摘要 |
Cephalosporin compounds substituted in the 7-position by a 2-(5- or 6-membered heterocyclic)-2-oximinoacetylamino group and in the 3-position with an imidazolo, oxazolo or thiazolopyridinium-methyl group are broad spectrum antibiotics highly effective in combating bacterial infections of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. The cephalosporins are best prepared by reacting a silylated 7-[2-(heterocyclic)-2-oximinoacetylamino]-3-iodomethyl-3-cephem-4-carb oxylic acid with an imidazolopyridine, and oxazolopyridine or a thiazolopyridine. Pharmaceutical formulations comprising a compound of the invention and a method for treating bacterial infections comprising their use are also provided.
