Stereoselective synthesis of 9-cis-retinoic acid by Suzuki reaction
Pazos, Yolanda,De Lera, Angel R.
, p. 8287 - 8290 (1999)
The entire polyenic side chain of ethyl 9-cis-retinoate (7) has been stereoselectively synthesized and attached to the hydrophobic ring by a high-yielding thallium-accelerated Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. The Suzuki reaction partners, tetraenyl iodide 18 and alkenyl organoborane 19, are more conveniently used immediately after generation from their precursors. Alternative approaches using either the Stille reaction or a Suzuki reaction with a shorter polyenic component proved less efficient. The highly convergent sequence can be adapted to the preparation of analogs of 9-cis-retinoic acid (2), the natural ligand for the retinoid X (RXR) subfamily of nuclear receptors.

Stereoselective synthesis of 7E,9E- and 7E,9Z-β-ionylideneacetaldehydes was accomplished from the β-ionone tricarbonyl iron complex, and the latter was converted to 9Z-retinoic acid.

Catalytic Z-isomerization of retinoids to their thermodynamically less stable Z-isomer remains a challenge. In this report, we present a photochemical approach for the catalytic Z-isomerization of retinoids using monochromatic wavelength UV irradiation treatment. We have developed a straightforward approach for the synthesis of Z-retinoids in high yield, overcoming common obstacles normally associated with their synthesis. Calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) have allowed us to correlate the experimentally observed Z-isomer distribution of retinoids with the energies of chemically important intermediates, which include ground- and excited-state potential energy surfaces. We also demonstrate the application of the current method by synthesizing gram-scale quantities of 9-cis-retinyl acetate 9Z-a. Operational simplicity and gram-scale ability make this chemistry a very practical solution to the problem of Z-isomer retinoid synthesis.

The C7-C12 triene fragment of 9-cis-retinoids 8 was stereoselectively generated by treatment of propargylic alcohol 3 with phenylsulfenyl chloride/triethylamine at -78 °C, followed by stereospecific reduction of the resulting vinylsulfoxide (t-BuLi, MeLi, MeOH, -78 °C). Thus, 9-cis- retinoic acid 2, the natural ligand of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) was straightforwardly synthesized from 8 in two steps.
Kinetic properties of the human liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase for retinal isomers
Bhat, Pangala V.,Samaha, Hiba
, p. 195 - 197 (1999)
Retinoic acid exerts pleiotropic effects by acting through two families of nuclear receptors, RAR and RXR. All-trans and 9-cis retinoic acid bind RARs, whereas 9-cis retinoic acid binds and activates only the RXRs. To understand the role of human liver cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH1) in retinoic acid synthesis, we examined the ability of ALDH1 to catalyze the oxidation of the naturally occurring retinal isomers. ALDH1 catalyzed the oxidation of all-trans, 9-cis, and 13-cis retinal with equal efficiency. However, the affinity to all-trans retinal (K(m) = 2.2 μM) was twofold higher than to 9-cis (K(m) = 5.5 μM) and 13-cis (K(m) = 4.6μM) retinal. All-trans retinol was a potent inhibitor of ALDH1 activity, and inhibited all-trans retinal oxidation uncompetitively. Comparison of the kinetic properties of ALDH1 for retinal isomers with those of previously reported rat kidney retinal dehydrogenase showed distinct differences, suggesting that ALDH1 may play a different role in retinal metabolism in liver.

Synthesis of High Specific Activity -9-cis-Retinoic Acid and Its Application for Identifying Retinoids with Unusual Binding Properties
Boehm, Marcus F.,McClurg, Michael R.,Pathirana, Charles,Mangelsdorf, David,White, Steven K.,et al.
, p. 408 - 414 (1994)
all-trans-Retinoic acid is known to bind to the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) resulting in an increase in their transcriptional activity.In contrast, recently identified 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA), which is an additional endogenous RA isomer, is capable of binding to both RARs and retinoid X receptors (RXRs).These distinct properties have raised questions as to the biological role governed by these two retinoic acid isomers and the set of target genes that they regulate.Herein, we report the synthesis of high specific activity -9-cis-RA and its application to study the ligand-binding properties of the various retinoid receptor subtypes.We examined the binding properties of RARs and RXRs for a series of synthetic retinoids and compared the ligand-binding properties of these arotinoid analogs with their ability to regulate gene expression via the retinoid receptors in a cotransfection assay.The utilization of the -9-cis-RA competitive binding assay and the cotransfection assay has made it possible to rapidly identify important structural features of retinoids leading to increased selectivity for either the RAR or RXR receptor subtypes.
Catalytic synthesis of 9-cis-retinoids: Mechanistic insights

