The ampicillin derivatives represented by the general formula ##SPC1## Wherein R represents ##SPC2## Wherein R' represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, or an ethyl group and A and B each represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a methyl group, a methoxy group, a nitro group, or a halogen atom and further said B may combine with A on the carbon atom at the position to form ##SPC3## Group (where in Z represents --CH=N-- or --CH=CH-- and an R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a phenyl group, a methyl group, an ethyl group, a methoxy group, an ethoxyl group, a methylthio group, a trifluoromethyl group, a halogen atom, a nitro group, an acetyl group, an acetamido group, a ethoxycarbonyloxy group, or a methylsulfonyl group and further R.sub.2 and ##SPC4## May form a thiazole, isothiazolo, pyrrolo, furo, or benzo fused ring which may be substituted by an oxo group, a methyl group, or an acetyl group) and the dotted line means an arbitrary double bond, ##SPC5## Wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 each represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, ##SPC6## Wherein R.sup.5 represents a halogen atom, a methoxy group, a nitro group, or a hydroxyl group and R.sup.6 represents a hydrogen atom, a methoxy group, a halogen atom, a nitro group, or a hydroxyl group, or ##SPC7## Wherein R.sup.7 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group, Y represents O or S, and the dotted line means an arbitrary double bond, said substituent group, being bonded to the ampicillin molecule through --CO-- at the 2-position, 3-position, 5-position or 6-position when the oxo group (+0) is at the 4-portion and being bonded to the ampicillin molecule through the --CO-- group at the 2-position, 4-position, or 5-position when the oxy group is at the 6-position, and salts of the ampicillin derivatives. Those compounds are valuable as antibacterial agents.

Ampicillin derivatives substituted by heterocyclic acyl group

The oxofuryl ester derivatives of 6-(.alpha.-amino-phenylacetamido)penicillanic acid, 7-(.alpha.-aminophenylacetamido)-cephalosporanic acid, or 7-(.alpha. -aminophenylacetamide)desacetoxycephalosporanic acid represented by the general formula ##SPC1## Wherein A represents ##SPC2## Wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, which may be the same or different, each represents a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, said R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may form together a 1,3-butadienylene group, R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or an acetoxy group, and Means a single bond or a double bond, and acid addition salts of them. When those compounds are orally administered, they are readily absorbed by the intestines and show antibacterial activity by splitting their ester bonds. The rate of absorption of the compounds by the intestines are higher and the toxic property of them is less than those of known compounds similar to the above compounds.
