Spiro derivatives as lipoxygenase inhibitors
-
Page/Page column 92-93, (2008/06/13)
The present invention is concerned with certain novel spiro substituted heterocylic ring derivatives. These compounds may be useful in the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions for treating disorders mediated by lipoxygenases. They may also be useful
Preparation of diphenolics
-
, (2008/06/13)
A process for the production of diphenolic compounds having a divalent bridge. A first disubstituted phenol is reacted with an aldehyde in the presence of a secondary amine and excess alcohol to form an ether intermediate. The ether intermediate is reacted with a phenol having an open ortho or para position to form a diphenolic.

Following our discovery of the intravenous (iv) anesthetic activity of 2,6-diethylphenol in mice, a series of alkylphenols was examined in this species and the most active analogues were further evaluated in rabbits.The synthesis of compounds which were not commercially available was accomplished by adaptations of standard ortho-alkylation procedures for phenols.Structure-activity relationships were found to be complex, but, in general, potency and kinetics appeared to be a function of both the lipophilic character and the degree of steric hindrance exerted by ortho substituents.The most interesting compounds were found in the 2,6-dialkyl series, and the greatest potency was associated with 2,6-di-sec-alkyl substitution.In particular, 2,6-diisopropylphenol (ICI 35868) emerged as a candidate for further development and has subsequently been shown to be an effective iv anesthetic agent in man.
