Posizolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic under investigation by AstraZeneca for the treatment of bacterial infections. At a concentration of 2 mg/L it inhibited 98% of all Gram-positive bacteria tested in vitro.^[1]

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtu), which in 1990 was declared a global epidemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO). It affects more than one third of the world’s population resulting in 8 million new patients and 2 million deaths every year. Also there exists a scenario called “Latent TB”, which occurs when germs remain in the body in a quiescent state but without any apparent effect on the health of the individual. In many cases this stage may last for many years or decades. In case of normal human being the chance of activation is 2-23% in a lifetime. However in case of immuno-compromised patients (like HIV) the chances of activation rise to 10% every year.

The current treatment of drug sensitive tuberculosis is at least six months long and requires a combination of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol in the first two months followed by isoniazid and rifampicin for a period of four months. In recent years, drug resistance to these drugs has increased and the last of drugs for tuberculosis was introduced into clinical practice in the late 1960’s. The evolution of resistance could result in strains against which currently available antitubercular agents will be ineffective and treatment in such cases may last two years with no guarantee of cure. So there is an urgent need to introduce new drugs particularly those with either a novel mechanism of action and/or containing new pharmacophoric groups and new treatment regimens to overcome not only rising drug resistance but also improve the overall treatment duration.

R. Sood et al (Infectious Disorders—Drug Targets 2006, 343-354) report that “Oxazolidinones are a new class of totally synthetic antibacterial agents with wide spectrum of activity against a variety of clinically significant susceptible and resistant bacteria. These compounds have been shown to inhibit translation at the initiation phase of protein synthesis. DuP-721, the first oxazolidinone showed good activity against M. tuberculosis when given orally or parenterally to experimental animals but was not developed further due to lethal toxicity in animal models. Later two oxazolidinones, PNU-100480 and Linezolid, demonstrated promising antimycobacterial activities in the murine model. While Linezolid has been approved for clinical use for broad spectrum area, PNU-100840 was not developed further. DA-7867 showed good in vitro and better in vivo efficacy than Linezolid but was poorly tolerated in rat toxicology studies. The antimycobacterial activity of AZD2563 has not been explored. RBx 7644 had modest antimycobacterial activity whilst RBx 8700 has potent antibacterial and concentration dependent activity against all slow growing mycobacteria. It demonstrated better activity than RBx 7644 against MDR strains of M. tuberculosis along with intracellular activity”.

In published patent application WO-99/64417 we disclose the compound

ie. (5R)-3-[4-[1-[(2S)-2,3-dihydroxypropanoyl]-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyridin-4-yl]-3,5-difluoro-phenyl]-5-(isoxazol-3-yloxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one also known as AZD2563. As reported by R. Sood et al (op cit) the antimycobacterial activity of AZD2563 has not been explored.

The condensation of the protected 3,5-difluoroaniline (I) with 1-benzyl-4-piperidone (II) by means of BuLi in THF gives 4-(1-benzyl-4-hydroxypiperidin-4-yl)-3,5-difluoroaniline (III), which is dehydrated with refluxing conc. HCl to yield the tetrahydropyridine (IV). The reaction of (IV) with benzyl chloroformate in acetone/water affords the carbamate (V), which is cyclized with (R)-glycidyl butyrate (VI) by means of BuLi in THF to provide the oxazolidinone (VII). The condensation of (VII) with isoxazol-3-ol (VIII) by means of PPh3 and DIAD in THF gives the expected ether adduct (IX), which is debenzylated by reaction with 1-chloroethyl chloroformate in dichloromethane, yielding the free tetrahydropyridine derivative (X). The condensation of (X) with (S)-2,3-O-isopropylideneglyceric acid (XI) by means of DEC or DCC and TEA in dichloromethane affords the corresponding acyl tetrahydropyridine (XII), which is finally deprotected with HCl in THF to provide the target dihydroxy compound.

Rib-X Pharmaceuticals has completed two Phase II clinical trials of radezolid for the treatment of pneumonia and uncomplicated skin infections. The trial completion dates were in 2008 and 2009, but to date the Phase III trials have not been initiated [1-6].

Radezolid (INN, codenamed RX-1741) is a novel oxazolidinone antibiotic being developed by Rib-X Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for the treatment of serious multi-drug–resistant infections. Radezolid has completed two phase-II clinical trials. One of these clinical trials was for uncomplicated skin and skin-structure infections (uSSSI) and the other clinical trial was for community acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Oxazolidinone antibiotics are a relatively new class of antibacterial agents with activity against a broad spectrum of gram-positive pathogens. The first member of this new class to be commercialized, linezolid, was approved in 2000. Since that time the development of linezolid resistant organisms has prompted efforts to discover more effective members of the oxazolidinone class.

A new family of biaryl oxazolidinone antibacterials with activity against both linezolid-susceptible and -resistant Gram-positive bacteria, as well as certain Gram-negative bacteria has been reported (see Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2008, 18, 6175-6178, and PCT Patent Publication WO 2005/019211).

Among the known biaryloxazolidinones is N-[3-(2-fluoro-4′-{[(1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-methyl}-bipheny- l-4-yl)-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl]-acetamide, more commonly known as radezolid (RX-1741), currently being developed for multi-drug-resistant infections.

Although a monohydrochloride salt of radezolid was disclosed in PCT Patent Publication WO 2006/133397, there is a continuing need for new salts and polymorphs thereof having improved properties such as solubility to optimize bioavailability on therapeutic administration.

