Each 100-mg vial contains 100 mg of bendamustine hydrochloride and 170 mg of mannitol, USP. The pH of the reconstituted solution is 2.5 -3.5.
Bendamustine hydrochloride, 4-{5-[Bis(2-chloroethyl) amino]- l-methyl-2- benzimidazolyl} butyric acid hydrochloride, of the formula (VI) :
was initially synthesized in 1963 in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and was available from 1971 to 1992 there, as the hydrochloride salt, under the trade name Cytostasan®. Since that time, it has been marketed in Germany under the trade name Ribomustin®. Bendamustine Hydrochloride as injection is available in the United States under the tradename Treanda®. Bendamustine hydrochloride is an alkylating agent that is approved for the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Bendamustine hydrochloride is a benzimidazole analog. While bendamustine has been demonstrated as efficacious, it is known to be unstable, especially in aqueous solutions, leading to formation of non-bendamustine products (i.e. “degradation impurities”) which leads to technical difficulties in its preparation and administration. In light of its instability in aqueous solution, bendamustine is supplied as a lyophilized cake of bendamustine hydrochloride salt. US2006/159713, US 2006/128777 and WO2010/036702 disclose various impurities of Bendamustine hydrochloride which are as follows:

Jena et al. were the first to disclose the synthesis of Bendamustine hydrochloride in German (GDR) Patent No. 34727. Krueger et al. in German (GDR) Patent No. 159877 recite a method as summarized in scheme-1, for the synthesis of bendamustine hydrochloride comprising the reaction of the 4-[l-methyl-5-bis-(2- hydroxyethyl)-benzimidazolyl-2]butyric acid ethyl ester (4) (or the corresponding methyl, propyl or butyl ester) with thionyl chloride in chloroform at 0-5°C to form 4-[l- methyl-5-bis-(2-chloroethyl)-benzimidazolyl-2]butyric acid ethyl ester (5). Excess of thionyl chloride is destroyed by stirring the reaction mixture in aqueous HCl. Finally chloroform is distilled off and stirred at 95°C for 3 hours. The reaction mixture is partially concentrated and the residue is diluted with water and stirred upto crystallization. Further purification is done by recrystallization from water.

Ozegowski et al in Zentralblatt fuer Pharmazie, Pharmakotherapie und Laboratoriumsdiagnostik 1 10 (10), 1013-1019 (1971) discloses a process for the preparation of bendamustine hydrochloride monohydrate. The Chinese journal “Chinese journal of New Drugs “, 2007, No. 23, Vol. 16, 1960-61 and J. Prakt. Chem. 20, 178-186 (1963) disclose another method for the synthesis of Bendamustine hydrochloride monohydrate starting from 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene as summarized in scheme-2.
The crucial conversions are reaction of l-methyl-2-(4′-ethyl butyrate)-5- amino]-lH-benzimidazole 6 with ethylene oxide in the presence of water, sodium acetate and acetic acid, by maintaining at 5°C for 5 hours and overnight at 20°C to give 4-{5-[bis-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-amino]-l-methyl-lH-benzimidazol-2-yl}-butyric acid ethyl ester (dihydroxy ester) 7 as a jelly mass, which on chlorination using thionyl chloride in chloroform and subsequent in situ hydrolysis with concentrated HCI gave bendamustine hydrochloride. It also discloses a process for the recrystallization of bendamustine hydrochloride from water and the product obtained is a monohydrate with a melting point of 148-151°C.
IP.com Journal 2009, 9(7B), 21 discloses another process as shown below for the preparation of ethyl-4-[5-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl) amino]- l-methylbenzimidazol-2- yl]butanoate (III) wherein ethyl-4-(5 -amino- 1 -methyl- lH-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) butanoate (II) is reacted with 2-halo ethanol in the presence of an inorganic base selected from the group consisting potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium
The PCT application WO 2010/042568 assigned to Cephalon discloses the synthesis of Bendamustine hydrochloride as summarized in schem-3 starting from 2,4- dintroaniline in six steps. The crucial step is reductive alkylation of Il-a, using borane- tetrahydrofuran and chloroacetic acid at ambient temperature, producing compound of formula I-a.

Bendamustine hydrochloride (Pure)
The most of the prior art processes described above involve
• The use of ethylene oxide for the preparation of bendamustine hydrochloride, which is often not suitable for industrial scale processes due to difficulty in handling ethylene oxide, since it is shipped as a refrigerated liquid.
• Further, the known processes involve the use of strongly acidic conditions and high temperatures for the hydrolysis of ethyl ester of bendamustine and subsequent in-situ formation of bendamustine hydrochloride, thereby resulting in increased levels of various process-related impurities IMP. -A (RRT-0.46), IMP. -B (RRT-1.27) and IMP. -C (RRT-1.31) whose removal is quite difficult and make the process less economically viable.
