Abstract
To improve the aqueous solubility of anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus cephalosporin RWJ-333441 for parenteral administration, acyl derivatives of the C-3 primary amino group were prepared and evaluated for solubility, cleavage in serum in vitro, and conversion to RWJ-333441 in vivo. Improved solubility at physiologic pH values and release of RWJ-333441 in vitro and in vivo were observed for several prodrugs, including the aspartate derivative RWJ-333442.Entities:
