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4-烯基或4-烷基-2-羟基四氢呋喃酸的方法。本发明还涉及将这些光学纯化合物作为强效的血小板聚集抑制剂,通过作用于环氧合酶水平,从而使它们在治疗冠状动脉疾病,特别是动脉粥样硬化方面有用,并且作为各种炎症细胞因子的抑制剂,使其在急性和慢性炎症治疗,以及消耗症、类风湿性关节炎、多发性硬化症、克罗恩病和溃疡性结肠炎治疗中有用。本发明还涉及这些化合物的制药组合物。
