Description

RENIN INHIBITORS CONTAINING A (1-AMINO-2- HYDROXY- 2-HETEROCYCLIC) ETHYL MOIETY BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides novel compounds. More particularly, the present invention provides novel renin-inhibiting peptide analogs and intermediates thereto. Most particularly, the present invention provides renin-inhibitory compounds having a (1-cyclohexylmethyl-1-amino-2-hydroxy-2-(2-pyrrolidinyl))ethyl end. function. The renin inhibitors provided herein are useful for the diagnosis and control of renin-dependent hypertension and other related diseases.
Renin is an endopeptidase which specifically cleaves a particular peptide bond of its substrate (angiotensinogen), of which the N-terminal sequence in equine substrate is for example:
Renin ↓
Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-Ser- IA
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
as found by L.T. Skeggs et al, J. Exper. Med. 106, 439 (1957). Human renin substrate has a different sequence as recently discovered by
D.A. Tewkesbury et al, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 99, 1311
(1981). It may be represented as follows:
Renin
↓ -Val-Ile-His-
11 12 13 IB
and having the sequence to the left of the arrow (↓) being as designated in formula IA above. Renin cleaves angiotensinogen. to produce angiotensin I, which is converted to the potent pressor angiotensin II.

By - [C(O) -AA-NH-]jX is meant an amino acid residue including the naturally-occurring amino acids such as: glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, lysine, proline, tryptophan, methionine, serine, threonine, cysteine, tyrosine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, arginine, ornithine, and histidine, and synthetic derivatives thereof. These compounds may be in L or D configuration and are well known and readily available to those skilled in the art. In this formula, j is an integer from one to three, inclusive, so that two or three amino acid residues may be joined to yield a dipeptide or a tripeptide, respectively, and X is a terminal group.
The amino acid derivatives may be in the "D" and/or "L" configuration, the prefixes "D" and "L" being a means of indicating the relative configurations of various optically active compounds, especially carbohydrates. The compound glyceraldehyde, CH2OHCHOPCHO, was selected as a standard of reference, because it is the simplest carbohydrate - an aldotriose - capable of optical isomerism. (+)-Glyceraldehyde was arbitrarily assigned a configuration and was designated D-glyceraldehyde, and (-)-glyceraldehyde was assigned a second configuration and was designated L-glyceraldehyde. R.T. Morrison & R.N. Boyd, Organic Chemistry, 1087-88 (1978). Compounds related configuationally to D-glyceraldehyde are given the designation D, and compounds related to L-glyceraldehyde are given the designation L. Organic Chemistry at 1089.
By "renin inhibitory peptide" is meant a compound capable of inhibiting the renin enzyme in mammalian metabolism and having three or more amino acid residues linked by peptidic or pseudo-peptidic bonds.
By "a non-cleavable transition state insert" is meant a transition state insert which is not cleavable by a hydrolytic enzyme in mammalian metabolism. A variety of such transition state inserts, corresponding to the 10,11-position of the renin substrate, are known in the art, including those disclosed in the following references:

As is apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, the renin inhibitory peptides of the present invention can occur in several isomeric forms, depending on the configuration around the asymmetric carbon atoms. All such isomeric forms are included within the scope of the present invention. The E isomer of the cyclopropyl amino acid is preferred. Preferably, the stereochemistry of the other amino acids corresponds to that of the naturally-occurring amino acids.
Renin inhibitory peptides commonly have protecting groups at the N-terminus and the C-terminus. These protecting groups are known in the polypeptide art. Examples of these protecting groups are given below. Any of these protecting groups are suitable for the renin inhibitory peptides of the present invention.
Preferably, the moiety of the formula XL2c of the present invention may occur at the C-terminus of the renin inhibitory peptide and, as such, will, when coupled with a suitable protecting group, assume the ending position.
These compounds are shown in relation to the human renin substrate as follows: 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
-His Pro Phe His Leu Val He His- X A6 B7 Cg D9 E10 F11 G12 H13 I14 Z, The present invention provides peptide inhibitors of renin which contain the moiety of the formula XL2c. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include: acetate, adipate, alginate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, citrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptanoate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, oxalate, palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, succinate tartrate, thiocyanate, tosylate, and undecanoate.
