2S)-Benzenesulfonylamino-3-[3-methoxy-4-{4-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ylamino)piperidin-1-yl}benzoylamino]propionic acid, MN-447, is a potent antagonist of the integrins r v β 3 and r IIb β 3 .Herein, we report a novel synthetic protocol that produces MN-447 in an overall yield of 45%. This protocol, when compared with the original synthetic route for MN-447, is more cost-effective, requires fewer steps, does not require chromatographic purification of intermediates and MN-447, and increases the overall yield by 35%. This report focuses on the synthetic strategies that were developed for this protocol. Now, the large quantities of MN-447 that are needed for preclinical and toxicological studies can be readily obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
