ANTIMICROBIAL POLYMERIC BISBIGUANIDES
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to antimicrcbial polymeric bisbiguanides, and, more particularly, to antimicrobial polymeric bisbiguanides capped with alkylene pyrrolidonyl groups.
2. Description of the Prior Art Bisbiguanides are well known as antimicrobial agents. See, for example, U.S. Patents Nos. 3,468,898;
4,022,834; 4,5Ç7,174; and 4,670,592. Manufacture of antimicrobial polymeric diguanides by reaction of a metal salt of dicyanamide, or a diamine salt of dicyanamide, and a diaminoalkane, has been described in U.S. Patents 2,643,232 and 3,428,576. Polymeric diguanides based upon these patents have broad spectrum biocidal activity and have gained wide acceptance as disinfectants in the brewing, foodstuff, soft drink and dairy industries. For example, Vantocil~ IB, a trademark of the ICI Corp., is a cationic polymeric diyuanide which is an active disinfectant for use in these industries. However, the presence of cyano and/or amino end groups in these polymers can contribute to their toxicity and/or irritability.
~F~3 Cutler, i~ Soap and Chemical Specialties, Feb.
1966, page 45, relates effective antimicrobial activity of bisbiguanides to their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values. However, since bacteria grows in an aqueous phase, prefe.red antimicrobial bisbiguanides should have water solubility as well as suitable HLB values.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide novel antimicrobial polymeric bisbiguanides which have excellent water solubility, and reduced toxicity and irritability properties.
These and other objects and features of the invention will be made apparent from the following more particular description thereof.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the object of the invention, there is provided herein an imicrobial bisbiguanide polymers capped with alkylene pyrrolidonyl groups. These compounds have Formula I given below:
.. I ., N~ ~ N~ NE
~ -X -NH-C NH-C tH-Y-NH-~-NH-C ~N- X-N ~
where X is C2-C4 alkylene; e.g. ethylene, propylene and butylene;
Y is a bivalent bridging group selected from alkylene, or alkylene interrupted with oxygen, and also may incorporate cyclic nuclei which themselves may be saturated or unsaturated, and mixtures thereof; and n is at least 2, e.g. 2-15; preferably 4-11; and inorganic and organic acid addition salts thereof.
The presence of the water solubilizing, non-toxic, non-irritating alkylene pyrrolidonyl capping groups in the polymeric bisbiguanides of the invention enhances their water solubility and decreases their toxicity and irritability, as compared to related polymeric compounds which have cyano and/or amino end groups present.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
_ _ Antimicrobial bisbiguanide polymers capped with alkylene pyrrolidonyl groups may be made by a one-pot, 2-step process. The first step involves condensing sodium dicyanamide, or a bis-(cyanoguanido)alkane, with a salt of a suitable diamine, H2N-Y-NH2, where Y is a bridging group. For example, a diaminoalkane, or a diaminoalkane interrupted with an oxygen, may be used. Representative diamine compounds for use herein include (a) 1,6-diaminohexan~; (b) 1~12-diaminododecane;
~c) 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane; and (d) 1,2-bis(-2-aminoethoxy3 ethane; and mixtures thereof;
preferably in the form of their inorganic or organic acid addition salts, such as the hydrochloride, acetate, etc.
Such diamines have the formulas:
L~ 8) ~
~a) H2N (CH~)6 NH2 2HCl (b) H2N (C~2~ 12 NH2 2HCl (c) H2N-cH2-cH2-cH2-cH-cH2-NH2 2~Cl (d) H2N CH2~H2ocH2cH2ocH2cH2-NH2-2HCl A typical bis-(cyanoguanido)-alkane is 1,6-bis(cyanoguanido)hexane.
A blend of several diamine dihydrochlorides within a predetermined compositional range also may be used in this reaction in place of a single diamine. Such diamine mixtures will form polymers with mixed bridging groups having different hydrophilic-lipophilic balance ~HLB~
values. For example, alkylene bridging groups provide lipophilic activity while oxygen interrupted alkylene groups provide hydrophilic activity. Thus, diamine mixtures with both alkylene and oxygen interrupted alkylene groups, in a predetermined ratio, will provide polymeric compounds having selected HLB values characteristic of the particular mixture of diamines.
The condensation reaction in step one is carried out hetween the dicyanamide salt, or bis-cyanoguanidoalkane, and diamine dihydrochloride reactants using a small excess (about 5-10~) of the dicyanamide or bis-cyanoguanidoalkane compound over the stoichiometric molar ratio of 1:1 required to form the polymeric intermediate. This excess ensures a substantially complete cyano end grouping (no amino) in the condensation polymeric intermediates formed during the reaction. Preferably this step is carried out in two stages. The first stage involves a stoichiometric reaction 2 ~ r~ i~
between the reactants. The second stage involves addition of the desired excess of the dicyanamide or bis-cyanoguanidoalkane reactant.
The second step in the process comprises reacting the cyano end groups of the polymeric intermediate with an aminoalkylene pyrrolidone salt. This reaction forms the biguanido groups of the polymer product and provides the desired alkylene pyrrolidonyl capping groups. This step, also, is carried out with a small excess (about 5-10%) of the aminoalkylene pyrrolidone hydrochloride reactant over stoichiometry. Accordingly, substantially complete reaction of the cyano end groups in the polymeric intermediate with aminoalkylene pyrrolidone is achieved and the polymeric product does not contain any detectable amount of toxic (cyano) or irritating (amino) end groups.
The polymeric compounds of the invention may have the same or different Y bridging groups. Differen~ groups may be obtained from a mixture of different diamine dihydrochloride reactants, or by using a bis-cyanoguanidoalkane which has an alkane group different from the diamine dihydrochloride reactant.
The invention will now be illustrated by reference to the following examples.

