Definitions
- the invention relates to complexes of ⁇ - lactam antibiotics chosen from the group comprising cephradine and cefaclor, and 1-naphthol.
- ⁇ - lactam antibiotics chosen from the group comprising cephradine and cefaclor, and 1-naphthol.
- 1-naphthol 1-naphthol.
- Complexes of ⁇ -lactam antibiotics and hydroxynaphthalenes are known in general terms from O- A-93/12250, which explicitly describes the complexes of cephalexine and cephadroxyl, and 2-naphthol.
- the complexes according to the invention are in particular useful intermediates, for example in the enzymatic preparation of cephradine and cefaclor, in the recovery of the ⁇ -lactam antibiotics from
- Cephradine is a ⁇ -lactam antibiotic that can be obtained through acylation of 7- aminodesacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA) with D-
- dihydrophenylglycme or a derivative thereof for " ' ⁇ ” example an amide or an alkyl ester, preferably a lower (1-4 C) alkyl ester; cefaclor is a ⁇ -lactam antibiotic that can be obtained through acylation of 7-amino-3- chloro-ceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid with D-phenylglycine or a derivative thereof, preferably a lower (1-4 C) alkyl ester, or an amide.
- the complexes according to the invention can be prepared in a simple manner by bringing the ⁇ - lactam antibiotic into contact with 1-naphthol.
- the molar ratio of the 1-naphthol and the ⁇ -lactam antibiotic is preferably greater than 0.5 and is in particular between 0.5 and 2.
- the concentration of the ⁇ -lactam antibiotic is preferably chosen to be as high as possible, preferably greater than 0.01 wt . % ⁇ -lactam antibiotic in the reaction mixture.
- the temperature applied is not particularly critical and is for example between -10 and 100°C, preferably between -5 and 50°C.
- the pH at which the complexes are formed is not particularly critical either; the residual concentration of the ⁇ -lactam antibiotic in solution to be obtained after complexing with 1-naphthol proves to be virtually independent of the mixture's pH in a wide range of pH values, for example between 1 and 10, in particular 2 and 9, more in particular 3 and 8. That complex formation can consequently be incorporated in a simple manner at various points in a process for the preparation of ⁇ -lactam antibiotics, for example during an enzymatic acylation reaction, in the hydrolysis of protected ⁇ -lactam antibiotics after a chemical acylation reaction in which use is made of protecting groups, in the purification of antibiotics or in the
- ⁇ -lactam antibiotics > isolation of ⁇ -lactam antibiotics from a reaction mixture obtained after the acylation reaction or from the mother liquor.
- a pH value of between 2 and 9, in particular between 4 and 7, is chosen.
- the ⁇ - lactam antibiotic can be recovered from the complex in a manner that is generally known to those skilled in the art .
- a particularly suitable application of the complexes according to the invention is in the enzymatic acylation of a ⁇ -lactam nucleus with an acylating agent, 1-naphthol being present in the reaction mixture during at least part of the acylation reaction.
- acylating agent 1-naphthol being present in the reaction mixture during at least part of the acylation reaction.
- hydrolysis of the acylating agent and the ⁇ -lactam antibiotic usually occurs during an enzymatic acylation reaction.
- the concentration at which the enzymatic acylation reaction is carried out is not particularly critical.
- the concentration of the ⁇ -lactam nucleus and of the acylating agent at the beginning of the acylation reaction is for example between 100 and 2,000 mM, preferably between 400 and 1,000 mM.
- the ⁇ -lactam nucleus and/or the acylating agent are during at least part of the acylation reaction present in the reaction mixture in a supersaturated form. This can for example be realised by subjecting a mixture in which the ⁇ -lactam nucleus and/or the acylating agent are present in a concentrated form to an increase or reduction in pH or to a reduction in temperature.
- any enzyme in principle be used that is suitable for use as a catalyst in the coupling reaction is for example the enzymes known under the general name of penicillin amidase or penicillin acylase.
- Such enzymes are for example described in J.G. Shewale et al . , Process Biochemistry, August 1989, pp. 146-154, and in J.G. Shewale et al., Process
- suitable enzymes are enzymes derived from Acetobacter, in particular Acetobacter pasteurianum. Aeromonas , Alcaligenes, in particular Alcaligenes faecalis, Aphanocladium. Bacillus sp.. in particular Bacillus me ⁇ aterium. Cephalosporium. Escherichia. in particular Escherichia coli. Flavobacterium. Fusarium. in particular Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium solani. Kluyvera, Mycoplana. Protaminobacter , Proteus, in particular Proteus rettgeri. Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas . in particular Xanthomonas citrii.
- an immobilised enzyme Preferably use is made of an immobilised enzyme, because the enzyme can then be separated and reused in a simple manner.