Scheme A

Scheme B illustrates the synthesis of intermediates 7 and 8 of the present invention using Suzuki coupling chemistry between boronic acids and aryl triflates. Boronic ester 6 is treated with an appropriate aryl triflate to yield the BOC-protected biaryl 7. The BOC group of 7 is removed to provide amine 8, an intermediate useful in the synthesis of certain compounds of the present invention.

Scheme B

8, R = NH₂-HCI Scheme C depicts the synthesis of intermediates 9-13, which are useful in producing certain methoxy-substituted biaryl derivatives of the present invention. Suzuki coupling of boronic ester 6 produces biaryl aldehyde 9, which can be reduced to alcohol 10. Mesylation of 10 yields 11 that can be converted to azide 12. Reduction of azide 12 yields amine 13.

Scheme C

Scheme D depicts the synthesis of pyridyl intermediates, which are useful for the synthesis of compounds of the present invention, via similar chemistry to that shown in Scheme C. Coupling of boronic ester 6 to a halopyridine aldehyde produces biaryl aldehyde 14. Aldehyde 14 serves as the precursor to intermediates 15-18 via chemistry described above.

Scheme D

Biaryl aldehyde 19 (Scheme E) can be synthesized from a Suzuki coupling of iodide 1 and 4-formylphenylboronic acid. Scheme E illustrates how intermediate aldehydes of type 19, 9, and 14 can be converted via reductive amination chemistry to other amines, such as amines 20-22, which are useful as intermediates for the synthesis of certain compounds of the invention.

Scheme E

Scheme F depicts the general synthesis of compounds of type la and lb from amines of type 5, 13, 18, and 20-22. Compounds of type la and lb are synthesized via acylation of amines 5, 13 and 18 and 20-22 with the appropriate acids using, for example, l-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) as the coupling agent. Compounds 4001-4007 were specifically synthesized from amine 5 and the appropriate carboxylic acids. Scheme F

Scheme G highlights the synthesis of compounds of general structure II from amines of type 5 and 18. The amine can be acylated with carboxylic acids using EDCI (or other commonly employed peptide coupling reagents known in the art) to afford amides II.

Acid chlorides can be purchased or synthesized and allowed to react with amines 5 and 18, in the presence of bases such as triethylamine, to also produce amides II.

Alternatively, carboxylic acids can be pre-loaded onto a solid polymeric support, such as a tetrafluorophenol containing resin (TFP resin), and reacted with amines to yield amide products of general structure II (such as compounds 4008-4015).

Scheme G

Scheme H illustrates the synthesis of compounds of general structure Ilia from amines of type 5, 13, and 18 using reductive amination chemistry. For example, biaryl amine compounds 4016-4028 are synthesized in this manner. Scheme H

Scheme I depicts the synthesis of general structure Illb of the present invention from amine intermediate 8. For example, compounds 4029-4031 are synthesized using this reductive amination chemistry.

Scheme I

Scheme J shows the synthesis of compounds of general structure IVa and IVb. Amines 20, 21, and 22 can be converted to tertiary amines IVa, such as compounds 4032-4034 and 4036, using standard reductive amination chemistry employed earlier for other derivatives.

This reductive amination chemistry can be employed on biaryl aldehyde intermediates such as 19, 9, and 14 to yield optionally substituted amines of general structure IVb, illustrated by compound 4037.

Scheme J

producing compounds of the present invention. Known iodoaryl oxazolidinone intermediate 50 (see U.S. Patent Nos. 5,523,403 and 5,565,571) is coupled to a substituted aryl boronic acid (the Suzuki reaction) to produce biaryl alcohol 51. Mesylate 52, azide 53, and amine 54 are then synthesized using chemistry well known to those skilled in the art. Scheme 1

Example 1 Synthesis of Compound 1

Compound 1 and its hydrochloride salt are synthesized according to the following Scheme:

4-Methoxybenzyl Azide

1001.

A solution of 4-methoxybenzyl chloride 1000 (51.8 g, 331.0 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (200 mL) was treated with solid sodium azide (21.5 g, 331.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) at 25° C., and the resulting mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 24 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was quenched with H₂O (400 mL) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 400 mL) at room temperature.

The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (200 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with H₂O (2×200 mL) and saturated NaCl aqueous solution (100 mL), dried over MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude 4-methoxybenzyl azide (51.2 g, 53.95 g theoretical, 94.9% yield) was obtained as colorless oil, which by HPLC and ¹H NMR was found to be essentially pure and was directly used in the subsequent reaction without further purifications. For 4-methoxybenzyl azide 1001:

¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃) δ 3.84 (s, 3H, ArOCH₃), 4.29 (s, 2H, Ar—CH₂), 6.96 (d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz), 7.28 (d, 2H, J=7.8 Hz).

C-[1-(4-Methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine and C-[3-(4-Methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine

(1003 and 1004).

A solution of 4-methoxybenzyl azide 1001 (61.2 g, 375.5 mmol) in toluene (188 mL) was heated with propargylamine 1002 (commercially available, 30.97 g, 38.6 mL, 563.0 mmol, 1.5 equiv) at 25° C., and the resulting reaction mixture was warmed up to gentle reflux at 100-110° C. for 21 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature before being concentrated in vacuo to remove the excess amount of propargylamine and solvent.

The oily residue was then treated with 30% ethyl acetate-hexane (v/v, 260 mL), and the resulting mixture was warmed up to reflux and stirred at reflux for 30 min before being cooled down to room temperature for 1 h. The pale-yellow solids were then collected by filtration, washed with 30% ethyl acetate-hexane (v/v, 2×100 mL), and dried in vacuo at 40° C. for overnight to afford the crude, cycloaddition product (78.8 g, 81.75 g theoretical, 96.4%) as a mixture of two regioisomers, C-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine and C-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine (1003 and 1004), in a ratio of 1.2 to 1 by ¹H NMR.

