Captopril and its synthesis from chiral intermediates

Abstract: Captopril is an antihypertensive agent that inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme of the renin±angiotensin system. Chiral intermediates are used in the synthesis of the drug. These intermediates are obtained by resolution of racemic compounds or by chemical, biocatalytic methods and or by asymmetric synthesis by biocatalytic process. This article reviews the various chemical and biochemical processes involved in the synthesis of the chiral drug, including the pharmacological action of captopril.

“…Amides bearing a stereogenic center in the α-position are frequently observed architectures in pharmaceuticals, natural products, and their intermediates. 1 For example, aliskiren 2 and captopril 3 are commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals for the treatment of hypertension, whereas brivaracetam 4 and levetiracetam 5 exhibit anticonvulsant properties for the treatment of epilepsy (Figure 1 ). The synthesis of such chiral motifs is therefore of high interest in organic synthesis.…”

“…Treatment with ammonia finally generated captopril in enantiomerically pure form. [12,13] The synthesis may be improved by separating the enantiomers already at the 3-(acetylsulfanyl)-2-methylpropionic acid stage, using a lipase.…”

“…Briefly, ACE can convert angiotensin I (Ang I) into angiotensin II (Ang II) and increase blood pressure by vasoconstriction, which is considered a useful therapeutic target for the treatment of hypertension [ 34 ]. To control angiotensin II production, initially, antihypertensive drugs such as captopril, enalapril, lisinopril, and benazepril were synthesized [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. ACE inhibitors are employed in conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes due to their ability to reduce angiotensin II levels, vasoconstriction, aldosterone secretion, and bradykinin [ 39 , 40 , 41 ].…”
