Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of advanced age characterized by loss of memory, accumulation of amyloid beta protein (Αβ) deposits and decreased levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Approximately forty percent of AD patients suffer from significant depression. 5-HT4 receptor partial agonists may be of benefit for both the symptomatic and disease-modifying treatment for AD and may offer improved clinical efficacy and/or tolerability relative to acetylcholine esterase inhibitors. 5-HT4 receptor agonists also have antidepressant like properties (Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2007, 7, 1357-1374; Experimental Neurology, 2007, 203(1), 274- 278; Neuroscience & Medicine, 201 1 , 2, 87 – 92; Schizophrenia Bulletin, 2007, 33 (5), 1 100 – 1 1 19).

1 -Isopropyl-3 – { 5 – [ 1 -(3 -methoxypropyl) piperidin-4-yl] – [ 1 ,3 ,4]oxadiazol-2-y 1 } -1 H-indazole oxalate of formula (I) is a promising pharmaceutical agent, which is a potent, selective and orally bioavailable 5-HT₄ receptor partial agonist intended for both disease modifying and symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other disorders of memory and cognition like Attention deficient hyperactivity,

Parkinson’s and Schizophrenia. . In addition to the pro-cognitive effects, the compound also demonstrated dose dependent antidepressant like effects in the mouse forced swim test. l-Isopropyl-3-{5-[l-(3-methoxypropyl) piperidin-4-yl]-[l,3,4]oxadiazol-2-yl}-lH-indazole oxalate and its synthesis is disclosed by Ramakrishna et al. in WO2013042135.

At present, l-Isopropyl-3-{5-[l-(3-methoxypropyl) piperidin-4-yl]-[l,3,4] oxadiazol-2-yl}-l H-indazole oxalate of formula (I) has completed preclinical studies and is ready to enter human clinical trials. The demand for l-Isopropyl-3-{ 5- [ 1 -(3 -methoxypropyl) piperidin-4-yl]- [ 1 ,3 ,4]oxadiazol-2-yl } – 1 H-indazole oxalate of formula (I) as a drug substance would be increased substantially with the advent of its human clinical trials. The future need for much larger amounts is projected due to the intended commercialization of l-Isopropyl-3-{5-[l-(3-methoxypropyl) piperidin-4-yl]-[l ,3,4]oxadiazol-2-yl}-lH-indazole oxalate of formula (I).

For the person skilled in art, it is a well known fact that various parameters will change during the manufacturing of a compound on a large scale when compared to the synthetic procedures followed in laboratory. Therefore, there is a need to establish and optimize large scale manufacturing process. The process for the preparation of l -Isopropyl-3-{5-[l-(3-methoxypropyl) piperidin-4-yl]-[l ,3,4] oxadiazol-2-yl}-l H-indazole oxalate of formula (I) which was disclosed in WO2013042135 had been proved to be unsatisfactory for the large scale synthesis. Eventually, it is highly desirable to establish optimized manufacturing process for l-Isopropyl-3-{5-[l-(3-methoxypropyl) piperidin-4-yl]-[l ,3,4] oxadiazol-2-yl}-l H-indazole oxalate of formula (I) which is amenable to the large scale preparation.

To a stirred solution of dimethylformamide (DMF) (50 L) at 25 °C to 30 °C under nitrogen atmosphere, sodium tert-butoxide (6.0 Kg, 62.43 mols) was added over a period of 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes after which it was cooled to 0 °C to 5 °C. A solution of indazole-3-carboxylic acid (4.0 Kg, 24.67 mols) in DMF (50 L) was added slowly into the reactor over a period of 45 minutes, maintaining the reaction mass temperature at 0 °C to 5 °C. The cooling was removed and the reaction temperature was gradually raised to 25 °C to 30 °C over a period of 30 minutes. After stirring at this temperature for 1 hour the reaction mixture was cooled to 0 °C and isopropyl iodide (6.32 Kg, 37.18 mo!s) was added over a period of 30 minutes. The cooling was removed and the reaction temperature was allowed to rise to 25 °C to 30 °C. After 17 hours of stirring, the HPLC analysis of the reaction mixture revealed <10 % of indazole-7-carboxylic acid remaining. The reaction mass was diluted cautiously with water (200 L) and washed with ethylacetate (2 x 100 L). The resultant aqueous layer was acidified to 4.0 – 4.5 pH with aqueous hydrochloride solution (6.0 N, 21.5 L) and extracted with ethylacetate (2 x 144 L). The combined organic layer was washed with water (2 x 100 L), brine solution (200 L) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate (4.0 Kg). The filtered organic layer was subjected to solvent removal under reduced pressure (> 500 mm of Mercury) at 50 °C to 60 °C to obtain a crude mass. The obtained crude mass was diluted with dichloromethane (DCM) (28.0 L) and was stirred for 15 minutes. The solids precipitated (un-reacted indazole-7-carboxylic acid) were filtered through nutsche filter and the filter bed was washed once with DCM (8.0 L). The combined filtrate was distilled under reduced pressure (> 500 mm of Mercury) at 45 °C to 55 °C to obtain a crude mass which was stirred with ether (7.0 L) for 30 minutes and filtered through nutsche filter to obtain the wet solid which was dried further in vacuum oven under reduced pressure (> 500 mm of Mercury) at 45 °C to 55 °C to obtain above titled compound (3.0 Kg) as an off-white crystalline powder.

