Enzyme acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 (DGAT-1) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in triglyceride synthesis. It has recently emerged as an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of Type II diabetes and obesity.

It is estimated that somewhere between 34 and 61 million people in the US are obese and, in much of the developing world, incidence is increasing by about 1% per year. Obesity increases the likelihood of death from all causes by 20%, and more specifically, death from coronary artery disease and stroke are increased by 25% and 10%, respectively. Key priorities of anti-obesity treatments are to reduce food intake and/or hyperlipidemia. Since the latter has been suggested to provoke insulin resistance, molecules developed to prevent the accumulation of triglyceride would not only reduce obesity but they would also have the additional effect of reducing insulin resistance, a primary factor contributing to the development of diabetes. The therapeutic activity of leptin agonists has come under scrutiny through their potential to reduce food intake and, also, to reverse insulin resistance; however, their potential may be compromised by leptin-resistance, a characteristic of obesity. Acyl coenzyme A:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT-1) is one of two known DGAT enzymes that catalyze the final step in mammalian triglyceride synthesis and an enzyme that is tightly implicated in both the development of obesity and insulin resistance. DGAT-1 deficient mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity through a mechanism involving increased energy expenditure. US researchers have now shown that these mice have decreased levels of tissue triglycerides, as well as increased sensitivity to insulin and to leptin. Importantly, DGAT-1 deficiency protects against insulin resistance and obesity in agouti yellow mice, a model of severe leptin resistance. Thus, DGAT-1 may represent a useful target for the treatment of insulin and leptin resistance and hence human obesity and diabetes. Chen, H. C., et al., J Clin Invest, 109(8), 1049-55 (2002).

Although studies show that DGAT-1 inhibition is useful for treating obesity and diabetes, there remains a need for DGAT-1 inhibitors that have efficacy for the treatment of metabolic disorders (e.g., obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance syndrome (also referred to as “metabolic syndrome”)).

An addition funnel was charged with 1-phenylcyclobutanecarbonitrile (11.40 g, 72.5 mmol), and this neat starting material was added drop wise at such a rate that the internal reaction temperature did not exceed 10° C. Upon completion of the addition (which required 90 min), the mixture was poured onto 300 g of ice and stirred vigorously for 30 minutes. The resulting suspension was filtered, and the solid was washed with water and dried under vacuum to afford give 1-(4-nitrophenyl)cyclobutanecarbonitrile (13.53 g, 92%) as a light tan powder.

Abstract Image
A practical large-scale synthesis was developed for 1, a DGAT-1 inhibitor, involving an aza-Michael reaction, amidation, Dieckman cyclization, and conjugate addition of cyanamide followed by cyclization, to form the fused 4-amino-7,8-dihydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-one scaffold. The enabled process presented here substantially improved safety (in particular, due to eliminating a nitration step and optimizing a high-energy intermediate step), reproducibility, and scalability, resulting in delivery of a multikilogram quantity of the API with high purity. The controls of API quality and particle size were also discussed.

FDA Approves Cyramza, ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) for Stomach Cancer


 

April 21, 2014 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Cyramza (ramucirumab) to treat patients with advanced stomach cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, a form of cancer located in the region where the esophagus joins the stomach.

Stomach cancer forms in the tissues lining the stomach and mostly affects older adults. According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 22,220 Americans will be diagnosed with stomach cancer and 10,990 will die from the disease, this year.

Cyramza is an angiogenesis inhibitor that blocks the blood supply to tumors. It is intended for patients whose cancer cannot be surgically removed (unresectable) or has spread (metastatic) after being treated with a fluoropyrimidine- or platinum-containing therapy.

“Although the rates of stomach cancer in the United States have decreased over the past 40 years, patients require new treatment options, particularly when they no longer respond to other therapies,” said Richard Pazdur, M.D., director of the Office of Hematology and Oncology Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Cyramza is new treatment option that has demonstrated an ability to extend patients’ lives and slow tumor growth.”

Cyramza’s safety and effectiveness were evaluated in a clinical trial of 355 participants with unresectable or metastatic stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Two-thirds of trial participants received Cyramza while the remaining participants received a placebo. The trial was designed to measure the length of time participants lived before death (overall survival).

