1066'~69 PRIOR ART

The cleavage of penicillins to 6-aminopenicillanic acid in 1959 and the chemical cleavage of cephalosporin to give the corresponding 7-aminocephalosporanic acid made possible the synthesis of new synthetic penicillins and cephalosporins not previously available vja fermentation procedures. Acylation of the amino group has produced derivatives containing a heterocyclic ring in the 6-posi-tion side chain, as in the case of the penicillin series, or in the corresponding 7-position side chain, as in the case o~ the cephalosporin series. Such heterocycles include the thiophene ring, as for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 3,218,318, 3,449,338 and 3,49~,979 (cephaloridine and cephalothin); picoline, U.S. Patent 3,553,203; hydantoin3 U.S. Patent 3,227,712; and various other nitrogen contain- ~;
ing heterocycles including pyrrolidine and nicotinic acid, ' U.S. Patent 3,308,120.
In each instance the heterocyclic moity is attached ~o a side chain, generally that of an acetyl radical, via one of the ring carbon atoms. The present invention is concerned with 4-oxo-1-pyridinyl derivatives which are linked directly to the acetyl radical through the hetero atom. Examples known to applicants contain7ng this type of linkage, and in this regard representing the closest prior art, are the tetrazole ring in U.S. Patent 3,516,997 (cefazolin) and certain quinazolinyl derivatives of peni-cillanic acid, U.S. Patent :3,652,547.

~IL066269 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

All of the compounds of the present invention contain a 4-oxo-1-pyridinyl radical or a 4-pyridone moiety at the terminal position of the acetylamino side chain, as indi-cated in general Formula (I) above. In the case of the ~-penicillin series, the acetylamino side chain is enumerated as the 6-position, whereas in the cephalosporin series of compounds the 7-position is enumerated. The numbering system for these two series of compounds is illustrated for 10 , the intermediates 6-aminopenicillanic acid (IV) and 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (V) below:

NH2 ~ S~ ~C NH2 ~ S
/~_NL__~ H3 ~ N ~ CH20C-CH3 O ( ;OOH
COOH
(IV) (V) The 4-pyridone moiety attached to the acetylamino side chain may be substituted or unsubstituted. These substituents are present in either the 2-, 3-, 5- or 6-positions of the pyridine nucleus and include the following radicals: halogen~, hydroxyl, lower alkyl, tri-fluoromethyl, nitro, amino, cyano, carboxyl and the methyl and ethyl esters of the carboxyl radical. The term halogen includes the fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo radicals. The term lower alkyl as used herein includes both straight and branched chair, aliphatic M-78~-1 - ~066Z6~

hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to ~ carbon atoms.
Specifically included are such members as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, bu~yl, isobutyl, and the t-butyl radicals.
In addition to the various substituents described ; ;
above, the 4-pyridone moiety can be considered as substi-tuted with an adjacent saturated or unsaturated six-membered ring. Thus, the symbol R1 when taken in combina-tion with the adjacent symbol R2 can be viewed as forming an attached 6-membered alicyclic or aromatic derivative at -the 2J3-position of the pyridine ring. These derivatives ~ -are more properly termed 2-[substituted(4-oxo-1-tetrahydro-quinolinyl)]acetylamino and 2-[substituted(4-oxo-1-quinolinyl)]acetylamino derivatives of penicillins and ~;
cephalosporins. Due to the symmetry of the pyridine molecule only one pair of adjacent symbols need be so defined. The present invention is not intended to include ; the tricyclic heterocyclic dibenzo-pyridine or acridine ; ring systems.
In addition to the mandatory substitution of the 2-methyl group of the acetylamino or acetamido portion of the molecule with 4-oxo-1-pyridinyl radical, the 2-methyl group may contain additional substitution in the form of a methyl radical or a carboxyl radical as represented by the symbol R5. When R5 is methyl, the compounds are more properly termed as propionyl derivatives of 6-aminopeni-cillanic acid or of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid. However, -for the sake of uniformity in nomenclature, they are termed as 2-(substituted)acetylamino derivat7ves herein.

' . . ... , " , " . ~ ........... . .......... . ... . .... ..
.

~ M-781-1 ~0~269 Thus, for example, in the case of a cephalosporanic acid derivative in which R5 is methyl and the 4-pyridone remains unsubstituted, the compound is designated as 7-[2-(4-oxo-1-pyridyl)-2-methylacetylamino]cephalosporanic acid. In addition to the carboxyl radical at R5 the methyl and ethyl esters or carbomethoxy and carbethoxy radicals are also contemplated to be within the scope of the present inventionO
This invention is essentially concerned with the pre-paration and description of 2-(4-oxo-1-pyridinyl)ace-tyl-amino side-chain derivatives of the ~-lactam antibiotics.
These derivatives are prepared by condensation with the readily available 6-amino penicillanic acid or any of the available 7-aminocephalosporin intermediates. Thus, where R6 is the radical ~ C/cH3 , `, / I ~CH3 ~-- CH
COOR

derivatives of the penicillin series are delineated, whereas when R6 is the radical ;
CH

~C-CH2X
-f derivatives of the cephalosporin series are described.
The ~-lactam nucleus can remain unsubstituted or it can be substituted with a methoxy substutuent as indicated by the symbol R8. Such substitution occurs at the 6-M-781-1 ;~

~6~z69 ' ~. .

