Abstract

Ascomycin 2, a close analogue of the immunosuppressant FK506 1, was modified to incorporate a hydroxyl group at the C-33 position. This increased the aqueous solubility of ascomycin by a hundred-fold at pH 7.4 and by approximately 300-fold at pH 6.5. Ascomycin 3 also exhibited an excellent immunosuppressive activity in vitro, as tested in a human mixed lymphocyte proliferation (HuMLR) assay, and in vivo using a rat popliteal lymph node (rPLN) hyperplasia assay.
