Gaucher disease (GD) results from inherited mutations in the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerobrosidase (GCase). Currently available treatment options for Type 1 GD are not efficacious for treating neuronopathic Type 2 and 3 GD due to their inability to cross the blood-brain barrier. In an effort to identify small molecules which could be optimized for CNS penetration we identified tamoxifen from a high throughput phenotypic screen on Type 2 GD patient-derived fibroblasts which reversed the disease phenotype. Structure activity studies around this scaffold led to novel molecules that displayed improved potency, efficacy and reduced estrogenic/antiestrogenic activity compared to the original hits. Here we present the design, synthesis and structure activity relationships that led to the lead molecule Compound 31.
Process for preparing acylaromatic compounds
-
, (2008/06/13)
This invention provides a process for preparing acylaromatics comprising reacting an aromatic compound with a carboxylic acid in the presence of a reaction medium comprising polyphosphoric acid and a strong protic acid. In one embodiment, the invention provides a process for preparing a para-acyl phenoxyethylamine comprising the steps of reacting a 2-phenoxyethyl compound bearing a leaving group on the ethyl 1-position with a carboxylic acid in the presence of a reaction medium comprising polyphosphoric acid and a strong protic acid, to form apara-acyl phenoxyethyl intermediate bearing the leaving group; and reacting the para-acyl phenoxyethyl intermediate with an amine that substitutes for the leaving group to form the para-acyl phenoxyethylamine.
The Use of the Perfluorotolyl Protecting Group in the Synthesis of Pure Z and E Isomers of 4-Hydroxytamoxifen -1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-1-butene>

The perfluorotolyl protecting group has been used in the synthesis of pure Z and E isomers of 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4a), a potent metabolite of the anticancer drug, tamoxifen (1a). 4-(Perfluorotolyloxy)phenyl magnesium bromide underwent addition to the carbonyl group of the easily prepared versatile ketone, 1--2-phenyl-1-butanone (7), without affecting the chloroethoxy group.Acid catalysed dehydration of the resulting carbinol gave a 1:1 mixture of isomeric ethers, (6a) and (6b), that were easily separated by chromatography and respectively converted to the Z (4a) and E (4b) isomers of 4-hydroxytamoxifen.The property of the perfluorotolyl function in enabling the separation of geometrical isomers is attributed to a combination of its lipophilicity and electron withdrawal.
