Benefits of technology

The present invention offers a treatment for PKD that targets the root cause of the disease, rather than just managing its symptoms. This approach may reduce the need for kidney dialysis or transplant in patients with PKD.

Problems solved by technology

The PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure.
Currently, there is no approved treatment or cure for PKD.
None of these procedures, aside from kidney transplantation, appreciably slows the progression of the disease.

Synthesis of Ceramide Derivatives: General Methods for the Preparation of Amide Analogs

example 1a

Synthetic Route 1

[0173]

Method 1

[0174]A mixture of Compound A (1 mmol), such as (1R,2R)-2-amino-1-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[β][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-3-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propan-1-ol, an acid (Compound B, 1.2 mmol), DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 1.2 mmol) and HOBT (1-hydroxy benzotriazole, 1.2 mmol) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (5 ml). The mixture was stirred at room temperature and monitored by TLC (thin liquid chromatography) for completion. After completion the mixture was filtered and purified by column chromatography using, for example, a mixture of (CH2Cl2 / MeOH / NH4OH).

Method 2

[0175]A mixture of Compound A (1 mmol), such as (1R,2R)-2-amino-1-(2,3-dihydrobenzo[β][1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-3-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propan-1-ol, an acid (Compound B, 1.2 mmol) and DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 1.2 mmol) was dissolved in CHCl3 (5 ml). The mixture was placed in the microwave reactor (T=120° C., time=1 min) and it was then filtered and purified by column chromatography using, for example, a mixture of (CH2Cl2 / MeOH / NH4OH...

Synthetic Route 2

[0177]

[0178]Compound A, such as (1R,2R)-2-amino-1-(2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxin-6-yl)-3-pyrrolidin-1-yl-propan-1-ol, was coupled with a variety of N-hydroxysuccinamide esters (Compound D prepared according to the method below) in methylene chloride under an atmosphere of nitrogen, for example, for 18 to 24 hours depending on the ester used.

Preparation of N-hydroxysuccinamide esters

[0179]

[0180]Various mono- and di-keto acids were coupled with N-hydroxysuccinamide in the presence of N, N1-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in ethyl acetate under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 18 hours. The products were filtered to remove the dicyclohexylurea. The identity of these esters was confirmed by 1H NMR and the crude material was then used in the preparation of amide analogs without further purification.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 12 / 681,291, which is the U.S. National Stage application of International Application No. PCT / US2008 / 011450 filed on Oct. 3, 2008, published in English, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 997,803 filed Oct. 5, 2007.[0002]The entire teachings of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A cyst is an abnormal fluid-filled sac that can form in many parts of the body, such as the kidney, liver, pancreas, spleen and heart. Polycystic disease is a disease that occurs when a large number of cysts cause damage to these organs. For example, polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a disease characterized by the growth of numerous cysts throughout the kidneys. The PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. About half the people with the most common form of P...
