Foretinib.svg

Foretinib (Exelixis, GlaxoSmithKline) (XL-880)

CAS No.:849217-64-7, 937176-80-2
Formula:C34H34F2N4O6
M.Wt:632.24

GSK1363089, XL880

1-N’-[3-fluoro-4-[6-methoxy-7-(3-morpholin-4-ylpropoxy)quinolin-4-yl]oxyphenyl]-1-N-(4-fluorophenyl)cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxamide

Foretinib is an experimental drug candidate for the treatment of cancer.[1] It was discovered by Exelixis and is under development by GlaxoSmithKline.[2] It is currently in Phase II clinical trials.[3] As of December 2012 no phase III trials are registered.[3]

Foretinib is an inhibitor of the kinase enzymes c-Met and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2).[4]

Foretinib is an orally bioavailable small molecule with potential antineoplastic activity. MET/VEGFR2 inhibitor GSK1363089 binds to and selectively inhibits hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor c-MET and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), which may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. The proto-oncogene c-MET has been found to be over-expressed in a variety of cancers. VEGFR2 is found on endothelial and hematopoietic cells and mediates the development of the vasculature and hematopoietic cells through VEGF signaling.

Foretinib (GSK1363089) is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of HGFR and VEGFR, mostly for Met and KDR with IC50 of 0.4 nM and 0.9 nM. Less potent against Ron, Flt-1/3/4, Kit, PDGFRα/β and Tie-2, and little activity to FGFR1 and EGFR. Phase 2.

[00173] A reactor was charged sequentially with 6,7-dimethoxy-quinoline-4-ol (47.0 kg) and acetonitrile (318.8 kg). The resulting mixture was heated to approximately 60 °C and phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3, 130.6 kg) was added. After the addition of POCI3, the temperature of the reaction mixture was raised to approximately 77 °C. The reaction was deemed complete (approximately 13 hours) when less than 3% of the starting material remained (in-process high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC] analysis). The reaction mixture was cooled to approximately 2-7 °C and then quenched into a chilled solution of dichloromethane (DCM, 482.8 kg), 26 percent NH4OH (251.3 kg), and water (900 L). The resulting mixture was warmed to approximately 20-25 °C, and phases were separated. The organic phase was filtered through a bed of AW hyflo super-cel NF (Celite; 5.4 kg) and the filter bed was washed with DCM (1 18.9 kg). The combined organic phase was washed with brine (282.9 kg) and mixed with water (120 L). The phases were separated and the organic phase was concentrated by vacuum distillation with the removal of solvent (approximately 95 L residual volume). DCM (686.5 kg) was charged to the reactor containing organic phase and concentrated by vacuum distillation with the removal of solvent (approximately 90 L residual volume). Methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE, 226.0 kg) was then charged and the temperature of the mixture was adjusted to -20 to -25 °C and held for 2.5 hours resulting in solid precipitate which was then filtered and washed with n-heptane (92.0 kg), and dried on a filter at approximately 25 °C under nitrogen to afford the title compound.

This mixture was then heated to 100- 105 °C for approximately 13 hours. After the reaction was deemed complete as determined using in-process HPLC analysis (less than 2 percent starting material remaining), the reactor contents were cooled at 15-20 °C and water (pre-cooled, 2-7 °C, 587 L) charged at a rate to maintain 15-30 °C temperature . The resulting solid precipitate was filtered, washed with a mixture of water (47 L) and DMA (89.1 kg) and finally with water (214 L). The filter cake was then dried at approximately 25 °C on filter to yield crude 4-(6, 7-dimethoxy-quinoline-4- yloxy)-phenylamine (59.4 kg wet, 41.6 kg dry calculated based on LOD). Crude 4-(6, 7- dimethoxy-quinoline-4-yloxy)-phenylamine was refluxed (approximately 75 °C) in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (THF, 21 1.4 kg) and DMA (108.8 kg) for approximately lhour and then cooled to 0-5 °C and aged for approximately 1 hour after which time the solid was filtered, washed with THF (147.6 kg) and dried on a filter under vacuum at approximately 25 °C to yield 4-(6,7-dimethoxy-quinoline-4-yloxy)-phenylamine (34.0 kg).

Bafetinib , previously as INNO-406 , NS-187 and CNS-9 refers is an experimental drug from the substance group ofbenzamides , who as Tyrosinkinasehemmstoff to be used. [2] It was originally developed by the Japanese company Nippon Shinyaku and 2006 Innovive Pharmaceuticals licensed. [3] Innovive was established in June 2008 by the CytRx Corp. adopted. [4]

Bafetinib, also known as INNO-406,  is an orally bioavailable 2-phenylaminopyrimidine derivative with potential antineoplastic activity. Bafetinib specifically binds to and inhibits the Bcr/Abl fusion protein tyrosine kinase, an abnormal enzyme produced by Philadelphia chromosomal translocation associated with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This agent also inhibits the Src-family member Lyn tyrosine kinase, upregulated in imatinib-resistant CML cells and in a variety of solid cancer cell types. The inhibitory effect of bafetinib on these specific tyrosine kinases may decrease cellular proliferation and induce apoptosis in tumor cells that overexpress these kinases. CML patients may be refractory to imatinib, which sometimes results from point mutations occurring in the kinase domain of the Bcr/Abl fusion product. Due to its dual inhibitory activity, the use of bafetinib has been shown to overcome this particular drug resistance.

