Generic versions of high cholesterol drug Lovaza can be developed, rules judge


LOVAZA, a lipid-regulating agent, is supplied as a liquid-filled gel capsule for oral administration. Each 1-gram capsule of LOVAZA (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) contains at least 900 mg of the ethyl esters of omega-3 fatty acids. These are predominantly a combination of ethyl esters of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA – approximately 465 mg) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA – approximately 375 mg).

The structural formula of EPA ethyl ester is:

EPA chemical structure

The empirical formula of EPA ethyl ester is C22H34O2, and the molecular weight of EPA ethyl ester is 330.51.

The structural formula of DHA ethyl ester is:

DHA chemical structure

The empirical formula of DHA ethyl ester is C24H36O2, and the molecular weight of DHA ethyl ester is 356.55.

LOVAZA capsules also contain the following inactive ingredients: 4 mg α-tocopherol (in a carrier of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils including soybean oil), and gelatin, glycerol, and purified water (components of the capsule shell).

Lovaza

A US appeals court ruled on this week that drug companies can develop generic versions of fish oil-derived, high-cholesterol drug Lovaza.

http://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/news/newsgeneric-versions-high-cholesterol-drug-lovaza-developed-rules-judge?WT.mc_id=DN_News

Lovaza is a brand name prescription drug. The capsule sold by GlaxoSmithKline but developed by Reliant Pharmaceuticals, contains esterified fish oils and is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to lower very high triglyceride levels. It is metabolized intoOmega-3 fatty acids. It is a dietary supplement that has been purified, chemically altered, branded, and been put through the approval process of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); in these respects it is considered a pharmaceutical. Due to the esterification process during manufacturing there is no risk of contamination[citation needed] by methyl mercuryarsenic,[1] or other pollutants that are often seen in the world’s oceans. Each 1-gram capsule is 38% DHA, 47% EPA, and 17% other fish oils in the form of the ethyl ester.

Lovaza is named Omacor in Europe (and this name was once used in the US).[2]

Effectiveness

Lovaza is approved in the U.S. for treatment of patients with very high triglycerides (hypertriglyceridemia).[3]

In the European markets and other major markets outside the US Lovaza is known as Omacor, and is indicated for:

  1. Hypertriglyceridemia. Used as monotherapy, or in combination with a statin for patients with mixed dyslipidemia.
  2. Secondary prevention after myocardial infarction (heart attack)

in addition to other standard therapy (e.g. statins, antiplatelets medicinal products, beta-blockers, and ACE-I).

Lovaza has been demonstrated to reduce triglycerides in patients with high or very high triglycerides. [3]

Lovaza has also been demonstrated to reduce VLDL-cholesterol and non-HDL-cholesterol, and increase HDL-cholesterol. But, it can raise LDL-cholesterol up to 45%.[4] The LDL raising activity correlates with a reduction in ApoB levels, though. Lovaza, through the stimulation of Lipoprotein Lipase, seems to stimulate the production of less atherogenic LDL species. In some patients, it can elevatealanine transaminase levels, so liver enzymes should be checked, periodically.[4]

Effects on significant patient outcomes such as acute myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality have been studied in patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction (this is in the US; however, data from GISSI-P showed a combined end-point of all-cause death, non-fatal MI, and non-fatal stroke was significantly reduced by 15%). Lovaza has not been shown to lower the rates of all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality, or the combination of mortality and non-fatal cardiovascular events.[3]

GlaxoSmithKline‘s patent expired in September 2012. Generic versions may be made available at that time. Other DHA/EPA products containing similar amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids are currently sold over the counter in the United States as dietary supplements.