IMP.-B
International Application Publication No. WO 2009/120386 describes various solid forms of bendamustine hydrochloride designated as bendamustine hydrochloride Form 1, bendamustine hydrochloride Form 2, bendamustine hydrochloride Form 3, bendamustine hydrochloride Form 4, amorphous bendamustine hydrochloride or a mixture thereof, processes for their preparation and lyophilized composition comprising the solid forms. According to the disclosure, monohydrate of bendamustine hydrochloride has been prepared previously. The monohydrate has a reported melting point of 152-156°C which is similar to that of the observed melting point of bendamustine hydrochloride Form 2.
It is known that synthetic compounds can contain extraneous compounds or impurities resulting from their synthesis or degradation. The impurities can be unreacted starting materials, by-products of the reaction, products of side reactions, or degradation products. Generally, impurities in an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) may arise from degradation of the API itself, or during the preparation of the API. Impurities in Bendamustine hydrochloride or any active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) are undesirable and might be harmful.
Regulatory authorities worldwide require that drug manufacturers isolate, identify and characterize the impurities in their products. Furthermore, it is required to control the levels of these impurities in the final drug compound obtained by the manufacturing process and to ensure that the impurity is present in the lowest possible levels, even if structural determination is not possible. The product mixture of a chemical reaction is rarely a single compound with sufficient purity to comply with pharmaceutical standards. Side products and byproducts of the reaction and adjunct reagents used in the reaction will, in most cases, also be present in the product mixture. At certain stages during processing of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, the product is analyzed for purity, typically, by HPLC, TLC. or GC analysis, to determine if it is suitable for continued processing and, ultimately, for use in a pharmaceutical product. Purity standards are set with the intention of ensuring that an API is as free of impurities as possible, and, thus, are as safe as possible for clinical use. The United States Food and Drug Administration guidelines recommend that the amounts of some impurities are limited to less than 0.1 percent.
Generally, impurities are identified spectroscopically and by other physical methods, and then the impurities are associated with a peak position in a chromatogram (or a spot on a TLC plate). Thereafter, the impurity can be identified by its position in the chromatogram, which is conventionally measured in minutes between injection of the sample on the column and elution of the particular component through the detector, known as the “retention time” (“RT”). This time period varies daily based upon the condition of the instrumentation and many other factors. To mitigate the effect that such variations have upon accurate identification of an impurity, practitioners use “relative retention time” (“RRT”) to identify impurities. The RRT of an impurity is its retention time divided by the retention time of a reference marker.
It is known by those skilled in the art, the management of process impurities is greatly enhanced by understanding their chemical structures and synthetic pathways, and by identifying the parameters that influence the amount of impurities in the final product.
Therefore, there remains a need for improved process for the preparation of bendamustine hydrochloride, producing high yield and purity, and well-suited for use on an industrial scale. Despite the existence of various polymorphic forms of bendamustine hydrochloride, there exists a need for a simple process for the preparation of the stable form of bendamustine hydrochloride which is amenable to scale up and results in high yield and purity.
Bendamustine (INN, trade names Treakisym, Ribomustin, Levact and Treanda; also known as SDX-105) is a nitrogen mustardused in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia[1] and lymphomas. It belongs to the family of drugs called alkylating agents. It is also being studied for the treatment of sarcoma.[2] It is also being investigated in phase II trials for the non-cancer treatment of AL Amyloidosis.
Bendamustine hydrochloride, initially synthesized in 1963 in the German Democratic Republic, is an alkylating agent that has been shown to have therapeutic utility in treating diseases such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and breast cancer.It was available from 1971 to 1992 under the trade name Cytostasanand, since that time, has been marketed in Germany as Ribomustin.In March 2008 the FDA approved bendamustine hydrochloride under the trade name Treanda for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Approval for use in indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) was received in 2009.
History
Bendamustine was first synthesized in 1963 by Ozegowski and Krebs in East Germany (the former German Democratic Republic). Until 1990 it was available only in East Germany. East German investigators found that it was useful for treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma and lung cancer.
Bendamustine received its first marketing approval in Germany, where it is marketed under the tradename Ribomustin, by Astellas Pharma GmbH’s licensee, Mundipharma International Corporation Limited. It is indicated as a single-agent or in combination with other anti-cancer agents for indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. SymBio Pharmaceuticals Ltd holds exclusive rights to develop and market bendamustine HCl in Japan and selected Asia Pacific Rim countries.
