Description

ESTERS OF CARBAPENEMS 010632
This invention relates to novel antibacterial compounds, processes for theirpréparation, pharmaceutical and veterinary compositions comprising them, and theiruse in antibacterial therapy.
Carbapenems such as imipenem, the corapound of formula (A): HO H h
COjH
(A) hâve a potent, broad spectrum of antibacterial activity (see US 3 950 357 andUS 4 194 047; Merck and Co). Such carbapenems however tend to be vulnérable tohydrolysis by the enzyme rénal dehydropeptidase-1 (DHP-1) and this limits their usein chemotherapy. In the case of imipenem, this problem may be overcome by the co-administration of an inhibitor of DHP-1.
Stability towards DHP-1 may also be imparted by Chemical modification ofthe carbapenem nucléus, for instance by incorporating a Ιβ-methyl substituant, as inthe compound meropenem, the compound of formula (B): HO h h
CQ>H (B) (see Shih D.H. et al., Heterocycles, 1984,21,29 and Sunagawa M. et al., J. Antibiotics, 1990,43,519). More recently, this has been extended to a 1β-aminoalkyl substituent (see EP 0 433 759, Bristol-Meyers Squibb).
An alternative approach to imparting improved stability to DHP-1 utilises 2-carbon'spbstituted carbapenems, for instance, 2-aryl, 2-heteroaiyl and 2-heteroaromatic carbapenems (US 4 543 257, US 4 260 627, US 4 962 101, US 4 978 659, EP 0 14 493, EP 0 414 489, EP 0 010 316 and EP 0 030 032 Merck &Co) and 2-(substituted)methyl carbapenems (Schmidt et al, J.Antibiotics, 41,1988,780). UK Patent 1 593 524, Merck & Co. discloses a number of 5-membered heteroaromatic carbapenem dérivatives including diazolyl and tetrazolyl compounds.
However, in the case of the pyrazolyl dérivatives the heterocyclic compound is attached to the carbapenem nucléus through the C-4 position. 2 010632
Other structural modifications introduced ai position-2 include a substitutedvinyl group -C(Ra)=CHRfc in which, for instance, Ra is hydrogen or methyl and ishydrogen or lower alkyl (EP 0 330 108; Fujisawa) or Ra and R& are selected fromhydrogen, lower alkyl, aminocarbonyl, lower alkoxy, cyano, nitro and loweralkoxycarbonyl (EP 0 430 037, Banyu Pharmaceutical Co.). In the absence of a 1β-methyl substituent, such a modification does not however appear to impart DHP-1stability.
International Patent Application No. PCT/GB94/02347 describes compoundsof the general formula (C):
co2r (C) in which R is:
wherein
Ra is hydrogen, optionally substituted (Cj_g)alkyl or optionally substituted aryl; RP is hydrogen, optionally substituted (C j.glalkyl or optionally substituted aryl; orRa and RP together form an optionally substituted 5 or 6 membered heterocyclic rin, 'g with or without additional heteroatoms;
Rc is (C i_6)alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by fluoro, a hydroxy groupwhich is optionally protected by a readily removable hydroxy protecting group, or byan amino group which is optionally protected by a readily removable aminoprotecting group;
Rd is hydrogen or methyl; and -CO2Re is carboxy or a carboxylate anion or the group Re is a readily removable carboxy protecting group. 3 010632