INNO-406 (formerly NS-187) is a potent, orally available, rationally designed, dual Bcr-Abl and Lyn kinase inhibitor that is currently in early clinical studies at CytRx Oncology for the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, metastatic prostate cancer and glioblastoma multiforme. CytRx is also conducting phase I clinical studies for the treatment of recurrent high-grade glioma or metastatic disease to the brain that has progressed after treatment with whole brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery.

The company is developing INNO-406 in preclinical studies for the prevention of bone loss in multiple myeloma patients. Nippon Shinyaku is also evaluating the compound for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. The compound had been under evaluation for the treatment of certain forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that are refractory or intolerant of other approved treatments; however, no recent development has been reported for this indication.

Based on its mechanisms of action, INNO-406 is expected to be effective in treating Gleevec-resistant CML and may delay or even prevent the onset of resistance in treatment naive CML patients. The ability of INNO-406 to specifically target the Bcr-Abl and Lyn kinases may result in a better side effect profile than compounds that target multiple kinases such as a pan-Src inhibitor.

In 2005, the compound was licensed to Innovive Pharmaceuticals (acquired by CytRx Oncology in 2008) by Nippon Shinyaku on a worldwide basis, with the exception of Japan, for the treatment of CML. Orphan drug designation was assigned to the compound for the treatment of CML in the U.S in 2007 and in the E.U. in 2010.

Pharmacology

Bafetinib is an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases . It affects the formation of the fusion protein Bcr-Abl , as well as that of theenzyme Lyn kinase and should in mice ten times stronger effect than the imported Tyrosinkinasehemmstoff imatinib .[5]

Brivanib alaninate (INN/USAN) also known as BMS-582664 is an investigational, anti-tumorigenic drug for oral administration. The drug is being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC (also called malignant hepatoma), the most common type of liver cancer. Hepatocellular carcinoma [1] is a primary cancer of the liver and is more common in men than in women. The disease occurs mostly in people who have scarring of the liver (cirrhosis) or after infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Symptoms include pain and swelling in the abdomen, weight loss, weakness, loss of appetite and nausea. Hepatocellular carcinoma is a severe and life-threatening disease that is associated with poor overall survival. [2] While the choice of treatment depends mainly on how advanced the disease is, the only proven therapies to cure the cancer is surgery to remove the tumor and liver transplantation, but these therapies can only be carried out in very few patients. Other treatments includechemotherapy and immunotherapy. Radiofrequency ablation and ethanol injection are also used to remove small tumors.[3]

As a result of poor liver function, metastases, or both, only 10% to 20% of patients undergo surgery. In patients having surgery, the 5-year survival rate is only 25% to 50%. Several chemotherapeutic agents have been evaluated for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Doxorubicin (trade name Adriamycin; also known as hydroxydaunorubicin), the most widely used agent in HCC, has shown a 4% to 10.5% response rate in patients with HCC.

Studies have shown that the overall response (OR) rate, but not overall survival (OS), doubles when doxorubicin was given in combination with cisplatin, IFN, and 5-fluorouracil. The multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib (trade name Nexavar), which inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor, raf, c-kit, and flt-3, has been shown to inhibit HCC-induced proliferation and angiogenesis.

Sorafenib has also been shown to provide a significant improvement in OS in patients with HCC. Based on these results, researchers concluded that this class of agents may be effective in the treatment of HCC. Brivanib alaninate also inhibits VEGFR and fibroblast growth factorreceptors (FGFR), which is known to play a major role in the etiopathogenesis of HCC. To date, brivanib alaninate has been investigated in 29 studies, including more than 4,000 patients around the world.

Abstract Image

This manuscript describes the control strategy for the commercial process to manufacture brivanib alaninate. The active pharmaceutical ingredient is a prodrug which is susceptible to hydrolysis. In addition to controlling hydrolysis, a robust strategy was required in order to control input and process-related impurities. Three significant aspects of control include understanding of the reaction parameters in order to minimize the regioisomer during the alkylation with (R)-propylene oxide, development of a design space through statistical models to control impurity formation, and the use of in situ FT-IR to monitor the hydrogenolysis of the Cbz protecting group.

Ongoing clinical development program

To further investigate the benefits of brivanib in patients with advanced HCC, a broad-spectrum, global, phase III clinical development plan called the Brivanib studies in HCC patients at RISK (BRISK), has been initiated. Clinical benefits seen with brivanib in the first-line setting, and following the failure of sorafenib therapy, highlight the potential to improve the clinical course of patients with advanced HCC. Brivanib may provide a novel therapeutic option to a growing number of patients for whom no other treatment choice exists.

Regulatory status

On 27 October 2011, orphan designation (EU/3/11/918) was granted by the European Commission to Bristol-Myers Squibb for brivanib alaninate for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.[11] Designated orphan medicinal products are products that are still under investigation and are considered for orphan designation on the basis of potential activity. An orphan designation is not a marketing authorization. As a consequence, demonstration of quality, safety and efficacy is necessary before a product can be granted a marketing authorization. At the time of the orphan designation, several medicines were authorized in the EU for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Submission and application

At the time of submission of the application for orphan designation, clinical trials with brivanib alaninate in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were ongoing. As part of the submission process, Bristol-Myers Squibb has provided sufficient information to show that brivanib alaninate might be of significant benefit for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma because it could provide an alternative for patients who cannot take or for whom existing treatments do not work. Early studies show that it might improve the treatment of patients with this condition, particularly if used when existing treatment had failed. However, this assumption needs to be confirmed at the time of EU marketing authorization, in order to maintain the orphan status.