In March 2008, Cephalon received approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration to market bendamustine in the US, where it is sold under the tradename Treanda, for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.[3]
In October 2008, the FDA granted further approval to market Treanda for the treatment of indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that has progressed during or within six months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen.[4]
Pharmacology
Bendamustine is a white, water soluble microcrystalline powder with amphoteric properties. It acts as an alkylating agent causing intra-strand and inter-strand cross-links between DNA bases.
After intravenous infusion it is extensively metabolised in the liver by cytochrome p450. More than 95% of the drug is bound to protein – primarily albumin. Only free bendamustine is active. Elimination is biphasic with a half-life of 6–10 minutes and a terminal half-life of approximately 30 minutes. It is eliminated primarily through the kidneys. This paragraph is inconsistent with sidebar for primary excretion pathway.
Chemotherapeutic uses
Bendamustine has been used both as sole therapy and in combination with other agents including etoposide, fludarabine,mitoxantrone, methotrexate, prednisone, rituximab, vincristine and 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan.
Lymphomas
One combination for stage III/IV relapsed or refractory indolent lymphomas and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), with or without prior rituximab-containing chemoimmunotherapy treatment, is bendamustine with mitoxantrone and rituximab.[5] In Germany in 2012 it has become the first line treatment of choice for indolent lymphoma.[6] after Trial results released in June 2012 showed that it more than doubled disease progression-free survival when given along with rituximab. The combination also left patients with fewer side effects than the older R-CHOP treatment.[7]
Adverse effects
Common adverse reactions are typical for the class of nitrogen mustards, and include nausea, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, constipation, loss of appetite, cough, headache, unintentional weight loss, difficulty breathing, rashes, and stomatitis, as well as immunosuppression, anemia, and low platelet counts. Notably, this drug has a low incidence of hair loss (alopecia) unlike most other chemotherapy drugs.[8]

, is a cytostatic agent currently approved, in a form of a hydrochloride salt, for treatment of various cancer diseases, e.g. chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It is marketed in the form of a lyophilized powder for intravenous injection, e.g., under the brand name Ribomustin.
Bendamustine, including bendamustine hydrochloride, was first disclosed in DD 34727. Bendamustine hydrochloride may exist, in solid state, in various polymorphic forms, which are disclosed, e.g. in WO 2009/120386. The hydrochloride product disclosed in DD 34727 is a monohydrate. The original process for making bendamustine in DD 34727 comprises the following synthetic pathway:
The group R in the above process is an ethyl group.
The last step of the above process was subsequently technologically improved in DD 159877.
Without providing any experimental detail, DD 34727 also teaches that the starting compound of formula (4) for the above process may be prepared from 2-methylamino-5-nitro- aniline of formula (2) and glutaric acid anhydride. The obtained anilide of formula (3) is cyclized in diluted hydrochloric acid.
Li-Mei et al, in Zhongguo Xinyao Zazhi, Chinese Journal of New Drugs (2007), 16(23), 1960-1961, disclose a process for the preparation of bendamustine hydrochloride in a total yield of 33.5%, which also involves reacting the compound of formula (10) with ethylene oxide to give compound (11). Starting from 2,4-dinitro-l-chlorobenzene, compound (11) is obtained in an overall yield of about 40%.IP.com Journal 2009, 9(7B), 21 discloses a process for the preparation of ethyl-4-[5-[bis(2- hydroxyethyl)amino]-l-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl]butanoate (11) [R=Et], wherein the corresponding compound of formula (10) reacts, instead of ethylene oxide, with 2-halo ethanol in the presence of an inorganic base.
A similar process has been disclosed in WO 2011/079193, wherein the base employed in the reaction of the compound of formula (10) with the 2-haloethanol is an organic base, which is advantageous over inorganic base. The preferred ester group R in the compounds (10) and (11) is the 2-propyl group.
WO 2010/042568 discloses a second basic process for making bendamustine, which is based on providing the compound of formula (5)
(5)
, wherein R is typically a methyl group, by a two step synthesis starting from 2,4- dinitroaniline of formula (6) via the dinitroanilide of formula (7)
This compound of formula (5) is subjected, at reductive conditions (preferably hydrogenation over a platinum catalyst), to a cyclization reaction forming a compound of formula (8)
(8)
, which subsequently may be dehydrated by a strong acid to yield the compound of formula
(10) above. The substituent R in both formulas is a methyl group.
The compound of formula (10) is advantageously subjected to a reductive alkylation with a chloroacetic acid or chloroacetylaldehyde. The reductive agent in the alkylation is suitably a borane or a borohydride. This way, the bendamustine ester of formula (la)
, wherein R is a methyl group, is made directly, without need of forming an intermediate bis-hydroxyethyl compound (11). In the last step of the overall process, the ester (la) is hydrolyzed by a strong acid.
