Abstract:
The object of the present invention is the development of new chiral auxiliaries for improved &bgr;-lactam formation that control both the diastereoselectivity of &bgr;-lactam formation and which can be removed without destruction of the sensitive azetidinone ring, providing valuable intermediates for coupling to the C-13 hydroxyl group of anti-tumor taxanes, such as paclitaxel. Further, the object of the present invention is enantiomerically pure (S)-(−)-1-(p-methoxy-phenyl)propyl-1-amine.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to prodrugs that can be activated at the preferred site of action in order to selectively deliver the corresponding therapeutic parent drugs to target cells or to the target site. This invention will therefore primarily but not exclusively relate to tumor cells as target cells. More specifically the prodrugs are compounds of the formula V—(W)k—(X)l—A—Z, wherein: V is a specifier; (W)k—(X)l—A is an elongated self-elimination spacer system; W and X are each a 1,(4+2n) electronic cascade spacer, being the same or different; A is either a spacer group of formula (Y)m wherein: Y is a 1,(4+2n) electronic cascade spacer, or a group of formula U being a cyclization elimination spacer; Z is a therapeutic drug; k, l and m are integers from 0 (included) to 5 (included); n is an integer of 0 (included) to 10 (included), with the provisos that: —when A is (Y)m: k+l+m≧1, and if k+l+m=1; —when A is U: k+l≧1.
Abstract:
A paclitaxel prodrug has a paclitaxel portion coupled to a cleavable N-(aliphatic or aromatic)-O-glycosyl carbamate spacer group, and can be administered orally, topically or by injection to provide an anti-tumor effect, the prodrug being activated by a hydrolizing enzyme, an endogeneous enzyme or an exogeneous enzyme.
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel esters and in particular to some novel esters of glucuronide prodrugs of anthracyclines having tunable water-solubility, their synthesis and use in tumor-selective chemotherapy. It appeared that in the final step in the synthesis of these prodrugs, i.e. the coupling of the glucuronide spacer moiety to the parent drug molecule, protection of the sugar hydroxyls is, surprisingly, no longer required. A process for the preparation of these unprotected sugar spacer moieties is also disclosed.

Abstract:
10-Deacetylbaccatin III is selectively acylated to baccatin III and derivatives thereof in high yield with anhydrides (e.g. acetic anhydride), catalysed by Lewis acids. Extremely effective catalysts in this reaction are compounds of the formula ML.sub.x wherein M is a rare earth metal and L is a anion, preferably a strong electron withdrawing counterion such as triflate.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a novel method for the chemical preparation of epirubicin or acid addition salts thereof, in particular the HCl salt, from daunorubicin. This process avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. First daunorubicin is methanolized to obtain daunomycinone and daunosamine methyl ether in very high yields. Daunomycinone is converted to 14-acetoxy daunomycinone by bromination and acetoxylation, while daunosamine methyl ether is converted into an N-protected 4'-epi daunosamine. The choice of the protecting group of the amino group of the daunosamine methyl ether is important because it has to be removed after coupling the sugar with the aglycone without causing side reactions of the aglycone. Two protecting groups were selected: the trifluoroacetyl group and the allyloxycarbonyl group. After coupling the 14-acetoxy daunomycinone with the N-protected 4'-epi daunosamine, the obtained compound was converted to epirubicin; for the latter conversion two routes were developed, depending on the amino-protecting group.