Competitors

In July 2012, Amarin Corporation received U.S. FDA marketing approval for Vascepa, also referred to as AMR-101.[5] Vascepa will undoubtedly become a major competitor for Lovaza.[6] In clinicial trials, Vascepa was shown to lower triglycerides; while Lovaza also lowers the triglyceride concentration, Vascepa also lowers LDL-C; Lovaza does not. Lovaza was approved to treat people with very high triglyceride levels (>500 mg/dl), Vascepa is also approved for this market; however the company has also demonstrated that the drug can impact levels in people with high triglyceride (> 200 mg/dl and < 500 mg/dl) levels and will file an sNDA for this indication late in 2012.[7]

In 2011, Ariix started selling an almost identical FDA-Certified Omega3 Ethyl Ester 1000 mg capsule ‘OmegaQ’ fish oil through direct marketing and online auto-ship at a discounted price, creating another major competitor for Lovaza and Amarin’s Vascepa. One capsule contains 295 mg EPA, and 235 mg DHA, but it is unique in that it is combined with 20 mg of the coenzyme CoQ-10, with reported ‘anti-aging’ effects on the cell’s telomeres, which are still under study.

Forms of Lovaza

Lovaza is available as 1-gram soft-gelatin capsules.[8]

Active Ingredient: Omega-3-acid ethyl esters

Inactive Ingredients: Gelatin, glycerol, purified water, alpha-tocopherol (in soybean oil)

  • R-340, Ro-09-1978, Xeloda

pentyl [1-(3,4-dihydroxy-5-methyltetrahydrofuran-2-yl)-5-fluoro-2-oxo-1H-pyrimidin-4-yl]carbamate

MONDAY Sept. 16, 2013 — The first generic version of the oral chemotherapy drug Xeloda (capecitabine) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat cancers of the colon/rectum or breast, the agency said Monday in a news release.

This year, an estimated 142,820 people will be diagnosed with cancer of the colon/rectum, and 50,830 are predicted to die from the disease, the FDA said, citing the U.S. National Cancer Institute. An estimated 232,340 women will be diagnosed with cancer of the breast this year, and some 39,620 will die from it.

The most common side effects of the drug are diarrhea, vomiting; pain, redness, swelling or sores in the mouth; fever and infection, the FDA said.

The agency stressed that approved generics have the same high quality and strength as their brand-name counterparts.

License to produce the generic drug was given to Israel-based Teva Pharmaceuticals. The brand name drug is produced by the Swiss pharma firm Roche.

Capecitabine (INN) /kpˈstəbn/ (Xeloda, Roche) is an orally-administered chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of metastatic breast and colorectal cancers. Capecitabine is a prodrug, that is enzymatically converted to 5-fluorouracil in the tumor, where it inhibits DNA synthesis and slows growth of tumor tissue. The activation of capecitabine follows a pathway with three enzymatic steps and two intermediary metabolites, 5′-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine (5′-DFCR) and 5′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5′-DFUR), to form 5-fluorouracil

Indications

Capecitabine is FDA-approved for:

  • Adjuvant in colorectal cancer Stage III Dukes’ C – used as first-line monotherapy.
  • Metastatic colorectal cancer – used as first-line monotherapy, if appropriate.
  • Metastatic breast cancer – used in combination with docetaxel, after failure of anthracycline-based treatment. Also as monotherapy, if the patient has failed paclitaxel-based treatment, and if anthracycline-based treatment has either failed or cannot be continued for other reasons (i.e., the patient has already received the maximum lifetime dose of an anthracycline).

In the UK, capecitabine is approved by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for colon and colorectal cancer, and locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.[1] On March 29, 2007, the European Commission approved Capecitabine, in combination with platinum-based therapy (with or without epirubicin), for the first-line treatment of advanced stomach cancer.

Capecitabine is a cancer chemotherapeutic agent that interferes with the growth of cancer cells and slows their distribution in the body. Capecitabine is used to treat breast cancer and colon or rectum cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.

Formulation

Capecitabine (as brand-name Xeloda) is available in light peach 150 mg tablets and peach 500 mg tablets.

WO2009066892A1

Capecitabine is an orally-administered anticancer agent widely used in the treatment of metastatic breast and colorectal cancers. Capecitabine is a ribofuranose-based nucleoside, and has the sterochemical structure of a ribofuranose having an β-oriented 5-fluorocytosine moiety at C-I position.

