The compound (I) is a strongly active broad spectrum antibacterial against Gram positive and negative bacteria, especially against Streptococci, Diplococci, Enterococci, Escherlichia, klebsiella, Proteus, and other bacteria.
In the formula (I), A and B each is a hydrogen, organic or inorganic acyl, or A and B combined together are a diacyl group derived from a polybasic acid. The acyl group represented by A or B includes so-called side chains of known penicillins and cephalosporins.
Some of the preferable acyl groups for the groups A and B are included in the following:
1. ArCH.sub.2 CO--: where Ar is a phenyl, dihydrophenyl, or monocyclic heterocyclic aromatic group containing 1 to 4 hetero atoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and/or sulfur atoms, and optionally be substituted by an inert group e.g. an alkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, hydroxy, halogen, aminomethyl, or alkoxy containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
2. Ar--L--CH.sub.2 CO--: where Ar is as defined above, and L is an oxygen, sulfur, or imino;
3. Ar--CH(W)--CO--: where Ar is as defined above, and W is an azido, hydroxy, mercapto, carboxy, sulfo, or halogen, which can be protected by a manner known to those skilled in the art (e.g. esters for hydroxy, mercapto, carboxy, and sulfo);
4. Q--O--CO--: where Q is an easily removable optionally substituted hydrocarbon group. The group is known to those skilled in the art as amino-protecting groups (e.g. the group where Q is 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, isobornyl, tertiary butyl, 1-methylcyclohexyl, 2-alkoxy-tertiary butyl, benzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, or like groups);
5. alkanoyl containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms (e.g. formyl, acetyl, butyryl, octyl);
6. .omega.-aminoadipoyl group optionally protected at its carboxy or amino group (e.g. as esters, amides, etc.);
7. diacyl group derived from polybasic carboxylic acid containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms;
8. aromatic sulfenyl group optionally substituted by an inert group (e.g. o-nitrophenylsulfenyl, phenylsulfenyl); and
9. cyanoacetyl group.
Some of the more preferable groups ##STR4## for the compound (I) include the group Ar--CH.sub.2 CONH-- or Ar--CH(W)--CONH-- where Ar is a furyl, thienyl, pyrryl, oxazolyl, oxadiazolyl, oxatriazolyl, isoxyazolyl, thiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, thiatriazolyl, isothiazolyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, phenyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, triazinyl, or dihydrophenyl, optionally substituted by a hydroxy, halogen, aminomethyl or methyl; and W is a hydroxy.
When both of A and B are hydrogens, the compound (I) is useful as intermediates for the synthesis of other anti-bacterial compounds (I).
Y is a hydrogen or methoxy. Among them, hydrogen is more preferable than methoxy. The methoxy has better influence on the activity of the compound (I) against indole positive Proteus.
R is a hydrogen or a lower alkyl. For this group, hydrogen is better than the lower alkyl, among which methyl is the most preferable.
R' is a hydrogen, alkali metal (e.g. lithium, sodium, potassium), pharmaceutically acceptable organic base group (e.g. triethylammonium, dimethylammonioethanol, procain), or an easily removable protecting group. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts are salts effective and non-toxic at the used dose level (e.g. alkali metal salts or some organic base salts cited above). When the group R' is an easily removable protecting group, the compound (I) is useful as an intermediate, or in some cases as lower acyloxymethyl esters, phenacyl esters, and like groups, it is useful as a drug for oral or parenteral administration. Typical examples of the easily removable protecting groups are those forming an alkyl ester (e.g. methyl, tertiary butyl esters), halo-lower alkyl ester (e.g. 2-chloroethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl esters), lower acyl-lower alkyl ester (e.g. lower alkanoylmethyl, 2-acetylethyl, phenacyl, p-bromophenacyl, .alpha.-benzoylbenzyl esters), lower alkoxy-lower alkyl ester (e.g. methoxymethyl ester), lower acyloxy-lower alkyl ester (e.g. acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, N,N-dimethylglycyloxymethyl, benzoyloxymethyl esters), lower 1,1-dicarbo-lower alkoxyalkyl ester (e.g. dicarbomethoxymethyl, dicarbethoxymethyl esters), lower aryl ester (e.g. phenyl, pyridyl esters optionally substituted by an inert group e.g. nitro, methoxy, or lower alkyl), aralkyl ester (e.g. benzyl, benzhydryl, naphthylmethyl, and pyridylmethyl esters optionally substituted by an inert group), ester with a hydroxylamine or oxime derivative, or their equivalents, and other groups known to those skilled in the art.
The symbol m is an integer 1 or zero. The sulfoxide where m is 1 is useful as an intermediate for the synthesis of compound (I) or for the stabilization of the double bond at position 3.
The group Z is an optionally substituted guanylhydrazono group as defined above. When one or more of R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 is a hydrogen, the position of the double bond from the carbon to adjacent nitrogens are mobile from one to other nitrogens, and the structure of the products imply the presence of position isomers. Structure of the main or sole isomer depends on the nature of product and on the method of preparation.
The group Z can be in a form of salts with intra- or intermolecular acid groups.
Preferable groups Z are those where R.sup.3 and/or R.sup.4 is a hydrogen, and the group --NR.sup.1 R.sup.2 is that included in the following groups:
1. hydrazin-1-yl, 1-alkylhydrazin-1-yl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, 2-alkylhydrazin-1-yl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, nitroamino, hydroxyamino, or alkoxyamino containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
2. amino, alkylamino containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or alkenylamino containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms;
3. arylamino containing 6 to 9 carbon atoms, or aralkylamino containing 7 to 10 carbon atoms;
4. dialkylamino containing 2 to 12 carbon atoms, dialkenylamino containing 2 to 12 carbon atoms, diaralkylamino containing 14 to 18 carbon atoms, N-alkyl-N-alkoxyamino, or N-hydroxy-N-alkylamino containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or N-alkyl-N-arylamino containing 7 to 12 carbon atoms;
5. a group of the following formula: ##STR5## where L' is an oxygen, sulfur, methylene, imino, or acylimino containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms; n' and n" each is an integer or zero, provided n'+n" being 2 to 6; X is an alkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, oxo, oxy, or halogen; and q is zero or an integer 1 to 3;
6. a group of the following formula: ##STR6## where X, q, n' and n" are as defined above; and like groups.
Among these groups for the group --NR.sup.1 R.sup.2, the more preferable groups are these cited in (5) and (6) above, and dialkylamino containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms classified in (4) above.

EXAMPLE I-2.
To a solution of a 3-formyl-7-acylamino-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid hemiacetal lactone (II) in an organic solvent is added a solution of a guanylhydrazine (III) and acid or a salt of the guanylhydrazine (III) in water, and let react at room temperature. The reaction mixture is concentrated to give crystals which are collected by filtration, washed with water and ethyl acetate or ether, and dried to give the objective cephalosporin compound (I). When the concentration of reaction mixture does not give solid product, or when the obtained solid is in small amount, the reaction mixture or washed solution is extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract solution is washed with water, dried, and evaporated to give residue. Stirring of the residue in ether or petroleum ether gives desired cephalosporin compound (I).
The following Tables show the reaction conditions and the physical constants of the products. In the Tables, THF is for tetrahydrofuran, and ON is for overnight.
