Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist

phase III in January 2016, for treating diabetic kidney disease and chronic heart failure in patients with worsening chronic cardiac insufficiency

Used as mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist for treating heart failure and diabetic nephropathy.

SYNTHESIS

Finerenone (INN, USAN) (developmental code name BAY-94-8862) is a non-steroidal antimineralocorticoid that is in phase IIIclinical trials for the treatment of chronic heart failure as of October 2015. It has less relative affinity to other steroid hormone receptors than currently available antimineralocorticoids such as eplerenone and spironolactone, which should result in fewer adverse effects like gynaecomastia, impotence, and low sex drive.^[1][2]

Pharmacology

Finerenone blocks mineralocorticoid receptors, which makes it a potassium-sparing diuretic.

This table compares inhibitory (blocking) concentrations (IC₅₀, unit: nM) of three antimineralocorticoids. Mineralocorticoid receptor inhibition is responsible for the desired action of the drugs, whereas inhibition of the other receptors potentially leads to side effects. Lower values mean stronger inhibition.^[1]

The above-listed drugs have insignificant affinity for the estrogen receptor.

Chemistry

Unlike currently marketed antimineralocorticoids, finerenone is not a steroid but a dihydropyridine derivative.

Research

The drug is also being investigated in early trials for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.^[3]

Abstract

Aldosterone is a hormone that exerts manifold deleterious effects on the kidneys, blood vessels, and heart which can lead to pathophysiological consequences. Inhibition of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a proven therapeutic concept for the management of associated diseases. Use of the currently marketed MR antagonists spironolactone and eplerenone is restricted, however, due to a lack of selectivity in spironolactone and the lower potency and efficacy of eplerenone. Several pharmaceutical companies have implemented programs to identify drugs that overcome the known liabilities of steroidal MR antagonists. Herein we disclose an extended SAR exploration starting from cyano-1,4-dihydropyridines that were identified by high-throughput screening. Our efforts led to the identification of a dihydronaphthyridine, BAY 94-8862, which is a potent, selective, and orally available nonsteroidal MR antagonist currently under investigation in a clinical phase II trial.

The present invention relates to a novel and improved process for preparing 4- (4-Cyano-2-methoxyphenyl) -5-ethoxy-2,8-dimethyl-1, 4-dihydro- 1, 6-naphthyridine-3-carbox- amide of formula (I)

as well as the preparation and use of crystalline modification I of (4S) – 4- (4-Cyano-2-methoxyphenyl) -5-ethoxy-2,8-dimethyl-1, 4-dihydro- 1, 6-naphthyridine-3- carbox-amide of formula (I).

The compound of formula (I) acts as a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist and can be used as agents for the prophylaxis and / or treatment of cardiovascular and renal diseases such as heart failure and diabetic nephropathy.

The compound of formula (I) and their preparation process are described in WO 2008/104306 and ChemMedChem 2012 7, described in 1385, in both publications a detailed discussion of research synthesis is disclosed. A disadvantage of the synthesis described there is the fact that this synthesis is not suitable for another large-scale process, since many steps in very high dilution, at very high reagent surpluses and thus run on a relatively low overall yield. Furthermore, many chromatographic cleanings are necessary, which are usually very expensive and require a high consumption of solvents, are costly and which should therefore be avoided if possible.Some stages can not be realized due to safety and procedural difficulties.

There is therefore a need for an industrially viable synthesis, reproducible in high overall yield, low production costs and high purity provides the compound of formula (I) and complies with all regulatory requirements in order to supply the clinical trials on drug and for subsequent regulatory submission to be used.

With the present invention a very efficient synthesis has been found, which allows to meet the above requirements.

In the publication ChemMedChem 2012 7, in which the research synthesis of the compound of formula (I) disclosed in 1385, the compound of formula (I), starting from vanillin prepared in 10 steps with an overall yield of 3.76% of theory , The compound of formula (I) was obtained by evaporation of the chromatography fractions as an amorphous solid, a defined process Kristalhsations- the stage for polymorphism-setting has not been described.

The following Scheme 1 shows the known process for preparing the compound of formula (I).

(II) (HI) (IV)

(V) (VI)

(XIII) (I)

Scheme 1: synthesis research of the compound of formula (I)

There are used 3 chromatographic purifications, and a chiral chromatography step to separate the enantiomers of the racemate of formula (XIII). The steps run partially in very high dilution and using very large amounts of reagent.

Thus, in particular the sequence of the preparation of the nitrile aldehyde intermediate (VI), which occupies a central role in the synthesis of atom not economically acceptable.

Furthermore, not to apply this process to an industrial scale, since [=> (IV) (III)] and excesses of acrylic acid tert-butyl ester are used for a very expensive reagents such as trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride. When upscaling the Heck reaction (IV) => (V) formed in the boiler, a plastic similar residue resulting from the polymerization of acrylic acid tert.butyl ester used in excess. This is not acceptable in the technical implementation, there is a risk that there may be a Rührerbruch and it would lead to strong to remove residues in the agitators.

The subsequent cleavage of the double bond with sodium and the highly toxic osmium tetroxide is to be avoided since there is a delay of reaction and thereby caused to a strongly exothermic and connected with that comes a runaway under the test conditions described.

Scheme 2 illustrates the new process of the invention that the compound of formula (I) in 9 levels in 27.7% d. Th. Total yield without a chromatographic

Purification of intermediates supplies.

The present invention relates to novel hydrates of sodium dolutegravir and their methods of preparation. In addition, the invention relates to a novel crystalline form of sodium dolutegravir, which is a useful intermediate for the preparation of one of the new hydrates. The invention also relates to the use of the new hydrates for the production of pharmaceutical compositions.

Finally, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective amount of the novel hydrates, oral dosage forms comprising these pharmaceutical compositions, a process for preparing said oral dosage forms, and the use of such pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms in the treatment of retroviral infections such as HIV infections -1.

Dolutegravir, chemically designated (4f?, 12aS)-/V-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-7-hydroxy-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-3,4,6,8, 12, 12a-hexahydro-2H-pyrido[1 ‘,2’:4,5]pyrazino[2, 1- ?][1 ,3]oxazine-9-carboxamide, is a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1 ) integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) indicated in combination with other a nti retroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. The marketed finished dosage form (TIVICAY™) contains dolutegravir as its sodium salt, chemically denominated sodium (4f?,12aS)-9-((2,4-difluorobenzyl)carbamoyl)-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-3,4,6,8,12, 12a-hexahydro-2H-pyrido[1 ‘,2’:4,5]pyrazino[2, 1- ?][1 ,3]oxazin-7-olate, which is represented by the following general chemical formula (I):

(I)

WO 2010/068253 A1 discloses a monohydrate and an anhydrous form of dolutegravir sodium as well as a crystalline form of the free compound. Processes for the preparation of said forms are also provided in the application.

WO 2013/038407 A1 discloses amorphous dolutegravir sodium and processes for preparing the same.

Hydrates of pharmaceutical drug substances are of particular interest as they provide new opportunities for preparing novel pharmaceutical compositions with improved quality, activity and/or compliance. This is due to the fact that hydrates have different physicochemical properties compared to their anhydrous counterparts such as melting point, density, habitus, chemical and physical stability, hygroscopicity, dissolution rate, solubility, bioavailability etc., which influence the formulation process and also impact the final drug product.

If an anhydrous form is selected, phase changes during the formulation process induced by hydrate formation must be avoided. This can be particularly difficult if for example wet granulation is used with a substance that is able to form hydrates like dolutegravir sodium.

Hence, a stable hydrate of dolutegravir sodium would allow to easily formulate dolutegravir sodium in a controlled manner and subsequently also facilitate storage and packaging.

However, the so far known dolutegravir sodium monohydrate disclosed in WO 2010/068253 A1 shows excessive water uptake when exposed to moisture and on the other hand already dehydrates below 30% relative humidity.

Therefore, there is a need for hydrates of dolutegravir sodium with improved physicochemical properties, e.g. for hydrates which are stable over a broad humidity range, in particular for hydrates absorbing only low amounts of water at elevated humidity and on the other hand preserving their crystal structure also at dry conditions. In addition, there is a need for pharmaceutical compositions comprising these hydrates, and thus also for hydrates that allow for improved formulation of dolutegravir sodium in pharmaceutical compositions.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel hydrates of dolutegravir sodium and to processes for their preparation. Specifically, the present invention provides crystalline forms of dolutegravir sodium of formula (I) according to respective claims 1 , 5 and 6, with preferred embodiments being set forth in sub-claim 2. The present invention also provides processes for their preparation according to respective claims 3, 7 and 8, with preferred process embodiments being set forth in sub-claim 4. The present invention further provides the uses according to claims 9 and 16, and a pharmaceutical composition according to claim 10, and preferred embodiments thereof according to sub-claims 1 1 and 12. The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of the pharmaceutical composition according to claim

13, and preferred embodiments thereof according to sub-claim 14. The pharmaceutical composition for therapeutic use is set forth in claim 15.

The novel hydrates are physically and chemically stable over a broad humidity range, show only low water uptakes when exposed to moisture and are even stable at dry conditions. Therefore, the novel hydrates are especially suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions, e.g. in terms of time and costs.

In particular, it has been found that crystal Form HxA exhibits improved properties which allow for improved formulation of Form HxA in pharmaceutical compositions.

