RG7388 is a MDM2 inhibitor with superior potency and selectivity

RG7388 is an oral, selective, small molecule MDM2 antagonist that inhibits binding of MDM2 to p53.

RG7388 is the second generation inhibitor of P53-MDM2 interaction. It is orally active, potently and selectively antagonizing the P53-MDM2 interaction with Ki at low nM. It is designed to selectively target MDM2, a key negative regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Blocking this essential interaction may lead to apoptosis via activation of p53 in tumor cells with functional p53 signaling. It is currently in clinical evaluation.

Description:
Value IC50: 30 nM (IC50 Average of three wt-p53 SJSA1 Cancer cell lines, RKO, HCT116)
. RG7388 is an Oral, Selective, small molecule antagonist that inhibits binding of MDM2 to p53 MDM2 Blocking the MDM2-p53 Interaction stabilizes p53 and activates p53-mediated cell death and inhibition of cell Growth.
RG7388 Showed all the Characteristics expected of an MDM2 inhibitor in terms of speci? c binding to the target, mechanistic outcomes Resulting from Activation of the p53 pathway, and in vivo ?. Although e cacy Mechanism of Action of the cellular is identical to that of RG7388 RG7112, it is much More potent and Selective.

Tumor suppressor p53 is a powerful growth suppressive and pro-apoptotic protein that plays a central role in protection from tumor development.A potent transcription factor, p53 is activated following cellular stress and regulates multiple downstream genes implicated in cell cycle control, apoptosis, DNA repair, and senescence.While p53 is inactivated in about 50% of human cancers by mutation or deletion, it remains wild-type in the remaining cases but its function is impaired by other mechanisms. One such mechanism is the overproduction of MDM2, the primary negative regulator of p53, which effectively disables p53 function.An E3 ligase, MDM2 binds p53 and regulates p53 protein levels through an autoregulatory feedback loop. Stabilization and activation of wild-type p53 by inhibition of MDM2 binding has been explored as a novel approach for cancer therapy.

Abstract Image

Restoration of p53 activity by inhibition of the p53–MDM2 interaction has been considered an attractive approach for cancer treatment. However, the hydrophobic protein–protein interaction surface represents a significant challenge for the development of small-molecule inhibitors with desirable pharmacological profiles. RG7112 was the first small-molecule p53–MDM2 inhibitor in clinical development. Here, we report the discovery and characterization of a second generation clinical MDM2 inhibitor, RG7388, with superior potency and selectivity.

The Grignard reaction of the protected epoxide (I) with 4-(dimethylamino)phenylmagnesium bromide (II) gives the 11-substituted compound (III), which is submitted to an Oppenhauer oxidation with cyclohexanone and aluminum isopropoxide yielding the 17-keto derivative (IV). The photochemical epimerization of the 13beta-methyl of (IV) with a high pressure mercury lamp in dioxane affords the epimer (V), which is condensed with 1-tetrahydropyranyloxy-2-propyne (VI) by means of butyllithium in THF to give the acetylenic alcohol (VII). Finally, this compound is reduced with hydrogen over Pd/C in ethanol and deprotected and dehydrated by treatment with hot aqueous acetic acid.

US-based clinical stage biopharmaceutical firm Arno Therapeutics (ARNI) has started enrolling patients in a Phase I/II trial (NCT02049190) assessing its oral, anti-progestin hormone blocker ‘onapristone’ in men with advanced castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) after failure of abiraterone or enzalutamide.

In previous Phase II clinical trials, onapristone has shown to exhibit anti-tumour activity in patients with breast cancer.

The pre-clinical testing has showed that onapristone had blocked the activation of the progesterone receptor (PR), which is believed to be a mechanism that inhibits the growth of APR-driven breast, endometrial and other tumours.

The company said that tests for the activated form of the progesterone receptor (APR) have the potential to function as a biomarker of anti-progestin activity, as detected by a companion diagnostic under development.

Enrolment of patients in the randomised, open-label Phase I/II trial follows approval of an Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier from the UK Health Authority, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), ethics committee authorisation and subsequent site authorisation.

Arno Therapeutics president and chief executive officer Glenn Mattes said globally, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men, and the fifth leading cause of death from cancer in men, with an estimated 1.1 million new cases diagnosed and 307,000 deaths during 2012 alone, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

“These numbers are staggering, and our ultimate goal is to evaluate onapristone in the subset of advanced CRPC patients who are more likely to respond to this personalised treatment, for which there is an immense unmet medical need,” Mattes said.

