| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, Thalidomide(TD) has attracted attention again because of rediscovery of drug efficacy against some intractable diseases. Previously, we found that α- (2-Carboxybenzamido) glutarimide (CBG), which is a primary hydrolysis product of TD in vivo, slowly changed to TD through dehydration in organic solvents such as acetonitrile. In this study, to comprehend its mechanisms, we investigated the dehydration of CBG under various conditions and examined whether the dehydration occur on phthaloylisoglutamine (PIG) and phthaloylglutamine (PG), which are other primary hydrolysis products of TD. We have concluded that the dehydration of CBG occurred in acetonitrile and ethanol within a range of 20-60 oC, whereas PIG and PG were not dehydrated in the condition described above. Moreover, the kinetics of CBG dehydration suggests that the reaction mechanism was not simple first-order reaction but catalytic reaction which involve both TD and CBG as a catalyst.