The crude cycloaddition product was found to be essentially pure and the two regioisomers were not separated before being used directly in the subsequent reaction without further purification. For 1003 and 1004:

¹H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ 1.82 (br. s, 2H, NH₂), 3.72 and 3.73 (two s, 3H, Ar—OCH₃), 5.47 and 5.53 (two s, 2H, ArCH₂), 6.89 and 6.94 (two d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz, Ar—H), 7.17 and 7.29 (two d, 2H, J=8.7 Hz, Ar—H), 7.58 and 7.87 (two br. s, 1H, triazole-CH); C₁₁H₁₄N₄O, LCMS (EI) m/e 219 (M⁺+H) and 241 (M⁺+Na).

4-({tert-Butoxycarbonyl-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid and 4-({tert-Butoxycarbonyl-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid (1008 and 1009).

Method A. A solution of the regioisomeric C-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine and C-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine (1003 and 1004, 20.0 g, 91.74 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE, 280 mL) was treated with 4-formylphenylboronic acid 1005 (commercially available, 12.39 g, 82.57 mmol, 0.9 equiv) at room temperature, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (NaB(OAc)₃H, 29.2 g, 137.6 mmol, 1.5 equiv) was then added to the reaction mixture in three portions over the period of 1.5 h at room temperature, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for an additional 3.5 h.

When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the reductive animation reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue, which contained a regioisomeric mixture of 4-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid and 4-({[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid as the reductive animation products (1006 and 1007), was then treated with tetrahydrofuran (THF, 100 mL) and water (H₂O, 100 mL).

The resulting solution was subsequently treated with solid potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃, 37.98 g, 275.2 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (BOC₂O, 20.02 g, 91.74 mmol, 1.0 equiv) at room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the N-BOC protection reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was treated with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 150 mL) and water (H₂O, 100 mL). The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with H₂O (50 mL), 1.5 N aqueous HCl solution (2×100 mL), H₂O (100 mL), and saturated aqueous NaCl solution (100 mL), dried over MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo.

The crude, regioisomeric 4-({tert-butoxycarbonyl-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid and 4-({tert-butoxycarbonyl-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid (1008 and 1009, 35.98 g, 37.32 g, 96.4%) was obtained as a pale-yellow oil, which solidified upon standing at room temperature in vacuo.

This crude material was directly used in the subsequent reaction without further purification. For 1008 and 1009:

¹H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ 1.32 and 1.37 (two br. s, 9H, COOC(CH₃)₃), 3.70, 3.73 and 3.74 (three s, 3H, Ar—OCH₃), 4.07-4.39 (m, 4H), 5.49 and 5.52 (two s, 2H), 6.70-8.04 (m, 9H, Ar—H and triazole-CH); C₂₃H₂₉BN₄O₅, LCMS (EI) m/e 453 (M⁺+H) and 475 (M⁺+Na).

Method B. A solution of the regioisomeric C-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine and C-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-yl]-methylamine (1003 and 1004, 20.06 g, 92.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF, 300 mL) was treated with 4-formylphenylboronic acid (13.11 g, 87.4 mmol, 0.95 equiv) at room temperature, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (NaB(OAc)₃H, 29.25 g, 138.0 mmol, 1.5 equiv) was then added to the reaction mixture in three portions over the period of 1.5 h at room temperature, and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for an additional 3.5 h.

When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the reductive animation reaction was complete, the reaction mixture, which contained a regioisomeric mixture of 4-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid and 4-({[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid as the reductive animation products (1006 and 1007), was then treated with water (H₂O, 200 mL).

The resulting aqueous solution was subsequently heated with solid potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃, 38.0 g, 276 mmol, 3.0 equiv) and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (BOC₂O, 20.08 g, 92 mmol, 1.0 equiv) at room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the N-BOC protection reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was treated with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 150 mL) and water (H₂O, 100 mL). The two layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL).

The combined organic extracts were washed with H₂O (50 mL), 1.5 N aqueous HCl solution (2×100 mL), H₂O (100 mL), and saturated aqueous NaCl solution (100 mL), dried over MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude, 4-({tert-butoxycarbonyl-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid and 4-({tert-butoxycarbonyl-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid (1008 and 1009, 38.45 g, 39.50 g, 97.3%) was obtained as a pale-yellow oil, which solidified upon standing at room temperature in vacuo. This crude material was found to be essentially identical in every comparable aspect as the material obtained from Method A and was directly used in the subsequent reaction without further purification.

(5S)-{4′-[5-(Acetylamino-methyl)-2-oxo-oxazolidin-3-yl]-2′-fluoro-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl}-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester and (5S)-{4′-[5-(Acetylamino-methyl)-2-oxo-oxazolidin-3-yl]-2′-fluoro-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl}-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-5-ylmethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

(1011 and 1012).

A suspension of the crude regioisomeric mixture of 4-({tert-butoxycarbonyl-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid and 4-({tert-butoxycarbonyl-[3-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylboronic acid (1008 and 1009, 37.62 g, 83.23 mmol) and N-[3-(3-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl]-acetamide (1010, 28.32 g, 74.9 mmol, 0.90 equiv) in toluene (150 mL) was treated with powder K₂CO₃(34.45 g, 249.7 mol, 3.0 equiv), EtOH (50 mL), and H₂O (50 mL) at 25° C.,

and the resulting mixture was degassed three times under a steady stream of Argon at 25° C. Pd(PPh₃)₄(866 mg, 0.749 mmol, 0.01 equiv) was subsequently added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting reaction mixture was degassed three times again under a stead stream of Argon at 25° C. before being warmed up to gentle reflux for 18 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed the coupling reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was cooled down to room temperature before being treated with H₂O (100 mL) and ethyl acetate (100 mL). The two layers were then separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL).

