These derivatives have antibacterial activity against vancomycin-resistant bacteria.

## Background
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to glycosylated glycopeptide antibiotic derivatives, a process for producing the same, and their intermediates thereof.
BACKGROUND ART
A glycopeptide antibiotic is an antibiotic having a complicated polycyclic peptide structure which is produced by a variety of microorganisms, and is provided as an antibacterial agent effective for most of Gram-positive bacteria. In recent years, penicillin and cephalosporin resistant bacteria have appeared, and infection with multidrug resistant bacteria and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) lead to important problems in the medical field. A glycopeptide-based antibiotic such as vancomycin is typically effective for such microorganisms, and vancomycin has become the last resort drug for infection with MRSA and other resistant bacteria. However, particular microorganism such as vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) have begun to obtain resistance to vancomycin. In addition, recently, Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) which has acquired VRE resistance has been found out.
Vancomycin has a structure represented by the following formula:




more specifically, the following formula:





and the aromatic ring of amino acid residues which are the second and sixth position from N-terminal is substituted with a chlorine atom. Vancomycin derivatives are generally also termed glycopeptide antibiotics and, more academically, a generic name of dalbaheptides derived from D-alanyl-D-alanine binding antibiotics with a heptapeptidic structure has been proposed. The dalbaheptide has a peptide chain consisting of seven amino acids including aromatic amino acids as a common fundamental skeleton.

Previously, vancomycin, and other glycopeptide antibiotics having these common peptide chain as fundamental skeleton have been variously modified. For example, chloroorienticin B having the following structure (Patent Literature 1: JP-A No. 1-240196) and derivatives thereof (Patent Literature 2: JP-A No. 2001-163898) are known.




(wherein R5 is hydrogen, glucosyl, or (4-epi-vancosaminyl)-O-glucosyl)

As other glycopeptide antibiotics, for example, the following compounds are known.







In addition, glycopeptide compounds in which the amino sugar of vancomycin is modified are also known (e.g., Patent Literature 18).
However, development of antibacterial agents with novel structure in which antibacterial activity to drug-resistant bacteria, water solubility, distribution, safety and the like are further improved is desired.
On the other hand, as methods of chemically modifying glycopeptide antibiotics, methods using various glycosylase have been reported (e.g., Patent Literature 3, Non-Patent Literatures 1 to 5).
In addition, a glycopeptide compounds in which a sugar side chain consisting of 1 or 2 sugars, to which an aminomethylene-type substituent is bound, is bound to the aromatic ring part of the fourth amino acid residue of the glycopeptide antibiotic are known (e.g., Patent Literatures 4 to 17, Non-Patent Literatures 5 to 17).
Among them, in Non-Patent Literature 11 (Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2003), 42(38), 4657-4660), a vancomycin derivative in which —CH2 NH2 is bound to galactose at the sugar chain terminal is described, but no compound in which the amino group is further chemically modified is described.
In addition, recent trend of study regarding glycopeptide compounds has been reported (e.g., Non-Patent Literature 18)

General Process
A representative process of the present compound is described below, but it is not particularly limited to the production process.
A starting material of the present invention can be prepared by variously chemically modifying an amino part (RA2) of an amino sugar which binds to the sixth amino acid residue of a glycopeptides skeleton of chloroorienticin B or the known derivative thereof, or a C-terminal part (RB), a resorcinol part (RC), or an N-terminal part, a methylamino part (RD) of chloroorienticin B, vancomycin or the known derivative thereof. Alternatively, an aglycone obtained by once eliminating a sugar side chain which binds to the aromatic ring of the fourth amino acid residue of a glycopeptide skeleton can be also used as a raw material. Alternatively, as a starting material, chloroorienticin B, vancomycin or the known derivative thereof may be used without chemical modification.
The chemical modification may be performed, for example, according to the method described in International Publication WO 2006/057303 pamphlet which constitutes a part of the present description. Specifically, the chemical modification is as follows.
1) Modification of RA2 Part
Representatively, using chloroorienticin B as a raw material, corresponding various aldehydes are reacted with an amino part of an amino sugar optionally in the presence of an acid or a base to form a Schiff base which is an intermediate, this may be subsequently reduced to be N-alkylated, thereby to form an objective secondary amine.
More particularly, a reaction of forming a Schiff base is performed at a temperature of about 0° C. to about 100° C. optionally in the presence of an acid or a base in a polar solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, methanol, acetonitrile or water, or a mixed solvent thereof, optionally under the inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon. Preferably, the reaction is performed at a temperature of about 20° C. to about 40° C. for about 1 minute to 2 hours. As the base used, alkylamine (e.g., diisopropylethylamine) is exemplified. At this time, when a raw material compound has a substituent which is an obstacle of the present reaction, the substituent may be protected by the method described in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Theodora W Green (John Wiley & Sons) or the like, and the protective group may be removed at a desired step.
Then, a Schiff base of an intermediate may be reduced or catalytic-reduced with metal hydride complex, preferably without isolation. As the metal hydride complex, metal borohydride such as sodium borohydride or sodium cyanoborohydride can be used. Catalytic reduction is performed using hydrogen, in the presence of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst such as Crabtree catalyst, Wilkinson catalyst, palladium charcoal, platinum charcoal or rhodium charcoal. The reducing reaction is performed at a temperature of about 0° C. to about 100° C. for about 1 minute to 24 hours. Preferably, the reaction is performed at about 20° C. to about 40° C. in the solvent using excessive amount (e.g., 3 to 5 mole equivalent) of sodium cyanoborohydride.
The reaction of forming Schiff base and the reducing reaction may be performed simultaneously, or it is also possible to obtain objective compound by performing the reaction of forming Schiff base in the presence of a reducing agent.
2) Modification of RB Part
Representatively, by amidating a carboxylic acid part which is the C-terminal, by a conventional method, using chloroorienticin B, vancomycin or the like as a raw material, the raw material can be converted into various amide derivatives which have RB=—NR5R5′.
3) Modification of RC Part
Representatively, using chloroorienticin B, vancomycin or the like as a raw material, the resorcinol part is alkylated by a conventional method.
4) Modification of RD Part
Representatively, using chloroorienticin B, vancomycin or the like as a raw material, the methylamine part of the N-terminal part may be, example, N-alkylated by a conventional method.
5) Preparation of Aglycone
Representatively, using chloroorienticin B, vancomycin or the like as a raw material, the raw material may be de-glycosylated by the known method such as acid hydrolysis and the like. Specifically, the aglycone can be prepared by the method described in J. Med. Chem. (1965), 8, 18-22, J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. (1988), 1306-1307, Biochemistry (2001), 40(15)4745-4755 or the like.
The present compound can be preferably synthesized by binding a monosaccharide to an OH part of an aromatic ring of the fourth amino acid residue of the glycopeptide skeleton of a starting material prepared by the aforementioned method, or a sugar residue which binds to it using glycosyltransferase or the like, elongating the sugar chain, oxidizing a hydroxymethyl group of the sugar residue at the terminal into an aldehyde group, reacting amine corresponding to RA1 in the presence of an acid or a base, if desired, to form a Schiff base which is an intermediated and, subsequently, N-alkylating the base by reduction, to form objective secondary amine. Specifically, the synthesis is as follows.
