Large quantities of pure bulk drug were required toinitiatedevelopment for possible indications as antiasthma and neuroprotective agents. Safety concerns and reproducibilityproblems encountered with the laboratory procedures (Bundy, G.L.; et al. J. Med. Chem.1995, 38, 4161) forced thedevelopmentof a reliable large-scale process which within six monthsproduced >100 kg of U-104067 free base in a singlecampaign.During the course of this work, procedures were alsodevelopedwhich allowed for the bulk preparation of analyticallypure,pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of both of thetitlecompounds.
