title: Esters of cephalosporins. Part III. Separation and properties of the R and S isomers of the 1-acetoxyethyl ester of cefuroxime.
abstract: Two separation methods for the R and S isomers of the 1-acetoxyethyl ester of cefuroxime [I] were evaluated. Physico-chemical and biological properties of these isomers were studied. It was found that the R isomer after oral administration to rats is absorbed better and faster than the isomer S.