Results showed participants treated with Cyramza experienced a median overall survival of 5.2 months compared to 3.8 months in participants receiving placebo. Additionally, participants who took Cyramza experienced a delay in tumor growth (progression-free survival) compared to participants who were given placebo. Results from a second clinical trial that evaluated the efficacy of Cyramza plus paclitaxel (another cancer drug) versus paclitaxel alone also showed an improvement in overall survival.

Common side effects experienced by Cyramza-treated participants during clinical testing include diarrhea and high blood pressure.

The FDA reviewed Cyramza under its priority review program, which provides an expedited review for drugs that have the potential, at the time the application was submitted, to be a significant improvement in safety or effectiveness in the treatment of a serious condition. Cyramza was also granted orphan product designation because it is intended to treat a rare disease or condition.

Cyramza is marketed by Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly.

Eli Lilly’s third-quarter earnings fell 9 percent compared with last year, when the maker of Cymbalta and Cialis booked a sizeable revenue-sharing payment from a former drug developer partner.

The Indianapolis company beat Wall Street expectations for the quarter and narrowed its earnings forecast for the year.

Lilly also said Wednesday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration will give its stomach cancer treatment ramucirumab a priority review, which means the drugmaker will learn about its fate inside of eight months rather than a year, which is the norm.

Ramucirumab (IMC-1121B)[1] is a fully human monoclonal antibody (IgG1) being developed for the treatment of solid tumors. It is directed against the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). By binding to VEGFR2 it works as a receptor antagonist blocking the binding of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to VEGFR2. VEGFR2 is known to mediate the majority of the downstream effects of VEGF inangiogenesis.

Ramucirumab is being tested in several phase III clinical trials for the treatment of metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma,[2] non-small cell lung cancer,[3] among other types of cancer. On September 26, 2013 Eli Lilly announced that its Phase III study for ramucirumab failed to hit its primary endpoint on progression-free survival among women with metastatic breast cancer.[4][5]

This drug was developed by ImClone Systems Inc. It was isolated from a native phage display library from Dyax.

In this work, a novel oxazolidinone compound FYL-67 was synthesized, and the obtained FYL-67 could form nanoassemblies in aqueous solution by a self-assembly method without using any carrier, organic solvent, or surfactant. The prepared FYL-67 nanoassemblies had a particle size of 264.6 ± 4.3 nm. The FYL-67 nanoassemblies can be lyophilized into a powder form without any cryoprotector or excipient, and the re-dissolved FYL-67 nanoassemblies are stable and homogeneous. The in vitro release profile showed a significant difference between rapid release of free FYL-67 and much slower and sustained release of FYL-67 nanoassemblies. In vitro susceptibility tests were conducted in three strains of methicillin-susceptibleStaphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and three strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA), using linezolid as a positive control. FYL-67 nanoassemblies exhibited excellent in vitro activity, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.5 μg mL−1 against MRSA. In the in vitro post-antibiotic effect (PAE) evaluation, FYL-67 nanoassemblies showed a more powerful effect than linezolid. Besides, in vitro cytotoxicity tests indicated that FYL-67 nanoassemblies had a very low cytotoxicity on HEK293 cells and L02 cells. Furthermore, in both MSSA and MRSA systemic infection mouse models, FYL-67 nanoassemblies showed a lower ED50 than linezolid. In a murine model of MRSA systemic infection, FYL-67 nanoassemblies displayed an ED50 of less than 4.0 mg kg−1, which is 2.3-fold better than that oflinezolid. Our findings suggested that the FYL-67 nanoassemblies may be a potential drugcandidate in MRSA therapy.

Abstract Image

 

A concise, environmentally benign, and cost-effective route was developed for the large-scale preparation of 1, a novel oxazolidinone antibacterial candidate. The key intermediate 2-(1-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyridine 7 was prepared with high purity by mild deamination of the regioisomeric mixture 21. The mixture was prepared from a nucleophilic SNAr reaction by selective C–N coupling of the secondary amine functionality of 4-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-3-amine 14 with 1,2-difluoro-4-nitrobenzene 10 in optimized conditions with the primary amine group remaining intact. The gaseous nitrogen release rate and reaction mixture temperature of the deamination step can be well controlled by altering the feeding manner, thereby providing safety guarantees. The optimized synthetic strategy of 1 with an overall yield of 27.6%, including seven sequential transformations by only five solid–liquid isolations, significantly improved the product separation workup. The strategy bypassed time-consuming and laborious procedures for any intermediate involved as well as for the final API. This study presents a process enabling the rapid delivery of a multikilogram quantity of API with high purity.

