Participants

Reaction Steps

Triptolide (100 mg) in 10 ml of pyridine was treated with succinic anhydride (150 mg) at room temperature. The reaction was carried out at 85° C. for 30 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. Hexane (50 ml) was added to the resultant mixture to precipitate a crude product, which was collected by filtration and washed with hexane. The crude product was recrystallized from ether/hexane to yield 90 mg (70%) of triptolide succinate (YM-262), m.p. 111°-113° C.
