The aim of the present study was to elucidate the differences in the plasma concentration of two enantiomers of donepezil in Chinese patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and investigate in vitro stereoselective metabolism and transport. Donepezil enantiomers were separated and determined by LC-MS/MS using D5-donepezil as an internal standard on a Sepax Chiralomix SB-5 column. In vitro stereoselective metabolism and transport of donepezil were investigated in human liver microsomes and MDCKII-MDR1 cell monolayer. Pre-dose (Css-min) plasma concentrations were determined in 52 patients. The mean plasma level of (R)-donepezil was 14.94 ng/ml and that of (S)-donepezil was 23.37 ng/ml. One patient's plasma concentration of (R)-donepezil was higher than (S)-donepezil and the ratio is 1.51. The mean plasma levels of (S)-donepezil were found to be higher than those of (R)-donepezil in 51 patients and the ratio of plasma (R)- to (S)-donepezil varies from 0.34 to 0.85. In the in vitro microsomal system, (R)-donepezil degraded faster than (S)-donepezil. Vmax of (R)-donepezil was significantly higher than (S)-donepezil. The P-gp inhibition experiment shown that the Papp of the two enantiomers was higher than 200 and the efflux ratios were 1.11 and 0.99. The results of the P-gp inhibition identification experiment showed IC50 values of 35.5 and 20.4 μM, respectively, for the two enantiomers. The results indicate that donepezil exhibits stereoselective hepatic metabolism that may explain the differences in the steady-state plasma concentrations observed. Neither (R)- nor (S)-donepezil was a P-gp substance and the two enantiomers are highly permeable through the blood-brain barrier. 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Highly valued products resulting from reductive aminations utilizing shelf-stable bisulfite addition compounds of aldehydes can be made under aqueous micellar catalysis conditions. Readily available α-picolineborane serves as the stoichiometric hydride source. Recycling of the aqueous reaction medium is easily accomplished, and several applications to targets in the pharmaceutical industry are documented.

A facile method for the synthesis of indanones was developed under metal- and additive-free conditions, whereinl-proline served as an efficient and environmentally benign catalyst. Compared with previously synthesized indanones, synthesis by the transition-metal-catalyzed intramolecular hydroacylation of 2-vinylbenzaldehyde provided a more green synthetic pathway to indanone scaffolds with good to excellent yields. More importantly, it could be used to synthsize the anti-AD drug donepezil.

Can Heteroarenes/Arenes Be Hydrogenated Over Catalytic Pd/C Under Ambient Conditions?
Tanaka, Nao,Usuki, Toyonobu
, p. 5514 - 5522 (2020/07/24)
Hydrogenation of over a dozen aromatic compounds, including both heteroarenes and arenes, over palladium on carbon (Pd/C, 1–100 molpercent) with H2-balloon pressure at room temperature is reported. Analyses using pyridine as a model substrate revealed that acetic acid was the best solvent, as using only 1 molpercent Pd/C provided piperidine quantitatively. Substrate scope analysis and density functional theory calculations indicated that reaction rates are highly dependent on frontier molecular orbital characteristics and the steric bulkiness of substituents. Moreover, the established method was used for the concise synthesis of the anti-Alzheimer drug donepezil (Aricept?).
Basic Anion-Exchange Resin-Catalyzed Aldol Condensation of Aromatic Ketones with Aldehydes in Continuous Flow
Laroche, Benjamin,Saito, Yuki,Ishitani, Haruro,Kobayashi, Shū
, p. 961 - 967 (2019/05/02)
A general method for the aldol condensation of aromatic ketones with aldehydes was developed under continuous-flow conditions using a commercially available, strongly basic anion-exchange resin (A26) as catalyst. This procedure, in addition to exhibiting a wide substrate scope, promoted carbon-carbon bond formation under mild conditions using a quasi-stoichiometric ratio of starting reagents with good to excellent yields, thereby forming a limited amount of waste and allowing the process to be applied to sequential-flow systems. A proof of concept was developed in the first fully heterogeneously catalyzed two-step flow synthesis of donepezil, which is a blockbuster commercial anti-Alzheimer's drug.

A water-soluble dinuclear Cp?Ir complex bearing 4,4′,6,6′-tetrahydroxy-2,2′-bipyrimidine as a bridging ligand was found to be a highly effective catalyst for the α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols in pure water. In the presence of catalyst (0.5 mol%), a series of desirable products were obtained with high reaction economy under environmentally benign conditions. The importance of the hydroxy group in the ligand for catalytic hydrogen transfer was confirmed by mechanism experiments. Furthermore, the application of this catalytic system for the synthesis of a biologically active molecule donepezil in pure water has been accomplished. Notably, this research would facilitate the progress of C-C bond-forming reactions in water catalyzed by water-soluble metal-ligand bifunctional catalysts.

, p. 11676 - 11686 (2019/10/02)
Herein, we demonstrate a general and broadly applicable catalytic cross coupling of methylene ketones and secondary alcohols with a series of primary alcohols to disubstituted branched ketones. A simple and nonprecious Fe2(CO)9 catalyst enables one-pot oxidations of both primary and secondary alcohols to a range of branched gem-bis(alkyl) ketones. A number of bond activations and formations selectively occurred in one pot to provide the ketone products. Coupling reactions can be performed in gram scale and successfully applied in the synthesis of an Alzehimer's drug. Alkylation of a steroid hormone can be achieved. A single catalyst enables sequential one-pot double alkylation to bis-hetero aryl ketones using two different alcohols. Preliminary mechanistic studies using an IR probe, deuterium labeling, and kinetic experiments established the participation of a borrowing-hydrogen process using Fe catalyst, and the reaction produces H2 and H2O as byproducts.