In a 50-L reactor, 9 (1.8 kg, 4.64 mol) and 8 (1.79 kg, 9.27 mol) were dissolved in THF (12.6 L) at −5 °C. The reaction mixture was degassed by purging with N2. Then, methanol (375 mL, 9.27 mol) was added to the mixture under N2 atmosphere. After stirring for about 10 min at −5 °C, lithium tert-amylate (1.11 kg, 13.91 mol) was added to the mixture in one portion with an exotherm from −5 to 17 °C. The resulting solution was cooled to −5 °C, yielding a thick slurry, and stirred for about 1 h and stirred again at 25 °C for about 15 h. The slurry was cooled to 10 °C. The reaction was quenched by adding acetic acid (525 mL, 9.27 mol) in one portion and stirred for 30 min. The reaction mixture was then evaporated to dryness at 30 °C. The solid residue was allowed to soak for 3 h in water (30 L), stirred, filtered under reduced pressure, and washed with water (10 L × 3). The solid filtered cake was suspended in ethyl acetate (10 L). The resulting suspension was heated to reflux for 2 h, cooled to 25 °C, and filtered under reduced pressure. The collected solid was resuspended in a mixture of EtOH and water (6 L/2 L) and heated to reflux for 2 h. The slurry was cooled to 25 °C, filtered under reduced pressure, and washed with EtOH (3 L × 2). The filtered cake was dried in an oven to a constant weight at 45 °C. The final product was an off-white solid 1 (1.5 kg, isolated yield of 82%).
The HPLC purity was over 99.9%.

Evacetrapib is a drug under development by Eli Lilly & Company (investigational name LY2484595) that inhibits cholesterylester transfer protein, which transfers and thereby increases high-density lipoprotein and lowers low-density lipoprotein. It is thought that modifying lipoprotein levels modifies the risk of cardiovascular disease.[1]

The first CETP inhibitor, torcetrapib, was unsuccessful because it increased levels of the hormone aldosterone and increased blood pressure,[2] which led to excess cardiac events when it was studied.[2] Evacetrapib does not have the same effect.[1] When studied in a small clinical trial in people with elevated LDL and low HDL, significant improvements were noted in their lipid profile.[3]

LY-2484595 is in phase III clinical trials at Lilly for the treatment of high-risk vascular disease and in phase II for the treatment of dyslipidemia.

Evacetrapib is one of two CETP inhibitors currently being evaluated (the other being anacetrapib).[1] Two other CETP inhibitors (torcetrapib and dalcetrapib) were discontinued during trials due to increased deaths and little identifiable cardiovascular benefit (despite substantial increases in HDL). Some hypothesize that CETP inhibitors may still be useful in the treatment of dyslipidemia, though significant caution is warranted.[2]

DOI: 10.1021/op500025v
For the synthesis of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor evacetrapib, a hydrogenative reductive amination was chosen to join the substituted cyclohexyl subunit to the benzazepine core. The addition of water, which suppressed undesired epimerization without affecting the rate of product formation, was key to the reaction’s success. The process was scaled to produce more than 1100 kg of material.

Estrogen Related Receptor alpha (ERR-a) modulators useful for treating, ameliorating, or inhibiting the progression of disease states, disorders, and

conditions mediated by ERR-a activity. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Nuclear receptors are members of a superfamily of transcription factors.

The members of this family share structural similarities and regulate a diverse set of biological effects (Olefsky, J. M. J. Biol. Chem. 2001 , 276(40), 36863-36864). Ligands activate or repress these transcription factors that control genes involved in metabolism, differentiation and reproduction (Laudet, V. and H. Gronmeyer. The Nuclear Receptor Factbooks. 2002, San Diego: Academic Press). Presently, the human genome project has identified about 48 members for this family and cognate ligands have been identified for about 28 of them (Giguere, V. Endocrine Rev. 1999, 20(5), 689-725). This protein family is composed of modular structural domains that can be interchanged within the members of the family without loss of function. A typical nuclear receptor contains a hypervariable N-terminus, a conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a hinge region, and a conserved ligand- binding domain (LBD). The function of the DBD is targeting of the receptor to specific DNA sequences (Nuclear Hormone Receptor (NHR) response elements or NREs), and the function of the LBD is recognition of its cognate ligand. Within the sequence of the nuclear receptor there are regions involved in transcriptional activation. The Activation Function 1 (AF-1 ) domain is situated at the N-terminus and constitutively activates transcription (Rochette-Egly, C. et al. Cell 1997, 90, 97-107; Rochette-Egly, C. et al. Mol. Endocrinol. 1992, 6, 2197-2209), while the Activation Function 2 (AF-2) domain is embedded within the LBD and its transcriptional activation is ligand dependent (Wurtz, J.M. et al. Nat. Struct. Biol. 1996, 3, 87-94). Nuclear receptors can exist as monomers, homodimers or heterodimers and bind to direct or inverted nucleotide repeats (Laudet and

