Definitions
- DI.CU VULANATE SALT WITH A DIAMINE AND PROCESS OF PREPARATION
- the present invention relates to novel alkylenediammonium diclavulanate derivatives, to processes for their preparation and to their use as intermediate compounds for the preparation of clavulanic acid and of pharmaceutically acceptable alkali salts thereof, such as potassium clavulanate.
- Clavulanic acid is a known compound of the following structure:
- clavulanic acid and its salts are used in pharmaceutical preparations in order to inhibit the inactivation of b-lactam antibiotics.
- Commercial preparations contain a stable potassium salt of clavulanic acid (clavulanic acid itself being rather unstable) in combination with amoxycillin trihydrate.
- Clavulanic acid and its salts were first disclosed in GB 1,508,977.
- the processes described therein for the preparation of clavulanic acid described therein are time-consuming and is based on exacting purifications by means of various chromatographic methods.
- the salts of clavulanic acid are obtained by binding the clavulanic anion present in the filtrate of the fermentation broth on an anionic exchange resin, subsequent elution of the clavulanate anion therefrom by means of an electrolyte, desalting the obtained eluate, passing the latter through another anionic exchange resin and a subsequent chromatographic elution therefrom by means of an electrolyte, repeatedly desalting the obtained eluate and removing the solvent.
- the process describe therein is based on the preparation of the t-butylamine salt of clavulanic acid which is prepared by treating the extract, preferably the ethyl acetate extract, containing crude clavulanic acid, which was prepared according to the process as described in GB 1,508,977, with t- butylamine in an organic solvent such as a ketone, followed by the conversion of the isolated t-butylamine salt of clavulanic acid to clavulanic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
- Clavulanic acid is normally prepared by the fermentation of a microorganism which produces clavulanic acid, such as various microorganisms belonging to various Streptomyces strains such as S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585, S. jumoninensis NRRL 5741, S. katsurahaman s IFO 13716 and Streptomyces sp. P 6621 FERM P2804 e.g. as described in JP Kokai 80-162993.
- the resulting aqueous broth may be subjected to conventional purification and concentration processes, for example involving filtration and chromatographic purification, such as disclosed in GB 1508977 and JP Kokai 80-62993, before extraction of the aqueous solution with an organic solvent to yield a solution of crude clavulanic acid in the organic solvent.
- Solvents suitable for the extraction are organic alkyl alkanoyl esters such as ethyl acetate, ketones such as methyl isobutyl ketone or acetone, aliphatic alcohols such as butanol, or mixtures thereof, a preferred solvent being ethyl acetate.
- the obtained extract in the organic solvent, such as the ethyl acetate extract may also be further subjected to purification such as de-watering and/or a treatment with activated charcoal to eliminate a further quantity of impurities.
- Novel compounds of clavulanic acid have been discovered which are useful as intermediates in processes for purification of the above-described clavulanic acid extracts. Also improved processes for isolating clavulanic acid from such extracts have been discovered.
- a diclavulanate salt with a diamine, of formula (I) is provided:
- R ⁇ , R2, R3 and R4 denote; a hydrogen atom, a straight chain or a branched chain Cj.g alkyl group, an arylalkyl group wherein the alkyl group is a methyl or ethyl group and the aryl group is a phenyl group, which is optionally substituted by an N-alkyl or N,N-dialkyl group wherein the alkyl groups are Cj .4 alkyl, or; R , R2, R3 and R4 jointly independently denote a cyclic alkylene ring having 3 to 6 methylene groups, one of these groups being optionally substituted by an oxygen or a sulphur atom or by an amino group and R5 denotes a hydrogen atom, or a methyl group; and n denotes an integer from 1 to 3; in the form of solvate of the salt with an organic solvent or with water.
- the solvates of the salts (I) may be solvates in which the solvating solvent is an organic solvent such as an organic alkyl alkanoate ester such as ethyl acetate, ketones such as acetone etc, or hydrates in which the solvating solvent is water.
- the solvating solvent is an organic solvent such as an organic alkyl alkanoate ester such as ethyl acetate, ketones such as acetone etc, or hydrates in which the solvating solvent is water.
- Such solvates are found to be stable forms of the salts (I), that in these salts may. be readily isolated as these solvates and kept for a convenient time, or handled, without excessive decomposition of the salt molecule itself or loss of solvating solvent.
- the solvates may be of various stoichiometries of clavulanic acid : solvent, but ce ⁇ ain solvates have a ratio clavulanic acid : solvent of >1 : 1, for example approximately 2 : 1.
- the overall stoichiometry of such solvates is consequently clavulanic acid : diamine : solvent 2 : 1 : ca. 1.
