This invention concerns a process to convert a hydroxyl group (bold in R3C—OH) in a tigliane-type compound to a hydrogen (bold in R3C—H) to obtain deoxytigliane-type compounds or structural or functional analogs thereof. The process has wide application particularly to produce specific biologically active compounds in quantity for use as pharmaceuticals. In particular the process can be used to convert phorbol to a 12-deoxytigliane (prostrating which is a therapeutic lead for the treatment of AIDS. New compositions of matter are also disclosed.
该发明涉及一种将
蒽环型化合物中的羟基(在R3C-OH中加粗)转化为氢(在R3C-H中加粗)的过程,以获得脱氧
蒽环型化合物或其结构或功能类似物。该过程具有广泛的应用,特别是用于生产特定的
生物活性化合物,以用作药物。特别是该过程可用于将富尔
酚转化为12-脱氧
蒽环烷(俯卧撑),后者是治疗艾滋病的治疗前导化合物。此外,还披露了新的物质组成。
