethylene glycol, vegetable and mineral oils, alcohols such as isopropanol and the like. Other excipients such as emulsifiers, preservatives, colorants, perfumes and the like can also be present. Formulations can also be administered as an aerosol, utilizing the usual propellants such as the chlorofluorohydrocarbons.
The preferred daily dose is from 6 to 800, preferably 15 to 300, mg/kg, preferably 15 to 300 mg/kg of active agent. This may be broken up into smaller dosages of from 2 to 300 mg/kg, preferably 5 to 100 mg/kg.
While the routes of administration include oral, parenteral (i.e., intramuscular, intraperitoneal, and intravenous), rectal, and topical, parenteral administration is particularly preferred.
The preferred pharmaceutical compositions are therefore those in a form suitable for parenteral administration such as solutions and emulsions.
The compounds of the present invention may also be used as a feedstuff additive in the treatment of nonhuman animals, such as ruminants. The present invention therefore includes a medicated fodder incorporating a compound according to the present invention and a nutritious material. Examples of typical nutritious materials are oil cake grains (such as barley), fish meal, soya bean meal, extracted sugar beet, silage hay and skimmed milk.
The new cephalosporins are distinguished by powerful antibacterial effects which have been tested in vivo and in vitro, and by oral resorbability.
The cephalosporins according to the present invention can be combined with aminoglycoside antibiotics such as Gentamicin, Sisomicin, Kanamicin, Amikacin or Tobramicin, to broaden the spectrum of action or to boost the action.