No. 6,869,952 B2, which is assigned to the present assignee and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.Compound I, a prodrug, is suitable for inhibiting tyrosine kinase activity of growth factor receptors such as VEGFR-2 and FGFR-1 and is useful in the treatment of cancer. Compound I is also useful in the treatment of diseases, other than cancer, which are associated with signal transduction pathways operating through growth factors and anti-angiogenesis receptors such as VEGFR-2.

Typically, in the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition, a form of the active ingredient having desired properties such as dissolution rate, solubility, bioavailability, and/or storage stability is sought. For example, a form of the active ingredient, which has the desired solubility and bioavailability, has sufficient stability that it does not convert during manufacture or storage of the pharmaceutical composition to a different form having different solubility and/or bioavailibility. A form of Compound I is desired having properties and stability that allow the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the treatment of diseases such as cancer.

Abstract Image

A series of substituted 4-(4-fluoro-1H-indol-5-yloxy)pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine-based inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 kinase is reported. Structure−activity relationship studies revealed that a methyl group at the 5-position and a substituted alkoxy group at the 6-position of the pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine core gave potent compounds. Biochemical potency, kinase selectivity, and pharmacokinetics of the series were optimized and in vitro safety liabilities were minimized to afford BMS-540215 (12), which demonstrated robust preclinical in vivo activity in human tumor xenograft models. The l-alanine prodrug of12, BMS-582664 (21), is currently under evaluation in clinical trials for the treatment of solid tumors.

Automation of Process Control within the Pharmaceutical Industry

While most pharmaceutical businesses have adopted process automation in one format or another, the technology has evolved considerably over the past few years, leading to improvements in design, efficiency and reliability.

One of the major drivers for businesses to increase levels of automation is legislation, but the need to compete in the market place and reduce production costs has also played a significant part.

Within the pharmaceutical industry, the key to finding the best automation solution is a thorough analysis of each individual part of the plant or installation.

By carrying out an in-depth analysis of the application, it can be determined if a centralized control system using non-intelligent nodes, will deliver the required performance, or if the sheer size of the system means that the control has to be decentralised using a fieldbus system working with field controls, intelligent valves and actuators.

Elemental Impurity Analysis in Pharmaceuticals

A method to identify the presence of heavy metals in pharmaceuticals was introduced in the United States Pharmacopeia more than 100 years ago.

Pharmaceutical companies are still using essentially the same method, known as the USP Heavy Metals Limit Test.

This paper will provide an overview of current method limitations, considerations for the new methodology and risk-based assessments being carried out by manufacturers.

Medical uses

In Ayurvedic medicine Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata) has been used for hundreds of years for treating arthritis.

Extracts of Boswellia serrata have been clinically studied for osteoarthritis and joint function, particularly for osteoarthritis of the knee, with the research showing a slight improvement of both pain and function compared to a placebo. Positive effects of Boswellia in some chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, bronchial asthma, osteoarthritis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease have been reported. A Boswellia extract marketed under the name Wokvel has undergone human efficacy, comparative, pharmacokinetic studies. Some see Boswellia serrata as a promising alternative to NSAIDs, warranting further investigation in pharmacological studies and clinical trials.

Topical application

Boswellia serrata has been recently developed for topical use in a patent-pending formula in Sano Relief Gel. Boswellia serrata is used in the manufacture of the supposed anti-wrinkle agent “Boswelox”,which has been criticised as being ineffective.

Potential for anti-cancer activity

Boswellic acid, an extract from Boswellia serrata, has been studied for anti-neoplastic activity, especially in experimental primary and secondary brain tumors, indicating potential efficacy from in vitro and limited clinical research. Boswellic acid is also undergoing an early-stage clinical trial at the Cleveland Clinic.

Active constituents

Boswellic acid and other pentacyclic triterpene acids are present. Beta-boswellic acid is the major constituent.

Mechanism of action

Animal studies performed in India show ingestion of a defatted alcoholic extract of Boswellia decreased polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration and migration, decreased primary antibody synthesis and almost totally inhibited the classical complement pathway.

Properties

Shallaki has potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce the pain and inflammation of joints.

Frankincense ‘can ease arthritis’ researches have suggested

Extracts from Boswellia serrata, a similar species to the variety famous for its role in the Christian nativity, were tested on dozens of patients.

Those who received it reported better movement and less pain and stiffness.

The herb has been used for thousands of years in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, reports the journal Arthritis Research and Therapy.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of the condition, and normally affects the weight bearing joints such as hands, wrists, feet and spine.

Current treatments carry a great many adverse effects, and scientists have been hunting for an alternative.

The investigation into the properties of Boswellia serrata was led by Dr Siba Raychaudhuri at the University of California, Davis.

Eventually they tested an extract of the plant enriched with the chemical – AKBA – thought to be its active ingredient.

Some of the 70 patients with severe arthritis in their knees recruited into the trial were given a low-dose capsule, some a higher dose capsule, and the remainder were given a dummy pill with no active ingredients.

In as little as seven days, patients taking the frankincense drug reported improvements in their pain and stiffness levels compared with the placebo group, and these continued until the 90-day mark, when the study ended.

Alternative therapies

Tests of the fluid within affected joints also revealed falls in levels of enzymes linked to the condition.

Dr Raychaudhuri said: “We have shown that B. serrata enriched with AKBA can be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee.”

However, UK experts urged caution. Professor Philip Conaghan, from Leeds University, and a spokesman for the Arthritis Research Campaign, said: “Certainly osteoarthritis is in need of new safe analgesics, although many effective therapies that reduce pain such as muscle strengthening exercises, shock-absorbing footwear and weight loss have very few bad side-effects.

