Albaconazole (UR-9825) is a triazole antifungal. It has potential broad-spectrum activity.
Albaconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent being evaluated in phase II clinical trials by Stiefel for the oral treatment of fungal infections, including toenail fungus, distal onychomycosis and subungual onychomycosis. Early clinical trials for the treatment of tinea pedis have been completed. In September 2005, Uriach, originator of albaconazole, granted Stiefel exclusive rights to develop and market albaconazole on a worldwide basis. In November 2006, Uriach’s R&D pipeline was transferred to Palau Pharma, a newly-created spin-out company. Under the terms of the agreement with Stiefel, Palau retains rights as comarketing partner in some European countries. In August 2013, Palau Pharma granted worldwide rights to Actavis. A triazole, albaconazole, has shown potent activity against a broad range of organisms, including pathogens resistant to other antifungals, such as fluconazole or itraconazole. It will be developed as an oral and topical formulation, and is expected to be available to the medical community for a variety of dermatological indications and fungal infections, including vulvovaginal candidiasis.

The condensation of the chiral oxazolidinone (I) with 2,4-difluorophenacyl bromide (II) by means of NaHMDS in THF/Et2 O gives the chiral oxirane (III), which is treated with LiOH and H2O2 to eliminate the chiral auxiliary, yielding the carboxylic acid (IV). The cleavage of the oxirane ring of (IV) with 1,2,4-triazole (V) and NaH in hot DMF affords the chiral hydroxyacid (VI), which is submitted to Curtius rearrangement by means of DPPA in hot pyridine to provide the chiral oxazolidinone (VII). The cleavage of the oxazolidinone ring of (VII) by means of refluxing aq. HCl gives the chiral aminoalcohol (VIII), which is condensed with 2-amino-4-chlorobenzoic acid (IX) by means of DCC and HOBt to yield the corresponding amide (X). Finally, this compound is cyclized to the target quinazolinone by reaction with triethyl orthoformate in hot dioxane/NMP.

…………………………………………..

The condensation of (R)-lactic acid (I) with morpholine (II) gives the corresponding morpholide (III), which is protected at the hydroxyl position with dihydropyran (IV) to yield the tetrahydropyranyl ether (V). The Grignard reaction of (V) with 2,4-difluorophenylmagnesium bromide (VI) affords the chiral 1-propanone (VII), which by a Corey’s diastereoselective epoxidation with trimethylsulfoxonium iodide is converted into the oxirane (VIII). The opening of the oxirane ring of (VIII) by means of 1,2,4-triazole (IX) and NaH provides the tertiary alcohol (X), which is treated with pyridine p-toluenesulfonate to give the deprotected diol (XI) as a (2R,3R) and (2R,3S) 4:1 diastereomeric mixture, from which the desired (2R,3R)-isomer (XII) was isolated by crystallization. The reaction of (XII) with Ms-Cl and TEA, followed by cyclization with NaOMe, yields the oxirane (XIII), which is finally condensed with 7-chloroquinazolin-4(3H)-one (XIV) by means of K2CO3 in hot NMP.

…………………………………………….

Alternatively, intermediate (XIII) can be obtained as follows: Heating of ethyl (S)-lactate (XIV) with morpholine affords amide (XVI), which then reacts with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (A) in the presence of p-TsOH to give protected derivative (XVII). Grignard reaction between (XVII), bromo derivative (XVIII) and Mg turnings in THF yields protected ketone (XIX), which is treated with pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS) (THP group removal) and reprotected by means of Tf2O and DIEA to give triflate derivative (XX). Conversion of (XX) into intermediate (XIII) is achieved by reaction with triazolone (VII) and NaH in THF.
Chem Pharm Bull 1993,41(6),1035-42

