Ramatroban (INN; also known as BAY u3405) [1] is a thromboxane receptor antagonist. [2] It is also a DP2 receptor antagonist. [3]
Ramatroban is indicated for the treatment of coronary artery disease. [4] It has also been used for the treatment of asthma. [5]
It has been suggested that ramatroban, by modulating DP2 receptor, can reverse viremia-associated proinflammatory and prothrombotic processes which are similar to those induced by SARS-Cov-2.[ citation needed ] Hence, ramatroban, that has been used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis in Japan for the past two decades with a well established safety profile, merits investigation as a novel immunotherapy for the treatment of COVID-19 disease, although no clinical trial has yet been conducted. [6]
Ramatroban was developed by the German pharmaceutical company Bayer AG and is co-marketed in Japan by Bayer Yakuhin then marketed by Kyorin Pharmaceutical and Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. under the trade name Baynas.
It is a tetrahydrocarbazolamine derivative and cyclized tryptamine.
The synthesis has been described: [7] [8] [9] Cmp#4 [10] Patent: [11]
The starting material is called 1,4-cyclohexanedione monoethylene glycol ketal aka 1,4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-one [4746-97-8]. The Borsche–Drechsel cyclization between (1) and Phenylhydrazine gives 5-Oxo-tetrahydrocarbazole ethylene ketal [54621-12-4] (2). Hydrolysis of the ketal protecting group gives 1,2,4,9-tetrahydrocarbazol-3-one [51145-61-0] (3). Reduction of the ketone with sodium borohydride gives 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-carbazol-3-ol [14384-34-0] (4). Acetylation by treatment with vinyl acetate [108-05-4] gives (3R)-3beta-Acetoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-carbazole, PC59051734 (5a) & (3S)-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-9H-carbazole-3-ol, PC8142712 (5b). These can be separated at this stage into pure (S) for the next step. A Mitsunobu reaction in the presence of DPPA leads to an Azide with pure Walden inversion kinetics w/o racemization. The Staudinger reduction of the azide in situ gives (R)-3-Amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole [874-937-6] [116650-33-0] (6).