The carbon atom content of various hydrocarbon-containing moieties is indicated by a prefix designating the minimum and maximum number of carbon atoms in the moiety, i.e., the prefix (Ci-Cj) indicates a moiety of the integer "i" to the integer "j" carbon atoms, inclusive. Thus (C1-C4)alkyl refers to alkyl of one to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, or methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, and isomeric forms thereof. C4-C7cyclic amino indicates a monocyclic group containing one nitrogen and 4 to 7 carbon atoms. Examples of (C3-C10)cycloalkyl which include alkyl-substituted cycloalkyl containing a total of up to 10 total carbon atoms, are cyclopropyl, 2-methylcyclopropyl, 2,2-dimethylcyclopropyl, 2,3-diethylcyclopropyl, 2-butylcyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, 2-methylcyclobutyl, 3-propylcyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, 2,2-dimethylcyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, cyclononyl, cyclodecyl and isomeric forms thereof.
Examples of aryl include phenyl, naphthyl, (o-, m- , p-)tolyl, (o-, m-, p-)ethylphenyl, 2-ethyl-tolyl, 4-ethyl-o-tolyl, 5-ethyl-mtolyl, (o-, m-, or p-)propylphenyl, 2-propyl-(o-, m-, or p-)tolyl, 4- isopropyl-2,6-xylyl, 3-propyl-4-ethylphenyl, (2,3,4- 2,3,6-, or 2-4,5-)-trimethylphenyl. (o-, m-, or p-)fluorophenyl, (o-, m-, or p-trifluoromethyl)phenyl, 4-fluoro-2,5-xylyl, (2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4- , or 3 , 5-)difluorophenyl, (o-, m-, or p-)chlorophenyl, 2-chloro-ptolyl, (3-, 4-, 5- or 6-)chloro-o-tolyl, 4-chloro-2-propylphenyl, 2- isopropyl-4-chlorophenyl, 4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl, (3- or 4-)chloro- 2-fluorophenyl, (o-, m- , or p-)trifluoro-methylphenyl, (o-, m- , or p-)ethoxyphenyl, (4- or 5-)chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl, and 2,4-dichloro(5- or 6-)methγlphenyl, and the like.
Examples of -Het include: 2-, 3-, or 4-pyridyl, imidazolyl, indolyl, Nin-formγl-indolyl, Nin-C1-C5alkyl-C(O)-indolyl, [1,2,4]- triazolyl, 2-, 4-, or 5-pyrimidinyl, 2- or 3-thienyl, piperidinyl, pyrryl, pyrrolinyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrazolyl, pyrazolinyl, pyrazolidinyl, imidazolinyl, imidazolidinyl, pyrazinyl, piperazinyl, pyridazinyl, oxazolyl, oxazolidinyl, isoxazolyl, isoxazolidinyl, morpholinyl, thiazolyl, thiazolidinyl, isothiazolyl, isothiazolidinyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, benzimidazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzoxazolyl, furyl, thienyl, and benzothienyl. Each of these moieties may be substituted as noted above. As would be generally recognized by those skilled in the art of organic chemistry, a heterocycle as defined herein for -Het would not be bonded through oxygen or sulfur or through nitrogen which is within a ring and part of a double bond. Halo is halogen (fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo) or trifluoromethyl.
Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable cations include: pharmacologically acceptable metal cations, ammonium, amine cations, or quaternary ammonium cations. Especially preferred metal cations are those derived from the alkali metals, e.g., lithium, sodium, and potassium, and from the alkaline earth metals, e.g., magnesium and calcium, although cationic forms of other metals, e.g., aluminum, zinc, and iron are also within the scope of this invention. Pharmacologically acceptable amine cations are those derived from primary, secondary, or tertiary amines.
The novel peptides herein contain both natural and synthetic amino acid residues. These residues are depicted using standard amino acid abbreviations (see, e.g., Eur. J. Biochem., 138, 9 (1984)) unless otherwise indicated. In addition to the treatment of warm-blooded animals such as mice, rats, horses, dogs, cats, etc., the compounds of the invention are effective in the treatment of humans.
The renin inhibitors of this invention are useful for treating any medical condition for which it is beneficial to reduce the levels of active circulating renin. Examples of such conditions include renin-associated hypertension and hyperaldosteronism, hypertension, hypertension under treatment with another antihypertensive and/or a diuretic agent, congestive heart failure, angina, and post-myocardial infarction. The renin-angiotension system may play a role in maintenance of intracellular homeostasis: see Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 86, 1739-1742 (1984) at page 1740 under Discussion. The compounds will also be useful as molecular probes for the diagnosis and study of the physiology of blood pressure regulation or other physiological functions. Further, the renin inhibitors of this invention may be useful in the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders and disorders of intracellular homeotasis. The possible role of the renin-angiotensin system in the maintenance of intracellular homeostasis is disclosed in Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 86:1739-1742 (1984). Additionally, the renin inhibitors of this invention potentiate the antithrombotic activity of a thromboxane antagonist (U.S. patent 4,558,037). The antihypertensive effect of the renin inhibitors of this invention are potentiated by combination with a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor.
