K. Obi et al., SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL-ACTIVITY OF A NOVEL CLASS OF CEPHALOSPORINS WITH A OXADIAZOLYL HYDROXYPYRIDONE MOIETY AT C-7, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(23), 1995, pp. 2777-2782
Synthesis and biological properties of a novel class of cephalosporins
with a hydroxy-4-pyridon-6-yl)1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]thioet group at C-
7 position are described. Among them, the compounds having a pyridiniu
mthiomethyl group at C-3 position were found to possess high in vine p
otency and showed excellent in vivo efficacy against both S. aureus an
d P. aeruginosa.
