The comparative stability of different types of penicillin and cephalosporin N-pyrryl derivatives.
The kinetics of the decomposition of potassium salts of 4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0.]heptane-3,3-dimethyl-6-amino-7-oxo-N- [2(1H-pyrrolyl)acetyl] -2-carboxylic acid (6R, trans), 4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-3,3-dimethyl-6-amino-7-oxo-N-[2-phenyl - 2(1H-pyrrolyl)acetyl]-2-carboxylic acid (6R, trans), 5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0.]oct-2-ene-3- [(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-N-[2(1H-pyrrolyl)acetyl]-2-ca rbo xylic acid (6R, trans), 5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0.]oct-2-ene-3- [(acetyloxy)methyl]-7-amino-8-oxo-N-[2-phenyl-2(1H-pyrrolyl)acetyl ]- 2-carboxylic acid (6R, trans), 5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0.]oct-2-ene-7-amino-3-methyl-8-oxo-N- [2(1H-pyrrolyl)-acetyl]-2-carboxylic acid (6R, trans) and 5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0.]oct-2-ene-7-amino-3-methyl-8-oxo- N-[2-phenyl-2(1H-pyrrolyl)acetyl]-2-carboxylic acid (6R, trans), in aqueous solution at 37 degrees C and at ionic strength of 0.5 mol.l-1 have been studied over the 2.3-11.5 pH range. In all cases, the hydrolysis of these compounds is subject to acid-base catalysis and, in some instances, to a general catalysis by various species present in the buffer solutions. The experimental results have been analyzed and discussed in relation to the hydrolytic mechanisms.