Gronmeyer, 2002; Aranda, A. and A. Pascual. Physiol. Rev. 2001 , 81 (3), 1269- 1304).

The members of this family exist either in an activated or repressed basal biological state. The basic mechanism of gene activation involves ligand dependent exchange of co-regulatory proteins. These co-regulatory proteins are referred to as co-activators or co-repressors (McKenna, L.J. et al. Endocrine Rev. 1999, 20, 321 -344). A nuclear receptor in the repressed state is bound to its DNA response element and is associated with co-repressor proteins that recruit histone de-acetylases (HDACs) (Jones, P.L. and Y.B. Shi. Curr. Top. Microbiol. Immunol. 2003, 274, 237-268). In the presence of an agonist there is an exchange of co- repressors with co-activators that in turn recruit transcription factors that assemble into an ATP dependent chromatin-remodeling complex. Histones are hyper- acetylated, causing the nucleosome to unfold, and repression is alleviated. The AF-2 domain acts as the ligand dependent molecular switch for the exchange of co-regulatory proteins. In the presence of an agonist the AF-2 domain undergoes a conformational transition and presents a surface on the LBD for interaction with co-activator proteins. In the absence of an agonist or in the presence of an antagonist the AF-2 domain presents a surface that promotes interactions with co- repressor proteins. The interaction surfaces on the LBD for both co-activators, and co-repressors overlap and provide a conserved molecular mechanism for gene activation or repression that is shared by the members of this family of transcription factors (Xu, H.E. et al. Nature 2002, 415 (6873), 813-817).

Natural ligands that modulate the biological activity of nuclear receptors have been identified for only approximately one half of known nuclear receptors. Receptors for which no natural ligand has been identified are termed “orphan receptors.” The discovery of ligands or compounds that interact with an orphan receptor will accelerate the understanding of the role of the nuclear receptors in physiology and disease and facilitate the pursuit of new therapeutic approaches. Estrogen related receptors (ERRs) constitutes a sub-class of these receptors where no ligand has been identified.

ERR-a (also known as ERR-1 ), an orphan receptor, is the first of the three identified members of the estrogen receptor related subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors (ERR-a, β, γ). The ERR subfamily is closely related to the estrogen receptors (ER-a and ER-β). ERR-a and ERR-β were first isolated by a low stringency hybridization screen (Giguere, V. et al. Nature 1988, 331 , 91 -94) followed later with the discovery of ERR-γ (Hong, H. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1999, 274, 22618-22626). The ERRs and ERs share sequence similarity with the highest homology observed in their DBDs, approximately 60%, and all interact with the classical DNA estrogen response element. Recent biochemical evidence suggested that the ERRs and ERs share target genes, including pS2, lactoferin, aromatase and osteopontin, and share co-regulator proteins (Giguere, V. Trends in Endocrinol. Metab. 2002, 13, 220-225; Vanacker, J.M. et al. EMBO J. 1999, 18, 4270-4279; Kraus, R.J. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2002, 272, 24286-24834; Hong et al., 1999; Zhang, Z. and C.T. Teng. J. Biol. Chem. 2000, 275, 20387-20846).

Therefore, one of the main functions of ERR is to regulate the response of estrogen responsive genes. The effect of the steroid hormone estrogen is primarily mediated in the breast, bone and endometrium. Thus, the identification of compounds that will interact with ERRs should provide a benefit for the treatment of bone related disease, breast cancer and reproduction.

ERR-a is shown to be present both in normal and breast cancer tissue (Ariazi, E.A. et al. Cancer Res. 2002, 62, 6510-6518). It has been reported that the main function of ERR-a in normal breast tissue is that of a repressor for estrogen responsive genes. In breast cancers or cell lines that are non-estrogen responsive (ER-a negative), ERR-a has been reported to be in an activated state (Ariazi et al., 2002). Therefore, compounds that will interact with ERR-a may be useful agents for the treatment of breast cancer that is ER-a negative and non- responsive to classical anti-estrogenic therapy, or may be used as an adjunct agent for anti-estrogen responsive breast cancers. These agents may act as antagonists by reducing the biological activity of ERR-a in these particular tissues.

Many post-menopausal women experience osteoporosis, a condition that is a result of the reduction of estrogen production. Reduction of estrogen levels results in an increase of bone loss (Turner, R.T. et al. Endocrine Rev. 1994, 15(3), 275-300). An anabolic effect on bone development has been observed on the administration of estrogens to postmenopausal patients with osteoporosis (Pacifici, R. J. Bone Miner. Res. 1996, 1 1 (8), 1043-1051 ) but the molecular mechanism is unknown since ER-a and ER-β knock-out animals have minor skeletal defects, where the action of estrogens is typically mediated (Korach, K. S. Science 1994, 266, 1524-1527; Windahl, S.H. et al. J. Clin. Invest. 1999, 104(7), 895-901 ). Expression of ERR-a in bone is regulated by estrogen (Bonnelye, E. et al. Mol. Endocrin. 1997, 1 1 , 905-916; Bonnelye, E. et al. J. Cell Biol. 2001 , 153, 971 -984). ERR-a is maintained throughout osteoblast differentiation stages.

Over-expression of ERR-a in rat calvaria osteoblasts, an accepted model of bone differentiation, results in an increase of bone nodule formation, while treatment of rat calvaria osteoblasts with ERR-a antisense results in a decrease of bone nodule formation. ERR-a also regulates osteopontin, a protein believed to be involved in bone matrix formation. Therefore compounds that will modulate ERR-a by increasing its activity can have an anabolic effect for the regeneration of bone density and provide a benefit over current approaches that prevent bone loss, but have no anabolic effect. Such compounds can enhance the activity of the receptor by two possible mechanisms: i) enhancing the association of the receptor with proteins that enhance its activity or improve the stability of the receptor; and ii) increasing the intracellular concentrations of the receptor and consequently increasing its activity. Conversely, with respect to bone diseases that are a result of abnormal bone growth, compounds that will interact with ERR-a and decrease its biological activity may provide a benefit for the treatment of these diseases by retarding bone growth. Antagonism of the association of the receptor with co- activator proteins decreases the activity of the receptor.

ERR-a is also present in cardiac, adipose, and muscle tissue and forms a transcriptional active complex with the PGC-1 co-activator family, co-activators implicated with energy homeostasis, mitochondria biogenesis, hepatic

gluconeogenesis and in the regulation of genes involved in fatty acid beta- oxidation (Kamei, Y. et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2003, 100(21 ), 12378- 12383). ERR-a regulates the expression of the medium chain acyl-CoA

dehydrogenase promoter (MCAD). Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is a gene involved in the initial reaction in fatty acid beta-oxidation. It is believed that in the adipose tissue ERR-a regulates energy expenditure through the regulation of MCAD (Sladek, R. et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 1997, 17, 5400-5409; Vega, R.B. and D.P. Kelly. J. Biol. Chem. 1997, 272, 31693-31699). In antisense experiments in rat calvaria osteoblasts, in addition to the inhibition of bone nodule formation, there was an increase in adipocyte differentiation markers including aP2 and PPAR-γ (Bonnelye, E. et al. Endocrinology 2002, 143, 3658-3670). Recently an ERR-a knockout model has been described that exhibited reduced fat mass relative to the wild type and DNA chip analysis data indicated alteration of the expression levels of genes involved in adipogenesis and energy metabolism (Luo, J. et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2003, 23(22), 7947-7956). More recently it has been shown that ERR-a regulates the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, a gene that has a protective mechanism against arteriosclerosis (Sumi, D. and L.J. Ignarro. Proc Natl. Acad. Sci. 2003, 100, 14451 -14456). The biochemical evidence supports the involvement of ERR-a in metabolic homeostasis and differentiation of cells into adipocytes. Therefore, compounds interacting with ERR-a can affect energy homeostasis and may therefore provide a benefit for the treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome related disease indications, including arteriosclerosis and diabetes (Grundy, S.M. et al. Circulation 2004, 109(3), 433-438).

