In a second aspect of the invention there is provided an antibacterial composition for medical use comprising as an active ingredient a cephalosporin represented by the formula: [I] and wherein represents an acetoxy, -(1- methyl - 1,2,3,4 - tetrazolyl) thio or 2-(5- methyl - 1,3,4 - thiadiazolyl) thio group j. r2 represents a hydrogen atom, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, characterized in that said composition additionally includes a p - lactamase - inhibiting compound having a β - lactam ring selected from a clavulanic acid, Cefoxitin, and 7b - (a - cyanomethylthioacetamido) - 7a - methoxy - 3 10 J> - (1 - methyl - 1,2,3,4 - tetrazolyl) thiomethyl] - Δ3 - cephem - 4 - carboxylic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any one of the B - lactamase - inhibiting compounds.
The cephalosporins represented by the formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are developed by the present inventors, are useful substances having excellent characteristics such as a broad antibacterial spectrum.
The present inventors have found as a result of extensive studies that when a cephalosporin represented by the formula [I] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is mixed with a 0-lactamase-inhibiting compound having a 0-lactam ring, the latter makes it difficult for the cephalosporins represented by the formula [I] and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof to be affected by 0-lactamase, and the resulting composition exhibits a synergistic effect on the antibacterial activity.
An object of this invention is to provide an 10 antibacterial composition having .a pronounced, antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria existing even in a large population, especially against Escherichia coli, Proteus species, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Another object of this invention is to provide an antibacterial composition active to those pathogenic bacteria which are resistant to conventional penicillins or cephalosporins.
A further object of this invention is to provide an antibacterial composition capable of enhancing the bactericidal speed and therapeutic effectiveness.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description.
The above-mentioned pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those which are commonly used as cephalosporin salts, including salts with metals such as sodium, potassium and calcium, ammonium salt and salts with amines such as procaine, N,N-dibenzylethylenediamine and the like.
The β-lactamase-inhibiting compounds having a β-lactam ring used in this invention include β-lactamase inhibiting penicillins and cephalosporins and clavulanic acids. The β-lactamase-inhibiting penicillins and cephalosporins are, for example, Cloxacillin, Dicloxacillin, Oxacillin, Flucloxacillin, Methicillin, Cefoxitin and 7B-(a-cyanomet hylthioacetamido)-7a-methoxy-3-[5-(1o methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrazolyl)thiomethyl]-Δ -cephem-1!carboxylic acid and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. These pharmaceutically acceptable salts have the same meanings as mentioned above as to salts of the cephalosporins represented by the formula [X].
And the clavulanic acids include, foi’ example, the compound which is represented by the following formula and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: H These pharmaceutically acceptable' salts have the same meanings as mentioned above as to salts of the cephalosporins represented by the formula [I].
The suitable ratio of the cephalosporin represented by the formula [I] to the β-lactamase-inhibiting compound having a β-lactam ring in the composition of this invention varies to some degrees depending on the type of target pathogenic bacteria or symptoms, but is generally in the range of form 1 : 0.04 to. 1 : 5 (in terms of weight ratio or potency ratio), preferably 1 : 0.1 to 1 : 1.5 (in terms of weight ratio or potency ratio).
In this invention, the type of 6-lactam.ase inhibiting compounds having a β-lactam ring may be properly selected according to particular pathogenic bacteria.
The antibacterial composition for medical use according to this invention is used preferably as a parenteral injection, although it can be used in other dosage forms and through other administration routes similarly to known antibiotics such as conventional penicillins and cephalosporins. It can also be used in the form of ointment and preparation for rectal administration.
When used as an injection, the antibacterial composition of this invention can be mixed with solid or liquid carriers or diluents which are conventionally used in injections of known antibiotics. Of the carriers, sterilized water is most frequently used.
The antibacterial composition of this invention may, of course, be in the form of powder which can be dissolved in suitable vehicles such as sterilized water, glucose solution and physiological saline solution for use as an injection.
In administering the antibacterial composition of this invention as an injection to man, Intravenous injection (including drip infusion) or intramuscular injection is generally suitable.
The dosage of the antibacterial composition of this invention is properly selected in accordance with the ratio between the cephalosporin represented by the formula [I] and the β-lactamase-inhibiting compound having a g-lactam ring, age of the patient, and the type or symptoms of the Infectious disease. The suitable dose of an injection ranges generally from 0.5 to 10 g potency per day for adults, but the dose ic not limited thereto.
In administering the antibacterial composition of this invention as an intramuscular injection, it can be used together with those drugs which are usually used in injections such as analgesics, for example, lidocaine hydrochloride.
