Description

United States Patent This invention relates to the preparation of 7-halo-6- deoxytetracyclines which may be represented by the following general formula 112. H R2 R3 (C s)2 -CONH2 (at E ii wherein R is Br, C1 or I and R is H or CH when R, is
H, and R is CH when R is OH.
The halodeoxytetracyclines of this invention may be prepared by dissolving asuitable 6-deoxytetracycline, i.e. 6-deoxytetracycline itself, 6-demethyl-fi-deoxytetracycline or 5-hydroxy-o-deoxytetracycline, in a suitable solvent,
such as concentrated mineral acid, i.e., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, etc. and adding a halogenating agent such as an N-haloamide, i.e., N-bromosuccinimide, N-bromoacetamide, N-bromophthalimide, N-chlorosuccinimide, N- iodosuccinimide, etc. The reaction with the haloamide is preferably carried out at temperatures of from about 0 C. to about 20 C. until the reaction is complete. Alternatively, the bromination may be carried out with bromine in a strong mineral acid, i.e., HBr and in a suitable organic solvent such as a lower alkanoic acid, i.e. acetic acid, propionic acid, etc, at temperatures of from about 10 C. to about 50 C. The halodeoxytetracycline so-formed is isolated from the reaction mixture by any convenient method as, for example, by precipitation with ethyl ether or the like, and the product may be purified by recrystallization from an alcohol-acetone-ether solution in a standard manner.
The halodeoxytetracyclines are biologically active and have the broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of the previously known tetracyclines. The antibacterial spectrum of certain of these compounds, representing the amount required to inhibit the growth of various typical bacteria, was determined in a standard manner by the agar dilution streak technique which is commonly used in testing new antibiotics. The minimal inhibitory concentrations, expressed in gamrnas per milliliter, of 7- bromo-o-demethyl-6-deoxytetracycline, 7 bromo-6-deoxytetracycline and 7-iodo 6 deoxy-tetracycline against various test organisms are reported in the table below. For comparison purposes the antibacterial activity of tetracycline against the same organisms is also included.

The 7-iododeoxytetracycline and 7- bromodeoxytetracycline appear to concentrate in rapidly proliferating tissue such as found in tumor growths. These compounds may be rendered radioactive by incorporation of iodine 131 or bromine 82 in the 7-position of the ring nucleus. These radio labeled compounds by virtue of their gamma rays and beta particle emissions allow the detection, localization and diagnosis of neoplastic tissue. The chemical methods for preparing these radio-labeled compounds are similar to those preparative methods already described for the preparation of non-radioactive compounds with the obvious exception that the radioisotope of the appropriate halogens are used.
