Chemistry:Indolidan

From HandWiki

Indolidan is a small-molecule cardiotonic agent originally developed by Eli Lilly & Co. for the treatment of heart failure.[1][2] Structurally classified as a 2-indolinone derivative, it acts primarily as a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3), thereby enhancing cardiac contractility by increasing intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in cardiac myocytes.[3] Indolidan has been investigated in clinical settings for its potential to improve cardiac output in patients with heart failure, but development has not advanced beyond early-phase clinical trials due to concerns about safety and overall efficacy.[4]

Indolidan belongs to a class or family of chemicals that contain a pyridazinone ring.[5][6] For example, it is structurally related to Levosimendan, pimobendan, siguazodan, zardaverine.

Synthesis

A Friedel–Crafts acylation of 3,3-dimethyloxindole [19155-24-9] (4) with succinic anhydride (5) afforded 5-(3,3-dimethyloxindole)-4-oxobutyric acid, PC13620376 (6). Treatment with hydrazine afforded the pyridazinone ring closure, thus completing the synthesis of indolidan (7) proper.[7][1][8][9]

An alternative way to create 3,3-dimethyloxindole (4) starting material is from N'-phenylisobutyrohydrazide [5461-50-7]. Intramolecular ring closure is made to occur upon heating in calcium hydride.[10]

A radiolabelled synthesis with carbon-14 and deuterium has also been described.[10]
