Example 10 Removal The Boc Protecting Group From First Intermediate 12 And Amino Cyclization Provide (+)-Tetrabenazine XVII

[0063] First intermediate 12 (1.0 eq) was dissolved in 10% Me₂S- dichloromethane to provide an 82 mM solution. The solution was cooled to 0 ⁰C and triisopropylsilane (1.1 eq.) followed by TFA (precooled to 0 ⁰C) was added to the reaction mixture to provide a final concentration of 41 mM. The reaction mixture was permitted to stir at 0 ⁰C for 1 h. Following the allotted time the reaction mixture was quenched at 0 ⁰C by the addition of saturated aqueous potassium carbonate solution and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the majority of the dimethylsulfide. The mixture was extracted with five portions of dichloromethane, and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO₄), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the crude product as a yellow solid. The crude product was recrystallized from 3.5% dimethoxyethane in hexanes. The resulting colorless crystals were washed with hexanes to provide pure (+)- tetrabenazine (XVII) 46%: mp 126.0 ⁰C (3.5% DME-hexanes) (a crystal polymorph was observed at 116 ⁰C); [α]²⁶ _D +37.2 (c 0.41, CH₂Cl₂); ¹H NMR (CD₂Cl₂) δ 0.89 (apparent t, J = 7.2 Hz, 6H), 0.98 (ddd, J = 12, 6.0, 4.0 Hz, IH), 1.59-1.68 (m, IH), 1.74 (ddd, J = 12, 5.9, 5.7 Hz, IH), 2.32 (apparent t, J = 11.7 Hz, IH), 2.46 (apparent t, J = 12.3 Hz, IH), 2.55 (ddd, J = 12, 10.0, 3.8 Hz, IH), 2.65-2.73 (m, 2H), 2.83 (dd, J = 5.5, 2.8Hz, IH), 2.97-3.07 (m, IH), 3.07-3.14 (m, IH), 3.25 (dd, J =9.7, 6.3 Hz, IH), 3.47 (apparent d, J = 12Hz, IH), 3.75 (s, 3H), 3.77 (s, 3H), 6.55 (s, IH), 6.60 (s, IH) ¹³C NMR (CD₂Cl₂) δ 21.98, 23.02, 25.51, 29.46, 35.16, 47.47, 47.63, 50.47, 55.87, 56.01, 61.47, 62.46, 108.46, 111.72, 126.37, 128.96, 147.65, 147.98, 209.72; HRMS-(ESI+) calcd for (C₁₉H₂₇NO₃ + H) ([M+H]⁺ 318.2069, found 318.2082.

The drug, orilotimod, was originally developed and launched by Immunotech Developments; however, ApoPharma (a subsidiary of Apotex) is developing orilotimod, presumably a topical formulation, for the treatment of psoriasis. In August 2015, the ApoPharma’s drug was reported to be in phase 2 clinical development.

Thymodepressin is the free diacid having Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number@ of 186087-26-3. U.S. Pat. No. 5,736,519 discloses H-D-iGlu-D-Trp-OH and a process for its preparation wherein it is purified by ion exchange chromatography. It is an immunosuppressant and selectively inhibits proliferation of hemopoietic precursor cells and stimulates granulocyte and lymphocyte apoptosis (Sapuntsova, S. G., et al. (May 2002), Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 133(5), 488-490).

Thymodepressin is currently being sold in Russia as the disodium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan in liquid formulation for injection and intranasal administration for the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. The solid form of the disodium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan is an amorphous powder which is hygroscopic and very difficult to handle. The disodium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan has the molecular formula C16H17N3Na2O5 and  is reported in Kashirin, D. M., et al. (2000), Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal, 34(11), 619-622.

Novel crystalline and amorphous salts of thymodepressin (orilotimod), particularly potassium salt, useful for treating psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Also claims salt exchange method for preparing thymodepressin salts.

hymodepressin is the free diacid having Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number@ of 186087-26-3. U.S. Pat. No. 5,736,519 discloses H-D-iGlu-D-Trp-OH and a process for its preparation wherein it is purified by ion exchange chromatography. It is an immunosuppressant and selectively inhibits proliferation of hemopoietic precursor cells and stimulates granulocyte and lymphocyte apoptosis (Sapuntsova, S. G., et al. (May 2002), Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 133(5), 488-490).

Thymodepressin is currently being sold in Russia as the disodium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan in liquid formulation for injection and intranasal administration for the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. The solid form of the disodium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan is an amorphous powder which is hygroscopic and very difficult to handle. The disodium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan has the molecular formula C16H17N3Na2O5 and which is reported in Kashirin, D. M., et al. (2000), Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal, 34(11), 619-622.

Through investigations in our laboratory, we have determined that the freeze-dried disodium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan is extremely hygroscopic turning into a gel in a matter of minutes in air and cannot easily be handled.

A powdery or amorphous form of a compound, intended for pharmaceutical use may give rise to manufacturing problems due to bulk density issues, hygroscopicity and variable water content that cannot be corrected by vacuum drying. D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan is a dipeptide and the drying of an amorphous form at elevated temperature, for example, 80-100° C. under vacuum is not recommended. Thus, there are serious difficulties experienced during the purification of the disodium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan and obtaining the pure disodium salt on a manufacturing scale. Further, there is no published procedure for its preparation.

The monosodium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan is identified by the CAS Registry System and is listed in the CAS REGISTRYSM File with a CAS Registry Number@ of 863988-88-9. However, there are no references citing the substance and thus no publication of its identity, its physical and/or chemical properties, its characterization or a procedure for its preparation. Freeze-dried powders of mono sodium and disodium salts of peptide drugs may not have controllable powder bulk density ranges for formulation. They may require significant investment in freeze-dried dispersion technology.

Example 1

Preparation of potassium salt of D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan (1:1) from D-isoglutamyl-D-tryptophan and potassium hydroxide

In a 100-mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar was placed 5 mL of potassium hydroxide solution (0.5 N). The solution was cooled to 0° C. in an ice-water bath, and solid H-D-iGlu-D-Trp-OH (1.00 g, 3 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred while the pH of the solution was adjusted to ca. 6.0 by adding a few drops of potassium hydroxide solution (0.5 N). The solution was filtered to remove any solid particulates. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness at a bath temperature of about 30° C. to afford a solid. After drying under vacuum at room temperature for overnight, the salt was obtained in quantitative yield, with a HPLC purity (peak area percent) of 98.3%.

Filgotinib (GLPG0634), by the Belgian biotech company Galápagos NV, is a drug which is currently under investigation for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn’s disease.

Filgotinib (GLPG0634) is an orally-available, selective inhibitor of JAK1 (Janus kinase 1) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and potentially other inflammatory diseases. Filgotinib (GLPG0634) dose-dependently inhibited Th1 and Th2 differentiation and to a lesser extent the differentiation of Th17 cells in vitro. GLPG0634 was well exposed in rodents upon oral dosing, and exposure levels correlated with repression of Mx2 expression in leukocytes. The JAK1 selective inhibitor GLPG0634 (Filgotinib) is a promising novel therapeutic with potential for oral treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and possibly other immune-inflammatory diseases. Filgotinib (GLPG0634) is currently in a Phase 2 study in Crohn’s disease.

