Previously, we reported that immunoproteasome (iP)-targeting linear peptide epoxyketones improve cognitive function in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a manner independent of amyloid β. However, these compounds' clinical prospect for AD is limited due to potential issues, such as poor brain penetration and metabolic instability. Here, we report the development of iP-selective macrocyclic peptide epoxyketones prepared by a ring-closing metathesis reaction between two terminal alkenes attached at the P2 and P3/P4 positions of linear counterparts. We show that a lead macrocyclic compound DB-60 (20) effectively inhibits the catalytic activity of iP in ABCB1-overexpressing cells (IC50: 105 nM) and has metabolic stability superior to its linear counterpart. DB-60 (20) also lowered the serum levels of IL-1α and ameliorated cognitive deficits in Tg2576 mice. The results collectively suggest that macrocyclic peptide epoxyketones have improved CNS drug properties than their linear counterparts and offer promising potential as an AD drug candidate.

, (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.

The development and kilogram-scale demonstration of an improved process for the synthesis of the epoxyketone warhead of carfilzomib is described. Critical to the success of this process was: (1) development of a scalable asymmetric epoxidation protocol; (2) identification of a crystalline intermediate with improved physical properties for isolation; (3) discovery and optimization of epimerization conditions to set the target stereochemistry; and (4) introduction of a seeded-bed coaddition crystallization to facilitate isolation of the final low-melting target. The results of kilogram-scale demonstration runs are shared, including details of a continuous process for the safe execution of an exothermic Barbier-type Grignard process.
