The present invention relates to a method for synthesis of optically pure 4-alkenyl or 4-alkanyl-2-hydroxytetronic acids from an optically pure aldehyde. The invention further relates to the use of such optically pure compounds as potent inhibitors of platelet aggregation by working at the level of cyclooxygenase, thus making them useful in the treatment of coronary artery diseases, especially atherosclerosis, and additionally, as inhibitors of various inflammatory cytokines, making them useful in the treatment of both acute and chronic inflammation, as well in the treatment of cachexia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions of the instant compounds.
本发明涉及一种从光学纯醛合成光学纯的4-烯基或4-烷基-2-羟基四酮酸的方法。本发明进一步涉及使用这种光学纯化合物作为强效血小板聚集抑制剂,通过在环氧合酶水平上发挥作用,因此使它们在冠状动脉疾病,特别是动脉粥样硬化的治疗中有用,并且作为各种炎症细胞因子的抑制剂,使它们在急性和慢性炎症的治疗以及恶病质,类风湿性关节炎,多发性硬化症,克罗恩病和溃疡性结肠炎的治疗中有用。本发明还涉及即时化合物的制药组合物。
