Abstract:

Three N,N-dimethylcarbamyl derivatives of oxazepam (1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamyl)oxazepam, 3-O-(N,N-dimethylcarbamyl)oxazepam, and 1,3-O-bis(N,N-dimethylcarbamyl) oxazepam) and a 3-O-acyl-1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamyl)-oxazepam were synthesized from either oxazepam or demoxepam. Enantiomeric pairs of these derivatives and of camazepam were resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography on at least two of three commercially available chiral stationary phase columns employed. Absolute configurations of resolved enantiomers were established by comparing their circular dichroism spectra to those of enantiomeric oxazepams with known absolute stereochemistry. Similar to those of oxazepam, enantiomers of 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamyl)oxazepam undergo rapid racemization (t1/2 1.9 min at 23 degrees C and 0.9 min at 37 degrees C) in an aqueous solution at pH 7.5. The (R)-enantiomer of rac-3-O-acyl-1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamyl)oxazepam was hydrolyzed approximately 4.6-fold faster than the (S)-enantiomer by esterases in rat liver microsomes, whereas the (S)-enantiomer was hydrolyzed approximately 43-fold faster than the (R)-enantiomer by esterases in rat brain S9 fraction.
