A method of combatting, e.g., preventing as well as treating, a disease state such as cystic fibrosis, neonatal hypoxemia, pulmonary hypertension, adult respiratory distress syndrome, psoriasis, spondyloarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, inflammatory bowel disease, myocardial infarctions, and/or osteoporosis in an animal subject, by administering to the animal subject an amount of an organic boron compound which is effective thereagainst. The organic boron compounds usefully employed in the method of the invention include any suitable organic boron-containing compounds, such as Lewis base-boron adducts; a preferred class of organic boron compounds useful in such method includes boron analogs of .alpha.-amino acids, and the corresponding amides and esters of such amino acids. A method is also disclosed of inhibiting enzyme activity in in vitro or in vivo systems comprising administering to such system an enzyme-inhibiting amount of an organic boron compound. Further disclosed is a method of reducing hydroxyproline, calcium, and/or inorganic phosphorous in serum and/or urine of an animal subject, by administering to the animal subject an effective amount of an organic boron compound.

Method of combatting osteoporosis in mammalian subjects, utilizing organic boron compounds

3-n-Butyl-1-isoindolinone and use thereof for preventing or treating cerebral infarction. The compound is prepared by: 1) employing phthalimide as a starting reactant, contacting a nucleophilic Grignard reagent with the original reactant to add an alkyl group to a carbonyl carbon of an amide bond of the original reactant, thus yielding an intermediate; and 2) removing an oxygen atom connected to a third carbon atom of the intermediate in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate as a catalyst and triethylsilane as a reductant.