Characterization of SUVN-D1104010: A potent, selective and orallyactive 5-HT4 receptor partial agonist
Alzheimer’s Assoc Int Conf (AAIC) (July 14-19, Vancouver) 2012, Abst P2-392

SUVN-D1104010 displayed IC50 values > 45 and > 10 mcM for cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2D6, respectively. In dog, rat and human liver microsome preparations, it showed respective stabilities of 64, 26 and 26%. It displayed rat brain, rat plasma and human plasma protein binding values of 94, 89 and 93%, respectively. For parmacokinetic studies, the agent was administered to male Wistar rats (1 mg/kg i.v.; 3 mg/kg p.o.) and male Beagle dogs (1 mg/kg i.v. and p.o.). Following intravenous administration, the rats showed AUC(0-24 h), t1/2, MRT Last, Cl and Vdss values of 245 ng·h/mL, 1.1 hours, 1.1 hours, 67 mL/min/kg and 5.3 L/kg, respectively. Following intravenous administration to dogs, these respective values were 951 ng·h/mL, 6 hours, 3.9 hours, 18 mL/min/kg and 5.1 L/kg. Following oral administration to rats, the respective values were 136 ng·h/mL, 0.42 hours, 222 hours, 1.4 mL/min/kg and 1.4 L/kg. For dogs, these respective values were 179 ng·h/mL, 0.58 hours, 711 hours, 4.6 mL/min/kg and 4.0 L/kg. Oral bioavailabilty values in rats and dogs were 30 and 72%, respectively. The brain penetration profile was studied 1 hour after the administration of 1, 3 and 10 mg/kg p.o. in rats. Plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), whole brain samples were collected and drug concentrations were analyzed by liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry. Dosing at 1, 3 and 10 mg/kg p.o. was associated with respective plasma concentrations of 42, 136 and 537 nM; respective brain concentrations of 120, 352 and 1674 nM; respective CSF concentrations of 7, 18 and 90 nM; ratios of CSF concentrations over Ki values of 0.3, 0.8 and 3.8; ratios of brain concentrations over Ki values of 5, 5 and 70; and ratios of brain over plasma concentrations of 2.8, 2.5 and 3. Further studies included in vivo receptor occupancy (brain 5-HT4 receptor) analysis. The drug showed dose-dependent occupancy in the rat striatum and gained ready access to the brain. An ED50 of 2.75 mg/kg p.o. was noted. Brain cortical soluble amyloid precursor protein alpha (sAPPalpha) levels were assessed in male C57BL6 mice injected with 1-10 mg/kg s.c. and sacrificed 30/60 minutes later. Results were compared to vehicle-treated mice. At 3 and 10 mg/kg doses, significant increases in sAPPalpha levels were noted (P values < 0.05 and < 0.01, respectively) using ELISA. To study changes in CSF beta-amyloid levels, Wistar rats were administered the drug orally at 0.03-3 mg/kg and 2 hours later, CSF was collected and analyzed for beta-amyloid protein 42 (Abeta42) and 40 (Abeta40) by ELISA. The drug induced a decrease of 19-35% in Abeta42 levels and a decrease of 20-38% in Abeta40 levels in rat CSF at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg (P < 0.01). Toxicity studies are currently under way.