In addition, the present invention relates to a novel crystalline form of dolutegravir sodium, which, for the first time, allows the preparation of one of the novel hydrates and is therefore a valuable intermediate.

http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_05181_Revised-Ph.-Eur.-Chapter-on-Raman-Spectroscopy-introducing-PAT_15153,15386,Z-PDM_n.html

The revision of the General Ph. Eur. Chapter on Raman Spectroscopy (2.2.48) comes into operation on April 1, 2016.

The revised Chapter has been published in Ph. Eur. Supplement 8.7. It has been completely rewritten to include now available handheld devices and adaption to Process Analytical Technology (PAT). Raman Spectroscopy has received more and more attention in pharmaceutical industry. Hand-held instruments are suitable for rapid identification purposes for example in the incoming goods control of raw and packaging materials.

Hand-held instruments require different tolerances for wavenumber scale verification than benchtop models. Therefore, an inter-laboratory study was organized and the results have been published in a corresponding paper titled “Rationale for the update of the European Pharmacopoeia general chapter 2.2.48. Raman Spectroscopy” in Pharmeuropa Bio & Scientific Notes 2015.

In addition, the chapter has been revised to focus more on the potential use of Raman Spectroscopy in a PAT environment. Raman Spectrometry is increasingly used for PAT and chemical imaging applications. Therefore, a chapter on Chemical Imaging is also under elaboration. The draft chapter on Chemical Imaging will be published for public consultation in Pharmeuropa 28.2 (April 2016).

Ilaprazole (trade name Noltec) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease (PUD),gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD/GERD) and duodenal ulcer. It is available in strengths of 5, 10, and 20 mg.

Clinical studies show that ilaprazole is at least as potent a PPI as omeprazole when taken in equivalent doses. Studies also showed that ilaprazole significantly prevented the development of reflux oesophagitis.

Ilaprazole is developed by Il-Yang Pharmaceutical (Korea), and is still under clinical trials with US FDA. It has launched in Korea and China for the treatment of gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease and erosive esophagitis.^[1]

Ilaprazole is a substituted benzimidazole proton pump inhibitor first launched in 2008 by Livzon in China for the oral treatment of peptic ulcers. The compound was also being evaluated in early clinical trials at Il-Yang for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but no recent development has been reported. In 2009, development of the compound was discontinued by Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America for the treatment of esophagitis due to a phase II study which did not meet its predefined endpoint.

The drug has been shown to significantly inhibit acute gastric erosion induced by indomethacin, ethanol or stress, acute mepirizole induced duodenal ulcers, and to accelerate the healing of acetic acid induced chronic ulcers through a H+/K+-ATPase inhibition mechanism.

In September 2005, TAP (a joint venture established between Abbott and Takeda which was dissolved in 2008) and Il-Yang signed a license agreement, granting the latter development and distribution rights to the drug candidate worldwide outside of Korea and China.

Il-Yang Pharm. Co., Ltd., Korea has developed a Novel PPI, i.e. racemic 5-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)- 2[[(3-methyl-4-methoxy-2-Pyridyl)-methyl]sulfinyl]-benzimidaziole[1,2], which shows superior anti-ulcer effects as compared to Omeprazole in the treatment of GORD(gastro-oesophageal reflux diseases), gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer (KR 179,401 and US 5,703,097). Gastric and duodenal ulcers are a gastrointestinal disease caused by various factors such as mental stress, dietary habit, intake of irritable food, and the like. The direct cause of peptic ulcers is damage to the gastric membrane due to excessive secretion of gastric acid.

Since their introduction in the late 1980s, proton pump inhibitors have improved the treatment of various acid-related gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), ulcers, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced gastropathy. GERD encompasses three disease categories: non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), erosive esophagitis, and Barrett’s esophagus. ZES is caused by a gastrin-secreting tumor of the pancreas that stimulates the acid-secreting cells of the stomach to maximal activity. Proton pump inhibitors have also be used to treat ulcers such as duodenal, gastric, and NSAID-associated gastric/duodenal ulcers.

As antisecretory drugs, proton pump inhibitors are currently the recommended first line therapy, being viewed as more effective than other treatments. In general, proton pump inhibitors offer superior gastric acid suppression over histamine H2-receptor blockers. The use of proton pump inhibitors by patients who suffer from gastric acid-related disorders is generally believed to have led to an increase in their quality of life, productivity, and overall well being.

Proton pump inhibitors are also used to treat extra-esophageal manifestations of GERD (asthma, hoarseness, chronic cough, non-cardiac chest pain), and with antibiotics for Helicobacter pylori eradication. The goals of GERD management are threefold: prompt and sustained symptom control, healing of the injured esophageal mucosa and prevention of GERD-related complications (including stricture Formation, Barrett’s esophagus, and/or adenocarcinoma). Pharmacological therapy with proton pump inhibitors Forms the basis of both acute and long-term management of GERD. Proton pump inhibitors provide effective relief of symptoms and healing of the esophagitis, as well as sustaining long-term remission.

Although therapeutic efficacy is the primary concern for a therapeutic agent, the solid-state form, as well as the salt form, and the properties unique to the particular form of a drug candidate are often equally important to its development. Each solid state form (crystalline or amorphous) of a drug candidate can have different physical and chemical properties, for example, solubility, stability, or the ability to be reproduced. These properties can impact the ultimate pharmaceutical dosage form, the optimization of manufacturing processes, and absorption in the body. Moreover, finding the most adequate form for further drug development can reduce the term and the cost of that development.

Ilaprazole, 2[[(4-methoxy-3-methyl-2-pyridinyl)-methyl]sulfinyl]-5-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl) 1H-Benzimidazole, is a substituted benzimidazole that acts as a proton pump inhibitor. Ilaprazole selectively and irreversibly inhibits gastric acid secretion through inhibition of the hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+K+-ATPase) (proton pump) mechanism. Inhibition of the proton pump occurs by formation of disulfide covalent bonds with accessible cysteines on the enzyme. Ilaprazole has a prolonged duration of action that persists after their elimination from plasma. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,703,097 and 6,280,773, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Ilaprazole has the empirical formula C₁₉H₁₈N₄O₂S having a molecular weight of 366.44 daltons. Ilaprazole is a chiral molecule and has the following structural Formula (I):

Ilaprazole, like all proton pump inhibitors, possesses the unique feature of a chiral sulfur atom, S*. This can be depicted as follows with the lone pair of electrons on the chiral sulfur atom occupying one position in each stereoisomer, as shown below:

The absolute structure and absolute confirmation of (−)-S-ilaprazole was made through single crystal structure determination and is shown below. See Example 7 of co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 11/966,808 of Brackett et al. entitled, “Solid State Forms of Enantiopure Ilaprazole” filed Dec. 28, 2007, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

Thus, its complimentary enantiomer is (+)-R-ilaprazole, as shown below.

3-Methoxy-2-methylpyridine (VII), prepared by methylation of 2-methyl-3-pyridinol (VI), was converted to the N-oxide (VIII) employing peracetic acid. Nitration of the pyridine N-oxide (VIII) with concentrated nitric acid gave the 4-nitro derivative (IX). Subsequent displacement of the nitro group of (IX) by sodium methoxide led to the dimethoxypyridine N-oxide (X). Rearrangement of the N-oxide group of (X) in hot acetic anhydride produced the acetoxymethyl pyridine (XI). After basic hydrolysis of the acetate ester (XI), the resultant hydroxymethyl pyridine (XII) was chlorinated by SOCl2, yielding chloride (XIII). Condensation between mercapto benzimidazole (V) and the chloromethyl pyridine (XIII) in ethanolic NaOH led to the sulfide adduct (XIV). This was finally oxidized to the desired sulfoxide by using meta-chloroperbenzoic acid in CH2Cl2. The oxidation of sulfide (XIV) has also been performed employing sodium perborate, sodium percarbonate in the presence of ammonium molybdate, or tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of vanadyl acetylacetonate.

The synthesis of IY-81149 can be obtained according to Scheme 22875502a. The oxidation of 2,3-lutidine (I) with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid affords 2,3-dimethylpyridine-N-oxide (II), which is treated with sulfuric acid and nitric acid to give the corresponding nitro compound (III). The treatment of (III) with NaOH in methanol gives 2,3-dimethyl-4-methoxypyridine-N-oxide (IV), which is reacted with acetic acid and acetic anhydride and oxidized in refluxing NaOH, yielding 3-methyl-4-methoxypyridine-2-methanol (V). The chlorination of (V) with thionylchloride in CH2Cl2 affords 3-methyl-4-methoxy-2-chloromethylpyridine (VI). The reaction of 2-mercapto-5-nitrobenzimidazole (VII) with iron and concentrated HCl in refluxing ethanol and water gives monoamine (VIII), which by condensation with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran (IX) in acetic acid yields 2-mercapto-5-(1-pyrrolyl)benzimidazole (X). The condensation of (VI) with (X) by means of NaOH in methanol gives 2-[(4-methoxy-3-methyl-2-pyridinyl)methylsulfanyl]-5-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazole (XI), which is finally treated with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) in chloroform.

Ilaprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease and duodenal ulcer.