“This report on treating knee pain with a chemical derivative of B. serrata is interesting but the patient numbers are small, there were some problems with the reported trial design and we need more information on its medium to long-term safety.”

Boswellia serrata: an overall assessment of in vitro, preclinical, pharmacokinetic and clinical data.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) intake is associated with high prevalence of gastrointestinal or cardiovascular adverse effects. All efforts to develop NSAIDs that spare the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovasculature are still far from achieving a breakthrough. In the last two decades, preparations of the gum resin of Boswellia serrata (a traditional ayurvedic medicine) and of other Boswellia species have experienced increasing popularity in Western countries. Animal studies and pilot clinical trials support the potential of B. serrata gum resin extract (BSE) for the treatment of a variety of inflammatory diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and asthma. Moreover, in 2002 the European Medicines Agency classified BSE as an ‘orphan drug’ for the treatment of peritumoral brain oedema. Compared to NSAIDs, it is expected that the administration of BSE is associated with better tolerability, which needs to be confirmed in further clinical trials. Until recently, the pharmacological effects of BSE were mainly attributed to suppression of leukotriene formation via inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) by two boswellic acids, 11-keto-β-boswellic acid (KBA) and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA). These two boswellic acids have also been chosen in the monograph of Indian frankincense in European Pharmacopoiea 6.0 as markers to ensure the quality of the air-dried gum resin exudate of B. serrata. Furthermore, several dietary supplements advertise the enriched content of KBA and AKBA. However, boswellic acids failed to inhibit leukotriene formation in human whole blood, and pharmacokinetic data revealed very low concentrations of AKBA and KBA in plasma, being far below the effective concentrations for bioactivity in vitro. Moreover, permeability studies suggest poor absorption of AKBA following oral administration. In view of these results, the previously assumed mode of action – that is, 5-LO inhibition – is questionable. On the other hand, 100-fold higher plasma concentrations have been determined for β-boswellic acid, which inhibits microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 and the serine protease cathepsin G. Thus, these two enzymes might be reasonable molecular targets related to the anti-inflammatory properties of BSE. In view of the results of clinical trials and the experimental data from in vitro studies of BSE, and the available pharmacokinetic and metabolic data on boswellic acids, this review presents different perspectives and gives a differentiated insight into the possible mechanisms of action of BSE in humans. It underlines BSE as a promising alternative to NSAIDs, which warrants investigation in further pharmacological studies and clinical trials.

Olaparib (AZD-2281, trade name Lynparza) is an experimental chemotherapeutic agent, developed by KuDOS Pharmaceuticalsand later by AstraZeneca, that is currently undergoing clinical trials. It is an inhibitor of poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP), an enzyme involved in DNA repair.[1] It acts against cancers in people with hereditary BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, which includes many ovarian, breast and prostate cancers.

Olaparib is an oral poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor developed by AstraZeneca. The product is awaiting registration in the E.U. and US as a maintenance treatment of patients with BRCA mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed serous ovarian cancer. In 2014, positive opinion was received in the E.U. recommending Lynparza approval for the maintanance treatment of BRCA mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed serous ovarian cancer.

An oral poly (ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor being investigated by British drug company AstraZeneca, is seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of BRCA mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer. AstraZeneca filed the US regulatory submission for olaparib in February 2014.  Olaparib, one of several cancer drugs AstraZeneca flagged as having strong potential in its defense of a $118 billion take-over bid by Pfizer,was accepted for priority review on April 30, 2014  by the U.S.  Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The NDA filing was based on Phase II study 19 data, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase II study.

On June 25, 2014, FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC), an advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),  voted 11 to two against the accelerated approval of the PARP inhibitor olaparib as a maintenance therapy for women with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer who have the germline BRCA (gBRCA) mutation, and who are in complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. By voting no, the committee recommended waiting for results from the larger confirmatory phase III SOLO-2 trial, which began enrolling in September 2013. According to clincialtrials.gov, the SOLO-2 study (NCT01874353) is slated to wrap in July 2015.

In terms of clinical development, phase III trials are ongoing at AstraZeneca for the treatment of gastric cancer and metastatic breast cancer. Olaparib is also in phase II clinical studies for several indications, including breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and castration-resistant prostate cancer. In March 2014, a phase II was also initiated in GB for the treatment of patients with stage IIIB or stage IV NSCLC that is not amenable to curative therapy. A phase I clinical trial for the treatment of melanoma has been completed. Phase II clinical trials are ongoing at General Hospital Corp. for the treatment of sarcoma. The drug had been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of colorectal cancer; however no recent developments have been reported.

Discovered by KuDOS Pharmaceuticals, has experienced several twists and turns during its clinical development. Promising results for the drug were reported at the 2011 ASCO Annual Meeting, based on impressive early phase II results, only to have clinical development discontinued later that year after disappointing phase II trial results in a more generalized group of ovarian cancer patients. However, a re-analysis of the data in BRCA-positive patients – coupled with a reformulation of the drug – convinced the British drugmaker to think again and keep it going. AstraZeneca initiates Phase III clinical studies (SOLO 1 and SOLO 2) for olaparib in the U.S. in September 2013. AstraZeneca has filed Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for olaparib in EU in September 2013 based on Phase II study 19 data. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already granted olaparib orphan drug status for ovarian cancer and will hold an advisory panel hearing on the company’s application on June 25, 2014.

