- A novel enantioselective alkylation and its application to the synthesis of an anticancer agent
-
A novel enantioselective alkylation of double benzylic substrates with secondary electrophiles is reported. A simple norephedrine-based chiral ligand was synthesized that gives alkylation product in 95% yield and 95% ee. A unique water effect on the enantioselectivity was unveiled. Good to excellent ee values were obtained with a number of double benzylic substrates and secondary electrophiles. This novel reaction has been applied to the synthesis of a promising anticancer agent.

- Enzymatic kinetic resolution of piperidine atropisomers: Synthesis of a key intermediate of the farnesyl protein transferase inhibitor, SCH66336
-
The resolution of secondary amines via enzyme-catalyzed acylation is a relatively rare process. The kinetic resolution of a series of intermediates of SCH66336 (1), by either enzymatic acylation of the pendant piperidine (4, 5) or hydrolysis of the corresponding carbamate 3, was investigated. In the case of 4, the molecule exists as a pair of enantiomers due to atropisomerism about the exocyclic double bond. The enzymatic acylation of (±)-4 was optimized in terms of acylating agent, solvent, and moisture content. The use of lipase, Toyobo LIP-300, and trifluoroethyl isobutyrate as acylating agent resulted in isobutyrylation of the (+)-enantiomer, which is easily separated from the unwanted (-)-4. Hydrolysis of the isobutyramide 6c yielded the desired (+)-4 in high enantiomeric excess. (-)-4 may be recovered from the resolution step, racemized, and resubjected to enzymatic acylation to increase material throughput.

- (+)-4-[2-[4-(8-chloro-3,10-dibromo-6,11-dihydro-5H- benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridin-11(R)-yl)-1-piperidinyl]-2-oxo-ethyl]-1- piperidinecarboxamide (SCH-66336): A very potent farnesyl protein transferase inhibitor as a novel antitumor agent
-
We have previously shown that appropriate modification of the benzocycloheptapyridine tricyclic ring system can provide potent farnesyl protein transferase (FPT) inhibitors with good cellular activity. Our laboratories have also established that incorporation of either pyridinylacetyl N-oxide or 4-N-carboxamidopiperidinylacetyl moieties results in pharmacokinetically stable inhibitors that are orally efficacious in nude mice. We now demonstrate that further elaboration of the tricyclic ring system by introducing a bromine atom at the 7- or the 10-position of the 3- bromo-8-chlorotricyclic ring system provides compounds that have superior potency and selectivity in FPT inhibition. These compounds have good serum levels and half-lives when given orally to rodents and primates. In vitro and in vivo evaluation of a panel of these inhibitors has led to identification of 15 (SCH 66336) as a highly potent (IC50 = 1.9 nM) antitumor agent that is currently undergoing human clinical trials.
