B-LAcTAM ANTIBIOTICS
This invention is directed to a novel
family of B-lactam antibiotics, and to the use
of such compounds as antibacterial agents.
It has been discovered that the B-lactam
nucleus can be biologically activated by a
sulfonic acid salt substituent attached to the
nitrogen atom in the nucleus.
B-Lactams having a sulfonic acid, or a salt
chereof, substituent in the l-position and an
acylamino substituent in tne 3-position exhibit
activity against a range of gram-negative and
gram-positive bacteria.
15The preferred members of the novel family
of B-lactam antibiotics of this invention are
those encompassed by the formula
I _2 -4
20Rl-NH-C- -C-R3
// N-SO3M
o
In addition to the above described B-lactams
having a sulfonic acid, ~r a salt thereof, substi-
tuent in the l-position and an acylamino substituent
in the 3-position, this invention also encompasses
~-lactams naving a sulfonic acid, or a salt thereof,
substituent in the l-position and an amino substi-
tuent in the 3-position.

The terms "alkyl" and "alkoxy" refer to both straight and
branched chain groups. Those groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms
are preferred.
The terms "cyclalkyl" and "cycloalkenyl" refer to cyclo-
alkyl and cycloalkenyl groups having 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 carbonatoms.
The term "alkenyl" refers to both straight and branched
chain groups. Those groups having 2 to 10 carbon atoms are
preferred.
The term "halogen" refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine
and iodine.
The term "substituted phenyl" refers to a phenyl group
substituted with one, two or three amino, halogen, hydroxyl,
trifluoromethyl and lower alkyl or alkoxy groups.
The term "protected carboxyl" refers to a carboxyl group
which has been esterified with a conventional ester protecting
group. These groups are well known in the art; see, for ex-
ample, United States patent 4,144,333, issued ~larch 13, 1979.
The preferred protected carboxyl groups are benzyl, benzhydryl
and t-butyl esters.
The term "acyl" includes all organic radicals derived
from an organic acid (i.e., a carboxylic acid) by removal of
the hydroxyl group. Certain acyl groups are, of course, pre-
ferred, but this preference should not be viewed as a limita-
tion of the scope of this invention. Exemplary acyl groupsare those acyl groups which have been used in the past to
acylate ~-lactam antibiotics including 6-aminopenicillanic
acid and derivatives and 7-aminocephalosporanic acid and der-
ivatives; see, for example, Cephalosporins and Penicillins,

The term "cation", as used throughout the
specification, refers to any positively charged
atom or group of atoms. The "-SO3M~" substituent
on the nitrogen atom of the ~-lactams of this
invention encompasses all sulfonic acid salts.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are, of
course, preferred, although other salts are also
useful in purifying the products of this invention
or as intermediates for the preparation of
pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The cationic
portion of the sulfonic acid salts of this
invention can be obtained from either organic
or inorganic bases. Such cationic portion
includes, but is not limited to, the following
ions: ammonium; substituted ammonium, such as
alkylammonium (e.g., tetra-n-butylammonium,
referred to hereinafter as tetrabutylammonium);
alkali metal, such as lithium, sodium and potassium;
alkaline earth metal, such as calcium and magnesium;

- 11 - 1 338~70
pyridinium; dicyclohexylammonium; hydrabaminium; benzathinium;
N-methyl-D-glucaminium.
As set forth in formula I, and in the definitions
following formula I, M~ can be hydrogen.
As is described hereinafter, the ~-lactams of this
invention can be prepared by synthetic means. The non-alkoxy-
lated 4-unsubstituted ~-lactams of formula I, l.e., those
compounds of formula I wherein R2, R3 and R4 are hydrogen can
be prepared using 6-aminopenicillanic acid or a 6-acylamino-
penicillanic acid as a starting material. The ~-lactams of
formula I wherein R2 is alkoxy can be prepared from the corres-
ponding non-alkoxylated ~-lactam. Some of the compounds of
this invention may be crystallized or recrystallized from sol-
vents containing water. In these cases water of hydration
may be formed. This invention contemplates stoichiometric
hydrates as well as compounds containing variable amounts of
water that may be produced by processes such as lyophiliza-
tion.
Some of the ~-lactams of formula I have also been
prepared by biological means. Cultivation of a strain of
the microorganism Chromobacterium violaceum SC 11,378, yields
a salt of (R)-3-(acetylamino)-3-methoxy-2-oxo-1-azetidine-
sulfonic acid. Cultivation of various acetic acid bacteria
e.g., Gluconobacter species SC 11,435, yields a salt of (R)-
3-[[N-(D-~-glutamyl)-D-alanyl]amino]-3-methoxy-2-oxo-1-aze-
tidinesulfonic acid.

