The carboxyl-protecting group R8 is intended to include readily removable ester groups which have been conventionally employed to block a carboxyl group during the reaction steps used to prepare compounds I and which can be removed by methods which do not result in any appreciable destruction of the remaining portion of the molecule, e.g. by chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis, treatment with chemical reducing agents under mild conditions, irradiation with ultraviolet light or catalytic hydrogenation, etc. Examples of such protecting groups include benzhydryl, p-nitrobenzyl, 2-naphthylmethyl, allyl, benzyl, p- methoxybenzyl, trichloroethyl, silyl such as trimethylsilyl, phenacyl, acetonyl, o- nitrobenzyl, 4-pyridylrnethyl and (C,-C6)alkyl such as methyl, ethyl or t-butyl. Included within such protecting groups are those which are hydrolyzed under physiological conditions such as pivaloyloxymethyl, acetoxymethyl, phthalidyl,
indanyl, α-acetoxyethyl, α-pivaloyloxyethyl, and methoxy methyl. Compounds of
formula I with such physiologically hydrolyzable carboxyl protecting groups are also referred to herein and in the claims as "prodrugs". Compounds of formula I where R8 is a physiologically removable protecting group are useful directly as antibacterial agents. Compounds where an R8 protecting group is not physiologically removable are useful intermediates which can be easily converted to the active form by conventional deblocking procedures well-known to those skilled in the art.
Compounds of formula I wherein a hydroxyl substituent is esterified with a group hydrolyzable under physiological conditions are also included within the scope of the term "prodrug" as used herein and in the claims. Such hydroxyl protecting groups may be employed, for example, to increase the solubility of the formula I compound. Illustrative of suitable ester "prodrugs" of this type are compounds of formula I wherein one or more hydroxy substituent groups are converted to sulfate (-OS03H) or phosphate (-OP03H2) groups.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises compounds of formula I wherein R1 is

To elaborate on the above process, thiol VII is converted into the arylthioacetic acid derivative VI by treatment with bromoacetic acid under basic conditions (e.g. aqueous sodium or potassium hydroxide). The reaction temperature for this step is typically between 20 °C and 100 °C. Starting thiol YJI is commercially available or can be prepared according to known literature procedures. Following acidification of the reaction mixture, the product VI is typically isolated by crystallization or, if necessary, it can be purified by chromatography.
Arylthioacetic acid VI is then coupled with a suitable cephem intermediate having a 3-substituent leaving group. For example, the leaving group may be acetoxy or halo. In the preferred embodiment illustrated by the reaction scheme, the cephem intermediate is the 3-chloro cephem V, but other suitable cephem intermediates with equivalent leaving groups at the 3-position could also be employed. The cephem intermediate V may be acylated with VJ or a reactive derivative thereof by conventional acylation procedures well-known in the cephalosporin art to give N-acylated intermediate IV. In addition to using the free arylthioacetic acid, e.g. with a suitable condensing agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, acylating agent VI may also be employed in the form of equivalent acylating derivatives such as an acid anhydride, mixed anhydride, activated ester, or acid halide. The cephem intermediate preferably has the carboxyl group protected by a conventional carboxyl-protecting group which can be readily removed. Examples of such protecting groups are discussed above and include benzyl, 4-nitrobenzyl, 4-methoxybenzyl, diphenylmethyl, allyl, and the like. Other examples of suitable protecting groups are disclosed in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis. Theodora W. Greene (John Wiley & Sons, 1981), Chapter 5. In one embodiment, intermediate V may be acylated with acid Yl in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or dichloromethane. The reaction temperature is typically between -20 °C and 50 °C. Upon completion of the reaction, insoluble material is removed by filtration, the filtrate is concentrated, and the residue is treated with a relatively non-polar solvent such as diethyl ether or ethyl acetate resulting in precipitation of the desired product. Alternatively, acid VJ may be converted to the corresponding acid chloride, for example by treatment with thionyl chloride with or without a solvent such as dichloromethane, followed by coupling with cephem amine V in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or N- methylmorpholine to give intermediate IV. Cephem IV is typically isolated after aqueous work-up and evaporation of volatile solvents followed by trituration of the compound with a relatively non-polar solvent such as diethyl ether or ethyl acetate. This intermediate may be used in the next reaction step as the X = chloride derivative, or can be converted to the X = bromide or X = iodide derivative by treatment with the appropriate metal halide in a solvent such as acetone.
