Chirale Umschaltung (Chiral Switch), ein erfolgreicher Weg zur Entwicklung von Medikamenten: Beispiel Esomeprazol
Publication History
Publication Date:

Zusammenfassung
Etwa 25 % der gebräuchlichen Medikamente liegen als Racemate vor, also als Mischung ihrer optischen oder räumlichen (Stereo-)Isomere (Enantiomere). Häufig unterscheiden sich die Enantiomere hinsichtlich Pharmakokinetik, Pharmakodynamik und Nebenwirkungsprofil. Die Entwicklung von Enantiomeren als Medikament stößt daher auf zunehmendes Interesse von Industrie, Pharmakologen und Klinikern. Seitdem die technologischen Voraussetzungen für Darstellung und Stabilisierung von Enantiomeren in den letzten 10 Jahren geschaffen wurden, schenken auch die Zulassungsbehörden der Chiralität („Händigkeit”) von Medikamenten ihre Aufmerksamkeit, indem sie eine „chirale Umschaltung” („chiral switch”) empfehlen und fördern. Typische, von der Chiralität abhängige Probleme von Medikamenten werden referiert. Abschließend wird der therapeutische Gewinn aufgezeigt, der durch eine chirale Umschaltung von Omeprazol auf sein Enantiomer (S)-Omeprazol („Esomeprazol”) erreicht wurde. Mit Esomeprazol wurde der erste isomere Protonenpumpeninhibitor (iPPI) entwickelt und zur Therapie säureinduzierter Krankheiten eingeführt.
Chiral switch, a successful way to drug development: Example esomeprazole
About 25 % of common drugs are racemates, i. e. mixtures of their optical or spatial isomers (stereoisomers or enantiomers). Frequently the enantiomers differ in their pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug interactions and side effects. Therefore, the pharmaceutical industry, pharmacologists and clinicians are increasingly interested in the development of enantiomers as drugs. Since advances in synthetic and analytical chemistry have provided the tools to produce stereoisomeric drugs, also the authorities recommend and support chiral switch. As example for the therapeutic gain the recent studies with esomeprazole, the first isomeric protonpump inhibitor (iPPI) are summarized and discussed.
