This invention relates generally to the use of a steroid sparing agent for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), asthma, multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), graft versus host disease (GVHD), host versus graft disease, and various spondyloarthropathies, comprising administering a steroid sparing immunoglobulin or small molecule composition to a patient in need thereof. The invention also relates generally to combination therapies for the treatment of these conditions.

Optically active 1,4-thiazane-3-carboxylic acid [TCA] was synthesized from cysteine via optical resolution by preferential crystallization. The intermediate (RS)-2-amino-3-[(2-chloroethyl)sulfanyl]propanoic acid hydrochloride [(RS)-ACS-HCl] was found to exist as a conglomerate based on its melting point, solubility and IR spectrum. (RS)-ACS·HCl was optically resolved by preferential crystallization to yield (R)- and (S)-ACS·HCl. (R)- and (S)-ACS·HCl thus obtained were recrystallized from a mixture of hydrochloric acid and 2-propanol, taking account of the solubility of (RS)-ACS·HCl, efficiently yielding both enantiomers in optically pure forms. (R)- and (S)-TCA were then respectively synthesized by the cyclization of (R)- and (S)-ACS·HCI in ethanol in the presence of triethylamine.
