Rapamycin carbohydrate derivatives

USPTO Application #: 20060079466
Title: Rapamycin carbohydrate derivatives
Abstract: This invention provides modified rapamycins that have specific monosaccharide(s), oligosaccharide(s), pseudosugar(s) or derivatives thereof attached through a linker to create rapamycin carbohydrate derivatives having enhanced pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic profiles. For example, administration of the rapamycin carbohydrate derivative results in altered pharmacokinetic profiles and reduced toxicities. Thus, the present invention provides compounds with characteristics that are distinct from other drugs in its class such as rapamycin. (end of abstract)

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Application Ser. Nos. 60/471,367 filed May 16, 2003, 60/546,240 filed Feb. 20, 2004 and 60/562,840 filed Apr. 16, 2004.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This application relates to carbohydrate derivatives of rapamycin, a potent immunosuppressant, with structurally defined carbohydrate moieties attached to the rapamycin structure via a connective moiety. The rapamycin carbohydrate derivatives may act as prodrugs. That is, they may be substantially without immunosuppressive activity themselves, but in vivo be converted to rapamycin which then exhibits an immunosuppressive effect.
