1359374 Amidinoureido-penicillins AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS CORP 13 Dec 1971 [12 Aug 1971] 57730/71 Headings C2A and C2C Novel amidinoureido cycloaliphatic penicillins having the formula (I): and salts thereof, wherein R1 is a C 4 to C 10 cycloalkyl radical, or a cyclohexenyl or cyclohexadienyl radical, are prepared by reacting anα-amino penicillin of formula (III): wherein R1 is as defined above, or a salt thereof, with an amidinocarbamoylating agent. The preferred amidinocarbamoylating agent is an unstable azide of formula prepared in situ in the reaction mixture by reacting amidinosemicarbazide or a salt thereof with a nitrite (e.g. NaNO 2 ), about 1 to 3 moles of amidinosemicarbazide per mole of the compound (III) being used and the reaction being performed in the presence of water and a base such as triethylamine, pyridine or N-methylpiperidine. The inventive compounds are usually recovered in a hydrated form (e.g. the mono-, di- or tri-hydrate). The starting penicillins (III) may be prepared by a conventional N-acylation of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). For example: (i) 6-APA in basic aqueous solution is N-acylated with the acid chloride hydrochloride of D-α- amino 1,4-cyclohexadiene-1-acetic acid to give 6 - [D - 2 - amino - 2 - (1,4 - cyclohexadien - 1- yl) acetamido] penicillanic acid, and (ii) 6-APA is N-acylated with the acid chloride hydrochloride of D-α-aminocyclohexane-acetic acid in anhydrous methylene chloride in the presence of N,O-bis-(trimethsilyl) acetamide followed by aqueous hydrolysis of the reaction mixture to give 6 - (D - 2 - amino - 2 - cyclohexylacetamido)- penicillanic acid. 6-[D-2-amino-2-(1-cyclohexen-1-yl) acetamido] penicillanic acid is prepared by catalytic hydrogenation (Pd/C) of the corresponding 1,4 - cyclohexadiene - 1 - yl compound prepared as described in (i) above. The starting materials (III) are converted to the inventive penicillins (I) by dissolution in ice cold water containing one of the aforesaid bases, and then adding an ice cold aqueous solution of amidinosemicarbazide dihydrochloride and NaNO 2 . The required product crystallizes from the reaction mixture, if necessary after concentration and adjusting the pH to the isoelectric point of the product. The acid chloride hydrochlorides of D-α-aminocyclohexane-acetic acid and D-α-amino-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1-acetic acid are prepared by treatment of the said acids with PCl 5 under anhydrous conditions in the presence of HCl. The penicillins (I) may be dissolved or suspended in an inert liquid carrier for use as disinfecting compositions, or admixed with a pharmaceutical carrier or diluent to provide pharmaceutical antibiotic compositions.
