The derivatives of substituted cephalosporanic acid according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to the present compounds) are the novel antibiotics of quite a new type in the sense that each of the present compounds has been obtained by chemically modifying a conventional antibiotic comprising a substituted cephalosporanic acid, and although the antibiotic property of the parent compound has been lost by the chemical modification, the once-lost antibiotic property is exhibited by the present compound after it is absorbed into living body of the host to which the present compound has been administered.
Antibiotics comprising substituted cephalosporanic acid, so-called, cephalosporins, are now broadly used because of their favorable antibiotic property and of their fairly high selective activity against noxious bacterial species, however, because of their activity also against useful bacterial species habitually present in living body of the host to which the antibiotic is to be administered, such an antibiotic has a serious demerit of disturbing the useful intestinal bacterial colonies when it is orally administered to the host resulting in causing colitis or diarrhea on the host in some cases.
The present inventors have found, after studying for obtaining antibiotics which do not have such a demerit and still exhibit the antibiotic activity against noxious bacteria, that the derivatives of substituted cephalosporanic acid, represented by the formula (I) are quite suitable for the object of the present inventors, and they have attained the present invention.
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide the derivatives of substituted cephalosporanic acid, which never disturb the intestinal bacterial colonies while exhibiting an excellent antibiotic activity against noxious bacteria.

Pharmacological properties of the present compounds were investigated as follows:
(a) Acute mammalian toxicity:
Acute mammalian toxicity of the present compound was determined by orally or intraperitoneally administering a series of suspensions of each of the present compounds in aqueous physiological saline solution to groups of ICR-JCL mice, and observing the toxic symptoms including mortality of the thus treated mice for 7 days. From the cumulative mortality and the concentrations of the aqueous suspension of each of the present compounds, LD.sub.50 value was obtained by Litchfield-Wilcoxson's graphical method of calculation.
As the result, both LD.sub.50 (oral) value and LD.sub.50 (intraperitoneal) value of each of the present compound were higher than 10 g/kg body weight of the mouse (average).
(b) Effect on the intestinal bacterial colonies:
After collecting the feces of a group of mice, each of the present compounds was orally administered thereto for 2 days at a daily dose of 100 mg/kg body weight and the feces were collected one day after the 2 days. Each portion of the two kinds of the feces was cultured at 25.degree. C. or 37.degree. C. in a variety of culture medium for one to five days to see the state of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Streptococcus species, a Lactobacillus species, Lactobacillus bifidus and a Bacteroides species in the culture medium.
As the result, no substantial difference was found between the number of cells of each bacterial species before the administration of each of the present compounds and that after the administration thereof, the result telling that each of the present compounds tested herein gives no effect on the intestinal bacterial colonies in living body of the mouse. (Refer to Example 19 for the details of the test.)
(c) Anti-bacterial activity (in vitro):
Minimum concentration of the present compound inhibiting the growth of the following bacteria was determined according to the standard procedures of Japan Society of Chemotherapy:
Escherichia coli IFO 12734 and
Staphylococcus aureus IAM 1011
(Refer to Example 20 for the details of the test including the thus obtained minimum concentration of each of the present compounds tested inhibiting the growth of the bacteria (referred to as MIC).)
(d) Antibacterial activity in the presence of rat-liver homogenate:
In order to preliminarily determine whether the present compound becomes actually antibiotic after being absorbed into living body of the host to which the present compound has been administered or not, the following test was carried out.
On each of the flat culture plates prepared by adding a cultured liquid containing 10.sup.8 cells/ml of the preliminarily cultured Staphylococcus aureus IAM 1011 to 50 times by weight of Mueller-Hinton's culture medium, a penicillin cup of 8 mm in diameter was placed, and after adding 0.1 ml of each of the aqueous dispersions of each of the present compounds at respective concentrations or 0.1 ml of each of the preliminarily cultured solution of rat-liver homogenate (containing a metabolism-activating enzyme) containing each of the present compounds at the same concentration as above into the penicillin cup, the flat culture plates were incubated for 18 hours at 37.degree. C. Thereafter, the diameter of the growth-inhibiting circle appearing around the cup was measured. (Refer to Example 21 for the details of the test.)
As the result, when the value of the diameter of growth-inhibiting circle due to the substituted cephalosporanic acid used as the starting material for producing the present compound was represented by 100, the value of the diameter of growth-inhibition only due to each of the present compound (that is, without containing the preliminarily cultured rat-liver homogenate) was zero, and on the other hand, the value of the diameter of growth-inhibiting circle due to each of the present compounds plus the preliminarily cultured rat-liver homogenate was 1 to 66.
The result strongly suggests that each of the present compounds will become antibitic after entering into living body of the host to which each of the present compounds has been administered.