……………………………………

Alternatively, derivative (XXIX) can be obtained in an analogous way as its enantiomer (XIX). Diastereoselective epoxidation of (XXIX) with trimethylsulfoxonium iodide and NaH in DMSO provides oxirane (XXX) (3). THP group removal by means of PPTS in EtOH, followed by reaction with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride (XXXI) and NaHCO3 in CH2Cl2, yields a diastereomeric mixture from which dinitrobenzoate derivative (2R,3R)-(XXXII) is obtained by recrystallization (1). Hydrolysis of (2R,3R)-(XXXII) in MeOH by treatment with aqueous NaOH gives compound (2R,3R)-(XXXIII), which is converted into ester (2R,3S)-(XXXIV) by Mitsunobu reaction with benzoic acid, Ph3P and DEAD in THF. Subsequent debenzoylation of (2R,3S)-(XXXIV) with NaOMe in MeOH affords oxiranyl ethanol derivative (2R,3R)-(XXXV), which is first converted into its triflate derivative by means of Tf2O and DIEA in CH2Cl2, and then into triazolone derivative (2S,3R)-(XXXVI) by reaction with intermediate (VII) and NaH in CH2Cl2/DMF. Finally, oxirane derivative (2S,3R)-(XXXVI) reacts with triazole (XXVI) and NaH in DMF to furnish the desired product.

ER-30346 is synthesized by thiazole ring formation of (2R,3R)-3-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)thiobutanamide (I) and 4-bromoacetylbenzonitrile (II) by means of reflux in methanol. The thioamide (I) is obtained with excellent yield from a chiral nitrile (III) by heating with diethyl dithiophosphate in aqueous medium.
…………………………………………….

The nitrile (III), a chiral key intermediate of this synthesis, can be obtained by two different synthetic routes as follows: Route-a: The key step of this route is ring opening reaction of the trisubstituted oxirane (VII) by cyanide anion leading to the nitrile (III). The chiral oxirane (VII) is synthesized from (R)-lactic acid derivatives as already reported. The reaction of (VII) with diethylaluminum cyanide in toluene or lithium cyanide in tetrahydrofuran gives the nitrile (III) with high yield without any epimerization reaction.
…………………………………………..

The nitrile (III), a chiral key intermediate of this synthesis, can be obtained by two different synthetic routes as follows: Route-b: The starting material of this route is methyl (S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate (VIII), which contains one additional carbon between the hydroxyl group and the 2-position carbon of (R)-lactate, the starting material of route-a. The hydroxyl group of (VIII) is protected by triphenylmethyl group. Then, 2,4-difluorophenyl moiety is introduced to give the ketone (X). Direct conversion of the ketone (X) to the oxirane (XIV) by dimethylsulfoxonium methylide, the same condition for compound (IV) in route-a, does not proceed. The oxirane (XIV) having desired stereochemistry is obtained via oxidation reaction. The ketone (X) is converted to the exomethylene (XI) by Wittig reaction. The stereoselective oxidation of (XI) is achieved by means of osmium tetroxide in the presence of 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide to give the diol (XII) in 58% yield after separation of its epimer by column chromatography. After methanesulfonylation of the primary alcohol of (XII), a triazole moiety is introduced and the triphenylmethyl group is deprotected. Then, the primary hydroxyl group of (XVI) is oxidized under Swern oxidation condition to give the aldehyde (XVII), which is converted to the chiral nitrile intermediate (III) by means of heating with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid.

A series of azole antifungal agents featuring a quinazolinone nucleus have been subjected to studies of structure−activity relationships. In general, these compounds displayed higher in vitro activities against filamentous fungi and shorter half-lives than the structures described in our preceding paper. The most potent products in vitro carried a halogen (or an isostere) at the 7-position of the quinazolinone ring. Using a murine model of systemic candidosis, oral activity was found to be dependent on hydrophobicity, which, in turn, modulated the compound’s half-life. The 7-Cl derivative, (1R,2R)-7-chloro-3-[2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-1-methyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-one (20, UR-9825), was selected for further testing due to its high in vitro activity, low toxicity, good pharmacokinetic profile, and ease of obtention. Compound 20 is the (1R,2R) isomer of four possible stereoisomers. The other three isomers were also prepared and tested. The enantiomer (1S,2S) and the (1R,2S) epimer were inactive, whereas the (1S,2R) epimer retained some activity. In vitro 20 was superior to fluconazole, itraconazole, SCH-42427, and TAK-187 and roughly similar to voriconazole and ER-30346. In vivo, 20 was only moderately active in a mouse model of systemic candidosis when administration was limited to the first day. This was attributed to its short half-life in that species (t1/2 = 1 h po). Protection levels comparable to or higher than those of fluconazole, however, were observed in systemic candidosis models in rat and rabbit, where the half-life of the compound was found to be 6 and 9 h, respectively. Finally, 20 showed excellent protection levels in an immunocompromised rat model of disseminated aspergillosis. The compound showed low toxicity signs when administered to rats at 250 mg/kg qd or at 100 mg/kg bid during 28 days.

The condensation of the chiral oxazolidinone (I) with 2,4-difluorophenacyl bromide (II) by means of NaHMDS in THF/Et2 O gives the chiral oxirane (III), which is treated with LiOH and H2O2 to eliminate the chiral auxiliary, yielding the carboxylic acid (IV). The cleavage of the oxirane ring of (IV) with 1,2,4-triazole (V) and NaH in hot DMF affords the chiral hydroxyacid (VI), which is submitted to Curtius rearrangement by means of DPPA in hot pyridine to provide the chiral oxazolidinone (VII). The cleavage of the oxazolidinone ring of (VII) by means of refluxing aq. HCl gives the chiral aminoalcohol (VIII), which is condensed with 2-amino-4-chlorobenzoic acid (IX) by means of DCC and HOBt to yield the corresponding amide (X). Finally, this compound is cyclized to the target quinazolinone by reaction with triethyl orthoformate in hot dioxane/NMP.

Infinity Pharmaceuticals has partnered with AbbVie to develop and commercialise its duvelisib (IPI-145), an oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma, to treat patients with cancer.

Infinity Pharmaceuticals has partnered with AbbVie to develop and commercialise its duvelisib (IPI-145), an oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K gamma, to treat patients with cancer.
Duvelisib has shown clinical activity against different blood cancers, such as indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (iNHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
AbbVie executive vice-president and chief scientific officer Michael Severino said: “We believe that duvelisib is a very promising investigational treatment based on clinical data showing activity in a broad range of blood cancers.”
Duvelisib (IPI-145, INK-1197), an inhibitor of PI3K-delta and –gamma, originated at Takeda subsidiary Intellikine. It is now being developed by Infinity Pharmaceuticals, which began a phase III trial in November, following US and EU grant of orphan drug status for both CLL and small lymphocytic leukemia
INK-1197 is a dual phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase delta (PI3Kdelta) and gamma (PI3Kgamma) inhibitor in phase III clinical development at Infinity Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma. The company is also carring phase II trials for the treatment of patients with mild asthma undergoing allergen challenge, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and for the treatment of refractory indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Phase I clinical trials for the treatment of advanced hematological malignancies (including T-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma) are currently under way.
IPI-145 is an oral inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-delta and PI3K-gamma. The PI3K-delta and PI3K-gamma isoforms are preferentially expressed in leukocytes (white blood cells), where they have distinct and non-overlapping roles in key cellular functions, including cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell migration and immunity. Targeting PI3K-delta and PI3K-gamma may provide multiple opportunities to develop differentiated therapies for the treatment of blood cancers and inflammatory diseases.
Licensee Infinity Pharmaceuticals is developing INK-1197. In 2014, Infinity licensed Abbvie for joint commercialization in the U.S. and exclusive commercialization elsewhere. Originator Millennium Pharmaceuticals had also been developing the compound; however, no recent development has been reported for this research. In 2013, orphan drug designations were assigned by the FDA and the EMA for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, for the treatment of small lymphocytic lymphoma and for the treatment of follicular lymphoma.
currently enrolling patients DYNAMO™, a Phase 2 study designed to evaluate the activity and safety of IPI-145 in approximately 120 people with refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) and DUO™, a Phase 3 clinical study of IPI-145 in approximately 300 people with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). These studies are supported by Phase 1 data reported at the 2013 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting which showed that IPI-145 was well tolerated and clinically active in a broad range of malignancies, including iNHL and CLL. These studies are part of DUETTS™, a worldwide investigation of IPI-145 in blood cancers.