US Patent Nos. 5,472,949 and 5,453,497 disclose a method for preparing capecitabine by glycosylating tri-O-acetyl-5-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranose of formula I using 5-fluorocytosine to obtain cytidine of formula II; and carbamoylating and hydrolyzing the resulting compound, as shown in Reaction Scheme 1 :

Reaction Scheme 1

1

The compound of formula I employed as an intermediate in Reaction

Scheme 1 is the isomer having a β-oriented acetyl group at the 1 -position, for the reason that 5-fluorocytosine is more reactive toward the β-isomer than the α-isomer in the glycosylation reaction due to the occurrence of a significant neighboring group participation effect which takes place when the protecting group of the 2-hydroxy group is acyl.

Accordingly, β-oriented tri-O-acetyl-5-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranose (formula

I) has been regarded in the conventional art to the essential intermediate for the preparation of capecitabine. However, such a reaction gives a mixture of β- and α-isomers from which cytidine (formula II) must be isolated by an uneconomical step.

Meanwhile, US Patent No. 4,340,729 teaches a method for obtaining capecitabine by the procedure shown in Reaction Scheme 2, which comprises hydrolyzing 1-methyl-acetonide of formula III to obtain a triol of formula IV; acetylating the compound of formula IV using anhydrous acetic anhydride in pyridine to obtain a β-/α-anomeric mixture of tri-O-acetyl-5-deoxy-D-ribofuranose of formula V; conducting vacuum distillation to purify the β-/α-anomeric mixture; and isolating the β-anomer of formula I therefrom:

Reaction Scheme 2

III IV

However, the above method is also hampered by the requirement to perform an uneconomical and complicated recrystallization steps for isolating the β-anomer from the mixture of β-/α-anomers of formula V, which leads to a low yield of only about 35% to 40% (Guangyi Wang et al., J. Med. Chem., 2000, vol. 43, 2566-2574; Pothukuchi Sairam et al., Carbohydrate Research, 2003, vol. 338, 303-306; Xiangshu Fei et al., Nuclear Medicine and Biology, 2004, vol. 31, 1033-1041; and Henry M. Kissman et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc, 1957, vol. 79, 5534-5540).

Further, US Patent No. 5,476,932 discloses a method for preparing capecitabine by subjecting 5′-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine of formula VI to a reaction with pentylchloroformate to obtain the compound of formula VII having the amino group and the 2-,3-hydroxy groups protected with C5Hi1CO2 groups; and removing the hydroxy-protecting groups from the resulting compound, as shown in Reaction Scheme 3 :

Reaction Scheme 3

Vl VII 1

However, this method suffers from a high manufacturing cost and also requires several complicated steps for preparing the 5′-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine of formula VI: protecting the 2-,3-hydroxy groups; conducting a reaction thereof with 5-fluorocytosine; and deprotecting the 2-,3-hydroxy groups.

Accordingly, the present inventors have endeavored to develop an efficient method for preparing capecitabine, and have unexpectedly found an efficient, novel method for preparing highly pure capecitabine using a trialkyl carbonate intermediate, which does not require the uneconomical β-anomer isolation steps.

Scheme III

Further, this patent discloses crystallization of capecitabine, using a solvent mixture of ethyl acetate and n-heptane. International Application Publication No. WO 2005/080351 A1 describes a process for the preparation of capecitabine that involves the refluxing N4– pentyloxycarbonyl-5-fluorocytosine with trimethylsiloxane, hexamethyl disilazanyl, or sodium iodide with trimethyl chlorosilane in anhydrous acetonitrile, dichloromethane, or toluene, and 5-deoxy-1 ,2,3-tri-O-acetyl-D-ribofuranose, followed by hydrolysis using ammonia/methanol to give capecitabine. The overall process is summarized in Scheme IV.