3D

Mechanism of action

Filgotinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor with selectivity for subtype JAK1 of this enzyme. It is considered a promising agent as it inhibits JAK1 selectively. Less selective JAK inhibitors (e.g. tofacitinib) are already being marketed. They show long-term efficacy in the treatment of various inflammatory diseases. However, their lack of selectivity leads to dose-limiting side effects.^[1] It is thought that inhibition of all JAK isoenzymes is beneficial in rheumatoid arthritis. However, pan-JAK inhibition might also lead to unwanted side effects that might not outweigh its benefits. This is the rationale for the development of newer and more selective inhibitors like filgotinib.

The signal transmission of large numbers of proinflammatory cytokines is dependent on JAK1. Inhibition of JAK2 may also contribute to the efficacy against RA. Nonetheless it is thought that JAK2 inhibition might lead to anemia and thrombopenia by interference witherythropoietin and thrombopoietin and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Therefore one might prefer to choose a more selective JAK1 inhibitor as a primary therapeutic option. Filgotinib exerts a 30-fold selectivity for JAK1 compared to JAK2.^[2] It is however still to be seen to what extent JAK2 inhibition should be avoided.

Novel crystalline forms of filgotinib salts, particularly hydrochloride salt, useful for treating JAK-mediated diseases eg inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, proliferative diseases, allergy and transplant rejection.  Galapagos and licensee AbbVie are developing filgotinib, a selective JAK-1 inhibitor, for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Crohn’s disease (CD). In August 2015, the drug was reported to be in phase 2 clinical development for treating RA and CD. The drug is also being investigated for the treatment of colitis and was discovered as part of the company’s arthritis alliance with GSK; however in August 2010 Galapagos reacquired the full rights. See WO2013189771, claiming use of filgotinib analog for treating inflammatory diseases. Also see WO2010010190 (co-assigned with GSK and Abbott) and WO2010149769 (assigned to Galapagos) claiming filgotinib, generically and specifically, respectively.

Clinical trials and approval

The efficacy of filgotinib is currently studied in a phase2b program (DARWIN trial 1, 2) with involvement of 886 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 180 Crohn’s disease patients.

Phase 1 study

It was shown in phase 1 studies that the pharmacokinetics of filgotinib metabolism is independent of hepatic CYP450 enzymatic degradation. The drug metabolism is however mediated by carboxylesterases. There is no interference reported with the metabolism of methotrexate nor with any of the investigated transport proteins.^[3]

Phase 2 study: Proof of concept (2011)

In november 2011 Galápagos released the results of their phase 2 study (identification: NCT01384422, Eudract: 2010-022953-40) in which 36 patients were treated who showed a suboptimal clinical response to methotrexate treatment. Three groups of twelve patients were treated either with 200 mg filgotinib in a single dose, 200 mg divided in two doses or placebo. The primary end-point was the ACR20 score, which monitors improvements in the symptomatology of the patient. After the scheduled 4 weeks of treatment, 83% of the respondents showed an improved ACR20-score. Half of the treated patients showed a complete (or near complete) remission of the disease. There were no reports ofanemia nor changes in lipidemia. The company stated in their press release that filgotinib is the first selective JAK1 inhibitor that shows clinical efficacy. As a result of this study, the company stated that “GLPG0634 shows one of the highest initial response rates ever reported for rheumatoid arthritis treatments”.^[4]

DARWIN 1 trial

The DARWIN 1 trial is a 24 week double blind placebo-controlled trial with 599 rheumatoid arthritis patients enrolled. All participants have moderate to severe RA and showed an insufficient response to standard methotrexate treatment. The trial compares three dosages of filgotinib as a once or twice per day regimen. During the trial all participants remain on their methotrexate treatment. According to the company, the results of this trial are expected in July 2015.^[5]

DARWIN 2 trial

The DARWIN 2 trial is a double blind placebo-controlled trial with 280 rheumatoid arthritis patients enrolled who show an insufficient response to standard methotrexate treatment. This trial, in contrast to the previous DARWIN 1 trial, methotrexate is discontinued. Therefore, this trial investigates filgotinib as a monotherapy.^[6] The recruitment of DARWIN trial 2b ended in november 2014.^[7] Preliminary results are expected in the second quarter of 2015 and a full completion of the study is expected in the third quarter of 2015.

DARWIN 3 trial

Patients who complete DARWIN 1 and 2 will be eligible for DARWIN 3.

1.1.3 General Procedure for Mono-Acylation to Afford Intermediate (4)

To a solution of the 2-amino-triazolopyridine (3) (7.10 g, 33.3 mmol) in dry CH₃CN (150 mL) at 5° C. is added Et₃N (11.6 mL, 83.3 mmol) followed by cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride (83.3 mmol). The reaction mixture is then allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred until all starting material (3) is consumed. If required, further Et₃N (4.64 mL, 33.3 mmol) and cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride (33.3 mmol) is added to ensure complete reaction. Following solvent evaporation in vacuo the resultant residue is treated with 7 N methanolic ammonia solution (50 mL) and stirred at ambient temp. (for 1-16 h) to hydrolyse any bis-acylated product. Product isolation is made by removal of volatiles in vacuo followed by trituration with Et₂O (50 mL). The solids are collected by filtration, washed with H₂O (2×50 mL), acetone (50 mL) and Et₂O (50 mL), then dried in vacuo to give the required bromo intermediate (4).

FDA approves first treatment for sexual desire disorder
Addyi approved to treat premenopausal women

SEE FULL SYNTHESIS …CLICK HERE

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved  to treat acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women. Prior to Addyi’s approval, there were no FDA-approved treatments for sexual desire disorders in men or women.

http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm458734.htm?source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Addyi (flibanserin) to treat acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women. Prior to Addyi’s approval, there were no FDA-approved treatments for sexual desire disorders in men or women.

“Today’s approval provides women distressed by their low sexual desire with an approved treatment option,” said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). “The FDA strives to protect and advance the health of women, and we are committed to supporting the development of safe and effective treatments for female sexual dysfunction.”

HSDD is characterized by low sexual desire that causes marked distress or interpersonal difficulty and is not due to a co-existing medical or psychiatric condition, problems within the relationship, or the effects of a medication or other drug substance. HSDD is acquired when it develops in a patient who previously had no problems with sexual desire. HSDD is generalized when it occurs regardless of the type of sexual activity, the situation or the sexual partner.

“Because of a potentially serious interaction with alcohol, treatment with Addyi will only be available through certified health care professionals and certified pharmacies,” continued Dr. Woodcock. “Patients and prescribers should fully understand the risks associated with the use of Addyi before considering treatment.”

Addyi can cause severely low blood pressure (hypotension) and loss of consciousness (syncope). These risks are increased and more severe when patients drink alcohol or take Addyi with certain medicines (known as moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors) that interfere with the breakdown of Addyi in the body. Because of the alcohol interaction, the use of alcohol is contraindicated while taking Addyi. Health care professionals must assess the likelihood of the patient reliably abstaining from alcohol before prescribing Addyi.

