Abstract
Blarcamesine is a promising investigational drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The international nonproprietary name blarcamesine refers to a racemic compound, although it seems likely that it will be marketed in an enantiopure form. A resolution process has been described in the literature, but the absolute configurations of the enantiomers have not yet been disclosed. In the present study, crystals of (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-mandelate salts of (+)- and (-)-blarcamesine and also that of (R)-(+)-blarcamesine itself, suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurement were prepared and the absolute configurations of (+)- and (-)-blarcamesine have been determined.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