“The trial marks Arno’s second Phase I study actively enrolling this year and we are excited by the momentum generated thus far.”

The Phase I/II trial, designed to assess the safety and anti-cancer activity of onapristone in the select patient population, is being carried out at the Institute of Cancer Research, London, and the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust in the UK.

A total of 60 patients will be enrolled in the trial, which additional sites are planned for in the UK.

The company has engaged Biotrial, a drug evaluation and pharmacology research company, as its contract research organisation (CRO) for the Phase I/II trial.

The trial will evaluate onapristone in extended-release tablet formulations in up to five dose levels (10mg-50mg BID) in patients with advanced CRPC where PR may be contributing to tumour progression.

Patients in the trial will be evaluated for whether their tumours express APR, which may help identify patients who are more likely to respond to onapristone.

A second group of patients will be included at the recommended Phase II dose to gain additional understanding of the onapristone safety profile and potential anti-cancer activity.

This makes the drug distinct in mechanism of action compared to raltegravir and elvitegravir, which bind at the catalytic site.^[2] In October 2011, Gilead Sciences purchased exclusive rights to develop BI 224436 and several related compounds under investigation in Boehringer Ingelheim’s noncatalytic site integrase inhibitor program.^[3]^[4]

Novel hemi-succinate salt form of (2S)-2-tert-butoxy-2-(4-(2,3-dihydropyrano[4,3,2-de]quinolin-7-yl)-2-methylquinolin-3-yl)acetic acid (presumed to be BI-224436) and its crystalline forms is desc in WO-2014055618.

Gilead, under license from BI, was developing BI-224436 for the oral treatment of HIV infection. In September 2011, this drug had entered phase 1 trials. Picks up from WO2012138670, claiming a process for the preparation of the same drug. Also see the concurrently published WO2014055603. This compound is claimed specifically in WO2009062285 and generically in WO2007131350.

BI 224436 has antiviral EC50 values ranging between 4 and 15 nM against different HIV-1 laboratory strains and CC50 values >90 μM in different cells, including peripheral blood mononuclear cells. BI 224436 also has a low, 2.2-fold shift in antiviral potency in the presence of 50% human serum and by virtue of a steep dose-response curve slope, BI 224436 exhibits serum-shifted EC95 values ranging between 22 and 75 nM. Drug combination studies performed in cell-based antiviral assays have shown that BI 224436 displays, at the least, an additive effect in combination with any of the marketed antiviral classes including INSTIs. BI 224436 has drug-like ADME properties including a Caco-2 cell permeability of 14 .10-6 cm/sec, solubility > 24 mg/ml in the pH range 2.0-6.8 and low cytochrome P450 inhibition. Moreover BI 224436 shows excellent PK profiles in rat (CL=0.7% QH; F= 54%), monkey (CL= 23% QH; F= 82%) and dog (CL= 8%QH; F= 81%).

BC–7013 [14-O-[(3-Hydroxymethyl-phenylsulfanyl)-acetyl]-mutilin] is a novel semi-synthetic pleuromutilin derivative that inhibits prokaryotic protein synthesis.

Pleuromutilins were discovered as natural-product antibiotics in 1950. Tiamulin was the first pleuromutilin compound to be approved for veterinary use in 1979, followed by valnemulin in 1999. It was not until 2007 that retapamulin became the first pleuromutilin approved for use in humans. However, retapamulin is limited to topical application. Recent advances in lead optimization have led to the synthesis of pleuromutilins that combine potent antibacterial activity with favorable pharmaceutical properties, making these compounds suitable for oral and intravenous delivery. Most pleuromutilins have an antibacterial spectrum that spans the common pathogens involved in both skin and respiratory tract infections. Two new pleuromutilins, BC-3205 and BC-7013 (both Nabriva Therapeutics AG), have entered clinical trials. In this review, the key properties of pleuromutilin derivatives, designed primarily through modifications at the C(14) side chain, are presented, and the potential of these compounds in systemic therapy in humans is discussed.

Discovered in 1959, pleuromutilins have the potential to be developed as a new class of antibiotics for systemic use in humans. Although in 2007 retapamulin became the first pleuromutilin approved for topical use in humans, it was not until 2011 that a pleuromutilin antibiotic, BC‑3781, was tested successfully in a Phase 2 clinical trial for systemic use in patients.

