Two new improved approaches to the synthesis of coumarin-based prodrugs
摘要:
Our laboratory has recently reported the development of a coumarin-based, esterase-sensitive prodrug system for the preparation of prodrugs of amines, peptides, and peptidomimetics. Biological evaluations including animal studies have demonstrated me clinical potential of this prodrug system. However, the original synthetic method used required a long sequence of reactions with a relatively low overall yield. In this report, we describe two new approaches to the synthesis of these coumarin-based prodrugs. The first approach is a photochemical approach taking advantage of the photoisomerization of cinnamic acid and its derivatives. The second approach is through the catalytic hydrogenation of a triple bond for the generation of me cis double bond in the coumarinic acid moiety. Both approaches allow for the synthesis of these prodrugs in fewer steps with much improved overall yield. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

There is a continuing need for the development of new protecting groups for amines which can be cleaved under conditions that are mild and fundamentally different from what are already available. In this paper, we report our studies in using o-hydroxy-trans-cinnamic acid as a photo-sensitive protecting group for amines. The design takes advantage of the trans-cis photo-isomerization and the ensuing facile lactonization of o-hydroxy-cis-cinnamic acid and derivatives. We have found that both the protection and deprotection can be carried out in high yields for a variety of amines with different structural features. The deprotection reaction uses low intensity UV light (365 nm), which is fundamentally different from the conditions used for the deprotection of other commonly used amino-protecting groups. Therefore, the method complements other available methods in allowing for selective manipulation of different functional groups in a complex organic molecule.
