Hydroamination reactions involving the addition of an amine to an inactivated alkene are entropically prohibited and require strong chemical catalysts. While this synthetic process is efficient at generating substituted amines, there is no equivalent in small molecule-mediated enzyme inhibition. We report an unusual mechanism of proteasome inhibition that involves a hydroamination reaction of alkene derivatives of the epoxyketone natural product carmaphycin. We show that the carmaphycin enone first forms a hemiketal intermediate with the catalytic Thr1 residue of the proteasome before cyclization by an unanticipated intramolecular alkene hydroamination reaction, resulting in a stable six-membered morpholine ring. The carmaphycin enone electrophile, which does not undergo a 1,4-Michael addition as previously observed with vinyl sulfone and α,β-unsaturated amide-based inhibitors, is partially reversible and gives insight into the design of proteasome inhibitors for cancer chemotherapy.

Paragraph 0098-0102, (2021/08/06)
The invention relates to a preparation method of a carfilzomib intermediate F, and belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry. The preparation method comprises the following steps: by taking t-butyloxycarbonyl-L-leucine as a starting material, carrying out condensation, Grignard reaction, reduction, epoxidation, oxidation and salt forming reaction to obtain a carfilzomib key intermediate F. The method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high yield, good selectivity and less generated three wastes, and is suitable for industrial amplification production.

Epoxyketone 4 is an isolated intermediate in the manufacturing route to the commercial proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib (Kyprolis). Commercial process development and optimization efforts toward the preparation of epoxyketone 4 highlighted several opportunities for process improvement. In this article, three case studies are presented that demonstrate how a detailed understanding of the reaction mechanism led to improvements that increased the overall robustness of the process. In the first case study, the mechanism of racemization of an α-chiral enone was investigated, resulting in the development of an improved aqueous workup procedure. Next, the stability of a bleach/pyridine mixture used for the step 3 epoxidation reaction was studied, leading to the identification of pyridine as a key raw material and improved reaction conditions and control strategy to meet the conversion target. Finally, oxidized butylated hydroxytoluene (oBHT) was identified as an impurity arising from the use of BHT-stabilized tetrahydrofuran in steps preceding the oxidation. The process understanding obtained from these investigations led to the implementation of process improvements that improved the robustness of the process. The development of a second-generation route to 4 is the subject of part 2 in this series (DOI: 10.1021/acs.oprd.0c00052).