Ilaprazole is chemically known as 2-[[(4-methoxy-3-methyl-2-pyridinyl)methyl]sulfinyl]-6-(lH-pyrrol-l-yl)-lH-benzimidazole havin following structure

There are very few patent documents related to crystallization of ilaprazole.

The example 2 of Indian Patent No. 183088 describes crystallization of ilaprazole from mixture of ethyl acetate and ether.

Indian patent application No. 3607/DELNP/2009 discloses various crystalline forms: A, B, E, F, I of ilaprazole and process for their preparation. The crystalline form B of ilaprazole is obtained by crystallization from acetone/triethylamine in a refrigerator for 11 days. The form B is characterized by peaks at 12.6 and 18.1 degree 2Θ in X-ray powder differactogram.

Another Indian patent application No. 3634/DELNP/2009 discloses various solvates of ilaprazole, these are crystalline form C (1,4-dioxane hemisolvate), D (tetrahydrofuran hemisolvate), G (methanol solvate), K (hydrate) of ilaprzole and process for their preparation.

International Patent Publication No. WO 2011/071314 discloses process for the preparation of Form A and Form B. The process for the preparation of Form A involves conversion of ilaprazole to its inorganic salt followed by neutralization with suitable acid in a solvent. The process for preparation of Form B requires use of multiple solvents for the crystallization.

The earlier processes crystallization of ilaprazole has following disadvantages:

i) process is laborious due to concentration of solvent carried out several times;

ii) difficult to obtain the pharmaceutically acceptable purity; and

iii) time consuming.

The physical or chemical properties of a drug can vary depending on the crystalline form of the drug, and such physical and chemical properties can greatly influence a suitable dosage form of the drug, the optimization of a process for preparing the drug, and the in vivo absorption of the drug. The discovery of the most appropriate crystalline form of a drug in a procedure for developing the drug enables the development time and cost to be reduced.

Vasicine (peganine) is a quinazoline alkaloid. It is the active compound of Justicia adhatoda, after which the chemical is named.

Vasicine has been compared to theophylline both in vitro and in vivo.^[1] It has also been studied in combination with the related alkaloid vasicinone. Both the alkaloids in combination (1:1) showed pronounced bronchodilatory activity in vivo and in vitro.^[2] Both alkaloids are also respiratory stimulants.^[2] Vasicine has a cardiac–depressant effect, while vasicinone is a weak cardiac stimulant; the effect can be normalized by combining the alkaloids.^[2][3] Vasicine is reported to have a uterine stimulant effect.^[3]

Vasicine

1, 2, 3, 9-Tetrahydropyrrolo [2, 1-b] quinazoline-3-ol; (C₁₁H₁₂N₂O).

Isolation It is isolated from the leaves of Adhatoda vasica* and also from the seeds of Peganum harmala** by adopting the standard methods of isolation described earlier in this chapter.

Characteristic Features

dl-Form: 1. It is obtained as needles from ethanol having mp 210°C.

2. It sublimes on being subjected to high vacuum.
3. It is soluble in acetone, alcohol, chloroform; and slightly soluble in water, ether and

benzene.

l-Form: 1. It is obtained as needles from ethanol with mp 212°C.

2. Its specific rotation [α ]_D¹⁴-254⁰(C = 2.4 in CHCl₃); [α ]_D¹⁴–14  62° (C = 2.4 in ethanol).

2. Hydroiodide dihydrate derivative is formed as needles with mp 195°C (dry).
3. Methiodide derivative is obtained as needles from methanol having mp 187°C.
4. Acetyl vasicine derivative (C₁₁H₁₁N₂O COCH₃) is formed as crystals having mp 123°C and bp0.01 230-240°C.

Uses

1. It is mostly used as an expectorant and bronchodilator.
2. It also shows oxytocic properties very similar to those exhibited by oxytocin and methyl ergometrine.
3. Vasicine also shows abortifacient action which is due to the release of prostaglandins.

Biosynthesis of Vasicine Various studies in Peganum harmala have evidently revealed vasicine (peganine) to be derived from the anthranilic acid, while the remaining portion of the structure comprising of a pyrrolidine ring provided by ornithine. The probable mechanism of vasicine skeleton may be explained by virtue of the nucleophilic attack from the N-atom present in anthranilate upon the pyrrolidinium cation, ultimately followed by amide formation. However, interestingly this pathway is not being adopted in Justicia adhatoda.

ENJOY SOME ANIMATIONS

Nizatidine is a histamine H₂ receptor antagonist that inhibits stomach acid production, and is commonly used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease. It was developed by Eli Lilly and is marketed under the brand names Tazac and Axid.

Clinical use

Nizatidine is used to treat duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD/GORD), and to prevent stress ulcers.^[1]

Adverse effects

Side effects are uncommon, usually minor, and include diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, drowsiness, headache, and muscle aches.^[1]

History and development

Nizatidine was developed by Eli Lilly, and was first marketed in 1987. It is considered to be equipotent with ranitidine and differs by the substitution of a thiazole ring in place of the furan ring in ranitidine. In September 2000, Eli Lilly announced they would sell the sales and marketing rights for Axid to Reliant Pharmaceuticals.^[2] Subsequently, Reliant developed the oral solution of Axid, marketing this in 2004, after gaining approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).^[3] However, a year later, they sold rights of the Axid Oral Solution (including the issued patent^[4] protecting the product) to Braintree Laboratories.^[5]
Nizatidine proved to be the last new histamine H₂ receptor antagonist introduced prior to the advent of proton pump inhibitors.’

Nizatidine, the systematic chemical name of which is N-[2-[[[2-[ imemylammo)memyl]-4-tl iazolyl]memyl]mio]e yl]–N’- methyl-2-nitro-l,l-ethenecliamine, which has the formula (I).This compound is a histamine H₂-receptor antagonist which is useful as anti- ulcer agents capable of inmbiting gastric acid secretion in mammals.

United States Patent No. 4,375,547; 4587344, 4777260; 4,904,792 and 5334725 discloses Nizatidine and other related products. The synthesis of nizatidine disclosed in US patent No. 4,904,792 involves a multi-step process. The first step of the process comprises reacting dimethylaminotmoacetamide hydrochloride with ethyl bromopyruvate to obtain 2-(dinιethylaminon ethyl)-4-thiazolecarboxylate. Reduction of this 4- tbiazolecarboxylate derivative with lithium triethylborohydride gives 2-
(<-Umethylaminoπιethyl)-4-tI-ύazolenιethanol, which is then converted into 4- (2-ammoetϊhyl)ti omethyl-2-d by reacting with
2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride (cysteamine hydrochloride). This 2- ό-imetihylan-ιinoπιethylthiazol derivative is then converted into Nizatidine by reacting _.with N-met-hyl-l-methyltHo-2-mt-coet-hyleneamine in the presence of an acid United States Patent No. 4,382,090 describes a method to prepare 4-
(2-aminoethyl)tMome1_hyl-2-din ethylaminon etihyltl iazol by fusing 4- cmoronιe yl-2-d- nethylaminonιet-hylthiazole with cysteamine hydrochloride at above 100 °C.
United States Patent No. 4,468,517 described a method to prepare 4- cldoronιethyl-2-<-ιimethylaminon et-hylt-lιiazole. The method described in this patent involved reaction of dimet-hylaminotmoacetamide hydrochloride with 1,3-dichloroacetone in haloalkane (1,2-dichloroethane) as a solvent to obta 4-cHoromethyl^-hydroxy-2-dimet^ This 2-thiazoline derivative is then dehydrated with a dehydrating agent like PC1₃, PBr₃, SOCl₂, POCl₃ etc., to get 4-chloromethyl-2- din etihyl-in monietihylthiazole.
European Patent Application EP 0,515,121 and EP 0,960,880 describe the process for the preparation of 2-(dim.et-hylarninomethyl)-4- thiazolemethanol. The process consists of reacting (-Umethylaminothioacetamide hydrochloride with 1,3-dichloroacetone in toluene to get 4-chlorometiιyl-4-hyαioxy-2-d-methylaminomethyl-2- thiazoline, which is then reacted with alkali metal base in an inert solvent such as toluene to get 2-(dimethylam-m.omethyl)-4-thiazolemethanol.
The methods described in United States Patent No. 4,468,517 for the synthesis of 4-chloromethyl-4-hy( oxy-2-dimethyl-ui-momethyl-2- thiazoline, requires complete evaporation of the solvent 1,2-dichloroethane to get the crude product; it is then washed with ethyl acetate to obtain a pure product. Evaporation of the solvent to complete dryness is an inconvenient and inappropriate operation in large-scale manufacturing. Such evapprations in large-scale operations would produce the solids as lumps; further washing such lumps with solvents would be ineffective due to improper -mixing of -the solid -with solvent. The method described in EP 0,515,121 and EP 0,960,880 for the synthesis of 4-cHorometlιyl-4-hyc oxy*-2-α_im requires isolation of the product from the reaction mixture by precipitation of the product from the mother liquor by the addition of petroleum ether. The crude product obtained by the precipitation is then subjected to an additional purification step by crystallisation from toluene.
A number of procedures are described for the preparation of dimethylammotmoacetamide. Examples are Japanese Patent No. JP 62,273,948, JP 62,273,949, JP 02,264,755 and Org. Prep. Proced. Int., 1992, 24, P.66-7. All the procedures described in the literature- or the preparation of dirnethylaminotitioacetamide from dimethylam oacetomtrile involve the use of hydrogen sulfide under pressure in the presence of promoters or catalysts. The disadvantage with the use of hydrogen sulfide is the difficulty it poses in handling commercial quantities, as it is a very toxic gas. The object of the present invention is to provide an improved manufactxiring process for 4-chloromethyl-4-hydr xy-2- di–netihylam omethyl-2-tibiazoline..