In any process of making bendamustine, various impurities are formed due to various reactive groups in the molecule.
The subject of the present invention is a novel synthetic route to intermediates involved in the synthesis of bendamustine of formula (1) as well as of salts and esters thereof. The approach is based on a novel use of a compound of formula (13) below as the starting material in a synthetic transformation leading to bendamustine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
In a first aspect, the invention provides a process for making a compound of formula (11), or a salt thereof,
wherein R is hydrogen or a C1-C4 alkyl group,
said process comprising the following steps:
a] providing the compound of formula (13), preferably by reaction of the compound of formula (12) with methylamine,
(12) (13)b] reduction of the compound of formula (13), preferably by hydrogen under catalysis by a transition metal, to an amino compound of formula (14),
c] condensation of the compound of formula (14) with glutaric acid anhydride, or a functional analogue thereof, providing a tertiary alcohol compound of formula (15)
and/or any tautomeric forms thereof according to formula (14A) or (14B)
(14A), (14B),
d] dehydratation and, optionally, esterification of the product of the step c) , preferably in the presence of a strong acid, to yield the compound of formula (11).
In a particular aspect, the above process sequence leading to a compound of formula (11) further comprises a subsequent step of converting the compound of formula (11) to
bendamustine, a salt thereof or an ester thereof, conventionally by reaction with thionyl chloride, followed by ester hydrolysis and salt formation using hydrochloric acid. In yet another aspect, the process sequence of the above steps a) to c) or, optionally, of the above steps a) to d), is performed without isolation or purification of intermediates.
The compounds of formula (14), (14A), (14B) and (15), the above processes of making them, and the use thereof as a starting material for making compounds of formula (11) and/or bendamustine of formula (1), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, form next particular aspects of the present invention.

Example 3
A solution of [11, R = Me] (4.0 g, 12 mmol) in dichloromethane (40.0ml) was prepared.
A 100 ml, three -necked, round -bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar and a reflux condenser was charged with thionyl chloride (3.60 g, 2.20 ml, 30 mmol) and dichloromethane (12.0 ml) to produce a clear solution. The latter was stirred at 500 rpm at 23 °C and the solution of [11 , R = Me] was added over 15 min via a syringe pump. The resulting mixture was stirred at 500 rpm at 23 °C for 15 min and then at 35 °C for 3.0 h. An aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (19.4 %) was prepared by mixing of concentrated hydrochloric acid (4.7 g, 4.0 ml) with water (4.0 g, 4.0 ml) and the solution was charged to the reaction mixture. The mixture was further stirred at 500 rpm at 60 °C for 2.0 h under reduced pressure of 100 mbar and the escaping volatiles were condensed and collected outside the reaction vessel. An aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (4.0 ml, 5 M) was charged in order to dilute the reaction mixture. The mixture was filtered through diatomaceous earth and the filter cake was washed with aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (2x 1.0 ml, 5 M). The collected filtrate was treated with activated carbon, the used carbon was filtered off, washed with aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (2x 1.0 ml, 5M), and the filtrate was collected to a 100 ml, round -bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar. The filtrate was stirred and diluted with water (40.0 g, 40.0 ml). The slurry was filtered and the filter cake was washed with water (2x 1.0 ml). The filter cake (3.8 g) was charged to a 25 ml, round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stirring bar containing an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (8.5 ml, 5M). The mixture was stirred at 60 °C until the solids were dissolved and activated carbon (0.38 g) was charged. The mixture was stirred at 40 °C for additional 5 min and the suspension was filtered through a diatomaceous earth pad. The filter cake was washed with aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (2x 1.0 ml, 5M) and the filtrate was collected to a 100 ml, round -bottomed equipped with a magnetic stirring bar. The filtrate was stirred at 23 °C and water (42.0 g, 42.0 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred at 23 °C for additional 1 h. The slurry of crystals was filtered and the filter cake was washed with aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (2x 3.0 ml, 5M). The filtrate was discarded and the filter cake was dried to produce Bendamustine hydrochloride monohydrate (3.3 g) with an overall isolated yield of 67 % and with a chemical purity of 99.9 % by HPLC peak area normalization.

The synthesis of Bay u 3405 was carried out as follows: Reductive amination of 3-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole (I) with S-phenethylamine (II) afforded a mixture of diastereomeric amines, of which the desired isomer (III) crystallized in high diastereomeric purity as the hydrogensulfate. Cleavage of the phenethyl group by transfer hydrogenolysis with amminium formate and palladium on charcoal yielded the enantiomerically pure (3R)-3-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole (IV). Sulfonylation of (IV) with 4-fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (V) to the sulfonamide (VI) followed by addition of acrylonitrile and subsequent hydrolysis gave Bay u 3405.

