Description:
DESCRIPTION ERYTHROMYCIN A, 11,12-CARBAMATE DERIVATIVES TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to novel derivatives of antibiotic erythromycin A.

BACKGROUND ART Erythromycin A is an antibiotic clinically widely used as an agent for treating infectious diseases caused by Gram-positive bacteria, mycoplasmas, etc.

However, erythromycin A is decomposed by the gastric acid due to instability to acids, and thereby has a drawback of no constancy of movement in the body. Hitherto many erythromycin A derivatives have been prepared for the purpose of the improvement of the biological or pharmacological properties. For example, it is reported that 6-O-methylerythromycin A derivatives have an improved stability to acids and have a superior in vivo antibacterial activity in comparison with erythromycin A when administered orally (U. S. Patent No. 4331803).

Recently, it is also reported that 11,12-cyclic carbamate derivatives are prepared from 6-0-methylerythromycin A as a starting material with the aim of expansion of antibacterial spectrum as well as stability to acids (EP. patent No. 487411 and US. Patent No. 4742049). In addition, the antibacterial activities of the ester

derivatives at the 3-position are also reported by some of the present inventors (EP. patent No. 619320).

An object of the present invention is to provide post-generational macrolide antibiotics having a strong antibacterial activity against not only known erythromycin-sensitive bacteria but also erythromycin- resistant bacteria which recently are showing a tendency to increase.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present inventors have found that the compounds which can be produced by introducing certain aromatic rings onto the nitrogen atom of the 11,12-cyclic carbonate of erythromycin A and converting the 3-position of the erythromycin A have a strong antibacterial activity against not only erythromycin-sensitive bacteria but also erythromycin-resistant bacteria, and thus the present invention has been accomplished.
