  • Publication number: 20060270855
    Abstract: Chiral hydroxyethylamine, hydroxyethylurea or hydroxyethylsulfonamide isostere containing retroviral protease and renin inhibitors can be prepared by multi-step syntheses that utilize key chiral amine intermediates. This invention is a cost effective method of obtaining such key chiral amine intermediates enantiomerically, diastereomerically and chemically pure. The method is suitable for large scale (multikilogram) productions. This invention also encompasses organic acid and inorganic acid salts of the amine intermediates.

  • Patent number: 7132437
    Abstract: Renal-selective compounds are described which, in one embodiment, are prodrugs preferentially converted in the kidney to compounds capable of blocking angiotensin II (AII) receptors. These prodrugs are conjugates formed from two components, namely, a first component provided by an AII antagonist compound and a second component which is capable of being cleaved from the first component when both components are chemically linked within the conjugate. The two components are chemically linked by a bond which is cleaved selectively in the kidney, for example, by an enzyme. The liberated AII antagonist compound is then available to block AII receptors within the kidney.
