Abstract:
Provided herein are novel and useful combretastatin A-4 prodrug salts that increase the solubility of combretastatin A-4, readily regenerate combretastatin A-4 in vivo under normal physiological conditions, and which produce physiologically tolerable products as a result of the regeneration of combretastatin A-4.
Abstract:
Provided is a dynamic resolution method of enriching a desired isomer of an alpha-substituted carboxylic acid relative to an undesired isomer, the method comprising: (a) in a solvent, contacting the alpha-substituted carboxylic acid, wherein the alpha substitution is with a leaving group and wherein the alpha carbon is chiral, with a homochiral amine to form a salt that is partially insoluble under selected reaction conditions, wherein the homochiral amine is selected so that the solubility of the amine salt of the undesired alpha-substituted carboxylic acid is greater than that of the amine salt of the desired alpha-substituted carboxylic acid under the selected reaction conditions; (b) reacting under the selected reaction conditions the salt with a nucleophile, wherein the reacting is effective in producing a net increase in the less soluble amine salt of the alpha-substituted carboxylic acid, and wherein the selected conditions are selected to (i) promote nucleophilic substitution of the nucleophile and the leaving group or (ii) to produce the increase in the less soluble amine salt in the absence of a strong base; and (c) maintaining the reaction for a period of time effective to increase the amount of the desired alpha-substituted carboxylic acid isomer.

Abstract:
Multiple samples are prepared in slurry form and deposited through a funnel plate by a multiprobe liquid handler into an array of inserts situated in openings (16) in a housing (B). Each insert (A) has a recess (18) that extends through the insert body (10) and a filter disc (12) situated in the recess to support the sample. The filter is held in place by an annular part (14) which defines a channel providing access to the filter through the lower portion (26) of the recess. A pressure differential is created across each of the filters by attaching a vacuum manifold to the bottom of the housing to simultaneously remove the liquid from each of the samples, leaving the samples in powder form. The housing is then placed in the X-ray diffractometer for sequential analysis of each of the samples, while the samples are situated in the inserts.
Abstract:
N-protected-L-homocysteine disulfide of the formula (I) or an activated form thereof is reacted with (S)-2-amino-6,6-dimethoxyhexanoic acid, methyl ester to give the disulfide intermediate of the formula (II). The disulfide intermediate of formula (II) is reacted to cleave the disulfide bond and the resulting monomer is subjected to an acid catalyzed cyclization reaction to give the N-protected lactam of the formula (III). Removal of the N-protecting group gives [4S-(4 alpha ,7 alpha ,10a beta ]-4-aminooctahydro-5-oxo-7H-pyrido[2,1-b][1,3]thiazepine-7-carboxylic acid, methyl ester which along with its salt is useful as an intermediate in the preparation of the dual inhibitor [4S- [4 alpha (R*),7 alpha ,10a beta ]]-octahydro-4-[(2-mercapto-1-oxo-3-phenylpropyl)amino]-5-oxo-7H-pyrido-[2,1-b][1,3]thiazepine-7-carboxylic acid.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to combretastatin A-4 phosphate prodrug mono- and di-organic optionally substituted aliphatic amine salts, mono- and di-amino acid salts, and mono- and di-amino acid ester salts, which salts have greater solubility than native combretastatin A-4, and rapidly regenerate combretastatin A-4 under physiological conditions. The use of these compounds in the manufacture of a medicament for modulating tumor growth or metastasis in an animal, a pharmaceutical composition comprising these compounds and a process for preparing them are also described.