- Preferred solvates of which the stability can be demonstrated by inter alia easy formation, are solvates with organic alkyl esters such as ethyl acetate, ketones such as acetone, and hydrates. Examples of such solvates include those formed between up to one molecule of ethyl acetate or acetone, and one molecule of the salt
- Suitable salts are those in which the diamine is an N,N'-disubstituted symmetric ethylenediamine having an alkyl chain of medium length, e.g. Cj.g, for example, wherein R] and R3 denote an ethyl or an isopropyl group, R2 and R4 denote a hydrogen atom and n denotes 1.
- a preferred diamine is N,N'- diisopropylethylenediamine.
- Suitable solvates of salts (I) are:
- the clavulanic acid is used in the form of the free acid, but suitable labile derivatives include silyl esters.
- the organic solvent in which the reaction takes place may suitably be a solvent used to extract clavulanic acid from the aqueous solution obtained from the fermentation process as described above.
- a preferred solvent is ethyl acetate.
- the initial source of the clavulanic acid is a broth resulting from • fermentation of a clavulanic acid-producing microorganism, such as those mentioned above, then to obtain a solvent extract of a suitable concentration of clavulanic acid for use in this process it may be desirable not to extract the broth itself, but to at least remove some of the suspended solids in the broth, e.g by filtration prior to extraction. It is also desirable to pre-concentrate the aqueous solution of clavulanic acid obtained in fermentation, so that for example the aqueous solution of clavulanic acid is several times more concentrated in clavulanic acid than the starting broth, for example pre- concentrated to a concentration of ca. 10 - 25 g/L clavulanic acid.
- Suitable pre-concentration processes include absorption of the clavulanic acid onto an anion exchange resin, followed by elution of the clavulanic acid therefrom with an aqueous solution of an electrolyte such as sodium chloride, and optionally de ⁇ salting. It is also preferred to acidify the aqueous solution, e.g the broth or the pre- concentrated aqueous solution prior to solvent extraction, e.g to pH 1 to 3, e.g around pH 1.5 to 2.5. It is also preferred to dry or de-water the organic solvent extract prior to formation of the salt (I), e.g to less than 6g/L of water, although as discussed below, the presence of small quantities of water in the solvent may be advantageous in achieving crystallisation of the solvate.
- an electrolyte such as sodium chloride
- a suitable concentration for the clavulanic acid or its labile derivative in the organic solvent is at least 1.0 g/L, for example in the range 1.0 to 4.0 g/L of clavulanic acid. It may be advantageous to further concentrate the solvent extract, for example by evaporation, to a concentration of clavulanic acid in excess of this, e.g greater than 10 g/L, e.g. greater than 20 g/L.
- the solvates of salts (I) may be formed in the process of the invention by solvation of the salts of formula (I), formed by reaction between clavulanic acid or the labile derivative thereof and the diamine (II), with the organic solvent in which the reaction is carried out, or as a hydrate with water present as an impurity in this solvent.
- the process may be carried out in a non-solvating solvent, which is admixed with a solvating solvent.
- Suitable and preferred diamines (II) are those described above, especially N,N'-diisopropylethylenediamine.
- the diamine (II) can be used either as such or in the form of a solution in an organic solvent, such as the above-described extraction solvents, for example acetone or ethyl acetate.
- an organic solvent such as the above-described extraction solvents, for example acetone or ethyl acetate.
- the salt (I) of the clavulanic acid preferably at least one equivalent of the selected diamine (II) per mole of clavulanic acid should be used.
- the solvates of the salt (I) are generally insoluble in organic solvents, and if they are formed by a reaction which takes place in an organic solvent they generally precipitate out.
- the solvent may suitably contain around 0.25-0.6 g/L of water as it is believed that such a quantity of water may assist in crystallisation.
- the solvate of the salt (I) is to be isolated in a solid form it may suitably be filtered off, and is preferably then washed with an organic solvent, which may be the same organic solvent that the reaction to prepare salt (I) is carried out in, for example ethyl acetate.
- the solvate may be washed with a different solvent to that in which the salt is prepared, for example acetone in the case of an ethyl acetate solvate, although this may lead to formation of a solvate of the solvent used for washing.
- the solvent-wet solvate may then be dried, e,g in vacuo or may be further used wet.
- the solid solvate as filtered off may be redissolved in a solvent, such as water, or an alcohol such as methanol, or a water: acetone mixture, and then reprecipitated by admixing the solution with an organic solvent, for example acetone (thereby increasing the proportion of acetone if the solvate has been redissolved in water : acetone) or an alkyl alkanoate ester such as ethyl acetate. It is preferred to redissolve the solvate in the minimum of solvent and then admix the solution with an excess of the organic solvent. The reprecipitated solvate may then be collected, e.g. by filtration and optionally washed and dried as above.