The reaction mixture is further gradually heated to 60-65° C and maintained at this temperature till qualitative HPLC analysis shows the completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture is then cooled slowly to 30° C to get the product crystallized out. The product is filtered, washed and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 900 g of pure product. Yield = 83.3 %. B. Preparation of 4-(2-am oethyl)thiomethyl-2- ά-imethylam omethylthiazole.
2-A-minoethanetl iol hydrochloride (cysteamine hydrochloride, 520 g; 4.5 mol) is suspended in water (500 ml). This suspension is cooled to 5° C and sodium hydroxide solution (45 % w/w, 870 ml; 14.7 mol) is added into it at 5-10° C. Into this suspension, hydroxylamine sulphate (100 g; 0.6 mol) is added and stirred. A solution of 4-chloromethyl-2- di-n ethyl- inomethylthiazole hydrochloride (1000 g; 4.43 mol) dissolved in water (1250 ml) is prepared separately. This solution is added into the said suspension below 10° C and the reaction continued at 10° C for another 1 h. The completion of the reaction is determined by qualitative HPLC. The reaction mixture is then diluted with water (2000 ml), heated to 40-45° C and extracted with toluene (2 x 2000 ml). The toluene extract is treated with activated carbon at 40-45° C for 30 min. Activated carbon is removed by filtration through hyflo bed and evaporated toluene from the filtrate under reduced pressure at 60° C to obtain 910 g of the product. Yield = 88 %. C. Preparation of N-(2-(((2-(Dimethylamino)methyl)-4- tltiazolyl)m.ethyl)tltio)elhyl)-N’-methyl-2-nitro-l ,1 -etheneά-iamine (Nizatidine).
N-methyl-l-methyltHo-2-mtroethyleneamine (NMSM, 610 g; 4.12 mol) is mixed with water (1500 ml), and the mixture is cool to 20-25° C. 4- (2-Am-hoethyl)d omethyl-2-<^ (1000 g; 4.32 mol) dissolved in water (1500 ml) is added into this suspension at 20-25° C. The reaction mixture is warmed to 30-35° C and continued the reaction for 8 h. The progress of the reaction is monitored by qualitative HPLC analysis. The reaction mixture is extracted with toluene (2 x 1000 ml), and the aqueous layer is treated with activated carbon (50 g) at 55-60° C for 30 min. Activated carbon is removed by filtration through hyflo bed and the aqueous filtrate is extracted with chloroform (4 x 1000 ml)rThe cHorόform extract is concentrated under reduced pressure at less than 50° C; ethyl acetate (3000 ml) is added into the concentrate and reconcentrated. Acetone (300 ml), ethyl acetate (300 ml) is added into the concentrate and cooled to 0-5° C to crystallize the product. The product is filtered, washed with precooled ethyl acetate (250 ml), and dried to obtain pure Nizatidine 1160 g. Yield = 81.0%; HPLC purity -= 99.3%.

MIANSERIN

Mianserin (brand names: Depnon (IN), Lantanon (ZA), Lerivon (AR, BE, CZ, PL, RU, SK), Lumin (AU), Norval (UK), Tolvon (AU, HK^†, IE^†,NZ, SG^†), Tolmin (DK); where † indicates discontinued products) is a psychoactive drug of the tetracyclic antidepressant (TeCA) therapeutic family. It is classified as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA) and has antidepressant,anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), hypnotic (sedating), antiemetic (nausea and vomiting-attenuating), orexigenic (appetite-stimulating), andantihistamine effects.

It is not approved for use in the US, but its analogue, mirtazapine, is. Mianserin was the first antidepressant to reach the UK market that was less dangerous than the tricyclic antidepressants in overdose.^[3]

Medical uses

When used for the treatment of depression, its efficacy appears comparable to that of amitriptyline, citalopram, clomipramine,dothiepin, doxepin, fluoxetine, flupenthixol, fluvoxamine, imipramine, moclobemide, nortriptyline, paroxetine, and trazodone.^[1][4]Mianserin received TGA approval in May 1996.^[5]

Similarly to its analogue, mirtazapine, mianserin has been tried as an augmentation strategy in treatment-resistant depression with some success.^[6] Mianserin has been tried, similarly to mirtazapine, as an adjunct in schizophrenia and has been found to reduce negative and cognitive symptoms.^[7][8][9]

Mianserin has demonstrated efficacy as a monotherapy for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease psychosis in an open-label clinical trial.^[10]

Interactions

CYP2D6 inhibitors such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), quinidine, ritonavir, etc. would likely raise plasma levels of mianserin and hence could lead to mianserin toxicity. Conversely, CYP2D6 inducers would likely lead to reduced mianserin plasma concentrations and hence potentially diminish the therapeutic effects of mianserin.^[1]

Withdrawal

Abrupt or rapid discontinuation of mianserin may provoke a withdrawal, the effects of which may include depression, anxiety, panic attacks,^[14] decreased appetite or anorexia,insomnia, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and flu-like symptoms, such as allergies or pruritus, among others.

Pharmacology

Mianserin is an antagonist/inverse agonist of the H₁, 5-HT_1D, 5-HT_2A, 5-HT_2B, 5-HT_2C, 5-HT₃, 5-HT₆, 5-HT₇, α₁-adrenergic, and α₂-adrenergic receptors, and also inhibits thereuptake of norepinephrine.^[16][17] As a high affinity H₁ receptor inverse agonist, mianserin has strong antihistamine effects (sedation, weight gain, etc.). Contrarily, it has negligible affinity for the mACh receptors, and thus lacks anticholinergic properties. It was recently found to be a weak (K_i = 1.7 μM, EC₅₀ = 0.53 μM) κ-opioid receptor partial agonist.^[18]

In addition, mianserin also appears to be a potent antagonist of the neuronal octopamine receptor.^[19] What implications this may have on mood are currently unknown, however octopamine has been implicated in the regulation of sleep, appetite and insulin production and therefore may theoretically contribute to the overall side effect profile of mianserin.^[20][21]

Blockade of the H₁ and α1-adrenergic receptors has sedative effects,^[2] and also antagonism of the 5-HT_2A and α₁-adrenergic receptors inhibits activation of intracellularphospholipase C (PLC), which seems to be a common target for several different classes of antidepressants.^[22] By antagonizing the somatodendritic and presynaptic α₂-adrenergic receptors which function predominantly as inhibitory autoreceptors and heteroreceptors, mianserin disinhibits the release of norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, andacetylcholine in various areas of the brain and body.

Enantioselectivity

(S)-(+)-Mianserin is approximately 200–300 times more active than its enantiomer (R)-(−)-mianserin.

SYN 1

The title compound has been synthesized by several procedures. Acylation of 2-benzylaniline (I) by chloroacetyl chloride (II) gave chloroacetamide (III). Subsequent cyclization of amide (III) under Vilsmeier conditions furnished the dibenzoazepine (IV). Nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom of (IV) by methylamine led to amine (V). The imine function of (V) was reduced with either LiAlH4 or NaBH4 to the diamine (VI), which was further converted into the fused diketopiperazine (VII) upon heating with diethyl oxalate. The amide groups of (VII) were then reduced by means of borane in THF, yielding the target tetracyclic diamine, which was finally isolated as the corresponding hydrochloride salt……US 3534041

SYN 2

In a further procedure, styrene oxide (XV) was condensed with 2-(benzylamino)ethanol (XXVIII) to give amino diol (XXIX). After chlorination of (XXIX) using SOCl2 and DMAP, dichloro derivative (XXX) was condensed with 2-aminobenzyl alcohol (X) yielding piperazine (XXXI). Cyclization of (XXXI) in hot sulfuric acid afforded the tetracyclic compound (XXXII). The N-benzyl group of (XXXII) was then removed by treatment with butyl chloroformate producing carbamate (XXXIII), which was further hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to (XXXIV) under basic conditions. Finally, methylation of the secondary amine (XXXIV) was performed by reductive alkylation with formaldehyde either in the presence of formic acid under Leuckart-Wallach conditions or by catalytic hydrogenation

SYN 3

In a different method, reaction of styrene oxide (XV) with methylamine provided amino alcohol (XVI), which was further condensed with ethylene oxide (XVII) to afford amino diol (XVIII). Alternatively, diol (XVIII) was prepared by a more direct procedure by condensation of epoxide (XV) with 2-(methylamino)ethanol (XIX). Chlorination of (XVIII) employing SOCl2 yielded the dichloro derivative (XX), which was subsequently condensed with 2-aminobenzyl alcohol (X) leading to piperazine (XXI). Cyclization of (XXI) to the title compound was accomplished by treatment with hot polyphosphoric acid. Optionally, alcohol (XXI) was converted to chloride (XXII), which was then cyclized in the presence of AlCl3. In a related method, alcohol (XXI) was esterified with AcOH, and the resultant acetate ester (XXIII) was then cyclized in the presence of polyphosphoric acid……US 4217452

