Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a novel method for synthesizing decurcin derivatives. [Background technology]

[0002] Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in which cell death in the spinal cord results in the selective loss of motor neurons. Approximately 10-20% of patients show a genetic pattern (familial ALS; fALS), while the rest are classified as sporadic ALS (sALS). Some genes are known to be ALS-associated loci in familial ALS, among which SOD1 is the gene that was first identified in fALS. It is speculated that fALS-associated genes also play a role in the pathogenesis of sALS, but the exact cause of sALS has not been elucidated to date. In addition, ALS is classified into typical ALS, ALS with dementia, and atypical ALS according to clinical symptoms. In fact, SOD1 mutation induces typical ALS, and C9orf72 is associated with ALS with dementia.

[0003] One of the important characteristics of ALS is that it is a progressive disease in which neuronal cell death is propagated through neural connections. In fact, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases also show similar phenotypes. In relation to the above characteristics, a prion-like propagation mechanism has been proposed, which means that misfolded proteins transform normal proteins into abnormal proteins. In fact, mutant amyloid beta (Aβ) can transform normal Aβ into abnormal Aβ. Recently, it has been reported that mutated or misfolded SOD1 can also be secreted and propagated during the progression of the disease. However, there has been little research on SOD1 aggregation and misfolding inhibitors targeted as therapeutic agents for ALS disease.

[0004] Accordingly, in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0052326, it was proven that the deucrustin derivative compound, a novel compound, is effective for the prevention, improvement, or treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the yield of the deucrustin derivative compound was low, and there were limitations in mass production.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for research on a new synthesis method that can increase the yield of the deucrustin derivative compound and enable mass production.

[0013] Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for synthesizing a decursin derivative represented by Compound I, including the step of synthesizing a decursin derivative represented by Compound I through the reaction between an intermediate compound (Compound 5) in which a Boc protecting group is introduced into the OH group of 3-(3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-ol and decursinol (Compound 6):

[0014] [Chemistry]

[0015] The said compound 5 is synthesized through the following steps: i) a first step of reacting 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde with CH3I to synthesize 3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde; ii) a second step of reacting the said 3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde with diethoxyphosphoryl acetate to synthesize Ethyl 3-(3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-2-propenoate; iii) a third step of reacting the said Ethyl 3-(3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-2-propenoate with diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL-H) to synthesize 3-(3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-ol; and iv) a fourth step of reacting the said 3-(3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-ol with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate [(Boc)2O] to synthesize compound 5 with a Boc protecting group introduced.

If the contents of compound 5, compound 6, Pd 2 (dba) Pd2(dba)3 and xanthphos are outside the above ranges, problems such as insufficient economy or difficulty in mass production will be caused.
