Fanetizole
Ley et al  had previously developed a tube-in-tube reactor based on a semipermeable polymer membrane to  enable the transfer of gases into liquid flow streams. and here, we demonstrate the scalability and throughput of this reactor when used with ammonia gas. This was made possible by a the inclusion of a titration method to assess parameters including the liquid and gas configuration, reactor temperatures, flow rates, and solvent polarity. These data were then employed in a scaling-up process affording alkyl thioureas which were ultimately used in a telescoped procedure for the preparation of anti-inflammatory agent fanetizole on a multigram scale.

Researchers at Cambridge have shown how it is possible to calibrate a ‘tube-in-tube’ reactor containing ammonia gas using a simple in-line colourimetric titration technique.

This information was then used to deliver an ammonia solution of stoichiometrically to effect the telescoped 2 stage synthesis of the anti-inflammatory agent Fanetizole.

The automated continuous flow synthesiser was able to produce drug substance at a rate of approximately 10 g per hour, isolating the product by direct precipitation from the outflow reaction stream.

Epelsiban (GSK-557,296-B)^[1][2] is an oral drug which acts as a selective, sub-nanomolar (Ki=0.13 nM) oxytocin receptor antagonist with >31000-fold selectivity over the related vasopressin receptors and is being developed by GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of premature ejaculation in men.^[3][4]

GSK-557296 is being developed in early clinical studies at GlaxoSmithKline for enhancement of embryo and or blastocyst implantation in women undergoing IVF treatment. The product has been in phase II clinical development for the treatment of premature ejaculation.

Preterm labor is a major clinical problem leading to death and disability in newborns and accounts for 10% of all births and causes 70% of all infant mortality and morbidity.

Oxytocin (OT) is a potent stimulant of uterine contractions and is responsible for the initiation of labor via the interaction with the OT receptors in the mammalian uterus. OT antagonists have been shown to inhibit uterine contractions and delay preterm delivery. So there is increasing interest in OT antagonists because of their potential application in the prevention of preterm labor. Although several tocolytics have already been approved in clinical practice, they have harmful maternal or fetal side effects.

The first clinically tested OT antagonist atosiban has a much more tolerable side effect profile and has recently been approved for use in Europe. However, atosiban is a peptide and a mixed OT/vasopressin V1a receptor antagonist that has to be given by iv infusion and is not suitable for long-term maintenance treatment, as it is not orally bioavailable.

Hence there has been considerable interest in overcoming the shortcomings of the peptide OT antagonists by identifying orally active nonpeptide OT antagonists with a higher degree of selectivity toward the vasopressin receptors (V1a, V1b, V2) with good oral bioavailability. Although several templates have been investigated as potential selective OT antagonists, few have achieved the required selectivity for the OT receptor vs the vasopressin receptors combined with the bioavailability and physical chemical properties required for an efficacious oral drug.

Therefore our objective was to design a potent, orally active OT antagonist with high levels of selectivity over the vasopressin receptor with good oral bioavailability in humans that would delay labor safely by greater than seven days and with improved infant outcome, as shown by a reduced combined morbidity score.

Stage 0

methyl d-alloisoleucinate hydrochloride (Compound 2) was charged to ethyl acetate. A solution of potassium carbonate in water was then added. The mixture was then stirred vigorously at room temperature for 1 hour. The two layers were separated and the aqueous layer further extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined and washed with brine. The organic layers were then concentrated in vacuo and filtered to yield methyl D-alloisoleucinate (Compound 3) as a pale yellow oil.

Stage 1

2,6-dimethyl-3-pyridinecarbaldehyde (Compound 4) in methanol at ambient temperature was treated with D-alloisoleucinate (Compound 3) in methanol followed by 2,2,2- trifluoroethanol and the reaction mixture was warmed to 40°C. When formation of the intermediate imine (methyl A/-[(2,6-dimethyl-3-pyridinyl)methylidene]-D-alloisoleucine) was complete Compound 5 was added followed by 1-isocyano-2- [(phenylmethyl)oxy]benzene (Compound 6) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 40°C until formation of Compound 7 was deemed complete.

Stage 2

Palladium on carbon catalyst was treated with a solution of Compound 7 in methanol and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and diluted with acetic acid. The vessel was purged with nitrogen and the reaction mixture warmed to 50°C and hydrogenated at 4.0-4.5 barg. When the reaction was deemed complete it was cooled to ambient temperature and the catalyst removed by filtration and washed through with methanol. The organic solution of 2- {(3R,6R)-3-(2,3-dihydro-1 H-inden-2-yl)-6-[(1 S)-1 -methylpropyl]-2,5-dioxo-1-piperazinyl}- 2-(2,6-dimethyl-3-pyridinyl)-/\/-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (Compound 8) was concentrated at reduced pressure and then diluted with /^‘so-propyl acetate and concentrated at reduced pressure.

The residue was diluted with /^‘so-propyl acetate and washed with aqueous ammonia. The aqueous phase was separated and extracted into another portion of /^‘so-propyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed with water, concentrated by distillation at reduced pressure, diluted with /^‘so-propyl acetate and concentrated by distillation at reduced pressure, to leave a concentrated solution of 2-{(3R,6R)-3-(2,3-dihydro-1 H-inden-2-yl)-6-[(1 S)-1 -methylpropyl]-2,5-dioxo-1 – piperazinyl}-2-(2,6-dimethyl-3-pyridinyl)-/\/-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (Compound 8). The product was finally dissolved in 1 ,4-dioxane for the next stage and stored into drums.

In a separate vessel morpholine in 1 ,4-dioxane was heated to 80-85°C. The solution containing (3R,6R)-3-(2,3-dihydro-1 H-inden-2-yl)-1-[1 – (2,6-dimethyl-3-pyridinyl)-2-oxo-2-(2-oxo-1 ,3-benzoxazol-3(2H)-yl)ethyl]-6-[(1 S)-1- methylpropyl]-2,5-piperazinedione (Compound 9) was slowly added to the morpholine in 1 ,4-dioxane. The reaction mixture was stirred for one hour at 80-85°C and cooled before concentration by distillation at reduced pressure.

The concentrated solution of Compound A was diluted with /^‘so-propyl acetate and washed with aqueous sodium hydroxide followed by water. The /so-propyl acetate solution of COMPOUND A was then concentrated by distillation at reduced pressure and cooled to ambient temperature. The concentrated solution of Compound A was then diluted with acetone and treated with benzenesulfonic acid and seed crystals were added and the reaction mixture stirred until crystallisation occurred. The slurry of Compound A besylate was heated to 50°C, a temperature cycle was performed, and finally the slurry was cooled to -10°C and isolated by filtration. The filter cake was washed with cold acetone (-10°C) to give Compound A besylate (intermediate grade) as a wet cake.

COMPOUND A besylate is charged to the vessel and treated with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) (8vol) and water (0.35vol) and the solution heated until dissolution is observed (ca. 55-60°C). The solution is then filtered and recharged to the vessel. Pressure is then reduced to 650mbar and the reaction mixture heated further to distil out solvent. MEK is added at the same rate as solvent is removed by distillation keeping the reaction mixture volume constant. After 4 volumes of MEK have been added the reaction mixture is treated with Form 2 seed crystals (2%wt) and the distillation continued in the same manner until another 7 volumes of MEK has been added. The vacuum is then released to an atmospheric pressure of nitrogen and the temperature of the reaction mixture adjusted to 65°C. The reaction mixture is then filtered and washed with pre heated MEK (2vol at 65°C). The purified COMPOUND A besylate anhydrate is then sucked dry and dried further in a vacuum oven at 65°C at l OOmbar with a nitrogen bleed. Yield 89%

A six-stage stereoselective synthesis of indanyl-7-(3′-pyridyl)-(3R,6R,7R)-2,5-diketopiperazines oxytocin antagonists from indene is described. SAR studies involving mono- and disubstitution in the 3′-pyridyl ring and variation of the 3-isobutyl group gave potent compounds (pK_i > 9.0) with good aqueous solubility. Evaluation of the pharmacokinetic profile in the rat, dog, and cynomolgus monkey of those derivatives with low cynomolgus monkey and human intrinsic clearance gave 2′,6′-dimethyl-3′-pyridyl R-sec-butyl morpholine amide Epelsiban (69), a highly potent oxytocin antagonist (pK_i = 9.9) with >31000-fold selectivity over all three human vasopressin receptors hV1aR, hV2R, and hV1bR, with no significant P450 inhibition. Epelsiban has low levels of intrinsic clearance against the microsomes of four species, good bioavailability (55%) and comparable potency to atosiban in the rat, but is 100-fold more potent than the latter in vitro and was negative in the genotoxicity screens with a satisfactory oral safety profile in female rats.