In 2013, orphan drug designation in the U.S. was assigned to the compound for the treatment of ovarian cancer. The compound was originally developed by Kudos Pharmaceuticals, which was acquired by AstraZeneca in 2006.

Early Phase I trials were promising, and olaparib underwent Phase II trials. However, in December 2011, AstraZeneca announced following interim analysis of a phase-II study which indicated that the previously reported progression free survival benefit was unlikely to translate into an overall survival benefit, that it would not progress into Phase III development for the maintenance treatment of serous ovarian cancer,[2] and took a charge of $285 million. The decision to discontinue development of the drug was reversed in 2013,[3] with AstraZeneca posting a new Phase III trial of Olaparib for patients with BRCA mutated ovarian cancer in April 2013.[4]

Mechanism of action

Olaparib acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) and is one of the first PARP inhibitors. Patients with BRCA1/2 mutations may be genetically predisposed to developing some forms of cancer, and are often resistant to other forms of cancer treatment, but this also sometimes gives their cancers a unique vulnerability, as the cancer cells have increased reliance on PARP to repair their DNA and enable them to continue dividing. This means that drugs which selectively inhibit PARP may be of significant benefit in patients whose cancers are susceptible to this treatment.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Trial results

Phase I clinical trials, in patients with BRCA-mutated tumors including ovarian cancer, were encouraging.[11] In one of these studies, it was given to 19 patients with inherited forms of advanced breast, ovarian and prostate cancers caused by mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. In 12 of the patients, none of whom had responded to other therapies, tumours shrank or stabilised.[12] One of the first patients to be given the treatment (who had castration-resistant prostate cancer) was as of July 2009 still in remission after two years.

In 2009 Phase II clinical trials examining the efficacy of Olaparib in treating breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer were initiated.[13][14] A phase II trial that included 63 cases of ovarian cancer concluded that olaparib is promising for women with ovarian cancer. [7 responses in 17 patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and 11 responses in the 46 who did not have these mutations.][15]

Side effects

Olaparib is generally well tolerated, the side effects consist mainly of fatigue, somnolence, nausea, loss of appetite and thrombocytopenia.

A mixture of 27% sodium methoxide solution in methanol (400 g, 2 mol) and methanol (150 ml) was added dropwise between ambient temperature and 30°C over 15 minutes to a stirred mixture of phthalide (67 g, 0.5 mol), 3-formylbenzonitrile (65.5 g, 0.5 mol) and ethyl propionate (250 ml) , the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 40 minutes and at reflux temperature for 1 hour, then it was allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The resulting red solid was collected by filtration, washed with ethyl acetate (2 x 50 ml) and dissolved in water (1800 ml) . The solution was acidified by the addition of acetic acid (60 ml) and the resulting red solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (2 x 200 ml) and dried in vacuo to give 3- (1,3- dioxoindan-2-yl) benzonitrile (83.2 g) as a dark red solid, m.pt. 179- 182°C, m/z (M+H)+‘ 248, which was used without further purification.

3- (1, 3-Dioxoindan-2-yl) benzonitrile (74.18 g, 0.3 mol) was added in portions to a solution of sodium hydroxide (36 g, 0.9 mol) in water (580 ml), the resulting dark red suspension was stirred at reflux temperature for 5 hours, then it was cooled to ambient temperature and washed with ethyl acetate (3 x 300 ml) . The aqueous solution was acidified by the dropwise addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid (110 ml), the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour, then the resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (2 x 200 ml) and dried in vacuo to give a 1:1 mixture of 3- (1,3- dioxoindan-2-yl)benzoic acid, (M+H)+” 267, and 2- [2- (3- carboxyphenyl) acetyl] benzoic acid, (M+H)+‘ 285, (69.32 g) , which was used without further purification.

The mixture obtained in the previous step (52.8 g) was added to a solution of triethylamine (37.55 g, 0.372 mol) in industrial methylated spirit (500 ml) and the resulting cloudy solution was filtered through a pad of filter-aid to give a clear solution. Hydrazine monohydrate (9.3 g, 0.186 mol) was added in one portion at ambient temperature, the stirred mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour, then it was concentrated in vacuo to approximately 250 ml and added to a solution of sodium acetate (41 g, 0.5 mol) in water (500 ml) . The mixture was brought to pH 7 by the dropwise addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid, then it was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (50 ml) and dried in va cuo to give a white solid (15.62 g) . The combined filtrate and washings were acidified to pH 6 by the addition of hydrochloric acid, then the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (50 ml) and dried in va cuo to give a second crop of off-white solid (17.57 g) . The combined filtrate and washings from the second crop were readjusted to pH 6 and treated as before to give a third crop of pale orange solid (6.66 g) . The three crops were combined to give essentially pure 3- (4-oxo-3, 4-dihydrophthalazin-l-ylmethyl) benzoic acid (A), (M+H)+‘ 281, δH 4.4 (2H, s), 7.2-7.4 (IH, m) , 7.5-7.6 (IH, ) , 7.7-8.0 (5H, m) , 8.1- 8.2 (IH, m) , 12.6 (IH, s)

To a stirred solution of the starting material D (850 g) in dimethylacetamide (DMA) (3561 ml) at room temperature under nitrogen was added HBTU (2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate) (1402 g) in one portion. Hünig’s base (iPr2NEt, 1096 ml) was then added with the temperature kept between 15 to 25° C. followed by a solution of 1-Boc-piperazine (637 g) in DMA (1428 ml) with the temperature kept between 15 to 25° C.

The solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and sampled for completion (HPLC). Upon completion the solution was added to vigorously stirred water (17085 ml) with the temperature kept between 15 to 25° C. and the solid filtered off, washing with water (2×7131 ml), hexane (2×7131 ml) and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (2×3561 ml). The solid was then dried overnight and then sampled for water content and chemical purity.

This reaction was then repeated, see table:

To a stirred solution of industrial methylated spirits (IMS) (2200 ml) and concentrated HCl (4400 ml) was added compound C (2780.2 g) in portions at room temperature under nitrogen, the foaming was controlled by the addition rate. The solution was then stirred at 15 to 25° C. for 30 minutes and sampled for completion (HPLC).

Upon completion the solution was evaporated to remove any IMS and the aqueous extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×3500 ml) before the pH was adjusted to >8 using concentrated ammonia. The resultant slurry was then diluted with water (10000 ml) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (4×3500 ml), washed with water (2×2000 ml), dried over MgSO4 (250 g) and evaporated. The crude product was then slurried in CH2Cl2 (3500 ml) and added to MTBE (5000 ml).

The solution was then stirred at 10-15° C. for 15 minutes and sampled for completion. The reaction mixture was found to contain only 1.18% of starting material B and so the reaction was deemed complete and the batch was then worked-up.

The reaction mixture was washed with water (7595 ml), 5% citric acid solution (7595 ml), 5% sodium carbonate solution (7595 ml) and water (7595 ml). The organic layer was then dried over magnesium sulfate (500 g).

The CH2Cl2 containing product layer was then isolated, filtered through Celite and charged to a 251 vessel. CH2Cl2 (8445 ml) was then distilled out at atmospheric pressure and ethanol (10000 ml) added. Distillation was then continued with every 4000 ml of distillate that was removed being replaced with ethanol (4000 ml) until the head temperature reached 73.7° C. The reaction volume was then reduced (to 7730 ml) by which time the head temperature had reached 78.9° C. and the solution was allowed to cool to 8° C. overnight. The solid was then filtered off, washed with ethanol (1290 ml) and dried at 70° C. overnight. Yield=1377.3 g (90%). HPLC purity (99.34% [area %]). Contained 4.93% ethanol and 0.45% CH2Cl2 by GC.

Biological Activity
Description Olaparib (AZD2281, KU0059436) is a selective inhibitor of PARP1 and PARP2 with IC50 of 5 nM and 1 nM, respectively.
Targets PARP1 PARP2
IC50 5 nM 1 nM [1]
In Vitro Olaparib would act against BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. AZD2281 is not sensitive to tankyrase-1 (IC50 >1 μM). Olaparib could ablate the PARP-1 activity at concentrations of 30-100 nM in SW620 cells. Olaparib is hypersensitive to BRCA1-deficient cell lines (MDA-MB-463 and HCC1937), compared with BRCA1- and BRCA2-proficient cell lines (Hs578T, MDA-MB-231, and T47D). [1] Olaparib is strongly sensitive to KB2P cells due to suppression of base excision repair by PARP inhibition, which may result in the conversion of single-strand breaks to double-strand breaks during DNA replication, thus activating BRCA2-dependent recombination pathways. [2]
In Vivo Combining with temozolomide, Olaparib (10 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly suppresses tumor growth in SW620 xenografts. [1] Olaparib shows great response to Brca1-/-;p53-/- mammary tumors (50 mg/kg i.p. per day), while no responses to HR-deficient Ecad-/-;p53-/- mammary tumors. Olaparib even does not show dose-limiting toxicity in tumor-bearing mice. [3] Olaparib has been used to treat with BRCA mutated tumors, such as ovarian, breast and prostate cancers. Moreover, Olaparib shows selectively inhibition to ATM (Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated)-deficient tumor cells, which indicates to be a potential agent for treating ATM mutant lymphoid tumors. [4]
Clinical Trials Combining with cediranib, Olaparib is currently in Phase I/II study for treatment of recurrent papillary-serous ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer or treatment of recurrent triple-negative breast cancer.
Features Olaparib is one of the first PARP inhibitors.
Protocol
Kinase Assay [1]
FlashPlate assay (96-well screening assay) To columns 1 through 10, 1 μL of Olaparib (in DMSO) is added, and 1 μL DMSO only is added to the positive (POS) and negative (NEG) control wells (columns 11 and 12, respectively) of a pretreated FlashPlate. PARP-1 is diluted 1:40 in buffer (buffer B: 10% glycerol (v/v), 25 mM HEPES, 12.5 mM MgCl2,50 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% NP-40 (v/v), pH 7.6) and 40 μL added to all 96 wells (final PARP-1 concentration in the assay is ~1 ng/μL). The plate is sealed and shaken at RT for 15 min. Following this, 10 μL of positive reaction mix (0.2 ng/μL of double-stranded oligonucleotide [M3/M4] DNA per well, 5 μM of NAD+ final assay concentration, and 0.075 μCi 3H-NAD+ per well) is added to the appropriate wells (columns 1-11). The negative reaction mix, lacking the DNA oligonucleotide, is added to column 12 (with the mean negative control value used as the background). The plate is resealed and shaken for a further 60 min at RT to allow the reaction to continue. Then, 50 μL of ice-cold acetic acid (30%) is added to each well to stop the reaction, and the plate is sealed and shaken for a further 60 min at RT. Tritiated signal bound to the FlashPlate is then determined in counts per minute (CPM) using the TopCount plate reader.
In vitro isolated enzyme assay PARP-2 activity inhibition uses a variation of the PARP-1 assay in which PARP-2 protein (recombinant) is bound down by a PARP-2 specific antibody in a 96-well white-walled plate. PARP-2 activity is measured following 3H-NAD+ DNA additions. After washing, scintillant is added to measure 3H-incorporated ribosylations. For tankyrase-1, a α-Screen assay is developed in which HIS-tagged recombinant TANK-1 protein is incubated with biotinylated NAD+in a 384-well ProxiPlate assay. Alpha beads are added to bind the HIS and biotin tags to create proximity signal, whereas the inhibition of TANK-1 activity is directly proportional to the loss of this signal.
Cell Assay [1]
Cell lines Breast cancer cell lines including SW620 colon, A2780 ovarian, HCC1937, Hs578T, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-436, and T47D
Concentrations 1-300 nM
Incubation Time 7-14 days
Method The cytotoxicity of Olaparib is measured by clonogenic assay. Olaparib is dissolved in DMSO and diluted by culture media before use. The cells are seeded in six well plates and left to attach overnight. Then Olaparib is added at various concentrations and the cells are incubated for 7-14 days. After that the surviving colonies are counted for calculating the IC50.
Animal Study [3]
Animal Models Brca1-/-;p53-/- mammary tumors are generated in K14cre;Brca1F/F;p53F/F mice.
Formulation 50 mg/mL stocks in DMSO with 10% 2-hydroxyl-propyl-β-cyclodextrine/PBS
Doses 50 mg/kg
Administration Administered via i.p. injection at 10 μL/g of body weight