Conversion of cephem IV to the target quaternary cephems I is accomplished by two different methods. One method for preparation of I entails displacement of an appropriate 3-substituent leaving group with 4- mercaptopyridine followed by quaternization of the pyridyl nitrogen, and then deprotection of the cephem carboxylate ester. For example, cephem IY (X = Cl) is treated with optionally substituted 4-mercaptopyridine and sodium iodide in a one-pot reaction to give intermediate fl. Reaction of thiopyridyl derivative H with a reactive alkylating agent provides the quaternary cephem intermediate T. Examples of alkylating agents are α-halocarbonyl derivatives such as N- substituted haloacetamides. The alkylation reaction is carried out in an inert solvent such as acetone, dimethylformamide, or tetrahydrofuran and is run at temperatures between -20 °C and 100 °C Removal of the cephem carboxylate ester protecting group to give I is then accomplished under acidic conditions. For example, when R is diphenylmethyl or 4-methoxybenzyl, I is obtained upon treatment of i_ with trifluoroacetic acid neat or in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride. A reagent such as anisole may also be employed to scavenge the liberated ester protecting group. The reaction temperature is usually at or below room temperature. The deprotection may also be carried out by treatment with other protic acids such as hydrochloric acid in a solvent such as methanol. The final product is typically isolated by precipitation or crystallization. In some cases, cephem I is purified by column chromatography, for example on reversed- phase adsorbent.
In a second method of preparing quaternary cephems I, intermediate IY is deprotected under acidic conditions, followed by reaction of the resulting intermediate IV with a thiopyridone derivative ffl. For example, when R is diphenylmethyl or 4-methoxybenzyl, cephem acid IV is obtained upon treatment of IY with trifluoroacetic acid neat or in an inert solvent such as methylene chloride. A reagent such as anisole may also be employed to scavenge the liberated ester protecting group. The reaction temperature is usually at or below room temperature. The deprotection may also be carried out by treatment with other protic acids such as hydrochloric acid in a solvent such as methanol. The final product is typically isolated by precipitation or crystallization. Reaction of IV with a thiopyridone derivative III in a solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethanol, methanol, or other appropriate solvents at a temperature between -20 °C and 100 °C affords target quaternary cephem I. The final product is isolated as described above.
Thiopyridones fll are typically prepared according to a method analogous to that described in T. Takahashi et al., European Patent Application No. 209751 and in I.E. El-Kholy et al., J. Heterocyclic Chem. Vol. 11, p. 487 (1974). This procedure entails reaction of 4-thiopyrone (European Patent No. 209751) with an appropriate primary amine in a solvent such as aqueous methanol or ethanol at a temperature ranging between 0 °C and 78 ° C. The primary amine may be in the form of a zwitterion in examples where there is a free acid group present in the molecule. In these cases, a base such as sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, or pyridine is added to form the free amine in situ. The product may be isolated as its sodium salt by evaporation of volatile solvents, followed by trituration with a solvent such as diethyl ether or ethyl acetate. Alternatively, the reaction mixture may be acidified and extracted with an organic solvent to afford the product as the free carboxylic acid. If the carboxylate group is protected as an ester, the amine may be free or present as an acid salt. In the latter case, a base such as sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, or pyridine is added to form the free amine in situ. The product is typically isolated by precipitation or by reverse phase column chromatography following removal of volatile solvents.
The thiopyridone derivatives of formula III are another aspect of the present invention. The preferred R1, R2, R3, R9 and R10 substituents of derivatives III are as disclosed above in connection with the end-products of formula I.
It will be understood that where the substituent groups used in the above
reactions contain certain reaction-sensitive functional groups such as carboxylate groups which might result in undesirable side-reactions, such groups may be protected by conventional protecting groups known to those skilled in the art. Suitable protecting groups and methods for their removal are illustrated, for example, in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis. Theodora W. Greene (John Wiley & Sons, 1991). It is intended that such "protected" intermediates and end- products are included within the scope of the present disclosure and claims.
The desired end-product of formula I may be recovered either as the zwitterion or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt, e.g. by addition of the appropriate acid such as HCl, HI or methanesulfonic acid to the
zwitterion. Compounds of formula I where Rβ is hydrogen, an anionic charge or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may be converted by conventional
procedures to a corresponding compound where R^ is a physiologically hydrolyzable ester group.
It will be appreciated that certain products within the scope of formula I may have a C-3 substituent group which can result in formation of optical isomers. It is intended that the present invention include within its scope all such optical isomers as well as epimeric mixtures thereof, i.e. R- or S- or racemic forms.
