Abstract: Herein is described an ocular composition comprising an ocular decongestant such as phenylephrine and certain labdane derivatives which are intraocular pressure lowering agents. The composition not only markedly reduces the ocular reddening otherwise produced by such labdane compounds, but also unexpectedly prolongs and frequently potentiates their intraocular pressure lowering effect. Both of these effects are very beneficial to the use of such labdanes for the treatment of glaucoma.Also described herein is an ocular composition comprising para-aminoclonidine (an .alpha..sub.2 -adrenoreceptor agonist) and certain labdane derivatives mentioned above. The composition reduces the ocular reddening and lacrimation, and also potentiates the intraocular pressure lowering effect.

Abstract: A process for the stereoselective synthesis of ?R!- and ?S!-2,3-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-1H-indole-3-acetonitriles comprises reacting racemic and 5-alkoxy-substituted (.+-.)-1,3-dimethyloxindoles with a halogenated acetonitrile in the presence of a substituted N-benzyl cinchoninium, quinidinium, cinchonidinium, or quininium catalyst. The resulting alkylated oxindoles can be converted to primary amines by catalytic reduction in the presence of hydrogen gas. One of the primary amines, such as enantiomers of 3-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-5-methoxy-2H-indol-2-one, can be enriched by contact with a chiral tartaric acid in an amount sufficient to preferentially precipitate a salt of the chiral acid and one of the enantiomers. The product can be used in the synthesis of stereospecific forms of physostigmine and related compounds having pharmaceutical activity.