B-Lactams having a sulfonic acid salt
substituent in the l-position and an amino or
acylamino substituent in the 3-position contain
at least one chiral center the carbon atom
(in the 3-position of the B-lactam nucleus) to
which the amino or acylaminosubstituent is
attached. This invention is directed to those
B-lactams which have been described above, wherein
the stereochemistry at the chiral center in
the 3-position of the B-lactam nucleus is the
same as the configuration at the carbon atom
in the 6-position of naturally occurring penicillins
(e q., penicillin G) and as the configuration at
the carbon atom in the 7-position of naturally
occurring cephamycins (e.g., cephamycin C).
With respect to the preferred B-lactams
of formulas I and Ia, the structural formulas
have been drawn to show the stereochemistry
at the chiral center in the 3-position. Because
of the nomenclature convention, those compounds
of formulas I and Ia wherein R2 is hydrogen
have the S configuration and those compounds
of formulas I and Ia wherein R2 is alkoxy have
the R configuration.
Also included within the scope of this
invention are racemic mixtures which contain
the above-described B-lactams.

~ -Lactams having a sulfonic acid salt
substituent in the l-position of the ~-lactam
nucleus and an amino or acylamino substituent in
the 3-position of the ~-lactam nucleus have activity
against a range of gram-negative and gram-positive
organisms. The sulfonic acid salt substituent is
essential to the activity of the compounds of this
invention. The compounds wherein R3 and/or R4 are
- hydrogen or alkyl, especially methyl, exhibit
especially useful activity.
The compounds of this invention can be used as
agents to combat bacterial infections (including
urinary tract infections and respiratory infections~
in m~mm~ 1 ian species, such as domesticated animals
(e.g., dogs, cats, cows, horses, and the like) and
humans.
For combating bacterial infections in mammals
a compound of this invention can be administered to
a mammal in need thereof in an amount of about
1.4 mg/kg/day to about 350 mg/kg/day, perferably
about 14 mg/kg/day to about 100 mg/kg/day. All
modes of administration which have been used in the
past to deliver penicillins and cephalosporins to
the site of the infection are also contemplated for
use with the novel family of ~-lactams of this
invention. Such methods of administration include
oral, intravenous, intramuscular and as a suppository.

The ~-lactam products of this invention are
generally prepared by the introduction
of a sulfonic acid substituent (a sulfo group -SO3-)
onto the nitrogen atom in the l-position of the
~-lactam nucleus. This sulfonation reaction is readily
effected by treating the ~-lactam with a sulfur trioxide
complex or with an e~uivalent sulfonating reagent such
as a chlorosulfonate.
The sulfur trioxide complexes most commonly used
are pyridine-sulfur trioxide; lutidine-sulfur trioxide;
dimethylformamide-sulfur trioxide; and picoline-sulfur
trioxide. Instead of using a pre-formed complex, the
complex can be formed in situ, e.g., using chloro-
sulfonyl-trimethylsilyl ester and pyridine as reagents.
Alternatively, sulfonation can be effected by way of an
intermediate compound as for example first silylating
the nitrogen atom of the ~-lactam nucleus and then
subjecting the silated compound to a silyl interchange
reaction with trimethylsilylchlorosulfonate or a similar
reagent. Exemplary silylating agents are monosilyltri-
fluoroacetamide, trimethylsilylchloride/triethylamine
and bis-trimethylsilyl trifluoroacetamide.
Generally, the sulfonation reaction is carried out
in the presence of an organic solvent such as pyridine or
a mixture of organic solvents, preferably a mixture of a
polar solvent such as dimethylformamide and a halogenated
hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane.
The product initially formed in the sulfonation
reaction is a salt of the sulfonated ~-lactam.
When pyridine-sulfur trioxide is the sulfonating complex
the product initially formed is the ~-lactam-sulfonated
pyridinium salt of the sulfonated ~-lactam wherein M+ in
the formula below is the pyridinium ion:
/ ~-SO3 M