- immobilised enzymes the Escherichia coli enzyme of Boehringer Mannheim GmbH that is commercially available under the name of Enzygel ® , the immobilised Penicillin-G acylase of Recordati and the immobilised Penicillin-G acylase of Pharma Biotechnology Hannover for example have proved to be very suitable.
- Enzymes can also be used as a crystalline substance (CLECsTM) .
- the temperature at which the enzymatic acylation reaction is carried out is not particularly critical and is, on account of the enzyme's stability, usually lower than 40°C, preferably between -5 and 35°C.
- the pH at which the enzymatic acylation reaction is carried out is usually between 5.5 and 9.5, preferably between 6.0 and 9.0.

Abstract
The invention relates to complexes of cephradine and cefaclor and 1-naphthol. It has been found that 1-naphthol shows better complexing behaviour then for example 2-naphthol. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of such complexes, the corresponding ß-lactam antibiotic being prepared through acylation of the corresponding ß-lactam nucleus with a suitable acylating agent and 1-naphthol being present in the reaction mixture during at least part of the acylation reaction. The acylation is preferably carried out in the presence of an enzyme. The ß-lactam antibiotic can subsequently be released from the complex in a known manner.
Description
COMPLEXES OF β-LACTAM ANTIBIOTICS AND 1-NAPHTHOL
The invention relates to complexes of β- lactam antibiotics chosen from the group comprising cephradine and cefaclor, and 1-naphthol. 0 Complexes of β-lactam antibiotics and hydroxynaphthalenes are known in general terms from O- A-93/12250, which explicitly describes the complexes of cephalexine and cephadroxyl, and 2-naphthol.
The applicant has now found that the
15 formation of a complex of cephradine and cefaclor, which β-lactam antibiotics proved to show comparable complexing behaviour, proceeds faster and more completely with 1-naphthol than with 2-naphthol, whereas the opposite holds for other β-lactam
20 antibiotics.
The complexes according to the invention are in particular useful intermediates, for example in the enzymatic preparation of cephradine and cefaclor, in the recovery of the β-lactam antibiotics from
25 reaction mixtures obtained after a chemical or enzymatic acylation reaction and the purification of β- lactam antibiotics. Cephradine is a β-lactam antibiotic that can be obtained through acylation of 7- aminodesacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA) with D-
30 dihydrophenylglycme or a derivative thereof, for " '■" example an amide or an alkyl ester, preferably a lower (1-4 C) alkyl ester; cefaclor is a β-lactam antibiotic that can be obtained through acylation of 7-amino-3- chloro-ceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid with D-phenylglycine
or a derivative thereof, preferably a lower (1-4 C) alkyl ester, or an amide.
The complexes according to the invention can be prepared in a simple manner by bringing the β- lactam antibiotic into contact with 1-naphthol. The molar ratio of the 1-naphthol and the β-lactam antibiotic is preferably greater than 0.5 and is in particular between 0.5 and 2. The concentration of the β-lactam antibiotic is preferably chosen to be as high as possible, preferably greater than 0.01 wt . % β-lactam antibiotic in the reaction mixture. The temperature applied is not particularly critical and is for example between -10 and 100°C, preferably between -5 and 50°C. The pH at which the complexes are formed is not particularly critical either; the residual concentration of the β-lactam antibiotic in solution to be obtained after complexing with 1-naphthol proves to be virtually independent of the mixture's pH in a wide range of pH values, for example between 1 and 10, in particular 2 and 9, more in particular 3 and 8. That complex formation can consequently be incorporated in a simple manner at various points in a process for the preparation of β-lactam antibiotics, for example during an enzymatic acylation reaction, in the hydrolysis of protected β-lactam antibiotics after a chemical acylation reaction in which use is made of protecting groups, in the purification of antibiotics or in the
> isolation of β-lactam antibiotics from a reaction mixture obtained after the acylation reaction or from the mother liquor. Preferably a pH value of between 2 and 9, in particular between 4 and 7, is chosen. The β- lactam antibiotic can be recovered from the complex in
a manner that is generally known to those skilled in the art .
A particularly suitable application of the complexes according to the invention is in the enzymatic acylation of a β-lactam nucleus with an acylating agent, 1-naphthol being present in the reaction mixture during at least part of the acylation reaction. With a kinetically controlled coupling, hydrolysis of the acylating agent and the β-lactam antibiotic usually occurs during an enzymatic acylation reaction. Owing to the presence of 1-naphthol in the reaction mixture, and consequently the formation of the complexes according to the invention, a higher synthesis/hydrolysis ratio (S/H) , the molar ratio of the synthesis product (β-lactam antibiotic) and the hydrolysis product, is obtained and less decomposition of the β-lactam antibiotic occurs as a result of the complexing. In addition, a higher reaction rate was realised, as a result of which the decomposition of the β-lactam antibiotic and the β-lactam nucleus is restricted.
