Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of the pharmaceutical compound l,6-bis-[3-(3-carboxymethylphenyl)-4-(2-a-D-mannopyranosyloxy)-phenyl]- hexane (also called Bimosiamose).
  • Bimosiamose can be prepared in bigger quantities and in an improved manner with improved overall yield as compared to the methods of the prior art.
  • This new method also allows for the technical production of Bimosiamose in a selective crystal form (polymorph) and in an industrial scale.
  • Bimosiamose acts as a pan-selectin antagonist and inhibits the leukocyte extravasation.
  • leukocyte extravasation is a key step in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory disorders or conditions, the compound of formula (I) offers the opportunity to be used in a variety of inflammatory and micro -inflammatory indications and conditions.
  • the compound Bimosiamose of formula (I) has ten chiral centers and can be used for the prophylaxis, treatment and diagnosis of inflammatory disorders and for the treatment and prophylaxis of cosmetic and dermatological conditions where micro -inflammatory conditions are involved.
  • the compound of formula (I) may also be administered to treat other diseases that are associated with cell-cell adhesion.
  • the compound of formula (I) modulates the binding of E-selectin or P-selectin or L-selectin, many disease that are related to this interaction may be treated by the modulation of this binding interaction.
  • the compound of formula (I) is also useful for the treatment, diagnosis, and prophylaxis of several forms of cancer, including lung and colon cancer, for instance.
  • the compound of formula (I) can be used for the treatment, diagnosis, and prophylaxis of diseases or conditions, in which selectin mediated leukocyte retention is involved, e.g. in lung diseases [D. Bock et al, Curr. Respir. Med.
  • the compound of formula (I) and its physiologically tolerable salts are suitable as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for the prevention, treatment, and diagnosis of various inflammatory or micro-inflammatory diseases or conditions.
  • API active pharmaceutical ingredients
  • the compound of formula (I) and/or its physiologically tolerable salts are preferably employed for this in the form of pharmaceutical preparations which are tailored with respect to their composition and the dosage form to the medicinal effects desired in the specific case.
  • Bimosiamose can be used in the form of (a) solid preparations such as tablets (e.g. compressed, layered, sugar, film or enteric coated, chewable, delayed or extended release, sublingual, buccal or effervescent) or capsules (e.g. hard filled or soft gelatine) or in the form of (b) liquid preparations such as oral solutions, emulsions and suspensions, parenteral solutions e.g. for injections and infusions, including lyophilized powders and ready-to-use injections, or ophthalmic solutionsor in the form of (c) semi-solid formulations for topical administration such as ointments, creams, gels, or mircoemulsions.
  • solid preparations such as tablets (e.g. compressed, layered, sugar, film or enteric coated, chewable, delayed or extended release, sublingual, buccal or effervescent) or capsules (e.g. hard filled or soft gelatine)

  • the compound of formula (I) may be used for treating ageing of the skin caused by extrinsic and intrinsic factors.
  • the signs of skin ageing are defined by the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, by the yellowing of the skin which develops a wizened appearance along with the appearance of pigmentation blemishes, by a change in the thickness of the skin, generally resulting in a thickening of the stratum corneum and of the epidermis and a thinning of the dermis, by disorganization of the elastin and collagen fibers which causes a loss of elasticity, of suppleness and of firmness, and by the appearance of telangiectasia.
  • Various ways of synthesis for Bimosiamose are known, see e. g. T. Kogan et al, J.
  • the method of present invention works particularly well when ethyl esters are applied as protecting groups. They have a clear advantage compared e. g. to the corresponding methyl esters. They are much more stable with respect to the conditions of an industrial scale and there is no need for the groups to be cleaved and re-installed during the synthesis process of Bimosiamose. Therefore, the number of reaction steps can be reduced as compared to the methods of the prior art [see T. Kogan et al, J. Medicinal Chemistry 41(7), 1998, 1099-1111; US 5 919 768; US 5 712 387].
