ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

N-Substituted derivatives of aminoglycosides are prepared by (a) complexing an aminoglycoside with divalent metal ion selected from the group consisting of the cations of Fe, CO, Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag and Pt to form a protected species having at least one amino group bound as a metal ion chelate and at least one unbound amino group, (b) reacting the protected species with an N-acylating reagent selected from the group consisting of carboxylic and sulfonic acid anhydrides, halides and active esters to acylate at least one unbound amino group, and (c) removing the amino-protecting chelate groups. Among the aminoglycosides useful are kanamycin A, kanamycin B, kanamycin C, sisomicin, gentamicin B, tobramycin, ribostamycin, butirosin A, butirosin B, neomycin B, paromomycin I, lividomycin A and lividomycin B. The N-substituted derivatives possess utility as antibiotics or as intermediates in the preparation of aminoglycoside antibiotics.

Description

~2717~4 The present invention relates to the preparation of N-substituted derivatives of aminoglycosides which are useful as antibiotics or as intermediates in the preparation of amino-glycoside antibiotics.
Microorganisms are known to frecluently acquire resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics by a mechanism known in the art as "R~Factors". Very generally an r'R~Factor" is the extrachromosomal genetic capability of biochemically modifying the antibiotics in such a way as to interfere with its antîbacterial action, thereby enabling the organism to grow, The phenomenon of bacterial resistance to amino-glycoside antibiotics has fostered many new developments in the area of semi-synthesis and chemical modification leading to second and third generation aminoglycosides, The latter class comprise .
N-acylated and N-alkylated analogs that exhi~it much broader antibacterial activities than the parent antibiotics~ Improved methods for the selective N~acylation of aminoglycosides are in demand as current procedures are confined mostly to the more accessible sites, or are based on relative basicities, . In a broad aspect the present invention provides a method for the preparati.on of N-substituted derivatives of amino-glycosides which comprises the steps of (a) complexing an am:Lno-glycoside with divalent metal ion ~e1.ected .E~om t~le ~,roup con~q1st:irlg of the cations of F~, Co, Ni., Cu, Pd, Ag and Pt to form a prot:ected species having at least one amino group bound as a meta~ ion chelate and at least one unbound amino gro~lp, (b) reacting the protected species with an N--acylati.rlg reagent selected from the group con-sl~ti.ng of carboxylic and sulfollic acid anhydrides, halides and active esters to acylate at least one unbound amino group, and '~ ' i 1/ -1-~ 71744 (c) removing the amino-protecting chelate groups.
Included among the aminoglycosides useful in the invention are kanamycin A, kanamycin B, kanamycin C, sisomicin, gentamicin B, tobramycin, ribostamycin, butirosin A, butirosin B, neomycin B, paromomycin I~ lividomycin A and lividomycin B.
Broadly speaking, suitable acylating reagents include the anhydrides, halides and active esters of carboxylic and sulfonic acids, The term halide is taken to include azide in view of the pseudo-halide reactivity of the anion _ N3.
Suitable carboxylic acid anhydrides, halides and active esters include those of the formulae (R-CO) 2; R-COX and R-COORl wherein R is r~ _ N ~ ; - N ~ ; ~no ~ Q 2 O O

Derivative 2, i,e. 6'~N-benzyloxycarbonyl kanamycin A, is a particularly important species in that it is a key inter-mediate in the preparation of the antibiotic amikacin which is taught in Kawaguchi et al U,S, Patent No. 3,781,268 issued December 25, 1973.

is provided by the 3" amino group and the vicinal 2" h~dre:c~
group and that complexing wil:L undo~lbtedly occllr at both sites.
Kanamyc:l.n A has, as menti.oned previously, been used as an exemplary am:inoglycoside both because of its ready availability and the clinical importance of a number of its jl/ _5~

~X~7:1~44 derivatives. It should however be understood that the simple, selective N-acylation afforded by the present invention as a consequence of temporarily protecting certain amino groups as divalent metal ion chelates is applicable to a broad range of aminoglycosides.
The primary chelation site(s) vary dependent on the aminoglycoside, or the type of aminoglycoside, employed.
n the case o~ tobramycin, an aminoglycoside o pseudo trisaccharide of the kanamycin type, the primary chelation sitets) are the same as in kanamycin A, i.e.
the complexing will involve the 3~ amino group with either the 2" or 4~ hydroxyl group.
In the case of pseudotrisaccharides in the 4,5-disubstituted 2-deoxystreptamine series, for example ribostamycin or its 6'-oH analog, butirosin A and butirosin s, the primary chelation sites involve the C-2'/C-3' and C-l/C-6 substituents.
pseudotetrasaccharides of the neomycin type, for example neomycin B and paromomycin I, primarily chelate at the C-2'/C-3' substituents, although chelation is also prevalent in the D ring. The primary chelation site of lividomycin A, another pseudotetrasaccharide of the neomycin type, is at the vicinal amino hydroxyl groups of the D ring.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art, chelation should be carried out with appropriate divalent cation/ligand concentrations. In general a low divalent cation/ligand ratio is preferable to avoid undue complexing of functions which are to be N-acylated. stated differently, selectivity i9 relative to availability, such that chelation will occur at secondary or tertiary etc., sites when the primary sites are chelated.

lX7174~

As stated previously, divalent cations of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag and Pt are suitable for complexing with the amino-glycoside to form the protected species which is subsequently N-acylated. The preferred cation is Cu+ , for reasons including availability and cost, although it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that other divalent cations can be used in the invention with equal efficacy.
The diva]ent cations are provided by dissolution of suitable metal salts in a solvent which already contains an aminoglycoside or which may be combined with an aminoglycoside containing solution or to which may be added an amount of an aminoglycoside.
Particularly preferred salts include CuS04.5H20;
Cu(CH3COO) 2 ,H20; Cu(NO3~2 and CuC12.
Deprotection of the aminoglycosides, that is removal of the protective chelate following selective N-acylation~
can be con~eniently accomplished, in the case of product recovery by column chromatography, by utilizing a basic eluent such that deprotection and product recovery are effected in a single step.
The cations removed from the aminoglycoside tend to adsorb at the top of the column. Other procedures for chelate removal will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
