1375357 Corticoid 21-sulphobenzoate ROUSSEL UCLAF 21 May 1973 [19 May 1972] 24013/73 Heading C2U The invention comprises 6-methylprednisolone 21-(m-sulphobenzoate) and its alkali metal salts. The salts are prepared from the corresponding 21-methanesulphonate by reaction with a di-(alkali metal) m-sulphobenzoate in the presence of an N-alkyl-amide (e.g. DMF), and may be converted to the free acid by passing over an acidic ion-exchange resin. The free acid may thereafter be resalified. 6-Methylprednisolone 21-methanesulphonate is prepared from the free 21-ol by reaction with mesyl chloride. Antiinflammatory compositions for oral, parenteral, topical and rectal administration comprise a compound of the invention and a carrier.