Scheme IV

International Application Publication No. WO 2007/009303 A1 discloses a method of synthesis for capecitabine, comprising reacting 5′-deoxy-5- fluorocytidine using double (trichloromethyl) carbonate in an inert organic solvent and organic alkali to introduce a protective lactone ring to the hydroxyl of the saccharide moiety; reacting the obtained compound with chloroformate in organic alkali; followed by selective hydrolysis of the sugar component hydrolytic group using an inorganic base to give capecitabine. The overall process is summarized in Scheme V.

Scheme V

Even though all the above documents collectively disclose various processes for the preparation of capecitabine, removal of process-related impurities in the final product has not been adequately addressed. Impurities in any active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) are undesirable, and, in extreme cases, might even be harmful to a patient. Furthermore, the existence of undesired as well as unknown impurities reduces the bioavailability of the API in pharmaceutical products and often decreases the stability and shelf life of a pharmaceutical dosage form.

Abstract
Cancer is a life threatening condition. Though it has been immensely studied in the field of medical research, not all attempts have been fruitful. More than half the people diagnosed with cancer receive chemotherapy. One such effective discovery leads to Paclitaxel, a Pacific Yew tree isolate. This review makes attempt at understanding a few advancements in cancer treatment using Paclitaxel since its discovery. We await the discovery of many such compounds which make an impact in cancer treatment. This review tried to discuss the various research using Paclitaxel and its efficacy against various types of cancers and stresses on the need for the research in the field of Cancer Chemotherapy.

Eisai Co. Ltd. announced that Halaven (eribulin mesylate), an anti-cancer agent, has now been launched in Russia


Eribulin

Eribulin mesylate

Eisai R&D Management Co., Ltd.

13/9/2013

Halaven is a novel anticancer agent discovered and developed in-house by Eisai and is currently approved in more than 50 countries, including Japan, the United States and in Europe. In Russia, Halaven was approved in July 2012 for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with at least two chemotherapy regimens including an anthracycline and a taxane. Approximately 50,000 women in Russia are newly diagnosed with breast cancer each year, with this type of cancer being the leading cause of death in women aged 45 to 55 years. read all at…………………….

Eribulin mesylate (Halaven; Eisai) — a synthetic analogue of the marine natural product halichondrin B that interferes with microtubule dynamics — was approved in November 2010 by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.

Family members of the product patent, WO9965894, have SPC protection in the EU until 2024 and one of its Orange Book listed filings, US8097648, has US154 extension till January 2021.

The drug also has NCE exclusivity till November 2015.

Halichondrin B, a large polyether macrolide, was isolated 25 years ago from the marine sponge Halichondria okadai

Eribulin is an anticancer drug marketed by Eisai Co. under the trade name Halaven. Eribulin mesylate was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on November 15, 2010, to treat patients with metastatic breast cancer who have received at least two prior chemotherapy regimens for late-stage disease, including both anthracycline– and taxane-based chemotherapies.[1] It was approved by Health Canada on December 14, 2011 for treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer who have previously received at least two chemotherapeutic regimens for the treatment of metastatic disease. [2]

Eribulin is also being investigated by Eisai Co. for use in a variety of other solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer and sarcoma.[3]

Eribulin has been previously known as E7389 and ER-086526, and also carries the US NCI designation NSC-707389.

Eribulin mesylate is an analogue of halichondrin B, which in 1986 was isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria okadai toxic Pacific.Halichondrin B has a significant anti-tumor activity. The Eribulin synthetically obtained has a simpler but still complex molecular structure.Taxanes such as to inhibit the spindle apparatus of the cell, but it is engaged in other ways.

The substance inhibits the polymerization of tubulin into microtubules and encapsulates tubulin molecules in non-productive aggregates from. The lack of training of the spindle apparatus blocks the mitosis and ultimately induces apoptosis of the cell. Eribulin differs from known microtubule inhibitors such as taxanes and vinca alkaloids by the binding site on microtubules, also it does not affect the shortening. This explains the effectiveness of the new cytostatic agent in taxane-resistant tumor cell lines with specific tubulin mutations.