BC‑7013 belongs to a series of proprietary Nabriva pleuromutilins, which have been designed by Nabriva’s medicinal chemists to fulfill the specific requirements of a topical antibacterial agent. The clinical study is designed to evaluate safety and tolerability of BC‑7013.

In recent years, bacterial infections resistant to most forms of current antibiotics have appeared throughout the world and are currently the third leading cause of death in the US and Western Europe. Pleuromutilins represent a new class of antibiotics, inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by binding to unique sites on the 50S subunit of the ribosome. These new antibiotics have two distinct advantages: they have a very low potential for cross-resistance with other established antibacterial classes and display a very low potential for resistance development.

“This is the second pleuromutilin antibiotic Nabriva has moved into clinical trials since our inception 18 months ago, emphasising our view of the potential of this new antibiotic class”, said Rodger Novak, Chief Operating Officer of Nabriva.

Nabriva’s first pleuromutilin program to enter the clinic, BC‑3205, is an oral agent with activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and atypicals. BC‑3205 is currently in a multi-dose Phase 1 trial.

Pleuromutilin antibiotics are a novel clinically validated class of antibiotics that specifically inhibit bacterial protein synthesis. Their antibacterial profile covers resistant pathogens, including MRSA, that cause diseases such as respiratory tract and skin infections.

Nabriva Therapeutics’ pleuromutilins are unique antimicrobial compounds that interfere with bacterial protein synthesis via a specific interaction with the 23S rRNA of the 50S bacterial ribosome subunit. These antibacterials have a distinct anti-bacterial profile. Their unique mechanism of action implies a very low probability of cross resistance with other antibacterials. In an industry first, Nabriva’s world class medicinal chemistry expertise achieved the development of intravenous and orally available pleuromutilins clearing the way for i.v. and oral therapy with this antibiotic class. This achievement constitutes a significant milestone in providing appropriate medication for the treatment of life-threatening bacterial infections offering a distinctly different class of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial diseases.

New class of antibiotics on the human market
High target specificity plus a unique mode of action ensures differentiation from existing antibiotic classes and compounds in development
Very low propensity for resistance development
Accessibility to both Gram-positive & Gram-negative ribosomes translates into broad spectrum activity against a wide range of infections
Excellent safety profile
Oral, intraveneous and topical delivery

Nabriva is the first company with proof of concept achieved for the systemic use of pleuromutilins in patients. Two new pleuromutilins, BC‑3781 and BC‑7013, from Nabriva have shown excellent results in clinical studies. BC‑3781 is about to enter Phase 3. Since Nabriva´s pleuromutilin antibiotics have an ideal anti-bacterial spectrum for both skin and respiratory infections and are available as both oral and i.v. formulations, they address a significant medical need and constitute an excellent commercial opportunity.

mutilins

Mutilin is minor metabolite of the pleuromutilin family, originally isolated from Pleurotus mutilus. Mutilin is formed by hydrolysis of the hydroxyacetyl ester of pleuromutilin, and is a degradation product and in vivo metabolite of

pleuromutilin. Interest in mutilin has focused on its potential as a substrate for generating unique metabolites via
biosynthesis to provide a broader range of targets for semi-synthetic modification.

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.

Marizomib, a highly potent proteasome inhibitor, is in early clinical development at Triphase Research and Development I Corp for the treatment of relapsed or relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Phase I clinical trials have also been carried out for the treatment of solid tumors and lymphoma; however, no recent developments have been reported for these studies.

HDAC inhibitors halt tumor cell differentiation and growth, and when combined with marizomib in preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies, show additive and synergistic antitumor activities.

The compound was discovered from a new marine-obligate gram-positive actinomycete (Salinispora tropica). Preclinical studies suggest that this next-generation compound may be superior to other proteasome inhibitors, with broader target inhibition, faster onset and longer duration of action, higher potency, and oral and intravenous availability. By inhibiting proteasomes, marizomib prevents the breakdown of proteins involved in signal transduction, which blocks growth and induces apoptosis in cancer cells.