The key intermediate (XXI) was also prepared by several related procedures. Chlorination of aminoalcohol (XVI) gave chloro amine (XXIV), which was condensed with 2-aminobenzyl alcohol (X) to afford diamine (XXV). Then, alkylation of diamine (XXV) with dibromoethane (XIII) in hot pyridine gave rise to the target piperazine (XXI). Alternatively, diamine (XXV) was condensed with ethyl chloroacetate or with diethyl oxalate to produce the mono- or dioxopiperazines (XXVII) and (XXVI), respectively, which were then reduced to (XXI) by means of LiAlH4. Cyclization of alcohol (XXI) to the title compound was achieved by treatment with concentrated sulfuric acid

FR 2647114

Treatment of alpha-chlorophenylacetyl chloride (VIII) with methylamine provided the corresponding chloro amide (IX), which was subsequently condensed with 2-aminobenzyl alcohol (X) to afford amino alcohol (XI). Cyclization of (XI) in the presence of AlCl3 led to the dibenzoazepine (XII). This was converted to the tetracyclic compound (XIV) by reaction with dibromoethane (XIII) in the presence of Na2CO3. Reduction of the amide carbonyl group of (XIV) by means of LiAlH4 furnished the title compound. In a related strategy, amide (XII) was initially reduced to diamine (VI) by using LiAlH4. Subsequent condensation of (VI) with dibromoethane (XIII) led to the target tetracyclic derivative

2H-1,2-Benzothiazine-3-carboxamide, 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-(5-methylthiazolyl)-, 1,1-dioxide;

The IUPAC name of Meloxicam is (3E)-3-[hydroxy-[(5-methyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)amino]methylidene]-2-methyl-1,1-dioxo-1λ6,2-benzothiazin-4-one. With the CAS registry number 71125-38-7, it is also named as 2H-1,2-Benzothiazine-3-carboxamide, 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-N-(5-methylthiazolyl)-, 1,1-dioxide.

Uses of Meloxicam: this chemical is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic and fever reducer effects. And it inhibits cyclooxygenase that can be used as an anti-inflammatory. Additionally, it can be used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

In Europe, where the product has been available since the early 1990s, it is also prescribed and licensed for other anti-inflammatory benefits including relief from both acute and chronic pain in dogs and cats. For many years, both injectable and oral (liquid and tablet) formulations of meloxicam have been licensed for use in dogs, and injectable ones for use in cats. In June 2007, a new oral version of Metacam was licensed in Europe for the long-term relief of pain in cats. As of June 2008, Meloxicam is registered for long term use in cats in Australia, New Zealand, and throughout Europe. ‘Metacam oral suspension 1.5 is not approved or recommended (according to the manufacture insert) for use in cats in the U.S.

1H NMR DMSOD6

13C NMR DMSOD6

Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and fever reducer effects. It is a derivative of oxicam, closely related to piroxicam, and falls in the enolic acid group of NSAIDs.^[2] It was developed by Boehringer-Ingelheim. Meloxicam starts to relieve pain about 30–60 minutes after administration.^[3]

Mechanism of action

Meloxicam blocks cyclooxygenase (COX), the enzyme responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandin H₂—the first step in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation. Meloxicam has been shown, especially at its low therapeutic doses, selectively to inhibit COX-2 over COX-1.^[1]

Meloxicam concentrations in synovial fluid range from 40% to 50% of those in plasma. The free fraction in synovial fluid is 2.5 times higher than in plasma, due to the lower albumin content in synovial fluid as compared to plasma. The significance of this penetration is unknown,^[2] but it may account for the fact that it performs exceptionally well in treatment of arthritis in animal models.^[4]

Side effects

Meloxicam use can result in gastrointestinal toxicity and bleeding, headaches, rash, and very dark or black stool (a sign of intestinal bleeding). Like other NSAIDs, its use is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.^[5]It has fewer gastrointestinal side effects than diclofenac,^[6] piroxicam,^[7] naproxen,^[8] and perhaps all other NSAIDs which are not COX-2 selective.^[6] Although meloxicam does inhibit thromboxane A, it does not appear to do so at levels that would interfere withplatelet function.

A pooled analysis of randomized, controlled studies of meloxicam therapy of up to 60 days duration found that meloxicam was associated with a statistically significantly lower number of thromboembolic complications than the NSAID diclofenac (0.2% versus 0.8% respectively) but a similar incidence of thromboembolic events to naproxen and piroxicam.^[9]

Potential serious cardiovascular side effects

Persons with hypertension, high cholesterol, or diabetes are at risk for cardiovascular side effects. Persons with family history of heart disease, heart attack or stroke must tell their treating physician as the potential for serious cardiovascular side effects is significant.^[10][11]

Veterinary use

Meloxicam is also used in the veterinary field, most commonly in dogs and cats, but also sees off-label use in other animals such as cattle and exotics.^[12][13] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration sent a Notice of Violation to the manufacturer for its promotional materials which included promotion of the drug for off-label use.^[14] In the U.S. the drug is indicated for management of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs only. In Europe, where the product has been available since the early 1990s,^{[citation needed]} it is also prescribed and licensed for other anti-inflammatory benefits including relief from both acute and chronic pain in dogs. Side effects in animals are similar to those found in humans; the principal side effect is gastrointestinal irritation (vomiting, diarrhea and ulceration). Rarer but important side effects include liver and kidney toxicity.

Since 2003, the oral (liquid) formulations of meloxicam have been licensed in the U.S for use in dogs only,^[15] with the January 2005 product insert specifically warning in bold-face type: “Do not use in cats.”^[16] An injectable formulation for use in dogs was approved by the FDA in November 2003,^[17] with a formulation for cats, for surgical use only, approved in October 2004.^[18]

In the U.S., per the manufacturer’s clinical instructions as of July 2010, injectable meloxicam is indicated in operative use with felines as a single, one-time dose only, with specific and repeated warnings not to administer a second dose.^[19] In June 2007, a new oral version of meloxicam was licensed in Europe for the long-term relief of pain in cats. As of June 2008, meloxicam is registered for long term use in cats in Australia, New Zealand, and throughout Europe. A peer-reviewed journal article cites feline overdose of NSAIDs, including meloxicam, as being a cause of severe kidney damage in cats.^[20]

The pharmacokinetics of meloxicam have been investigated in koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus).^[21]

Meloxicam has been investigated as an alternative to Diclofenac by the RSPB to prevent deaths of vultures.

Preparation of Meloxicam: this chemical can be prepared by Methyl 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-(2H)-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxylate-1,1-dioxide and 2-Amino-5-methylthiazole. The yield is 74 %.

Benfotiamine (rINN, or S-benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate) is a synthetic S-acyl derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1).

It has been licensed for use in Germany since 1993 under the trade name Milgamma. (Combinations with pyridoxine or cyanocobalamin are also sold under this name.) It is prescribed there for treating sciatica and other painful nerve conditions.^[1]

It is marketed as a medicine and/or dietary supplement, depending on the respective Regulatory Authority.^{[citation needed]}

Uses

Benfotiamine is primarily marketed as an antioxidant dietary supplement. In a clinical study with six patients, benfotiamine lowered AGE by 40%.^[2]

Benfotiamine may be useful for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy however “Most of the effects attributed to benfotiamine are extrapolated from in vitro and animal studies. Unfortunately apparent evidences from human studies are scarce and especially endpoint studies are missing. Therefore additional clinical studies are mandatory to explore the therapeutic potential of benfotiamine in both diabetic and non-diabetic pathological conditions”.^[3] It is thought that treatment with benfotiamine leads to increased intracellular thiamine diphosphate levels,^[3] a cofactor of transketolase. This enzyme directs advanced glycation and lipoxidation end products (AGE’s, ALE’s) substrates to the pentose phosphate pathway, thus reducing tissue AGEs.^{[4][5][6][7][8]}

Pharmacology

After absorption, benfotiamine can be dephosphorylated by cells bearing an ecto-alkaline phosphatase to the lipid-soluble S-benzoylthiamine.^[9] Benfotiamine should not be confused with allithiamine, a naturally occurring thiamine disulfide derivative with a distinct pharmacological profile.^[10]

WO2016020664,  PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF EVEROLIMUS AND INTERMEDIATES THEREOF

Everolimus (RAD-001) is the 40-O- 2-hydroxyethyl)-rapamycin of formula (I),

It is a derivative of sirolimus of formula III),

and works similarly to sirolimus as an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). Everolimus is currently used as an immunosuppressant to prevent rejection of organ transplants and treatment of renal cell cancer and other tumours. It is marketed by Novartis under the tradenames Zortress™ (USA) and Certican™ (Europe and other countries) in transplantation medicine, and Afinitor™ in oncology.

Trisubstituted silyloxyethyltrifluoromethane sulfonates (triflates) of the general formula (IV),

wherein R₂, R₃ are independently a straight or branched alkyl group, for example C^-Cw alkyl, and/or an aryl group, for example a phenyl group, are important intermediates useful in the synthesis of everolimus.

Everolimus and its process for manufacture using the intermediate 2-(t-butyldimethyl silyl) oxyethyl triflate of formula (IVA),

was first described in US Patent Number 5,665,772. The overall reaction is depicted in Scheme I.

