Paragraph 0090, (2015/05/06)
The present invention is related to a new method for the synthesis of alkane-1-hydroxy-,1-diphosphonic acid or its salts which includes the steps of -reacting tetraphosphorus hexaoxide and a carboxylic acid under controlled reaction conditions; -hydrolyzing the formed alkane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonic acid condensates to form alkane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonic acid; -precipitating the alkane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonic acid through the use of a suitable solvent; -filtering the alkane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonic acid and recovering the mother liquor and the suitable solvent.1 The process according to the method of the present invention is highly controllable and is further characterized by a high selectivity.

We report the activities of 62 bisphosphonatesas inhibitors of the Leishmania major mevalonate/isoprene biosynthesis pathway enzyme, farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase. The compounds investigated exhibit activities (IC 50 values) ranging from ~100 nM to ~80 μM (corresponding to Ki values as low as 10 nM). The most active compounds were found to be zoledronate (whose single-crystal X-ray structure is reported), pyridinyl-ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-bisphosphonates or picolyl aminomethylene bisphosphonates. However, N-alicyclic amino-methylene bisphosphonates, such as incadronate (N-cycloheptyl aminomethylene bisphosphonate), as well as aliphatic aminomethylene bisphosphonates containing short (n = 4, 5) alkyl chains, were also active, with 1C50 values in the 200-1700 nM range (corresponding to Ki values of ~20-170 nM). Bisphosphonates containing longer or multiple (N,N-) alkyl substitutions were inactive, as were aromatic species lacking an o- or m-nitrogen atom in the ring, or possessing multiple halogen substitutions or a p-amino group. To put these observations on a more quantitative structural basis, we used three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship techniques: comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity index analysis (CoMSIA), to investigate which structural features correlated with high activity. Training set results (N = 62 compounds) yielded good correlations with each technique (R2 = 0.87 and 0.88, respectively), and were further validated by using a training/test set approach. Test set results (N = 24 compounds) indicated that IC50 values could be predicted within factors of 2.9 and 2.7 for the CoMFA and CoMSIA methods, respectively. The CoMSIA fields indicated that a positive charge in the bisphosphonate side chain and a hydrophobic feature contributed significantly to activity. Overall, these results are of general interest since they represent the first detailed quantitative structure-activity relationship study of the inhibition of an expressed farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase enzyme by bisphosphonate inhibitors and that the activity of these inhibitors can be predicted within about a factor of 3 by using 3D-QSAR techniques.
