Sb. Ko et al., SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL-ACTIVITY OF C-3 PYRIDINYLETHENE-SUBSTITUTED CEPHALOSPORINS, Archives of pharmacal research, 19(5), 1996, pp. 411-415
A series of aminothiazolylcephalosporin derivatives (1a similar to 1c)
having pyridinylethenyl group at C-3 position was prepared starting f
rom phosphonium salt 3 and 2-, 3- or 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and the
antibacterial activity of these compounds was investigated. Among them
, 4-pyridinylethenyl derivative was more active than 2- and 3-pyridiny
lethenyl derivatives against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia col
