Abstract

A compound selected from the group consisting of a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein the dotted lines indicate an optionally endo or exo double bond, Y is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl of 2 to 18 carbon atoms and alkyl of 1 to 18 carbon atoms substituted with at least one halogen, X, X' and X.sub.1 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, alkenyl and alkynyl of 2 to 8 carbon atoms, aryl of 6 to 14 carbon atoms, aralkyl of 7 to 18 carbon atoms, acyl of a fatty acid and acyl of an .alpha. or .omega.-amino acid, n and/or n.sub.1 is 1 and R and/or R.sub.1 is the remainder of an amine or an .alpha. or .omega.-amino acid or n and/or n.sub.1 is 2 and R and R.sub.1 are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, aryl of 6 to 14 carbon atoms, aralkyl of 7 to 18 carbon atoms and ##STR2## R.sub.2 is alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or aryl of 6 to 14 carbon atoms and their non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable salts with acids or bases having antibacterial properties.
