Paragraph 0076, (2018/05/03)
The invention provides an improved process for preparing Ethacrynic acid of formula I, including the steps of: (a) reacting 4-butyryl-2,3-dichloro-phenoxy acetic acid of formula II with dimethylamine or its salt to obtain [2,3-dichloro-4-[2-dimethylaminomethyl butyryl phenoxy acetic acid of formula III or its salt; (b) hydrolysing [2,3-dichloro-4-[2-dimethylaminomethyl butyryl phenoxy acetic acid hydrochloride of formula III obtained in step a) with t-butyl amine to obtain t-butyl amine salt of Ethacrynic acid; (c) acidifying the t-butyl amine salt of Ethacrynic acid formed in step b) to obtain Ethacrynic acid of formula I; and(d) optionally purifying the obtained Ethacrynic acid with a solvent mixture of alkyl acetate and hydrocarbon solvent. The invention also provides crystalline t-butylamine salt of Ethacrynic acid and process thereof. Also provide compound Ethacrynic acid having a purity of greater than or equal to 99% and a composition including the compound.

Ethacrynic acid and a series of its analogues were synthesized and subsequently evaluated for their inhibitory effect on jack bean urease. Ethacrynic acid showed, even at low concentrations, very potent inhibitory activity against the enzyme. For ethacrynic acid, the inhibition potential increased with increasing preincubation time of ethacrynic acid and enzyme, whereas for some other compounds a higher preincubation time lead to a significant reduction of their activity. We could demonstrate that the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl unit of our compounds is mandatory to inhibit the enzyme, possibly due to its ability to bind to cysteine residues in the active site of the jack bean urease.
