- NOVEL IMINOSUGARS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
-
Iminosugar compounds are described that have inbuilt delivery features by virtue of covalent incorporation of a tocopherol moiety, or alternative moieties that are analogues of tocopherol or select analogues of cholesterol, or its antagonist “Ezitimibe”;

- Process development of a potent glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor
-
An economic, scalable process for the production of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) inhibitor 7 has been developed. Herein we report a three-step synthesis to aldehyde 4 with high yield and purity that employs the selective cleavage of an endocyclic C-O b

- Large-scale synthesis of the glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor N-[5-(adamantan-1-yl-methoxy)-pentyl]-1-deoxynojirimycin
-
A synthetic route for the preparation of glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor N-[5-(adamantan-1-yl-methoxy)-pentyl]-1-deoxynojirimycin methanesulfonic acid salt (AMP-DNM) has been developed. Herein we report the development and optimization of this synthetic route from its initial version in an academic research laboratory at milligram-scale to the final optimized route that was implemented in a cGMP miniplant on kilogram-scale. The definitive route starts with the separate synthesis of building blocks 2,3,4,6-tetra-O- benzyl-1-deoxynojirimycin and 5-(adamantan-1-ylmethoxy)-pentanal. The aldehyde was synthesized from 1,5-pentanediol in five steps and 45% overall yield. Protected 1-deoxynojirimycin was prepared by a successive hemiacetal reduction/Swern oxidation/double reductive amination sequence of 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose in 52% overall yield. Reductive amination of the two building blocks produced the benzylprotected penultimate that was isolated as its crystalline (+)DTTA salt in 68% yield. Hydrogenolysis of the penultimate and crystallization of the end product as its methanesulfonic acid salt produced AMP-DNM in 76% yield with a purity of >99.5%. The described route enables the production of multikilogram amounts of inhibitor AMP-DNM as a stable crystalline solid with high purity under cGMP control.
