Cenicriviroc (TAK-652, TBR-652) is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of HIV infection.[1] It is being developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical and Tobira Therapeutics.
TBR-652 (formerly TAK-652) is a highly potent and orally active CCR5 antagonist in phase II clinical trials at Takeda for the treatment of HIV infection. Tobira Therapeutics is evaluating the compound in preclinical studies for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
TBR-652 binds CCR5 receptors to interfere with the entry of the HIV-1 virus into macrophages and activated T-cells by inhibiting fusion between viral and cellular membranes. This mechanism of action differs from currently used HIV treatments such as nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors.
In 2007, Takeda entered into an agreement with Tobira pursuant to which Tobira obtained exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize TBR-652 for the treatment of HIV infection.
Cenicriviroc is an inhibitor of CCR2 and CCR5 receptors,[2] allowing it to function as an entry inhibitor which prevents the virus from entering into a human cell. Inhibition of CCR2 may have an anti-inflammatory effect.
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study to assess the antiviral activity, safety, and tolerability of cenicriviroc was conducted in 2010. HIV-infected patients taking cenicriviroc had significant reductions in viral load, with the effect persisting up to two weeks after discontinuation of treatment.[3] Additional Phase II clinical trials are underway.[4]
Phase IIb data presented at the 20th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in March 2013 showed similar viral suppression rates of 76% for patients taking 100 mg cenicriviroc, 73% with 200 mg cenicriviroc, and 71% with efavirenz. Non-response rates were higher with cenicriviroc, however, largely due to greater drop-out of patients. A new tablet formulation with lower pill burden may improve adherence. Looking at immune and inflammatory biomarkers, levels of MCP-1 increased and soluble CD14 decreased in the cenicriviroc arms.[5]
Although HIV has been largely rendered a chronic infection, there remains a need for new drugs because of the virus’s propensity to develop resistance to the drugs used to keep it at bay.
Pfizer’s maraviroc was the first drug that acted on the cells to prevent viral entry by antagonising the CCR5 co-receptor. Several others have been investigated and have failed; another that is undergoing clinical trials is Takeda’s cenicriviroc, which has been licensed to Tobira Therapeutics. Unlike maraviroc, the new agent also acts at the CCR2 co-receptor, which is implicated in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.
In a Phase I double blind, placebo controlled trial designed to study safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics, treatment-experienced but CCR5 antagonist-naïve patients with HIV-1 were given doses of 25, 50, 75, 100 or 150mg of the drug, or placebo once a day for 10 days.2 The maximum median reductions in HIV-1 RNA values were 0.7, 1.6, 1.8 and 1.7 log10 copies/ml for the respective doses, with a median time to nadir of 10 to 11 days. The effect on CD-4 cell counts was negligible. There was also a significant reduction in levels of monocyte chemotactic protein 1, suggesting that CCR2 was also being blocked. The drug was both generally safe and well tolerated, and no patients withdrew from the trial due to adverse events.
In another Phase I trial, designed to look at pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and carried out in a similar patient population, subjects were given the drug as oral monotherapy for 10 days, again in doses of 25, 50, 75, 100 and 150mg, or placebo.3 The drug was well absorbed into the systemic circulation, and the concentration levels declined slowly, with meant elimination half-lives of one to two days. Potent, dose-dependent reductions in viral load were seen, and again it was generally safe and well tolerated across all levels.
In June 2011, Tobira initiated a multi-centre, double blind, double dummy, 48-week comparative Phase IIb trial in 150 patients with HIV-1 infection. Subjects are being given 100 or 200mg once-daily doses of the drug to evaluate its efficacy, safety and tolerability.

Water (180 mL), followed by Oxone® (Dupont Specialty Chemicals) (170 g, 277 mmol), is added to a suspension of 1 in MeOH (510 mL). The reaction mixture is heated with stirring at 55-60 0C for 3 h. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, diluted with water (40 mL), and stirred at 5 0C (ice bath) for 30 min. The resulting crystals are collected by filtration, washed with water (2 x 100 mL), and dried to afford 6 (13.8 g). This material was used in the next step without further purification, mp 177-178 0C. 1H NMR (DMF-^7): J0.62 (m, IH), 1.11 (m, 2H), 1.29 (m, IH), 1.32 (t, JH-H = 7.0 Hz, 3H), 3.76 (s, 3H), 4.18 (m, IH), 4.21 (d, JH-F = 2.0 Hz, 3H), 4.33 (q, JH–H = 7.0 Hz, 2H), 7.64 (dd, JH-F = 10.0 Hz, 8.5 Hz, IH). Step 2 (R)- 7-[3-(l-amino-l-methyl-ethyl)-pyrrolidin-yl]-l-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-2- methanesulfonyl-8-methoxy-4-oxo-l , 4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (7)