The synthesis of [14C]-labeled Bay-u-3405 by two closely related ways has been described: 1) [14C]-Labeled aniline (I) is diazotized and reduced with sodium sulfite, yielding the labeled hydrazine (II), which is condensed with the monoketal of cyclohexane-1,4-dione (III) under Fisher’s indole synthesis (ZnCl2) to afford the tetrahydrocarbazole (IV). The hydrolysis of (IV) with HCl in THF/water yields 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazol-3-one (V), which is submitted to a reductive condensation with (S)-1-phenylethylamine (VI) by means of tetrabutylammonium borohydride, yielding preferentially the secondary amine (VII), which, after purification, is dealkylated with ammonium formate and Pd/C to afford 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole-3(R)-amine (VIII). The acylation of (VIII) with 4-fluorophenylsulfonyl chloride (IX) gives the corresponding sulfonamide (X), which is condensed with acrylonitrile by means of NaH, yielding 3-[3(R)-(4-fluorophenylsulfonamido)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazol-9-yl]pro pionitrile (XI). Finally, this compound is hydrolyzed in the usual way. 2) The condensation of the sulfonamide (X) with methyl acrylate by means of NaH as before gives 3-[3(R)-(4-fluorophenylsulfonamido)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazol-9-yl]propionic acid methyl ester (XII), which is finally hydrolyzed in the usual way.

This invention relates to 2-amino- tetrahydrocarbazole-propanoic acid and a new process for its synthesis .
2-Amino-tetrahydrocarbazole-propanoic acid is a key intermediate for the synthesis of Ramatroban, a thromboxaneA2 receptor (TP) antagonist with clinical efficacy in asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Ramatroban l-Amino-tetrahydrocarbazole-proanoic acid
US Patent 4988820 discloses the synthesis of this compound stating from compound 1, which is condensed with phenylhydrazine and ring-closed to give indole 2. Deprotection of 2 using acid provides ketone 3. Reductive amination of ketone with s-phenylethylamine in the presence of tetrabutylammonium borohydride provides compound 4, which undergoes palladium catalyzed hydrogenation to give key intermediate 5.
Ramatroban
The process, however, has disadvantages: the starting material 1 is relatively expensive, and the yield of the amination step is only 40% and needs expensive tetrabutylammonium borohydride as the reducing agent. And also the subsequent hydrogenation provides only 70% of the desired compound 5. [0006] US Patent 4988820 also describes an alternative synthesis of compound 5 starting from compound 6, which is oxidized by chromium trioxide to afford ketone 7. Condensation of compound 7 with phenylhydrazine and ring closure give indole 8. The subsequent hydrolysis using HCl provides indole 9. The intermediate 5 is obtained by resolution of racemic 9 using ( + ) -mandelic acid as the resolving agent.
9 5
However, this process has crucial disadvantages: the first step oxidation reaction needs the heavy metal reagent chromium trioxide, which is toxic and expensive, and the resolution of indole 9 using (+) -mandelic acid affords only -10 % of compound 5.
US Patent 5684158 discloses the synthesis of 2- amino-tetrahydrocarbazole-propanoic acid ethyl ester 10 by the alkylation of compound 5 in the presence of about 1 mol of alkali metal hydroxides and phase-transfer catalysts such as potassium hydroxide and benzyltriethylammonium chloride.
The problem with this reaction is that the insoluble material in the reaction mixture becomes very sticky during the reaction. The reaction mixture must be filtered in hot solvent in order to remove insoluble material during work up and the sticky material tents to block the filtration. [0010] Therefore, there is a great need for a new process for the synthesis of 2-amino-tetrahydrocarbazole- propanoic acid.

Antagonists of the CC-chemokine receptor 2 (CCR-2) have been vigorously pursued by a number of pharmaceutical companies as a target for drug discovery, in that compounds could have the potential for use in the acute and chronic conditions of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases associated with infiltration of monocytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, dendritic cells, NK cells, eosinophils, basophils, natural killer (NK cells), and memory T-cells. A compound of interest that was discovered in the Janssen laboratories that met the initial criteria set out during the in vitro screening phase of drug discovery was bicyclic 1
Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines that are released by a wide variety of cells to attract leukocytes, as illustrated by macrophages, T cells, B cells, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils to and from sites of inflammation or within specific compartments, as illustrated by lymph nodes (reviewed in Schall, Cytokine 1991 ; 3: 165- 183; Schall, et al., Curr. Opin. Immunol. 1994; 6:865- 873; and Murphy, Rev. Immun. 1994; 12:593-633). In addition to stimulating chemotaxis, other changes can be selectively induced by chemokines in responsive cells, including changes in cell shape, transient rises in the concentration of intracellular free calcium ions ([Ca2+]), granule exocytosis, integrin upregulation, formation of bioactive lipids (e.g., leukotrienes), and respiratory burst, associated with leukocyte activation. Thus, the chemokines are early modulators of inflammatory response, effecting inflammatory mediator release, chemotaxis and extravasation to sites of infection or inflammation.
