Development of efficient and stereoselective synthesis of prostaglandins (PGs) is of utmost importance, owing to their valuable medicinal applications and unique chemical structures. We report here a unified synthesis of PGs cloprostenol, bimatoprost, PGF2α, fluprostenol, and travoprost from the readily available dichloro-containing bicyclic ketone6aguided by biocatalytic retrosynthesis, in 11-12 steps with 3.8-8.4% overall yields. An unprecedented Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-catalyzed stereoselective oxidation of6a(99% ee), and a ketoreductase (KRED)-catalyzed diastereoselective reduction of enones12(87?:?13 to 99?:?1 dr) were utilized in combination for the first time to set the critical stereochemical configurations under mild conditions. Another key transformation was the copper(ii)-catalyzed regioselectivep-phenylbenzoylation of the secondary alcohol of diol10(9.3?:?1 rr). This study not only provides an alternative route to the highly stereoselective synthesis of PGs, but also showcases the usefulness and great potential of biocatalysis in construction of complex molecules.
HETERODIMER COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF OCULAR DISORDERS
-
Paragraph 0433-0434, (2021/11/13)
Described herein are processable compositions comprising at least one moiety that is processable in its free form. Also described herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of ocular diseases or disorders including glaucoma, blepharitis, ocular inflammation, diabetic macular edema, posterior inflammation, anterior inflammation, macular degeneration (e.g., wet macular degeneration (AMD) or dry AMD), post-cataract surgery, and retinal vein occlusion. Said compositions and methods comprise steroids and prostaglandins which demonstrate anti-inflammatory activity, intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering, and/or other desirable activities. Injection of said compositions in the eye provides therapeutic benefit to patients suffering from ocular disorders.
PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF PROSTAGLANDIN F2 ALPHA ANALOGUES

Paragraph 0252, (2015/02/19)
A convergent synthesis of the prostaglandin F2α analogues, travoprost and bimatoprost, was developed employing Julia-Lythgoe olefination of the structurally advanced phenylsulfone with an enantiomerically pure aldehyde ω-chain synthon. The novel convergent strategy allows the synthesis of a whole series of prostaglandin analogues of high purity from a common and structurally advanced prostaglandin intermediate.