IN PHASE 3 FOR MAJOR DEPRESSION

Cariprazine (RGH-188) is an antipsychotic drug under development by Gedeon Richter. It acts as a D₂ and D₃ receptor partial agonist, with high selectivity towards the D₃ receptor.^[1] Positive Phase III study results were published for schizophrenia and maniaearly 2012, while Phase II studies in bipolar disorder I, and for bipolar depression are in progress.^[2] Action on the dopaminergic systems makes it also potentially useful as an add-on therapy in major depressive disorder ^[3]

Forest Laboratories obtained a license on development (from the Richter – Hungary) and exclusive commercial rights in the US in 2004.

Medical uses

Cariprazine is currently in clinical trials for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It has also been investigated as a potential adjunct in treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.^[4]

Side effects

The most prevalent side effects for cariprazine include akathisia, insomnia, and weight gain. Cariprazine does not appear to impact metabolic variables or prolactin levles, and unlike many other antipsychotics, does not increase the electrocardiogram (ECG) QT interval. In short term clinical trials extrapyramidal effects, sedation, akathisia, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, anxiety, and constipation were observed. One review characterized the frequency of these events as “not greatly different from that seen in patient treated with placebo”^[5] but a second called the incidence of movement-related disorders “rather high”^[6][7] .

Pharmacodynamics

Cariprazine acts as an antipsychotic that is effective against the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.^[8] Unlike many antipsychotics that are D₂ and 5-HT_2A receptor antagonists, cariprazine is a D₂ and D₃ partial agonist. It also has a higher affinity for D₃ receptors. The D₂ and D₃ receptors are important targets for the treatment of schizophrenia, because the overstimulation of dopamine receptors has been implicated as a possible cause of schizophrenia.^[9] Cariprazine acts to inhibit overstimulated dopamine receptors (acting as an antagonist) and stimulate the same receptors when the endogenous dopamine levels are low. Cariprazine’s high selectivity towards D₃ receptors could prove to reduce side effects associated with the other antipsychotic drugs, because D₃receptors are mainly located in the ventral striatum and would not incur the same motor side effects (extrapyramidal symptoms) as drugs that act on dorsal striatum dopamine receptors.^[8] Cariprazine also acts on 5-HT_1A receptors, though the affinity is considerably lower than the affinity to dopamine receptors (seen in monkey and rat brain studies).^[8][10] In the same studies, cariprazine has been noted to produce pro-cognitive effects, the mechanisms of which are currently under investigation. An example of pro-cognitive effects occurred in pre-clinical trials with rats: rats with cariprazine performed better in a scopolamine-induced learning impairment paradigm in a water labyrinth test. This may be due to the selective antagonist nature of D₃ receptors, though further studies need to be conducted.^[8] This result could be very useful for schizophrenia, as one of the symptoms includes cognitive deficits.

Cariprazine has partial agonist as well as antagonist properties depending on the endogenous dopamine levels. When endogenous dopamine levels are high (as is hypothesized in schizophrenic patients), cariprazine acts as an antagonist by blocking dopamine receptors. When endogenous dopamine levels are low, cariprazine acts more as an agonist, increasing dopamine receptor activity.^[11] In monkey studies, the administration of increasing does of cariprazine resulted in a dose-dependent and saturable reduction of specific binding. At the highest dose (300 μg/kg), the D₂/D₃ receptors were 94 % occupied, while at the lowest dose (1 μg/kg), receptors were 5 % occupied.^[10]

Pharmacokinetics

Cariprazine has high oral bioavailability and can cross the blood brain barrier easily in humans because it is lipophilic.^[2] In rats, the oral bioavailability was 52 % (with a dose of 1 mg/kg).^[7]

In some cases, an appropriate salt of an active may improve certain properties suitable for pharmaceutical compounds (i.e., stability, handling properties, ease of large scale synthesis, etc.). However, selection of a suitable salt for a particular active agent is not always straightforward, since the properties of salts of different compounds formed with the same salt forming agent may differ greatly. Moreover, formation of particular salts of a compound possessing more than one basic centre may be difficult to achieve in high yield due to formation of multiple products.

Biased agonism offers an opportunity for the medicinal chemist to discover pathway-selective ligands for GPCRs. A number of studies have suggested that biased agonism at the dopamine D₂ receptor (D₂R) may be advantageous for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. As such, it is of great importance to gain insight into the SAR of biased agonism at this receptor. We have generated SAR based on a novel D₂R partial agonist, tert-butyl (trans-4-(2-(3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)ethyl)cyclohexyl)carbamate (4). This ligand shares structural similarity to cariprazine (2), a drug awaiting FDA approval for the treatment of schizophrenia, yet displays a distinct bias toward two different signaling end points. We synthesized a number of derivatives of 4 with subtle structural modifications, including incorporation of cariprazine fragments. By combining pharmacological profiling with analytical methodology to identify and to quantify bias, we have demonstrated that efficacy and biased agonism can be finely tuned by minor structural modifications to the head group containing the tertiary amine, a tail group that extends away from this moiety, and the orientation and length of a spacer region between these two moieties.

Following an adapted literature procedure,(38) 10% Pd/C (881 mg, 828 μmol) was carefully added to an orange suspension of 5 (5.00 g, 27.6 mmol) in H₂O (150 mL). The reaction mixture was hydrogenated on a Parr shaker at 60 psi at rt for 3 days until the uptake of hydrogen was complete and no starting materials remained by TLC (CHCl₃/CH₃OH, 1:1). The mixture was filtered through a Celite pad and washed with water (30 mL), and the filtrate evaporated to dryness in vacuo to reveal a white solid. The material was taken up in absolute EtOH (70 mL) to which concentrated HCl (10 mL) was addedm and the mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h. TLC confirmed ethyl ester formation, and the solvents were concentrated in vacuo. The material was basified with a 1 M NaOH solution to pH 14, and a white precipitate emerged. The product was then extracted from the mixture with EtOAc (3 × 30 mL), and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine and then dried over anhydrous Na₂SO₄. The product was then converted to the HCl salt by the addition of 1 M HCl in Et₂O (27.6 mL, 27.6 mmol), and the solvents were concentrated to half volume in vacuo. The solution was then cooled to 0 °C, resulting in fractional crystallization of the trans stereoisomer as a white solid, which was then collected by filtration and washed with cold CH₃CN (1.34 g, 22%). mp: 164–166 °C (lit.(J.

The ICH has recently published a Business Plan and a Concept Paper on the elaboration of a Q&A document on the ICH Q11 Guideline. Read more here.

ICH announces Q&A Document on Q11 Guideline – Main Focus: API Starting Materials

The ICH Q11 Guideline entitled “Development and Manufacture of Drug Substances” from May 2012 has been implemented in the three ICH regions EU, USA and Japan for 2 years now. It describes the approach to developing APIs based on an in-depth understanding of the manufacturing process and adequate strategies to control this process. The document indicates what information should be provided about the quality of the API in Module 3 of the CTD (Common Technical Document) within the framework of a marketing authorisation application.

In the meantime, there has been an accumulation of cases where the applicant and the regulatory authorities adopted different positions with regard to the interpretation of the requirements in this guideline. Particularly, this concerned the definition of starting materials for the manufacture of APIs. The standards according to which regulatory authorities accept a specific compound as a starting material are far from uniform across the 3 ICH regions, and, all the more across Europe. It is thus obvious that this – in the context of global authorisation procedures – costs a lot of time, energy and money.

The ICH has now faced this problem and created an Implementation Working Group (IWG) which has the task of elaborating a Q&A document on API Starting Materials. As is usual in such circumstances (see also our News from 10 December 2014), the ICH has justified the necessity of the Q&A document in a Business Plan and a Concept Paper – both entitled “Q11: Q&As on Selection and Justification of Starting Materials for the Manufacture of Drug Substances”. (Business Plan and Concept Paper are the 1st step of the ICH procedure consisting of 5 steps. The last step always ends with a “Harmonised Tripartite Guideline”.)

The Concept Paper provides further details about the benefits expected of the Q&A document for the industry, authorities and patients:

• The selection and justification of starting materials should be extensively harmonised.
• The connection between the selection of starting materials and GMP aspects, control strategies, length of the chemical syntheses (number of synthesis steps) and the relevance of the manufacturing steps with regard to the API quality should be clarified.
• It should be specified which information has to be provided in the application dossier for the justification of the selection of the starting materials.
• The expectations regarding the lifecycle management should be explained.

This Question-&-Answer document is certainly interesting for all those confronted with diverse regulatory expectations regarding starting materials in relation to supra-regional registration and marketing authorisation procedures. Yet, according to the timing indicated in both the Business Plan and the Concept Paper, a first draft of this document (as Step 2a/b) should be released in one year at the earliest, namely in November 2015.