The compounds of the present invention are preferably orally administered to humans to effect renin inhibition for the purpose of favorably affecting blood pressure. For this purpose, the compounds are administered from 0.1 mg to 1000 mg per kg per dose, administered from 1 to 4 times daily. The compounds of the present invention are preferably orally administered in the form of pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts. Preferred pharmacologically acceptable salts for oral administration include the citrate and aspartate salts, although any pharmacologically acceptable salt is useful in this invention, including those listed above. These salts may be in hydrated or solvated form.
Other routes of administration include parenteral, by inhalation spray, or rectally in dosage unit formulations containing conventional non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants and vehicles. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous injections, intravenous, intramuscular, intrasternal injection or infusion techniques.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable preparation, for example as a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3- butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectibles.
Equivalent dosages for such other routes of administration are thus employed. The exact dose depends on the age, weight, and condition of the patient and on the frequency and route of administration. Such variations are within the skill of the practitioner or can readily be determined. The compounds of the present invention may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts both those which can be produced from the free bases by methods well known in the art and those with which acids have pharmacologically acceptable conjugate bases.
Conventional forms and means for administering renin-inhibiting compounds may be employed and are described, e.g., in U.S. Patent No. 4,424,207 which is incorporated by reference herein. Likewise, the amounts disclosed in the U.S. Patent No. 4,424,207 are examples applicable to the compounds of the present invention.
The renin-inhibiting compounds of this invention may be administered in combination with other agents used in antihypertensive therapy such as diuretics, α and/or β-adrenergic blocking agents, CNS-acting agents, adrenergic neuron blocking agents, vasodilators, angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitors, and the like as described, for example, in published European patent application 156 318.

Typically, the individual daily dosages for these combinations can range from about one-fifth of the minimally recommended clinical dosages to the maximum recommended levels for the entities when they are given singly. Coadministration is most readily accomplished by combining the active ingredients into a suitable unit dosage form containing the proper dosages of each. Other methods of coadministration are, of course, possible.
The compounds of the present invention are prepared as depicted in the charts and as described more fully in the Preparations and Examples. In the charts, Boc represents butyloxycarbonyl; Cbz represents benzyloxycarbonyl; Ph represents phenyl. Chart A
The synthesis of the compounds of formula A-3 and A-4 is shown in Chart A. Addition of the aldehyde of formula A-1, preparation of which is known in the art, to a twofold excess of the lithiated pyrrolidine formamide of formula A-2, prepared as described in A.I. Meyers et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc, 106:3270-3276 (1984), in tetrahydrofuran at -80°C affords a mixture of two diastereomeric alcohols of formula A-3 and A-4. While inspection of the crude reaction by NMR clearly indicates a preference for the formation of the threo diastereomer, the alcohol of formula A-3 (2/1), purification (silica gel) always affords an approximate 1/1 mixture of the diastereomeric alcohols. The alcohol of formula A-3 is a viscous oil while the alcohol of formula A-4 is a crystalline solid. The alcohols of formula A-3 and A-4 are used as the starting materials for the compounds prepared in Charts B and C.
CHART B The synthesis of the compound of formula B-7 is shown in Chart B. The compound of formula A-3, prepared as described in Chart A, is used as the formula B-1 starting material. Treatment of the compound of formula B-1 with hydrazine in acidic aqueous ethanol as described by Meyers et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc (1984) 106, 3270-76, affords the desired Boc-amino alcohol of formula B-2 as a white solid. The Bocamino alcohol of formula B-2 is then converted to the Boc-Cbz alcohol of formula B-3. Treatment of the Boc-Cbz alcohol of formula B-3 with trifluoroacetic acid/methylene chloride (0°C) then affords the amino alcohol of formula B-4 which is coupled to histidine. Addition of triethylamine (TEA) to a mixture of Boc-L-His(πBom)-OH, the amino alcohol of formula B-4, and diethylphosphorylcyanide (DEPC) in dimethylformamide (DMF) affords the desired pseudo dipeptide of formula B-5. Since racemization may occur at either the oxidation step (alcohol to aldehyde) and/or the addition of the lithiated pyrrolidine formamide of formula A-2 to the aldehyde of formula A-1 (see Chart A), the dipeptide of formula B-5 is an approximate 2:1 mixture of diastereomers (11 and d1). The dipeptide of formula B-5 is then debocylated with 50% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/methylene chloride at 0°C. The resulting amine is coupled to Ac-Trp[Nin-For]- Pro-Phe-OH using diethylphosphorylcyanide (DEPC) as the coupling reagent to yield the compound of formula B-6 as crude material. The compound of formula B-6 is then treated with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride to remove the benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) and the benzoyoxymethyl protecting groups to afford, after purification, the desired peptide of formula B-7 as the trifluoroacetate (TFA) salt.
