Clomacran is an antipsychotic drug of the dihydroacridine class, developed in the 1970s by the pharmaceutical company Smith, Kline & French (now GlaxoSmithKline) under the brand names Devryl and Olaxin.
It was used to treat schizophrenia in the 1970s.{{cite journal | vauthors = Pecknold JC, Ban TA, Lehmann HE, Climan M | title = Clomacran in the treatment of schizophrenic patients: a comparison of two assessment methods | journal = International Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Biopharmacy | volume = 11 | issue = 4 | pages = 299–303 | date = June 1975 | pmid = 1099021 }} It was withdrawn from the market in the UK, due to liver toxicity, in 1982.{{Cite web |title=Clomacran |url= https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/21382 |access-date=2023-08-25 | work = PubChem |language=en | publisher = U.S. National Library of Medicine }}{{Cite book |title=Mann's Pharmacovigilance |date=2014 |publisher=Wiley |isbn=978-0-470-67104-7 | veditors = Andrews EB, Moore N |edition=1st |language=en |doi=10.1002/9781118820186 }}
Synthesis
Clomacran can be synthesized beginning with 2-chloroacridone (1) which is reacted with a Grignard reagent derived from 3-chloro-N,N-dimethylpropylamine (2) to afford the tertiary carbinol (3).Zirkle Charles L, {{US patent|3131190}} (1964 to Smith Kline French Lab).E Anderson & H Graboyes, {{US patent|3781358}} (1973 to SmithKline Beecham Corp).Elvin L Anderson & Harold Graboyes, {{US patent|3692834}} (1972 to Smith Kline and French Laboratories Ltd, GlaxoSmithKline LLC SmithKline Beecham Corp).Elvin L Anderson & Harold Graboyes, {{US patent|3919312}} (1975 to SmithKline Beecham Corp). Dehydration by means of acid or simply heat gives the corresponding olefin (4). Catalytic reduction completes the synthesis of clomacran (5).