 

Structure and mechanism

Structurally, eribulin is a fully synthetic macrocyclic ketone analogue of the marine sponge natural product halichondrin B,[4][5] the latter being a potent naturally-occurring mitotic inhibitor with a unique mechanism of action found in the Halichondria genus of sponges.[6][7] Eribulin is a mechanistically-unique inhibitor of microtubule dynamics,[8][9] binding predominantly to a small number of high affinity sites at the plus ends of existing microtubules.[10] Eribulin exerts its anticancer effects by triggering apoptosis of cancer cells following prolonged and irreversible mitotic blockade.[11][12]

A new synthetic route to E7389 was published in 2009.[13]

How Long Is A Drug Patent Good For?


patent protectionPatents are good for 20 years after the invention of a drug–not after the drug comes to market. It can easily take eight years for the pharmaceutical companies to gather enough data to get approval for their new invention from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Meanwhile the FDA can send the drug company back for more clinical studies  (experiments using humans as subjects to test the drugs’ efficacy and side effects) and more data, and all the while the patent clock is ticking.

That’s why the name of the game for pharmaceutical companies is working to extend those patents for a top-selling drug

Macitentan (Opsumit® )is a novel dual endothelin receptor antagonist that resulted from a tailored drug discovery process. Macitentan has a number of potentially key beneficial characteristics – i.e., increased in vivo preclinical efficacy vs. existing ERAs resulting from sustained receptor binding and tissue penetration properties. A clinical pharmacology program indicated a low propensity of macitentan for drug-drug interactions.

Macitentan (ACT-064992) is a tissue-targeting dual ET(A)/ET(B) endothelin (ET) receptor antagonist designed for tissue targeting. Macitentan inhibited ET-1-induced contractions in isolated endothelium-denuded rat aorta (ET(A) receptors) and sarafotoxin S6c-induced contractions in isolated rat trachea (ET(B) receptors). In diabetic rats, chronic administration of macitentan decreased blood pressure and proteinuria and prevented end-organ damage. Treatment with macitentan enhanced the cytotoxicity mediated by paclitaxel as measured by the degree of apoptosis in tumor cells and tumor-associated endothelial cells. A Phase III clinical trial of macitentan was successfully completed in 2012.

Macitentan.png

Macitentan is an investigational drug being studied for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It acts as a dualendothelin receptor antagonist and is being developed by Actelion.[1] A Phase III clinical trial was successfully completed in 2012.[2]

on 22 October 2012 – Actelion (SIX: ATLN) announced that it has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval for macitentan (Opsumit®) for the treatment of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension

Actelion’s experimental lung drug macitentan prolonged overall survival by more than a third according to detailed study data, which the company hopes will convince investors it has a viable follow-up product to secure its commercial future.

Europe’s largest standalone biotech company wants the drug, which treats pulmonary arterial hypertension — a disease that causes high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs — to replace blockbuster Tracleer.

Tracleer currently makes up 87 percent of sales but loses patent protection in 2015 and has also seen its market share eroded by Gilead’s Letairis.

Pharmacokinetics

Macitentan has an active metabolite, ACT-132577, which is an oxidative depropylation product. Both macitentan and ACT-132577 are mainly excreted in form of hydrolysis products via urine (about 2/3 of all metabolites) and faeces (1/3).[3]

Co-administration of ciclosporin has only a slight effect on the concentrations of macitentan and its active metabolite, whilerifampicin decreases the area under the curve (AUC) of the drug’s blood plasma concentration by 79%, and ketoconazoleapproximately doubles it. This corresponds to the finding that macitentan is mainly metabolised via the liver enzyme CYP3A4.[4]