The concentration at which the enzymatic acylation reaction is carried out is not particularly critical. The concentration of the β-lactam nucleus and of the acylating agent at the beginning of the acylation reaction is for example between 100 and 2,000 mM, preferably between 400 and 1,000 mM. Preferably the β-lactam nucleus and/or the acylating agent are during at least part of the acylation reaction present in the reaction mixture in a supersaturated form. This can for example be realised by subjecting a mixture in which the β-lactam nucleus and/or the acylating agent are
present in a concentrated form to an increase or reduction in pH or to a reduction in temperature.
As the enzyme in the acylation reaction any enzyme can in principle be used that is suitable for use as a catalyst in the coupling reaction. Such enzymes are for example the enzymes known under the general name of penicillin amidase or penicillin acylase. Such enzymes are for example described in J.G. Shewale et al . , Process Biochemistry, August 1989, pp. 146-154, and in J.G. Shewale et al., Process
Biochemistry International, June 1990, pp. 97-103. Examples of suitable enzymes are enzymes derived from Acetobacter, in particular Acetobacter pasteurianum. Aeromonas , Alcaligenes, in particular Alcaligenes faecalis, Aphanocladium. Bacillus sp.. in particular Bacillus meσaterium. Cephalosporium. Escherichia. in particular Escherichia coli. Flavobacterium. Fusarium. in particular Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium solani. Kluyvera, Mycoplana. Protaminobacter , Proteus, in particular Proteus rettgeri. Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas . in particular Xanthomonas citrii.
Preferably use is made of an immobilised enzyme, because the enzyme can then be separated and reused in a simple manner. Of the commercially available immobilised enzymes, the Escherichia coli enzyme of Boehringer Mannheim GmbH that is commercially available under the name of Enzygel®, the immobilised Penicillin-G acylase of Recordati and the immobilised Penicillin-G acylase of Pharma Biotechnology Hannover for example have proved to be very suitable. Enzymes can also be used as a crystalline substance (CLECs™) .
The temperature at which the enzymatic acylation reaction is carried out is not particularly critical and is, on account of the enzyme's stability, usually lower than 40°C, preferably between -5 and 35°C. The pH at which the enzymatic acylation reaction is carried out is usually between 5.5 and 9.5, preferably between 6.0 and 9.0.
Preferably the reaction is almost completely stopped as soon as almost the maximum degree of conversion has been reached. A suitable mode of stopping the reaction is lowering the pH, preferably to a value of between 4.0 and 6.3, in particular between 4.5 and 5.7. Another suitable mode is lowering the temperature of the reaction mixture as soon as the maximum degree of conversion has been reached. A combination of the two modes is also possible.
After the reaction has been virtually stopped when the maximum degree of conversion has been reached, the reaction mixture is usually present in the form of a suspension containing several solid substances, for example the antibiotic and D-phenylglycine, while immobilised enzyme may also be present . The immobilised enzyme is preferably recovered, in view of process economics. This can for example be carried out in a suitable manner by filtering the reaction mixture through a sieve, with stirring, the stirrer's direction of rotation preferably being chosen so that the suspension is pumped upwards at the centre of the stirrer. Valuable b components, for example the antibiotic and PG, can subsequently be recovered, for example with the aid of a change in pH.
A reduction in pH can in the context of the invention for example be effected by adding an acid. Suitable acids are for example mineral acids, in particular sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid or nitric acid, and carboxylic acids, for example acetic acid, oxalic acid or citric acid. An increase in pH can for example be effected by adding a base. Suitable bases are for example inorganic bases, in particular ammonia, potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, and organic bases, for example triethylamine and D-phenylglycine amide. Preferably ammonia is used.
The enzymatic acylation reaction and the indicated measures, for example the preparation of the supersaturated mixtures, can be carried out in water. The reaction mixture may optionally also contain an organic solvent or a mixture of organic solvents, preferably less than 30 vol . % . Examples of organic solvents that can be u ed are alcohols with 1-7 C atoms, for example a onoalcohol, in particular methanol or ethanol; a diol, in particular ethylene glycol, or a triol, in particular glycerol .
The molar ratio of the acylating agent and the β-lactam nucleus, i.e. the total amount of acylating agent supplied divided by the total amount of β-lactam nucleus supplied expressed in moles, is smaller than 2.5. Preferably the molar ratio is between 0.5 and 2.0, in particular between 0.7 and 1.8.
The enzymatic apylation reaction is preferably carried out as a batch process. It is optionally also possible to carry out the reaction continuously.
The invention will be further elucidated with reference to the examples without however being limited thereby.
