Abstract
Disclosed are novel pradimicin compounds which possess antifungal activity and, preferably, improved water solubility. The compounds of the invention are prepared by modifying the 4′-amino or 4′-alkylamino moieties of known pradimicin compounds.
Claims2
A process for preparing a 4′-cyanoamino pradimicin compound comprising contacting a 4′-amino or 4′-alkylamino pradimicin compound in a suitable organic solvent with a silylation reagent under conditions sufficient to activate the 4′-amino group or the 4′-alkylamino group, followed by contacting the activated compound with cyanogen bromide under conditions sufficient to form a silylated 4′-cyanoamino pradimicin derivative, followed by removal of the silyl moieties to result in formation of the desired 4′-cyanoamino derivative.
A process for preparing a 4′-nitroguanidino pradimicin compound comprising contacting a 4′-amino or 4′-alkylamino pradimicin compound in a suitable solvent with a silylation reagent under conditions sufficient to activate the 4′-amino group or the 4′-alkylamino group, followed by contacting the activated compound with N-nitro-S-methylisothiourea under conditions sufficient to form a silylated 4′-guanidino pradimicin, followed by removal of the silyl moities to result in formation of the desired 4′-guanidino pradimicin compound.
