Structure-activity relationships for antimicrobial cephalosporins.
The antimicrobial activity of a series of 7-mandelamido-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids was studied using the Free-Wilson method. Electron-withdrawing and lipophilic properties of the substituents are shown to play an important role in the activity.