SYNTHESIS

The synthesis begins with the reaction of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (1) (dissolved in dichloromethane at 0 ° C) with one equivalent of tert-butanol. This produces a by BOC protected Aminosulfonylchlorid (2). With one equivalent of n-propylamine (dissolved in 3 eq. Of triethylamine, dichloromethane, at 0 ° C, RT 16 h) is produced by a hydrochloric acid elimination BOC-protected sulfamide (3). This is dissolved in 5 M HCl and dioxane (4-8 h), the BOC protecting group is cleaved. The sulfamide formed (4) is potassium tert-butoxide-(dissolved in MeOH, 3h) is converted to the potassium salt (5). Tert-butoxide potassium acts as a very strong base for deprotonation. This sulfamide potassium salt reacts with the nucleophilic substituents on the heteroaromatic Dichlorpyrimidinderivat (6) (dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, at room temperature, RT 42-72 h) under KCl-cleavage to a Monochlorpyrimidin intermediate (7). By treatment with ethylene glycol (dissolved in dimethyl ether, potassium-tert-butoxide,), the ethylene glycol side chain is generated (8). With 2-chloro-5-bromo-pyrimidine (dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, close, at 60-75 ° C) is formed under elimination of HCl in an S N 1 reaction Macitentan (9)…………Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 55, 2012 S. 7849-7861, doi : 10.1021 / jm3009103 .

Abstract Image

Starting from the structure of bosentan (1), we embarked on a medicinal chemistry program aiming at the identification of novel potent dual endothelin receptor antagonists with high oral efficacy. This led to the discovery of a novel series of alkyl sulfamide substituted pyrimidines. Among these, compound 17 (macitentan, ACT-064992) emerged as particularly interesting as it is a potent inhibitor of ETA with significant affinity for the ETB receptor and shows excellent pharmacokinetic properties and high in vivo efficacy in hypertensive Dahl salt-sensitive rats. Compound 17 successfully completed a long-term phase III clinical trial for pulmonary arterial hypertension

BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE SYNTHESIS AND REVIEW


BENAZEPRIL HYDROCHLORIDE, CAS NO 86541-74-4

Benazepril, brand name Lotensin (Novartis), is a medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), congestive heart failure, and chronic renal failure. Upon cleavage of its ester group by the liver, benazepril is converted into its active form benazeprilat, a non-sulfhydryl angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.

Dosage forms

Benazepril is available as oral tablets, in 5-, 10-, 20-, and 40-mg doses.

Benazepril is also available in combination with hydrochlorothiazide, under the trade name Lotensin HCT, and with amlodipine(trade name Lotrel).

Side effects

Most commonly, headaches and cough can occur with its use. Anaphylaxisangioedema and hyperkalemia, the elevation of potassium levels, can also occur.

Benazepril may cause harm to the fetus during pregnancy.

According to coverage of the study on WebMD:

ACE inhibitors can pose a potential threat to kidneys as well. The key question was whether damaged kidneys would worsen if patients took ACE inhibitors. In a nutshell, concerns centered on blood levels of potassium andcreatinine, waste products that are excreted by the kidneys. Testing creatinine levels in the blood is used as a way to monitor kidney function (…) kidney problems worsened more slowly in those taking Lotensin. Overall, there were no major differences in side effects between patients taking Lotensin or the placebo.[2]

This study marks the first indication that benazepril, and perhaps other ACE inhibitors, may actually be beneficial in the treatment of hypertension in patients with kidney disease.

The Benazepril hydrochloride, with the CAS registry number 86541-74-4, is also known as (3S)-3-(((1S)-1-Carboxy-3-phenylpropyl)amino)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2-oxo-1H-1-benzazepine-1-acetic acid, 3-ethyl ester, monohydrochloride; Benazepril HCl; Cibacen; Cibacen CHF; Labopol. It belongs to the product categories of Intermediates & Fine Chemicals; Pharmaceuticals; Amines; Aromatics; Heterocycles. This chemical’s molecular formula is C24H29ClN2O5 and molecular weight is 460.96. What’s more, its IUPAC name 2-[(3S)-3-[[(2S)-1-ethoxy-1-oxo-4-phenylbutan-2-yl]amino]-2-oxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-1-benzazepin-1-yl]acetic acid hydrochloride. In addition, Benazepril hydrochloride (CAS 86541-74-4) is crystalline solid which is soluble in DMSO. It is used in high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. When you are using this chemical, you should not breathe dust and avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Veterinary use

Under the brand names Fortekor (Novartis) and VetACE (Jurox Animal Health), benazepril hydrochloride is used to treat congestive heart failure in dogs and chronic renal failure in dogs and cats.

