Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and specifically relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing a cephalosporin antibacterial compound and a method for producing the same.
Background Art
[0002] The development of antibacterial therapies is an ongoing challenge faced by modern society. Antibacterial agents include various antibiotics, sulfonamides, imidazoles, nitroimidazoles, quinolones and other chemically synthesized drugs. Among them, β-lactam antibiotics are a very important classification. To date, there are numerous β-lactamase drugs reported in the literature research or already on the market, which have become extremely important antibacterial drugs clinically. However, the resistance problem to β-lactam drugs is becoming increasingly serious, and the number of bacteria that produce β-lactamase and acquire resistance by decomposing β-lactam drugs is increasing.
[0003] The emergence of Gram-negative bacteria with high resistance to β-lactam drugs (including cephalosporin and carbapenem) has caused serious clinical application problems. Such resistance is caused by the production of A or D-type serine β-lactamase and B-type metallo-β-lactamase that extend its substrate spectrum. It is known that metallo-β-lactamase is one of the causes of multi-drug resistance acquisition in Gram-negative bacteria. However, the development of cephalosporin compounds with more effective antibacterial activity, especially showing effectiveness against Gram-negative bacteria that produce various β-lactamases, is a difficult problem in the modern antibacterial drug research field.
[0004] According to the literature, it has been reported that cephalosporin compounds having a catechol group in the molecule have high resistance activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Its action is that the catechol group in the molecule forms a chelate with extracellular Fe 3+ and thereby the compound is in Fe in the cell membrane 3+The mechanism involves effective binding to bacterial cells via transporter systems (tonB-dependent transporter systems). This Trojan horse strategy leads to higher concentrations in the periplasmic space (the narrow space between the outer membrane and the cell wall), and binding to receptors to inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis. Therefore, research is being conducted on compounds with catechol or similar structures in the 3- or 7-position side chain of the cephalosporin skeleton (EP0416410B1). Cefiderocol is a novel siderofoam cephalosporin (WO 2010050468, WO 2017216765, etc.), and the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved the use of Shionogi's Fetroja (cefiderocol) for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs), including kidney infections caused by susceptible Gram-negative bacteria, in patients 18 years of age and older.
[0005] WO 2022152146 has a structure of formula (I): [ka] As shown, we have disclosed a siderofoa cephalosporin with good antibacterial activity. However, the stability of this compound is very low, requiring the raw material to be stored at temperatures below -60°C, which poses a challenge for the manufacture of pharmaceutical products.

[0042] Example 2 Based on the formulation composition in Table 2, the compound represented by formula (I) was weighed, placed in a small beaker, suspended in sterile water for injection, and the pH was adjusted to the target level with a buffer solution or arginine while stirring. The protective excipients in the proportions shown in Table 2 were added, and after stirring and dissolution, sterile water for injection was added to adjust the concentration to the drug concentration shown in Table 2. Sterile filtration was performed to obtain the intermediate drug solution. A certain amount of the intermediate drug solution was dispensed into vials, and the final sterile powder formulation was produced by lyophilization.

[0047] Example 4 Based on the formulation composition in Table 4, 500 mg of the compound represented by formula (I) was weighed, placed in a small beaker, suspended in sterile water for injection, and 96 mg of arginine was added while continuously stirring. After clarification, the pH was adjusted to 5.4-5.8 with sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid. 609.49 mg of arginine hydrochloride was added, clarified, and then sterile water for injection was added to a final volume of 5 ml. Sterile filtration was performed to obtain the intermediate drug solution. This formulation solution was placed in a vial and freeze-dried to produce the final sterile powder formulation.
