3,4'-dideoxymycaminosltylonolide derivative and process for producing

Novel derivatives of kanamycin, 1-N-(L-4-amino-2-hydroxy butyryl)-6'-N-alkylkanamycins, have been prepared which possess improved antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria including kanamycin-resistant strains.

Derivatives of kanamycin A

A new and useful 1-N-[(S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminoacyl] derivative of an aminoglycosidic antibiotic, including its deoxy derivative, such as kanamycin B, 3'-deoxyneamine, 3',4'-dideoxyneamine, 3',4'-dideoxyribostamycin or 3',4'-dideoxykanamycin B is now synthetized from the parent substance, aminoglycosidic antiobiotic. The new 1-N-[(S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminoacyl] derivative shows a wider and/or higher antibacterial activity than the parent substance and is useful in the treatment of infections by gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, including drug-resistant strains thereof. The preparation of this new derivative may be made by 1-N-acylating the parent aminoglycosidic antibiotic with (S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminocarboxylic acid with the amino group being protected, and chromatographically separating the acylated products to isolate the desired 1-N-acyl derivative, followed by the removal of the amino-protecting group.

1-N-[(S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminoacyl] derivatives of

3'-Deoxy derivatives of neamine, 6'-N-alkylneamine, kanamycin B, 6'-N-alkylkanamycin B, ribostamycin, 6'-N-alkylribostamycin and paromamine may be produced by a new process comprising reducing the 3',4'-.alpha.-anhydro derivative (namely, the 3',4'-epoxide derivative) of the aminoglycosidic antibiotics with hydrogen in an alkaline lower alkanol medium containing an alkali metal hydroxide or alkoxide dissolved therein and in the presence of a reducing catalyst such as Raney nickel. The 3',4'-.alpha.-anhydro derivative may be prepared by treating the 3'-sulfonylated derivative of the amino-protected and hydroxyl-protected neamine, 6'-N-alkylneamine, kanamycin B, 6'-N-alkylkanamycin B, ribostamycin, 6'-N-alkylribostamycin or paromamine with an alkali metal hydroxide or alkoxide in a lower alkanol to effect epoxidation between the 4'-hydroxyl group and the carbon atom substituted by the 3'-sulfonic ester group.

Process for the synthetic production of 3-deoxy derivative of an

A new and useful 1-N-[(S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminoacyl]derivative of an aminoglycosidic antiobiotic, including its deoxy derivative, such as kanamycin B, 3'-deoxyneamine, 3',4'-dideoxyneamine, 3',4'-dideoxyribostamycin or 3', 4'-dideoxykanamycin B is now synthetized from the parent substance, aminoglycosidic antibiotic. The new 1-N-[(S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminoacyl] derivative shows a wider and/or higher antibacterial activity than the parent substance and is useful in the treatment of infections by gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, including drug-resistant strains thereof. The preparation of this new derivative may be made by 1-N-acylating the parent aminoglycosidic antibiotic with (S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminocarboxylic acid with the amino group being protected, and chromatographically separating the acylated products to isolate the desired 1-N-acyl derivative, followed by the removal of the amino-protecting group.

1-N-[(S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminoacyl]

Lividomycin B derivatives having enhanced antibacterial activity are provided; the 6'-deoxy-6' substituted or unsubstituted amino lividomycins are prepared by masking the functional groups other than the 4' - and 6' -hydroxyl groups, converting the 6' hydroxyl group to an amino group and then removing the remaining protective groups.

New compound 6'-deoxy-'-substituted or unsubstituted amino-lividomycins

Process of producing a 1-N-((S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminoacyl)-3',4'-dideoxyneamine or -3',4'-dideoxyribostamycin, a useful semi-synthetic antibiotic in which the corresponding 6-O-((S)-.alpha.-hydroxy-.omega.-aminoacyl)-3',4'-dideoxyneamine or -3',4'-dideoxyribostamycine undergoes the acyl-migration reaction by treating with a basic medium.