Butoconazole nitrate (chemical name: l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(2,6-dichloro- -phenylthio)-n-butyl]-imidazol nitrate) is a compound of the formula (I),

Figure imgf000003_0001

(I)

it belongs among the aryl-ethylimidazole compounds, has fungicidal activity and may be used for the treatment of vaginal infections caused primarily by Candida albicans. Azoles exert their antifungal effect via modifying the ergosterol synthesis of fungus cells; more particularly, imidazoles inhibit the 14α-demethylase enzyme, thereby bringing about an increased level of 14α-methyl sterols which, in turn, causes an alteration of cell membrane permeability leading to the destruction of the fungus cells (Tetrahedron: Asymmetry Vol 4, No. 7, pp. 1521-1526, 1993). The first process for the preparation of the butoconazole nitrate is a multistep synthesis disclosed in the US 4,078,071 patent specification. Here two reaction routes are given for the preparation of the key intermediate of the formula (TV) (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n- -butyl] -imidazole) .

Figure imgf000004_0001

(IN)

According to one of them first an epoxy compound is prepared from an aromatic aldehyde or from an olefinic compound having a terminal double bond; then the epoxy compound is reacted with imidazole to yield the key intermediate. The aromatic aldehyde (VIII)

Figure imgf000004_0002

(VIII)

is treated with expensive and hazardous reagents (trimethylsulfoxonium iodide and sodium hydride) in dry dimethyl sulfoxide and the epoxide formed in the reaction is isolated after a complicated work-up. The epoxide so obtained is converted to the imidazole derivate in a time consuming reaction in the presence of dimethylformamide, then the key intermediate of the formula (IN) (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) is isolated and purified in an additional step. From the compounds having terminal double bond (Nil)

Figure imgf000004_0003

(Nil) the epoxide is obtained via a highly explosive peracidic oxidation step and the epoxide is then converted into (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IV) in a manner described above. In the other reaction route a poisoning aromatic α-halo-keto compound is used as starting material which is reacted with imidazole to give the corresponding keto-imidazole which, in turn, is reduced with a complex metal hydride – a reagent with potential hazards – to yield the key intermediate (IN). The reaction mixture is worked up in an involved manner. The synthesis way described in J. Med. Chem., 1978, Vol. 21, No. 8, pp 840-843 is as follows: l-chloro-4-chlorophenyl-2-butanol (II)

Figure imgf000005_0001

(II) is treated with the imidazole (III)

Figure imgf000005_0002

(HI)

in the presence of sodium hydride reagent in dimethylformamide solvent. This substitution reaction takes a long time and gives the (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]- imidazole) (IN) with a poor yield (51.7 %). In the next step of the butoconazole nitrate synthesis

(l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IN) is treated with thionyl chloride (which is at once a reagent and a solvent) at 65-70 °C to yield l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloro- -n-butyl] -imidazole of the formula (N).

Figure imgf000006_0001

(V)

The reaction mixture is then evaporated to dryness. The removal of the excess thionyl chloride, a highly corrosive substance, requires special equipment; the same applies to waste treatment, an operation which also involves an environmental risk. The residue is dissolved in dichloromethane, the solution is made alkaline by adding aqueous potassium carbonate solution. Phases are separated, the organic layer is washed with water, dried on magnesium sulphate and evaporated to give l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloro-n-butyl]-imidazole (N), as a gum. Said gum is dissolved in acetone and reacted with 2,6-dichlorothiophenol in the presence of potassium carbonate with a long reaction time. After the reaction has been finished, the inorganic salts are removed by filtration, the solvent is evaporated, and the residue is partitioned between water and ether. Butoconazole nitrate is precipitated with nitric acid from the ethereal layer. The end-product crystals in white plates from a mixture of acetone and ethyl acetate (yield: 84 %). Our aim was to provide a process by which the active agent can be prepared in high purity via reaction steps producing good yields and besides that said steps require neither solvents that are highly flammable and explosive (ether), carcinogenic (dimethylformamide) or corrosive (thionylchloride), nor reagents (e. g. sodium hydride) that are highly flammable or explosive. We have surprisingly found that when the starting material l-chloro-4-chlorophenyl-2-

