Abstract: This invention relates to substituted benzenesulfonylureas and -thioureas, processes for their preparation, and uses of the pharmaceutical products based on these compounds. The substituted benzenesulfonylureas and -thioureas are of the formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 E, and y are as defined in the specification. The compounds of formula I have antiarrhythmic activity.

Abstract: Enterally absorbable diastereomers of 1-(isopropoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl (6R, 7R)-7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(Z)-(methoxyimino)acetamido]-3-(methoxyme thyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylate of the formula I ##STR1## and their physiologically acceptable salts and also diastereomerically pure salts of the compounds of the formula II ##STR2## where HX is a mono- or polybasic acid and where X is an inorganic or organic physiologically acceptable anion, and a process for the preparation of these compounds of the formula I or II, which comprises first precipitating the more sparingly soluble diastereomer of the formula IV in the mixing together of 1 equivalent of a solution of the diastereomer mixture of the formula III with 0.2-2 equivalents of a solution of the acid component HY and separating it off by filtration, then precipitating the more readily soluble diastereomer of the formula IV from the filtration solution, it being possible for the acid component HY to be identical or different in the consecutive steps.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 7-amino-3-methoxymethylceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid (I) from 7-amino-3-methoxymethylceph-3-em-4-carboxylic acid esters (II) or their salts by ester cleavage.The process comprises treating the compound II with formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid or a mixture of two of these acids in each case.

Abstract: Tetracyclic antibiotics and processes for their preparation .beta.-Lactam antibiotics of the formula I, and their pharmaceutically tolerable salts ##STR1## where X is (CH.sub.2).sub.0-2, CR(a)R(b), O, SO.sub.0-2 or NR(c),R1, R2 and R3 are a multiplicity of substituents, are outstanding antibiotics with remarkably good antibacterial activity both against gram-positive and against gram-negative microorganisms. They have a high stability to renal dehydropeptidase.
