Enantioselective biotransformation of a new theophylline derivative
Reductive amination of 4 with (RS)-2 is an improved method to obtain 7-((RS)2-((RS)-1-Methyl-2-phenyl-ethylamino)propyl)-theophylline (3) (ratio of diastereomers 1:1) compared with SN-displacement of proxyphyllintosylate with (RS)-2 (ratio of diastereomers 9:1). Due to steric hindrance 3 is no noteworthy prodrug for the intermediate formation of (RS)-2 in rats. The enantioselectivity of 2 after a single oral dose of 3 is determined in 24-h urine by HPLC on a Cyclobond-column using the isoindole derivatives, formed from o-phthalaldehyde, thioglycolic acid, and 2. The R(-)-amphetamine isomer is formed to a lesser amount (34.8%, range 32-37%) than the S(+)-isomer (65.2%, range 63-68%).
