- the alkylation step is carried out in a suitable solvent that includes methyl-t-butyl ether.
- suitable solvent that includes methyl-t-butyl ether.
- exemplary and preferred solvents are polar aprotic solvents such as N, N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphoric triamide, tetrahydrofuran, 1 ,2-dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile or ethyl acetate, or a mixture of such polar aprotic solvents maintained at a reaction temperature and for a period of time sufficient to effect alkylation, preferably from -15°C to room temperature for a period of 1 to 8 hours.
- 6-O-alkyl erythromycin C proceeds by removing the O-protecting groups from the 2'- and 4"-positions and the ketal group from the 9-oximeketal and then deoximating the 9- oxime.
- Means for removing the O-protecting groups at the 2'- and 4"-positions are well known in the art and depend upon the nature of the protecting group.
- the acetyl group can be removed by reacting the acetylated derivative with a compound of the formula R 5 OH, where R 5 is alkyl (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl and the like).
- R 5 is alkyl (e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl and the like).
- the reaction can take place in the absence or presence of an acid (e.g., formic acid, acetic acid) or water, or can take place in the absence or presence of a base (e.g., KC0 3 , NaC0 3 , KHC0 3 , NaHC0 3 ).
- ketal group from the 9-oximeketal is accomplished using acidification.
- a final step in the preparation of a 6-O-alkyl erythromycin C is deoximation.
- Deoximation is carried out in accordance with standard procedures well known in the art (See e.g., U.S. Patent No. 4,672,109). Briefly, 9-oxime erythromycin C is reacted with sodium hydrogen sulfite in alcohol (e.g., ethanol) and refluxed. The solution is cooled, alkalinized and precipitated with aqueous alkali metal bicarbonate. The precipitate formed in the above reaction is collected by filtration, washed and recrystallized with alcohol.
- alcohol e.g., ethanol
- erythromycin C (Compound 1) is reacted with hydroxylamine in the presence of formic acid and methanol to form 9-oxime erythromycin C (Compound 2).
- Compound 2 is then reacted with a ketalizing reagent followed by reaction with pyridine hydrochloride and acetic anhydride in acetonitrile to form 2', 4"-diacetyl-9-oximeketal erythromycin C (Compound 3).
- Methylation of the 6-OH group is then carried out by reacting Compound 3 with a methylating agent (methyl bromide) and potassium hydroxide in an appropriate solvent [dimethylsulfoxide
- DMSO methyl-9-oximeketal erythromycin C
- THF tetrahydrofuran
- the ketal group at the 9-position is removed by reacting Compound 4 with formic acid.
- the resulting 9-oxime is deoximated with sodium metabisulfide.
- the acetyl groups at the 2'- and 4"-positions are removed by reaction with ethyl alcohol, water, methanol (MeOH) and potassium carbonate (K 2 C0 3 ) to yield 6-O-methyl erythromycin C (Compound 5).
- the present invention also provides 9-oxime derivatives of erythromycin C, which derivatives are intermediates in the synthesis of a 6-O-alkyl erythromycin C.
- a 9-oxime derivative of the present invention is alkylated at the 6-position and unsubstituted (i.e., 2'-OH, 4"-OH, 3'-dimethyl) or substituted at the 2', 4" or 3'-positions with a conventional protecting group as set forth above.
- a 9-oxime erythromycin C derivative of the present invention corresponds to the structure I below:
- R is hydrogen, ketal or silyl
- R 6 is hydrogen or alkyl
- R 7 and R 8 are each independently hydrogen or a conventional O-protecting group
- R 9 is -NR 10 CH 3 , where R 10 is methyl (CH 3 ) or a conventional N-protecting group or -N + (CH 3 ) 2 R 11 X, where R 11 is 2- alkenyl, benzyl or substituted benzyl, and X is a halogen such as Br, Cl or I.
- the compound of structure I is shown without spatial bond orientation. Structure I, thus, defines all combinations of bond orientation and is intended to cover all possible stereo- configurations (e.g., epimers).
- the bond orientations of Structure I are the same as shown above for 6-0- methyl erythromycin C.
- 9-oxime erythromycin C is unsubstituted (unprotected) at the 2'-, 3' and 4"-positions. Ketalation of such a derivative results in formation of a 9-oximeketal derivative of structure I, where R 7 and R 8 are both hydrogen and R 6 is methyl.
- 9-oxime erythromycin C used in the synthetic process has conventional O-protecting groups at the 2'- and/or 4"- positions.
- Conventional O-protecting groups for protecting hydroxyls from alkylation are well known in the art and include silyl, acyl, lower alkenyl monocarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylcarbonyl, lower alkoxycarbonylalkylcarbonyl, and arylcarbonyl groups.
- Erthromycin C 15.38 g (21.4 m mole) was dissolved in 150 mL methanol, and 46.6 g 50% w/w hydroxylamine and 14.5 g formic acid (88%) were added at room temperature; the temperature rose to 36 5 C and external heating was started. The solution was refluxed for 16 hours and then cooled to ambient temperature. The volume of the solution was reduced to half under vacuum distillation and 200 mL ethyl acetate was added to extract the product. After the layers were separated, the lower aqueous layer was re-extracted once more with 200 mL ethyl acetate. The two ethyl acetate layers were combined and washed with 50 mL water. The organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate, and the solids were removed by filtration, providing a clear solution, which was stripped on Rotavap to give 15.06 g of the title compound.
- Example 2 The product from Example 2 was dissolved in 20 mL pyridine into which 2 mL acetic anhyride was added. The mixture was stirred for 26 hours and quenched with 100 mL ether and 50 g ice. Then, 20 mL of 2N sodium hydroxide and 10 g of sodium chloride were added. The layers were separated and the upper organic layer was washed with 15 mL saturated salt solution. The organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate and the solids were removed by filtration. The solvent was distilled under vacuum and the residual oil chased three ties with 15 mL toluene each time; 2.0 g of the title product was obtained.
- Example 4 was accomplished by acid hydrolysis of the ketal functionality followed by sodium bisulfite treatment.
- 1.2 g of the product from Example 4 was dissolved in 60 mL 3A alcohol and 60 mL water with 0.31 g formic acid (88%).
- the solution was heated to 60- 65°C for two hours. 3.0 grams of sodium bisulfite was added and the mixture stirred for 2 hours.
- the solution was cooled to room temperature and the volume reduced to half under vacuum distillation. Methylene chloride (100 mL) was used to extract the product. After removal of the solvent, 0. 82 g of 2'-acetyl erythromycin C was obtained.
- 6-O-Methyl erythromycin C prepared in accordance with Examples 1 -5 was assayed in vitro for antibacterial activity as follows: Twelve petri dishes containing successive aqueous dilutions of the test compound mixed with 10mL of sterilized Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) agar (Difco 0418-01-5) were prepared. Each plate was inoculated with 1 :100 (or 1 :10 for slow-growing strains, such as Micrococcus and Streptococcus) dilutions of up to 32 different micoorganisms, using a Steers replicatore block. The inoculated plates were incubated at 35- 37° for 20 to 24 hours. In addition, a control plate, using BHI agar containing no test compound, was prepared and incubated at the beginning and end of each test.
- BHI Brain Heart Infusion
- An additional plate containing a compound having known susceptibility patterns for the organisms being tested and belonging to the same antibiotic clas as the test compound was also prepared and incubated as further control, as well as to provide test-to-test comparability.