The novel cephalosporin derivatives of general formula I (including the
IA compounds) wherein R^ is hydrogen, an anionic charge or a physiologically hydrolyzable carboxyl-protecting group, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, are potent antibiotics active against many gram-positive bacteria. While they may be used, for example, as animal feed additives for promotion of growth, as preservatives for food, as bactericides in industrial applications, for example in waterbased paint and in the white water of paper
mills to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, and as disinfectants for destroying or inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria on medical and dental equipment, they are especially useful in the treatment of infectious disease in humans and other animals caused by the gram-positive bacteria sensitive to the new derivatives. Because of their excellent activity against MRSA organisms, they are particularly useful in the treatment of infections resulting from such bacteria.
The pharmaceutically active compounds of this invention may be used alone or formulated as pharmaceutical compositions comprising, in addition to the active cephem ingredient, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. The compounds may be administered by a variety of means, for example, orally, topically or parenterally (intravenous or intramuscular injection). The pharmaceutical compositions may be in solid form such as capsules, tablets, powders, etc. or in liquid form such as solutions, suspensions or emulsions. Compositions for injection, the preferred route of delivery, may be prepared in unit dose form in ampules or in multidose containers and may contain additives such as suspending, stabilizing and dispersing agents. The compositions may be in ready-to-use form or in powder form for reconstitution at the time of delivery with a suitable vehicle such as sterile water.
The dosage to be administered depends, to a large extent, on the particular compound being used, the particular composition formulated, the route of administration, the nature and condition of the host and the particular situs and organism being treated. Selection of the particular preferred dosage and route of application, then, is left to the discretion of the physician or veterinarian. In general, however, the compounds may be administered parenterally or orally to mammalian hosts in an amount of from about 50 mg/day to about 20 g/day. Administration is generally carried out in divided doses, e.g., three to four times a day, analogous to dosing with a cephalosporin such as cefotaxime.
IN VITRO ACTIVITY
Samples of the compounds prepared below in Examples 1 - 72 after solution in water and dilution with Nutrient Broth were found to exhibit the following ranges of Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) versus the indicated microorganisms as determined by tube dilution. The MICs were determined using a broth micro dilution assay in accordance with that recommended by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). Mueller-Hinton medium was used except for Streptococci which was tested in Todd Hewitt broth. The final bacterial inoculate contained
approximately 5 x 10^ cfu/ml and the plates were incubated at 35°C for 18 hours
in ambient air (Streptococci in 5% CO2). The MIC was defined as the lowest drug
concentration that prevented visible growth.

IN VIVO ACTIVITY
The in vivo therapeutic efficacy of the compounds prepared in Examples 1 - 72 below after intramuscular injection to mice experimentally infected with the representative MRSA strain A27223 was also measured.
The determination of the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents in Staphylococcus aureus systemic infection in mice Organisms: The test organism, MRSA strain A27223 used to generate systemic infection in mice, is grown on two large Brain Heart Infusion Agar plates. On each plate, 0.5 ml of frozen stock culture is plated out. Plates are then incubated
for 18 hours at 30°C. The next day each plate is washed with 20 ml of Brain Heart
Infusion Broth and then pooled together. A microscopic direct count of microorganism is done using a 1:1000 dilution of plate wash. After a direct count is obtained, the number of organisms per milliliter is calculated. The count is adjusted to the desired amount of inoculum by diluting in 4% hog mucin. The
desired challenge (amount of organisms given to mice) is 2.4 x 10^ cfu/0.5 ml /mouse for MRSA strain A27223. The mice are infected intraperitoneally with 0.5 ml of challenge. Ten non-treated infected mice are used as controls.
Mice: Mice used are male ICR mice. The average weight of the animals is from 20 to 26 grams.
Drug preparation and treatment: Compounds are tested at 4 dose levels, (25, 6.25, 1.56, and 0.39 mg/kg) and prepared in 5% cremophor, unless otherwise specified. Vancomycin is used as the control compound, and is dosed at 6.25, 1.56, 0.39, and 0.098 mg/kg. It is prepared in 0.1M phosphate buffer. There are five infected mice per dose level, and they are treated with 0.2 ml of the test compound, preferably by intramuscular injection. Treatment begins 15 minutes and 2 hours
post-infection. Test duration: A PD50 (the dose of drug given which protects 50% of mice from
mortality) runs for 5 days. During this time, mortality of mice are checked every day and deaths are recorded. The cumulative mortality at each dose level is used to calculate a PD50 value for each compound. Surviving mice are sacrificed at
the end of day 5 by CO2 inhalation.
Calculation: Actual calculation of PD50 is performed with a computer program
using the Spearman-Karber procedure.
Results: The in vivo efficacy, expressed as the PD50 value, ranged from about 0.8
to 22 mg/kg (for certain compounds, more than one test was carried out; the indicated range is for at least one test result when multiple tests were done).
