Claims
- 1. A cephem compound of the formula
- wherein
- R.sub.2 is hydrogen or alkyl with 1-4 C atoms, substituted by alkyl with 1-4 C atoms, cycloalkyl with 3-8 C atoms, alkoxycarbonyl with 1-4 alkyl C atoms, carboxyl, cyano, or carbamoyl;
- R.sub.3 is hydrogen, a physiologically acceptable ester group wherein said ester group is selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1-12 straight-chain or branched alkyl ester, substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.2-12 straight-chain branched alkenyl ester or substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.3-12 straight-chain alkynyl ester, or a physiologically acceptable cation; and
- A is hydrogen, alkoxy with 1-4 C atoms, alkoxycarbonyl with 1-4 alkyl C atoms, alkenyloxy with 3-6 C atoms, halogen, or --CH.sub.2 Y; and
- wherein
- Y is hydrogen, halogen or the radical of a nucleophilic compound, the nucleophilic compound being selected from the group consisting of acyloxy; hydroxyl; alkyloxy; amino; alkylamino; dialkylamino; mercapto; a pyrdinium; quinolinium; isoquinolinium; carbamoyloxy; carbamoylthio; azido; --SR.sub.5 wherein R.sub.5 denotes an aliphatic acyl, alkyl or optionally substituted phenyl radical or optionally substituted 5-membered heterocyclic ring with (a) a sulfur or oxygen atom and 1-4 nitrogen atoms or (b) 2 to 4 nitrogen atoms or a 5-membered heterocyclic ring which is a furanyl or an optionally substituted 6-membered ring with 1-3 nitrogen atoms.
- 2. The cephem compound of claim 1, wherein R.sub.2 is alkyl with 1-4 C atoms, substituted by alkyl with 1-4 C atoms, cycloalkyl with 3-8 C atoms, alkoxycarbonyl with 1-4 alkyl C atoms, carboxyl, cyano, or carbamoyl.
- 3. The cephem compound of claim 2, wherein the nucleophilic compound is pyridine, quinoline, or isoquinoline.
- 4. A method for combating a bacterial infection in a patient suffering from such an infection, which method comprises administering to said patient a bactericidally effective amount of a compound as in claim 1.
- 5. A pharmaceutical composition for combating bacterial infections, said composition comprising a bactericidally effective amount of a compound as in claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor.
- 6. The cephem compound of claim 2, wherein the nucleophilic compound is a 5-membered heterocyclic ring selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted thiadazolyl, thiazlyl, tetrazolyl, and furanyl, or a 6-membered heterocyclic ring which is an optionally substituted triazinyl.