Verteporfin (trade name Visudyne), a benzoporphyrin derivative, is a medication used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy to eliminate the abnormal blood vessels in the eye associated with conditions such as the wet form of macular degeneration. Verteporfin accumulates in these abnormal blood vessels and, when stimulated by nonthermal red light with awavelength of 693 nm in the presence of oxygen, produces highly reactive short-lived singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen radicals, resulting in local damage to the endothelium and blockage of the vessels.^[1][2]

Verteporfin is also used off-label for the treatment of central serous retinopathy.^[3]

Verteporfin, otherwise known as benzoporphyrin derivative (trade name Visudyne®), is a medication used as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy to eliminate the abnormal blood vessels in the eye associated with conditions such as the wet form of macular degeneration. Verteporfin accumulates in these abnormal blood vessels and, when stimulated by nonthermal red light with a wavelength of 693 nm in the presence of oxygen, produces highly reactive short-lived singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen radicals, resulting in local damage to the endothelium and blockage of the vessels.

Administration

Verteporfin is given intravenously, 15 minutes before laser treatment.^[1]

VISUDYNE® (verteporfin) for Injection is a light activated drug used inphotodynamic therapy. The finished drug product is a lyophilized dark green cake. Verteporfin is a 1:1 mixture of two regioisomers (I and II), represented by the following structures:

Contraindications

Porphyria.^[1]

Side effects

Most common side effects are blurred vision, headache, and local effects at the injection site. Also, photosensitivity; it is advised to avoid exposure to sunlight and unscreened lighting until 48 hours after the injection of verteporfin.^[1]

Interactions

None known. Verteporfin has no influence on the liver enzyme CYP3A4, which metabolises many pharmaceutical drugs.^[1]

Verteporfin (CAS # 129497-78-5) is a benzoporphyrin derivative which has been used clinically for photodynamic therapy of age related macular degeneration (23).

Verteporfin is photoactivated for photodynamic therapy to eliminate the abnormal blood vessels in the eye associated with conditions such as the wet form of macular

degeneration. Verteporfin accumulates in these abnormal blood vessels and, when stimulated by nonthermal red light with a wavelength of 693 ran in the presence of oxygen, the photoactivated verteporfin produces highly reactive short-lived singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen radicals, resulting in local damage to the endothelium and blockage of the vessels. Benzoporphoryrins, are described for example, in US patents 5,095,030, 5,214,036, and 6,008,241.

Verteporfin (CAS # 129497-78-5) as used herein may include the two regioisomers as shown below:

and the 2 entantiomers of each of the two regioisomers as shown below:

The verteporfin as disclosed herein contains at least one chiral center and thus may exist in various stereoisomeric forms. If desired, such stereoisomers, including enantiomers, may be separated using techniques standard in the art (for example, chiral columns). However, racemic mixtures or mixtures containing more than one diastereomer may also be used and are contenplated herein. However, the compounds tested herein were in either of the trans entantiomers shown above. The compounds shown in Formulas IA, IB, Tables 1, 2 and Figure 10, are representative of the individual optical isomers, enantiomers or diastereomers as the case may be, as well as mixtures of these individual chiral isomers.

Visudyne™, as used herein, is the liposomal formulation of verteporfin used in humans for photodynamic therapy. Visudyne™ is given intravenously, usually within 15 minutes prior to laser treatment to eliminate the abnormal blood vessels in the eye in the treatment of wet macular degeneration. The verteporfin compound accumulates in these abnormal blood vessels and, when stimulated by a nonthermal red light laser with a wavelength of 693 nm in the presence of oxygen, produces highly reactive short-lived singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen radicals, resulting in local damage to the endothelium and blockage of the vessels. Patients given Visudyne™ experience photosensitivity and are advised to avoid exposure to sunlight and unscreened lighting for at least 48 hours after the injection of verteporfin.

In contrast to the current use of verteporfin in photodynamic therapy, subjects administered the BPDs described herein, in accordance with the methods and uses described herein, do not require photoactivation of the BPD via nonthermal red light laser with a wavelength of 693 nm or otherwise. The activity of the BPDs to inhibit early stage autophagy is independent of the activity associated with photoactivation and would likely be hindered by photoactivation. Accordingly, a person of skill in the art would appreciate that the precautions associated with photosensitivity should also apply to the present methods and uses (i.e. avoid exposure to sunlight and unscreened lighting for at least 48 hours after the injection of of the BPD).

KHK and Syndax partner for breast cancer treatment entinostat in Japan and Korea
Japan-based Kyowa Hakko Kirin (KHK) has signed a license agreement with US-based Syndax Pharmaceuticals for the exclusive rights to develop and commercialise entinostat in Japan and Korea.

TOKYO and WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd., (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; president and CEO: Nobuo Hanai, “Kyowa Hakko Kirin”) and Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (Waltham, Mass.; president and CEO:Arlene M. Morris, “Syndax”) today jointly announced that the companies have entered into a license agreement for the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize entinostat in Japan and Korea. Entinostat is a Class I selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor being developed by Syndax in the United States and Europe in combination with hormone therapy for advanced breast cancer and immune therapy combinations in solid tumors.

Entinostat, also known as SNDX-275 and MS-275, is a benzamide histone deacetylase inhibitor undergoing clinical trials for treatment of various cancers.^[1]

Entinostat inhibits class I HDAC1 and HDAC3 with IC₅₀ of 0.51 μM and 1.7 μM, respectively.^[2]

Entinostat (formerly known as MS-275) is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor in phase III clincal trials at Syndax in combination with exemestane for the treatment of advanced HR-positive breast cancer.

Entinostat (MS-275) preferentially inhibits HDAC1 (IC50=300nM) over HDAC3 (IC50=8µM) and has no inhibitory activity towards HDAC8 (IC50>100µM). MS-275 induces cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (p21/CIP1/WAF1), slowing cell growth, differentiation, and tumor development in vivo. Recent studies suggest that MS-275 may be particularly useful as an antineoplastic agent when combined with other drugs, like adriamycin.

In September 2013, Syndax Pharmaceuticals entered into a licensing, development and commercialization agreement with Eddingpharm in China and other asian countries. In 2013, a Breakthrough Therapy Designation was assigned to the compound for the treatment of locally recurrent or metastatic estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer when added to exemestane in postmenopausal women whose disease has progressed following non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor therapy.

Clinical trials

There is an ongoing phase II trial studying the effect of entinostat on Hodgkin’s lymphoma.^[3] It is in other phase II trials for advanced breast cancer (in combination with aromatase inhibitors)^[4] and for metastatic lung cancer (in combination with erlotinib).^[5] As of September 2013, the Food and Drug Administration is working with the industry to design phase III clinical trials. They seek to evaluate the application of Entinostat for the reduction, or prevention of, treatment resistance to aromatase inhibitors in hormone receptor positive breast cancer.^[6] Syndax pharmaceuticals currently holds the rights to Entinostat and recently received $26.6 million in funds to advance treatments of resistant cancers using epigenetic tools.^[7]

In EP 0 847 992 A1 (which co-patent is US 6,794,392) benzamide derivatives as medicament for the treatment of malignant tumors, autoimmune diseases, de- rmatological diseases and parasitism are described. In particular, these derivatives are highly effective as anticancer drugs, preferred for the haematological malignancy and solid tumors. The preparation of N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N- (pyridine-3-yl)methoxycarbonylaminomethyl]-benzamide is described on page 57, Example 48. The compound is neither purified by chromatography nor purified by treatment with charcoal. The final step of the process comprises the re- crystallization from ethanol.

Said compound has a melting point (mp) of 159 – 160 ⁰C.

The IR spectrum shows the following bands: IR(KBr) cm^“1: 3295, 1648, 1541 , 1508, 1457, 1309, 1183, 742.

The data indicate the Polymorph A form.

In EP 0 974 576 B1 a method for the production of monoacylated phenylenediamine derivatives is described. The preparation of N-(2- aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl)methoxycarbonylamino-methyl] benzamide is described on pages 12 to 13, Example 6. The final step of the process comprises the purification of the compound via silica gel column chromatography.

Said compound has a melting point (mp) of 159 – 160 ⁰C.

The IR spectrum shows the following bands: IR(KBr) cm^‘1: 3295, 1648, 1541 , 1508, 1457, 1309, 1183, 742.

The data indicate the Polymorph A form. In J. Med. Chem. 1999, 42, 3001-3003, the synthesis of new benzamide derivatives and the inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) is described. The process for the production of N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl) meth- oxycarbonylaminomethyl] benzamide is described. The final step of the process comprises the purification of the compound via silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate).

