Uses

Isoxepac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory with analgesic and antipyretic activity. It is more slowly absorbed and eliminated in the rat and rabbit after oral dosing than in the dog, rhesus monkey and man.It can be used to treat allergic rhinitis, urticaria, and skin diseases with itching symptoms.

Definition

ChEBI: Isoxepac is a dibenzooxazepine.

Preparation

Isoxic acid is an important intermediate in the synthesis of the new preferred anti-allergic drug, olopatadine hydrochloride, preparation method of isoxepac:(1) condensation: prepare p-hydroxyphenylaceticacid 8-12 part, phthalide 6-12 part, sodium methylate 8-12 part by weight; Dissolve with DMAC and to add said sodium methylate behind said p-hydroxyphenylaceticacid and the phthalide; Be that 0.1-10Pa is heated to 80-170 ℃ of reaction 3-10h at pressure then; Regulate the pH value to 1-5,4-(2-carboxyl benzyloxy) toluylic acid is separated out in crystallization;(2) cyclization: with Glacial acetic acid min. 99.5 dissolving step (1) gained 4-(2-carboxyl benzyloxy) toluylic acid, adding 3-52 weight part polyphosphoric acid again, is that 0.1-10Pa is heated to 30-100 ℃ of reaction 3-12h at pressure, and crystallisation by cooling gets the Isoxepac bullion then;(3) purify: behind the said Isoxepac bullion of acetic acid ethyl dissolution, refining decolouring gets the Isoxepac product.https://patents.google.com/patent/CN102838582A/en

Preparation method of olopatadine hydrochloride

The method comprises the following steps: [3 - (dimethylamino) propyl] triphenylphosphonium bromide hydrobromide is added into tetrahydrofuran. The sodium hydride and dimethyl sulfoxide are added 11 - oxo -6, 11 - dihydrodibenzo [b, e] oxazepine -2 - acetic acid and stirred until the reaction system forms a black brown suspension reaction. The reaction solution is quenched by a mixed solution of purified water and tetrahydrofuran, and then the aqueous phase is treated with a mixed solvent of hydrochloric acid and n-butanol. The olopatadine hydrochloride is stirred and added with hydrochloric acid to form a white turbid liquid, and then is filtered through stirring after stirring, and is dried to obtain olopatadine hydrochloride, and the prepared oxalolopatadine hydrochloride is high in yield and short in reaction route.

New method for preparation of 6,11-dihydro-11-oxo dibenzo [b, e] oxepin-2-acetic acid

The present invention provides a new method for preparation of 6,11-dihydro-11-oxo dibenzo [b, e] oxepin-2-acetic acid, and the method is as follows: poly phosphoric acid, glacial acetic acid, cyclohexane and 4-(2-hydroxy benzyloxy) phenylacetic acid are mixed and heated under stirring, the temperature of the reaction liquid is controlled at 70 +/-85 DEG C for stirring for reaction for 4 + /-2 hours; a proper amount of drinking water is added under stirring and stirred; after filtering, a solid is washed with the drinking water; and the solid is dried to obtain the 6,11-dihydro-11-oxo dibenzo [b, e] oxepin-2-acetic acid.

A process for the preparation of olopatadine hydrochloride

The invention relates to a method for preparing a compound, namely, olopatadine hydrochloride. The method specifically comprises the following steps: by taking 2-chloromethyl methyl benzoate and methyl 4-hydroxyphenylacetate as initial raw materials, performing etherification, hydrolysis and cyclization, further performing wittig reaction, and salifying, thereby synthesizing olopatadine hydrochloride. The process is gentle in process reaction condition, acetic anhydride is adopted to replace polyphosphoric acid, a hydrochloric acid organic solvent is adopted to effectively split Z/E type olopatadine so as to obtain olopatadine hydrochloride, conversion of Z/E configuration is effectively achieved after an E configuration byproduct is treated by using concentrated hydrochloric acid, the yield of olopatadine hydrochloride is increased, the product purity is good, and the feasibility of industrialization production is greatly improved.

Preparation technique of olopatadine hydrochloride

The invention relates to a preparation technique of olopatadine hydrochloride. The technique comprises the following steps: carrying out reaction on 2-(chloromethyl)benzoic acid and p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid to generate Isoxepac, and carrying out reaction on the Isoxepac and a Wittig-horner agent generated by N,N-dimethylaminochloropropane hydrochloride to generate hydrochloride, thereby obtaining the olopatadine hydrochloride. The method uses the low-cost raw materials for reaction, avoids using toxic agents in the reaction process, has the advantages of short process route, mild reaction conditions, controllable operation, short production cycle, low energy consumption, high yield, high purity and safe technique, and is suitable for industrial production.

Polymorphic forms of olopatadine hydrochloride and methods for producing olopatadine and salts thereof

The present invention provides a novel polymorphic form of olopatadine hydrochloride ([(Z)-3-(dimethylamino)propylidene]-6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-acetic acid hydrochloride), a selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist that is used for the treatment of ocular symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. The present invention also provides novel methods for producing olopatadine on a large scale, and in a manner that is cost effective, provides a low level of impurities and eliminates the need to use the costly and dangerous base, butyllithium, which is used in prior art reactions for making olopatadine. The present invention further provides novel processes for carrying out a large scale production of 3-dimethylaminopropyltriphenylphosphonium bromide and its corresponding hydrobromide salt, which are employed in the production of olopatadine, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of olopatadine.

Dibenzoxepinone hydroxylamines and hydroxamic acids: Dual inhibitors of cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase with potent topical antiinflammatory activity

Hydroxylamine and hydroxamic acid derivatives of a known nonsteroidal antiinflammatory dibenzoxepine series display both cyclooxygenase (CO) and 5- lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitory properties. Many of these new dual CO/5-LO inhibitors also exhibit potent topical antiinflammatory activity in the arachidonic acid-induced murine ear edema model. On the basis of their promising profile of in vitro and in vivo activities, hydroxamic acids 24h, 3-(6,11-dihydro-11-oxodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-yl)-N-hydroxy-N-methylpropanamide (HP 977), and 25, 3-(6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin-2-yl)-N-hydroxy-N- methylpropanamide (P10294), were selected as developmental candidates for the topical treatment of inflammatory skin disorders.

6,11-dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin-acetic acids and derivatives

6,11-Dihydrodibenz[b,e]oxepin-acetic acids and derivatives having the general formula STR1 are prepared by multi-step sequences. X is C=O, CHCl, CHBr, CH2 or CHOR4 ; Y is alkyl or alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogen or trifluoromethyl; n is 0, 1, 2 or 3; Z is COOR5, CH2 OR5, CONR25 or CONHOR5 ; and R1 -R5 are hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
