Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to cephalosporin antibiotics, to pharmaceutical
formulations comprising the antibiotics, and to a method for the treatment
of infectious diseases in man and other animals.
Cephalosporin antibiotics have the bicyclic ring system represented by the
following formula wherein the numbering system is that commonly employed
in the arbitrary cepham nomenclature system.
##STR3##
In the field of antibacterial therapy, the need for new chemotherapeutic
agents is one that will never extinguish. Mutant strains resistant to
existing antibacterial agents are encountered frequently. In particular,
many strains of Staph. aureus and Staph. epi (so-called methicillin
resistant Staph. (MRS)) are becoming increasingly resistant to available
antibacterial agents. (see, for example, Phillips, I., and Cookson, B., J.
Appl. Bacteriology 67(6)1989). To meet this need, considerable research
effort continues to focus on such new agents. The present invention
provides antibacterial agents useful against a wide variety of
gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The compounds of the present
invention are especially useful against these methicillin-resistant Staph.
organisms.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides various 3-thiazolothio cephalosporins useful
as antibacterial agents. In particular, the present invention provides
7.beta.-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)oximino-(or
alkoximino)acetylamino-3-optionally-substituted-thiazolothio-3-cephem-4-ca
rboxylic acids useful as antibacterial agents. The invention also provides
pharmaceutical formulations and a therapeutic method useful in the
treatment of antibacterial infections in man and other animals.

sulfur, and combinations thereof. Other examples include those described
in Fletcher, Dermer, & Otis, Nomenclature of Organic Compounds, pp. 49-64
(1974), incorporated herein by reference.
Compounds of Formula (1) may be prepared according to Scheme 1:
##STR6##
The starting material (A), (wherein R is methyl),
2-(trityl)amino-o-(methoxy-imino)-4-thiazoleacetic acid may be prepared
from the corresponding free amine (available from Aldrich Chemical Co.,
Inc., 940 west Saint Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisc. 53233) utilizing
methodology well-known in the .beta.-lactam art. Starting material (B), or
benzhydryl 7-amino-3-trifluoromethanesulfonoxy-3-cephem-4-carboxylate may
be prepared using known methodology, such as from the corresponding
3-enol-3-cepham and trifluoromethanesulfonoxyacetic anhydride. (Syn.
Commun. 20(14), 2185-2189 (1990)).
In Scheme 1, the acid chloride of (A) can be prepared by known methodology,
for example, by reaction with phosphoryl chloride, and reacted with the
free amine (B) to form the 7-acyl-3-triflate (C). The thiazolothio group
can then be introduced by reacting the triflate (C) with a compound of
formula
##STR7##
in the presence of a base such as NaH. The final product (1) can then be
prepared by removal of amino and carboxy protecting groups. In the above
scheme, CF.sub.3 CO.sub.2 H/(CH.sub.3 CH.sub.2).sub.3 SiH is utilized to
remove the trityl and benzhydryl groups. One of ordinary skill in the art
of .beta.-lactam chemistry will appreciate that other protecting groups
would be efficacious. Further, one may also introduce the thiazolothio
function into the 3-position of the cephem nucleus (B) prior to the
insertion of the 7-acyl functions to provide useful intermediates set
forth in formula (2) below:
##STR8##
In Scheme (2), the acetic acid (A), dissolved in DMF, is treated with
N-methylmorpholine and oxalyl chloride. A mixture of
7.beta.-amino-3-chloro-cephem dissolved in DMF and treated with
bis(dimethylsilyl)urea (BSU) and pyridine is combined with the acetic
acid, to form (C). Compound (C) is then treated with diphenyldiazomethane,
and the thiazolothio group is introduced in the presence of a base such as
NaH, to form compound (D). The removal of the benzhydryl and trityl groups
may be removed as in Scheme (1).
Compounds of the formula
##STR9##
where A and A' are taken together to form a group of the formulae
##STR10##
and Y is nitrogen may be prepared according to the Scheme (3):
##STR11##
In Scheme (3), 3-aminopyridine is acylated with di-t-butyldicarbonate to
introduce the t-butoxycarbonyl (t-BOC) protecting group. (It will be
appreciated that two other pyridinothiazolothio mercaptans may be prepared
by known methodology using other amino pyridine isomers.) The t-BOC
protected 3-aminopyridine is then treated with n-butyllithium in
tetrahydrofuran followed by elemental sulfur (Ss), followed by treatment
with saturated ammonium chloride. The resulting
3-t-butoxycarbonylamino-4-thia-pyridine is treated with a mixture of
acetic acid and HCl to provide 3-amino-4-mercaptopyridine hydrochloride.
The desired 5-pyridinothiazolo thiomercaptan can then be prepared by
treating this compound with carbon disulfide under basic conditions.
When A and A' are taken together to form a group of the formula
##STR12##
the desired thiol of the formula
##STR13##
may be made as shown in scheme (4) below:
##STR14##
In the above scheme, 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine is treated with potassium
isothiocyanate to provide 2-socyanato-3-nitropyridine, which is in turn
hydrolyzed to provide 2-mercapto-3-nitropyridine. The 3-nitro intermediate
is then reduced by treatment with SnCl.sub.2 /HCl to provide
2-mercapto-3-amino pyridine. The desired pyridinothiazolothio mercaptan is
then prepared by base catalyzed condensation with CS.sub.2 (KOH/CH.sub.3
OH/CS.sub.2 /H.sub.2 O).
Examples of compounds falling within the scope of formula 1 are set forth
in the table below:

In the above Formula (1), R is preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.1
-C.sub.6 haloalkyl. A preferred C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group is methyl. A
preferred C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 haloalkyl group is fluoro-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6
alkyl. A further preferred fluoro-C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group is the
2-fluoroeth-1-yl group.
In the above Formula (1), it is preferred that A and A' are taken together
to form a group of the formulae
##STR19##
It is further preferred that Y is nitrogen and A and A' are taken together
to form a group of the formula
##STR20##
for example, providing a compound of the formula
##STR21##
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Two further preferred
compounds of the above formula are where R is methyl or 2-fluoroeth-1-yl.
This invention also provides a method for treating infectious diseases in
man and other animals and pharmaceutical formulations suitable for
administration in the treatment method. The therapeutic method of this
invention comprises administering to man or other animals an
antibiotically effective non-toxic dose of a compound represented by
Formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
An antibiotically effective amount is an amount between about 25 mg and
about 2 grams. The compound, salt or ester may be administered in a single
dose or in multiple doses throughout the day. Treatment may continue for a
week to ten days or longer depending upon the duration of the infection.
The particular dose and regimen can depend on such factors as the weight
and age of the patient, the particular causative organism, the severity of
the infection, the general health of the patient, and the tolerance of the
individual to the antibiotic.
The cephalosporin may be administered parenterally, subcutaneously or
rectally. As with other .beta.-lactam antibiotics, the method of this
invention may be used prophylactically to prevent infections after
exposure or before possible exposure, e.g., preoperatively. The antibiotic
may be administered by conventional methods, e.g., by syringe or by
intravenous drip.
The pharmaceutically-acceptable salts as noted above can be useful forms of
the antibiotics for preparing antibiotic formulations.
The pharmaceutical formulations of the invention comprise an antibiotically
effective non-toxic amount of a compound represented by Formula (1) or a
pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier.
Parenteral formulations of the antibacterial agent for injection are
formulated with Water-for-Injection, Ringer's solution, physiological
saline or glucose solution. The antibiotic also may be administered in an
intravenous fluid by the drip method.
For parenteral use the antibacterial agent of Formula (1) or a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be made up preferably in dry
crystalline powder form or as a lyophilized powder and filled into vials.
Such vials may contain between about 100 mg and about 2 grams of
antibiotic per vial.
As a further aspect of the present invention, there are provided novel
intermediates of Formula (2):
##STR22##
wherein R' is amino or a protected amino group; R' is hydrogen or a
carboxy-protecting group; and A and A' are independently hydrogen, C.sub.1
-C.sub.6 alkyl, phenyl, nitro, amino, a 5-6 membered heterocycle
containing nitrogen or sulfur, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy; or A and A'
taken together form a group of the formulae
##STR23##
wherein X is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy,
C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxycarbonyl, amino, nitro, or carboxy, and Y is
nitrogen or carbon.
In Formula (2), the term "carboxy-protecting group" refers to one of the
ester derivatives of the carboxylic acid group commonly employed to block
or protect the carboxylic acid group while reactions are carried out on
other functional groups on the compound. Examples of such carboxylic acid
protecting groups include 4-nitrobenzyl, 4-methoxybenzyl,
3,4-di-methoxybenzyl, 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzyl,
2,4,6-trimethylbenzyl, pentamethylbenzyl, 3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl,

carboxy-protecting group employed is not critical so long as the
derivatized carboxylic acid is stable to the condition of subsequent
reaction(s) on other positions of the molecule and can be removed at the
appropriate point without disrupting the remainder of the molecule. In
particular, it is important not to subject the carboxy-protected molecule
to strong nucleophilic bases or reductive conditions employing highly
activated metal catalysts such as Raney nickel. (Such harsh removal
conditions are also to be avoided when removing amino-protecting groups
discussed herein.) Preferred carboxylic acid protecting groups are the
allyl, the benzhydryl, and the p-nitro benzyl groups. Similar
carboxy-protecting groups used in the cephalosporin, penicillin and
peptide arts can also be used to protect a carboxy group. Further examples
of these groups are found in E. Haslam, "Protective Groups in Organic
Chemistry", J. G. W. McOmie, Ed., Plenum Press, New York, N.Y., 1973,
Chapter 5, and T. W. Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis",

The term "protected amino group" as used in Formula (2) refers to an amino
group substituted by a group commonly employed to block or protect the
amino functionality while reacting other functional groups on the
compound. Examples of such amino-protecting groups include the formyl
group, the trityl group, the t-butoxycarbonyl group, the phthalimido
group, the phenoxyacetyl, trichloroacetyl group, the chloroacetyl,
bromoacetyl and iodoacetyl groups, urethane-type blocking groups such as

Preferred amino-protecting groups are the allyloxycarbonyl, the
phenoxyacetyl, the t-butoxycarbonyl, and the trityl groups. Similar
amino-protecting groups used in the cephalosporin, pencillin and peptide
art are also embraced by the above terms. Further examples of groups
referred to by the above terms are described by J. W. Barton, "Protective
Groups in Organic Chemistry", J. G. W. McOmie, Ed., Plenum Press, New

D. Deprotection to provide title compound
A 0.42 g (438 mmol) sample of the product from part C, above, was suspended
with 7 ml of triethylsilane and 10 ml of CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and treated
with 5 ml of trifuloroacetic acid and stirred at room temperature. The
reaction mixture was then concentrated, in vacuo, utilizing toluene to
azeotrope excess trifluoroacetic acid. The resulting residue was purified
by reverse phase chromatography (10%-20% CH.sub.3 CN/H.sub.2 O).