Said compound has a melting point (mp) of 159 – 160 ⁰C.

The IR spectrum shows the following bands: IR(KBr) cm^‘1: 3295, 1648, 1541 , 1508, 1457, 1309, 1183, 742.

The data indicate the Polymorph A form.

In WO 01/12193 A1 a pharmaceutical formulation comprising N-(2- aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl)methoxycarbonylamino-methyl]benzamide is described.

In WO 01/16106 a formulation comprising N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3- yl)methoxycarbonylamino-methyl]benzamide, having an increased solubility and an improved oral absorption for benzamide derivatives, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are described.

In WO 2004/103369 a pharmaceutical composition is described which comprises histone deacetylase inhibitors. That application concerns the combined use of N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl)methoxycarbonylamino- methyl]benzamide together with different cancer active compounds. In fact that application is a later application, which is based on the above mentioned matter and thus concerns the Polymorph A form. Finally, JP 2001-131130 (11-317580) describes a process for the purification of monoacylphenylenediamine derivatives. In Reference Example 2, the process for the production of crude N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl) meth-oxycarbonylaminomethyl] benzamide is described. Said compound has a melting point (mp) of 159 – 160 ⁰C,

The IR spectrum shows the following bands: IR(KBr) cm^“1: 3295, 1648, 1541 , 1508, 1457, 1309, 1183, 742.

The data indicate the Polymorph A form.

Moreover, Working Example 1 describes the purification of crude N-(2- aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl) methoxycarbonylaminomethyl] benzamide in aqueous acid medium together with carbon The final crystallization is done under aqueous conditions at 40-50⁰C.

Following the description to that example it can be seen from the Comparative Examples 1 – 3 that the crude N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl) meth- oxycarbonylaminomethyl] benzamide is not purified by dissolution under reflux conditions in either ethanol, methanol or acetonithle followed by a recrystalliza- tion at 2°C. As a result, these recrystallisations do not yield any pure compound.

In addition a “purification” of crude N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl) methoxycarbonylaminomethyl] benzamide in ethanol under reflux conditions to- gether with carbon is dechbed. After filtering off the carbon the compound is re- crystallized at 2°C. The purification effect of this method is very limited. 1 ,1 % of an impurity remain in the N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl) methoxycarbonylaminomethyl] benzamide. As a result, this procedure does not yield any pure compound.

None of the state of the art documents refer to a polymorph B of N-(2- aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl)methoxycarbonylamino-methyl]benzamide and no physicochemical features of said compound are known. Several biological and clinical studies have been done with N-(2-aminophenyl)- 4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl) meth-oxycarbonylaminomethyl] benzamide. For example, Kummar et al., Clin Cancer Res. 13 (18), 2007, pp 5411-5417 describe a phase I trial of N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl) meth-oxycarbonylaminomethyl] benzamide in refractory solid tumors. The compound was applied orally.

The crude N-(2-aminophenyl)-4-[N-(pyridine-3-yl)methoxycarbonylaminomethyl]- benzamide of step a) can be produced according to the method described in example 6 of EP 0974 576 B1.

Suzuki et al (Suzuki et al Synthesis and histone deacetylase inhibitory activity of new benzamide derivatives, J Med Chem 1999, 42, (15), 3001-3) discloses benzamide derivatives having histone deacetylase inhibitory activity and methods of making benzamide derivatives having histone deacetylase inhibitory activity. Suzuki et al is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[18] An example of the synthesis method of Suzuki et al to produce MS-275 via a three- step procedure in 50.96% overall yield is outlined in Scheme 3 below.

Scheme 3: Previous Procedure for Synthesis of MS-275 en rt, 4h

(used without purification)

[Overall yield: 0.91 x 0.56 x 100 = 50.96%;

MS-275 [19] In addition to the modest overall yield, the procedure of Suzuki et al has other disadvantages, such as a tedious method for the preparation of an acid chloride using oxalyl chloride and requiring the use of column chromatography for purification.

The synthesis of MS-275 is shown below in Scheme 4 as an example of Applicants invention of a two-step procedure: [37] Scheme 4: Preparation of MS-275

Scheme 4: New Synthesis of MS-275 (4)

Condensation of 3-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (7) and 4-(aminomethyl)benzoic in the presence of CDI gave 4-[N-(pyridin-3-ylmethoxycarbonyl)aminomethyl]benzoic Acid (8) in 91.0% yield. In the previous method of Suzuki et ah, the carboxylic acid derivative 8 was first converted into acyl chloride hydrochloride by treatment of oxalyl chloride in toluene and then reacted with imidazole to form the acylimidazole intermediate. (Suzuki et al., Synthesis and histone deacetylase inhibitory activity of new benzamide derivatives. J Med Chem 1999, 42, (15), 3001-3.). However, Applicants synthesized the imidazolide of intermediate 8 by treatment with CDI at about 55-60 ⁰C in THF. The imidazolide was cooled to ambient and further reacted in situ with 1,2-phenylenediamine in the presence of TFA to afford MS-275

(4).

Edoxaban (INN, codenamed DU-176b, trade name Lixiana) is an anticoagulant drug which acts as a direct factor Xa inhibitor. It is being developed by Daiichi Sankyo. It was approved in July 2011 in Japan for prevention of venous thromboembolisms (VTE) following lower-limb orthopedic surgery.^[1]

In animal studies, edoxaban is potent, selective for factor Xa and has good oral bioavailability.^[2]

Daichi Sankyo’s edoxaban tosilate is an orally administered
coagulation factor Xa inhibitor that was approved and launched
in Japan for the preventive treatment of venous thromboembolic
events (VTE) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, total
hip arthroplasty, or hip fracture surgery. Edoxaban has been
shown to have a rapid onset of anticoagulant effect due to short
Tmax (1–2 h) after dosing and sustained for up to 24 h post-dose.
Marketed under the brand name Lixiana, it is currently in phase
III studies in the US for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolic
events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and venous
thromboembolism (VTE).

Several Phase II clinical trials have been conducted, for example for thromboprophylaxis after total hip replacement^[3] (phase III early results compare well to enoxaparin^[4]), and for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation^[5][6].Those papers follow similar recent major trials showing similar results for the other new factor Xa inhibitors, rivaroxaban and apixaban.

A large phase III trial showed that edoxaban was non inferior to warfarin in preventing recurrent venous thromboembolic events with fewer episodes of major bleeding.^[7]

(B)

Edoxaban is known as a compound that exhibits an inhibitory effect on activated blood coagulation factor X (also referred to as activated factor X or FXa) , and is useful as a preventive and/or therapeutic drug for thrombotic diseases.

Several processes are known in the literature for preparing edoxaban for example, U.S. Patent No. 7365205; U.S. Publication No . 20090105491.

U.S. Patent No. 7365205 provides a process for the preparation of edoxaban, wherein the process involves the use of

(IS, 4S, 5S) -4-iodo-6-oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-7-one, represented by the following formula (C) :

(C)

as an intermediate.

The present inventors have identified that

(IS, 4S, 5S) -4-bromo-6-oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-7-one, represented by the following formula (I) :

( I )

could also be used as an intermediate for the preparation of FXa inhibitory compounds like edoxaban. The present inventors have found that replacement of

(IS, 4S, 5S) -4-iodo-6-oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-7-one (C) with

(IS, 4S, 5S) -4-bromo-6-oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-7-one (I) has a better atom economy and also an impact on cost.

A method for the synthesis of the

(IS, 4S, 5S) -4 -bromo- 6 -oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-7-one (I) was reported in Tetrahedron Letters, 51, (2010) Pages 3433-3435 which involves the reaction of ( IS) -cyclohex-3 -ene- 1-carboxylic acid represented by the following formula (II) :

( Π )

with N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of molecular sieves using dichloromethane as a solvent. However, this reaction is carried out in dark over a period of 7 hours and does not provide a pure product .

Tetrahedron, Vol. 28, Pages 3393 -3399 , 1972 provides a process for the preparation of 4 -bromo- 6 -oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-7-one which involves the addition of 20% excess of a 2M solution of bromine in chloroform to a stirred solution of cyclohex- 3 -ene- 1-carboxylic acid (0.04 mol) in chloroform (250 mL) in the absence of a base . Extraction with aqueous sodium bicarbonate followed by acidification gave, after extraction with ether and evaporation of the extract, a mixture of cis & trans 3 , 4-dibromocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (6.7 g) and evaporation of the chloroform layer afforded the bromolactone (0.59 g) . It further provides a process for the preparation of

4 -bromo-6 -oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-7-one which involves the treating of cyclohex-3-ene-l-carboxylic acid (0.08 mol) dissolved in chloroform (450 mL) with 20% excess bromine in the presence of an equimolar amount of triethylamine (8.1 g) . After extraction of the amine with 2N hydrochloric acid, and work-up, bromolactone (10.7 g) and a mixture of cis & trans 3 , 4 -dibromocyclohexanecarboxylic acid (6.6 g) were obtained.

