The major metabolite of chloroquine, (+)-desethylchloroquine, produced by stereoselective N-dealkylation of the drug, was obtained in 81.5% enantiomeric purity by resolution of racemic desethylchloroquine using an atropisomeric resolving agent and was shown by circular dichroism to have the absolute (S)-configuration. The minor metabolite N-acetyldesethylchloroquine was prepared in both the racemic and the (S)-(+)-form.
氯喹的主要代谢产物,即通过该药物的立体选择性N-脱烷基化产生的(+)-去乙基氯喹,使用一种阻转异构拆分剂拆分外消旋去乙基氯喹,以81.5%的对映体纯度获得,并通过圆二色性表明其绝对构型为(S)-型。次要代谢产物N-乙酰去乙基氯喹以外消旋体和(S)-(+)-型两种形式制备。