In 2013, orphan drug designation was assigned in the U.S. for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

The compound was originally developed by Nereus Pharmaceuticals, which was acquired by Triphase Research and Development in 2012.

marizomib is a naturally-occurring salinosporamide, isolated from the marine actinomycete Salinospora tropica, with potential antineoplastic activity. Marizomib irreversibly binds to and inhibits the 20S catalytic core subunit of the proteasome by covalently modifying its active site threonine residues; inhibition of ubiquitin-proteasome mediated proteolysis results in an accumulation of poly-ubiquitinated proteins, which may result in the disruption of cellular processes, cell cycle arrest, the induction of apoptosis, and the inhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis. This agent more may more potent and selective than the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib

Marizomib (NPI-0052) is an oral, irreversible ββ-lactone derivative that binds selectively to the active proteasomal sites. In vivo studies with marizomib demonstrate reduced tumor growth without significant toxicity in myeloma xenograft models. A phase I trial in refractory and relapsed MM is under way.

Salinosporamide A is a potent proteasome inhibitor used as an anticancer agent that recently entered phase I human clinical trials for the treatment of multiple myeloma only three years after its discovery.^[1]^[2] This novel marine natural product is produced by the recently described obligate marine bacteria Salinispora tropica and Salinispora arenicola, which are found in ocean sediment. Salinosporamide A belongs to a family of compounds, known collectively as salinosporamides, which possess a densely functionalized γ-lactam-β-lactone bicyclic core.

Salinosporamide A was discovered by William Fenical and Paul Jensen from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA. In preliminary screening, a high percentage of the organic extracts of cultured Salinospora strains possessed antibiotic and anticancer activities, which suggests that these bacteria are an excellent resource for drug discovery.Salinospora strain CNB-392 was isolated from a heat-treated marine sediment sample and cytotoxicity-guided fractionation of the crude extract led to the isolation of salinosporamide A. Although salinosporamide A shares an identical bicyclic ring structure with omuralide, it is uniquely functionalized. Salinosporamide A displayed potent in vitro cytotoxicity against HCT-116 human colon carcinoma with an IC50 value of 11 ng mL-1. This compound also displayed potent and highly selective activity in the NCI’s 60-cell-line panel with a mean GI50 value (the concentration required to achieve 50% growth inhibition) of less than 10 nM and a greater than 4 log LC50 differential between resistant and susceptible cell lines. The greatest potency was observed against NCI-H226 non-small cell lung cancer, SF-539 CNS cancer, SK-MEL-28 melanoma, and MDA-MB-435 breast cancer (all with LC50 values less than 10 nM). Salinosporamide A was tested for its effects on proteasome function because of its structural relationship to omuralide. When tested against purified 20S proteasome, salinosporamide A inhibited proteasomal chymotrypsin-like proteolytic activity with an IC50 value of 1.3 nM.^[3] This compound is approximately 35 times more potent than omuralide which was tested as a positive control in the same assay. Thus, the unique functionalization of the core bicyclic ring structure of salinosporamide A appears to have resulted in a molecule that is a significantly more potent proteasome inhibitor than omuralide.^[1]

Salinosporamide A inhibits proteasome activity by covalently modifying the active site threonine residues of the 20S proteasome.

Biosynthesis

Salinosporamide A and B building blocks

Proposed biosynthesis of the nonproteinogenic amino-acid beta-hydroxycyclohex-2′-enylanine (3) (R = H or S~PCP) via a shunt in the phenylalanine biosynthetic pathway

Biosynthesis

It was originally hypothesized that salinosporamide B was a biosynthetic precursor to salinosporamide A due to their structural similarities.

It was thought that the halogenation of the unactivated methyl group was catalyzed by a non-heme iron halogenase.^[4]^[5]Recent work using ¹³C-labeled feeding experiments reveal distinct biosynthetic origins of salinosporamide A and B.^[4]^[6]

While they share the biosynthetic precursors acetate and presumed β-hydroxycyclohex-2′-enylalanine (3), they differ in the origin of the four-carbon building block that gives rise to their structural differences involving the halogen atom. A hybrid polyketide synthase-nonribosomal peptide synthetase (PKS-NRPS) pathway is most likely the biosynthetic mechanism in which acetyl-CoA and butyrate-derived ethylmalonyl-CoA condense to yield the β-ketothioester (4), which then reacts with (3) to generate the linear precursor (5).

The first stereoselective synthesis was reported by Rajender Reddy Leleti and E. J.Corey.^[7] Later several routes to the total synthesis of salinosporamide A have been reported.^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]

In vitro studies using purified 20S proteasomes showed that salinosporamide A has lower EC50 for trypsin-like (T-L) activity than does Bortezomib. In vivo animal model studies show marked inhibition of T-L activity in response to salinosporamide A, whereas bortezomib enhances T-L proteasome activity.

