Popis: Raloxifene, also known as Evista®, has recently been approved for the prevention of osteoporosis. Three glucuronidated compounds: raloxifene-6-glucuronide, raloxifene-27-glucuronide, and raloxifene-6,27-diglucuronide are known metabolites of raloxifene in man. Reference standards of the three glucuronides were needed for clinical trials. Although chemical routes exist to make the two mono-glucuronides, these routes were unable to provide material to meet the needs of clinical trial standards. No chemical route existed to synthesize the di-glucuronide. A bioconversion process using the microorganism Streptomyces sp NRRL 21489 was identified and scaled up. The biotranformation products were prepared in a tank fermentation, purified, and characterized by UV, LC/MS and NMR spectroscopy.