Tetrahedron Vol. 48, No. 3, Pages 539-544, 1992 provides a process for the preparation of

(IS, 4S, 5S) -4-bromo-6-oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-7-one (I) which involves the addition of 1M solution of bromine in chloroform (30 mL) at 0°C to a solution of ( IS) -cyclohex-3 -ene- 1-carboxylic acid (0.024 mol) of formula (II) in chloroform (600 mL) in the presence of an equimolar amount of triethylamine (3.33 mL) . After work-up, the crude bromolactone obtained was recrystallized from petroleum ether.

However, bromination using bromine does not provide a pure product in good yield.

Heterocycles, Vol. 23, No. 8, Pages 2035-2039, 1985 provides a process for the 4-bromo-6-oxabicyclo [3.2.1] octan-7-one which involves the addition of cyclohex-3-ene-l-carboxylic acid (1.0 mM) in 1 , 2 -dimethoxyethane (2 mL) to a stirred solution of 90% Lead (IV) acetate (1.1 or 2.2 mM) in 1 , 2 -dimethoxyethane (4 mL) followed by the addition of Zinc bromide (2.2 mM) in 1 , 2 -dimethoxyethane (4 mL) and continuing the stirring for 10-30 minutes at 0°C . The reaction mixture was poured into a solution of ice-cold water (30 mL) and 10% hydrochloric acid (10 mL) , and extracted with ether (50 mL X 3) . The combined ether extract was washed successively with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (20 mL) , 10% sodium thiosulphate solution (5 mL) , and brine (10 mL) , and dried over sodium sulphate. Evaporation of the solvent gave crude lactone which were separated and purified (42% yield) . However, this reaction does not provide a pure product in good yield.

Heterocycles, Vol. 31, No. 6, Pages 987-991, 1990 provides a method for bromolactonization using a

dimethylsulfoxide-trimethylsilyl bromide-amine system. The bromolactonization is carried out for 10 to 72 hours using different solvents and triethylamine or diisopropylethyl amine as base. However, this process does not provide a product in high yield. Further the process afforded the cis isomer exclusively. Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1:

Organic and Bio-Organic Chemistry (1972-1999) (1994) , (7) , Pages 847-851 provides a method for bromolactonization using a

dimethylsulfoxide-trimethylsilyl bromide-amine system. The bromolactonization is carried out for 12 hours using

dimethylsulfoxide and chloroform solvent system and triethylamine or diisopropylethyl amine as base. However, this process resulted in a low yield of about 55%. Citation List

Edoxaban hydrochloride
CAS Number: 480448-29-1
Molecular Formula: C₂₄H₃₀ClN₇O₄S · HCl
Molecular Weight: 584.52 g.mol^-1

Edoxaban is reported to be a member of the so-called “Xaban-group” and as such to be a low molecular inhibitor of the enzyme factor Xa, participating in the blood coagulation system. Therefore, edoxaban is classified as an antithrombotic drug and its possible medical indications are reported to be treatment of thrombosis and thrombosis prophylaxis after orthopaedic operations, such as total hip replacement, as well as for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation, the prophylaxis of the acute coronary syndrome and the prophylaxis after thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

The IUPAC name for edoxaban is N’-(5-chloropyridin-2-yl)-N-[(15,2^,4S)-4- (dimethylcarbamoyl)-2-[(5-methyl-6,7-dihydro-4H-[l ,3]thiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine-2- carbonyl)amino]cyclohexyl]oxamide. The chemical structure of edoxaban is shown in the formula (1) below:

formula ( 1 ) While Edoxaban is reported to be soluble in strongly acidic aqueous solutions, its solubility is considered to be very low in neutral or alkaline aqueous media. EP 2 140 867 A 1 claims an edoxaban-containing pharmaceutical composition comprising a water-swelling additive and/or a sugar alcohol. Further, it is alleged that compositions comprising lactose or cornstarch do not have good dissolution properties. The claimed pharmaceutical compositions in EP 2 140 867 Al are considered to show good dissolution properties in a neutral aqueous medium as well. Tablets comprising said composition were produced by wet granulation. However, it turned out that prior art pharmaceutical formulations comprising edoxaban being suitable for oral administration are still improvable with regards to dissolution rate and bioavailability. Further, stability and content uniformity of the known formulations could be improved. Further, due to the intolerance of many people to sugar alcohol(s), such as sorbitol, the use of sugar alcohol(s) should be avoided.

A key advisory committee of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has voted in favour of licencing a copycat version of a biological drug. If approved, Sandoz’s Zarxio (filgrastim) would be the first ‘biosimilar’ drug available in the US.

read at……..http://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/2015/01/us-poised-approve-first-biosimilar-drug

On 7 January, the FDA’s Oncological Drugs Advisory Committee unanimously cleared Sandoz’ version of filgrastim – marketed as Neupogen by Amgen – for all five indications approved for the Amgen drug. The medication is used to prevent infection and low white blood cell counts caused by chemotherapy.

Filgrastim is a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) analog used to stimulate the proliferation and differentiation ofgranulocytes;^[1] it is a pharmaceutical analog of naturally occurring G-CSF. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology. The gene for human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is inserted into the genetic material of Escherichia coli. The G-CSF then produced byE. coli is different from G-CSF naturally made in humans.

Commercialization

Filgrastim is marketed under several brand names, including:

Apricus Biosciences is currently developing and testing a product under the brand name Nupen which can deliver filgrastim through the skin to improve post-chemotherapy recovery of neutrophil counts.

Therapeutic uses

Filgrastim is used to treat neutropenia,^[3] stimulating the bone marrow to increase production of neutrophils. Causes of neutropenia include chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation.

Filgrastim is also used to increase the number of hematopoietic stem cells in the blood before collection by leukapheresis for use in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Mechanism of Action: Filgrastim is a human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) produced by recombinant DNA technology. G-CSF regulates the production of neutrophils within the bone marrow; endogenous G-CSF is a glycoprotein produced by monocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells.

G-CSF is a colony stimulating factor which has been shown to have minimal direct in vivo or in vitro effects on the production of other haematopoietic cell types.NEUPOGEN (filgrastim) is the name for recombinant methionyl human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (r-metHuG-CSF). ref: [1]

Contraindications

Filgrastim should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived proteins.

Adverse effects

The most commonly observed adverse effect is mild-to-moderate bone pain after repeated administration and local skin reactions at the site of injection.^[4] Other observed adverse effects include serious allergic reactions (including a rash over the whole body, shortness of breath, wheezing, dizziness, swelling around the mouth or eyes, fast pulse, and sweating), ruptured spleen (sometimes resulting in death), alveolar hemorrhage, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and hemoptysis.^[4] Severe sickle cell crises, in some cases resulting in death, have been associated with the use of filgrastim in patients with sickle cell disorders.^[5]

Interactions

Drug interactions between filgrastim and other drugs have not been fully evaluated. Drugs which may potentiate the release of neutrophils‚ such as lithium‚ should be used with caution.

Increased hematopoietic activity of the bone marrow in response to growth factor therapy has been associated with transient positive bone imaging changes; this should be considered when interpreting bone-imaging results.^[6]

Filgrastim has not been studied in pregnant women and its effects on the foetus is unknown. If taking filgrastim while pregnant, it is possible that traces of the drug could be found in the baby’s blood. It is not known if the drug can get into human breast milk.

Dorzolamide (trade name Trusopt) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It is an anti-glaucoma agent, and acts by decreasing the production of aqueous humour.^[1] It is optically applied in the form of a 2% eye drops.^[2]

History

This drug, developed by Merck, was the first drug in human therapy (market introduction 1995) which resulted from structure-baseddrug design. It was developed to circumvent the systemic side effects of acetazolamide which has to be taken orally.^[2]

Uses

Dorzolamide hydrochloride is used to lower increased intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Pharmacodynamics

It lowers IOP by about 20%.^[2]

Side effects

Ocular stinging, burning, itching and bitter taste.^[2] it causes shallowing of the anterior chamber and leads to transient Myopia.