The combined organic extracts were washed with H₂O (50 mL), 1.5 N aqueous HCl solution (2×150 mL), H₂O (100 mL), and the saturated aqueous NaCl solution (100 mL), dried over MgSO₄, and concentrated in vacuo. The residual oil was solidified upon standing at room temperature in vacuo to afford the crude, (5S)-{4′-[5-(acetylamino-methyl)-2-oxo-oxazolidin-3-yl]-2′-fluoro-biphenyl-4-y]methyl}-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1011) and (5S)-{4′-[5-(acetylamino-methyl)-2-oxo-oxazolidin-3-yl]-2′-fluoro-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl}-[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-5-ylmethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1012) as a regioisomeric mixture.

This crude product (43.36 g, 49.28 g theoretical, 88%) was used directly in the subsequent reaction without further purification.

When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the N-BOC deprotection reaction was complete,

the solvents were removed in vacuo. The residue was then suspended in 250 mL of 5% methanol (MeOH) in acetonitrile (CH₃CN), and the resulting slurry was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The solids were then collected by filtration, washed with toluene (2×100 mL) and 5% methanol in acetonitrile (2×50 mL), and dried in vacuo to afford a regioisomeric mixture of the crude, (5S)-N-{3-[2-fluoro-4′-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide hydrochloride and (5S)-N-{3-[2-fluoro-4′-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-5-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide hydrochloride (1013 and 1014, 30.0 g, 33.68 g theoretical, 89.1% yield) as off-white crystals in a ratio of 1.2 to 1.

A solution of the crude regioisomeric mixture of (5S)-N-{3-[2-fluoro-4′-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide hydrochloride and (5S)-1H-{3-[2-fluoro-4′-({[1-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazol-5-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-biphenyl-4-yl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl}-acetamide hydrochloride (1013 and 1014, 29.17 g, 49.07 mmol) in trifluoroacetic acid(TFA, 150 mL) was warmed up to 65-70° C., and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 65-70° C. for 12 h. When TLC and HPLC/MS showed that the deprotection reaction was complete, the solvents were removed in vacuo.

The residual solids were then treated with ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 100 mL) and H₂O (150 mL) before being treated with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (30 mL) at room temperature. The resulting mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 1 h before the solids were collected by filtration, washed with EtOAc (2×50 mL) and H₂O (2×50 mL), and dried in vacuo at 40-45° C. to afford the crude, (5S)-N-[3-(2-fluoro-4′-{[(1H-[1,2,3]triazol-4-ylmethyl)-amino]-methyl)-biphenyl-4-yl)-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethyl]-acetamide (1 as the free base, 18.9 g, 21.49 g theoretical, 87.9%) as off-white powders, which by HPLC/MS and ¹H NMR was found to be one pure regioisomer and this regioisomer was found to be identical as the material obtained from deprotection of 1013 alone by the same method.

For 1 as the free base: ¹H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ 1.85 (s, 3H, COCH₃), 3.44 (t, 2H, J=5.4 Hz), 3.74 (s, 2H), 3.77 (s, 2H), 3.79 (dd, 1H, J=6.4, 9.2 Hz), 4.17 (t, 1H, J=9.1 Hz), 4.72-4.81 (m, 1H), 7.39-7.62 (m, 7H, aromatic-H), 7.73 (s, 1H, triazole-CH), 8.29 (t, 1H, J=5.8 Hz, NHCOCH₃), 9.72 (br. s, 2H, ArCH₂N⁺H₂), 15.20 (br. s, 1H, triazole-NH); C₂₂H₂₃FN₆O₃, LCMS (EI) m/e 439 (M⁺+H) and 461 (M⁺+Na).

A suspension of 1 free base (18.0 g, 41.1 mmol) in ethyl acetate (EtOAc, 80 mL), and methanol (MeOH, 20 mL) was treated with a solution of 4.0 N hydrogen chloride in 1,4-dioxane (41.1 mL, 164.4 mmol, 4.0 equiv) at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 h. The solvents were then removed in vacuo, and the residue was further dried in vacuo before being treated with a mixture of 10% methanol in acetonitrile (80 mL). The solids were collected by filtration, washed with 10% MeOH/acetonitrile (2×40 mL), and dried in vacuo to afford 1 hydrochloride salt (18.13 g, 19.50 g theoretical, 93% yield) as off-white crystals.

The crude 1 hydrochloride salt can be recrystallized from acetonitrile and water, if necessary, according to the following procedure: A suspension of the crude 1 hydrochloride salt (50.0 g) in acetonitrile (1250 mL) was warmed up to reflux before the distilled water (H₂O, 280 mL) was gradually introduced to the mixture. The resulting clear yellow to light brown solution was then stirred at reflux for 10 min before being cooled down to 45-55° C. The solution was then filtered through a Celite bed at 45-55° C., and the filtrates were gradually cooled down to room temperature before being further cooled down to 0-5° C. in an ice bath for 1 h. The solids were then collected by filtration, washed with acetonitrile (2×50 mL), and dried in vacuo at 40° C. for 24 h to afford the recrystallized 1 hydrochloride salt (42.5 g, 50.0 g theoretical, 85% recovery) as off-white crystals.