There is a continuing need for new ERR-a inverse agonists. There is also a need for ERR-a inverse agonists useful for the treatment of conditions including but not limited to ankylosing spondylitis, artherosclerosis, arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis, infectious arthritis, childhood arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis), bone-related diseases (including those related to bone formation), breast cancer (including those unresponsive to anti-estrogen therapy), cardiovascular disorders, cartilage-related disease (such as cartilage injury/loss, cartilage degeneration, and those related to cartilage formation),

chondrodysplasia, chondrosarcoma, chronic back injury, chronic bronchitis, chronic inflammatory airway disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, disorders of energy homeostasis, gout, pseudogout, lipid disorders, metabolic syndrome, multiple myeloma, obesity, osteoarthritis, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteolytic bone metastasis, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, periodontal disease, polymyalgia rheumatica, Reiter’s syndrome, repetitive stress injury, hyperglycemia, elevated blood glucose level, and insulin resistance.

Example 1 ) and 1 ,1 -dimethylethyl frans-4-(2,4-dioxo-1 ,3-thiazolidin-3-yl)-3- fluoropiperidine-1 -carboxylate following General Procedure F.

Preparation 2:

(A) A mixture of 1 ,1 -dimethylethyl 7-oxa-3-azabicyclo[4.1 .0]heptane-3- carboxylate (from Example 270; 47.7 mmol), [(5Z)-5-({1 -[4-chloro-2- (trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-1 /-/-indazol-5-yl}methylidene)-2,4-dioxo-1 ,3- thiazolidine (from Example 1 ; 31 .8 mmol) and magnesium perchlorate (23.9 mmol) in DMF (70 mL) was heated at 1 15 °C for 2-4 h. After cooling to rt, the mixture was slowly poured into water (300 mL) with vigorous stirring, and the resultant precipitate was filtered, thoroughly washed with water and dried to afford a mixture of 1 ,1 -dimethylethyl frans-4-{(5Z)-5-[(1 –

{[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}-1 /-/-indazol-5-yl)methylidene]- 2,4-dioxo-1 ,3-thiazolidin-3-yl}-3-hydroxypiperidine-1 -carboxylate and the corresponding regioisomer, 1 ,1 -dimethylethyl frans-3-{(5Z)-5-[(1 -{[4-chloro- 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}-1 /-/-indazol-5-yl)methylidene]-2,4-dioxo- 1 ,3-thiazolidin-3-yl}-4-hydroxypiperidine-1 -carboxylate in ratio of ~ 3.3 : 1 .

After stirring for 1 h, the solution was allowed to warm to rt and stir overnight. The reaction was then quenched with sat’d aq. NaHCO3 and after separating phases, the organic phase was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to ~ 40 mL. The solution was loaded onto a silica gel column (Analogix, 200g) and eluted with heptanes/DCM/EtOAc (40:57:3).

Product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated to afford a crude product mixture as a pale yellow foam. Treatment of this foam with ether (~ 20 mL) led to product precipitation; additional ether (200 mL) was added portionwise with stirring and after cooling to ~ 5 °C, the mixture was filtered through a glass fiber filter and washed with cold ether to afford 1 ,1 – dimethylethyl frans-4-{(5Z)-5-[(1 -{[4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]- methyl}-1 H-indazol-5-yl)methylidene]-2,4-dioxo-1 ,3-thiazolidin-3-yl}-3- fluoropiperidine-1 -carboxylate as an essentially white powder.

The development of a reproducible process for multihundred gram production of (Z)-5-((1-(4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1H-indazol-5-yl)methylene)-3-((3R,4R)-3-fluoro-1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)thiazolidine-2,4-dione (26), a potent and selective inhibitor of estrogen-related receptor 1 (ERR1), is described. This multihundred gram synthesis was achieved via magnesium perchlorate-catalyzed regioselective epoxide ring-opening of tert-butyl 7-oxa-3-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-3-carboxylate (9) with thiazolidine-2,4-dione (6, TZD) to form a diastereomeric mixture tert-butyl 4-(2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl)-3-hydroxypiperidine-1-carboxylate (17), of which the 3-hydroxyl group was functionally transformed to 3-fluoro derivative 19 after treatment with Deoxo-Fluor. Chiral separation of 19 provided the desired diastereomer (3R,4R)-21 that was converted to the secondary amine 23 TFA salt. Reductive amination of 23 produced the key intermediate N-methyl 24. Knoevenagel condensation of24 with 1-(4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1H-indazole-5-carbaldehyde (5) produced the final product 26 in 10% overall yield (99.7% HPLC area% with ≥99.5% de) after a convergent eight synthetic steps with the only column purification being the chiral HPLC separation of 3R,4R21 from 3S,4S22.

