Synthesis of Selective Estrogen Receptor Degrader GDC-0810 via Stereocontrolled Assembly of a Tetrasubstituted All-Carbon Olefin.

We report an efficient synthesis of GDC-0810 on the basis of a sequence involving a highly stereoselective lithium tert-butoxide-mediated enolization-tosylation (≥95:5 E: Z) and a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling as key steps. Global deprotection, pyrrolidine salt formation, and final active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) form control/isolation produced GDC-0810 free acid in a 40% overall yield with >99.0% purity as ascertained by HPLC analysis.

Utilization of TREC and KREC quantification for the monitoring of early T- and B-cell neogenesis in adult patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Background: After hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) T- and B-cell reconstitution from primary lymphoid organs are a prerequisite for an effective early lymphocyte reconstitution and a long-term survival for adult patients suffering from acute leukemia. Here, we asked whether quantification of T cell receptor excision circle, (TREC) and kappa-deleting recombination excision circle (KREC) before and within six month after allogeneic HSCT could be used to measure the thymic and bone marrow outputs in such patients.

Methods: We used a duplex real time PCR assay to quantify the absolute copy counts of TREC and KREC, and correlated the data with absolute cell counts of CD3+CD4+ T-cell and CD19+ B-cell subsets determined by flow cytometry, respectively.