Dorzolamide Hydrochloride and its derivatives is known. U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,968 describes preparation of Dorzolamide HCl starting from chiral 5,6-dihydro-4-(S)-hydroxy-6-(S)-methyl-4H-thiopyran-7,7-dioxide, as depicted in scheme 1:

The process described in BP 0 296 879 (equivalent of U.S. Pat. No. 4,797,413) is of particular relevance. EP 0 296 879 describes the synthesis of Dorzolamide Hydrochloride starting from thiophene-2-thiol as depicted in scheme 2 and 3

The process described in EP 0,296,879 (scheme 2) has the following disadvantages: (a) The starting material Thiophene-2-thiol is unstable and undergoes oxidation to form disulfide, leading to lower yield of viii; (b) the yield of sulfonamide (xii) from sulphonic acid (x) is very poor (35%) and requires use of 18-crown-6 ether, which is expensive; (c) oxidation of alcohol (xiii) to sulfone is carried out using oxone which is expensive and hazardous; and separation of cis/trans isomer is done by column chromatography which is industrially inconvenient.

The invention provides a process for preparing 5,6-dihydro-4-(S)-(ethylamino)-6-(S)methyl-4H-thieno[2,3b]thiopyran-2-sulphonamide-7,7-dioxide hydrochloride of formula (I), comprising of nine steps, as depicted in scheme 4 below:

Example 9Preparation of 5,6 dihydro-4H-4-(S)-ethylamino-6-(S)-methylthieno[2,3-b]thiopyran-2-sulfonamide-7,7 dioxide Hydrochloride (I)

A mixture of compound from example 8 (15 gm0.0462 mole) and di-p-toluyl-D-tartaric acid monohydrate (4.55 gm, 0.01125 mole) in n-propanol (1600 ml) was heated to boiling and hot solution filtered through a filter-aid pad with a layer of charcoal. The filtrate was concentrated by boiling to a volume of about (400 ml) and then allowed to crystallize. After standing overnight the crystals were filtered off and material recrystallized twice more from n-propanol (400 ml) to yield a 2:1 salt of free base to acid. Combined mother liquors from this recrystallization were saved for stage B. The salt was then treated with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and mid extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extract were dried, filtered and concentrated to dryness to yield (3.2 gm) of freebase. The hydrochloride salt was prepared from 5,6 N HCl ethanol and crystallized from methanol-isopropanol to yield (2.83 gm) of (+) isomer, SOR 8.23 (C 0.9 methanol) M.P. 283-285° C. The combine mother liquor was treated with saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic exacts were dried, filtered and concentrated to dryness. The residue was treated with di-p-toluyl-L-tartaric acid monohydrate (4.55 gm, 0.01125 mole) in n-propanol (1600 ml) and the isomer separated by the process described previously to give title compound (I) (3.75 gm, 22.48%) SOR=−8.34 (C 1, Methaol) M.P. 283 to 285° C.,

Dorzolamide is chemically termed as (4S,6S)-4-(ethylamino)-5,6-dihydro-6-methyl-4H- thieno[2,3-/?]thiopyran-2-sulfonamide 7,7-dioxide hydrochloride. Dorzolamide hydrochloride is represented by following structural Formula I:

HN ^‘CH,

Formula I

Dorzolamide hydrochloride is known to be a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor useful in the treatment of ocular hypertension.

A process for the preparation of dorzolamide and its derivatives was first described in EP 0296879. The process of particular relevance is depicted in scheme 1. Scheme 1

(viϋ) (ix) Trans and Cis (x)

Trans (xi) Trans(+) (xii) ( I )

The process disclosed in scheme 1 has following disadvantages.

(a) The reduction of the ketone of sulfonamide (vi) using absolute ethanol is carried out at reflux and then stirred at room temperature for several hours to complete the reaction. This longer duration of reaction produces many impurities.

(b) Oxidation of alcohol (vii) to sulfone (viii) is carried out using oxone. The oxone has many disadvantages such as it is irritating to the eyes, skin, nose and throat. It should be used with adequate ventilation and exposure to its dust should be minimized. Traces of heavy metal salts catalyze the decomposition of oxone. It is practically insoluble in all organic solvents hence a phase transfer catalyst is required.

(c) Activation of the 4-hydroxy group of the sulfoaminated hydroxysulfone (viii) and nucleophilic substitution by desired ethylamine, results in all diastereomeric products (x) i.e. trans and cis isomers, which must be separated by column chromatography and resolved, further using resolving agent. As a result, product loss is greater when the desired product is the more active enantiomer.

An alternate route for the preparation of dorzolamide hydrochloride by the Ritter reaction is disclosed in EP0296879 and consists of the treatment of a aliphatic hydroxyl with a nitrile and a strong acid to form an amide. The process disclosed is as depicted in Scheme 2.

Scheme 2

(viii) (ix-a ) Trans and Cis (x)

Trans(+) (xii)

Trans (+/-) (xi) ( I )

The reaction involves conversion of hydroxysulfones (viii) to the corresponding acetoamidosulfones (ix-a) with retention of configuration followed by reduction of the amido group, chromatographic separation and resolution to obtain the desired trans isomer (I).

The prior art teaches the use of an excess quantity of sulfuric acid to carry out the Ritter reaction and hence a large quantity of ice is required for quenching the reaction mass. When the reaction mass in concentrated sulfuric acid comes into contact with ice, a large amount of localized heat is generated causing decomposition of material. Since a huge amount of water is required for quenching the reaction mass, the amount of ethyl acetate required for extraction is also substantially large. The work-up using water is not advisable nor applicable industrially.

United States Patent 5688968 describes an alternative route of preparation of dorzolamide hydrochloride starting from chiral 5,6-dihydro-4-(S)-hydroxy-6-(S)-methyl-4H-thiopyran-7,7- dioxide, as depicted in Scheme 3:

Scheme 3

(xiv) (XV)

(xiii)

(xvi) (xvii ) Trans:Cis:: 95: 5 (xviii)

HN CH,

(xix) ( I )

The process described in Scheme 3 has the following disadvantages: (a) Use of expensive chiral hydroxysulfone starting material. The process for the preparation of the chiral hydroxysulfone starting material is disclosed in U.S. Patents Nos. 5,157,129, 5,474,919 and 5,760,249. In these processes, the chiral hydroxysulfone is obtained by the asymmetric enzymatic reduction of the corresponding ketosulfone, or by cyclization of the chiral thienyl thiobutyric acid, obtained, in turn, from a chiral hydroxyester or lactone, and the subsequent stereospecific reduction of the resulting ketone, (b) The process according to this patent uses maleic acid to separate the undesired cis- isomer from dorzolamide. However this maleate salt formation to remove the cis isomer is only suitable when the ratio of trans/cis is greater than 95:5. That means, the maleate salt formation of dorzolamide does not the remove cis isomer exclusively when the cis isomer content is more than 5%. It sometimes requires repeated purification to achieve the desired chiral purity.

Another alternate route for the preparation of dorzolamide hydrochloride is disclosed in United States patent no.7109353 which involves the use of sodium perborate as an oxidant, as depicted in Scheme 4.

Scheme 4

chlorinating agent, cyclinization

Vl IV

VIl VlIl IX

The process disclosed in Scheme 4 has following disadvantages (a) Conversion of (i) to (ii) requires the mixture to be refluxed for 18-20 hrs which is time consuming and may cause impurity in the product.

(b) As the process uses the Ritter reaction to convert (vi) to (vii), a large amount of water is required to quench the hot mass of reaction which is not practical in an industrial set-up. (c) Sodium perborate is used as an oxidizing agent to convert (v) to (vi), which has got bleaching properties, and the handling of it may be injurious when done so for a prolonged period.

Yet another process for the preparation of dorzolamide is disclosed in United States publication no. 20060155132 which involves protecting the chiral 5,6-dihydro-4-(R)- hydroxy-6-(S)-methyl-4H-thieno-[2,3-b]thiopyran-7,7-dioxide as depicted in Scheme 5.

Scheme 5

protected amination benzyl sulphonyl chloride

The process disclosed in Scheme 5 has the following disadvantages, (a) The conversion process of compound (II) to (III) requires a very low temperature which ranges from -30° to 0⁰C. (b) The amination process requires 16- 20 hrs, which is time consuming and may cause impurity in the product. All these disadvantages of the prior art are overcome by the process in accordance with the present invention.

Dorzolamide hydrochloride, known chemically as 5,6-dihydro-4-(S)-ethylamino-6-(S)-methyl-4H-thieno-[2,3-b]thiopyran-2-sulfonamide-7,7-dioxyde hydrochloride, is a topically effective carbonic anhydrase inhibitor useful in the treatment of ocular hypertension.

Dorzolamide hydrochloride has the structure of Formula I:

U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,677,155 and 4,797,413 disclose Dorzolamide. In the prior art synthesis of dorzolamide, a chiral hydroxysulfone is used as a starting material. The chiral hydroxysulfone starting material can be obtained using the processes disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,157,129, 5,474,919, and 5,760,249. In the disclosed processes, the chiral hydroxysulfone is obtained by the asymmetric enzymatic reduction of the corresponding ketosulfone, or by cyclization of the chiral thienyl thiobutyric acid, obtained, in turn, from a chiral hydroxyester or lactone, and the subsequent stereospecific reduction of the resulting ketone.