_ GC155f
-15- 1 3 3 8 6 7 ~
These complexes can be converted to other sulfonic
acid salts using conventional techniques (e.g., ion-
exchange resins, crystallization or ion-pair extraction.
These conversion techniques are also useful in purifying
the products. Conversion of the pyridine salt to the
potassium salt using potassium phosphate or potassium
ethyl hexanoate; to the tetrabutylammonium salt using
tetrabutyl ammonium hydrogen sulfate; or to a zwitterian
(M+ = hydrogen) using formic acid; are particularly
useful.
It should be appreciated that the sulfonation
reaction which introduces the sulfo group onto the
nitrogen atom of the ~-lactam nucleus can be effected
at various stages of the synthesis, including inser-
tion prior to the formation of a ~-lactam nucleus,
where such procedure is followed as outlined below.
The sulfonation reaction is effected in the presence
of solvents previously described and usually at room
temperature. Where the amino function is present it is
preferably conducted with the amino function protected.
Using a benzyloxycarbonyl protecting group as an
example, the sulfonation reaction can be visualized as
follows:
'~2 ~4 ~2 R~
C6H5CH2OCO R3 ~H2N R3
0~ ~ 2)d~L~ ~on ~ N-SO3 M
II III
Other protecting groups can be used to protect the
amine function, for example, a t-butyloxycarbonyl group,
a simple acyl grou~ such as acetyl or benzoyl of phenyl-
acetyl, a triphenylmethyl group, or having the amino
function in the form of an azide group. The desired acyl
group (Rl) can then be affixed by a conventional acylation
xeaction.

Exemplary acylation techniques for converting a
compound of formula IIIto a product of formula I
include reaction with a carboxylic acid ~Rl-OH), or
corresponding carboxylic acid halide or carboxylic
acid anhydride. When R2 is alkoxy, acylcation is
best effected by use of an acid chloride or acid
bromide. The reaction with a carboxylic acid proceeds
most readily in the presence of a carbodiimide such as
dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and a substance capable of
forming an active ester in situ such as N-hydroxybenzo-
triazole. In those instances when the acyl group (Rl)
contains reactive functionality (such as amino or
carboxyl groups) it may be necessary to first protect
those functional groups,then carry out the acylation
reaction, and finally deprotect the resulting product.
Alternatively, the sulfonation reaction can be effected
with the acyl group already in place, i.e.,
~2 R4 ~2 R4

In the case where R2 is lower alkoxy, there can
be an additional variation in that the R2-lower alkoxy
group can be inserted after the sulfonation as well as
before the sulfonation using the conventional procedure
of chlorinating the acylated nitrogen atom in the 3-
position followed by reaction with a lower alkoxide

On nutrient agar Chromobacterium violaceum
SC 11,378 produces violet colonies. The pigment
is enhanced on media rich in tryptophane and
S yeast extract. In nutrient broth it produces a
violet ring on the wall of the tube but no
confluent pellicle. The violet pigment is
soluble in ethanol but insoluble in water and
chloroform.
Chromobacterium violaceum SC 11,378 is
mesophilic, growing over a range of 15-37C;
no growth occurs at 4C or above 37C. Casein
is hydrolyzed strongly by the microorganism,
which is oxidase positive. In the presence of
Chromobacterium violaceun SC 11,378 glucose,
fructose and trehalose are fermented (method

- 5 on an aqueous nutrient medium containing an
assimilable carbon and nitrogen source.
The fermentation is carried out until substantial
antibiotic activity is imparted to the medium,
usually about 18 to 24 hours, preferably about
10 20 hours.
Using the following procedure, EM5117 can
be separated from the fermentation medium and
purified. After the fermentation-has been completed
the broth can be centrifuged to remove the mycelium
lS or, alternatively, filtration can be used to remove
the mycelium from the broth. After removing the
mycelium from the broth E~.5117 can be extracted
f-rom the broth. Preferably the broth is extracted
at pH 5 by ion-pair extraction with cetyldimethyl-
20 - benzylammonium chloride in methylene chloride and
back-extracted into aqueous sodium iodide (adjusted
to pH 5 with acetic acid). After concentration of
the sodium iodide extract in~-vacuo, an
aqueous solution of the residue can be washed with
25 butanol. Concentration of the resulting aqueous
solution to dryness yields a residue whi~h is
dissolved, to the extent possible, in methanol.
Centrifugation can be used to separate insolubles
which are washed with methanol and then discarded.

at 25C on a rotary shaker (300 rpm; 2 inch stroke)
for 18 hours. At this time the contents of the
fiasks are pooled and the broth is centrifuged
yielding approxLmately 9 liters of supernatant
broth.
Isolation and Purification (small scale)
Activity from the broth supernatant (1~0 liters)
is absorbed on a 500 g column of strongly basic
anion exchange resin with quaternary ammonium
groups attached to a styrene-divinylbenzene
copolymer lattice (Dowex AGl-X2(Cl-)),washed
with water and eluted with 5% sodium chloride
in aqueous 0.01 M NaH2PO4. The eluate is
concentrated in vacuo.
The residue is ~dsorbed on 250 g of charcoal
which is washed with water. EM5210 is eluted
with methanol-water (1:1). The active fractions
are combined and concentrated in vacuo yielding
crude EM5210.
The crude EM5210 is chromatographed on
. a 280 ml column of strong base anion exchange
resin (Bio.Rad AG l-X2 (Cl )) using a linear
gradient prepared from 1 liter of water and

