Benefits of technology

The present invention is about creating new compounds related to progesterone and deoxycorticosterone that have good potency, pharmacokinetic properties, oral bioavailability, formulatability, stability, safety, clearance, and / or metabolism. These compounds have a unique feature of disubstitution at the C3 position with one substituent being a 3α, hydroxy moiety, which helps improve the overall pharmacokinetic parameters and reducing potential toxicities and side effects. Another key feature of these compounds is the presence of a hydrogen at the C19 position rather than a methyl group, which enhances their physical properties like solubility. The compounds described in this patent can be used as therapeutic agents alone or in combination with other therapies to treat diseases, disorders, or conditions.

Problems solved by technology

However, progesterone is not consistently effective in the treatment of the aforementioned syndromes.

Synthesis of SA and SA Intermediates

[0285]

Synthesis of Compound SA-B

[0286]Compound SA (50 g, 184 mmol) and palladium black (2.5 g) in tetrahydrofuran (300 mL) and concentrated hydrobromic acid (1.0 mL) was hydrogenated with 10 atm hydrogen. After stirring at room temperature for 24 h, the mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude compound.

[0287]Recrystallization from acetone gave compound SA-B (42.0 g, yield: 83.4%) as white powder.

[0288]1H NMR: (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.45-2.41 (m, 1H), 2.11-3.44 (m, 2H), 3.24 (s, 3H), 2.18-2.15 (m, 1H), 2.01-1.95 (m, 1H), 1.81-1.57 (m, 7H), 1.53-1.37 (m, 7H), 1.29-1.13 (m, 3H), 1.13-0.90 (m, 2H), 0.89 (s, 3H).

Synthesis of Compound SA-C

[0289]A solution of SA-B (42.0 g, 153.06 mmol) in 600 mL anhydrous toluene was added dropwise to the methyl aluminum bis(2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxide (MAD) (459.19 mmol, 3.0 eq, freshly prepared) solution under N2 at −78° C. After the addition was co...

Synthesis of SB and SB-J Intermediates

[0294]

Synthesis of Compounds SB-B and SB-C

[0295]Small pieces of lithium (7.63 g, 1.1 mol) were added to 2.7 L of condensed ammonia in a three neck flask at −70° C. As soon as all lithium was dissolved, the blue solution was warmed to −50° C. A solution of 19-norandrost-4-ene-3,17-dione SB-A (1, 30 g, 110 mmol) and tert-BuOH (8.14 g, 110 mmol) in 800 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise and stirred for 90 min until the reaction mixture turned light yellow. Ammonium chloride (70 g) was added and excess ammonia was left to evaporate. The residue was extracted with 0.5N HCl (500 mL) and dichloromethane (500 mL×2). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give a mixture of SB-B and SBC (21 g, 70%) which was directly used in the next step without further purification. A solution of SB-B and SB-C (21 g, 76 mmol) in 50 mL of anhydrous dichloromethane was added ...

Synthesis of Compound SA-1

[0304]

[0305]To a suspension of K2CO3 (25 mg, 0.18 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added 1-methylpiperazine (25 mg, 0.227 mmol) and SA (36 mg, 0.09 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 15 h. The reaction mixture was poured in to 5 mL H2O and extracted with EtOAc (2×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified with by reverse-phase prep-HPLC to afford the title compound SA-1 as a white solid (12 mg, 37.8%).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Brain excitability is defined as the level of arousal of an animal, a continuum that ranges from coma to convulsions, and is regulated by various neurotransmitters. In general, neurotransmitters are responsible for regulating the conductance of ions across neuronal membranes. At rest, the neuronal membrane possesses a potential (or membrane voltage) of approximately −70 mV, the cell interior being negative with respect to the cell exterior. The potential (voltage) is the result of ion (K+, Na+, Cl−, organic anions) balance across the neuronal semipermeable membrane. Neurotransmitters are stored in presynaptic vesicles and are released under the influence of neuronal action potentials. When released into the synaptic cleft, an excitatory chemical transmitter such as acetylcholine will cause membrane depolarization (change of potential from −70 mV to −50 mV). This effect is mediated by postsynaptic nicotinic receptors which are stimulated by acetylchol...