position of the penicillin series and at the 7-position of the cephalosporin series of compoundsO -Both the 3-position oF the penicillin and the 2- -~
position of the cephalosporin series of compounds are substituted by a carboxylic acid or a carboxylic acid ester as represented by the partial structure -COOR7. When R
is hydrogen, the corresponding penicillanic acids or cephalosporanic acids are obtained. Additionally, the symbol R7 can represent the following radicals: alkanoyloxy- ; ~ -methyl, alkanoylaminomethyl, alkoxycarbonylaminomethyl and p-(alkanoyloxy)benzyl. These esters confer excellent properties of absorption upon the molecule and at the same time are physiologically labile. Thus, these esters are readily absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract and `
enzymatically hydrolyzed to the corresponding penicillanic ;
or cephalosporanic acids thereby, providing excellent oral activity.
Certain specific variations within the cephalosporin series are further indicated by the symbol X. Thus~
where X is hydrogen the desacetoxycephalosporanic acids are delineated; and where the symbol X is hydroxyl, the desacetylcephalosporanic acids are indicated. Where the symbol X represents an acetoxy radical the ~-lactam nucleus is that of cephalosporanic acid. Additional substituents at the 3-position of decephalosporanic acid which are included within the purview of the present invention and represented by the symbol X are the 3-pyridinium, the 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylthio and the 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-ylthio radicals.

The temperature of the coupling reaction can vary from -20C. to 100C. with the preferred temperature at room temperature or slightly below room temperature. The reaction time can vary any-where from 15 minutes to as long as 36 hours, depending, oF course, upon the temperature of the reaction mixture and the reactivity of the particular reactants employed. --Preferably a period of from 1 to 8 hours is employed.
Following the condensation reaction, the reaction products are isolated and recovered using conventional extraction and crystallization procedures which are well known to those skilled in the art. `
In order to provide a suitable driving force for the coupling reaction a coupling agent is employed. One type of coupling agent acts essentially as a dehydration agent, promoting the acylation and removing the water formed dur-ing the reaction. Such dehydrative coupling agents or dehydration agents, as termed hereinj include the compounds: ;
dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, N-cyclohexyl-N-morpholino-methylcarbodiimide, pentamethylketone-N-cyclohexylimine, N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium-3-sulfonate and phosphorous trichloride. The compound dicyclohexylcarbodiimide represents a preferred dehydration agent particularly in the preparation of the cephalosporin series of compounds.
A second class of coupling agents can be viewed as interacting with the various 4-oxo-1-pyridinyl acetic acids employed in such a manner as to activate the carbonyl radical of the acetic acid portion of the molecule, .

. . .. . .

~066;~69 thereby forming a reactive intermediate. This reactive intermediate, in turn, acylates the amino-~-lactarn. Thus~
the corresponding acid halides, acid azides~ mixed acid anhydrides with alkylphosphoric acid or alkylcarbonic acid, acid amides with imidazole or a 4-substituted imidazole, acid cyanomethyl esters and acid p-nitrophenyl esters are all suitable reactive equivalents which may be successfully employed.
The preparation of a reactive intermediate represents a preferred process for the preparation of the compounds of this invention, and in particular, for the preparation of the cephalosporin derivatives herein described. Suitable coupling agen-ts include carbonyldiimidazole~ alkylchloro-formate in which the alkyl group has from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, thionyl chloride, chloroacetonitrile, and bis-p-nitrophenyl carbonate. The preferred coupling agent is carbonyldiimidazole which, in general, is added to a solution of the 4-oxo-1-pyridinylacetic acid at a tempera- ;
ture below room -temperature. The reaction mixture is per- -mitted to reach room temperature and the reaction mixture .
~ subjected to reduced pressure in order to remove the ;~

carbon dioxide evolved during the formation of the imidazolide. The solution containing the reactive imid-azolide intermediate is again chilled and now coupled with the appropriate ~actam. Coupling is generally conducted at a temperature of from 0C. to 150C, for a period of 1-12 hours, whereupon the desired product is recovered using isolation techniques which are well known to those skilled in the art.

As an alternative to the direct coupling of the amino-~-lactam acid, the appropriate 6-aminopenicillanic acid or 7-aminocephalosporanic acid can be coupled as a neutral salt or in the form of an ester. Suitable salts include the trialkylammonium salts wherein the alkyl group has -from 1 to 5 carbon atoms. Illustrative of such salts are those formed with trimethylamine or triethylamine. Esters represented by Formula (111) above are those in which the Free carboxyl group of the amino-~-lactam has been ~ suitabl~ esterified. In those cases in which the ester ..
group is subsequently removed in order to obtain the free acid, a preference is shown for those ester groups which ~
are readily removed. ~ -Both the silyl and stannyl esters are among those esters readily converted to the corresponding free acid under relatively mild conditions. Thus, for example, the esterS may be subjected to hydrolysisJ solvolys is or a nucleophilic exchange, without alteration of the remaining portion of the molecule. Suitable silylating agents include the alkyldisilazanes, as for example, tetramethyl-disilazane and hexamethyldisilazane, or bis-trimethylsilyl-acetamide Suitable stannylating agents include, for example, a bis-(tri-lower alkyl-tin)oxide such as b7s-(tri-n-butyl-tin)oxide; a tri-lower alkyl-tin-hydroxide such as triethyl-tin-hydroxide; a tri-lower alkoxy tin compound such as triethoxy-tin-hydroxide; and a tri-lower alkyl-tin-halide such as tri-n-butyl-tin-chloride. The resulting silylated or stannylated carboxyl group can be regenerated to the desired free carboxylic acid by treat-ment with a neutral hydrogen-donating agent. Water or a ;
