Racemic 5-phenyl-2-pentanol is resolved via its hemiph- thalate ester, followed by diastereomer salt formation with (+)-brucine, separation of the brucine salt of (S)-5-phenyl-2- pentylhemi-phthalate and recovery of the (S)-alcohol there- from. The (S)-5-phenyl-2-pentanol is a valuable intermediate for organic synthesis. The separated (+)-brucine salt of (S)-5-phenyl-2-pentylhemiphthalate is a novel and useful intermediate. This invention relates to a process for resolution of racemic 5-phenyl-2-pentanol to (S)-5-phenyl-2- pentanol, a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of analgesic agents. More specifically, the process comprises esterifying racemic 5-phenyl-2-pentanol to form the hemiphthalate ester, followed by treating said ester with (+)-brucine, separating (S)-5-phenyl- 2-pentylhemiphthalate(+)-brucine salt, decomposing said salt to regenerate (S)-5-phenyl-2-pentylhemiphthalate, and hydrolyzing said ester to (S)-5-phenyl-2-pentanol.

Brucine, strychnine and isostrychnine revealed significant inhibitory effects against HepG2 cell proliferation, whereas brucine N-oxide didn’t have such an effect. In addition, brucine caused HepG2 cell shrinkage, membrane blebbing, apoptotic body formation, all of which are typical characteristics of apoptotic programmed cell death. The results of flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that brucine caused dose-dependent apoptosis of HepG2 cells through cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase, thus preventing cells entering S or G2/M phase. Immunoblot results revealed that brucine significantly decreased the protein expression level of cyclooxygenase-2, whereas increased the expression caspase-3 as well as the caspase-3-like protease activity in HepG2 cells, suggesting the involvement of cyclooxygenase-2 and caspase-3 in the pro-apoptotic effects exerted by brucine.