EMA:LinkUS FDA:link

The endorsement for Giotrif (afatinib) covers the drug’s use in the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation, which is present in about 10 per cent of people with NSCLC.

It caps a good month for Boehringer, which won US approval for the drug under the brand name Gilotrif two weeks ago, adding to the company’s list of therapy areas, which so far include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anticoagulation, HIV, Parkinson’s disease and diabetes.

In the US, the drug is approved alongside a companion diagnostic to help determine if a patient’s lung cancer cells express the EGFR mutations, whereas the EMA recommendation just includes the requirement that Giotrif be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the use of anti-cancer therapies.

Afatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. RE43,431 and

6,251,912. Afatinib is depicted by Formula la:

Formula la

Afatinib is presented as the dimaleate salt and is chemically designated as 2-butenamide, N-[4-[(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)amino]-7-[[(35)-tetrahydro-3-furanyl]oxy]-6-quinazolinyl]-4-(dimethylamino)-,(2£)-,(2Z)-2-butenedioate (1 :2) having the structure depicted by Formula I:

Formula I

Processes for the preparation of 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid or its salts are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,126,025 and U.S. Publication No. 2012/0046494.

U.S. Patent No. 7,126,025 discloses a process for the preparation of 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid or its salts by reacting but-2-enoic acid with

chlorotrimethylsilane in pyridine to obtain trimethylsilylcrotonate, which is brominated with a brominating agent under free radical conditions and in the presence of methylene chloride, acetonitrile, 1,2-dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, or ethyl acetate to give trimethylsilyl-4-bromocrotonate. The bromocrotonate compound is treated with dimethylamine in tetrahydrofuran to provide the 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid.

U.S. Patent No. 7,126,025 also discloses a process for the preparation of 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid by treating methyl or ethyl 4-bromocrotonate with dimethylamine to provide methyl or ethyl 4-dimethylaminocrotonate, which is hydrolyzed to provide the 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid.

U.S. Publication No. 2012/0046494 discloses a process for the preparation of 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid or its salts by converting alkyl 4-chloro-3 -hydroxy butyrate to alkyl 4-hydroxy crotonate, which is brominated to obtain alkyl 4-bromo crotonate. The alkyl 4-bromo crotonate is treated with dimethyl amine to provide alkyl 4-dimethylaminocrotonate, which is hydrolyzed to get the 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid.

The use of pyridine or carbon tetrachloride is toxic to humans and therefore their use for the manufacture of a drug substance is not advisable. The bromocrotonate compounds, being lachrymatory in nature, are difficult to handle on an industrial scale.

The present invention provides a faster, more efficient, and industrially feasible process for the preparation of 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid of Formula II, which is used as an intermediate for the preparation of afatinib or its salts.

A first aspect of the present invention provides a process for the preparation of 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid of Formula II or its salts,

Formula II

comprising the steps of:

i) converting 2,2-diethoxy-N,N-dimethylethanamine of Formula III

Formula III

to ethyl-4-(dimethylamino)crotonate of Formula IV; and

Formula IV

ii) hydrolyzing the ethyl-4-(dimethylamino)crotonate of Formula IV.

A second aspect of the present invention provides a process for the preparation of afatinib of Formula la or its salts,

Formula la

comprising the steps of:

i) converting 2,2-diethoxy-N,N-dimethylethanamine of Formula III

Formula III

to ethyl-4-(dimethylamino)crotonate of Formula IV;

Formula IV

ii) hydrolyzing the ethyl -4-(dimethylamino)crotonate of Formula IV to obtain 4- dimethylaminocrotonic acid of Formula II or its salts; and

Formula II

iii) converting the 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid of Formula II or its salts to afatinib of Formula la or its salts.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 : Preparation of ethyl-4-(dimethylamino)crotonate (Formula IV)

