PANTOPRAZOLE Synthesis, SAR, MCQ,Structure,Chemical Properties and Therapeutic Uses

Pantoprazole

 

IUPAC nomenclature

(RS)-6-(Difluoromethoxy)-2-[(3,4-dimethoxypyridin-2-yl)methylsulfinyl]-1H-benzo[d]imidazole

Classification

  • Proton pump inhibitors

 

Physiochemical Properties

S. NO. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
1 Molecular weight 383.4 g/mol
2 Physical appearance Off-white solid
3 Melting point 139-140oC
4 Solubility Freely soluble in water
5 Octanol/water partition coefficient 2.05
5 Presence of ring Benzimidazole, pyridine
6 Number of chiral centers Not present

 

 

Mechanism of Action

  • Pantoprazole is a prodrug which requires protonation via an acidic environment to get activated form Sulphenamide.
  • Sulphenamide covalently binds with cystien residues via disulfide bridges on the α subunit of H/K ATPaseenzyme system.
  • Thereby it inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase pump which in turn inhibits the gastric acid secretion or formation of hydrochloric acid in parietal cells

 

Structure Activity Relationship

General structure activity of Heteroaryl- and heterocyclyl-substituted imidazo[1,2-a]Pyridine derivatives acting as acid pump antagonists can be summarized as:

  • The inhibitory property of drugs depends on hydrophobic group substituted at the left side ortho-position of the phenyl ring.
  • Increase in hydrophobic value increases the activity.
  • Increasing the GTCI value decreases the activity.
  • Small molecule substitutions may participate in hydrophobic interaction as well as steric interactions. [1]

 

Method of synthesis

I. Synthesis of 5-(difluoromethoxy)-2-mercaptobenzimidazole:

i. 4-(difluoromethoxy)-aniline is reacted with acetic anhydride to get N-(4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl)acetamide.

ii. It is then treated with HNO3 followed by reaction with NaOH3 in methanol to get N-(4 (difluoromethoxy)phenyl)acetamide.

iii. After hydrogenation and acidification, the desired compound is formed.

II. Synthesis of 2-chloromethyl-3,4-dimethoxy-pyridinium chloride:

i. 4-chloro-3-methoxy-2-methylpyridine-N-oxide reacted with NaOCH3 followed by reaction with acetic anhydride and treatment with sodium hydroxide followed by chlorination to get the desired compound.

III. Synthesis of Pantoprazole:

i. Both the compounds formed in I and II are reacted together to get pantoprazole.  [2]

 

Medicinal Uses

Pantoprazole is used for treatment of:

  • Stomach ulcers
  • Active duodenal ulcers
  • Active benign gastric ulcer
  • GERD
  • Erosive esophagitis
  • Zollinger-Errison syndrome
  • pylori eradication

  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea
  • Constipation
  • Headache
  • Low magnesium blood level
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Muscle spasms
  • Seizures
  • Lupus