Scheme

Everolimus (I)

For the synthesis, firstly sirolimus of formula (III) and 2-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)oxyethyl triflate of formula (IVA) are reacted in the presence of 2,6-Lutidine in toluene at around 60°C to obtain the corresponding 40-O-[2-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]ethyl rapamycin of formula (I la), which is then deprotected in aqueous hydrochloric acid and converted into crude everolimus [40-O-(2-Hydroxy)ethyl rapamycin] of formula (I).

However, this process results in the formation of impure everolimus, which requires purification by column chromatography. The process results in very poor overall yield and purity and thereby the process is not suitable for the commercial scale production of everolimus.

Moenius et al. (I. Labelled Cpd. Radiopharm. 43, 1 13-120 (2000) have disclosed a process to prepare C-14 labelled everolimus using the diphenyltert-butylsilyloxy-protective group of formula (IV B),

as the alkylation agent. The overall yield reported was 25%.

International patent application, publication number WO 2012/103960 discloses the preparation of everolimus using the alkylating agent 2-((2,3-dimethylbut-2-yl)dimethylsilyloxy)ethyl triflate of formula (IVC),

wherein the overall yield reported is 52.54%. The process involves a derivatization method based on the reaction of the triflate (IV) with a derivatization agent, which preferably is a secondary aromatic amine, typically N-methylaniline.

International patent application, publication number WO 2012/103959 also discloses the preparation of everolimus using the alkylating agent of formula (IVC). The process is based on a reaction of rapamycin with the compound of formula (IVC) in the presence of a base (such as an aliphatic tertiary amine) to form 40-O-2-(t-hexyldimethylsiloxy)ethylrapamycin, which is subsequently deprotected under acidic conditions to obtain everolimus.

European Patent Number 1518517B discloses a process for the preparation of everolimus which employs the triflate compound of formula (IVA), 2-(t-butyldimethyl silyl) oxyethyl triflate. The disclosed process for preparing the compound of formula (IVA) involves a flash chromatography purification step.

The compounds of formula (IV) are key intermediates in the synthesis of everolimus. However, they are highly reactive and also very unstable, and their use often results in decomposition during reaction with sirolimus. This is reflected by the fact that the yields of the reaction with sirolimus are very low and the compounds of formula (IV) are charged in high molar extent. Thus it is desirable to develop a process to stabilize compounds of formula (IV) without loss of reactivity.

Example 1 :

Step 1 : Preparation of protected everolimus (TBS-everoismus) of formula (Ma) using metal salt, wherein “Pg” is t-butyldimethylsilyl

t-butyldimethylsilyloxy ethanol, of formula (VA) (2.8g, 0.016mol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (DCM) (3 vol) and to this 2,6-Lutidine (3.50 g, 0.0327 mol) was added and the mixture was cooled to -40°C. Thereafter, trifluoromethane sulfonic anhydride (3.59ml, 0.021 mol) was added drop-wise. The mixture was maintained at -40°C for 30 minutes. Sirolimus (0.5g, 0.00054mol) was taken in another flask and dissolved in DCM (1 ml). To this sirolimus solution, silver acetate (0.018g, 0.000109mol) was added and cooled to -40°C. The earlier cooled triflate solution was transferred in 3 lots to the sirolimus solution maintaining temperature at -40°C. The reaction mixture was stirred at -40°C further for 15min before which it was slowly warmed to 0°C and further to RT. The reaction mixture was then warmed to 40°C and maintained at this temperature for 3 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC. On completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and solvent was removed by vacuum distillation to obtain the title compound, which was directly used in the next step. HPLC product purity: 60%-85%.

Step 2: Preparation of everolimus of formula (I)

Protected everolimus of formula (I la) obtained in step 1 was dissolved in methanol (10 volumes) and chilled to 0-5° C. To this solution was added drop wise, a solution of 1 N HCI. The pH of the reaction was maintained between 1-3. The temperature of the reaction mixture was raised to 25° C and stirred for 1 hour. After completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (15 volumes) and extracted in ethyl acetate (2X20 volumes). The organic layers were combined and washed with brine, dried over sodium sulphate. The organic layer was distilled off under reduced pressure at 30-35° C, to obtain a crude everolimus (0.8 g). The crude everolimus was further purified by preparative HPLC to yield everolimus of purity >99%.

Example 2:

Step 1 : Preparation of TBS-everoiimus of formula (Ma) without using metal salt, wherein “Pg” is t-butyldimethylsilyl

t-butyldimethylsilyloxy ethanol, of formula (VA) (2.8g, 0.016mol) was dissolved in DCM (3 vol) and to this 2,6-Lutidine (3.50 g, 0.0327 mol) was added and the mixture was cooled to -40°C. Thereafter, trifluoromethane sulfonic anhydride (3.59ml, 0.021 mol) was added drop-wise. The mixture was maintained at -40°C for 30 minutes. Sirolimus (0.5g, 0.00054mol) was taken in another flask and dissolved in DCM (1 ml). The solution was cooled to -40°C. The earlier cooled triflate solution was transferred in 3 lots to the sirolimus solution maintaining temperature at -40°C. The reaction mixture was stirred at -40°C further for 15min before which it was slowly warmed to 0°C and further to RT. The reaction mixture was then warmed to 40°C and maintained at this temperature for 3 hours. On completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and

solvent was removed by vacuum distillation to obtain the title compound, which was directly used in next step. HPLC purity: 10%-20%.

Step 2: Preparation of everolimus of formula (I)

Protected everolimus of formula (I la) obtained in step 1 was dissolved in methanol (10 volumes) and chilled to 0-5° C. To this solution was added drop wise, a solution of 1 N HCI. The pH of the reaction was maintained between 1-3. The temperature of the reaction mixture was raised to 25° C and stirred for 1 hour. After completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with water (15 volumes) and extracted in ethyl acetate (2X20 volumes). The organic layers were combined and washed with brine, dried over sodium sulphate. The organic layer was distilled off under reduced pressure at 30-35° C, to obtain a crude everolimus which was further purified by preparative HPLC.

Example 3:

Preparation of crude Everolimus

Step 1 : Preparation of TBS-ethylene glycol of formula (Va)

Ethylene glycol (1.5L, 26.58 mol) and TBDMS-CI (485g, 3.21 mol) were mixed together with stirring and cooled to 0°C. Triethyl amine (679 ml, 4.83 mol) was then added at 0°C in 30-45 minutes. After addition, the reaction was stirred for 12 hours at 25-30°C for the desired conversion. After completion of reaction, the layers were separated and the organic layer (containing TBS-ethylene glycol) was washed with water (1 L.x2) and brine solution (1 L). The organic layer was then subjected to high vacuum distillation to afford 350g of pure product.

Step 2: Preparation of TBS-glycol-Triflate of formula (IVa)

The reaction was carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere. TBS- ethylene glycol prepared as per step 1 (85.10g, 0.48 mol) and 2, 6-Lutidine (84.28ml, 0.72 mol) were stirred in n-heptane (425ml) to give a clear solution which was then cooled to -15 to – 25°C. Trif!uoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Tf₂0) (99.74 ml, 0.590 mol) was added drop-wise over a period of 45 minutes to the n-heptane

solution (white precipitate starts to form immediately) while maintaining the reaction at -15 to -25°C. The reaction mixture was kept at temperature between -15 to -25°C for 2 hours. The precipitate generated was filtered off. The filtrate was then evaporated up to ~2 volumes with respect to TBS-ethyiene glycol (~200 ml).

Step 3: Preparation of TBS-evero!imus of formula (Ha)

30g of sirolimus (0,0328 mo!) and toluene (150m!) were stirred together and the temperature was slowly raised to 60-65°C. At this temperature, a first portion of TBS-g!yco!-triflate prepared as per step 2 (100ml) and 2,6-Lutidine (1 1.45ml, 0.086 moles) were added and stirred for 40 min. Further, a second portion of TBS- glycol-triflate (50mi) and 2, 6-Lutidine (19.45ml, 0.138 mol) were added and the reaction was stirred for another 40 min. This was followed by a third portion of TBS- glycol-triflate (50m!) and 2, 6-Lutidine (19.45ml, 0.138 mol), after which the reaction was stirred for further 90 minutes. The reaction was monitored through HPLC to check the conversion of Sirolimus to TBS-everolimus after each addition of TBS-glycol-trifiate. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with n-heptane (150mi), cooled to room temperature and stirred for another 60 minutes. The precipitated solids were filtered off and the filtrate was washed with deionized water (450 ml x4) followed by brine solution (450ml). The filtrate was subsequently distilled off to afford TBS-everolimus (60-65g) with 60-70% conversion from sirolimus.

Step 4: Preparation of everolimus of formula (I)

TBS-everolimus (65g) obtained in step 3 was dissolved in 300 mi methanol and cooled to 0°C. 1 N HCI was then added to the methanol solution (pH adjusted to 2-3) and stirred for 2 h. After completion of reaction, toluene (360m!) and deionized wafer (360mi) were added to the reaction mixture and the aqueous layer was separated. The organic layer was washed with brine solution (360ml). The organic layer was concentrated to obtain crude everolimus (39g) with an assay content of 30-35%, HPLC purity of 60-65%.

The crude everolimus purified by chromatography to achieve purity more than 99 %.

