  • Patent number: 8143400
    Abstract: An industrially acceptable process for the preparation and purification of cis-2-methylspiro(1,3-oxathiolane-5,3?)quiniclidine from a cis/trans mixture of isomers. Treatment of the mixture with an organic sulfonic acid generates a less soluble acid addition salt that is enriched in the cis-isomer. Recrystallization or pulping using various organic solvents allows for enrichment of the cis-isomer by filtration. These new sulfonic acid salts of the cis-isomer of 2-methylspiro(1,3-oxathiolane-5,3?)quiniclidine prepared according to the present invention could be further converted into the hydrochloride salt by any known procedures such as treatment with a base and then hydrochloric acid salt formation or exchange of the sulfonic acid salt with hydrochloric acid.

  • Patent number: 8119652
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of aryl-fused spirocyclic compounds. These compounds can inhibit histone deacetylase and are suitable for use in selectively inducing terminal differentiation, and arresting cell growth and/or apoptosis of neoplastic cells, thereby inhibiting proliferation of such cells. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful in treating a patient having a tumor characterized by proliferation of neoplastic cells. The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the prevention and treatment of TRX-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases.
