A penam derivative represented by the following general formula or a salt thereof: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an amino-protecting group or an acyl group; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group; R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkoxy group, a lower alkylthio group or a formamido group; R.sup.4 represents a protected or unprotected carboxy group or a craboxylato group; R represents a group of the formula, --NHR.sup.5 or --NR.sup.5 R.sup.6 (in which R.sup.5 and R.sup.6, which may be the same or different, represent protected or unprotected hydroxyl groups, cyano groups, sulfo groups, or unsubstituted or substituted lower alkyl, aryl, acyl, carbamoyl, sulfamoyl, lower alkylsulfonyl or heterocyclic groups) or a group of the formula, --N.dbd.CR.sup.7 R.sup.8 (in which R.sup.7 and R.sup.8, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen atoms or protected or unprotected carboxyl groups, cyano groups or unsubstituted or substituted lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl, aryl, amino, acyl, acyloxy, carbamoyl, carbamoyloxy, sulfamoyl, lower alkylthio, ureido or heterocyclic groups, or R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 may form a cycloalkene or a heterocyclic ring with the carbon atom to which R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are attached); and n represents 1 or 2. The above penam derivative or its salt is very effective as antibacterial agents.

Penam derivatives and salts thereof, and antibacterial agent comprising

This invention relates to a novel process for producing a useful cephalosporin which comprises reacting a thiolo ester compound with a 7-aminocephalosporin in the presence of boron trifluoride or a complex compound thereof. This process enables the cephalosporin to be produced with a high purity in a high yield.

Novel process for producing cephalosporins

A 7.alpha.-methoxycephalosporin represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a carboxyl-protecting group; R.sup.2 represents an organic group linked to the carbon atom through an oxygen or sulfur atom; R.sup.3 represents a lower alkyl group; n is 0, 1 or 2; A represents a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; and B represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkadienyl or heterocyclic group, and a salt thereof. These compounds have a broad antibacterial spectrum, high resistance to .beta.-lactamase produced from bacteria, and an effective antibacterial activity against clinical isolates of bacteria.

7.alpha.-Methoxycephalosporins

A 7.alpha.-methoxycephalosporin represented by the general formula and a salt thereof: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a carboxyl-protecting group; R.sup.2 represents an organic group linked to the carbon atoms through an oxygen or sulfur atom; R.sup.3 represents a lower alkyl group; n is 0, 1 or 2; A represents a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; and B represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group. These compounds have a broad antibacterial spectrum and high resistance to .beta.-lactamase produced from bacteria, and are well absorbed in a living body.

7.alpha.-methoxycephalosporins and pharmaceutical composition comprising

Novel 7.alpha.-methoxy-cephalosporins and non-toxic salts thereof, which contain a di-oxo-piperazinyl-carbonylamino group in molecule. These compounds are valuable antibacterial compounds for use in mammals including man. This disclosure relates to such compounds and methods for producing the same.

Substituted

Novel 7.alpha.-methoxy-cephalosporins and non-toxic salts thereof, which contain a di-oxo-piperazinylcarbonylamino group in molecule. These compounds are valuable antibacterial compounds for use in mammals including man. This disclosure relates to such compounds.