1 liter of 2M pyridinium acetate (pH 4.5). The
active fractions are combined and concentrated
in vacuo.
The partially purified EM5210 is further
purified by gel filtration of the residue on
a 500 ml column of cross-linked dextran gel
(Sephadex G-10) eluting with water. The active
fractions are combined and concentrated yielding
26 mg of EM5210. The potassium salt of EM5210
is prepared by passing EM5210 through a column
of cation-exchange resin (Dowex 50-X2) in the
potassium form.
Isolation and Purification (large scale)
The broth filtrate of a 250 liter fermentation
(pH 3.7) of Gluconobacter species SC11,435 is
absorbed on 10.8 kg of strong base anion exchange
resin (Dowex l-X8(Cl-)). The resin is washed
with water and eluted with 5% sodium chloride
in 0.01 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate. The
active fractions are combined and concentrated
to a small volume. The precipitated salt is
removed and the filtrate is desalted by passing
it through a column of charcoal (1.1 kg of 20-40
mesh Darco) in water. The column is washed with
water and the EM5210 is elute~d with methanol-
water,l:l. Active fractions are combined and
concentrated. The residue (16 g) is dissolved
in water and chromatographed on a column (600 ml)
of strong base ion exchange resin (Bio.Rad AG 1-
X2(Cl-), 200-400 mesh), eluting with a linear

GC155f
-239- 1 3 3 8 6 7 0
gradient prepared from 1 liter of water and
1 liter of 10% sodium chloride in 0.01 M sodium
dihydrogen phosphate. Active fractions are combined !
concentrated in vacuo to a small volume, and
precipitated salts are removed by filtration.
The filtrate is applied to a column of macroreticular
styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer resin. The
column is eluted with water. The active fractions
are combined, concentrated to a small volume
and freeze-dried, yielding 120 mg of the sodium
salt of EM5210.
To transfonm the sodium salt to the lithium
-salt an ion-~YchA~ge resin (Dowex 50 W-X2, lithium
form) column is used. The sodium salt (100 mg)
is dissolved in 0.5 ml of water, applied to the
column and eluted with water. The active fracti~ns are com~
bined and directly freeze-dried, yi~l ~;ng 95 mg of the lithium
~lt of EMs~Io or as an ~I~L~ S solid.
The free acid (inner salt) of EM5210 is
prepared by passing a base salt of EM5210 through
a column of weak acid ion-exchange resin in
the H+ form. For example, about 2.5 mg of the
lithium salt can be applied to a column of
Bio.Rad Bio.Rex 70 (H+) and eluted with water
to give 1.45mg of the free acid (inner salt).
Chemical properties of EM5210
1) Ninhydrin positive.
2) Acid hydrolysis (6N-HCl at 115 C for 16 hours)

Biological Activity
The following methDdology is used to
deterrine the m; n;mum inhibitory concentration
(hereinafter referred to as MIC) of the B-lactams
of this invention.
The test organisms are grown in approximately
15-20 ml of Antibiotic Assay broth (Difco) by
inoculating (in tubes) the broth with a loopful
of the organism from a BHI (Difco).agar slant.
The inoculated tubes are incubated at 37C for
18 to 20 hours. These cultures are assumed to
contain 109 colony forming units (hereinafter
CFU) per milliliter. The cultures are diluted
1:100 to give a final inoculum level of 104
CFU; dilutions are made with K-10 broth*.
The compounds are dissolved in the appropriate
diluent at a concentration of 1000 ~g/ml. Two-
fold dilutions are made in K-10 broth resulting
in a range from 1000 ~g/ml to 0.5 ~g/ml. 1.5 ml
of each dilution is placed into individual
square petri dishes to which 13.5 ml of K-10
agar** is added. The final drug concentration in
the agar ranges from 100 ~g/ml to 0.05 ~g/ml.
Organism growth control plates containing agar
only are prepared and inoculated before and
after the test plates. The organisms are applied
to the `agar surface of each plate with the Denley
Multipoint Inoculator (which delivers approximately
0.001 ml of each organism) resulting in a final
- inoculum level of 10 CFU on the agar surface.
.