There are four classes of chemokines, CXC (a), CC (β), C (γ), and CX3C (δ), depending on whether the first two cysteines are separated by a single amino acid (C-X- C), are adjacent (C-C), have a missing cysteine pair (C), or are separated by three amino acids (CX3C). The a-chemokines, such as interleukin-8 (IL-8), melanoma growth stimulatory activity protein (MGSA), and stromal cell derived factor 1 (SDF-1) are chemotactic primarily for neutrophils and lymphocytes, whereas β-chemokines, such as RANTES, ΜΙΡ-Ια, ΜΙΡ- Ι β, monocyte chemotactic protein- 1 (MCP-1), MCP-2, MCP-3, and eotaxin are chemotactic for macrophages, T-cells, eosinophils and basophils (Deng, et al., Naturel996; 381 :661-666). The C chemokine lymphotactin shows specificity for lymphocytes (Kelner, et al., Science 1994; 266: 1395-1399) while the CX3C chemokine fractalkine shows specificity for lymphocytes and monocytes (Bazan, et al., Nature 1997; 385:640-644).
Chemokines bind specific cell-surface receptors belonging to the family of G- protein-coupled seven-transmembrane-domain proteins (reviewed in Horuk, Trends
Pharm. Sci. 1994; 15: 159-165) termed “chemokine receptors.” On binding their cognate ligands, chemokine receptors transduce an intracellular signal through the associated heterotrimeric G protein, resulting in a rapid increase in intracellular calcium concentration. There are at least twelve human chemokine receptors that bind or respond to β-chemokines with the following characteristic pattern: CCR1 (or “CKR-1 ” or “CC- CKR-1 “) ΜΙΡ-Ια, ΜΙΡ-Ι β, MCP-3, RANTES (Ben-Barruch, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1995; 270:22123-22128; Neote, et al., Cell 1993; 72:415425); CCR2A and CCR2B (or “CKR- 2A’7″CKR-2A” or “CC-CKR-2A”/”CC-CKR2A”) MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3, MCP-4; CCR3 (or “CKR-3” or “CC-CKR-3”) eotaxin, RANTES, MCP; (Ponath, et al., J.

Chemokine receptors, such as CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, CCR4, CCR5, CCR6, CCR7, CCR8, CCR9, CXCR1, CXCR2, CXCR3, CXCR4, CXCR5, CX3CR1, and XCRl have been implicated as being important mediators of inflammatory and immunoregulatory disorders and diseases, including asthma and allergic diseases, as well as autoimmune pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis.
The CCR2 chemokine receptor is expressed primarily in monocytes and activated T lymphocytes, and its functional activity can be measured by cytosolic calcium elevation or chemotaxis. CCR2 exists in two isoforms, CCR2A and CCR2B. These two isoforms are alternatively spliced variants of a single MCP- 1 receptor gene and differ only in the carboxyl-terminal tails. The chromosomal location of the CCR2 gene is localized to
3p21. The CC chemokines, MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3, and MCP-4, have been identified as the ligands that are selective and of high affinity to the CCR2 receptor.
The highly selective expression of CCR2 makes it an ideal target for intervention to interrupt inappropriate monocyte and T cell trafficking. The clinical indications for such intervention are in inflammatory diseases and T-cell mediated autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, allergy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atherosclerosis, restinosis, type I and type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and pain. Ectopic expression of MCP-1 and CCR2 in certain tumors indicates that selective modulation (such as antagonism or inhibition) of CCR2 can have value in tumor immunotherapy, particularly attenuation of metastasis.
The native peptide ligand of CCR2 is monocyte chemoattractant protein- 1 (MCP- 1 or CCL2) containing two adjacent disulfied bonds. Ample evidence exists for the role of the CCR2/MCP-1 system in preclinical animal models of pain (White F.A., Jung F., and Miller R.J., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2007; 51 :20151). Although CCR2 and MCP- 1 have limited expression levels in the CNS tissues under normal conditions, significant upregulation of CCR2 and MCP- 1 has been observed following a neuropathic injury in tissue relevant to pain, including neurons and glia in the spinal cord, rostroventromedial medulla (RVM) and DRG (Wang H., Zou S., Wei F., Dubner R., and Ren K., Soc for Neurosci Poster 2009; 72.3). MCP- 1 has been shown to increase the excitability of neurons acutely dissociated from the DRG tissue (Sun J.H., Yang B., Donnelly D.F., Ma C, and LaMotte R.H., J Neurophysiol. 2006; 96:2189). In addition, direct injection of MCP- 1 in the spinal cord induces thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia (Dansereau et al. Neurochem. 2008; 106:7), and the MCP- 1 induced pronociception can be blocked by a CCR2 antagonist, INCB3344. Similarly, the hyperalgesia induced by MCP-1 injection in the RVM is reversed by another CCR2 antagonist, RS I 02895 (Wang H., Zou S., Wei F., Dubner R. and Ren K., Soc for Neurosci Poster 2009; 72.3). In addition, CCR2 knock out mice exhibit significantly reduced mechanical allydonia following nerve injury and reduced nocifensive behavior in the second phase of the formalin model, whereas they exhibit normal sensitivity to acute pain stimulation in the hot plate model (Abbadie C, Lindia J.A., Cumiskey A.M., Peterson L.B., Mudgett J.S., Bayne E.K., DeMartino J.A., Maclntyre D.E., and Forrest M.J., Proc Natl Aca Sci USA 2003; 100:7947). Treatment with AZ889 (Serrano A., Pare M., Mcintosh F., Elmes S.J.R. Martino G., Jomphe C, Lessard E., Lembo P.M.C., Vaillancourt F., Perkins M.N., and Cao C.Q., Mol. Pain 2010; 6:90), a CCR2 antagonist, abolished CCL2-evoked neuronal excitation, confirming that this activity is CCR2 -mediated. Neuronal and non-neuronal cells in the spinal cord were also excited by CCL2 applications indicating an important role of spinal CCR2 in neuropathic pain. In vivo spinal intrathecal injection of AZ889 produced dose-dependent analgesia in chronic constriction injury rats (Serrano A., Pare M., Mcintosh F., Elmes S.J.R., Martino G., Jomphe C, Lessard E., Lembo P.M.C., Vaillancourt F., Perkins M.N., and Cao C.Q., Mol. Pain 2010; 6:90). Additionally, application of AZ889 to the exposed spinal cord inhibited evoked neuronal activity and confirmed that CCR2-mediated analgesia involved predominantly the spinal cord. In view of the clinical importance of CCR2, the identification of compounds that modulate CCR2 function represents an attractive avenue into the development of new therapeutic agents that can be used to treat diseases such as inflammatory, autoimmune disease, cancer, and pain, that are associated with chemokine receptor expression or activity. Such compounds are provided herein.

l,5-anhydro-2,3-dideoxy-4-0-methyl-3- {[(2R,3aR,6aR)-3a-{[3-(trifluoromethyl)-7,8- dihydro- l,6-naphthyridin-6(5H)-yl]carbonyl}octahydropentalen-2-yl]amino}-D-erythro- pentitol
A solution of Example 79N (3.2 g, 9.0 mmol) in isopropyl acetate (80 mL) was cooled with ice bath and tributylamine (3.3 g, 20.7 mmol) was added dropwise, followed by the addition of isopropyl alcohol (1.6 ml, 20.7 mmol). Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (4.4 g, 20.7 mmol) was added. After 1 hour at room temperature, a solution of Exampole 79R (1.75 g, 13 mmol) in isopropyl acetate (10 mL) was added to the mixture at 1 °C. Then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours and partitioned between satureated aqueous NaHC(¾ (80 mL), water (50 mL) and EtOAc (400 mL). The aqueous phase was further extracted with EtOAc (200 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with saturated.aqeous NaHC03 solution, dried with Na2S04, filtered, concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (S1O2,
dichloromethane:MeOH = 20: 1) to give Example 79G as a mixture of diastereomers, which was then further purified by chiral SFC to yield title compound as the first eluent and white solid upon concentration, as well as Example 80 as the second eluent.

A novel, practical, and efficient synthesis of (−)-N-{2-[(R)-3-(6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-2-carbonyl)piperidino]ethyl}-4-fluorobenzamide monophosphate (YM758 monophosphate, (R)-1·H3PO4 (Figure 1) is described. The target molecule (R)-1 has a potent If current channel inhibitor. Medicinal chemistry synthetic routes were very long and suffered from extensive use of chlorinated solvents and silica-gel column chromatography. A number of steps in the medicinal chemistry route were also unattractive for large-scale synthesis due to some reasons for example the use of unstable intermediates.