Above Preparation of Benazepril hydrochloride (CAS 86541-74-4): The reaction of 2(R)-hydroxy-4-phenyl butyric acid ethyl ester (I) with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride in dichloromethane gives the corresponding triflate (II), which is then condensed with the amino benzazepinone (III) by means of NMM in the same solvent to provide the target benazepril.

ABOVE SCHEME-EP 1891014 B1

BACKGROUND

  • Benazepril (CAS REGISTRY No. 86541-75-5) first disclosed inUS 4,410,520 is one of the well-known ACE inhibitors and is used for the treatment of hypertension.
  • Chemically, Benazepril, is (3S)-1-(carboxymethyl-[[(1(S)-1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-3-phenylpropyl]amino]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-[1]benzazepine-2-one.
  • Benazepril is administered orally in the form of hydrochloride salt (CAS REGISTRY No. 86541-74-4) represented by formula (I).

    Figure imgb0001
  • The preparation of benazepril disclosed in US 4,410,520 , J. Med. Chem. 1985, 28, 1511-1516, and Helvetica Chimica Acta (1988) 71, 337-342, as given in scheme 1, involves reductive amination of ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenyl butyrate (IV) with sodium salt of (3S)-3-amino-1-carboxymethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1 H-benzazepin-2-one (III).

    Figure imgb0002
  • In example 12 of US 4,410,520 , the crude benazepril (II) obtained in a diastereomeric ratio of SS: SR=70:30 was dissolved in dichloromethane and treated with HCl gas to obtain benazepril hydrochloride. The benazepril hydrochloride of formula (I) obtained as a foam was crystallized from methyl ethyl ketone to obtain in a SS: SR=95:5 diastereomeric ratio. Benazepril hydrochloride was further purified by recrystallization from a mixture of 3-pentanone/methanol (10:1), melting point: 188-190 °C.
  • Alternatively, in example 27 of US 4,410,520 , benazepril hydrochloride was purified by refluxing in chloroform, filtering, and washing first with chloroform and then with diethyl ether. The melting point of benazepril hydrochloride obtained as per this example is 184-186 °C.
  • An alternative process disclosed in US 4,785,089 involves nucleophilic substitution of (3S)-3-amino-1-t-butoxycarbonylmethyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzazepine-2-one (V), using the chiral substrate ethyl (2R)-2-(4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)-4-phenyl butyrate (VI) in presence of N-methylmorpholine (scheme 2). The benazepril t-butyl ester (IIa) obtained in a diastereomeric ratio of SS: SR=96:4 was hydrolyzed to benazepril (II) and converted to hydrochloride salt by treating with HCl gas in ethyl acetate. The crystalline suspension of benazepril hydrochloride in ethyl acetate was diluted with acetone and filtered to obtain in a diastereomeric ratio of SS: SR=99.1:0.9. Further purification by refluxing in ethyl acetate afforded benazepril hydrochloride in a diastereomeric ratio of SS: SR=99.7:0.3, melting point of 181 °C.

