title: Synthesis and biological activity of novel 3-(2-propenyl)-cephalosporins. II. Preparation of prodrugs.
abstract: Three prodrug esters (2a approximately 2c) of 3-(2-propenyl)cephem (1a) have been prepared and their oral absorption was determined in rats and mice. While pivaloyloxymethyl ester (2a) did not improve the oral absorption of the parent cephem 1a, [(1-methyl)ethoxycarbonyloxy]ethyl ester (2b) and (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)methyl ester (2c) improved oral absorption by a factor of five.
