Three synthetic approaches, suitable for the large scale manufacture of the α2δ-ligand, (3S,5R)-3-(aminomethyl)-5-methyloctanoic acid 3, have been evaluated. The selected seven step manufacturing process has then been optimized and used to deliver over 20 kg of API; salient features of the synthesis include the use of 4,4,4-trimethoxybutyronitrile as an efficient four carbon amino acid equivalent. Highly selective kinetic resolution of the C3 stereocentre was accomplished via diastereoselective hydrolysis of a cyanoester intermediate using Amano Lipase PS-SD. Extensive process optimisation of the route starting from (R)-2-methylpentanol, led to significant improvements through telescoping, with less than 62 kg of solvent being needed to produce 1 kg of API.

The instant invention relates to a combination of an alpha-2-delta ligand and an AChE inhibitor for use in therapy, particularly in the treatment of pain, particularly neuropathic pain. Particularly preferred alpha-2-delta ligands are gabapentin and pregabalin. Particularly preferred ACHE inhibitors are donepezil (Aricept?), tacrine (cognex?), rivastigmine (Exelon?), physostgmine (Synapton?), galantamine (Reminyl), metrifonate (Promem), neostigmine (Prostigmin) and icopezil.