A mixture containing compound (6) (3.88 g, 9.67 mmol), compound 10 (1.64 g, 12.8 mmol), anhydrous DIEA (5.05 g, 39.1 mmol, dried over 4A sieves), and anhydrous DMF (40 mL) is heated at 70 0C under an atmosphere of argon gas. After heating for 4.5 h (LC-MS analysis shows ~7% compound (6) remained), the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc (200 mL), and washed with water (100 mL). The aqueous layer is extracted with EtOAc (100 mL), and the combined organic layers are washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate (100 mL). The organic layer is diluted with water (100 mL) and treated with an aqueous solution of HCl (4 N) until the aqueous layer is acidic (pH 2—3 after shaking the mixture vigorously). The organic layer is separated, and this process is repeated. The combined aqueous layers are diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and treated with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (6 N) until the aqueous layer is basic (pH ~8 after shaking the mixture vigorously). The aqueous layer is separated, and this process is repeated. The combined organic layers are dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure giving an orange solid (3.27 g of an~80:20 mixture of compound (7) and impurity B). This solid is recrystallized from hot EtOAc (~60 mL) furnishing 2.18 g (44% yield) of pure compound 7 as a bright yellow solid. LC-MS mlz calcd for C24H32FN3O6S 509 ([M+]); found 510 ([M + H]+).
This reaction should not be allowed to proceed for more than a few hours (not overnight) as prolonged reaction time can lead to the formation of more side products. The product should be —95% pure (based on HPLC), with only a trace amount of impurity B. Step 3. (R)-7-[3-(l-amino-l-methyl-ethyl)-pyrrolidin-yl]-l-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-2-mercapto-8- methoxy-4-oxo-l,4-dihydro-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (8)

Compound 7 (1.04 g, 2.04 mmol) is partially dissolved in DME (40 mL) under an atmosphere of argon. Sodium hydrosulfide hydrate (Aldrich, 72.6% by titration, 465 mg, 6.02 mmol) in water (3.0 mL) is added to this solution. The resulting mixture is sparged slowly with argon for 30 min.
The progress of the reaction is monitored by HPLC-MS, and judged to be complete (<2% of 7 remains) after 11.5 h. Excess sodium hydrosulfide is quenched upon addition of aq HCl (4.5 mL, 4 N).
The resulting orange solution (pH ~2) is sparged with argon (30 min) to remove the generated hydrogen sulfide. Step. 4 (R)- 7-[3-(l-amino-l-methyl-ethyl)-pyrrolidin-l-yl]-9-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-8-methoxy- 9H-isothiazolo[5, 4-b] -quinoline-3, 4-dione (5)
A solution of potassium carbonate (4.26 g, 30.8 mmol) in water (25 mL) is next added to this solution to give a clear yellow solution (pH 9-10). The clear yellow solution is then sparged with argon for ~5 min. Finally, hydroxylamine-0-sulfonic acid (0.93 g, 8.2 mmol) is added portionwise as a solid, with immediate evolution of gas and formation of the product as a yellow precipitate. After stirring for 16 h, the reaction mixture (pH 10.2) is acidified with aq HCl to pH 8.3 (the approximate isoelectric point of 5) causing additional product to precipitate from solution. The reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure (final volume -40 mL). The yellow precipitate is collected by centrifugation, washed with water (3 x 40 mL, with sonication), and lyophilized to give 0.80 g of 5.

MethylGene Presents Preclinical Data for Its Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor, MG96077, at the 49th Annual ICAAC Meeting
MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Marketwire – Sept. 14, 2009) – MethylGene Inc. (TSX:MYG) today disclosed preclinical data for MG96077, a novel, broad spectrum, non-beta-lactam beta-lactamase inhibitor (BLI). MG96077 possesses a broad-spectrum inhibitory profile for both class A and class C beta-lactamase enzymes, including extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). In addition, the compound overcomes resistance in beta-lactam-resistant organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The data were presented in a poster session at the 49th Annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California.
Poster C1-1373: Novel Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor Potentiates and Extends the Antibacterial Activity of Imipenem against Beta-Lactam-Resistant P. aeruginosa and K. pneumoniae
MG96077 was tested in combination with imipenem, a commonly-used antibiotic agent for a variety of serious infections.
A series of in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies focused on comparing the combination of MG96077 and imipenem to imipenem alone, or imipenem plus currently approved BLIs, were performed. Greater than 90 percent of imipenem-resistant clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae were rendered susceptible with the addition of MG96077 to imipenem. The combination of imipenem and any of the three currently approved BLIs did not achieve greater than 61 percent coverage.
Furthermore, the combination of imipenem and MG96077 in vivo demonstrated 3-6 log reduction in colony forming units (CFU) and a 100 percent survival rate in combating imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa infections of mouse spleen and lung. The pharmacokinetic properties of MG96077 were similar to imipenem in preclinical studies with no observable drug-drug interactions.
Thus, MG96077 is a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor that restores efficacy to imipenem against a high percentage of imipenem-resistant Pseudomonas and Klebsiella strains and, therefore, may address the clinical need for antibacterial therapies with more potent coverage of resistant gram-negative organisms.
MethylGene retains exclusive rights to MG96077 and a series of related molecules. Additional data has been developed regarding MG96077 compared to other beta-lactam antibiotics, as well as other compounds in the series paired with various beta-lactam antibiotics.
“Antibiotic resistance rates are increasing among several problematic gram-negative pathogens, including P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, Acinetobacter spp. and Enterobacteriaceae that are often responsible for serious hospital-acquired infections. In these studies, MG96077 appears to demonstrate activity in a variety of organisms and we look forward to further evaluation of this compound in what is a growing antibiotic market in need of novel treatments,” said Donald F. Corcoran, President and Chief Executive Officer of MethylGene.

Phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotide consisting of a 9-nucleotide central region of deoxynucleotides flanked by 3 2′-O-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) nucleotides on the 5′ end and 8 2′-MOE nucleotides on the 3′ end.
TOORAK, Australia, April 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Antisense Therapeutics Limited (“ANP” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that results from a chronic toxicity study in monkeys indicate that ATL1102, an antisense oligonucleotide currently under development for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), was well-tolerated when given subcutaneously for a 6-month dosing period at the 2 dose levels tested (1.5 and 3mg/kg/dose). The Company believes that the preclinical and clinical experience to date with ATL1102 should allow dosing in future trials at or above the 1.5 mg/kg/dose level.

Antisense Therapeutics
Isis Pharmaceuticals
Antisense Therapeutics Limited (ASX: ANP) is an Australian publicly listed biopharmaceutical drug discovery and development company. Its mission is to create, develop and commercialise second generation antisense pharmaceuticals for large unmet markets. ANP has 4 products in its development pipeline that it has in-licensed from Isis Pharmaceuticals Inc., world leaders in antisense drug development and commercialisation – ATL1102 (injection) which has successfully completed a Phase II efficacy and safety trial, significantly reducing the number of brain lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis, ATL1103 a second-generation antisense drug designed to block GHr production and thereby lower blood IGF-I levels and is in clinical development as a potential treatment for growth and other GH-IGF-I disorders, ATL1102 (inhaled) which is at the pre-clinical research stage as a potential treatment for asthma and ATL1101 a second-generation antisense drug at the pre-clinical stage being investigated as a potential treatment for cancer.
ATL1102 is a second generation antisense inhibitor of CD49d, a subunit of VLA-4 (Very Late Antigen-4). In inflammation, white blood cells (leukocytes) move out of the bloodstream into the inflamed tissue, for example, the Central Nervous System (CNS) in MS, and the lung airways in asthma. The inhibition of VLA-4 may prevent white blood cells from entering sites of inflammation, thereby slowing progression of the disease. VLA-4 is a clinically validated target in the treatment of MS. Antisense inhibition of VLA-4 has demonstrated positive effects in a number of animal models of inflammatory disease including MS with the MS animal data having been published in a peer reviewed scientific journal. ATL1102 was previously shown by Antisense Therapeutics to be highly effective in reducing MS lesions in a Phase IIa clinical trial in MS patients.
ATL-1102 is an antisense oligonucleotide in phase II clinical trials at Isis Pharmaceuticals and Antisense Therapeutics for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) in a subcutaneous injection formulation. Phase I clinical trials in a subcutaneous injections for stem cell mobilization and preclinical studies of an inhalation formulation of the drug candidate for the treatment of asthma are also being conducted at Antisense Therapeutics.
ATL-1102 is complementary to nt 4288-4207 (3’UTR) of human integrin alpha 4 (ITGA4) cDNA, and thus inhibits ITGA4 expression, blocking the synthesis of CD49d, a subunit of very late antigen-4 (VLA-4). VLA-4 is known to play a part in both the onset and progression of MS, and its inhibition may prevent white blood cells from entering the central nervous system.
ATL-1102 was originally developed at Isis Pharmaceuticals. In December 2001, Isis and Circadian Technologies formed Antisense Therapeutics, established to focus on the discovery and development of antisense therapeutics. As part of the company’s formation, Antisense Therapeutics received a license to ATL-1102 and entered into a five-year antisense drug discovery and development program with Isis. In 2008, Antisense licensed ATL-1102 to Teva. In 2010, Teva terminated its licensee agreement with Antisense for the development of ATL-1102 for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The company stated that the compound was not on line with its preferred product pipeline. In 2001, ATL-1102 was licensed to Antisense Therapeutics by Isis Pharmaceuticals. In 2012, development and commercialization rights to the product were licensed to Tianjin International Joint Academy of Biotechnology and
