Abstract
A new class of rapamycin 40-O-cyclic hydrocarbon esters is disclosed. The 40-O position of the rapamycin ester has the form 40-O—R, where R is C(O)—(CH2)n-X, n is 0, 1 or 2, and X is a cyclic hydrocarbon having 3-8 carbons, optionally containing one or more unsaturated bonds, and one or more linear (CH2)) and/or cyclic (X) carbon atoms may have an OH or halide group. Also disclosed are therapeutic compositions and methods that employ the novel analogs.
Claims4
A drug coated balloon having a coating containing an effective amount of a 40-O-cyclic hydrocarbon ester compound having the structure:
- where R is C(O)—(CH2)n—X, n is 0, 1 or 2, X is a cyclic hydrocarbon having 3-8 carbons, optionally containing one or more unsaturated bonds, one or more linear-chain or cyclic carbon atoms may contain an OH or halide substitution, and the rapamycin parent structure may contain substitutions at non-40 positions.
