title: Improved synthetic routes to the novel thromboxane receptor antagonist ICI 192605: activity of synthetic 1,3-dioxane intermediates.
abstract: A study of the synthetic routes to the thromboxane receptor antagonist ICI 192605 4(Z)-6-(2-o-chlorophenyl-4-o-hydroxyphenyl-1,3-dioxan-cis-5-yl) hexenoic acid is described which led to an improvement in overall synthetic yield from 20 to 55%. Invitro thromboxane receptor antagonist data are reported for the novel 1,3-dioxane synthetic intermediates. These data indicated that shortening of the side chain in an appropriately substituted 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane (e.g. ICI 180080) from a heptenoic acid, to a hexenoic acid, had little effect on thromboxane receptor antagonist potency (pA2 = 7.5 rabbit thoracic aorta for the heptenoic acid ICI 180080 and pA2 = 6.9 for the corresponding hexenoic acid. Human platelet aggregation pA2 values were 6.7 and 7.0, respectively).