QIDP Designation for Radezolid for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections, Community-acquired Bacterial Pneumonia

Rib-X Pharmaceuticals announced that the FDA designated radezolid as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) for the indications of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP).

The QIDP designation will enable Rib-X to benefit from certain incentives for the development of new antibiotics, including an additional five years of market exclusivity, priority review and eligibility for fast-track status, provided under the new Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) program. GAIN was included in the FDA Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), formerly known as PDUFA V, which received bipartisan Congressional support and was signed into law by President Obama in July 2012.

Radezolid has completed two Phase 2 clinical trials with an oral formulation in uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections (uSSSI) and in CABP. A Phase 1 study with an IV formulation was recently completed in healthy subjects. Rib-X recently announced data from a positive Phase 1 IV dosing study conducted in healthy subjects and an in vivo long-term safety study vs. linezolid (Zyvox; Pfizer).

Radezolid is a next-generation oxazolidinone with a safety profile permitting long-term treatment of resistant infections, including those caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

SEE UPDATED POST AT https://newdrugapprovals.org/2014/10/10/nabrivas-lefamulin-bc-3781-receives-fda-fast-track-status-to-treat-cabp-and-absssi/ ………….C0NTAINS SYNTHESIS

BC-3781
The pleuromutilin BC-3781 belongs to the first generation of pleuromutilins to combine excellent oral
bioavailability with substantial activity against Gram-positive pathogens and atypicals as well as some
Gram-negative pathogens. In particular, BC-3781 is highly active against multi-drug resistant (MDR)
pathogens including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), MDR Streptococcus pneumonia
(i.e. macrolide and quinolone resistance), and vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium. It is
characterized by excellent in vivo activities (e.g. pneumonia model), outstanding PK/PD parameters,
allowing once a day dosing, and a novel mode of action. BC-3781 is being developed for both oral and IV
administration and is intended for the treatment of serious multi-drug resistant skin & skin structure
infections (CSSI) and moderate to severe pneumonia (CAP, HAP etc).

Pleuromutilins have been known since 1951, but only entered the market in 2007 with the approval of retapamulin for topical use. Until today, there are no pleuromutilins for systemic use approved in human clinical practice.

Nabriva is currently working on the development of new compounds is this class. The lead compound, BC-3781, if approved, will be the first pleuromutilin for systemic use in humans.

The compound shows potent in vitro activity against a large collection of staphylococci, streptococci, andE. faecium. When compared to linezolid and vancomycin, the compound shows greater overall potency againstS. aureus [121]. BC-3781 shows improved activity against most bacteria commonly associated with community-acquired respiratory tract infections, the compound is especially potent against S. pneumoniaincluding penicillin resistant strains. It also shows improved activity against H. influenza, M. catarrhalis, M. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae.

BC-3781 is undergoing Phase I clinical trials for CAP and in March of 2011 has completed a Phase II clinical study comparing it to vancomycin for treatment of aBSSSI [119,120,121,122,123]. Nabriva Therapeutics AG announced that the cooperation with Forest Laboratories to develop the compound had elapsed, and that Nabriva retained all rights in BC-3781. The company informed that the product was Phase III ready and that it was seeking partners to continue further development [203].

Nabriva is also developing BC-7013 for topical use against Gram-positive infections and working on the discovery of new pleuromutilins [119,124].

Dr William Prince, CMO Nabriva Therapeutics commented:
“This is the first patient study with a systemic pleuromutilin. It will be an important proof of concept
for an exciting new class of antibiotics. The phase II study builds on our extensive preclinical and
phase I data which have demonstrated that BC-3781 can achieve therapeutically relevant blood and
tissue levels in man with excellent tolerability when administered by either oral or intravenous
routes.”

Dr. David Chiswell, CEO Nabriva Therapeutics commented:
“With a worldwide problem due to antibiotic resistant bacteria, there is a very significant need for
new classes of antibiotics with unique modes of action such as the pleuromutilins. The commercial
prospects for BC-3781 as the leading compound of an exciting new class are excellent, especially as it
has an ideal anti-bacterial spectrum for both skin and respiratory infections and is being developed
with both oral and intravenous formulations”

BC-3781 is highly active against key pathogens, including MRSA, associated with skin infections and
community and hospital acquired pneumonia and is more potent than Linezolid and vancomycin. The
compound’s novel mode of action ensures that it overcomes resistance mechanisms affecting all
approved classes of antibiotics. BC-378

New oxazolidinone LCB01–0371 for MRSA and VRE infection. Young Lag Cho. Company : LegoChem Biosciences, Inc. Website : http://www.legochembio.com.

LCB01-0371 is a new oxazolidinone with cyclic amidrazone. In vitro activity of LCB01-0371 against 624 clinical isolates was evaluated and compared with those of linezolid, vancomycin, and other antibiotics. LCB01-0371 showed good activity against Gram-positive pathogens. In vivo activity of LCB01-0371 against systemic infections in mice was also evaluated. LCB01-0371 was more active than linezolid against these systemic infections. LCB01-0371 showed bacteriostatic activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

As examples of oxazolidinone compounds including an oxazolidinone ring, 3-phenyl-2-oxazolidinone derivatives having one or two substituent(s) are described in US Patent Nos. 4,948,801, 4,461,773, 4,340,606, 4,476,136, 4,250,318 and 4,128,654, and 3-[(mono-substituted)phenyl]-2-oxazolidinone derivatives represented by Chemical Formula A are described in EP 0312000, J. Med. Chem.32, 1673(1989), J. Med. Chem. 33, 2569 (1990), Tetrahedron Lett. 45,123(1989), and the like.

