  • Patent number: 6340756
    Abstract: wherein Z1 is hydrogen or an amino-protecting group selected from the group consisting of acyl of the formula R—C(O)—, wherein R is alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms; trityl, optionally substituted with methoxy; and N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl); Y1 is halo, aralkyloxy or acyloxy, wherein acyl is as defined above; and Y2 is aralkyloxy. These intermediates are useful in a novel process for preparing the mono-L-valine ester of 2-(2-amino-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-purin-9-yl) methoxy-1,3-propanediol (ganciclovir). The mono-L-valine ester of ganciclovir and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts are of value as antiviral agents with improved absorption.

  • Patent number: 6040446
    Abstract: Process and novel intermediates for preparing the L-mono-valine ester of 2-(2-amino-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-purin-9-yl)methoxy-1,3-propanediol and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The present process and intermediates provide for reduced impurities in the mono-valine ester end-product and lower overall production costs. The process involves the condensation of a silylated guanine compound with a substituted glycerol derivative and esterification of this product with an L-valine derivative. These mono-valine products are of value as antiviral agents with improved absorption.

  • Patent number: 5840890
    Abstract: Process and novel intermediates for preparing the mono-L-valine ester of 2-(2-amino-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-purin-9-yl)methoxy-1,3-propanediol ganciclovir) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The present process and monoester intermediates provide for mono-esterification by an L-valine derivative, resulting in a monocarboxylate-monovalinate which is then selectively hydrolyzed under basic or enzymatic conditions to give the monovaline ester of ganciclovir in high yield and purity. These products are of value as antiviral agents with improved absorption.
