CEPHALOSPORIN COMPOUNDS AND PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

Cephalosporin compounds represented by general formula (I), pharmacologically acceptable addition salts thereof, method for the production thereof, and medicinal uses thereof, wherein R<1> represents hydrogen or lower alkyl, and R<2> represents 1-alkanoyloxyalkyl or 1-alkoxycarbonyloxy-alkyl. These compounds and salts not only can be readily absorbed through the digestive tract to exhibit wide antibacterial activities in vivo in the form of the hydrolyzates thereof, but also have remarkable sweetness 10 to 400 times as high as that of sucrose. Therefore they are useful in preventing and treating infectious diseases by oral administration.
