- the benzoic acid solution, flavor and color are diluted with a portion of the water and added, with stirring. Sufficient water is then added to produce the required volume .
- Formulation 7 An intravenous formulation may be prepared as follows :
- the solution of the above ingredients generally is administered intravenously to a subject at a rate of 1 mL/min.
- Acetyl chloride (13 mL, 186 mmol) was added dropwise to dry methanol (1.5 L) at 0 °C and then stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h.
- 7-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzofuran-2- carboxylic acid (39.6 g, 177 mmol) was added to the resulting acidic methanol and the mixture heated at reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere for 18 h.
- the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the resulting precipitated solid filtered, washed with cold methanol (500 mL) and dried to give the methyl ester as a light tan solid (41.2 g, 98%) .
- reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h and then evaporated to provide a solid, which was purified by flash chromatography (gradient: 5-20% ethyl acetate / hexanes) to furnish the benzyl ether as a white solid (57 g, 90%) .
- the 5, 6, 7-trimethoxy-lH-indole-2-carboxylic acid used in part L above was prepared as follows .
- the preparative chromatographic system consisted of a semi- automated integrated system Model LC80.600.VE.70 from
- the column pumping system was a diaphragm Lewa model EKM2 and the sample pump was a Lewa model FC1.
- the system had a 10 port fraction collector and Rainin Dynamax model UV-1 variable UV-VIS detector with full flow cell.
- the preparative column was an 8 cm x 70 cm Dynamic Axial Compression (DAC) configuration.
- the maximum bed length was 40 cm with a maximum working pressure of 70 bar [1000 psi] .
- the hydraulic pump used to compress the column bed was a Haskel model MS-36.
- the optimized run time was 13 min. Ten plus grams of the racemate was separated in 35 runs on the 8 cm column. The 5.1 gm (Isomer 1) and 5.0 p (Isomer 2) of enantiomers isolated from the preparatory chromatography represented a 98% recovery from the racemate. Enantiomeric excess of the separated isomers was 97.6% (Isomer 1) and 95.5% (Isomer 2), respectively .
- the analytical chromatograph consisted of an integrated Shimadzu Scientific Instruments system [Columbia, MD, USA] with gradient pump model LC-10AD, variable wavelength detector model SPD-10A, autosampler model SIL-10A, fraction collector model FRC-10A, and system controller model SCL- 10A.
- the enantiomers were separated on a 10 micron 4.6 x 250 mm Chiralcel OD-R column using acetonitrile and perchlorate buffer.