Addyi is being approved with a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS), which includes elements to assure safe use (ETASU). The FDA is requiring this REMS because of the increased risk of severe hypotension and syncope due to the interaction between Addyi and alcohol. The REMS requires that prescribers be certified with the REMS program by enrolling and completing training. Certified prescribers must counsel patients using a Patient-Provider Agreement Form about the increased risk of severe hypotension and syncope and about the importance of not drinking alcohol during treatment with Addyi. Additionally, pharmacies must be certified with the REMS program by enrolling and completing training. Certified pharmacies must only dispense Addyi to patients with a prescription from a certified prescriber. Additionally, pharmacists must counsel patients prior to dispensing not to drink alcohol during treatment with Addyi.

Addyi is also being approved with a Boxed Warning to highlight the risks of severe hypotension and syncope in patients who drink alcohol during treatment with Addyi, in those who also use moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, and in those who have liver impairment. Addyi is contraindicated in these patients. In addition, the FDA is requiring the company that owns Addyi to conduct three well-designed studies in women to better understand the known serious risks of the interaction between Addyi and alcohol.

Addyi is a serotonin 1A receptor agonist and a serotonin 2A receptor antagonist, but the mechanism by which the drug improves sexual desire and related distress is not known. Addyi is taken once daily. It is dosed at bedtime to help decrease the risk of adverse events occurring due to possible hypotension, syncope and central nervous system depression (such as sleepiness and sedation). Patients should discontinue treatment after eight weeks if they do not report an improvement in sexual desire and associated distress.

The effectiveness of the 100 mg bedtime dose of Addyi was evaluated in three 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in about 2,400 premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD. The average age of the trial participants was 36 years, with an average duration of HSDD of approximately five years. In these trials, women counted the number of satisfying sexual events, reported sexual desire over the preceding four weeks (scored on a range of 1.2 to 6.0) and reported distress related to low sexual desire (on a range of 0 to 4). On average, treatment with Addyi increased the number of satisfying sexual events by 0.5 to one additional event per month over placebo increased the sexual desire score by 0.3 to 0.4 over placebo, and decreased the distress score related to sexual desire by 0.3 to 0.4 over placebo. Additional analyses explored whether the improvements with Addyi were meaningful to patients, taking into account the effects of treatment seen among those patients who reported feeling much improved or very much improved overall. Across the three trials, about 10 percent more Addyi-treated patients than placebo-treated patients reported meaningful improvements in satisfying sexual events, sexual desire or distress. Addyi has not been shown to enhance sexual performance.

The 100 mg bedtime dose of Addyi has been administered to about 3,000 generally healthy premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD in clinical trials, of whom about 1,700 received treatment for at least six months and 850 received treatment for at least one year.

The most common adverse reactions associated with the use of Addyi are dizziness, somnolence (sleepiness), nausea, fatigue, insomnia and dry mouth.

The FDA has recognized for some time the challenges involved in developing treatments for female sexual dysfunction. The FDA held a public Patient-Focused Drug Development meeting and scientific workshop on female sexual dysfunction on October 27 and October 28, 2014, to solicit perspectives directly from patients about their condition and its impact on daily life, and to discuss the scientific challenges related to developing drugs to treat these disorders. The FDA continues to encourage drug development in this area.

Consumers and health care professionals are encouraged to report adverse reactions from the use of Addyi to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program at www.fda.gov/MedWatch or by calling 1-800-FDA-1088.

Addyi is marketed by Sprout Pharmaceuticals, based in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Gamendazole is a novel drug candidate for male contraception. It is an indazole carboxylic acid derived from lonidamine (LND). Gamendazole produced 100% antispermatogenic effects at 25 mg/kg i.p. in rats, whereas 200 mg/kg was fatal for 60% of rats tested. Since gamendazole produced 100% efficacy, it was tested orally. At a dose of 6 mg/kg, 100% of rats were infertile 4 weeks after a single administration. Complete infertility was maintained for 2 weeks, followed by complete recovery in 4 of 7 rats. The other 3 never recovered fertility. Upon dosing 6 mg/kg orally for 7 days, it produced similar infertility results, but only 2 of 7 rats recovered fertility. There were no abnormalities in rates of conception or abnormal conception in rats who recovered fertility.

Pathology reports were conducted on gamendazole treated rats. At 25 mg/kg i.p., 6 mg/kg oral, and in animals that survived 200 mg/kg i.p., there were no remarkable findings, with no evidence of inflammation, necrosis, tumors, or hemorrhage. There was also a lack of observable behavioral effects at 25 mg/kg i.p., 6 mg/kg oral, and in animals that survived 200 mg/kg i.p. Gamendazole treatment had no effect on testosterone levels, and was reported to affect Sertoli cell function, leading to decreased levels of inhibin B. Low levels of inhibin B were correlated to the infertility of the rat

Female oral contraceptive drugs are widely available in the market by several trade names, including Altravera, Brevicon, Levora, and i-pill, whereas potentially safer, more convenient, and more effective oral male contraceptives are not yet commercially available. However, there are some experimental drugs.AF-2785 1, gamendazole 2, lonidamine 3, and adjudin 4 are most promising among the experimental

Gamendazole was recently identified as an orally active antispermatogenic compound with antifertility effects. The cellular mechanism(s) through which these effects occur and the molecular target(s) of gamendazole action are currently unknown. Gamendazole was recently designed as a potent orally active antispermatogenic male contraceptive agent. Here, we report the identification of binding targets and propose a testable mechanism of action for this antispermatogenic agent. Both HSP90AB1 (previously known as HSP90beta [heat shock 90-kDa protein 1, beta]) and EEF1A1 (previously known as eEF1A [eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1]) were identified as binding targets by biotinylated gamendazole (BT-GMZ) affinity purification from testis, Sertoli cells, and ID8 ovarian cancer cells; identification was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry and Western blot analysis. BT-GMZ bound to purified yeast HSP82 (homologue to mammalian HSP90AB1) and EEF1A1, but not to TEF3 or HBS1, and was competed by unlabeled gamendazole. However, gamendazole did not inhibit nucleotide binding by EEF1A1.

Gamendazole binding to purified Saccharomyces cerevisiae HSP82 inhibited luciferase refolding and was not competed by the HSP90 drugs geldanamycin or novobiocin analogue, KU-1. Gamendazole elicited degradation of the HSP90-dependent client proteins AKT1 and ERBB2 and had an antiproliferative effect in MCF-7 cells without inducing HSP90. These data suggest that gamendazole may represent a new class of selective HSP90AB1 and EEF1A1 inhibitors. Testis gene microarray analysis from gamendazole-treated rats showed a marked, rapid increase in three interleukin 1 genes and Nfkbia (NF-kappaB inhibitor alpha) 4 h after oral administration. A spike in II1a transcription was confirmed by RT-PCR in primary Sertoli cells 60 min after exposure to 100 nM gamendazole, demonstrating that Sertoli cells are a target. AKT1, NFKB, and interleukin 1 are known regulators of the Sertoli cell-spermatid junctional complexes. A current model for gamendazole action posits that this pathway links interaction with HSP90AB1 and EEF1A1 to the loss of spermatids and resulting infertility.

EXAMPLE 2: Synthesis of a-ll-fl^-dichlorobenzyn-ό-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazol-S-yll-acrylic acid (RC-MC-110)

Step 1 : 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-malonic acid dimethyl ester.

 

Dimethyl malonate (59.7 g, 0.44 mol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of potassium tert-butoxide (51 g, 0.44 mol) in dry t-butanol (500 mL). To the resultant suspension, a warm solution of 2-chloro-5-trifluoromethylnitrobenzene (50 g, 0.22 mol) in t-butanol (100 mL) was added and the mixture was refluxed for 6 h (reaction monitored by TLC). After completion of the reaction, most of the t-butanol was distilled off under vacuum, and chilled water was then added to the reaction mixture. The pH was adjusted to neutral with dilute hydrochloric acid, which resulted in the precipitation of the product. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and the product was filtered off (68 g, 95%). This material was used without further purification in the next step. A small amount was crystallized (EtOAc/hexane, 4:6) for analysis, to yield a yellow crystalline material, mp 65-67 ⁰C. ¹H NMR (CDCl₃) 8.30 (s, 1 H), 7.92 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.69 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 5.37 (s, 1 H), 3.80 (s, 6 H). MS (FAB) m/z: 322.1 (M⁺ + 1).

Step 2: (2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester.

 

2-(2-Nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-malonic acid dimethyl ester (68 g, 0.21 mol) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (200 mL). Sodium chloride (34 g, 0.58 mol) and water (60 mL) were added and the mixture was stirred for 16-20 h at 120 ⁰C (reaction monitored by TLC). The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and quenched into water, which caused precipitation of the product. After stirring for 30 minutes, the product (45 g, 80%) was isolated by filtration. The product was used without further purification in the next reaction. A small sample was crystallized (EtOAc/hexane, 2:8) for analysis, to yield yellow crystals, mp 104-105 ⁰C. ¹H

NMR (CDCl₃) 8.3 (s, 1 H), 7.88 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.50 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 4.12 (s, 2 H), 3.60 (s, 3 H). MS (FAB) m/z: 275.2 (M⁺ + 1).

Step 3: (2-Acetylamino-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester.

 

Hydrogenation and acetylation of (2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester (25 g, 0.095 mol) in the presence of 5% Pd-C (2.5 g, 50% wet) and acetic anhydride (38 g, 0.37 mol) in toluene (200 mL) was carried out under vigorous stirring at room temperature and atmospheric pressure for about 4-5 h (reaction monitored by TLC). The catalyst was removed by filtration and washed with toluene two times. The combined organics were evaporated in vacuo to yield the product (24.8 g, 95%), which was used without further purification in the next step. A small sample was crystallized from hexane to yield the product as a yellow solid, mp 92-94 ⁰C. H NMR (CDCl₃) 8.86 (s, 1 H), 8.21 (s, 1 H), 7.36 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.31 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1 H), 3.74 (s, 3 H), 3.68 (s, 2 H), 2.23 (s, 3 H). Step 4: ό-Trifluoromethyl-lH-indazole^-carboxylic acid methyl ester.

To a solution of (2-acetylamino-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester (16 g, 0.058 mol) in acetic acid (50 mL) was added dropwise t-butyl nitrite (90%) (7.35 g, 0.063 mol) over a period of 20 min. at 90-95 ⁰C. The mixture was then stirred for 0.5 h at 95 ⁰C, poured into cold water and stirred for 1 h. The precipitates were collected by filtration and washed with water. The crude material was dissolved in ethyl acetate and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed in vacuo. This material (13.4 g, 95%) was used without further purification in the next step. A small sample was crystallized from ethyl acetate to yield a white solid, mp 240-242 ⁰C. H NMR (DMSO-d-6) 8.25 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1 H), 8.04 (s, 1 H), 7.58 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1 H), 3.95 (s, 3 H). MS (FAB) m/z: 245.1 (M⁺ + 1).

Step 5: l-(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester.

 

ό-Trifluoromethyl-lH-indazole-S-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2.75 g, 0.0112 mol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (50 mL), and potassium carbonate (1O g, 0.07 mol), 2,4-dichlorobenzyl chloride (2.42 g, 0.01239 mol) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (catalytic) were added. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux and refluxed for 2 h under good stirring. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, potassium carbonate was filtered while hot and then washed with acetone. The combined solvents were distilled off under reduced pressure to afford the crude mixture of Nl and N2 benzylated products. The isomers were separated by column chromatography (silica gel, eluent started with hexane then changed to 8:2 hexane, ethyl acetate). l-(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester. Yield: 3.62 g (80%), white crystals mp 118-120 ⁰C. ‘ H NMR (CDCl₃) 8.39 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1 H) 7.74 (s, 1 H), 7.57 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.45 (d, J = 2.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.12 (dd, J = 8.4 and 2.1 Hz, 1 H), 6.78 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 5.82 (s, 2 H), 4.07 (s, 3 H). MS (FAB) m/z: 403 (M⁺ + 1).Z-^^-DichlorobenzylJ-δ-trifluoromethyl-ZH-indazole-S-carboxylic acid methyl ester. Yield: 680 mg (15%), white crystals mp 132-134 ⁰C. ‘ H NMR (DMSO-d-6) 8.27 (s, 1 H), 8.20 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 1 H), 7.76 (d, J = 1.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.57 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 1 H), 7.30 (dd, J = 8.3 and 1.8 Hz, 1 H), 6.78 (d, J = 8.3 Hz, 1 H), 6.17 (s, 2 H), 3.96 (s, 3 H).

Step 6: [l-(2.4-Difluorobenzyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazol-3-yl1-methanol.

 

l -(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3.0 g, 0.0075 mol) dissolved in CH₂Cl₂(50 mL) was cooled to -78 ⁰C. DIBAL-H (8.18 mL, 0.00818 mol) was added slowly dropwise via a syringe under an argon blanket over a period of 15 minutes. After the complete addition of DIBAL-H, the reaction mixture was stirred at -78°C for another 2 h (reaction monitored by TLC). The reaction was quenched carefully with methanol at -78 ⁰C. The reaction mixture was then carefully poured into water and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate. Removal of the solvent yielded the crude alcohol (2.6 g, 93%), which was used without purification in the next step. The alcohol was a white solid, mp 137-139 ⁰C. ¹H NMR (CDCl₃) 7.97 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 7.66 (s, 1 H), 7.44 (d, J = 2.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.42 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.12 (dd, J = 8.3 and 2.0 Hz, 1 H), 6.93 (d, J = 8.3 Hz, 1 H), 5.65 (s, 2 H), 5.09 (s, 2 H). MS (FAB) m/z: 375 (M⁺ + 1).Step 7: l-(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazole-3-carbaldehvde.

 

[l-(2,4-Difluorobenzyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazol-3-yl]-methanol (3.75 g, 0.01 mol) was dissolved in CH₂Cl₂ (100 mL) and manganese(IV)oxide (8.7 g, 0.1 mol) was added and stirred for 2-3 h at room temperature (reaction monitored by TLC). The solids were removed by filtration and the removal of the CH₂Cl₂ in vacuo yielded the crude aldehyde. The aldehyde was used without further purification in the next step. The aldehyde (3.54 g, 95%) was a white solid, mp 97-98 ⁰C. ¹H NMR (CDCl₃) 10.25 (s, 1 H), 8.45 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.79 (s, 1 H), 7.60 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.48 (d, J = 2.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.20 (dd, J = 8.3 Hz and 2.0 Hz, 1 H), 6.93 (d, J = 8.3 Hz, 1 H), 5.79 (s, 2 H). MS (FAB) m/z: 373 (M⁺ + 1).

Step 8: 3-ri-(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazol-3-yll-acrylic acid ethyl ester.

 

l-(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl)-6-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazole-3-carbaldehyde (2.0 g, 0.00536 mol) was dissolved in CH₂Cl₂ (50 niL) and Wittig reagent (carbethoxymethylene) triphenylphosphorane (1.06 g, 0.0536 mol) was added to the solution. The homogeneous reaction mixture was heated to reflux in an oil bath for 12 h. The reaction progress was monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and worked up by quenching into water and separating the organic layer. Removal of the CH₂Cl₂ yielded the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography to yield the pure product (2.25 g, 95%) as a white solid, mp 186-188 ⁰C. ¹H NMR (CDCl₃) 8.08 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.99 (d, J = 16.2 Hz, 1 H), 7.74 (s, 1 H), 7.52 (d, J = 8.5 Hz, 1 H), 7.47 (d, J = 2.0 Hz, 1 H), 7.16 (dd, J = 8.3 and 2.0 Hz, 1 H), 6.84 (d, J = 8.3 Hz, 1 H), 6.82 (d, J = 16.2 Hz, 1 H), 5.72 (s, 2 H), 4.32 (q, J = 7.1 Hz, 2 H), 1.38 (t, J = 7.1 Hz, 3 H). MS (FAB) m/z: 443 (M⁺ + 1).It will be appreciated that the acrylic acid ethyl ester can be hydrogenated using 5% Pd-C in the presence of methanol, DCM at RT and 1 atm-pressure to give the propionic acid ester derivative. For example, treatment under such conditions yields 3-[l-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-6- trifluoromethyl-lH-indazol-3-yl]-propionic acid ethyl ester (JWS-2-70).

Step 9: l-(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl^‘)-3-r6-trifluoromethyl-lΗ-indazol-3-yll-acrvlic acid.

 

l-(2,4-Dichlorobenzyl)-3-[6-trifluoromethyl-lH-indazol-3-yl]-acrylic acid ethyl ester (2.0 g, 0.0045 mol) was dissolved in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) and methanol (25 mL). A lithium hydroxide solution (0.33 g, 0.013 mol lithium hydroxide in 7.5 mL water) was added slowly at room temperature under good stirring. The reaction mixture was then warmed to 40 ⁰C and held at that temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate in order to remove neutral impurities. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was cooled to 0 ⁰C and then acidified with 20% sulfuric acid to pH 2. White solids precipitated and were filtered and dried to constant weight. The crude product was recrystallized from ethyl acetate and hexane (1 :1) to afford the pure product (1.68 g, 90%) as a white solid,

mp 186-188 ⁰C.

Avatrombopag, also known as AKR-501, YM477, AS 1670542 or E5501, is a novel orally-active thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist. AKR-501 specifically targeted the TPO receptor and stimulated megakaryocytopoiesis throughout the development and maturation of megakaryocytes just as rhTPO did. Daily oral administration of AKR-501 dose-dependently increased the number of human platelets in these mice, with significance achieved at doses of 1 mg/kg and above. The peak unbound plasma concentrations of AKR-501 after administration at 1 mg/kg in NOD/SCID mice were similar to those observed following administration of an active oral dose in human subjects.  AKR-501 may be useful in the treatment of patients with thrombocytopenia. (source: Eur J Haematol. 2009 Apr;82(4):247-54).

Avatrombopag is a thrombopoietin receptor (c-Mpl) agonist in phase III clinical evaluation at Eisai for the oral treatment of chronic immune thrombocytopenia (idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura) and for the treatment of thrombocytopenia associated with liver diseases. Phase II studies are ongoing for the treatment of thrombocytopenia during antiviral therapy (inhibition and maintenance) with Interferon for hepatitis C.

The drug candidate may hold potential in treating thrombocytopenia of diverse etiologies, including idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and thrombocytopenia of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), in combination with or as a substitute for platelet transfusion.

AKR-501, a novel, small-molecule thrombopoietin mimetic being investigated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia. AkaRx is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eisai Inc. and Eisai has the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, market and manufacture AKR-501. AKR-501 is an investigational thrombopoietin receptor agonist that, based on preclinical studies, increases platelet production by stimulating megakaryocytic proliferation and differentiation. Eisai is currently conducting Phase II clinical trials of AKR-501 in the United States as a potential treatment for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and thrombocytopenia associated with liver diseases (TLD), and has confirmed proof of concept in the clinical studies for ITP. In addition, Eisai will explore the compound’s potential as a treatment for chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT).

E-5501 stimulates the production of thrombopoietin (TPO), a glycoprotein hormone that stimulates the production and differentiation of megakaryocytes, the bone marrow cells that fragment into large numbers of platelets. The drug candidate was originally developed at Yamanouchi, and development responsibilities were passed to AkaRx when it was formed in 2005 as a spin-off following the creation of Astellas Pharma subsequent to the merger of Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical and Fujisawa Healthcare.

In 2007, MGI Pharma was granted a license to E-5501 for the treatment of thrombocytopenia. Eisai eventually gained the rights to the product as results of its acquisition of MGI Pharma. In 2010, Eisai acquired AkaRx. AkaRx is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eisai Inc. and Eisai has the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, market and manufacture E-5501. In 2011, orphan drug designation was assigned by the FDA for the treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

E5501 (or AKR-501 or YM477) is a small molecule agonist c-Mpl, orally available. It is in clinical trials for the treatment of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). It acts as an agonist of the thrombopoietin receptor active orally, mimicking its biological effect. Thrombocytopenic purpura The is the idiopathic consequence of a low number of platelets (thrombocytopenia) of unknown cause. A very low platelets can even lead to purpura (bruises), or bleeding diathesis.

February 2012: A Phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled against placebo, parallel group, with an open-label extension phase to assess the efficacy and safety of combined oral E5501 to standard treatment for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia, is underway.

January 2010: Eisai Inc. announced its successful acquisition of the biopharmaceutical company, AkaRx Inc. Following this acquisition, AkaRx became a wholly owned subsidiary of Eisai Inc. Eisai now owns the worldwide exclusive rights to develop , marketing and manufacture AKR-501.

October 2009: Eisai Research Institute of Boston, Inc. (established in 1987) and Eisai Medical Research Inc. (established in 2002) were merged into Eisai Inc. 2005: AkaRx was founded as a spin-out of the merger of Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. and Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. to form Astellas Pharma Inc. AKR-501 was discovered by Yamanouchi and was licensed to AkaRx as part of the foundation of the company in 2005.

In a Phase I trial in healthy volunteers, 10 mg of AKR-501 for 14 days, increased platelet count by 50%.AKR-501 was well tolerated in both studies, mono- and multi-dose. No adverse effects were reported, even at the highest doses.

1-(3-chloro-5-{[4-(4-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-5-(4-cyclohexylpiperazin-1-yl)thiazol-2-yl]carbamoyl}pyridin-2-yl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid as expressed by the following chemical formula (hereinafter referred to as “Compound X”) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts are known to have excellent thrombocytosis effects (patent literature 1, patent literature 2).

[Formula 1]

Patent literature 1 discloses a hydrochloride of compound X as example 16 (hereinafter referred to as “compound X hydrochloride”).

Furthermore, patent literature 2 discloses a maleic acid salt of compound X that has endothermic peaks near 198 degree C and 271 degree C in thermo gravimetric analysis (hereinafter referred to as “maleic acid salt of compound X”). However, patent literature 2 neither discloses nor suggests that the maleic acid salt of compound X exhibits crystal polymorphism.

On the other hand, compounds exhibiting crystal polymorphism demonstrate entirely different effects regardless of being the same compound, because various physical properties including physicochemical properties differ depending on the crystalline form. In pharmaceutical products in particular, if compounds that have different functional effects are expected to have the same effect, a different functional effect than expected will occur, which is thought to induce unexpected circumstances, and therefore there is demand for supply of a drug substance with constant quality. Therefore, when a compound which has crystal polymorphism is used as a medicine, one type of crystal of that compound must always be constantly provided in order to ensure constant quality and constant effects that are required of the medicine.

Under the aforementioned conditions, from the perspective of supplying a drug substance for medicines, there is a need for compound X or crystals of pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which can ensure constant quality and constant effects and which can be stably supplied in mass production such as industrial production or the like, as well as for establishment of a manufacturing method thereof.

The crystals of compound X maleic acid salt disclosed in patent literature 2 (hereinafter referred to as “compound X maleic acid salt A type crystals”) cannot be isolated as compound X maleic acid salt A type crystals when scaled up for mass production using the method disclosed in example 1 of patent literature 2, and therefore must be isolated in a different crystal form. (This other crystal form is referred to as “compound X maleic acid salt B type crystals”). Therefore, the compound X maleic acid salt A type crystals have a possibility that the crystal form will morph depending on the scale of production, and is clearly inappropriate as a drug substance for medicines which require constant quality and constant effects.

Preparation Example 1: Manufacture of Compound X Maleic Acid Salt B Type Crystal
310 mL of a 1 M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide at room temperature was added to a mixture of 70.0 g of the ethyl ester of 1-(3-chloro-5-{[4-(4-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-5-(4-cyclohexyl piperazin-1-yl) thiazol-2-yl] carbamoyl} pyridin-2-yl) piperidine-4-carboxylic acid and 1.2 L of ethanol, the insoluble matter was filtered out, and then washed with 200 mL of ethanol.

6.84 g of maleic acid was added to 231 g of the crude product containing the crude product obtained above and those manufactured in a similar manner, dissolved in 5.5 L of 80% ethanol water, and then the precipitated solid was collected by filtering to obtain 203 g of 1-(3-chloro-5-{[4-(4-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-5-(4-cyclohexyl piperazin-1-yl) thiazol-2-yl] carbamoyl} pyridin-2-yl) piperidine-4-carboxylic acid maleic acid salt.

Example 1: Manufacture of Compound X Maleic Acid Salt C Type Crystals (1)
1.52 L of ethanol, 0.38 L of water, and 15.7 g of maleic acid were added to 78.59 g of 1-(3-chloro-5-{[4-(4-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-5-(4-cyclohexyl piperazin-1-yl) thiazol-2-yl] carbamoyl} pyridin-2-yl) piperidine-4-carboxylic acid, and heated while stirring. After cooling to room temperature and further cooling with ice, the precipitated solid was collected by filtering to obtain 71.60 g of 1-(3-chloro-5-{[4-(4-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-5-(4-cyclohexyl piperazin-1-yl) thiazol-2-yl] carbamoyl} pyridin-2-yl) piperidine-4-carboxylic acid maleic acid salt as a crude product.

296 mg of maleic acid was added to 10.0 g of the crude product obtained, dissolved in 60 mL of acetone, 60 mL of DMSO, and 30 mL of water, and then the precipitated solids were collected to obtain 8.41 g of 1-(3-chloro-5-{[4-(4-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-5-(4-cyclohexyl piperazin-1-yl) thiazol-2-yl] carbamoyl} pyridin-2-yl) piperidine-4-carboxylic acid maleic acid salt.

Example 2: Manufacture of Compound X Maleic Acid Salt C Type Crystals (2)
A mixture containing 80.1 g of 1-(3-chloro-5-{[4-(4-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-5-(4-cyclohexyl piperazin-1-yl) thiazol-2-yl] carbamoyl} pyridin-2-yl) piperidine-4-carboxylic acid, 580 mL of DMSO, 580 mL of acetone, 17.2 g of maleic acid, and 290 mL of water was stirred at 69 degree C. The insoluble matter was filtered out, washed with a mixture of 32 mL of DMSO, 32 mL of acetone, and 16 mL of water, and then the filtrate was cooled and the precipitate was collected by filtering. Washing was successively performed using 150 mL of water, 80 mL of acetone, 650 mL of water, and 80 mL of acetone, followed by drying, to obtain 70.66 g of 1-(3-chloro-5-{[4-(4-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-5-(4-cyclohexyl piperazin-1-yl) thiazol-2-yl] carbamoyl} pyridin-2-yl) piperidine-4-carboxylic acid maleic acid salt.

ASLAN Pharmaceuticals, a Singapore-based drugmaker, announced The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave an orphan drug designation on August 13 to its pan-HER inhibitor ASLAN001 (varlitinib), a drug candidate created to treat a destructive form of bile duct cancer called cholangiocarcinoma that has no known cure.  ………http://www.dddmag.com/news/2015/08/aslan-pharmaceuticals-gains-orphan-designation-rare-cancer-drug

Current developer: Array Biopharma Inc,

Varlitinib, also known as ARRY-543 and ASLAN001, is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor family with potential antineoplastic activity.

Varlitinib (ASLAN-001) is an oncolytic drug in phase II clinical trials at ASLAN Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of gastric cancer and for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in combination with capecitabine. Clinical development is also ongoing for the treatment of solid tumors in combination with cisplatin/FU and cisplatin/capecitabine. The product had been in phase I/II clinical trials at Array BioPharma for the treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Phase II clinical trials had also been ongoing for the treatment of solid tumors. No recent development has been reported for this research

Varlitinib selectively and reversibly binds to both EGFR (ErbB-1) and Her-2/neu (ErbB-2) and prevents their phosphorylation and activation, which may result in inhibition of the associated signal transduction pathways, inhibition of cellular proliferation and cell death. EGFR and Her-2 play important roles in cell proliferation and differentiation and are upregulated in various human tumor cell types. Due to the dual inhibition of both EGFR and Her-2, this agent may be therapeutically more effective than agents that inhibit EGFR or Her-2 alone.

