Wilson and Gisvold's Textbook of Organic Medicinal alld Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Synthesis

natural penicillins are strongly dextrorotatory. The solubilit) and other physicochemical properties of the penicillins are affected by the nature of the acyl side chain and by the cations used to make salts of the acid. Most penicillins are acids with pK. values in the range of 2.5 to 3.0, but some are amphoteric. The free acids are not suitable for oral or parenteral administration. The sodium and potassium salb of most penicillins, however, are soluble in water and readily absorbed orally or parenterally. Salts of penicillins with or· ganic bases, such as benzathine, procaine, and hydrabamine, have limited water solubility and are, therefore, useful as depot forms to provide effective blood levels over a 10n1 period in the treatment of chronic infections. Some of the crystalline salts of the penicillins are hygroscopic and mu~ be stored in sealed containers. The main cause of deterioration of penicillin is the reactiv· ity of the strained lactam ring, particularly to hydrolysis. The course of the hydrolysis and the nature of the degradatioo products are influenced by the pH of the solution. IS. 19 Thul. the ,B-lactam carbonyl group of penicillin readily undergoes nucleophilic attack by water or (especially) hydroxide ion to form the inactive penicilloic acid, which is reasonably stable in neutral to alkaline solutions but readily undergoes decarboxylation and further hydrolytic reactions in acidic solutions. Other nucleophiles, such as hydroxylamines, aI· kylamines, and alcohols, open the ,B-lactam ring to form the corresponding hydroxamic acids, amides, and esters. It has been speculated 20 that one of the causes of penicillin aller!) may be the fomlation of antigenic penicilloyl proteins iJ vivo by the reaction of nucleophilic groups (e.g., E-aminol on specific body proteins with the ,B-lactam carbonyl group. In strongly acidic solutions (pH < 3), penicillin undergoo a complex series of reactions leading to a variety of inactile degradation products (Fig. 10-3).19 The first step appeaJliO involve rearrangement to the penicillanic acid. This process is initiated by protonation of the ,B-Iactam nitrogen, followell by nucleophilic attack of the acyl oxygen atom on the ~ lactam carbonyl carbon. The subsequent opening of the ~ lactam ring destabilizes the thiazoline ring, which then aI~ suffers acid-catalyzed ring opening to fOJ III the penicillan( acid. The latter is very unstable and experiences two maj~ degradation pathways. The most easily understood path in· volves hydrolysis of the oxazolone ring to form the unstab~ penamaldic acid. Because it is an enamine, penamaldic aria easily hydrolyzes to penicillamine (a major degradaiioo

Examination of the structure of the penicillin molecule shows that it contains a fused ring system of unusual design, the ,B-lactam thiazolidine structure. The nature of the ,B-lactam ring delayed elucidation of the structure of penicillin, but its determination resulted from a collaborative research program involving groups in Great Britain and the United States during the years 1943 to 1945 14 Attempts to synthesize these compounds resulted, at best, in only trace amounts until Sheehan and Henery-Logan 15 adapted techniques developed in peptide synthesis to the synthesis of penicillin V. This procedure is not likely to replace the established fermentation processes because the last step in the reaction series develops only 10 to 12% penicillin. It is of advantage in research because it provides a means of obtaining many new amide chains hitherto not possible to achieve by biosynthetic procedures. Two other developments have provided additional means for making new penicillins. A group of British scientists, Batchelor et al.,16 reported the isolation of 6-aminopenicillanic acid from a culture of P. chrysogenum. This compound can be converted to penicillins by acylation of the 6-amino group. Sheehan and Ferris 17 provided another route to synthetic penicillins by converting a natural penicillin, such as penicillin G potassium, to an intermediate (Fig. 10-1), from which the acyl side chain has been cleaved and which then can be treated to f01l1l biologically active penicillins with a variety of new side chains. By these procedures, new penicillins, superior in activity and stability to those fOllllerly in wide use, were found, and no doubt others will be produced. The first commercial products of these research activities were phenoxyethylpenicillin (phenethicillin) (Fig. 10-2) and dimethox yphenylpenici IIi n (methicill in).

Chemical Degradation The early commercial penicillin was a yellow to brown amorphous powder that was so unstable that refrigeration was required to maintain a reasonable level of activity for a short time. Improved purification procedures provided the white crystalline material in use today. Crystalline penicillin must be protected from moisture, but when kept dry, the salts will remain stable for years without refrigeration. Many penicillins have an unpleasant taste, which must be overcome in the fOllllation of pediatric dosage forms . All of the
