  • Patent number: 10150723
    Abstract: A process to isolate a compound of Formula (2a) or a salt or solvate thereof, comprising a) reacting a mixture of diastereoisomers of Formulae (2a, 2b) with a basic heterocyclic-aldehyde compound and an optically active amine in the presence of a base; and b) separating the compound of Formula (2a) from the product of step a) by acid extraction. The compound of Formula (2a) may be produced with an enantiomeric excess of 98%. Compounds of Formula (2a) are useful intermediates in a process to prepare a bicyclic ?-amino tetrazole derivative of Formula (I) which finds utility in treating neuropathic pain and disorders of the central nervous system.

  • Publication number: 20180153958
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel cycloundecadepsipeptide compounds and their analogues which bind and inhibit cyclophilins, have reduced immunosuppressive activity and improved physicochemical properties including water solubility. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing said depsipeptide compounds and their analogues for use in the treatment or prevention of diseases and pathologies which may be ameliorated by the inhibition of cyclophilin activity.

  • Patent number: 9670175
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are mono or di-succinate compounds where one or both of the acid groups in the succinate core are protected in the form of biologically labile moieties, and the use of said compounds to enhance mitochondrial function. The compounds may be of formula (I) wherein R1 is H or an optionally substituted alkyl group or a group of formula (II) and R2 is independently a group according to formula (II) where formula (II) is as defined 10 herein.