PROPERTIES OF POLYMERS
The polymeric bisbiguanide compounds of the present invention exhibit the antimicrobial properties characteristic of the biguanide structure and are water soluble, non--toxic, and non-irritating. Such properties are particularly advantageous in use as surgical scrub compositions. In such use, the antimicrobial action of the polymer can be effected without absorption of the compound by the skin of the user.
The antimicrobial efficacy of the compounds herein are consistent with related biguanides, such as chlorhexidine, which have a minimum inhibitory concentration, (MIC), required to kill gram positive and gram negative bacteria, of about 10-100 ppm. However, the polymeric bisbiguanides of the invention are expected to be 2, ~ ,t~
less toxic and less irritating than chlorhexidine or related biguanide compounds containing cyano and/or amino end groups. Accordingly, they will require a somewhat higher MIC level, e.g. 100-250 ppm, to achieve similar activity. The somewhat lower antibacterial activity, however, is accompanied by increased safety in use.
Although the invention has been described with reference to certain embodiments thereof, it will be understood that changes and modifications may be made which are consistent with the skill of the art. Accordingly, it is intended to be bound by the appended claims only, in which:

The first step involves condensing sodium dicyanamide, or a bis-(cyanoguanido)alkane, with a salt of a suitable diamine, H2N-Y-NH2, where Y is a bridging group.

Such diamines have the formulas:

A blend of several diamine dihydrochlorides within a predetermined compositional range also may be used in this reaction in place of a single diamine. Such diamine mixtures will form polymers with mixed bridging groups having different hydrophilic-lipophilic balance ~HLB~
values. For example, alkylene bridging groups provide lipophilic activity while oxygen interrupted alkylene groups provide hydrophilic activity. Thus, diamine mixtures with both alkylene and oxygen interrupted alkylene groups, in a predetermined ratio, will provide polymeric compounds having selected HLB values characteristic of the particular mixture of diamines.
The condensation reaction in step one is carried out hetween the dicyanamide salt, or bis-cyanoguanidoalkane, and diamine dihydrochloride reactants using a small excess (about 5-10~) of the dicyanamide or bis-cyanoguanidoalkane compound over the stoichiometric molar ratio of 1:1 required to form the polymeric intermediate. This excess ensures a substantially complete cyano end grouping (no amino) in the condensation polymeric intermediates formed during the reaction. Preferably this step is carried out in two stages. The first stage involves a stoichiometric reaction 2 ~ r~ i~
between the reactants. The second stage involves addition of the desired excess of the dicyanamide or bis-cyanoguanidoalkane reactant.
The second step in the process comprises reacting the cyano end groups of the polymeric intermediate with an aminoalkylene pyrrolidone salt. This reaction forms the biguanido groups of the polymer product and provides the desired alkylene pyrrolidonyl capping groups. This step, also, is carried out with a small excess (about 5-10%) of the aminoalkylene pyrrolidone hydrochloride reactant over stoichiometry. Accordingly, substantially complete reaction of the cyano end groups in the polymeric intermediate with aminoalkylene pyrrolidone is achieved and the polymeric product does not contain any detectable amount of toxic (cyano) or irritating (amino) end groups.
The polymeric compounds of the invention may have the same or different Y bridging groups. Differen~ groups may be obtained from a mixture of different diamine dihydrochloride reactants, or by using a bis-cyanoguanidoalkane which has an alkane group different from the diamine dihydrochloride reactant.
