The invention provides novel compounds that are derivatives of Azithromycin and that have been found by the current inventors to have low antimicrobial activity but significant epithelial barrier enhancement properties. The invention further provides use of the compounds as a medicament, in particular in the treatment or prophylaxis of a disease or condition that is caused by a defect in epithelial cells or tissue, or a disease or condition that benefits from enhancement or restoration of epithelial barrier function, for example diseases of the respiratory tract.

A method and an intermediate for preparing a tulathromycin. The method includes the following step: in an organic solvent, subjecting a compound represented by formula (II) and an n-propylamine to a ring-opening addition shown below to obtain a tulathromycin represented by formula (I), wherein the organic solvent is a 1,2-propandiol. Tulathromycin obtained using the method has a high purity, with an HPLC purity being 95% and above, and up to 99% and above, satisfying a required purity for preparing a tulathromycin as a pharmaceutical formulation. The method has a high yield, is simple to operate, and is more suitable for industrial production.
