Preparation, hydrolysis, and oral absorption of lactonyl esters of penicillins
摘要:
Lactonyl esters of ampicillin and other penicillins have been synthesized as prodrugs designed to improve the oral absorption of the parent penicillins. In general, the esters hydrolyzed rapidly in the presence of tissues including blood and certain of the esters were better absorbed than the parent penicillin. The phthalidyl ester of ampicillin [talampicillin (British Pharmacopoeia approved name), BRL 8988] was selected for extended studies. The compound was found to be well absorbed in various animal species and gave ampicillin serum concentrations in fasting human volunteers 2.5-3 times those obtained for ampicillin itself.
Utilizing a chiral bicyclic imidazole organocatalyst and adopting a continuous injection process, an alternative route has been developed for the efficient synthesis of chiral phthalidyl ester prodrugs via dynamic kinetic resolution of 3‐hydroxyphthalides through enantioselective acylation (up to 99 % ee). The computational studies suggest a general base catalytic mechanism differing from the widely
Several lactol esters of D-α-aminobenzylpenicillin hydrochloride (Va-e) were synthesized from the corresponding lactol esters of benzylpenicillin (IIa-e) or from D-α-aminobenzylpenicillin (ampicillin). The lactol esters IIa-e were prepared with potassium benzylpenicillinate (I) and certain halides of lactols. Among them, two isomers of 2 (5H)-furanone-5-yl benzylpenicillinate (IIb) could be easily separated from the mixture of the stereoisomers due to C5' position of the lactol moiety. We found that all of these lactol esters of ampicillin hydrochloride (Va-e) showed higher blood concentrations of ampicillin after oral administration to rats than that of ampicillin itself. Particularly Va and Ve were much superior.

5-Bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)furans are established as vicinal bisketene equivalents for application as dienes in the Diels-Alderreaction. Cycloaddition with olefinic dienophiles, under exceptionally mild conditions, enables convergent access to highly substituted para-hydroquinones in unprotected form via a one-pot Diels-Alder/ring-opening/tautomerization sequence. The synthesis of para-benzoquinones from
A variety of 4-substituted butenolides were prepared utilizing 2-acetoxyfuran as a key intermediate which can be easily synthesized by anodic oxidation of furan.
