Novel substances having carcinostatic and immunostimulating activity, which are obtained from a culture or its supernatant fluid prepared by culturing bacteria belonging to Fusobacterium genus. Said substances are useful for the treatment of cancerous diseases lower warm-blooded animals. This disclosure concerns such substances and a process for preparing the same and a carcinostatic agent containing the same.

Novel substances having carcinostatic and immunostimulating activity,

Novel TF-2 substances having antitumor and immunostimulating activity, which are obtained from a culture or its supernatant fluid prepared by culturing bacteria belonging to Fusobacterium genus. Said substances are useful for the treatment of cancerous diseases of the mammals including human beings. This disclosure concerns such substances and a process for preparing the same and an antitumor agent containing the same.

Novel substances having antitumor and immunostimulating activity,

This invention relates to a process for producing a TF-500 substance having carcinostatic and immunostimulating activities, which comprises subjecting organisms belonging to the Fusobacterium genus to extraction treatment with a dialkyl sulfoxide and obtaining said TF-500 substance from the resulting extract.

Process for preparing substance having carcinostatic and

Novel TF-2 substances having carcinostatic and immunostimulating activity, which are obtained from a culture or its supernatant fluid prepared by culturing bacteria belonging to Fusobacterium genus. Said substances are useful for the treatment of cancerous diseases of the mammals including human being. This disclosure concerns such substances and a process for preparing the same and a carcinostatic agent containing the same.

Substances having carcinostatic and immunostimulating activity

A composition comprising a component obtained by deproteinizing an extract from the poison pouch contents of bee has an immunostimulating activity, a carcinostatic activity, an effect of enhancing the antibacterial activity of an antibacterial substance and an effect of enhancing the carcinostatic activity of a carcinostatic substance. This invention is directed to a carcinostatic, immunostimulating and antibacterial agent comprising said composition.

Pharmaceutical composition comprising extract from poison pouch contents

An antibacterial composition for medical use comprising a cephalosporin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a .beta.-lactamase-inhibiting compound having a .beta.-lactam ring. The composition exhibits synergistic effect which is much greater than the sum of antibacterial effects of each component used alone.

Antibacterial composition for medical use

Novel penicillins and cephalosporins and non-toxic salts thereof, which contain a mono- or di-oxo- or thioxo-piperazino(thio)carbonylamino group in molecule. These compounds are valuable antibacterial compounds for use in mammals including man. This disclosure relates to such compounds and a process for the preparation thereof.

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 method for treating a host mammal having a decreased immunity, comprising administering to said host mammal an immunostimulating effective amount of the deproteinized extract from the poison pouch contents of bee B-T, is disclosed.

Novel penicillins and cephalosporins and non-toxic salts thereof, which contain a mono- or di-oxo- or thioxo-piperazino(thio)carbonylamino group have been prepared. These compounds are valuable anti-bacterial compounds for use in mammals including man. A process for the preparation of the compounds has also been discovered.

Novel penicillins

An antibacterial composition for medical use comprising 6-[D(-)-.alpha.-(4-ethyl-2,3-dioxo-1-piperazinylcarbonylamino)phenylacetam ido]penicillanic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a .beta.-lactamase-inhibiting penicillin or cephalosporin. The composition exhibits synergistic effect which is much greater than the sum of antibacterial effects of each component used alone.

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 penicillins and non-toxic salts thereof, which contain a mono- or di-oxo- or thioxo-piperazino(thio)carbonylamino group have been prepared. These compounds are valuable antibacterial compounds for use in mammals including man. A process for the preparation of the compounds has also been discovered.