In a round bottom flask, 2,2-diethoxy-N,N-dimethylethanamine (Formula III, 200 g) and deionized water (100 mL) were added at about 20°C to about 25°C. To the solution, concentrated hydrochloric acid (240 mL) was added at about 25°C to about 50°C. The temperature of the reaction mixture was raised to about 70°C. The reaction mixture was stirred at about 60°C to about 70°C for about 12 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to about 0°C. To the reaction mixture, about 200 mL of aqueous potassium hydroxide (240 g in 250 mL water) was added at about 0°C to about 10°C to attain a pH of 9.0. To the reaction mixture, ethyl(diethoxyphosphoryl) acetate (200 g) and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (600 mL) were added at about 0°C to about 5°C. Further, 50 mL of aqueous potassium hydroxide was added to the reaction mixture at about -5°C to about 0°C to attain a pH of about 13.5. The reaction mixture was stirred at about -5°C to about 0°C for about 1 hour. The reaction mixture was filtered, and then the filtrate was recovered under vacuum at about 45°C to about 50°C to obtain ethyl-4-(dimethylamino)crotonate as an oily mass.

Yield: 89%

Example 2: Preparation of 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid hydrochloride (Formula ID

In a round bottom flask, ethyl -4-(dimethylamino)crotonate (Formula IV, 120 g) and ethanol (480 mL) were added at about 25°C to about 35°C. To the solution, aqueous sodium hydroxide (30.5 g in 60 mL water) was added at about 10°C to about 20°C. The temperature of the reaction mixture was raised to about 50°C. The reaction mixture was stirred at about 50°C to about 55°C for about 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to about 5°C. To the reaction mixture, concentrated hydrochloric acid (120 mL) was added to attain a pH of 1.5. The reaction mixture was filtered on Celite® and washed with ethanol (50 mL). The filtrate was recovered under vacuum at about 55°C to about 60°C to obtain a crude mass. Ethanol (240 mL) was added to the crude mass, and then the reaction mixture was stirred at about 55°C to about 60°C for about 15 minutes to obtain a solution. In the solution, sodium chloride was obtained as a byproduct. The solution was filtered to discard sodium chloride. The filtrate was recovered under vacuum at about 55°C to about 60°C to obtain a residue. To the residue, isopropanol (400 mL) was added, and then the reaction mixture was stirred at about 55°C to about 60°C to obtain a clear solution. The solution was gradually cooled to about 25°C to about 30°C. The solution was further stirred at the same temperature for about 2 hours. The solid obtained was filtered, and then washed with isopropanol (50 mL). The solid was dried under vacuum at about 55°C to about 60°C to provide 4-dimethylaminocrotonic acid hydrochloride.

Development of a convergent synthesis of omarigliptin (MK-3102) suitable for commercial manufacture is described. The target molecule is assembled through a diastereoselective reductive amination of a highly functionalized pyranone with a mesylated pyrazole followed by deprotection of a Boc group. The synthesis of the pyranone relies on three Ru-catalyzed reactions: (1) a DKR reduction of a rac-α-aminoketone to set the two contiguous stereogenic centers, (2) a cycloisomerization of a bis-homopropargylic alcohol to a dihydropyran, and, finally, (3) a Ru-catalyzed oxidation of a pyranol to the desired pyranone. The regioselective synthesis of a N-Boc-1-mesyl pyrazole fragment was achieved via base-promoted mesyl group isomerization to afford 30:1 selectivity. A highlight of the endgame process development is telescoping a Boc deprotection and reductive amination followed by direct crystallization of the penultimate from the reaction mixture. This avoids handling of an unstable, mutagenic 1-mesylpyrazole BSA salt used in the earlier multikilogram deliveries and improves the overall diastereoselectivity and efficiency of the route.

Enzyme revealed as promising target to treat asthma and cancer


Lyranara.me's avatarLyra Nara Blog

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists have identified an enzyme involved in the regulation of immune system T cells that could be a useful target in treating asthma and boosting the effects of certain cancer therapies.

In research described online April 6 in Nature Immunology, the investigators show that mice without the enzyme SKG1 were resistant to dust mite-induced asthma. And mice with melanoma and missing the enzyme, developed far fewer lung tumors—less than half as many—than mice with SKG1.

“If we can develop a drug that blocks the enzyme in a way that mimics what happens when the enzyme is missing, we would not only have a treatment to inhibit asthma, but also a drug that could be used in conjunction with other experimental therapies aimed at helping the immune system fight cancer,” said Jonathan D. Powell, M.D., professor of oncology at the…
