Prodrug Forms of N-[(4-Deoxy-4-amino-10-methyl)pteroyl]glutamate-γ-[ψP(O)(OH)]-glutarate, a Potent Inhibitor of Folylpoly-γ-glutamate Synthetase: Synthesis and Hydrolytic Stability

Abstract: Ester prodrugs of the phosphinate pseudopeptide N- [(4-deoxy-4-amino-10-methyl)pteroyl] glutamate-γ-[ψP-(O)(OH)]-glutarate (1a) were synthesized. H-phosphinic acids derived from NCbz vinyl glycine esters were converted to the desired pseudopeptides by Michael addition to α-methyleneglutarate esters. Pivaloyloxymethyl (POM) ester moieties were incorporated in both the N-terminal and C-terminal fragments prior to formation of either C-P bond. N-Alkylation of the corresponding amides derived from p-(N-methyl)-ami… Show more

“…First, the free radical hydrophosphination of vinyl glycine 131 [118], followed by the addition to an electro-deficient olefin 132 [119] and the methylation with trimethylsilyldiazomethane afforded phosphinate ester 133. Thereafter, the cleavage of the benzyl group followed by acetylation and amide coupling or esterification gave amide 134 or methyl ester 135.…”

“…Following a known protocol, we started our synthesis with enantiomerically pure Cbz-(S)-vinylglycine (3), which is readily available by a two-step synthesis from Cbz-(S)-methionine (2). 23 In parallel, dibenzyl glutarate (5) was prepared from benzyl acrylate (4) via a Baylis-Hilman type reaction with (n-Bu) 3 P. 24 Addition of ammonium hypophosphite gave phosphinic acid 6 as a racemate. Following a protocol of Vitharana et al, 25 stepwise crystallization with first yohimbine and second (S)-methylbenzylamine gave (S)-6 and (R)-6 in 31 and 28% yield, respectively over two steps.…”

“…The first is to synthesize prodrugs that will allow these hydrophilic moieties to enter cells for subsequent activation. An initial attempt in this regard utilized readily hydrolyzable pivaloyloxymethyl (POM) esters that have been used previously to deliver several hydrophilic drugs [31]. Unfortunately, previously unrecognized relatively rapid (t 0.5 = 30 min) hydrolysis of the esters in medium or solvent was documented.…”
