The compound (3) synthesized from Nitrobenzaldehyde, tertiary butyl acetoacetate and piperidine can be used as a common intermediate for the production of calcium channel blockers like Nicardipine hydrochloride (1) and Pranidipine hydrochloride (2) with high purity.

The last twenty years have witnessed discoveries of calcium antagonists associated with multicoated pharmacodynamics potential which include not only antihypertensive and antiarrhythmic effects of the drugs but also action against excessive calcium entry in the cell of cardiovascular system and subsequent cell damage. Among many classes of calcium channel blockers, 1,4-dihydropyrimidine based drug molecules represented by Felodipine, Clevidipine, Benidipine, Nicardipine and Pranidipine are by far the best to reduce systemic vascular resistance and arterial pressure.

The reported synthetic approaches however proceed with complicated work ups, laborious purification procedures, highly expensive chemicals and low overall yields. (Scheme-I).

Synthetic scheme of Nicardipine and Pranidipine In view of the draw backs associated with previous synthetic approaches there is a strong need for environmentfriendly high yielding process applicable to the multi-kilogram production of calcium antagonist inhibitors. Herein, we report a scalable synthesis for Nicardipine hydrochloride (1) and Pranidipine hydrochloride (2) in fairly high overall yield using key intermediate 3-nitro benzylidene acid (3).Compound (3) was synthesized in two steps using 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, tertiary butyl acetoacetate and piperidine as a base to furnish tertiary butyl ester derivative (10). This was followed by hydrolysis of (10) in TFA and DCM to furnish compound (3) which would serve as a precursor for synthesis of versatile calcium antagonist inhibitors (Scheme-II).

Reported routes for synthesis of Benidipine,1,2 Lercanadipine,3-6 Nimodipine,7-11 Barnidipine12-14 and Manidipine15-16 were explored in our laboratory which involve reaction of nitro benzaldehyde with tertiary butyl acetoacetate using piperidine as a base to get tertiary butyl ester derivative (10). This is further treated with respective reagents to get various calcium channel blockers as shown in scheme 4. Since reported procedures involve in-situ generation of intermediate (3) and its reaction with corresponding fragments, it results in the formation of by-products which ultimately decrease the yield and increase the cost of API.

A novel process of manufacturing benzylidine acid derivative (3) was developed. Use of this intermediate was demonstrated by synthesis of Nicardipine and Pranidipine. This protocol may be employed for synthesis of other calcium channel blockers. In conclusion, a highly efficient, reproducible and scalable process for the synthesis of calcium channel blockers has been developed using (3) as the key intermediate.
