Summary: | [Display omitted]
A practical asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of the immunosuppressive FTY720-phosphate (
2) was accomplished, and the enantiomers were pharmacologically evaluated. Several lipases showed considerable activity and enantioselectivity for
O-acylation of
N-acetyl FTY720 (
3) or
N-benzyloxycarbonyl FTY720 (
7) in combination with vinyl acetate or benzyl vinyl carbonate as the acyl donors. The synthesis using the lipase-catalyzed acylation as the key step produced the enantiomerically pure (>99.5% ee) enantiomers of
2 in multigram quantities. (
S)-Isomer of
2 had more potent binding affinities to S1P
1,3,4,5 and inhibitory activity on lymphocyte migration toward S1P than (
R)-
2, suggesting that (
S)-isomer of
2 is responsible for the immunosuppressive activity after administration of
1. Severe bradycardia was observed in anesthetized rats when (
S)-
2 was administered intravenously, while (
R)-
2 had no clear effect on heart rate up to 0.3
mg/kg. |
