Abstract: Erythromycins, particularly ones with novel C-13 substituents R1 (e.g. C3-C6 cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl groups) are prepared by fermenting suitable organisms in the presence of R1CO2H. A preferred organism is Saccharopolyspora erythraea preferably containing an integrated plasmid capable of directing synthesis of desired compounds.

Abstract: Isoxazole-sulfonamide endothelin antagonists of formula (I) below having good affinity for endothelin receptors and selectivity for ETA over ETB are described herein. Such compounds are useful in the treatment of conditions mediated by endothelin, in particular, conditions mediated by endothelin ETA.