The drug is a dual inhibitor of the ErB-2 and EGFR receptor kinases, both of which have been shown to stimulate aberrant growth, prolong survival and promote differentiation of many tumor types. The compound behaves as a reversible ATP-competitive inhibitor with nanomolar potency both in vitro and in cell-based proliferation assays.

In 2011, the compound was licensed to Aslan Pharmaceuticals by Array BioPharma worldwide for the treatment of solid tumors, initially targeting patients with gastric cancer through a development program conducted in Asia.

In 2015, orphan drug designation was assigned to the compound in the U.S. for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.

Under nitrogen atmosphere, sodium borohydride (0.06 g, 1.6 mmol) was added to a stiπed solution of 8-oxo-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecanedioic acid (1.18 g, 3.4 mmol) in methanol (50 mL) at 0 °C. The reaction progress was momtored by thin layer chromatography (silica; hexanes : ethyl acetate = 50 : 50). Additional sodium borohydride was added after 1 h (0.48 g, 13 mmol). After 8 h, the reaction mixture was hydrolyzed with water (50 mL) and acidified with concenfrated hydrochloric acid (3 mL) to pH 1. The solution was diluted with water (50 mL) and exfracted with dichloromethane (4 x 25 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated sodium chloride solution (2 x 30 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, concentrated in vacuo, and dried in high vacuo to give 8-hydroxy-2,2,14,14-tetramethylpentadecanedioic acid (0.7 g, 60 %) as a very viscous oil.

Keto-substituted hydrocarbons with 11−19 methylene and bis-terminal hydroxyl and carboxyl groups have been synthesized and evaluated in both in vivo and in vitro assays for their potential to favorably alter lipid disorders including metabolic syndrome. Compounds were assessed for their effects on the de novo incorporation of radiolabeled acetate into lipids in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes as well as for their effects on lipid and glycemic variables in obese female Zucker fatty rats [Crl:(ZUC)-faBR] following 1 and 2 weeks of oral administration. The most active compounds were found to be symmetrical with four to five methylene groups separating the central ketone functionality and the gem dimethyl or methyl/aryl substituents. Furthermore, biological activity was found to be greatest in both in vivo and in vitro assays for the tetramethyl-substituted keto diacids and diols (e.g., 10c, 10g,14c), and the least active were shown to be the bis(arylmethyl) derivatives (e.g., 10e, 10f,14f). Compound 14c dose-dependently elevated HDL-cholesterol, reduced triglycerides, and reduced NEFA, with a minimum effective dose of 30 mg/kg/day. Compound 10g dose-dependently modified non-HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and nonesterified fatty acids, with a minimum effective dose of 10 mg/kg/day. At this dose, compound 10g elevated HDL-cholesterol levels 2−3 times higher than pretreatment levels, and a dose-dependent reduction of fasting insulin and glucose levels was observed.

Esperion Therapeutics

Ringing the bell were Roger Newton, Esperion’s founder and chief science officer, and Tim Mayleben, the CEO and president.

Esperion raised about $73 million in its offering on June 26. It hopes to use the funds to conduct two Phase 3 U.S. Food and Drug Administration trials next year on a cholesterol-lowering drug with the working name of ETC-1002.

ETC-1002 has shown good results in preliminary human trials in lowering LDL, the so-called bad cholesterol, in patients who are either intolerant or resistant to such statin drugs as Lipitor and Torvast. More results are expected this summer.

This was the second IPO for a drug company called Esperion. The first Esperion was founded in 1998 to create a drug to raise HDL, the so-called good cholesterol. It went public in 2000 and was sold to Pfizer Inc. for $1.3 billion in 2004.

In 2008, as part of closing its Michigan operations, Pfizer sold the name and rights to some small molecules back to Newton.

Esperion cofounder Roger Newton was one of the Key players in the Development of LDL-Cholesterol Lowering Pfizer’s statin atorvastatin (Lipitor), the Biggest Selling Drug of All time with Annual Sales of Almost $ 13 Billion Dollars in 2006 at ITS Peak.

Esperion President and CEO Tim Mayleben (left) and Chief Science Officer Roger Newton in the company’s labs at the Michigan Life Science and Innovation Center.Mayleben previously told AnnArbor.com that the drug being developed by the company, which is housed at the Michigan Life Science and Innovation Center in Plymouth Township, is undergoing the second round of “phase two” clinical tests. Most drugs go through three phases of testing before the results are submitted to the Food and Drug Administration. Mayleben said he does not expect the company to submit ETC-1002 to the FDA for approval for at least another three years.,Newton, a co-inventor of Lipitor and founder of the first Esperion, raised more than $22 million to buy the intellectual property from the original company back from Pfizer when the company closed its Ann Arbor offices in 2007…….http://www.annarbor.com/business-review/ann-arbor-pharmaceutical-company-esperion-therapeutics-to-ring-nasdaq-opening-bell-wednesday/

Aurobindo Pharma MD and CEO N. Govindarajan at a company research centre. “It [the transition] is purely driven by the need to get more into areas where there is scope for better profit margins,

Dolutegravir (I) is chemically known as (4/?,12aS)-N-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]-3,4,6,8,12,12a-hexahydro-7-hydroxy-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-2//-pyrido[r,2′:4,5]pyrazino[2,l-b][l,3]oxazine-9-carboxamide. Dolutegravir is a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Dolutegravir is being marketed under the trade name Tivicay®. US 8,129,385 disclosed Dolutegravir or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. US ‘385 also discloses a process for the preparation of Dolutegravir (I). The process involves the condensation of 5-benzyloxy-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl nicotinic acid (II) with 2,4-difluorobenzylamine (III) to produce 5-benzyloxy-N-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl nicotinic acid amide (IV), which is further under goes oxidation using manganese dioxide (Mn02) to produce 5-benzyloxy-N-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-6-formyl-4-hydroxy-nicotinic acid amide (V). This amide compound (V) is reacted with sodium chlorite (NaClCh) to produce 3-benzyloxy-5-(2,4-difluorobenzylcarbamoyl)-4- hydroxy-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (VI), which is further treated with methanol (MeOH) to produce 3-benzyloxy-5-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-4-hydroxy-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (VII).

The methyl ester compound (VII) is reacted with 3-bromopropene to produce l-allyl-3-benzyloxy-5-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-4-oxo-l,4-dihydro-pyridine-2- carboxylic acid methyl ester (VIII), which is further reacted with potassium osmate dihydrate (K2OSO4.2H2O) to produce 3-benzyloxy-5-(2,4-difluorobenzylcarbamoyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxo-ethyl)-l,4-dihydropyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (IX). The compound (IX) is reacted with (R)-3-amino-l-butanol (X) to produce benzyloxy Dolutegravir (XI), which is deprotected by treating with TFA to produce Dolutegravir (I). The process is as shown in scheme-I below:

The major disadvantage with the above prior-art process is that it involves large no of steps and tedious work-up procedures to isolate the required product. This results a longer period of time cycle is required to produce Dolutegravir (I), which in turn renders the process more costly and less eco friendly. Further the above processes are low yielding and with less purity. US 8,217,034 discloses variant process for the preparation of Dolutegravir.

