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 INVENTIONThe 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.

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: ##STR15##

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, benzhydryl, 4,4'-dimethoxybenzhydryl, 2,2',4,4'-tetramethoxybenzhydryl, t-butyl, t-amyl, trityl, 4-methoxytrityl, 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl, 4,4',4"-trimethoxytrityl, 2-phenylprop-2-yl, trimethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, phenacyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, .beta.-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl, .beta.-(di(n-butyl)methyldilyl)ethyl, p-toluenesulfonylethyl, 4-nitrobenzylsulfonylethyl, allyl, cinnamyl, 1-(trimethylsilylmethyl)prop-1-en-3-yl, and like moieties. The species of 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", John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y., 1981, Chapter 5.
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 benzyloxycarbonyl, 4-phenylbenzyloxycarbonyl, 2-methlbenzyloxycarbonyl, 4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, 3-chlorobenzyloxycarbonyl, 2-chlorobenzyloxycarbonyl, 2,4-dichlorobenzyloxycarbonyl, 4-bromobenzyloxycarbonyl, 3-bromobenzyloxycarbonyl, 4-nitrobenxyloxycarbonyl, 4-cyanobenzyloxycarbonyl, 2-(4-xenyl)isopropoxycarbonyl, 1,1-diphenyleth-1-yloxycarbonyl, 1,1-diphenyl-prop-1-yloxycarbonyl, 2-phenylprop-2-yloxycarbonyl, 2-(P-toluyl)prop-2-yloxycarbonyl, cyclopentanyloxy-carbonyl, 1-methylcyclopentanyloxycarbonyl, cyclo-hexanyloxycarbonyl, 1-methylcyclohexanyloxycarbonyl, 2-methycyclohexanyloxycarbonyl, 2-(4-toluylsulfonyl)ethoxycarbonyl, 2-(methylsulfonyl)ethoxycarbonyl, 2-(triphenylphosphino)ethoxycarbonyl, 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl ("FMOC"), 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxycarbonyl, allyloxycarbonyl, 1-(trimethylsilylmethyl)-prop-1-enyloxycarbonyl, 5-benzisoxalylmethoxycarbonyl, 4-acetoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, 2-ethynyl-2-propoxycarbonyl, cyclopropylmethoxycarbonyl, 4-(decyloxy)benzyloxycarbonyl, isobornyloxycarbonyl, 1-piperidyloxycarbonyl and the like; the benzoylmethylsulfonyl group, the 2-(nitro)phenylsulfenyl group, the diphenylphosphine oxide group and like amino-protecting groups. The species of amino-protecting group employed is not critical so long as the derivatized amino group 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. 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 York, N.Y., 1973, Chapter 2, and T. W. Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y., 1981. Chapter 7.
In Formula (2), it is preferred that A and A' are taken together to form a group of the formulae ##STR24## It is especially preferred that A and A' are taken together to form a group of the formula ##STR25## thus providing a compound of the formula ##STR26##
