pubmed-article:2737957 | pubmed:abstractText | The synthesis and biological evaluation of D-forphenicinol-cephalosporins are described. 7-Amino-3-(substituted)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid esters were coupled with N-tert-butoxy-carbonyl-D-forphenicinol derivatives. Most of cephalosporin analogs in this series had good antibacterial activities and were well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract in mice. Among them, 7-(mono-O-methyl-D-forphenicinol)-3-propenyl analog showed the most significant result in biological evaluations. | lld:pubmed |