(e) Effectiveness in treating experimental infectious disease due to bacteria:
In order to confirm the above-mentioned suggestion concerning the in vivo activation of the present compound to be antibiotic, the following experimental treatment was carried out on the artificially infected animals by the respective two bacterial species. (Refer to Example 22 for the details of the test.) As the result, while all the twenty mice artificially infected with each of the two bacterial species and not-treated with any of the present compound died on the second day of inoculation, more than 40% of the twenty mice artificially infected with each of the two bacterial species and administered with each of the three present compounds were alive even after 7 days of inoculation.
As will be seen in the above-mentioned pharmacological properties of the present compounds, it may be said that the present compounds are safe for medical use and are quite the new type of an antibiotic substance in the sense that the present compounds themselves do not exhibit any anti-bacterial properties as they are, however, they are activated to be antibiotic after being absorbed in living body of the host probably by the action of a metabolism-activating enzyme in living body, particularly in the blood.
Accordingly, it is rationally considered that the present compound is converted to an antibiotic substance of the chemical structure closely related to that of the substituted cephalosporanic acid which is used as the starting material in the present invention and is itself an antibiotic, and the present compound can be used as an antibiotic in the same field in which cephalosporins are now used, and is actually effective against bacteria in a broad range including gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
The present compound can be used in the form of pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form thereof comprising at least one of the present compounds as the active ingredient, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, which can be administered orally, injectionally or rectally. Particularly, oral administration may be carried out in the form of powders, granules, pellets and ampoules. The adjuvant includes fillers, extenders, binding agents, wetting agents, disintegrators, dissolution-retarders, accelerators for re-absorption, adsorbing carriers, lubricators, etc., and as the definite instance thereof, starch, mannitol, silicic acid, derivatives of cellulose, gelatin, alginate salts, glycerol, agar, calcium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, paraffin, quaternary ammonium compound, glycerol monostearate, kaolin, bentonite, talc, potassium stearate, magnesium stearate and polyethylene glycol may be mentioned. In addition, the above-mentioned pharmaceutical composition may take the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable emulsion, pharmaceutically acceptable solution in a solvent or suspension.
Suppository comprising the present compound may contain polyethylene glycol, fatty acids or esters thereof.
Syrups and elixirs comprising the present compound contain an inert diluent such as water or paraffin and can be used as a liquid composition suitable for oral administration.
Compositions comprising the present compound used for injection should be aseptic and may be an aqueous or nonaqueous solution, suspension or emulsion, and may contain, for instance, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and olive oil.
In the case where the present compound is used in the form of a pharmaceutical composition as an active ingredient, the content thereof may be 0.01 to 99.5% by weight, usually 0.1 to 90% by weight.
The present compound is used in the same field in which the so-called cepharosporin antibiotics are used, and is effective in treatments of infectious disease caused by bacteria at a daily dosage of 0.1 to 10 g per an adult human patient, which is divided and portionally taken in several times a day, of course depending on the degree of infection and the state of the patient.

EXAMPLE 22
Effectiveness of the present compound in treatment of an experimental infectious disease in mouse
(1) Disease due to infection of Escherichia coli
Each mouse of the two groups (20 animals/group) of ddY SPE mice was inoculated with 1.4.times.10.sup.8 cells of Escherichia coli IFO 12734 intraperitoneally, and then, each mouse of the one of the two groups was administered orally with one of the present compounds, namely the compound produced in Example 5, 10 or 13, two times just after and 4 hours after the inoculation, while the 20 mice of the other group were not administered. On observing the two groups of SPE mice for 7 days after the inoculation, it was found that while all the inoculated and not-administered mice died within the 7 days, (1) more than 60% of the mice administered with the compound produced in Example 5 were alive on the 7th day of inoculation, (2) more than 80% of the mice administered with the compound produced in Example 10 and (3) more than 80% of the mice administered with the compound produced in Example 13 were alive on the 7th day of inoculation.
(2) Disease due to infection of Staphylococcus aureus
Each mouse of the two groups (20 animals/group) of ddY SPE mice was inoculated with 2.3.times.10.sup.8 cells of Staphylococcus aureus IAM 1011 intraperitoneally, and then, each mouse of the one of the two groups was administered orally with one of the present compounds, namely the compound produced in Example 5, 10 or 13, two times just after and 4 hours after the inoculation, while the 20 mice of the other group were not administered. On observing the two groups of SPE mice for 7 days after the inoculation, it was found that while all the mice inoculated and not-administered died within 3 days after the inoculation, (1) more than 65% of the mice administered with the compound produced in Example 5, (2) more than 85% of the mice administered with the compound produced in Example 10 and (3) more than 60% of the mice administered with the compound produced in Example 13 were alive on the 7th day of inoculation.