Processes for the preparation of dorzolamide hydrochloride are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,797,413, 5,157,129, and 5,688,968 and in U.S. patent application Publication Ser. No. 2003/0220509. The disclosed processes involve conversion of a hydroxysulfone to the corresponding acetamidosulfone by a Ritter reaction with retention of configuration, followed by introduction of a sulfonamido group, and the subsequent reduction of the amido group to an amine, providing the desired product.

The process disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,797,413 includes activation of the 4-hydoxy group of the sulfonaminated hydroxysulfone with tosyl chloride and the introduction of the desired alkylamino group by nucleophilic substitution, resulting in all diastereomeric products, which must be separated and resolved. As a result, at least 75 percent of the product is lost when the desired product is the more active enantiomer.

EXAMPLE 2

Preparation of 5,6-dihydro-4-(S)-ethylamino-6-(S)-methyl-4H-thieno-[2,3-b]thiopyran 7,7-dioxide hydrochloride salt (Formula IV)

Tetrahydrofuran (50 l) and triethyl amine (4.8 l) are added to 4-(R)-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-6-(S)-methyl-4H-thieno[2,3b]thiopyran-7,7-dioxide (5 Kg) and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The solution is cooled to −10° C. Benzylsulfonyl chloride (5.4 Kg) solved in THF (15 l) is added to the DRZ-19 THF solution in portions while maintaining the temperature below 0° C. The feeding funnel is washed with THF (2 l). The reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 2-4 hours. The formed TEA HCl is filtered and the cake is washed with THF (2×10 l) Ethylamine in THF (30%, 63.7 l) is added to the filtrate and the reaction mixture is stirred at 20°-25° C. for 16 hours.

Ethyl acetate is evaporated from the filtrate at 38°±2° C. under vacuum. The residue is heated to 38°±2° C., washed with toluene (3×37.5 l) at this temperature. Water (25 l) is added to the aqueous phase, cooled to 20°-25° C. and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×75 l, 37.5 l, and 37.5 l). The collected ethyl acetate phase is concentrated to ˜100 l at 38°±2° C. under vacuum. The residue is cooled to 20°-25° C. and hydrogen chloride in ethanol (5%, 10.8 l) is added to it during stirring. The formed slurry is stirred for 1 hour at 20°-25° C. then cooled to 0°-4° C. and stirred for 5 hours at this temperature. The slurry is filtered, the precipitated HCl salt is washed with ethyl acetate (2×20 l) and dried at 55°-60° C. under vacuum for 4-8 hours to give Dorzolamide hydrochloride salt (˜2 Kg).

Crude Dorzolamide hydrochloride salt (9 Kg) is solved in water (225 l) at 20°-25° C. and the pH is set to 8.0-8.5 by addition of 25% of aqueous ammonia (2 l). The formed slurry is extracted with ethyl acetate (5×72 l). The collected ethyl acetate phase is concentrated to 180 l by vacuum distillation. The residue is cooled to 20°-25° C., ethyl acetate (45 l) and hydrogen chloride in ethanol (5%, 22.5 l) are added to it during stirring (pH:˜1.0).

Reaction of (I) with acetic anhydride-sulfuric acid in methylene chloride provided the sulfonic acid in 98% yield. Conversion to the sulfonyl chloride with phosphorous pentachloride in methylene chloride followed by treatment with aqueous ammonia gave the sulfonamide (II). Reduction of the carbonyl function with sodium borohydride and oxidation of the thiopyran sulfur with Oxone(R) yielded (IV). The 4-hydroxy substituent was converted to the acetylamino functionality under Ritter conditions. Reduction of (V) with borane-dimethylsulfide complex yielded (VI) as a mixture of diasteriomers. Chromatography on silica gel gave the trans-racemate, which was resolved into its individual enantiomers through the di-p-toluoyl-L-tartaric acid salt. The absolute configuration of the S,S-enantiomer, MK-507, was established by single crystal X-ray analysis.

//////////A new synthesis of MK-0507 has been described: The condensation of 3(R)-(tosyloxy)butyric acid methyl ester (I) with lithium 2-thienylmercaptide (II) in formamide-THF gives 3(S)-(2-thienylthio)butyric acid methyl ester (III), which is hydrolyzed with aqueous HCl to the corresponding free acid (IV). The intramolecular Friedel-Crafts’cyclization of (IV) with trifluoroacetic anhydride yields 6(S)-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-thieno[2,3-b]thiopyran-4-one (V), which is reduced with LiAlH4 in toluene to afford 4(R)-hydroxy-6(S)-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-thieno[2,3-b]thiopyran (VI). Epimerization of (VI) with sulfuric acid gives the alcohol (VII) in a cis:trans ratio of 24:76%. Oxidation of (VII) with H2O2 and sodium tungstate yields the 7,7-dioxide (VIII; cis-trans mixture), which is acetylated with acetic anhydride to the acetate (IX). The reaction of (IX) with acetonitrile and sulfuric acid affords N-[6(S)-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-thieno[2,3-b]thiopyran-4-yl]acetamide 7,7-dioxide (X; cis-trans mixture), which is sulfonated with chlorosulfonic acid and then treated with SOCl2 to give 4-acetamide-6(S)-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-thieno[2,3-b]thiopyran-2-sulfonyl chloride 7,7-dioxide (XI; cis-trans mixture). The reaction of (XI) with concentrated aqueous NH4OH in THF yields the corresponding sulfonamide (XII), which by reduction with BH3-dimethylsulfide in THF affords 4-(ethylamino)-6(S)-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-thieno[2,3-b]thiopyran-2-sulfonamide 7,7-dioxide (XIII; cis-trans mixture). Finally, this mixture is treated with maleic acid in acetone and the resulting maleates are submitted to fractionated crystallization, giving the maleate of the (4S,6S)-isomer, which is treated first with NaHCO3 and then with HCl to give MK-0507; [alpha](25)589 -17.1 C (c 1, H2O).

The condensation of 6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole (I) with Meldrum’s acid (II) and acetaldehyde (III) catalyzed by L-proline in acetonitrile gives the adduct (IV), which is treated with Cu and ethanol in refluxing pyridine to yield 3-(6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)butyric acid ethyl ester (V). The reaction of (V) with hydrazine at 140 C affords the hydrazide (VI), which is treated with NaNO2 and Ac-OH to provide the corresponding azide that, without isolation, is thermolyzed and rearranged in toluene at 80?C to give 7-chloro-6-methoxy-4-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-one (VII). The cleavage of the lactam ring of (VII) with KOH in refluxing ethanol/water yields 3-(2-amino-1-methylethyl)-6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (VIII). The decarboxylation of (VIII) by means of refluxing aq. 3M HCl affords 3-(2-amino-1-methylethyl)-6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole (IX), which is finally acylated with acetic anhydride and pyridine in toluene to provide the target 6-chloromelatonin as a racemic compound.

The intermediate diazonium salt (XIII) has been obtained as follows: the hydrogenation of 3-chloro-4-methoxynitrobenzene (XI) with H2 over Pt/Al2O3 in toluene gives the corresponding aniline (XII), which is diazotized with NaNO2/HCl and treated with sodium tetrafluoroborate to yield the target diazonium salt intermediate (XIII). The reduction of pulegone (I) with H2 over Pd/C gives the menthol (II), which is oxidized with CrO3/H2SO4 to yield 3(R),7-dimethyl-6-oxooctanoic acid (IV), which can also be obtained by direct oxidation of (l)-menthol (III) under the same conditions. The oxidation of (IV) with trifluoroperacetic acid (trifluoroacetic anhydride/H2O2) in dichloromethane yields the 3(R)-methylhexanedioic acid isopropyl monoester (V), which is treated with NaOEt in ethanol to obtain the corresponding ethyl monoester (VI). The reaction of (VI) with diethyl carbonate, EtONa, and “Adogen 464″ (a phase transfer catalyst) in ethanol affords 5,5-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-3(S)-methylpentanoic acid (VII), which is treated with oxalyl chloride to provide the expected acyl chloride (VIII). The reaction of (VIII) with sodium azide and benzyl alcohol gives the intermediate azide that rearranges to the benzyl carbamate (IX). The reductive cyclization of (IX) with H2 over Pd/C in ethanol yields 5(R)-methyl-2-oxopiperidine-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (X), which is condensed with the intermediate diazonium salt (XIII) to afford the hydrazono derivative (XIV). The cyclization of (XIV) in hot formic acid provides 7-chloro-6-methoxy-4(R)-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-one (XV), which is treated with KOH In refluxing ethanol/water to cleave the lactam ring, yielding 3-(2-amino-1(R)-methylethyl)-6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (XVI). The decarboxylation of (XVI) by means of refluxing 3M HCl affords 3-(2-amino-1(R)-methylethyl)-6-chloro-5-methoxy-1H-indole (XVII), which is finally acylated with Ac2O and pyridine in toluene to provide the target 6-chloromelatonin as a pure enantiomer.

