  • Publication number: 20230127805
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for preparing (R)-6-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-6-azaspiro[2.5]octane-5-carboxylic acid (SM1), said process comprising the step of: iv) converting a compound of formula (VII) into a compound of formula (VIII) using a Wittig reagent in a suitable solvent; v) reacting through the Makosza reaction the compound of Formula (VIII) using bromoform and a suitable base to obtain cyclopropane compound of Formula (IX); and vi) removing bromine atoms in the presence of a reducing agent and a base in an alcoholic solvent thus obtaining (SM1). The invention relates also to a process for the conversion of the compound (SM1) for preparing (R)-4-(1-(6-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-6-azaspiro[2.5]octane-5-carboxamido)cyclopropyl) benzoic acid (IV) or a salt thereof. The salt is preferably the sodium salt, more preferably the polymorphic form A of sodium (R)-4-(1-(6-(4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-6-azaspiro[2.

  • Publication number: 20080194877
    Abstract: Mucositis is the result of a complex process of interactive biologic phenomena that take place in both the epitelium and the submucosa, often leading to severe pain and increased risk of dangerous syste f48 mic infections. Mucositis is often a side effect during chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The benzamidine derivatives herein described are particularly effective for treating and preventing mucositis since they are acting simultaneously at the several phases that characterize this disease.