The regioselective Z-isomerization of thermodynamically stable all-trans retinoids remains challenging, and ultimately limits the availability of much needed therapeutics for the treatment of human diseases. We present here a novel, straightforward approach for the catalytic Z-isomerization of retinoids using conventional heat treatment or microwave irradiation. A screen of 20 transition metal-based catalysts identified an optimal approach for the regioselective production of Z-retinoids. The most effective catalytic system was comprised of a palladium complex with labile ligands. Several mechanistic studies, including isotopic H/D exchange and state-of-the-art quantum chemical calculations using coupled cluster methods indicate that the isomerization is initiated by catalyst dimerization followed by the formation of a cyclic, six-membered chloropalladate catalyst-substrate adduct, which eventually opens to produce the desired Z-isomer. The synthetic development described here, combined with thorough mechanistic analysis of the underlying chemistry, highlights the use of readily available transition metal-based catalysts in straightforward formats for gram-scale drug synthesis.
Stereospecific synthesis process for tretinoin compounds

Page/Page column 10; 11, (2014/09/29)
A stereospecific synthesis process for tretinoin compounds comprises the following steps: using substituted triphenyl phosphine salt and β-formyl crotonic acid as raw material to carry out WITTIG reaction under the action of alkali; then adjusting the pH of the reaction liquid to 5-10; adding palladium compound or rhodium compound to carry out isomerization directly and obtain tretinoin compounds with desired configuration. The product yield of the process is high and the intermediate product in the reaction dose not need to be separated. The process is easy to operate and can save the production cost and as well is suitable for industrial production.

Retinoids are a class of chemical compounds which include both natural dietary vitamin A (retinol) metabolites and active synthetic analogs. Both experimental and clinical studies have revealed that retinoids regulate a wide variety of essential biological processes. In this study, we synthesized 11C-labeled all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), the most potent biologically active metabolite of retinol and used in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia. The synthesis of 11C-labeled ATRA was accomplished by a combination of rapid Pd(0)-mediated C-[11C] methylation of the corresponding pinacol borate precursor prepared by 8 steps and hydrolysis. [11C]ATRA will prove useful as a PET imaging agent, particularly for elucidating the improved therapeutic activity of ATRA (natural retinoid) for acute promyelocytic leukemia by comparing with the corresponding PET probe [11C]Tamibarotene (artificial retinoid).

Retinol (vitamin A) circulates at 1-4 μM concentration and is easily measured in serum. However, retinol is biologically inactive. Its metabolite, retinoic acid (RA), is believed to be responsible for biological effects of vitamin A, and hence the measurement of retinol concentrations is of limited value. A UHPLC-MS/MS method using isotope-labeled internal standards was developed and validated for quantitative analysis of endogenous RA isomers and metabolites. The method was used to measure retinoids in serum samples from 20 healthy men. In the fed state, the measured concentrations were 3.1 ± 0.2 nM for at RA, 0.1 ± 0.02 nM for 9-cisRA, 5.3 ± 1.3 nM for 13-cisRA, 0.4 ± 0.4 nM for 9,13-dicisRA, and 17.2 ± 6.8 nM for 4oxo-13-cisRA. The concentrations of the retinoids were not significantly different when measured after an overnight fast (3.0 ± 0.1 nM for atRA, 0.09 ± 0.01nM for 9-cisRA, 3.9 ± 0.2 nM for 13-cisRA, 0.3 ± 0.1 nM for 9,13-dicisRA, and 11.9 ± 1.6 nM for 4oxo-13-cisRA). 11-cisRA and 4OH-RA were not detected in human serum. The high sensitivity of the MS/MS method combined with the UHPLC separation power allowed detection of endogenous 9-cis RA and 4oxo-atRA for the first time in human serum. Copyright
