- PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ATORVASTATIN
-
The present invention relates to a process for preparing the cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitor atorvastatin, (3R,5R)-7-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-isopropyl-3-phenyl-4- (phenylcarbamoyl)-lH-pyrrol-l-yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acid calcium salt, which comprises

- Process for trans-6-(2-(substituted-pyrrol-1-yl)alkyl)pryan-2-one inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis
-
An improved process for the preparation of trans-6-[2-(substituted-pyrrol-1-yl)alkyl]pyran-2-ones by a novel synthesis is described where 1,6-heptadien-4-ol is converted in eight operations to the desired products, as well as an improved process for the preparation of (2R-trans) and trans-(±)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1-methylethyl)-N-4-diphenyl-1-[2-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide by a novel synthesis where 4-methyl-3-oxo-N-phenylpentanamide is converted in eight operations to the desired product or alternatively 4-fluoro-α-[2-methyl-1-oxopropyl]-γ-oxo-N,β-diphenylbenzenebutaneamide is converted in one step to the desired product, and additionally, a process for preparing (2R-trans)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1-methylethyl)-N,4-diphenyl-1-[2-(tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxamide from (R)-4-cyano-3-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]butanoic acid, as well as other valuable intermediates used in the processes.

- Inhibitors of Cholesterol Biosynthesis. 3. Tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6--2H-pyran-2-one Inhibitors of HMG-CoA Reductase. 2. Effects of Introducing Substituents at Positions Three and Four of the Pyrrole Nucleus
-
A series of trans-tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6--2H-pyran-2 ones and their dihydroxy acids were prepared and tested for their ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in vitro.Inhibitory potency was found to increase subtantially when substituents were introduced into positions three and four of the pyrrole ring.A systematic exploration of structure-activity relationships at these two positions led to the identification of a compound ((+)-33, (+)-(4R)-trans-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(1-methylethyl)-N,3-diphenyl-1- -1H-pyrrole-4-carboxamide) with five times the inhibitory potency of the fungal metabolite compactin.