[Chemical Formula A]

And, oxazolidinone derivatives represented by Chemical Formula B and Chemical Formula C were synthesized by Pharmacia & Upjohn (WO 93/23384, WO 95/14684 and WO 95/07271). The compound of Chemical Formula B, “linezolid”, is the first oxazolidinone antibiotic and is marketed under the trade name “zyvox” for oral administration and injection, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, most of synthetic oxazolidinone compounds are associated with some limitations, such as toxicity, low in vivo efficacy and low solubility. As for linezolid, solubility in water is only about 3 mg/mL, which causes its use as injection limited.

[Chemical Formula B]

[Chemical Formula C]

WO 93/09103 discloses phenyl oxazolidinone derivatives having a heterocyclic ring, including pyridine, thiazole, indole, oxazole, quinol, etc., at the 4-position of the phenyl group. But, the substituents of the heterocyclic ring are merely simple alkyl or amino group, and the activities are not so excellent.

In order to solve these problems, WO 01/94342 discloses phenyloxazolidinone derivatives having various pyridine or phenyl derivatives at the 4-position of the phenyl group. The synthetic compounds have wide antibacterial spectrum and excellent antibacterial activity. Although the oxazolidinone compounds having various pyridine derivatives at the 4-position of the phenyl group of oxazolidinone have wider antibacterial spectrum and excellent antibacterial activity as compared to linezolid, most of them have aqueous solubility of 30 ㎍/mL or less, and thus have limitation in preparing injections.

TR-700 and TR-701, represented by Chemical Formula D, are developed by Dong-A Pharmaceutical and recently licensed to Trius Therapeutics. TR-701 is a prodrug of TR-700 and it is in the phase II clinical trial. TR-701 solves the solubility problem via formation of prodrug from TR-700, exhibits an antibacterial activity superior to that of linezolid. However, the compound shows higher toxicities (cytotoxicity, MAO profile, myelosuppression, etc.) than linezolid, and, thus, is expected to have many limitations.

[Chemical Formula D]

As described above, a compound having superior antibacterial activity, satisfactory solubility and lower toxicity is yet to be found.

The inventors of the present invention have synthesized novel oxazolidinone derivatives in order to develop antibiotics having superior antibacterial activity as compared to existing antibiotics and having higher solubility for easier preparation into oral administration and injection formulations. The novel oxazolidinone derivatives according to the present invention have been confirmed to have superior antibacterial activity and significantly improved antibacterial spectrum.

Especially, the cyclic amidoxime or cyclic amidrazone compound presented by the present invention has not been studied before. Whereas acyclic amidoxime or amidrazone is relatively well known, the cyclic amidoxime or cyclic amidrazone compound like those disclosed in the present invention is hardly known. Introduction of the cyclic form results in remarkably improved absorptivity and allows the formation of a salt having an adequate basicity, thereby greatly increasing solubility in water. The increased solubility in water makes it possible to prepare injections without using a prodrug and with little toxicity.

A safe, cheap and effective method for slow-freezing human stem cells

March 31, 2014 2:13 am / Leave a comment

Lyra Nara Blog

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) show great potential and versatility in regenerative medicine and new therapeutic approaches to fight disease. Patient-specific, individualized treatments using stem cells have even been generated for a number of diseases. Although further research into hPSCs is needed in order to harness their full potential, preserving the stem cells and storing them in the large numbers required for research has proved difficult.

Teruo Akuta and colleagues at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology, together with scientists from the Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation, have now developed a cost-effective, efficient and reliable slow-freezing method for preserving hPSCs in large numbers with a high survival rate.

Vitrification, which involves the use of cryoprotectants to chill cells to low temperatures without freezing, and conventional slow-freezing techniques are currently used for the cryopreservation of hPSCs. “Vitrification using liquid nitrogen is a highly skilled task,” notes Akuta, “and is not…

Plazomicin…………against multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.

March 30, 2014 1:14 pm / Leave a comment

Plazomicin

6′-(hydroxylethyl)-1-(haba)-sisomicin

Plazomicin is a neoglycoside antibiotic with activity against a broad range of Gram-positive and Gram-negive pathogens. Plazomicin showed potent in vitro activity against multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.

Synonyms: O-2-Amino-2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy-6-[(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-α-D-glycero-hex-4-enopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-[3-deoxy-4-C-methyl-3-(methylamino)-β-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1→6)]-N1-[(2S)-4-amino-2-hydroxy-1-oxobutyl]-2-deoxy-D-streptamine; ACHN 490;

CAS Number: 1154757-24-0

Achaogen (USA)Phase II completed

Mol. Formula: C25H48N6O10

Aminoglycosides, Broad-spectrum,

Mol. Weight: 592.68

To continue the development of plazomicin, the company has received a contract option of US$ 60M from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to support a global Phase III clinical study. The study will evaluate plazomicin in treating patients with serious Gram-negative bacterial infections due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The study is expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2013 [4].

Achaogen is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company passionately committed to the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel antibacterials to treat multi-drug resistant, or MDR, gram-negative infections.

Achaogen (a-KAY-o-jen) is developing plazomicin, its lead product candidate, for the treatment of serious bacterial infections due to MDR Enterobacteriaceae, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, or CRE. In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified CRE as a “nightmare bacteria” and an immediate public health threat that requires “urgent and aggressive action.” We expect to initiate a Phase 3 superiority trial of plazomicin in the first quarter of 2014.

