The present invention provides a process for preparation of {(2E,4E,6E,8E)-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6- trimethyl)phenyl-3,7-dimethyl-nona-2,4,6,8}tetraenoate, an acitretin intermediate of formula (VI) with trans isomer ≥97%, comprising of reacting 3-formyl-crotonic acid butyl ester of formula (V), substantially free of impurities, with 5-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3- methyl-penta-2,4-diene-l-triphenyl phosphonium bromide of formula (IV) and isolating resultant compound of formula (VI), treating the filtrate with iodine for isomerization of the undesired cis intermediate and finally obtaining acitretin (I), with desired trans isomer ≥97%.

In the present investigation, we report a one-pot synthesis of the title compounds, 2-arylidene-5-(2,3,6-trimethyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-7-substituted-5H- pyrimidino-[2,3-b]thiazolidine-3-ones 6a-j and 2-(5-nitro-2-thienylidine)-5-(2, 3,6-trimethyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-7-substituted-5H- pyrimidino-[2,3-b]thiazolidine- 3-ones 7a-e. Thus, 6a-j and 7a-e were prepared in good yields by refluxing 4-(2,3,6-trimethyl-4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl/aryl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H) -thiones 5, monochloro acetic acid, and anhydrous sodium acetate with the appropriate aromatic aldehyde/5-nitro-2-thiophenediacetate in acetic acid/acetic anhydride medium. The structures of these new compounds were established on the basis of their analytical and spectral data. Some of the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity. They show moderate anti-inflammatory activity, and some of them were found to be promising antibacterial and antifungal agents. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

Purpose. Optimization of the therapeutic ratio of analogs of the topically active 11-cis,13-cis-12-hydroxymethylretinoic acid, δ-lactone (I) relative to antihyperproliferation and antihyperkeratinization vs. toxicity. Methods. Nine analogs of 1, in which variations were made in the lipophilic cyclohexenyl moiety or in the lactone ring, were evaluated for topical activity against hyperkeratinization, inhibition of TPA-induced DNA synthesis and for skin irritation. Results. Although more potent lactones than the parent lactone 1 were identified, none possessed the favorable therapeutic ratio associated with 1. Conclusions. The δ-lactone 1 possesses unique molecular features responsible for its desirable therapeutic ratio as an anti-hyperproliferative and antihyperkeratotic agent. In view of its very low systemic retinoid toxicity and the absence of any systemic toxicity, this lactone may be a good candidate for use in the topical treatment of acne.
