ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to carbapenem antibacterial agents in which the carbapenem nucleus is substituted at the 2-position with a 1,1-dioxo-2H-1-thia-2,3-diaza-naphthalene linked through a CH
2
group.
The carbapenems of the present invention are useful against gram positive microorganisms, especially methicillin resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA), methicillin resistant
Staphylococcus epidermidis
(MRSE), and methicillin resistant coagulase negative Staphylococci (MRCNS). The antibacterial compounds of the present invention thus comprise an important contribution to therapy for treating infections caused by these difficult to control pathogens. There is an increasing need for agents effective against such pathogens (MRSA/MRCNS) which are at the same time relatively free from undesirable side effects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention is described herein in detail using the terms defined below unless otherwise specified.
Carboxylate anion refers to a negatively charged group —COO
−
.
The term “alkyl” refers to a monovalent alkane (hydrocarbon) derived radical containing from 1 to 15 carbon atoms unless otherwise defined. It may be straight or branched. Preferred alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl and t-butyl. When substituted, alkyl groups may be substituted with up to 3 substituent groups, selected from R
c
or R
e
as defined, at any available point of attachment. When the alkyl group is said to be substituted with an alkyl group, this is used interchangeably with “branched alkyl group”.
Cycloalkyl is a specie of alkyl containing from 3 to 15 carbon atoms, without alternating or resonating double bonds between carbon atoms. It may contain from 1 to 4 rings which are fused. Preferred cycloalkyl groups are cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. When substituted, cycloalkyl groups may be substituted with up to 3 substituents selected from R
c
or R
e
as defined.
A C1-4 alkylene group refers to an alkyl group which is attached through two bonds to two different atoms or substituents. The two bonds on the alkylene group can be on the same carbon atom or on different carbon atoms. See, e.g., the following:
The term “alkenyl” refers to a hydrocarbon radical straight, branched or cyclic containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms and at least one carbon to carbon double bond. Preferred alkenyl groups include ethenyl, propenyl, butenyl and cyclohexenyl.
The term “alkynyl” refers to a hydrocarbon radical straight or branched, containing from 2 to 10 carbon atoms and at least one carbon to carbon triple bond. Preferred alkynyl groups include ethynyl, propynyl and butynyl.
Aryl refers to aromatic rings e.g., phenyl, substituted phenyl and the like, as well as rings which are fused, e.g., naphthyl, phenanthrenyl and the like. An aryl group thus contains at least one ring having at least 6 atoms, with up to five such rings being present, containing up to 22 atoms therein, with alternating (resonating) double bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. The preferred aryl groups are phenyl, naphthyl and phenanthrenyl. Aryl groups may likewise be substituted as defined. Preferred substituted aryls include phenyl and naphthyl.
The term “heteroaryl” (Het) refers to a monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon group having 5 or 6 ring atoms, or a bicyclic aromatic group having 8 to 10 atoms, containing at least one heteroatom, O, S or N, in which a carbon or nitrogen atom is the point of attachment, and in which one or two additional carbon atoms is optionally replaced by a heteroatom selected from O or S, and in which from 1 to 3 additional carbon atoms are optionally replaced by nitrogen heteroatoms, said heteroaryl group being optionally substituted as described herein. Examples of this type are pyrrole, pyridine, oxazole, thiazole and oxazine. Additional nitrogen atoms may be present together with the first nitrogen and oxygen or sulfur, giving, e.g., thiadiazole. Examples include the following:
The group L—Q—R
q
, if present, is attached to either of the two phenyl rings of the 2H-1-thia-2,3-diaza-naphthalene 1,1-dioxide group, provided that no more than one L—Q—R
q
group is present.
Heteroarylium refers to heteroaryl groups bearing a quaternary nitrogen atom and thus a positive charge. Examples include the following:
When a charge is shown on a particular nitrogen atom in a ring which contains one or more additional nitrogen ato
