The synthesis and characterization of BMS-204352 (MaxiPost) and related 3-fluorooxindoles as openers of maxi-K potassium channels

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Apr 8;12(7):1023-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00101-4.

Abstract

3-Aryl-3-fluorooxindoles can be efficiently synthesized in two steps by the addition of an aryl Grignard to an isatin, followed by treatment with DAST. Oxindole 1 (BMS-204352; MaxiPost) can be isolated using chiral HPLC or prepared by employing chiral resolution. Cloned maxi-K channels are opened by 1, which demonstrates a brain/plasma ratio >9 in rats.
