`covalent bond linking JQ- to carbon 43);
`Q is absent (i.e., is a covalent bond linking J to A or to carbon
`43) or, if A is —O—, —S— or —NR2—, Q may be
`—V—, —OV—, —SV—, or —NR2V—, where V is an
`aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, aryl, or heteroaryl moiety, such

`are any of the foregoing compounds in which in which JQA-

`fewer carbon atoms, preferably 10 or fewer carbon atoms,

`either orientation.

`which may be optionally substituted (e.g. with a halo,
`hydroxyl, —O-acyl (i.e., acyloxy), alkoxyl, haloalkyl-,

`This class is further illustrated in the synthetic examples that
`follow, through members of its subclass in which J-Q-A- is

`and J moieties disclosed or exemplified herein in connection
`with a given compound, subclass or class of compounds are
`equally applicable in other cases unless otherwise specified.
`Thus, the disclosure of a R2, R5, R6 or J moiety in one case
`is intended to be extrapolated to all other cases except as
`otherwise noted.

`
`J-O,,
`
`(g)(i)(a)
`
`where J, Q, n and the various R groups are as previously
`defined, and with the proviso noted previously. This class
`encompasses a number of subclasses of interest, including
`the following:
`
`where J is selected from:
`P(0)(OMe)(Me),
`P(0)Me2,
`P(0)Ph2,
`P(0)(OnPr)(Me),
`P(0)(OiPr)(Me),
`P(0)(OnBu)(Me),

`P(0)(NH2)2,
`P(0)(OH)
`CH2 — PO(OH)2,
`
`J-O,
`
`(g)(i)
`
`30 In compounds of the structure shown in "(g)(i)(a)", J is a
`moiety other than —P03H2, a salt thereof, or —P03Me2.
`Those choices for the subsituent, J, are permitted only in
`combination with one or more additional structural changes
`35 relative to rapamycin, e.g. altered stereochemistry at one or
`more sites including C43 or C28, modification in the sub-
`stituent or stereochemistry at C7, reduction of one or more
`of the ketone functionalities, demethylation at one or more
`sites, etc. Thus the following compounds, among others, are
`of interest:
`
`45
`
`50
`
`55
`
`60
`
`65
`
`in which Q is absent, i.e., in which J is linked (i.e.,
`covalently bonded) to the cyclohexyl ring via an oxygen.
`This subclass (which excludes O-phosphorylated rapamycin
`itself and the salts or methyl phosphodiester
`thereof)
`includes compounds comprising any moiety, J, as previously
`defined, including all of the types of J moieties illustrated
`elsewhere in this document, including those shown in the
`various compounds, types of compounds and illustrative J
`moieties disclosed herein, including among others the fol(cid:173)
`lowing illustrative examples:

`Another class of compounds of this invention which is
`also of interest is illustrated by the compounds in which A
`is —NR2— as depicted in formula (h):
`
`(h)

`
`15
`
`wherein R5 is H or lower alkyl, including, among others,
`methyl.
`Also of particular interest is the subclass of compounds,
`(g)(ii), which differs from subclass (g)(i)(a) in one or more
`of the following respects: (a) the substituent at position 28
`is epimerized (relative to the orientation of rapamycin's C28
`—OH), (b) one or both ketones at positions 24 and 30 are
`reduced to hydroxyl groups, (c) the methoxyl group at
`position 7 is replaced by H or by one of the various C7
`substituents listed elsewhere, and (d) the substituent J-O—
`at position 43 is in the epimeric orientation (relative to the
`orientation of rapamycin's C43 —OH). Again, J is any of the
`phosphorus-containing moieties as previously described.
`Another subclass of interest is depicted below in (g)(iii) to
`illustrate compounds with an O-linked J moiety in which Q
`is present. This subclass illustrates the case in which Q is
`—OV— where V is an aliphatic moiety.

`C-43 hydroxyl group of rapamycin, with conservation of
`stereochemistry at C43 relative to rapamycin, where JQA is
`as defined above, with the proviso noted at the outset. Such
`compounds can be prepared from rapamycin as disclosed in
`detail below.
`(k) Compounds as in class (j), but with one or more
`additional structural modifications relative to rapamycin.
`Numerous such modifications are known in the art and are
`alluded to elsewhere herein, including replacement of the
`—OMe substituent at C7, or alteration of its stereochemis(cid:173)
`try; epimerization at one or both of C28 and C43; reduction
`of one or more of the ketone functionalities e.g. at one or
`both of ring positions 24 and 30; desmethylation at one or
`more sites; reduction of one or more of the double bonds
`between CI and C6; and/or use of the prolyl analog instead
`of the pipicolate structure of rapamycin. Compounds of this
`invention may be prepared in some cases by starting with the
`appropriate rapamycin analog in place of rapamycin itself
`and in other cases by effecting the desired additional trans(cid:173)
`formation on the appropriate JQA-containing rapalog.

`—P03H2, a salt thereof, or a dialkyl phosphate (such as
`—P03Me2, for example).

`below 1200 mass units (not counting the contribution of a
`counter ion in cases in which the compound is in a salt
`form).

`linked to a polyethylene glycol moiety or other solubility-
`enhancing group. Examples include glycinate (or other
`aminocarboxylate) esters or PEGylated esters (see e.g. WO
