  • Patent number: 8546610
    Abstract: A method for preparing a phenylalanine derivative having a quinazoline-dione ring represented by the following formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising the following steps (a), (b) and (c): (a) reacting an acyl phenylalanine derivative represented by the following formula (2): with a carbonyl group-introducing reagent and a specific anthranilic acid derivative to thus form the corresponding carboxy-asymmetric urea derivative; (b) converting the carboxy-asymmetric urea derivative into the corresponding quinazoline-dione derivative in the presence of a carboxyl group-activating agent: (c) if desired, substituting an N-alkyl group for the hydrogen atom bonded to the nitrogen atom present in the quinazoline-dione ring of the quinazoline-dione derivative using an N-alkylation agent and then deprotecting the resulting product, when the substituent R3? which is a group corresponding to R3 is protected.

  • Patent number: 8318975
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a phenylalanine derivative(s) having a quinazolinedione ring of formula (5), including steps comprising of reacting an acylphenylalanine derivative(s) of formula (1) with a carbonyl group-introducing reagent(s) and a derivative(s) of anthranilic acid to form an asymmetric urea intermediate(s); making the asymmetric urea intermediate(s) into a quinazolinedione compound(s) of formula (4) in the presence of a base(s); and N-alkylating quinazolinedione ring amide of the obtained quinazolinedione compounds with N-alkylation agents. This production method is an industrially applicable method for producing phenylalanine derivatives having a quinazolinedione skeleton, which are compounds highly useful as drugs having ? 4 integrin inhibiting activity.
