A novel compound according to the present invention can be obtained by reacting a compound having the formula: ##STR7## wherein Y represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, an alkoxy group or an alkyl group; M represents a protective group for a hydroxyl or carboxyl group; Z represents a group ##STR8## or a group ##STR9## in which D is a hydrogen atom, an acyloxy group, a carbamoyloxy group or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic thio group
with a halogenating agent to obtain an iminohalide compound having the formula ##STR10## wherein X represents a halogen atom, and Y, M and Z have the same meanings as defined above
treating thus obtained compound (III) with a strong base possessing a pKa value of above 10 and then reacting with a compound having the formula
A -- CH .dbd. CH -- B (IV)
wherein A represents a cyano group, a carboalkoxy group or a nitro group and B represents a hydrogen atom, a carboalkoxy group, a cyano group or a nitro group.
Among the benzoylpenicillin or benzoylcephalosporin compounds of the above formula (II) which may be used as the starting compounds in the present invention, there can preferably be used the compounds wherein Y represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group or a nitro group; Z represents a group ##STR11## or a group ##STR12## in which D is a hydrogen atom, an acetoxy group, a carbamoyloxy group, a (1-methyl-1 H-tetrazole-5-yl) thio group, a 5-methyl-3,4-thiadiazole-thio group and so on; and M represents a hydroxyl group, a methoxy group, a paramethoxybenzyloxy group, a bromophenacyloxy group, a benzhydryloxy group, a trimethylsilyloxy group, a chlorodimethylsilyloxy group and so on.
The first step of the present process is a method in which a compound of the above formula (II) is subjected to reaction with a halogenating agent to give an iminohalogenide represented by the formula (III). This step may be illustrated by the following formulas. ##STR13## wherein M, X, Y and Z have the same meanings as defined above.
This step consists of a reaction by which a compound having an amide group at the 6- 7-position of the penam or cephem nucleus respectively is converted into an imino compound having a halogen atom.
In this reaction, the above compound (II) is reacted after dissolved in an inert solvent such as, for example, chloroform, methylene chloride, dichloroethane, etc., with a halogenating agent. As the halogenating agents employed phosphorus halogenide, sulfur halogenide, etc., may be mentioned. Particularly, phosphorus halogenide such as phosphorus pentachloride can most appropriately be used. The reaction may be conducted at a temperature of -50.degree. to 40.degree. C. Good results can be achieved when the reaction is conducted in the presence of a base such as organic tertiary amine, etc., e.g., quinoline, pyridine or dimethyl aniline.
In order to separate thus produced iminohalogenide having the above formula (III), the reaction mixture is subjected to evaporation in vacuo to remove the solvent.
In the second step, the iminohalogenide obtained in the first step is treated with a base such as triethylamine, triethylenediamine, 1,5-diazabicyclo[3,4,0]nonene-5 (DBN), 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]undecene-7 (DBU), etc.
As the most preferable bases employed in this reaction there may be mentioned 1,5-diazabicyclo[3,4,0]nonene-5 (hereinafter referred to as DBN) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undecene-7 (hereinafter referred to as DBU). It is considered that the iminohalogenide of the above formula (III) is converted into a 1,3-dipolar derivative by this treatment. As the solvents which may be used in this reaction, there may be mentioned hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc., and ethers such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, diisopropyl ether, etc. The reaction may be conducted at a temperature of -30.degree. to 30.degree. C, usually of -10.degree. to 10.degree. C. The time required for the reaction may be 10 to 60 minutes. The thus produced 1,3-dipolar derivative is provided, without isolation from the reaction mixture, for the reaction with a compound of the formula (IV) which possesses a double bond in the molecule. As the compounds of the formula (IV), there may be mentioned acrylonitrile, esters of acrylic acid, esters of maleic acid, esters of fumaric acid, nitrovinyl compounds, etc.
Since this reaction is an addition reaction, it proceeds easily immediately after adding the compound of the formula (IV) the the reaction mixture obtained in the foregoing step to give the penicilline or cephalosporin derivatives of the formula (I). After reaction, the desired compound is obtained by separation according to an ordinary method. When the desired compound is crystallized, the crystal is collected by filtration and recrystallized with a suitable solvent such as methanol, etc., to give a pure product. When the compound is not crystallizable, it is purified by treatment such as chromatography, etc.
This step is illustrated as follows. ##STR14## wherein A, B, M, X, Y and Z have the same meanings as defined above.
The compound of the formula (I) obtained according to the procedure mentioned above, in which M is not a hydroxyl group, is converted into a free carboxylic acid after eliminating a protective group or into a suitable nontoxic salt thereof, e.g., sodium or potassium salt, etc.
Among the compounds of the present invention, which are represented by the formula (I), there may be preferred the compounds wherein Y represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkoxy group or a nitro group; Z represents a group ##STR15## or a group ##STR16## in which D is a hydrogen atom, an acetoxy group, a carbamoyloxy group, a (1-methyl-1H-tetrazole-5-yl)thio group or a 5-methyl-3,4-thiadiazolethio group; A represents a cyano group, a carboalkoxy group, or a nitro group; B represents a hydrogen atom, a cyano group or a carboalkoxy group; M represents a hydroxyl group, a methoxy group, a paramethoxybenzyloxy group, a bromophenacyloxy group, a benzyhydryloxy group, a trimethylsilyloxy group or a chlorodimethylsilyloxy group.
All of the above compounds obtained according to the present invention possess interferon inducibility at a low concentration thereof and can accordingly be used as valuable ingredients for antiviral pharmaceuticals.
In practical application of the present compounds as antiviral agents, they may be administered to patients via either oral or parenteral route, preferably orally or though subcutaneous, intravenous or intramuscular injection, in various pharmaceutical preparations commonly employed for antiviral agents in the art. The present compound may be usually given in a daily dosage ranging from 50 mg to 7 g for adults, preferably 100 mg to 6 g, in a single dose or divided forms, but the dose of the present compound may be optionally varied and determined by any physicians, taking into consideration on the type and severity of a disease, the body weight and age of a patient and other factors.

1. Test in Vitro
A spleen of a 6-week-old mouse was taken out and cut into strips, which were further mashed and suspended in a phosphate buffer solution. After centrifugation, the spleen cell was further suspended in Eagle's minimum essential medium (EMEM). The number of cells was counted and the suspension was diluted with EMEM so as to obtain a suspension containing 6 .times. 10.sup.8 cells per ml. In each of glass petri dishes, 0.5 ml of the thus prepared suspension was placed. After 2.5 ml of each of diluted solutions having various concentrations of the present compound, 3'-cyano-2'-phenyl-2'-pyrroline-5'-spiro-6-penicillanic acid methyl ester was added to each of the above-mentioned petri dishes to bring the compound into contact with spleen cells of a mouse, the mixture was incubated for 20 hours. The supernatants obtained after centrifugation of the incubated mixtures were submitted to the measurement of interferon titre. The measurement was conducted by using a system of L929 cell and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Interferon titre was indicated as the reciprocal of the highest dilution of the sample which reduced plaque number by 50%. The results are shown in the following table.

EXAMPLE 12
3'-Cyano-2'-p-chlorophenyl-2'-pyrroline-5'-spiro-6-penicillanic acid
The reaction was effected in the same manner as in Example 11 except that p-chlorobenzoylpenicillin p-bromophenacyl ester was employed instead of the benzoylpenicillin p-bromophenacyl ester, thereby yielding 3'-cyano-2'-p-chlorophenyl-2'-pyrroline-5'-spriro-6-penicillanic acid p-bromophenacyl ester as an oily substance in a 32% yield.