- the reaction between the clavulanic acid or its labile derivative and the diamine (II) may be carried out at around ambient temperature, e.g. ca. 20°C, but preferably the reaction is carried out at a temperature lower than ambient, e.g.-15 to +15°C, e.g 0 to 15°C, e.g. 0 to 10°C suitably 0 to 5°C.
- the use of such lower temperatures may advantageously result in a higher yield of the solvate.
- the use of temperatures lower than ambient appears to be of advantage generally in improving yield in processes in which salts (I) are prepared, whether these salts are obtained in a solvated or non-solvated form.
- an improved process for the preparation of a salt of formula (I) as defined above in a non-solvated form in which a solution of clavulanic acid or a labile derivative thereof in an organic solvent, such as the solvent extract obtained in the above-described manner, is reacted with a substituted diamine of formula (II) as defined above to yield a substituted diammonium diclavulanate salt of general formula (I) as defined above, wherein the reaction is carried out at a temperature lower than ambient.
- this last-described process is carried out at a temperature of 0 to 15° C, e.g. 0 to 10°C, e.g. 0 to 5°C.
- the solvated salts of formula (I) may be used as intermediates in the preparation of substantially pure clavulanic acid or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of clavulanic acid, because these solvates can be obtained in a substantially pure form, from which impurities in the clavulanic acid solution, e.g. in the above- mentioned extracts, have been substantially removed.
- Such pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be prepared from these solvates of salts (I) or the non-solvated salts (I) by double decomposition.
- pharmaceutically acceptable salts of clavulanic acid herein is meant salts of clavulanic acid with a pharmaceutically acceptable cation.
- a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of clavulanic acid is prepared by reacting a solvate of a clavulanic acid salt of formula (I), as defined above, with a salt precursor compound of a pharmaceutically acceptable cation.
- the precursor compound is a compound of the cation with a counter anion which can exchange with clavulanate anion to form a pharmaceutically acceptable clavulanate salt of the cation.
- the cation is a metal cation.
- Suitable metals include alkali metals, particularly potassium so that potassium clavulanate is formed which is preferred for its stability.
- Suitable counter anions include carbonate, hydrogen carbonate, hydroxide or C ⁇ . ⁇ Q alkanoate, such as butanoates, pentanoates, hexanoates, heptanoates, octanoates, and alkyl-substituted forms of these particularly 2-ethylhexanoate, a preferred salt precursor compound being potassium 2-ethylhexanoate.
- the counter anion may be present in the form of an anionic resin.
- the reaction between the solvate of the salt (I) and the salt precursor may be carried out in solution or suspension, for example in an organic solvent or organic solvent: water mixture.
- the solvate and the precursor may be respectively made up in separate solutions or suspension and mixed.
- a suitable solvent for the solvate of salt (I), particularly for ethyl acetate solvates, is an isopropanol: water mixture, for example having an isopropanol: water ratio between the inclusive ranges 50:1 and 1:50.
- the solvent: water mixture may be made up first, and the solvate of salt (I) then dissolved in the mixture.
- a preferred solvent for the salt precursor is isopropanol.
- a stoichiometric excess of the salt precursor, e.g. potassium 2-ethylhexanoate, over the salt (I) or solvate is used.
- the product pharmaceutically acceptable salt of clavulanic acid may then be obtained in the form of crystals separating from the reaction mixture and may be collected by, conventional procedures.
- the reaction between the solvate and the salt precursor may be carried out ambient temperature, e.g. ca 20°C, but preferably the reaction is carried out at a temperature lower than ambient, e.g. 0 to 15°C, e.g. 0 to 10°C, suitably 0 to 5°C.
- ambient temperature e.g. ca 20°C
- the reaction is carried out at a temperature lower than ambient, e.g. 0 to 15°C, e.g. 0 to 10°C, suitably 0 to 5°C.
- the use of such lower temperatures may advantageously result in a higher yield of the salt product.
- temperatures lower than ambient appears to be of advantage generally in improving yield in processes in which pharmaceutically acceptable salts of clavulanic acid are prepared by reaction between a salt (I) and a salt precursor, whether the salt (I) is in a solvated or non-solvated form.
- a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of clavulanic acid is prepared by reacting a clavulanic acid salt of formula (I) as defined above in a non-solvated form, with a salt precursor compound of a pharmaceutically acceptable cation at a temperature below ambient.
- a suitable temperature is between 0 to 15°C, e.g. 0 to 10°C, e.g. 0 to 5°C.
- (I) may be isolated in a separate solid form, (I) e.g. by filtration, it is also possible to extract the salt (I) or solvate from the organic solvent in which it is formed, it this solvent is substantially imiscible with water, into a separate aqueous phase of water or a water : organic solvent mixture to form a concentrated aqueous solution of the solvate in the phase.
