Descrizione dell'invenzione industriale Description of the industrial invention

La presente invenzione riguarda la preparazione dell'acido 1 -alfa, 3-alfa,7-alfa-triidrossi-5-beta-colan-24-oico, noto anche come acido vulpecolico, e più specificamente un procedimento per la sua sintesi in modo industrialmente vantaggioso. The present invention relates to the preparation of 1-alpha, 3-alpha, 7-alpha-trihydroxy-5-beta-colan-24-oic acid, also known as vulpecolic acid, and more specifically a process for its synthesis in a manner industrially advantageous.

L’acido vulpecolico, avente formula: Vulpecolic acid, having the formula:

( I ) (I)

è stato isolato e descritto per la prima volta nel 1986 (Sum P.Lee e coll., Journal of Lipid Research, vol.28, 1987, pag.19-31) al pari di alcuni suoi derivati ed è stato reperito nella bile di un marsupiale australiano (Trichosurus vulpecula). was isolated and described for the first time in 1986 (Sum P. Lee et al., Journal of Lipid Research, vol. 28, 1987, pages 19-31) like some of its derivatives and was found in the bile of an Australian marsupial (Trichosurus vulpecula).

Questo acido appartiene alla categoria degli acidi biliari e presenta caratteristiche e proprietà analoghe a quelle dell’acido ursodesossicolico, in particolare per quanto riguarda il trattamento della calcolosi biliare, colesterolica e della dispepsia epatobiliare. This acid belongs to the category of bile acids and has characteristics and properties similar to those of ursodeoxycholic acid, in particular as regards the treatment of gallstones, cholesterol and hepatobiliary dyspepsia.

Naturalmente non è ipotizzabile un suo sfruttamento terapeutico se la produzione di questo acido dovesse avvenire per estrazione del prodotto naturale dalla cistifellea del predetto marsupiale. Of course, its therapeutic exploitation is not conceivable if the production of this acid were to take place by extraction of the natural product from the gallbladder of the aforementioned marsupial.

Scopo principale della presente invenzione è quello di fornire un procedimento di sintesi per la preparazione dell'acido vulpecolico in modo industrialmente vantaggioso.