-butanol (II) is reacted with the imidazole (III) in a mixture of toluene and aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst, the

(l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IN) key intermediate is obtained with short reaction time and excellent yield (95 %). Next we studied alternative solvents to replace the thionyl chloride in solvent function in the reaction step converting (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IN) into (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloro-n-butyl]-imidazole) (N). In the inert solvents which could be taken into account such as dichloromethane, toluene, chlorobenzene and dimethylformamide, the chlorinating reaction yielded a sticky reaction mixture which couldn’t be processed. We have surprisingly found, however that when (l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) (IN) is dissolved in 1 ,2-dichloroethane and reacted with approximately equimolar amount of thionyl chloride reagent in the presence of catalytic amount of dimethylformamide at 30-35 °C temperature, a crystal suspension is obtained which is easy-to-stir during the whole reaction time, resulting in that chlorination proceeds completely giving l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloro-n-butyl]-imidazole (N) in quantitative yield. Being the compound sufficiently pure, it is not isolated, but separated by extraction and reacted directly with 2,6-dichlorothiophenol in methyl isobutyl ketone to give 1 -[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(2,6-dichlorophenylthio)-n-butyl]-imidazole (VI) (butoconazole).

Example 1. Preparation of (1 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hvdroxy-n-butyll-imidazole) (IV) To a solution of 56.7 g (0.26 mol) of l-chloro-4-chloroρhenyl-2-butanol (J. of Medicinal Chemistry, 1978. Nol. 21. No. 8. p. 842) in 200 ml of toluene 36.2 g (0.9 mol) of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 100 ml of water, 6.4 g (0.028 mol) of benzyltriethyammomum chloride and 35.2 g (0.51 mol) of imidazole (III) are added. The reaction mixture is heated at 93-95 °C for one hour then the temperature is returned to about 60 °C, the phases are separated and to the organic layer water (100 ml) is added. The mixture is first stirred at 22-25 °C for 1 hour then at 0-5 °C for two hours. The crystals are separated by filtration, washed with water (2 x 35 ml) of 0-5 °C to yield 74 g of wet (l-[4-(4-chloroρhenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole) which is dried at maximum 50 °C in vacuo to give 61.6 g (95 %) of the product. Recrystallization from ethyl acetate gives 52.4 g (85 %) of dry product melting at 104-106 °C.

 

Example 2. Preparation of l-[4-(4-chlorophenvπ-2-(2,6-(McMorophenyl o)-n-butyl1-ϊmidazole nitrate (I) 25 g (0.1 mol) of l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy-n-butyl]-imidazole (IN) is suspended in 1,2-dichloroethane (125 ml), to this suspension dimethylformamide (1 ml) and thionyl chloride (13.6 g; 0.11 mol) are added at 30-32 °C and the reaction mixture is kept at 35-38 °C for 1.5 hour under stirring. After the chlorination has been finished the homogenous solution is cooled to 15-18 °C, the excess of thionyl choride is decomposed with water (10 ml) then again water (80 ml) is added to the solution. After stirring at 20-22 °C for 0.5 hour the phases are separated and the organic layer is extracted with water (30 ml). To the aqueous solution methyl isobutyl ketone (250 ml) is added and the pH of the mixture is adjusted to 8.5 – 9 with 15 g (0.14 mol) of sodium carbonate dissolved in water (70 ml). The mixture is stirred at 22-25 °C for 0.5 hour, phases are separated, from the organic layer an 50 ml portion is distilled off to remove water and to the remaining solution 26.8 g (0.15 mol) of 2,6-dichloro-thiophenol and 40 g (0.29 mol) of dry potassium carbonate are added. The suspension is stirred at 105 – 108 °C under nitrogen for 3-4 hours. After the reaction has been finished the inorganic salts are removed by filtration at 22-25 °C, the filtrate is washed and clarified with activated carbon and the pH of the clear solution is adjusted to 3 – 3.5 by adding about 8 – 9 ml of 65 % nitric acid. The solution is stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour then the temperature is lowered to 8 – 12 °C. The crystals obtained are filtered and washed to give 48 g of wet l-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(2,6-dichlorophenylthio)-n-butyl]- -imidazole nitrate corresponding to 42.6 g (90 %) of dry product.

The chlorohydrin (II) is obtained by the reaction of p-chlorobenzylmagnesium chloride (I) with epichlorohydrin (A) in ether. This is then converted to the crystalline alcohol (III) by reaction with sodium imidazole (B) in DMF. On treatment with thionyl chloride is converted to the corresponding chloro compound (IV). When (IV) is reacted with 2,6-dichloro thiophenol (C) in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate in acetone, the free base of butoconazole is formed. Neutralization of the free base (V) with nitric acid gives butoconazole.

FDA issues Guidance for a clear Identification of pharmaceutical Companies

In November the US FDA has issued a Guidance for a clear identification of pharmaceutical companies. The authority now definitely prefers the DUNS system. Get more information.

In our GMP News from September 2013 you learned about a draft of a FDA Guidance for Industry entitled “Specification of the Unique Facility Identifier (UFI) System for Drug Establishment Registration”. This document’s goal was to clearly identify pharmaceutical sites. The draft comprised (manageable) five pages – including the cover page. And in terms of volume this didn’t change. However, some of the alternatives still mentioned in the draft, are not stated any longer – as one can find out when contacting the authority in these cases. The method now wanted is a registration by a D-U-N-S- (Data Universal Numbering System) number. This number – which is a 9-digit code – is…