Example 2A
[00568] To Compound 7 (20.1 g) was charged 100 mL of anhydrous THF. The resulting solution was cooled to about -10 °C and 80 mL of n-hexyl lithium (2.3 M in hexanes, 2.26 equiv.) was slowly added (e.g. , over about 20 min). The resulting solution was stirred at about -10 °C for about 20 min.
[00569] To Compound 2 (26.5 g; 1.39 equiv.) was charged 120 mL of anhydrous THF. The resulting mixture was cooled to about -10 °C and 60 mL of isopropyl magnesium chloride (2.0 M in THF, 1.47 equiv.) was slowly added (e.g. , over about 15-20 min). The resulting mixture was then stirred at about -10 °C for about 20 min. The mixture prepared from Compound 2 was added to the solution prepared from Compound 7 while maintaining the internal temperature between about -10 and about 0 °C. After the addition was complete (about 5 min), the cold bath was removed, and the resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for about 1 h, then cooled. [00570] A solution of 100 mL of anisole and 33 mL of isobutyric acid (4.37 equiv.) was prepared. The anisole solution was cooled to an internal temperature of about -3 °C. The above reaction mixture was added to the anisole solution such that the internal temperature of the anisole solution was maintained at below about 5 °C. The ice bath was then removed (after about 15 min, the internal temperature was about 7 °C). To the mixture, 100 mL of 10 wt aqueous NaCl solution was rapidly added (the internal temperature increased from about 7 °C to about 15 °C). After stirring for about 30 min, the two phases were separated. The organic phase was washed with another 100 mL of 10 wt aqueous NaCl. The organic phase was transferred to a flask using 25 mL of anisole to facilitate the transfer. The anisole solution was then concentrated to 109 g. Then, 100 mL of anisole was added.
[00571] To the approximately 200 mL of anisole solution was added 50 mL of TFA (8 equiv.) while maintaining the internal temperature below about 45-50 °C. The resulting solution warmed to about 45-50 °C and stirred for about 15 hrs, then cooled to 20-25 °C. To this solution was added 300 mL of MTBE dropwise and then the resulting mixture was held at 20-25 °C for 1 h. The mixture was filtered, and the wet cake washed with approximately 50 mL of MTBE. The wet cake was conditioned on the filter for about 1 h under nitrogen. The wet cake was periodically mixed and re-smoothed during conditioning. The wet cake was then washed with 200 mL of MTBE. The wet cake was further conditioned for about 2 h (the wet cake was mixed and resmoothed after about 1.5 h). The wet cake was dried in a vacuum oven at about 40 °C for about 18 h to afford Compound 9»TFA salt in about 97.3% purity (AUC), which had about 99.1 % S- enantiomer (e.g. , chiral purity of about 99.1 %).
[00572] Compound 9»TFA salt (3 g) was suspended in 30 mL of EtOAc at about 20 °C. To the EtOAc suspension was added 4.5 mL (2.2 eq.) of a 14% aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution and the internal temperature decreased to about 17 °C. Water (5 mL) was added to the biphasic mixture. The biphasic mixture was stirred for 30 min. The mixing was stopped and the phases were allowed to separate. The aqueous phase was removed. To the organic phase (combined with 5 mL of EtOAc) was added 10 mL of 10% aqueous NaCl. The biphasic mixture was stirred for about 30 min. The aqueous phase was removed. The organic layer was concentrated to 9 g. To this EtOAc mixture was added 20 mL of i-PrOAc. The resulting mixture was concentrated to 14.8 g. With stirring, 10 mL of n-heptane was added dropwise. The suspension was stirred for about 30 min, then an additional 10 mL of n-heptane was added. The resulting suspension was stirred for 1 h. The suspension was filtered and the wet cake was washed with additional heptane. The wet cake was conditioned for 20 min under nitrogen, then dried in a vacuum oven at about 40 °C to afford Compound 9 free base in about 99.3% purity (AUC), which had about 99.2% S-enantiomer (e.g., chiral purity of about 99.2%).
Example 2B [00573] A mixture of Compound 7 (100 g, 0.407 mol, 1 wt) and THF (500 mL, 5 vol) was prepared and cooled to about 3 °C. n-Hexyllithium (2.3 M in hexanes, 400 mL, 0.920 mol, 2.26 equiv) was charged over about 110 minutes while maintaining the temperature below about 6 °C. The resulting solution was stirred at 0 ± 5 °C for about 30 minutes. Concurrently, a mixture of Compound 2 (126 g, 0.541 mol, 1.33 equiv) and THF (575 mL, 5.8 vol) was prepared. The resulting slurry was charged with isopropylmagnesium chloride (2.0 M in THF, 290 mL, 0.574 mol, 1.41 equiv) over about 85 minutes while maintaining the temperature below about 5 °C.

EXAMPLE 2
Compounds of this invention prepared according to the method of Example 1 were tested in two functional models specific for adenosine A, receptor agonist function. The first was the A , receptor mediated inhibition of isoproterenol stimulated cAMP accumulation in DDT cells. The EC50 of each derivative is shown in Table I. Also shown in Table I is the ability of each derivative to stimulate cAMP production in PC 12 cells, a function of agonist stimulation of adenosine A2 receptors. The ratio of the relative potency of each compound in stimulating either an A, receptor or an A2 receptor effect is termed the selectivity of each compound for the A, receptor. As can be seen in Table I, each derivative is relatively selective as an A, receptor agonist. The use of measuring cAMP metabolism as an assay for adenosine A , receptor function has been previously described (Scammells, P., Baker, S., Belardinelli, L., and Olsson, R. , 1994, Substituted 1 ,3-dipropylxanthines as irreversible antagonists of A, adenosine receptors. J. Med. Chem 37: 2794-2712, 1994).

Compounds were also tested in a whole organ model of A, receptor activation with respect to atrial and AV nodal function. In this model, guinea pig hearts are isolated and perfused with saline containing compound while atrial rate and AV nodal conduction time are assessed by electrographic measurement of atrial cycle length and AV intervals, as detailed in Belardinelli, L, Lu, J. Dennis, D. Martens, J, and Shryock J. (1994); The cardiac effects of a novel A,-adenosine receptor agonist in guinea pig isolated heart. J. Pharm. Exp. Therap. 271:1371-1382 (1994). As shown in Figure 1, each derivative was effective in slowing the atrial rate and prolonging the AV nodal conduction time of spontaneously beating hearts in a concentration-dependent manner, demonstrating efficacy as adenosine A, receptor agonists in the intact heart.

Tioconazole is an antifungal medication of the imidazole class used to treat infections caused by a fungus or yeast. It is marketed under the brand names Trosyd and Gyno-Trosyd (Pfizer). Tioconazole ointments serve to treat women’s vaginal yeast infections.[1]They are available in one day doses, as opposed to the 7-day treatments more common in use in the past.
Tioconazole topical (skin) preparations are also available for ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot, and tinea versicolor or “sun fungus”.

Side effects
Side effects (for the women’s formulas) may include temporary burning/irritation of the vaginal area, moderate drowsiness, headachesimilar to a sinus headache, hives, and upper respiratory infection. These side effects may be only temporary, and do not normally interfere with the patient’s comfort enough to outweigh the end result.

Imidazole derivatives, in particular, l-[2-(2-chloro-3-thienyl)methoxy]-2-(2,4- dichlorophenyl)ethyl]-lH-imidazole, commonly referred to as tioconazole, are known for their antifungal therapeutic properties. US 4,062,966 discloses a process for the preparation of l-aryl-2-(l -imidazolyl) alkyl ethers and thioethers which employs arylation of an appropriate 1 -aryl-2-(l -imidazolyl)alkanol or alkane thiol having the formula
wherein Rl to R4 are each H or C,^ alkyl, Ar is phenyl, or substituted phenyl wherein said substitutents are halogen, C,^ alkyl, C,_6 alkoxy, thienyl, or halothienyl, and, Z is oxygen or sulfur. In accordance with US’966, the reaction comprises converting the alcohol or thiol in a suitable solvent to its alkali metal derivative by treatment with a strong base, such as an alkali metal amide or hydride, and reacting with the appropriate aralkyl halide ofthe formula
X-(CH2)η-Y
where n is 1 or 2, Y is an aromatic heterocyclic group or substituted heterocyclic group, wherein substitutents are halogen, C,.6 alkyl, or C,.6 alkoxy atoms, thienyl or halothienyl group, and X is a halogen, preferably chlorine. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is the preferred solvent taught in US ‘966. Reaction temperatures may range from about 0 °C to reflux temperature ofthe solvent and reaction times range from about 1 hour to about 24 hours. The product is isolated with water, extracted with ether, and may be purified as the free base or converted to a salt, e.g. the hydrochloride, and purified by recrystallization. A disadvantage ofthe process disclosed in US ‘966 is that THF is a peroxide generator which presents the potential for an explosion. From a commercial viewpoint, peroxide generators are not preferred due to the dangers associated therewith.
GB 1 522 848 discloses a process for the preparation of imidazoles useful as antifungal agents involving a labor intensive, multi-sequence reaction of an imidazole ether with a reactive ester. Like US ‘966, THF is employed presenting similar concerns in the synthesis ofthe desired imidazole product.
According to the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Encyclopedia, tioconazole is prepared by dissolving l-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(l- imidazolyl)ethanol in THF and sodium hydride and heating to about 70 βC. The resulting mixture is then contacted with 2-chloro-3- chloromethylthiophene and heated to reflux (about 67 CC). The resulting product is filtered, saturated with hydrogen chloride, triturated and recrystallized to obtain the purified tioconazole hydrochloride product having a melting point of about 170 βC. This salt must then be freebased to form the product used in pharmaceutical formulations. This route, like those discussed above, also presents the dangers of a potential explosion. There is thus a continuing need for a commercially viable, synthetic route for the production of imidazoles, in particular tioconazole.

The azole antifungal agent E-1224 is a prodrug of ravuconazole. In 2009, originator Eisai licensed E-1224 to Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative for the treatment of American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease) in Latin America and the Caribbean. DNDi was conducting phase II clinical trials with the prodrug for this indication, however, development of the compound has been discontinued due to lack of sustained efficacy. Ravuconazole was originally licensed by Eisai to Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS). BMS developed the drug’s prodrug, referred to by BMS as BMS-379224. For strategic reasons, BMS did not pursue development of the compound. In 2010, E-1224 was licensed exclusively to Brain Factory for development, commercialization and sublicense in Japan for the treatment of fungal infections.

Triazole antifungal compounds are well known in the prior art. Of the several classes known, one particularly potent class contains a tertiary hydroxyl group. For example, U. S. Patent 5,648,372 discloses that (2R,3R)-3-[4-(4- cyanophenyl)thiazol-2-yl]-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)- 1 -( 1 H- 1 ,2,4-triazol- 1 -yl)- butan-2-ol has anti-fungal activity.
The utility of this class of compounds is limited by their low water solubility. For example, the solubility of the above triazole compound in water at pH 6.8 is 0.0006 mg/mL. This greatly impedes developing suitable parenteral dosage forms.
One method of addressing this problem was disclosed in European Patent Application 829478, where the water solubility of an azole antifungal agent was increased by attaching a linked amino-acid to the azole portion of the molecule
Alternatively, WO 97/28169 discloses that a phosphate moiety can be attached directly to the tertiary hydroxyl portion of the anti-fungal compound, e.g. the compound having the formula
U.S. Patent 5,707,977 and WO 95/19983 disclose water soluble prodrugs having the general formula
wherein X is OP(O)(OH)2 or an easily hydrolyzable ester OC(O)RNR l’rR>2.
WO 95/17407 discloses water-soluble azole prodrugs of the general formula
wherein X is P(O)(OH)2, C(O)-(CHR’)n-OP(O)(OH)2 or C(O)-(CHR’)π
-(OCHR,CHR1)mOR2.
WO 96/38443 discloses water-soluble azole prodrugs of the general formula
U.S. Patent 5,883,097 discloses water-soluble amino acid azole prodrugs such as the glycine ester
The introduction of the phosphonooxymethyl moiety into hydroxyl containing drugs has been disclosed as a method to prepare water-soluble prodrugs of hydroxyl containing drugs.
European Patent Application 604910 discloses phosphonooxymethyl taxane derivatives of the general formula
wherein at least one of R1 ‘, R2″, R3′, R6′ or R7′ is OCH2OP(O)(OH)2.
European Patent Application 639577 discloses phosphonooxymethyl taxane derivatives of the formula T-[OCH2(OCH2)mOP(O)(OH)2]n wherein T is a taxane moiety bearing on the C13 carbon atom a substituted 3-amino-2- hydroxypropanoyloxy group; n is 1, 2 or 3; m is 0 or an integer from 1 to 6 inclusive, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

A novel route for chiral synthesis of the triazole antifungal ER-30346
Chem Pharm Bull 1998, 46(7): 1125
https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/cpb1958/46/7/46_7_1125/_pdf
……………………………………………………….