Fosdagrocorat, also known as PF-04171327, a dissociated agonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (DAGR), a selective high-affinity partial agonist of the GR with potent anti-inflammatory activity at exposures that provide less undesirable effects on bone and glucose metabolism compared with prednisone (pred).

Glucocorticoid receptor modulators are glucocorticoid receptor ligands that are used to treat a variety of conditions because of their powerful anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activity. J. Miner, et al., Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs (2005) 14(12):1527-1545.
Examples of glucocorticoid receptor modulators include dexamethasone, prednisone, prednisolone, RU-486, and as described in WO 2000/66522 and WO 2004/005229.
Treatment with glucocorticoid receptor modulators is often associated with side effects, such as bone loss and osteoporosis.
Identifying a glucocorticoid receptor modulator that is efficacious, potent, and has mitigated side-effects fulfills a medical need.

The present invention primarily relates to multi-component crystals comprising a compound of formula 1 and a second compound selected from the group consisting of co-crystal formers and sol-vents. The invention is further related to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such multi-component crystals. Furthermore, the invention relates to processes for preparing said multi-component crystals. The invention also relates to several aspects of using said multi-component crystals or pharmaceutical compositions to treat a disease.

Developed and launched by Roche and its subsidiary Genentech, under license from Curis. Family members of the product Patent of vismodegib (WO2006028958),

Vismodegib was first disclosed in WO Patent Publication No. 06/028959. Vismodegib, chem-ically 2-Chloro-N-(4-chloro-3-pyridin-2-ylphenyl)-4-methylsulfonylbenzamide, is represented by the following structure:

formula 1

Vismodegib is an active pharmaceutical ingredient produced by Genentech (Roche) and sold under the trade name Erivedge® (which contains crystalline Vismodegib as the active ingre-dient). Erivedge® is an oral Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor approved for the treatment of basal-cell carcinoma (BCC).

The present invention primarily relates to multi-component crystals comprising a compound of formula 1 (cf. above) and a second compound selected from the group consisting of co-crystal formers and solvents.

The invention is further related to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said multi-component crystals. Furthermore, the invention also relates to processes for preparing said multi-component crystals. The invention also relates to several aspects of using said multi-component crystals or pharmaceutical compositions to treat a disease. Further details as well as further aspects of the present invention will be described herein below.

Vismodegib is a BCS class II compound with a high permeability but a low solubility where enhanced solubility or dissolution rates can lead to a significant advantage in respect to bio-availability.

Vismodegib is known to exist as crystalline free base. Salts of Vismodegib are men-tioned in US 7,888,364 B2 but not specified. In particular, the HCI salt is mentioned as intermediate but not characterized. Co-crystals or solvates are not reported at all.

The solubility of Vismodegib is reported to be 0.1 μg/mL at pH 7 and 0.99 mg/mL at pH 1 for Erivedge®. The absolute bio-availability after single dose is reported to be 31.8 % and the ex-posure is not linear at single doses higher than 270 mg. Erivedge® capsules do not have a food label. The estimated elimination half-life (t1/2) after continuous once-daily dosing is 4 days and 12 days after a single dose treatment (Highlights of Prescribing Information: ERIVEDGE® (vismodegib) capsule for oral use; Revised: 01/2012).

The discovery and preparation of new co-crystals or solvates offer an opportunity to improve the performance profile of a pharmaceutical product. It widens the reservoir of techniques/materials that a formulation scientist can use for designing a new dosage form of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with improved characteristics. One of the most important characteristics of an API such as Vismodegib is the bio-availability which is often determined by the aqueous solubility.

A compound like Vismodegib may give rise to a variety of crystalline forms having dis-tinct crystal structures and physical characteristics like melting point, X-ray diffraction pattern, infrared spectrum, Raman spectrum and solid state NMR spectrum. One crystalline form may give rise to thermal behavior different from that of another crystalline form. Thermal behavior can be measured in the laboratory by such techniques as capillary melting point, thermogravimetry (TG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as content of sol-vent in the crystalline form, which have been used to distinguish polymorphic forms.

Multi-component crystals comprising Vismodegib and selected co-crystal formers or solvents may improve the dissolution kinetic profile and allow to control the hygrosco-picity of Vismodegib.

Therefore, there is a need for multi-component crystals comprising Vismodegib that avoid the above disadvantages. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide multi-component crystals of Vismodegib with optimized manufacture, formula-tion, stability and/or biological efficacy

.

Example 1 :

314 mg Vismodegib and 86 mg maleic acid are suspended in toluene saturated with maleic acid for 2 d, filtered and dried.

TG data shows a mass loss of about 2.3 wt % between 100 and 1 18 °C which is attributed to rest solvent. DSC data shows a single endothermal peak with an onset of about 1 15 °C (99 J/g).

H-NMR spectroscopy indicates a molar ratio of Vismodegib to maleic acid of about 1 :1 .3. However single crystal X-ray data confirms a ratio of 1 :2 (Table 1 ).

Vismodegib is a Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of vismodegib is as a Smoothened Receptor Antagonist.

Hedgehog Antagonist GDC-0449 is an orally bioavailable small molecule with potential antineoplastic activity. Hedgehog antagonist GDC-0449 targets the Hedgehog signaling pathway, blocking the activities of the Hedgehog-ligand cell surface receptors PTCH and/or SMO and suppressing Hedgehog signaling. The Hedgehog signaling pathway plays an important role in tissue growth and repair; aberrant constitutive activation of Hedgehog pathway signaling and uncontrolled cellular proliferation may be associated with mutations in the Hedgehog-ligand cell surface receptors PTCH and SMO.

Vismodegib was first disclosed in WO Patent Publication No. 06/028959. Vismodegib, chem-ically 2-Chloro-N-(4-chloro-3-pyridin-2-ylphenyl)-4-methylsulfonylbenzamide, is represented by the following structure:

Vismodegib (trade name Erivedge) is a drug for the treatment of basal-cell carcinoma (BCC). The approval of vismodegib on January 30, 2012, represents the first Hedgehog signaling pathway targeting agent to gain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.^[1] The drug is also undergoing clinical trials for metastatic colorectal cancer, small-cell lung cancer, advanced stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, medulloblastoma and chondrosarcoma as of June 2011.^[2] The drug was developed by thebiotechnology/pharmaceutical company Genentech, which is headquartered at South San Francisco, California, USA.

Indication

Vismodegib is indicated for patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) which has metastasized to other parts of the body, relapsed after surgery, or cannot be treated with surgery or radiation.^{[3] [4]}

Mechanism of action

The substance acts as a cyclopamine-competitive antagonist of the smoothened receptor (SMO) which is part of the hedgehog signaling pathway.^[2] SMO inhibition causes the transcription factors GLI1 and GLI2 to remain inactive, which prevents the expression of tumor mediating genes within the hedgehog pathway.^[5] This pathway is pathogenetically relevant in more than 90% of basal-cell carcinomas.^[6]

In embryonic development, Hedgehog signaling in cell differentiation, tissue development and organogenesis play an important role. In the adult body, Hedgehog signaling pathway is mainly in slumber, but when abnormal tissue growth and self-healing, Hedgehog pathway may be activated. With the in-depth study of the tumor, the presence of numerous evidence of abnormal tumor occurrence and the close relationship between Hedgehog signaling pathway, such as sporadic basal cell carcinoma, medulloblastoma, small cell lung cancer and gastrointestinal cancer and other diseases, therefore Hedgehog signaling pathway targeted anti-cancer therapy inhibitors become hot.

 Vismodegib chemical name 2_ chlorine -N_ (4_ chlorine _3_ (_2_ pyridyl) phenyl) _4_ (methylsulfonyl) benzamide, is by Roche’s Genentech (Genentech) Hedgehog pathway inhibitors developed, and can be inhibited by binding seven transmembrane protein Smoothened (Smo), thereby preventing signal transduction. Vismodegib capsule in January 2012 I was approved and listed by the US Food and Drug Administration, under the trade name Erivedge, for the treatment of adults with the most common type of skin cancer – basal cell carcinoma. This medicine is not intended for surgery or radiotherapy of cancer and basal cell skin cancer locally advanced patients have been transferred. This was the first drug approved for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma.

The present invention primarily relates to multi-component crystals comprising a compound of formula 1 and a second compound selected from the group consisting of co-crystal formers and sol-vents. The invention is further related to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such multi-component crystals. Furthermore, the invention relates to processes for preparing said multi-component crystals. The invention also relates to several aspects of using said multi-component crystals or pharmaceutical compositions to treat a disease.

Developed and launched by Roche and its subsidiary Genentech, under license from Curis. Family members of the product Patent of vismodegib (WO2006028958),

Vismodegib was first disclosed in WO Patent Publication No. 06/028959. Vismodegib, chem-ically 2-Chloro-N-(4-chloro-3-pyridin-2-ylphenyl)-4-methylsulfonylbenzamide, is represented by the following structure:

formula 1

Vismodegib is an active pharmaceutical ingredient produced by Genentech (Roche) and sold under the trade name Erivedge® (which contains crystalline Vismodegib as the active ingre-dient). Erivedge® is an oral Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitor approved for the treatment of basal-cell carcinoma (BCC).

The present invention primarily relates to multi-component crystals comprising a compound of formula 1 (cf. above) and a second compound selected from the group consisting of co-crystal formers and solvents.