This process involves the reaction of methyl l-(2,2-dihydroxyethyl)-4-oxo-3-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-l,4-dihydro-2-pyridine carboxylate (XII) with (R)-3-amino-l-butanol (X) to produce (4R, 12o5)-4-methyl-7-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-3,4,12,12a-tetrahydro-2//-pyrido[ 1 \2′,4,5] pyrazino[2,l-b][l,3]oxazine-6,8-dione (XIII), which is further undergoes bromination using NBS to produce (4R,12aS)-9-bromo-4-methyl-7-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-3,4,12,12a-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[r,2′:4,5]pyrazino[2,l-b][l,3]oxazine-6,8-dione (XIV). The bromo Compound (XIV) is condensed with 2,4-difluorobenzylamine (III) in the presence of Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (Pd(PPh3)4) to produce benzyloxy Dolutegravir (XI), which is hydrogenated in the presence of Pd/C to produce Dolutegravir (I). The process is as shown in Scheme-II below:

The major disadvantage with the above prior art process of preparing Dolutegravir is the use of expensive reagent tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (Pd(PPh3)4> in coupling step. Use of this reagent on industrial scale is not preferred, which makes the process more expensive. WO 2011/119566 discloses another variant process for the preparation of Dolutegravir.

This process involves the reaction of l-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-5-methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XV) with acetic acid in presence of methane sulfonic acid to produce 5-methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxoethyl)-l,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XVI), which is further condensed with (R)-3-amino-l-butanol (X) to produce (4R,12aS)-7-methoxy-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-3,4,6,8,12,12a-hexahydro-2//-pyrido[ 1 ‘,2’:4,5]pyrazino[2,1 -b] [ 1,3]-oxazine-9-carboxylic acid (XVII). This acid Compound XVII is acylated with 2,4-difluorobenzylamine (III) in the presence of carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) to produce methoxy Dolutegravir (XVIII), which is demethylated in the presence of lithium bromide (LiBr) to produce Dolutegravir (I).

The process is as shown in Scheme-3 below:

The major disadvantage of the above prior art process of preparing Dolutegravir is the use of expensive and highly moisture sensitive reagent, 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), during acylation. Use of this reagent on industrial scale is not preferred due to anhydrous conditions required in the process. However, there is always a need for alternative preparative routes, which for example, involve fewer steps, use reagents that are less expensive and/or easier to handle, consume smaller amounts of reagents, provide a higher yield of product, have smaller and/or more eco-friendly waste products, and/or provide a product of higher purity. Hence, there is a need to develop cost effective and commercially viable process for the preparation of Dolutegravir of formula (I). The present invention is related to a process for the preparation of pure Dolutegravir of formula (I), wherein optically active acid addition salt of (R)-3-amino-l-butanol (X) is directly condensed with 5-methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxoethyl)-l,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XVI) instead of condensing with free base of (R)-3-amino-1-butanol (X). The present invention is also related to a process for the preparation of pure Dolutegravir of formula (I), wherein, inexpensive and easily handling condensing reagents in the condensation of (4R, 12aS)-7-methoxy-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-3,4,6,8,12,12a-hexahydro-2//-pyrido[l’,2′:4,5]pyrazino [2,l-b][l,3]oxazine-9-carboxylic acid (XVII) with 2,4-difluorobenzylamine (III).

AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF DOLUTEGRAVIR

In another embodiment, 5-methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxoethyl)-l,4- dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XVI) used in the present invention is prepared by reacting 4-methoxyacetoacetate (XIX) with N,N-dimethyl-l,l- bis(methyloxy)methanamine (DMF-DMA) (XX) to produce methyl-2- (dimethylaminomethylene)-4-methoxy-3-oxo-butanoate(methyl-3-(dimethylamino)-2 [(methyloxy)acetyl]-2-propenoate) (XXI), which is reacted with aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal (XXII) to produce methyl-2-(2,2-dimethoxyethylaminomethylene)-4-methoxy-3-oxo-butanoate(methyl-3-{[2,2-bis(methyloxy)ethyl]amino}-2-[(methyloxy) acetyl]-2-propenoate) (XXIII).

The compound (XXIII) is contacted with dimethyl ethanedioate in presence of alkali metal alkoxide to produce dimethyl-1-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-3-methoxy-4-oxo-l ,4-dihydropyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate (XXIV), which is selectively hydrolyzed with a base to produce l-[2,2-bis(methyloxy)ethyl]-5-(methyloxy)-6-[(methyloxy)carbonyl]-4-oxo-l ,4-dihydro-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (XV). The compound (XV) is treated with a catalytic amount of a strong protic acid in the presence of acetic acid in an organic solvent to produce a reaction mixture containing 5- methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxoethyl)-l,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XVI), The process is as shown in Scheme-IV below:

preparing a compound represented by the following formula 1 by reacting the compound of formula 11 with TFA (step 9):

The retrosynthetic analysis of MLN4924 (1), as the final desired nucleoside, is shown in the following.

MLN 4924 (1) can be synthesized by condensing cyclic sulfate 3 as the glycosyl donor with a purine base. The glycosyl donor 3 can be produced from diol 4, which in turn can be obtained from cyclopentanone 5 via a stereoselective reduction and a regioselective cleavage of the isopropylidene moiety. The cyclopentanone 5 can be synthesized from cyclopentenone 6 by stereoselective reduction. The intermediate cyclopentenone 6 can be easily derived from D-ribose according to our previously published procedure (Jeong, L. S. et al., J. Org. Chem. 2004, 69, 2634-2636).

The synthetic route for the glycosyl donor 3 is shown in the following scheme 1.

Example 1 Preparation of MLN4924 Step 1: Preparation of 6-(tert-butyl-diphenyl-silanyloxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-tetrahydro-cyclopenta[1,3]dioxol-4-one (Compound 5)

To a suspension of the compound 6 (20.0 g, 47.1 mmol) in methanol (400 ml) was added 10% palladium on activated carbon (1.0 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight under H₂ atmosphere. After filtration of the reaction mixture, the solvent was removed and the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride and then filtered through short pad silica gel. Then, the solvent was evaporated to give the compound 5 (20.1 g, 100%) as a colorless syrup.

A practical synthesis of a novel NEDD8-activating enzyme (NAE) inhibitor pevonedistat (MLN4924) is described. Key steps include an enantioselective synthesis of an amino-diol cyclopentane intermediate containing three chiral centers and a novel, regioselective sulfamoylation using N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-N-[(triethylenediammonium)sulfonyl]azanide. The linear process, involving six solid isolations, has been carried out in multiple cGMP productions on 15–30 kg scale to produce pevonedistat in 98% (a/a) chemical purity and 25% overall yield.
