  • Patent number: 4956479
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel derivatives of LL-F28249 compounds. These LL-F28249 compounds preferably are derived via a controlled microbiological fermentation of Streptomyces cyaneogriseus subspecies noncyanogenus having deposit accession number NRRL 15773. The 23-deoxy-27-halo(chloro) derivatives have the 23-hydroxy group of the LL-F28249 compounds replaced by hydrogen and a halogen such as chlorine in the 27-position with the double bond shifted to the 26,26'-position. The novel derivatives of the present invention possess activity as anthelmintic, ectoparasitic, insecticidal, acaricidal and nematicidal agents and are useful in areas of human and animal health and in agricultural crops. Compositions containing the present compounds also are presented herein.

  • Patent number: 4886829
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel 23-oxo (keto) and 23-imino derivatives of certain C(26,27)-epoxy- and C(14,15;26,27)-diepoxy-LL-F28249 compounds. The LL-F28249 compounds (collectively) are isolates from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces cyaneogriseus subspecies noncyanogenus having deposit accession no. NRRL-15773. The derivatives are obtained by oxidation of the 23-hydroxy group of 5-O-silylated-C(26,27)-epoxy and C(14,15;26,27)diepoxy-LL-F28249 compounds, followed by desilylation and derivatization with amino compounds. The novel compounds have anthelmintic, ectoparasiticidal, nematicidal, insecticidal and acaricidal activity and are, therefore, useful in the treatment of infections in warm-blooded animals and infestations in agricultural crops. Compositions containing the present compounds as active ingredients thereof also are presented.

  • Patent number: 4886830
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel derivatives of LL-F28249 compounds wherein the 23-hydroxyl group is replaced with hydrogen and the double bond at the C(26,27)-position is epoxidized concomitant with or without epoxidation of the double bond at the C(14,15)-position. The LL-F28249 compounds (collectively) are isolates from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces cyaneogriseus subspecies noncyanogenus having deposit accession number NRRL 15773. The compounds of the present invention are derived by regioselective epoxidation of 5,23-O,O-bissilylated LL-F28249 compounds at low temperature, desilylation, re-silylation of the 5-hydroxyl group, thiocarbonylation of the 23-hydroxyl group, disilyation followed by tributyltin hydride reduction. The novel deoxy compounds of the present invention have anthelmintic, insecticidal, ectoparasiticidal, nematicidal and acaricidal activity. Compositions containing these described derivatives as active ingredients thereof are described herein.

  • Patent number: 4857544
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel derivatives of LL-F28249 compounds wherein the pendent C(26,27) olefinic group at C(25) is converted into a 27-bromo or 27-chloro-26-methylene group. The 27-bromo compounds are derived by reacting the LL-F28249 compounds or 5-0-trisubstituted silyl LL-F28249 compounds with N-bromoacetamide or N-bromosuccinimide in aqueous acetone, followed by desilylation for silylated LL-F28249 intermediates. The 27-chloro compounds are prepared by reacting LL-F28249 compounds with N-chlorosuccinimide in methanol. These novel halo compounds have anthelmintic, ectoparasitic, insecticidal, nematicidal and acaricidal activity and are also useful intermediates for the preparation of other novel biologically active compounds. Compositions containing the present compounds as active ingredients thereof are presented.
