Synthesis of 4-Aminosalicylglycine

To search for a better prodrug of 4-aminosalicylic acid that is expected to deliver stably parent drug to colon against the inflammatory bowel disease, a novel 4-aminosalicylic acid derivative was designed and synthesized from 4-aminosalicylic acid. 4-Aminosalicylglycine was prepared from 4-aminosalicylic acid by protecting amino and hydroxyl groups with benzyloxycarbonyl and acetyl, respectively, then the carboxylic acid was converted to acyl chloride which was treated with glycine. After removing the protection groups, 4-aminosalicylglycine wasobtained. All the compounds were characterized by FT-IR, ^1H-NMR, ^13C-NMR spectra. In vivo experiment on rats suggested that the curative effect of 4-aminosalicylglycine was more effective than that of 4-aminosalicylic acid.
