K. Otsubo et al., SYNTHESIS OF METABOLITES OF THE CEREBROPROTECTING AGENT PIPERAZINYL]ACETYL]AMINO]-2,2,4,6-TETRAMETHYLINDAN (OPC-14117), Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 45(4), 1997, pp. 728-732
A hydroxylated metabolite (5a) of 7-hydroxy-1-[[[4-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1
-piperazinyl acetyl]amino]-2,2,4,6-tetramethylindan (OPC-14117), which
is a novel cerebroprotective agent with central nervous system-stimul
ating activity, was synthesized by use of a model cytochrome P-450 sys
tem. In order to confirm the structure of this compound it was prepare
d by another route. The structures of several metabolites (5a, 7 and 8
) were identified by means of comparisons with the synthetic compounds
.