Melatonin MT2 Agonists

Takeda……..innovator

Treatment of Sleep Disorders,

• Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), which is a hormone synthesized and secreted principally in the pineal gland, increases in dark circumstances and decreases in light circumstances. Melatonin exerts suppressively on pigment cells and the female gonads, and acts as a synchronous factor of biological clock while taking part in transmittance of photoperiodic code. Therefore, melatonin is expected to be used for the therapy of diseases related with melatonin activity, such as reproduction and endocrinic disorders, sleep-awake rhythm disorders, jet-lag syndrome and various disorders related to aging, etc.
• Recently, it has been reported that the production of melatonin melatonin could reset the body’s aging clock (see Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci., Vol. 719, pp. 456-460 (1994)). As previously reported, however, melatonin is easily metabolized by metabolic enzymes in vivo (see Clinical Examinations, Vol. 38, No. 11, pp. 282-284 (1994)). Therefore, it cannot be said that melatonin is suitable as a pharmaceutical substance.

Rupatadine

Platelet activating factor receptor antagonist; Histamine H1 receptor antagonist

Allergic rhinitis; Urticaria

Uriach developed and launched rupatadine for treating of allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Family members of the product case EP577957, have SPC protection in the EU until 2016.

As of January 2015, Newport Premium™ reports that Cadila Pharmaceuticals is producing or capable of producing commercial quantities of rupatadine fumarate and holds an active USDMF since September 2012.

Rupatadine is a second generation antihistamine and PAF antagonist used to treat allergies. It was discovered and developed by J. Uriach y Cia, S. A.^[1] and is marketed under several trade names such as Rupafin, Alergoliber, Rinialer, Pafinur, Rupax and Ralif.

Therapeutic indications approved

Rupatadine fumarate has been approved for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria in adults and children over 12 years. The defined daily dose (DDD) is 10 mg orally.

Available form

Rupatadine is available as round, light salmon coloured tablets containing 10 mg of rupatadine (as fumarate) to be administered orally, once a day.

Side effects

Rupatadine is a non-sedating antihistamine. However, as in other non sedating second-generation antihistamines, the most common side effects in controlled clinical studies were somnolence, headaches and fatigue.

Mechanism of action

Rupatadine is a second generation, non-sedating, long-acting histamine antagonist with selective peripheral H₁ receptor antagonist activity. It further blocks the receptors of the platelet-activating factor (PAF) according to in vitro and in vivo studies.^[2]

Rupatadine possesses anti-allergic properties such as the inhibition of the degranulation of mast cells induced by immunological and non-immunological stimuli, and inhibition of the release of cytokines, particularly of the TNF in human mast cells and monocytes.^[3]

Pharmacokinetics

Rupatadine has several active metabolites such as desloratadine, 3-hydroxydesloratadine, 6-hydroxydesloratadine and 5-hydroxydesloratadine.

History

Rupatadine discovery, pre-clinical and clinical development was performed by J. Uriach y Cia, S. A., a Spanish pharmaceutical company. It was launched in 2003 in Spain by J. Uriach y Cia, S. A., with the brand name of Rupafin. The registration of the product is approved in 23 countries from the EU, 8 Central American countries, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Turkey and 14 African countries.

Efficacy in humans

The efficacy of rupatadine as treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) has been investigated in adults and adolescents (aged over 12 years) in several controlled studies, showing a rapid onset of action and a good safety profile even in prolonged treatment periods of a year.^[3][4][5]

• Rupatadine (I) is an authorized antihistaminic agent and has IUPAC name 8-Chloro-6,11-dihydro-11-[1-[(5-methyl-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-4-piperidinylidene]-5H-benzo[5,6]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine, CAS number 158876-82-5 for the free base and the following chemical formula:
• Rupatadine is currently marketed in 10 mg (rupatadine) tablets as rupatadine fumarate (CAS 182349-12-8 for the fumarate salt) for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and urticaria in adults and teenagers.
• Rupatadine free base was first disclosed in EP0577957 .
• Spanish patent application ES2087818 discloses the monofumarate salt of rupatadine (i.e. rupatadine fumarate) and aqueous liquid pharmaceutical compositions of rupatadine fumarate. In particular, this document discloses a syrup containing rupatadine fumarate at 4 g/L, sucrose, a flavouring agent, a sweetening agent and water; and a solution for injection which contains rupatadine fumarate at 20 g/L, benzyl alcohol, propyleneglycol and water.
• EP0577957 discloses some liquid pharmaceutical compositions of rupatadine free base; compound 4 in EP0577957 is rupatadine free base. The formulations disclosed therein are identical to those disclosed in ES2087818 but rupatadine free base is used instead of rupatadine fumarate.
• Despite the aqueous liquid pharmaceutical compositions disclosed in EP0577957 and ES2087818 , the inventors have found that the solubility in water of rupatadine fumarate is 2.9 g/L (see Reference example 1) and therefore these prior art formulations may have stability problems due to supersaturation of rupatadine free base or rupatadine fumarate and would not be suitable for use as a medicament.
• CN101669901 and CN101669926 disclose liquid formulations of rupatadine free base using cyclodextrins to dissolve rupatadine.
• CN101669901 is directed to liquid formulations of rupatadine free base for ophthalmic delivery comprising rupatadine, a solvent and a cyclodextrin.
• CN10169926 is directed to liquid formulations of rupatadine free base for nasal delivery comprising rupatadine, a solvent and a cyclodextrin. It is stated that rupatadine has low solubility in water (1.39 mg/mL to 0.82 mg/mL at pH 3.0 to 7.0, table 9 in CN10169926 ) and the problem of its low solubility is solved using cyclodextrins (tables 10-12 of CN10169926 ) in order to obtain liquid formulations.

The reaction of 2-cyano-3-methylpyridine (I) with H2SO4 in t-BuOH gives the N-tert-butylamide (II), which is treated with two equivalents of BuLi and the corresponding dianion alkylated with 3-chlorobenzyl chloride to afford amide (III). The treatment of (III) with POCl3 gives nitrile (IV) which is cyclized to ketone (V) by subsequent treatment with CF3SO3H and aqueous HCl. Reaction of ketone (V) with the Grignard derivative prepared from chloride (VI) affords alcohol (VII) which is finally dehydrated by H2SO4 to give UR-12592 (1), as shown in Scheme 20491401a. The key intermediate (VI) is synthesized through the condensation of 5-methylnicotinic acid (VIII) with 4-hydroxypiperidine by means of DCC in DMF to give amide (IX), followed by reduction with POCl3 and NaBH4 to give the amino alcohol (X) which is treated with SOCl2.

PSORIAIS

secukinumab

Secukinumab is a human monoclonal antibody designed for the treatments of uveitis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriasis. It targets member A from the cytokine family of interleukin 17.^[1][2] At present, Novartis Pharma AG, the drug’s developer, plans to market it under the trade name “Cosentyx.” ^[3] It is highly specific to the human immunoglobulin G1k (IgG1k) subclass.^[2]

In July 2014 secukinumab established superiority to placebo and to etanercept for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis in Phase III clinical trials.^[4] In October 2014, the FDA Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Drugs Advisory Committee unanimously voted to recommend the drug for FDA approval, although this vote in and of itself does not constitute an approval. However, the FDA typically follows recommendations from these committees.^[5] In October 2014, Novartis announced that the drug had achieved a primary clinical endpoint in two phase III clinical trials for ankylosing spondylitis.^[6] As of 28 October, the relevant FDA committee had not yet responded to these results. In early November 2014, Novartis also released the results of a Phase 3 study on Psoriatic Arthritis that yielded very promising results.^[7]

Although the drug was originally intended to treat rheumatoid arthritis, phase II clinical trials for this condition yielded disappointing results.^[8] Similarly, while patients in a phase II clinical trial for [psoriatic arthritis] did show improvement over placebo, the improvement did not meet adequate endpoints and Novartis is considering whether to do more research for this condition.^[9] Novartis has said that it is targeting approval and release in early 2015 for plaque psoriasis and ankyloding spondylitis indications.

It is also in a phase II clinical trial for Multiple Sclerosis ^[10] as it has exhibited efficacy in treating experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of MS.