CHART C The synthesis of the diastereomeric compounds of formula C-7 and C-8 is shown in Chart C. The compound of formula A-4, prepared as described in Chart A, is used as the formula C-1 starting material. Treatment of the compound of formula C-1 with hydrazine in acidic aqueous ethanol as described by Meyers et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1984) 106, 3270-76, affords the desired Boc-amino alcohol of formula C-2. The Boc-amino alcohol of formula C-2 is then converted to the Boc-Cbz alcohol of formula C-3. Treatment of the Boc-Cbz alcohol of formula C-3 with trifluoroacetic acid/methylene chloride then affords the amino alcohol of formula C-4. Addition of triethylamine (TEA) to a mixture of Boc-L-His(πBom)-OH, the amino alcohol of formula C-4, and diethylphosphorylcyanide (DEPC) in dimethylformamide (DMF) affords the desired pseudo dipeptide of formula C-5. As in the case of the dipeptide of formula B-5, the dipeptide of formula C-5 is also an approximate 2:1 mixture of diastereomers (11 and dl) . The dipeptide of formula C-5 is then debocylated with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/methylene chloride (0°C), and coupled to Ac-Trp[Nin-For]-Pro-Phe-OH using diethylphosphorylcyanide (DEPC) as the coupling agent to yield the compound of formula C-6 as crude material. The compound of formula C-6 is then treated with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride to remove the benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) and the benzyloxymethyl protecting groups to afford, after purification, two diastereomeric peptides of formula C-7 and C-8. Other renin inhibitory peptides of the present invention, which contain a moiety of the formula XL2c wherein R90, R91, R100, R101 and R102 are as defined above, may be prepared by processes analogous to those described in Charts A, B and C by using the appropriate starting materials. Aldehydes of the formula V bearing the desired R90 and R91 groups may be obtained from the corresponding natural and unnatural protected amino acids and esters by procedures known in the art.
Lithiated heterocyclic compounds of the formula VI, wherein n is 0 or 1 to form aromatic, unsaturated and saturated compounds, wherein R100 and R101 taken together with the carbon and nitrogen atoms to which they are bonded to form the desired heterocyclic ring and wherein R102 is a cleavable protecting group, may be prepared by processes analogous to those described in P. Beak, Chem. Review, 84:471-523 (1984); and Handbook of Heterocyclic Compounds, Ed. A.R. Katritzky, Pergamon Press, Oxford (1985), p. 261. Such protecting groups include carbamates, aryl or alkyl amides, thioamides, ureas and formamidine. Formamidine is the preferred protecting group. When there is one heteroatom in the heterocyclic ring, lithiation occurs on the carbon atom of the ring adjacent to the heteroatom. When there is more than one heteroatom in the heterocyclic ring, lithiation occurs at the carbon atom of the ring, adjacent to the heteroatom which has been activated for metallation. See, for example, P. Beak, Chem. Review, 84:471-523 (1984); A.I. Meyers et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc, 106:3270-3276 (1984).
Taking the appropriate aldehyde and heterocyclic compounds as starting materials and using the procedures described in Charts A, B and C, other renin inhibitory peptides of the present invention may be prepared.
