Benefits of technology

[0145]As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a disease, disorder or condition, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder or condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the disease, disorder or condition. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of disease or condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.

Problems solved by technology

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

[0258]

[0259]To a solution of A1 (500 mg, 1.29 mmol) in THF (4 mL was added KOH (144 mg, 2.58 mmol) and MeI (200 mg, 1.41 mmol) at 25° C. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 2 h. After TLC showed the starting material was consumed, the reaction mixture was treated with water (20 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (30 mL×2). The organic phase was washed with brine (30 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuum. The residue was purified by prep-HPLC to afford (R)-1-((3R,5R,8R,9R,10S,13S,14S,17S)-3-hydroxy-3,13-dimethylhexadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl)-2-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)propan-1-one (79.5 mg, 15.4%) and (S)-1-((3R,5R,8R,9R,10S,13S,14S,17S)-3-hydroxy-3,13-dimethylhexadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl)-2-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)propan-1-one (93.1 mg, 18%) as white solid.

To a solution of A2 (400 mg, 0.976 mmol) in THF (3 mL) was added KOH (109 mg, 1.95 mmol) and MeI (1.58 g, 11.1 mmol) at 25° C. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 2 h. After TLC showed the starting material was consumed, the reaction mixture was treated with water (20 mL) and extracted with ELOAc (30 mL×2), The organic phase was washed with brine (30 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, concentrated in vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (PE / EtOAc=5 / 1 to EtOAc) to afford 1-((S)-1-((3R,5R,8R,9R,10S,13S,14S,17S)-3-hydroxy-3,13-dimethylhexadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (100 mg, 24.2%) and 1-((R)-1-((3R,5R,8R,9R,10S,13S,14S,17S)-3-hydroxy-3,13-dimethylhexadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (139 mg, 33.6%) as a white solid.

[0266]Step 1. Synthesis of A4.

[0267]To a solution of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (A3, 24 g, 109 mmol) in toluene (100 mL) was added AlMe3 (2 M in toluene, 27.3 mL, 54.6 mmol) dropwise at 10° C. The mixture was then stirred at 25° C. for 1 hour. To the mixture was added a solution of compound (5R,8R,9R,10S,13S,14S)-13-methyldodecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene-3,17(2H,4H)-dione (5 g, 18.2 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) dropwise at −70° C. dropwise under N2. The mixture was stirred at −70° C. for 1 hour. MeMgBr (3 M in ether, 18.2 mL, 54.6 mmol) was added dropwise at −70° C. The mixture was stirred at −70° C. for another 3 hours. TLC showed the reaction was completed. The mixture was poured into citric acid (150 mL, 20% aq.). The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL*2). The combined organic layer was concentrated under vacuum, purified by column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether:EtOAc=50:1 to 1:1) to give (3R,5R,8R,9R,10S,13S,14S)-3-hydroxy-3,13-dimethylte...

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 064,957, filed Oct. 16, 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]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 su...
