Synthesis of 2-Methoxy-4-(methylsulfanyl)benzoic Acid — An Intermediate Product in the Preparation of the Cardiotonic Drugs Sulmazole and Isomazole

Readily available 4-methyl-3-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid and 2-methyl-5-nitrophenol were used to develop two alternative approaches to the synthesis of 2-methoxy-4-(methylsulfanyl)benzoic acid in total yields of 17% and 37%, respectively. The synthesis starting from 2-methyl-5-nitrophenol is more process-oriented and can be used in the resynthesis of Sulmazole and Isomazole.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists with phenethylphenylphthalimide skeleton derived from thalidomide-related liver X receptor antagonists: Relationship between absolute configuration and subtype selectivity

Introduction of an alkylcarboxylic acid unit, which is a partial structure of endogenous peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) ligands, into a phenethylphenylphthalimide skeleton, which possesses liver X receptor (LXR) antagonistic activity, afforded novel PPAR ligands. The results of structure-activity relationship analysis and docking studies led us to the potent PPAR agonists 13c-e. The absolute configuration of 13c-e affects the PPAR subtype selectivity.