ER-30346 is synthesized by thiazole ring formation of (2R, 3R) -3- (2,4-difluorophenyl) -3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4- (1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl ) thiobutanamide (I) and 4-bromoacetylbenzonitrile (II) by means of reflux in methanol. The thioamide (I) is obtained with excellent yield from a chiral nitrile (III) by heating with diethyl dithiophosphate in aqueous medium.



The nitrile (III), a chiral key intermediate of this synthesis, can be obtained by two different synthetic routes as follows: Route-b: The starting material of this route is methyl (S) -3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate (VIII ), which contains one additional carbon between the hydroxyl group and the 2-position carbon of (R) -lactate, the starting material of route-a. The hydroxyl group of (VIII) is protected by triphenylmethyl group. Then, 2,4 -difluorophenyl moiety is introduced to give the ketone (X). Direct conversion of the ketone (X) to the oxirane (XIV) by dimethylsulfoxonium methylide, the same condition for compound (IV) in route-a, does not proceed. The oxirane (XIV) having desired stereochemistry is obtained via oxidation reaction. The ketone (X) is converted to the exomethylene (XI) by Wittig reaction. The stereoselective oxidation of (XI) is achieved by means of osmium tetroxide in the presence of 4-methylmorpholine N-oxide to give the diol (XII) in 58% yield after separation of its epimer by column chromatography. After methanesulfonylation of the primary alcohol of (XII), a triazole moiety is introduced and the triphenylmethyl group is deprotected. Then, the primary hydroxyl group of (XVI) is oxidized under Swern oxidation condition to give the aldehyde (XVII), which is converted to the chiral nitrile intermediate (III) by means of heating with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid.
The synthesis of (2S, 3S) -3- (2,4-difluorophenyl) -3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4- (1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) butyronitrile (XV), a key intermediate the synthesis of ER-30346 has been described: The tritylation of 3-hydroxy-2 (S) -methylpropionic acid methyl ester (I) with trityl chloride in hot pyridine gives the trityl ether (II), which is hydrolyzed with LiOH in H2O / THF / methanol yielding the free acid (III). The esterification of (III) with 2-mercaptopyridine (IV) by means of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in dichloromethane gives the thioester (V), which is treated with 2,4-difluorophenylmagnesium bromide (VI) in THF yielding the propiophenone (VII), which by treatment with methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide / NaH in THF is converted into the methylene derivative (VIII). The oxidation of (VIII) with OsO4 and N-methylmorpholine oxide in acetone affords, after column chromatography, the chiral diol (IX), which is monomesylated with mesyl chloride / triethylamine in dichlormethane giving the monoester (X). The reaction of (X) with 1,2,4-triazol (XI) and NaH in DMF yields (2R, 3S) -2- (2,4-difluorophenyl) -3-methyl-1- (1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) -4- (triphenylmethoxy) -2-butanol (XII), which is detritylated with p-toluenesulfonic acid in methanol affording the diol (XIII). The oxidation of (XIII) with oxalyl chloride / DMSO in dichloromethane gives the aldehyde (XIV), which is finally treated with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid in water yielding the desired bytyronitrile intermediate (XV) already referenced.

Scheme 1 :
The manufacturing process for Isavuconazole is similar: Since Isavuconazole differentiates from Ravuconazole by only another fluorine substitution on the aromatic ring (2,5- instead of 2,4-difluorophenyl), the identical synthesis has been used (US 6300353 from October 9, 2001 and Bioorg. & Med. Chem. Lett. 13, 191 (2003)). Consequently, also this manufacturing process, based on (R)-lactic acid, faces the same problems: to many steps, extremely low overall yield and in addition to US patent 6300353 claims even already known step as novel (claim 36).
Recent attempts to improve this concept as reported in WO 2007/062542 (Dec.1 , 2005), using less expensive, natural configured (S)-lactic acid, also failed: As already reported in US 6133485 and in US 2003/0236419, the second chiral center was formed from an optically active allyl alcohol prepared in a few steps from (S)-lactic acid. This allyl alcohol was subjected to Sharpless diastereoselective epoxidation providing first an opposite configured, epimeric epoxy alcohol which had to be then epimerized in an additional inversion step yielding finally the desired epoxy alcohol as the known precursor for Isavuconazole (US 6300353). It is obvious that this process using less expensive (S)- lactic acid makes the entire process with an inversion step even more complex than the original approach.
Elegant and more efficient process has been claimed in US 2004/0176432 from June 26, 2001 ) in which both chiral centers have been formed simultaneously, diastereo- and enantio-selectively pure in one single reaction step using chiral (R)-2-butynol as a chiral precursor in the presence of Pd(ll)-catalyst and diethyl zinc (Scheme 2).
Scheme 2:
Since water soluble, (R)-2-butynol is expensive, recently identical process has been published, in which instead of (R)-2-butynol less water soluble and therefore, less expensive (R)-4-phenyl-3-butyn-2-ol was used (Synthetic Commun. 39, 161 1 (2009)). Nevertheless, as incorrectly stated there, this process does not provide better diastereoselectivity than the original process using (R)-2-butynol: On the contrary disadvantage of this process is a very bad atom economy because huge phenyl group of (R)-4-phenyl-3-butyn-2-ol has to be “disposed” in oxidation step by the conversion of triple bond into carboxylic acid function.

