Properties and Usage:
Medicinal chemistry
(S)-(+)-Epichlorohydrin plays an important role in drug synthesis, especially in the synthesis of chiral drug molecules. Its epoxy group is highly reactive and is particularly suitable for drug synthesis related to metabolism in organisms. It acts as an inhibitor of fatty acid oxidation and has potential as a metabolic modulator for the treatment of certain metabolic diseases.
Anti-tumour agent synthesis
(S)-(+)-Epichlorohydrin is also widely used in the synthesis of antineoplastic agents. It is used for the synthesis of (+)-cis-sylvaticin, a promising anti-tumour molecule. Through chiral modification, dextro epichlorohydrin allows the synthesis of chemical units with excellent biological activity, providing new drug candidates for tumour therapy.
Macquarimicins and macrolide synthesis
Dex epichlorohydrin is important in the total synthesis of Macquarimicins, a natural product with antibacterial activity. It was also used in the chemical total synthesis of the macrolide RK-397, which simplifies the synthesis of complex molecules through its unique reaction properties.
Enantioselective synthesis
(S)-(+)-Epichlorohydrin plays an important role in enantioselective synthesis. It is used in the synthesis of chiral structural units such as hydroxyisoxazolines, which are important in a wide range of drug discovery and the design of biologically active molecules.
