Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceuticals, and particularly to umostast maleate intermediate I and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Upamostat (LH011) is an orally administered serine protease inhibitor. Serine proteases are a class of catalytically active enzymes that participate in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. In tumors, abnormally activated proteases can promote extracellular matrix degradation, cell migration, and angiogenesis, thereby accelerating tumor progression. By specifically inhibiting serine proteases, it may block the key signaling pathways of tumor growth and metastasis, providing new molecular targets for cancer treatment. Traditional chemotherapy drugs can also damage normal cells while killing tumor cells, resulting in serious side effects. Some targeted drugs may develop drug resistance after long-term use, limiting their clinical application. Developing oral drugs can improve patients' treatment compliance and quality of life.
[0003] As an orally administered serine protease inhibitor, upamostat can specifically inhibit related proteases in the tumor microenvironment and block tumor progression. By optimizing the drug structure and administration route, upamostat aims to reduce toxic side effects and improve patients' tolerance. In addition to cancer treatment, the abnormal activation of serine proteases is also associated with various diseases (such as inflammation, fibrosis), and upamostat may have a wider range of indications. Currently, the preparation process of upamostat involves biological extraction and purification techniques, and the raw material source is unstable, resulting in poor stability of the extraction process. Therefore, a chemical synthesis method is needed to prepare upamostat, and compound is the key intermediate for preparing upamostat. There are few reports on the synthesis of the intermediate compound at home and abroad. Therefore, it is of great research significance to provide a simple synthesis method for umostast maleate intermediate I. Summary of the Invention
