[0039] Synthesis of 2-(6-Methoxy-naphthalen-2-yl)-ethanol

[0040] 6-MNA (1g, 0.0046 mol) was suspended in anhydrous THF and was cooled with ice bath suspension BH3(1 M solution in THF, 5 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours then Dl water and sodium carbonate added. THF was removed and aqueous phase extracted with ethyl acetate then washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, filtered concentrated and dried via vacuum.

[0041] Yield 93%. Melting point 110-113.degree. C. product was analyzed by elemental analysis, IR, MS, NMR.

Abstract

The present invention provides therapeutically effective amounts of 6MNA prodrugs. The pharmaceutical composition comprises wherein R is H or COR', wherein R' is selected from the group consisting of C1 to C6 alkyl, (CH2)mO(CH2)n, (CH2)m(OC2H4)pO(CH2)n, (CH2)m(OC2H4)p, (OCH2H4)pONO2 and (OCH2H4)pO(CH2)n wherein m is an integer from 2 to 4, and n and p are integers from 1 to 4. Alternatively, R is a therapeutic moiety.

Description

[0001] The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 697,795, filed Oct. 27, 2000, which claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 161,864, filed Oct. 27, 1999, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002] The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions useful for treatment of inflammation in humans utilizing compounds that are prodrugs of 6-methoxy-2-naphthylacetic acid (hereinafter "6MNA").[0003] Various naphthalene derivatives are known to be useful for the treatment of inflammation and for various rheumatic and arthritic conditions. For example, Naproxen having the formula (I): 2[0004] as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,009,197 to Fried et al. Compound (I) can, however, cause severe irritation of the gastronintestinal tract at dosages only slightly greater than the excess of the therapeutic dose.[0005] Another naphthalene derivative is nabumetone ...