The invention is further related to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said multi-component crystals. Furthermore, the invention also relates to processes for preparing said multi-component crystals. The invention also relates to several aspects of using said multi-component crystals or pharmaceutical compositions to treat a disease. Further details as well as further aspects of the present invention will be described herein below.

Vismodegib is a BCS class II compound with a high permeability but a low solubility where enhanced solubility or dissolution rates can lead to a significant advantage in respect to bio-availability.

Vismodegib is known to exist as crystalline free base. Salts of Vismodegib are men-tioned in US 7,888,364 B2 but not specified. In particular, the HCI salt is mentioned as intermediate but not characterized. Co-crystals or solvates are not reported at all.

The solubility of Vismodegib is reported to be 0.1 μg/mL at pH 7 and 0.99 mg/mL at pH 1 for Erivedge®. The absolute bio-availability after single dose is reported to be 31.8 % and the ex-posure is not linear at single doses higher than 270 mg. Erivedge® capsules do not have a food label. The estimated elimination half-life (t1/2) after continuous once-daily dosing is 4 days and 12 days after a single dose treatment (Highlights of Prescribing Information: ERIVEDGE® (vismodegib) capsule for oral use; Revised: 01/2012).

The discovery and preparation of new co-crystals or solvates offer an opportunity to improve the performance profile of a pharmaceutical product. It widens the reservoir of techniques/materials that a formulation scientist can use for designing a new dosage form of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with improved characteristics. One of the most important characteristics of an API such as Vismodegib is the bio-availability which is often determined by the aqueous solubility.

A compound like Vismodegib may give rise to a variety of crystalline forms having dis-tinct crystal structures and physical characteristics like melting point, X-ray diffraction pattern, infrared spectrum, Raman spectrum and solid state NMR spectrum. One crystalline form may give rise to thermal behavior different from that of another crystalline form. Thermal behavior can be measured in the laboratory by such techniques as capillary melting point, thermogravimetry (TG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as content of sol-vent in the crystalline form, which have been used to distinguish polymorphic forms.

Multi-component crystals comprising Vismodegib and selected co-crystal formers or solvents may improve the dissolution kinetic profile and allow to control the hygrosco-picity of Vismodegib.

Therefore, there is a need for multi-component crystals comprising Vismodegib that avoid the above disadvantages. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide multi-component crystals of Vismodegib with optimized manufacture, formula-tion, stability and/or biological efficacy

.

Example 1 :

314 mg Vismodegib and 86 mg maleic acid are suspended in toluene saturated with maleic acid for 2 d, filtered and dried.

TG data shows a mass loss of about 2.3 wt % between 100 and 1 18 °C which is attributed to rest solvent. DSC data shows a single endothermal peak with an onset of about 1 15 °C (99 J/g).

H-NMR spectroscopy indicates a molar ratio of Vismodegib to maleic acid of about 1 :1 .3. However single crystal X-ray data confirms a ratio of 1 :2 (Table 1 ).

Indian biopharmaceutical company Biocon has received approval from the European Commission for its Rosuvastatin Calcium tablets to treat hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia.

Hyperlipidemia is a common genetic disorder that increases lipids and/or lipoproteins levels in the blood.

The first generic formulation approval will allow Biocon to sell Rosuvastatin Calcium 5mg, 10mg, 20mg and 40mg tablets in more than 15 European countries, starting in fiscal 2017.

The company plans to collaborate with regional partners to market the drug; a generic equivalent of Crestor tablets.

Biocon chairperson and managing director Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw said: “This is indeed a proud moment for Biocon’s Small Molecules business.

Biocon chairperson and managing director Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw

“This approval paves the way for Biocon to launch Rosuvastatin Calcium tablets in several European countries.”

The approval will allow the company to address the $1.2bn opportunity in the EU. It will also make it easier for the company to market its products in emerging markets, where regulatory clearances are primarily based on approvals given by regulators in the US / EU.

Biocon was the first generic company to receive a certificate of suitability (CEP) for Rosuvastatin Calcium API from the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines (EDQM).

CEP certification indicates that an API is suitable for use in medicinal products in the EU.

Biocon CEO and joint managing director Dr Arun Chandavarkar said: “The European approval for Biocon’s generic version of Rosuvastatin Calcium underscores Biocon’s unique strengths in the chronic therapies space and our compliance with global standards that enable us to achieve the highest quality standards for all our products.

“It augurs well for this nascent business, which will be one of our growth drivers in the coming years.”

The company plans to boost its generic formulations business with a target of 20-25 filings over the next few years.

Additionally, Biocon is developing a new facility in Bengaluru, in the Indian state of Karnataka, where it will produce oral solid dosage formulations.

Treatment of retinal detachment

ONL1204, ONL’s lead therapeutic candidate, is a first-in-class small molecule peptide designed to protect key retinal cells, including photoreceptors, against the apoptosis (programmed cell death) that occurs in a range of retinal diseases and conditions. It is this death of these retinal cells that is the root cause of vision loss and the leading cause of blindness.

Researchers have shown that ONL1204 effectively inhibits the Fas pathway; one of the body’s primary mechanisms for inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis). Specifically, the compound’s activity inhibits the Fas receptor, blocks the activation of the Fas pathway, and prevents the apoptosis cascade which results in the death of key retinal cells, including photoreceptor.

While initial development efforts for ONL1204 are focused on retinal detachment, preclinicalin vivo data, along with a growing body of literature, support potential application in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other chronic retinal diseases. Combined, the estimated market for the initial indications that ONL plans to target is >$12 billion globally.

ONL Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for preserving sight in a range of retinal diseases, today announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan drug designation to ONL1204 for the treatment of retinal detachment. ONL1204 is a novel, first-in-class small molecule peptide designed to protect key retinal cells, including photoreceptors, from cell death that occurs in a range of retinal diseases and conditions. Death of these retinal cells is the root cause of vision loss and the leading cause of blindness. ONL expects to advance ONL1204 into clinical trials for retinal detachment patients in 2016.

Retinal detachment occurs when the retina is separated from the underlying layer of cells called the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The RPE provides nutritional support to the highly-active photoreceptors in the retina. When there is a detachment, the photoreceptors no longer receive these nutrients and undergo cell death processes that dramatically impact a patient’s vision. Retinal detachments occur in approximately 50,000 people each year in the United States and affect people of all ages, although risk increases as people reach fifty years of age.

Patients experiencing a retinal detachment are normally treated by surgical reattachment of the retina to reconnect the photoreceptors with the RPE and prevent additional loss of vision. However, these procedures do not address the photoreceptor death and vision loss, which can be significant, that occurs prior to surgery. ONL1204 will be delivered to patients upon diagnosis and is intended to block photoreceptor cells from dying until surgery can be completed.

“When retinal detachments involve the center of vision called the macula, more than a third of patients have final best corrected vision of 20/60 or worse after successful surgery,” said David Zacks, M.D., Ph.D., co-founder and chief science officer of ONL Therapeutics. “Those are truly poor outcomes from successful surgeries. We are very pleased the FDA has recognized this need and that ONL is the only company to have received an orphan designation for this disease. It reinforces our belief that ONL1204 can play a key role in preventing vision loss in these patients by protecting their photoreceptors.”

The FDA’s Orphan Drug Designation program provides certain incentives for companies developing therapeutics to treat rare diseases or conditions that affect less than 200,000 individuals in the US. A drug candidate and its developer must meet several key criteria in order to qualify for, and obtain, orphan drug status. Once a drug has received orphan drug designation, the developer qualifies for a range of benefits, including federal grants, tax credits, reduction in certain regulatory fees, and the potential for seven years of market exclusivity for the drug following FDA marketing approval.

About ONL Therapeutics

ONL Therapeutics (ONL) is a biopharmaceutical company committed to protecting and improving the vision of patients with retinal disease. By advancing a novel breakthrough technology designed to protect key retinal cells from Fas-mediated cell death, ONL is pioneering an entirely new approach to preserving sight. The death of key retinal cells is the root cause of vision loss and leading cause of blindness, and is implicated in a wide range of retinal diseases, including retinal detachment and both the wet and dry forms of age related macular degeneration (AMD).

Should Equipment Status Identification Labels be retained with the Batch Record?

Keeping equipment status identification labels with the batch record provides additional confirmation during the review process. But is it required?

http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_05182_Should-Equipment-Status-Identification-Labels-be-retained-with-the-Batch-Record_15218,15179,15156,15355,Z-QAMPP_n.html

Keeping equipment status identification labels with the batch record or other files is often done to provide additional confirmation during review of the record. It supports verification that certain equipment was cleaned before usage for manufacturing. But is it required?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA has answered this question in an Q&A Document. Assuming each major piece of equipment has a unique “Cleaning and Use Log” that is adequately retained, these “quick reference” equipment labels can be discarded according the agency. FDA sees “no value in the retention of such labels in addition to the required equipment log or batch record documentation. The labels serve a valuable, temporary purpose of positively identifying the current status of equipment and the material under process. Any status label should be correct, legible, readily visible, and associated with the correct piece of equipment. The information on the temporary status label should correspond with the information recorded in the equipment cleaning and use log, or the previous batch record for non-dedicated equipment.”

However, as said before, it might be useful keeping these labels in a batch record. Many companies are doing so; not because it is a requirement but it is a helpful and reliable practice.