Initial results from early-stage clinical trials of salinosporamide A in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients were presented at the 2011 American Society of Hematology annual meeting.^[11] Further early-stage trials of the drug in a number of different cancers are ongoing.^[12]

Salinosporamide A(1) was recently discovered by Fenical et al. as a bioactive product of a marine microorganism that is widely distributed in ocean sediments. Feeling, R. H.; Buchanan, G. O.; Mincer, T. J.; Kauffman, C. A.; Jensen, P. R.; Fenical, W., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2003, 42, 355–357.

Structurally Salinosporamide A closely resembles the terrestrial microbial product omuralide (2a) that was synthesized by Corey et al. several years ago and demonstrated to be a potent inhibitor of proteasome function. See, (a) Corey, E. J.; Li, W. D., Z. Chem. Pharm. Bull., 1999, 47, 1–10; (b) Corey, E. J., Reichard, G. A.; Kania, R., Tetrahedron Lett., 1993, 34, 6977–6980; (c) Corey, E. J.; Reichard, G. A., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1992, 114, 10677–10678; (d) Fenteany, G.; Standaert, R. F.; Reichard, G. A.; Corey, E. J.; Schreiber, S. L., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1994, 91, 3358–3362.

Omuralide is generated by β-lactonization of the N-acetylcysteine thiolester lactacystin (2b) that was first isolated by the Omura group as a result of microbial screening for nerve growth factor-like activity. See, Omura, S., Fujimoto, T., Otoguro, K., Matsuzaki, K., Moriguchi, R., Tanaka, H., Sasaki, Y., Antibiot., 1991, 44, 113–116; Omura, S., Matsuzaki, K., Fujimoto, T., Kosuge, K., Furuya, T., Fujita, S., Nakagawa, A., J. Antibiot., 1991, 44, 117–118.

Salinosporamide A, the first compound Fenical’s group isolated from Salinospora, not only had a never-before-seen chemical structure 1, but is also a highly selective and potent inhibitor of cancer-cell growth. The compound is an even more effective proteasome inhibitor than omuralide and, in addition, it displays surprisingly high in vitro cytotoxic activity against many tumor cell lines (IC₅₀values of 10 nM or less). Fenical et al. first found the microbe, which they’ve dubbed Salinospora, off the coasts of the Bahamas and in the Red Sea. See,Appl. Environ. Microbiol., 68, 5005 (2002).

Fenical et al. have shown that Salinospora species requires a salt environment to live. Salinospora thrives in hostile ocean-bottom conditions: no light, low temperature, and high pressure. The Fenical group has now identified Salinosporain five oceans, and with 10,000 organisms per cm³of sediment and several distinct strains in each sample; and according to press reports, they’ve been able to isolate 5,000 strains. See, Chemical & Engineering News, 81, 37 (2003).

A great percentage of the cultures Fenical et al. have tested are said to have shown both anticancer and antibiotic activity. Like omuralide 2a, salinosporamide A inhibits the proteasome, an intracellular enzyme complex that destroys proteins the cell no longer needs. Without the proteasome, proteins would build up and clog cellular machinery. Fast-growing cancer cells make especially heavy use of the proteasome, so thwarting its action is a compelling drug strategy. See, Fenical et al., U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003-0157695A1

Conversion of (16) to Salinosporamide A(1).

A solution of triol ester 16 (0.164 g, 0.5 mmol) in 3 N aq LiOH (3 mL) and THF (1 mL) was stirred at 5° C. for 4 days until hydrolysis was complete. The acid reaction mixture was acidified with phosphoric acid (to pH 3.5). The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was extracted with EtOAc, separated, and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude trihydroxy carboxylic acid 16a (not shown). The crude acid was suspended in dry CH₂Cl₂(2 mL), treated with pyridine (0.5 mL) and stirred vigorously at 23° C. for 5 min. To this solution was added BOPCl (152 mg, 0.6 mmol) at 23° C. under argon, and stirring was continued for 1 h. The solvent was removed under high vacuum and the residue was suspended in dry CH₃CN (1 mL) and treated with pyridine (1 mL). To this solution was added PPh₃Cl₂(333 mg, 1.0 mmol) at 23° C. under argon with stirring. After 1 h the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate-CH₂Cl₂, 1:5) to give the pure β-lactone 1 (100 mg, 64%) as a colorless solid.