CRE are one of many types of MDR gram-negative pathogens threatening patients. Bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae each pose “serious” resistance threats, according to the CDC, and also drive a great need for new, safe, and effective antibiotics. We have assembled the chemistry and microbiology expertise and capabilities required to develop new agents for the treatment of gram-negative infections. Plazomicin was the first clinical candidate from our gram-negative antibiotic discovery engine. In addition, our research and development pipeline includes two antipseudomonal programs targeting P. aeruginosa—a program to discover and develop small molecule inhibitors of LpxC, which is an enzyme essential for the synthesis of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, and a therapeutic antibody program. We are also pursuing small molecule research programs targeting other essential gram-negative enzymes.

Achaogen has built an exceptional research and development team with deep expertise in the discovery and development of new drugs from research through commercialization. Our executive team has over 60 years of combined industry experience, and a proven track record of leadership, global registration, and lifecycle management for over 20 products. Our facility is located on the shores of the San Francisco Bay, ten minutes from the San Francisco International Airport, and only fifteen minutes from downtown San Francisco.

The condensation of 3-chloro-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoylacetic acid ethyl ester (I) with (1R,2S)-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-fluorocyclopropylamine (III) and ethyl orthoformate (II) in hot acetic anhydride gives (1R,2S)-2-(3-chloro-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoyl)-3-(2-fluorocyclopropylamino)acrylic acid ethyl ester (IV). The cyclization of (IV) by means of NaH yields the quinolone (V), which is hydrolyzed with HCl to the free acid (VI). The condensation of (VI) with 7(S)-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane (VII) by means of triethylamine in refluxing acetonitrile affords the protected final product (VIII), which is finally deprotected with trifluoroacetic acid and anisole.

The chiral intermediate (1R,2S)-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-fluorocyclopropylamine (III) is obtained as follows: 1) The cyclization of butadiene (IX) with dibromofluoromethane by means of BuONa, followed by oxidation with KMnO4, esterification with ethanol – sulfuric acid and reduction with tributyltin hydride gives 2-fluorocyclopropanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester as a cis/trans mixture (X), which is separated by crystallization. The cis-racemic-isomer (XI) is hydrolyzed with NaOH to the corresponding acid (XII), which is condensed with (R)-alpha-methylbenzylamine (XIII) by means of diphenyl chlorophosphate to give the mixture of diastereomers (XIV). This mixture is separated by crystallization, yielding pure (1S,2S)-2-fluoro-N-[alpha(R)-methylbenzyl]cyclopropanecarboxamide (XV), which is hydrolyzed with HCl to the corresponding free acid (XVI). Finally, this compound is converted into (III) by treatment with diphenylphosphoryl azide in refluxing tert-butanol.

b) The intermediate 7(S)-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane (VII) can also be obtained as follows: 1) The cyclopropanation of ethyl acetoacetate (XXXI) with 1,2-dibromoethane (XXXII) by means of K2CO3 in DMF gives 1-acetylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (XXXIII), which is brominated with Br2 in ethanol yielding the bromoacetyl derivative (XXXIV). The cyclization of (XXXI) with (R)-alpha-methylbenzylamine (XIII) by means of triethylamine affords 5-[1(R)-phenylethyl]-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane-4,7-dione (XXXV), which by reaction with hydroxylamine is converted into the monooxime (XXXVI). The reduction of (XXXVI) with H2 over RaNi in methanol affords 7-amino-5-[1(R)-phenylethyl]-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptan-4-one as a diastereomeric mixture (XXXVII) + (XXXVIII), which is separated by column chromatography. The reduction of the (7S)-isomer (XXXVIII) with LiAlH4 in THF gives 7(S)-amino-5-[1(R)-phenylethyl]-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane (XXXIX), which is protected in the usual way to the tert-butoxycarbonyl derivative (XL). Finally, this compound is debenzylated to (VII) by hydrogenation with H2 over Pd/C in ethanol.

b) The intermediate 7(S)-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane (VII) can also be obtained as follows: 2) The reaction of 1-acetylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (XXXIII) with (R)-alpha-methylbenzylamine (XIII) by means of NaOH and ethyl chloroformate gives the corresponding amide (XLI), which by reaction with ethylene glycol and p-toluenesulfonic acid is converted into the ethylene ketal (XLII). The bromination of (XLII) with Br2 in dioxane affords the bromomethyl dioxolane (XLIII), which is finally cyclized to 5-[1(R)-phenylethyl]-5-azaspiro[2.4]heptane-4,7-dione (XXXV), already obtained as an intermediate in the preceding synthesis.

The chiral intermediate (1R,2S)-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-fluorocyclopropylamine (III) can also be obtained as follows: 3) A study of the influence of different substituents in the cis/trans ratio of the cyclopropanation process has been performed. The general method is as follows: the reaction of benzylamine (XXIII) with acetaldehyde and trichloromethyl chloroformate gives the N-benzyl-N-vinylcarbamoyl chloride (XXIV), which by treatment with alcohol yields the N-vinylcarbamate (XXV). The cyclopropanation of (XXV) with fluorodiiodomethane and diethyl zinc as before preferentially affords the cis-N-(2-fluorocyclopropyl)carbamate (XXVI), which is purified by crystallization. The hydrogenolysis of (XXVI) with H2 over Pd/C in acetic acid gives cis-racemic-2-fluorocyclopropylamine (XXVII), which is submitted to optical resolution with L-menthyl chloroformate to afford pure (1R,2S)-isomer (XXII). Finally, this compound is converted into (III) with tert-butoxycarbonyl anhydride as before.

