    • نبذة مختصرة :
      The present invention provides a process for the preparation of alkyl esters of polyene antibiotics, wherein a polyene antibiotic is reacted with a diazoalkane in the presence of a basic substance.
      The present invention also provides, as new materials, alkyl esters of polyene antibiotics in which the alkyl radical of the ester grouping contains 2 or more carbon atoms.

    • Claim:
      We claim
    • Claim:
      1. A process for the preparation of the methyl ester of ayfactin which comprises reacting ayfactin with diazomethane in the presence of a basic substance selected from the group consisting of ammonia, triethylamine and pyridine in a substantially stoichiometric quantity, the resulting pH being 10 to 10.5 (determined after dilution to 1%), the reaction being carried out at a temperature between 15.degree. and 30.degree. C.
    • Claim:
      2. The product of the process of claim 1.
    • Claim:
      3. A process for the preparation of the methyl ester of candicidin which comprises reacting candicidin with diazomethane in the presence of a basic substance selected from the group consisting of ammonia, triethylamine and pyridine in a substantially stoichiometric quantity, the resulting pH being 10 to 10.5 (determined after dilution to 1%), the reaction being carried out at a temperature between 15.degree. and 30.degree. C.
    • Claim:
      4. The product of the process of claim 3.
    • Claim:
      5. A process for the preparation of the methyl ester of nystatin, which comprises reacting nystatin with diazomethane in the presence of a basic substance selected from the group consisting of ammonia, triethylamine and pyridine in a substantially stoichiometric quantity, the resulting pH being 10 to 10.5 (determined after dilution to 1%), the reaction being carried out at a temperature between 15.degree. and 30.degree. C.
    • Claim:
      6. The product of the process of claim 5.
    • Claim:
      7. A process for the preparation of the methyl ester of pimaricin which comprises reacting pimaricin with diazomethane in the presence of a basic substance selected from the group consisting of ammonia, triethylamine and pyridine in a substantially stoichiometric quantity, the resulting pH being 10 to 10.5 (determined after dilution to 1%), the reaction being carried out at a temperature between 15.degree. and 30.degree. C.
    • Claim:
      8. The product of the process of claim 7.
    • Claim:
      9. A process for the preparation of the methyl ester of the heptaene antibiotic DJ-400 which comprises reacting heptaene antibiotic DJ-400 with diazomethane in the presence of a basic substance selected from the group consisting of ammonia, triethylamine and pyridine in a substantially stoichiometric quantity, the resulting pH being 10 to 10.5 (determined after dilution to 1%), the reaction being carried out at a temperature between 15.degree. and 30.degree. C.
    • Claim:
      10. The product of the process of claim 9.
