  • Patent number: 8790691
    Abstract: Drag derivatives are provided herein which are suitable for loading into liposomal nanoparticle carriers. In some preferred aspects, the derivatives comprise a poorly water-soluble drag derivatized with a weak-base moiety that facilitates active loading of the drag through a LN transmembrane pH or ion gradient into the aqueous interior of the LN. The weak-base moiety can optionally comprise a lipophilic domain that facilitates active loading of the drag to the inner monolayer of the liposomal membrane. Advantageously, LN formulations of the drag derivatives exhibit improved solubility, reduced toxicity, enhanced efficacy, and/or other benefits relative to the corresponding free drags.

  • Patent number: 8722880
    Abstract: A method for preparing 42-(dimethylphosphinate) Rapamycin (Ridaforolimus) (I) is provided, which has advantages of high conversion rate and no 31,42-bis(dimethyl phosphinate) Rapamycin (III) generated. In the method of the present invention, Rapamycin (II) is firstly reacted with triethyl chlorosilane in a base condition to form 31,42-bis(triethylsilylether) Rapamycin (IV-b), followed by a selective deprotection process to obtain 31-triethylsilylether Rapamycin (V-b). Next, a phosphorylation reaction is performed by using dimethylphosphinic chloride under a base solution to obtain a crude product. Finally, a deprotection reaction is performed in a diluted sulfuric acid solution to obtain a crude product of Ridaforolimus (I). Since the conversion rate of each step of the method of the present invention is higher than 98%, it indicates that the method of the present invention is suitable for industrial production.