    Figure imgb0003
  • The above documents do not disclose the crystalline form of benazepril hydrochloride obtained by following the purification processes disclosed in the examples.
  • The Merck Index., 12th edition reports benazepril hydrochloride crystals obtained from 3-pentanone+methanol (10:1), melting point 188-190 °C
  • The crystallization methods taught in the prior art does not consistently produce a constant diastereomeric composition of SS:SR diastereomer. This is evident from the variation in the melting points of the benazepril hydrochloride reported in three different working examples, which varies between 181 to 190°C.
  • The variation in diastereomeric composition of a pharmaceutical substance is not desirable as it would affect its efficacy. Hence there is a need for a crystallization process that consistently produce a constant diastereomeric composition of SS diastereomer in greater than 99.8%.
  • Coming to the crystalline form, it is well known in the art that the solid form of a pharmaceutical substance affect the dissolution rate, solubility and bioavailability. The solid form may be controlled by process employed for the manufacture of the pharmaceutical substance. In particular the process of purification of the solid substance by crystallization is used to control the solid form (Organic Process Research & Development, 2003, 7, 958-1027).
  • It has been found that the crystalline form of benazepril hydrochloride obtained from processes of prior art documents is designated as crystalline Form A as evident from the following documents.
  • In a monograph published by Al-badar et al in Profiles of Drug Substances, Excipients, and Related Methodology, Vol. 31, 2004, p117-161; benazepril hydrochloride prepared by the process disclosed in US 4,410,520 , and J. Med. Chem. 1985, 28, 1511-1516, has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction pattern having 2θ peaks at 6.6, 9.9, 11.9, 13.7, 14.0, 14.9, 15.3, 16.4, 17.3, 18.9, 19.6, 20.2, 20.9, 21.5, 22.2, 25.2, 25.5, 26.4, 26.6, 27.1, 27.9, 29.8, 30.4, 31.0, 32.6, 33.3, 33.8, 34.4, 35.5, 38.2, 39.9, 43.9, 48.9.
  • The major peaks are at 6.6, 9.9, 11.9, 13.7, 14.9, 16.4, 17.3, 18.9, 19.6, 20.2, 20.9, 21.5, 25.2, 25.5, 26.4, 26.6, 27.9, 31.0, and 32.6.
  • WO 2004/013105 A1 also discloses that by following the processes of the prior art mentioned above, crystalline benazepril hydrochloride is isolated in a form designated as Form A having a powder X-ray diffraction pattern with 2θ values at 6.7, 10.1, 12.0, 13.8, 15.1, 16.4, 17.4, 19.0, 19.6, 20.2, 20.9, 21.0, 25.3, 25.5, 26.4, 26.6, 27.6, 28.0, 31.0, 32.7.
  • WO 2004/013105 A1 discloses that benazepril hydrochloride Form A may be prepared from a concentrated solution of the benazepril hydrochloride in a solvent selected from C1-C10 alcohol, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone by adding an anti-solvent selected from C4-C12 alkane or C1-C10 acetate, preferably, hexane or ethyl acetate.
  • WO 2004/013105 A1 in Example 5 describes a process of making crystalline form A of benazepril hydrochloride by passing HCl gas into a solution of benazepril free base in diethyl ether and filtering the resulting suspension.
  • Similarly, in Example 6, the benazepril hydrochloride was dissolved in water free ethanol and the resulting solution was added to heptane at 20° C to obtain the crystalline Form A.
  • Further, WO 2004/013105 A1 , mentions a list of solvents and anti-solvents that can be used to make benazepril hydrochloride crystalline Form A. However, there is no enabling disclosure and the document is silent on the diastereomeric purity of the crystalline form A obtainable by the process disclosed.
  • The processes of crystallization and/or recrystallization disclosed in the prior art do not consistently produce benazepril hydrochloride with constant diasteromeric content as evident from the variation in the melting point of the crystalline benazepril hydrochloride obtained from crystallization from various solvents.

A new synthesis of CGS-14824A is given: The reaction of 3-bromo-1-phenylpropane (I) with KCN gives 4-phenylbutyronitrile (II), which is hydrolyzed to the corresponding butyric acid (III). The cyclization of (III) with polyphosphoric acid affords 1-tetralone (IV), which is brominated to 2-bromo-1-tetralone (V) and treated with hydroxylamine to give the oxime (VI). The Beckman rearrangement of (VI) yields 3-bromo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-(1)benzazepin-2-one (VII), which is treated with sodium azide to afford the azide derivative (VIII). The N-alkylation of (VIII) with ethyl bromoacetate (IX) by means of KOH and tetrabutylammonium bromide in THF gives the N-alkylated azide (X), which is reduced by catalytic hydrogenation to the corresponding amine (XI). The hydrolysis of the ester group of (XI) with NaOH yields the free acetic acid derivative (XII), which is finally reductocondensed with ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate (XIII) by means of sodium cyanoborohydride.
