Abstract

Synthetic and biological evaluation of novel diphenyloxazole derivatives containing a pyrrolidine ring, as a prostacyclin mimetic without the PG skeleton, are described. Asymmetric reduction of a ketone using a chiral Ru complex and reductive amination by NaBH4 produces four isomers of the tetrahydronaphthalene ring and the pyrrolidine ring with high stereoselectivity. FR193262 (4), (R,R)-diphenyloxazolyl pyrrolidine derivative, displays high potency and agonist efficacy at the IP receptor and has good bioavailability in rats and dogs.