Bitter Apricot Seed ( Xingren ) 杏仁

1. Arresting coughing and asthma.
2. Expelling phlegm.
3. Help bowel movements.

Bitter Apricot Seed ( Xingren ) 杏仁 Toxicity & Cautions:

Bitter Apricot Seed ( Xingren ) 杏仁 contain hydrogen cyanide which is a strong toxin. Eating 20 to 30 piece may cause toxic reaction even death. The toxin can be hydrolyzed in cooking and can render it non toxic. It is not recommended for small children.

Properties
Taste: bitter; nature: slightly warm; slightly toxic.

Channels entered
Lung and Large Intestine.

Functions and indications
Stops coughing and calms wheezing, moistens the Intestines and frees the bowels. It is indicated for coughing and wheezing, sore throat andconstipation.

Common dosage
3-10g, decocted for a short time only.

Precautions and contraindications

As Xing Ren is slightly toxic, large dosages should be avoided, especially when treating infants.
Contraindicated in cases of weak constitution and profuse sweating.

Remarks
Ku Xing Ren (Semen Pruni Armeniacae Amarum), or bitter apricot kernel, is normally used for this herb.

In China, people who can afford to buy apricot as a fresh fruit generally throw the stones away. Servants and the less fortunate children gatherthe stones and sell them to collectors who use cheap labor to crack the shells (endocarp) and free the seeds (kernel) with the brown seed coat tightly covering the embryo (two cotyledons with the small radical and plumule).

In Chinese prescriptions, an apricot seed with the brown seed coat intact is called bei-xing-ren (northern apricot seed). All Chinese apothecaries keep a supply of apricot seeds in this state.

Detoxificated apricot seed: The major portion of the annual production of apricot seed is detoxified, processed by being first subjected to boiling water to loosen the seed coat, which can then be rubbed off by hand, followed by soaking the white cotyledons in cold water with several changes to eliminate the bitter element and to detoxify them. Then the detoxified white cotyledons are dried for the market. In Chinese prescriptions, this decoated and detoxified material is called nan-xing-ren (southern apricot seed) or tian-xing-ren (sweet apricot seed), which is also available in apothecaries. However, a greater portion of the detoxified material is used in pastry and for food.

Toxicity
The LD for intravenous injection of amygdalin in mice or rats is 25g/kg; for intraperitoneal injection, it is 8g/kg; and for oraladministration, it is O.6g/kg. Oral administration of 55 pieces (the equivalem of about 60g) of Ku Xing Ren, containing 1.8g of amygdalin, can cause death in humans. The main symptoms oftoxic reaction include a bitter taste in the mouth, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, pain in the abdomen, diarrhoea, agitation, vexation and restlessness, palpitations, and weakness of the limbs, and in severe cases, oppression in the chest, difficulty in breathing, loss of consciousness, a reduction in blood pressure and even coma. Ku Xing Ren should therefore not be used raw and overdosage must be avoided.

Modern Research

Inhibits the respiratory centre to stop coughing and calmwheezing.
Affects digestion by inhibiting the activity of pepsins.
Reduces the level of blood fats.
Inhibits inflammation and alleviates pain.
Inhibits carcinoma

Carrots Cut Men’s Prostate Cancer Risk by 50%:

March 29, 2014 4:42 am / 2 Comments on Carrots Cut Men’s Prostate Cancer Risk by 502:

Carrots Cut Men’s Prostate Cancer Risk by 50%

A new meta-study out of China has just shown that eating one large carrot (100 grams) daily may decrease prostate cancer risk by a stunning 50% in men. The study noted a 5% risk reduction for every 10 grams eaten daily, or full serving eaten weekly. But it’s not the beta-carotene that’s doing it. It’s the alpha-carotene (carrots are the richest source). This is confirmed by another very recent study out of Japan showing that men with the highest intake of alpha-carotene from all sources had 54% less risk of prostate cancer. And yet another study out of the USA showed men with the highest alpha-carotene intake were 51% less likely to have high PSA levels – a marker for prostate cancer. In both those studies, beta-carotene was found to offer no protection. Alpha-carotene is a powerful antioxidant: it’s also been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer in large population studies. Carrots are the single richest source of alpha-carotene in our diets, but pumpkin and winter squash (butternut, hubbard) are also good sources. It makes good sense, then, to get more of these low calorie super-vegetables (preferably organic) in our daily cuisine as part of a well-balanced, healthy diet including plentiful other organic vegetables, fruit and whole foods.

Scheme G highlights the synthesis of compounds of general structure II from amines of type 5 and 18. The amine can be acylated with carboxylic acids using EDCI (or other commonly employed peptide coupling reagents known in the art) to afford amides II.

Acid chlorides can be purchased or synthesized and allowed to react with amines 5 and 18, in the presence of bases such as triethylamine, to also produce amides II.

Alternatively, carboxylic acids can be pre-loaded onto a solid polymeric support, such as a tetrafluorophenol containing resin (TFP resin), and reacted with amines to yield amide products of general structure II (such as compounds 4008-4015).

Scheme H illustrates the synthesis of compounds of general structure Ilia from amines of type 5, 13, and 18 using reductive amination chemistry. For example, biaryl amine compounds 4016-4028 are synthesized in this manner. Scheme H

Scheme I depicts the synthesis of general structure Illb of the present invention from amine intermediate 8. For example, compounds 4029-4031 are synthesized using this reductive amination chemistry.

Scheme J shows the synthesis of compounds of general structure IVa and IVb. Amines 20, 21, and 22 can be converted to tertiary amines IVa, such as compounds 4032-4034 and 4036, using standard reductive amination chemistry employed earlier for other derivatives.

This reductive amination chemistry can be employed on biaryl aldehyde intermediates such as 19, 9, and 14 to yield optionally substituted amines of general structure IVb, illustrated by compound 4037.