Generally, the renin inhibiting polypeptides may be prepared by either polymer assisted or solution phase peptide synthetic procedures analogous to those described hereinafter or to those methods known in the art. For example, the carboxylic moiety of Nα-t-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc)-substituted amino acid derivatives having suitable side chain protecting groups, if necessary, may be condensed with the amino functionality of a suitably protected amino acid, peptide or polymer-bound peptide using a conventional coupling protocol such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT) or diethylphosphoryl cyanide (DEPC) and triethylamine (Et3N) in methylene chloride or dimethylformamide. The synthetic procedures used to incorporate the novel moieties herein are analgous to those described, for example, in U.S. patents 4,424,207; 4,470,971; 4,477,440; 4,477,441; 4,478,826; 4,478,827; 4,479,941; and 4,485,099, and copending application Serial No. 753,198, filed 9 July 1985, and copending application Serial No. 825,250, filed 3 February 1986, all of which are expressly incorporated by reference herein. See, also, published European patent applications 45,161; 45,665; 53,017; 77,028; 77,029; 81,783; 104,041; 111,266; 114,993; and 118,223. Following coupling reaction completion, the Nα-Boc moiety may be selectively removed with 45% trifluoroacetic acid with or without 2% anisole (v/v) in methylene chloride. Neutralization of the resultant trifluoroacetate salt may be accomplished with 10% diisopropylethylamine or sodium bicarbonate in methylene chloride. In the case of polymer-assisted peptide synthesis, this stepwise, coupling strategy may be partially or completely automated to provide the desired peptide-polymer intermediates. Anhydrous hydrofluoric acid treatment of the peptide-polymer intermediate may then be used to effect simultaneous protecting group removal and cleavage of the peptide from its polymeric support. A notable exception to this includes Nin-formylindolyl-substituted peptides in which the Nin-formyl-indolyl (FTrp) moiety is stable to TFA or HF but may be removed by NH3 or NaOH. Because FTrp is somewhat unstable to base in synthetic procedures, possibly causing lower yields, it may be desirable in solution phase synthesis to introduce the FTrp-containing moiety late in the synthetic sequence so that it is not exposed to such conditions.
The incorporation of Nin-formyl-Trp into compounds of the present invention is easily accomplished because of the commercial availability of Nα-Boc-Nin-formyl-Trp-OH. However, the Nin-formyl moiety may be introduced into indolyl-substituted amino acid derivatives or related compounds by reaction with HCl-formic acid as reported in the literature, see A. Previero et al, Biochim. Biophys.- Acta 147, 453 (1967); Y.C.S. Yang et al, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 15, 130 (1980).
The novel renin inhibitory tripeptide of the formula III may be prepared by the procedures described above.
Generally, methods of alkylation useful in alkylating histidine for use in the present invention are found in Cheung, S.T. et al, Can. J. Chem., Vol 55, pp. 906-910 (1977). However it is now found that in Cheung, S. T. et al, methods it is critical that the reaction conditions for the alkylation of histidine be anhydrous. Further, it is now found also that during work-up instead of adding water directly to the reaction mixture, it is preferred that a buffered aqueous solution be added to the reaction mixture, for example, aqueous sodium or potassium hydrogen sulfate.
Variations in the above description for starting materials, reactants, reaction conditions and required protecting groups to obtain other such N-alkylated compounds are known to an ordinarily skilled chemist or are readily available in the literature.
These peptides may also be prepared by the standard solid phase techniques of Merrifield. Appropriate protecting groups, reagents, and solvents for both the solution and solid phase methods can be found in "The Peptides: Analysis, Synthesis, and Biology," Vols. 1-5, eds. E. Gross and T. Meienhofer, Academic Press, NY, 1979-1983.
The compounds of the present invention may be in either free form or in protected form at one or more of the remaining (not previously protected) peptide, carboxyl, amino, hydroxy, or other reactive groups. The protecting groups may be any of those known in the polypeptide art. Examples of nitrogen and oxygen protection groups are set forth in T.W. Greene, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, Wiley, New York, (1981); J.F.W. McOmie, ed. Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, Plenum Press (1973); and J. Fuhrhop and G. Benzlin, Organic Synthesis, Verlag Chemie (1983). Included among the nitrogen protective groups are t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), benzyloxycarbonyl, acetyl, allyl, phthalyl, benzyl, benzoyl, trityl and the like.
The following compounds of the present invention are preferred:

Pyrrolidine formamidine of formula A-2, prepared as described in A.I. Meyers et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc, 106:3270-3276 (1984), (7.8 g) is added to 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran under nitrogen and subsequently cooled to -80°C (ether/carbon dioxide). Tert-butyl lithium (1.7 m in pentane) is then added dropwise over about 10 minutes. After complete addition, the reaction is warmed to -25°C for 1 hour. The reaction is cooled back to -80ºC and the aldehyde of formula A-l (6.37 g), in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) is added dropwise over 1 hour. After complete addition, the reaction is stirred an additional 45 minutes at -80°C and then quenched by adding 10 ml of a saturated ammonium chloride solution. The -80ºC bath is removed and the reaction is further diluted with 20% sodium hydroxide and extracted with ether. The combined extracts are combined, dried (magnesium sulfate) and solvent removed in vacuo to yield about 10 g of an oily semi-solid. The oily semi-solid is diluted with 25% ethyl acetate/Skellysolve B and placed in the freezer overnight. 731 mg of the second title product, a white powder, is isolated via filtration.
