Synthesis of 1-β-O-acyl glucuronides of diclofenac, mefenamic acid and (S)-naproxen by the chemo-selective enzymatic removal of protecting groups from the corresponding methyl acetyl derivatives

Abstract: Using a straightforward chemo-enzymatic procedure, 1-beta-O-acyl glucuronides of three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, diclofenac (DF) 5, mefenamic acid (MF) 6 and (S)-naproxen (NP) 7, were prepared. Caesium salts of these carboxylic acid drugs reacted with commercially available methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-1-bromo-1-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranuronate 4 to give exclusively the corresponding 1-beta-O-acyl glucuronides 8-10 in moderate yields. The protecting acetyl (for -OH group) and methyl ester (for -CO2H g… Show more

“…The rearranged compound 10 was formed with 12 %y ield and 30 %o f the starting material 8 could be recovered. Finally, 9b was transformed into the desired aldosterone-18-b-glucuronide 3 by treatment with PLE esterase [17] to give the corresponding acid 20 followed by reaction with lipase WG [18] to remove the acetyl moieties avoiding anyi somerization at C-17 with 24 % overall yield.…”

“…β‐Glucuronidase (β‐Glu) stands out as an enzyme with extensive prior characterization and availability of the substrates (prodrugs) to yield therapeutics with a wide spectrum of action, many of which are available commercially. This includes drugs to treat cancer, inflammation, hypertension, viral diseases, as well as agents for imaging – all due to the fact that glucuronides are natural metabolic products of commercial drugs and therefore undergo stringent analysis for regulatory approval and to define the scope and utility of therapies. The above cited literature reports describe examples of glucuronide substrates to yield therapeutic molecules to treat a magnitude of diseases as well as imaging reagents and this illustrates that the same enzyme, β‐Glu, can serve to produce a panel of diverse products, independent of their structure, function, solubility and charge.…”

“…Purification by HPLC led to the isolation of the methyl ester of mefenamic acid [13]. The facile hydrolysis of acyl glucosides and glucuronides is well documented [5,14].…”
