DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0054] Geometric isomers may exist in the compounds of the present invention. Compounds of this invention may contain carbon-carbon double bonds or carbon-nitrogen double bonds in the E or Z configuration, in which the term E represents the higher ranked substituents on opposite sides of a carbon-carbon or carbon-nitrogen double bond and the term Z represents the higher order substituents (determined by the Cahn-Ingold Prelog priority rules) on the same side of a carbon-carbon or carbon-nitrogen double bond. The compounds of this invention may also exist as a mixture of E and Z isomers. The substituents around a cycloalkyl or a heterocycloalkyl are designated as cis- or trans-configuration.

[0055] Compounds of this invention may contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms in the R or S configuration, wherein the terms R and S are as defined in IUPAC 1974 Recommendations for Section E, Fundamental Stereochemistry, Pure Appl. Chem. (1976) 45, 13-10. Compounds having asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms with equal amounts of R and S configurations are racemic at those carbon atoms. Atoms having excess of one configuration over the other are assigned the configuration in excess, preferably an excess of about 85%-90%, more preferably an excess of about 95%-99%, and still more preferably an excess greater than about 99%. Accordingly this invention is meant to embrace racemic mixtures, relative and absolute stereoisomers and the mixtures of relative and absolute stereoisomers.

[0056] Compounds of this invention containing NH, C(O)OH, OH or SH moieties may have attached thereto prodrug-forming moieties. The prodrug-forming moieties are removed through metabolic processes and the compounds having the freed hydroxyl, amino or carboxylic acid will be released in vivo. Prodrugs are useful for adjusting pharmacokinetic properties of the compounds, such as solubility and/or hydrophobicity, absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, bioavailability, tissue penetration, and rate of clearance.

[0057] Prodrugs are derivatives of an active drug, designed to ameliorate some identified, undesirable physical or biological properties. The physical properties are usually related solubility (too much or not enough lipid or aqueous solubility) or stability, while problematic biological properties include too rapid metabolism or poor bioavailability which may be related to a physicochemical property.

[0058] Prodrugs are usually prepared by: a) formation of esters, hemi esters, carbonate esters, nitrate esters, amides, hydroxamic acids, carbamates, imines, Mannich bases, phosphate salts, phosphate esters, and enamines of the active drug, b) functionalizing the drug with azo, glycoside, peptide, and ether functional groups, c) use of aldehydeamines, hemi-aldehydeamines, polymers, salts, complexes, phosphoramides, acetals, hemiacetals, and ketal forms of the drugs. For example, see AndrejusKorolkovas's, Essentials of Medicinal Chemistry, John Wiley-Interscience Publications, John Wiley and Sons, New York (1988), pp. 97-118, which is incorporated in its entirety by reference herein. Esters can be prepared from substrates containing either a hydroxyl group or a carboxy group by general methods known to persons skilled in the art. The typical reactions of these compounds are substitutions replacing one of the heteroatoms by another atom. Amides can be prepared from substrates containing an amino group or a carboxy group in similar fashion. Esters can also react with amines or ammonia to form amides.

Wherein, the definitions of R.sub.1, Z, Q and X were shown in the table below.

Preparation Method:

[0137] Compound III (e.g., 1.5 mmol) and compound II (e.g., 1.5 mmol) were added in isopropyl alcohol (e.g., 30 mL), 1M aqueous sodium bicarbonate (e.g., 1.9 mL) and Pd(PPh.sub.3).sub.4 (e.g., 0.016 mmol) were added and refluxed at 90 C. for 10 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=5:11:1) to give the target compound.

Comparative Example

Preparation of 6-(5-(cyclopropylcarbamoyl)-3-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)-N-neopentylnicotinamide

[0138] ##STR00575##

[0139] Compound III-72 (0.34 g, 1.5 mmol) and compound II (0.479 g, 1.5 mmol) were added in isopropyl alcohol (30 mL), 1M aqueous sodium bicarbonate (1.9 mL) and Pd(PPh.sub.3).sub.4 (19 mg, 0.016 mmol) were added and refluxed at 90 C. for 10 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=5:1) to give the target compound as a white solid (115 mg, 20%).