The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a
diastereomerically and enantiomerically enriched ester intermediate for isavuconazole or ravuconazole.
Isavuconazole and ravuconazole are triazole antifungal compounds. Processes for the manufacture of isavuconazole and ravuconazole were disclosed in patents WO99/45008, WO2007/062542 and WO03/002498 to Basilea. In WO2011/042827 a process for the manufacture of enantiomerically pure antifungal azoles such as ravuconazole and isavuconazole is disclosed, wherein a classical resolution of a racemic mixture is performed by the addition of an enantiopure chiral acid, then collection of the desired diastereomer followed by conversion of the salt into the enantiomerically pure form of the desired compound by treatment with a base or an ion-exchange resin. The disadvantages of using such classical resolution are that the chiral auxiliary needs to be applied in near stoichiometric amounts, and that additional process steps are required for recovery of these relatively high amounts of chiral reagent as well as for converting the salt into the free enantiopure product.

MHRA’s Guidance for Software as a Medical Device (including Apps)
DRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL

The British MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency) has published a guidance for developers of “software as a medical device” = “stand-alone software”. The text also expressly addresses “apps”. Get the details here.
Whereas in the pharmaceutical business software plays a role in the manufacture of products, it can also act as two parts in the medical device business – one in the manufacture of a device and one as a medical device as such – i.e. software as a medical device. The British Health Authority – MHRA – has published a current guidance on software as a medical device, also called stand-alone software, intended for developers of such software. This guidance also addresses the increasingly encountered topic “apps”. The text doesn’t cover software that is part of a medical device, e.g. software that controls a CT scanner.
The guidance itself is very short and divided into 6 main chapters:

Questions and Answers on the Topic “Pharmaceutical Water”
DRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL

In the following News, you will find questions on pharmaceutical water preparation and distribution frequently asked during our courses, as well as their respective answers. Read more here.
During our courses and conferences participants quite frequently raise questions on pharmaceutical water preparation and distribution. Therefore following you will find some of these questions and their respective answers.
Question 1: Which concentrations of ozone are required in water systems?
The technical literature delivers different information about the ozone concentrations in water systems: e.g. ISPE Baseline Water and Steam: 0.02 ppm – 0.2 ppm; Collentro, Pharmaceutical Water: 0.2 ppm – 0.5 ppm and W.Setz, Ciba-Geigy 1990: max 0.04 ppm, for sanitisation 0.05 ppm.
The indications provided by the ISPE Baseline refer to the concentration required to prevent microbial growth. One can thus assume that a concentration of 20 ppb ozone can prevent any growth.
If systemic protection is desired i.e. the…

EU Commission publishes long-awaited EU GMP Guide Chapters 3 and 5
DRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL
The EU Commission has published the long-awaited, revised chapters 3 and 5 of the EU GMP Guide. The change focuses on the prevention of cross-contamination as well as on the statement concerning the need for dedicated facilities. Continue reading.
The EU Commission had published its first draft of the chapter 3 “Premises and Equipment” and 5 “Production” for comments in early 2013 (see news from 04/12/2013). The content concerns the measures for avoiding cross-contamination and the regulation relative to which products have to be produced in dedicated facilities.
The mention of specific products for which a dedication is required – as provided in the currently valid version of chapter 3 – is missing in the now published version. The quality risk management approach is maintained. Also remaining are the exceptions where dedication is required – which are:
- The risk cannot be adequately controlled by operational and/ or technical measures…
