Abstract:
A process for preparing an o-alkylated rapamycin derivative represented by the following general formula (1) is provided. The process includes the steps of reacting rapamycin with an alkyl triflate, purifying the resulting reaction product with a normal phase chromatograph and further purifying a purified product, which has been purified with the normal phase chromatograph, with a reverse phase chromatography wherein R represents an alkyl, arylalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, acyloxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, alkoxycarbonylaminoalkyl, acylaminoalkyl, or aryl.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a process for production of an O-alkylrapamycin derivative represented by the general formula (1) below by reaction between rapamycin and alkyl triflate in an organic solvent, characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of trialkylamine. (where R denotes alkyl, arylalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, acyloxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl, alkoxycarbonylaminoalkyl, acylaminoalkyl, or aryl.) This process is capable of producing O-alkylrapamycin derivative efficiently owing to improvement in reaction yields for O-alkylation.

Abstract:
A liposome preparation is provided. This liposome preparation is capable of stably encapsulating a drug which is unstable under an acidic condition, and such stable encapsulation is realized without detracting the effect realized by the modification of the membrane by a hydrophilic macromolecule such as stability in blood. More specifically, the liposome preparation comprises a unilamellar vesicle formed from a lipid bilayer comprising a phospholipid as its main membrane component, and an interior aqueous phase of the vesicle at a pH of up to 5. The liposome has a drug loaded therein, and the vesicle is modified with a hydrophilic macromolecule only on its exterior surface.