An important objective of a new synthetic route was avoidance of such a use of unstable intermediate, and it was achieved by the discovery of an important 4,5-dihydrooxazole intermediate 19 and ring-opening N-alkylation of chiral amine with 19 under acidic condition. The new procedure does not require any purification by column chromatography for all steps.
The overall yield was significantly improved from 14% or 34% to 49% compared to that of the medicinal synthetic routes. This highly efficient process was successfully demonstrated at a pilot-scale operation, yielding 36.5 kg of (R)-1·H3PO4.

Trabectedin, also referred as ET-743 during its development, is a marine derived antitumoral agent discovered in the Carribean tunicate _Ecteinascidia turbinata_ and now produced synthetically. Trabectedin has a unique mechanism of action. It binds to the minor groove of DNA interfering with cell division and genetic transcription processes and DNA repair machinery.It is approved for use in Europe, Russia and South Korea for the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. It is also undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of breast, prostate, and paediatric sarcomas. The European Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have granted orphan drug status to trabectedin for soft tissue sarcomas and ovarian cancer.
Trabectedin (also known as ecteinascidin 743 or ET-743) is an anti-tumor drug. It is sold by Zeltia and Johnson and Johnson under the brand name Yondelis. It is approved for use in Europe, Russia and South Korea for the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma. It is also undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of breast, prostate, and paediatric sarcomas. The European Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have granted orphan drug status to trabectedin for soft tissue sarcomas and ovarian cancer.
Discovery and development
The ecteinascidins (herein abbreviated ETs) are exceedingly potent antitumor agents isolated from the marine tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata. Several ecteinascidins have been reported previously in the patent and scientific literature. See, for example U.S. Pat. No. 5,089,273, which describes novel compounds of matter extracted from the tropical marine invertebrate Ecteinascidia turbinata, and designated therein as ecteinascidins 729, 743, 745, 759A, 759B and 770. These compounds are useful as antibacterial and/or antitumor agents in mammals. U.S. Pat. No. 5,478,932 describes other novel ecteinascidins isolated from the Caribbean tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata, which provide in vivo antitumor activity against P388 lymphoma, B16 melanoma, M5076 ovarian sarcoma, Lewis lung carcinoma, and the LX- I human lung and MX- 1 human mammary carcinoma xenografts.
One of the ETs, ecteinascidin 743 (ET-743), is a tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid with considerable in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity in murine and human tumors, and potent antineoplastic activity against a variety of human tumor xenografts grown in athymic mice, including melanoma, ovarian and breast carcinoma.
ET-743 is a natural compound with the following structure:
ET-743 is also known with the generic name trabectedin and the trademark Yondelis®, and it is currently approved in Europe for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma. The clinical development of trabectedin continues in phase 11/ III clinical trials in breast, ovarian and prostate cancer. A clinical development program of ET-743 in cancer patients was started with phase I studies investigating 1- hour, 3-hour, 24-hour, and 72-hour intravenous infusion schedules and a 1 hour daily x 5 (dx5) schedule. Promising responses were observed in patients with sarcoma, breast and ovarian carcinoma.
Therefore this new drug is currently under intense investigation in several phase 11/ III clinical trials in cancer patients with a variety of neoplastic diseases. Further information regarding the dosage, schedules, and administration of ET-743 for the treatment of cancer in the human body, either given alone or in combination is provided in WO 00/69441 , WO 02/36135, WO 03/39571 , WO 2004/ 105761 , WO 2005/039584, WO 2005/049031 , WO 2005/049030, WO 2005/049029, WO 2006/046080, WO 2006/005602, and PCT/US07/98727, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
A review of ET-743, its chemistry, mechanism of action and preclinical and clinical development can be found in Kesteren, Ch.
Van et al., Anti-Cancer Drugs, 2003, 14 (7), 487-502: “ET-743 (trabectedin, ET-743): the development of an anticancer agent of marine origin”, and references therein.
During the past 30 years medical oncologists have focused to optimise the outcome of cancer patients and it is just now that the new technologies available are allowing to investigate polymorphisms, gene expression levels and gene mutations aimed to predict the impact of a given therapy in different groups of cancer patients to tailor chemotherapy. Representative examples include the relationship between the Thymidylate Synthase (TS) mRNA expression and the response and the survival with antifolates, beta tubulin III mRNA levels and response to tubulin interacting agents, PTEN gene methylation and resistance to CPT- I l and, STAT3 over expression and resistance to Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) interacting agents.
A molecular observation of potential clinical impact relates to the paradoxical relation between the efficiency of the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway and the cytotoxicity of ET-743. In fact, tumour cells that are efficient in this DNA repair pathway appear to be more sensitive to ET-743. This evidence is in contrast with the pattern noted with platin based therapeutic regimens which are highly dependent on the lack of activity of this repair pathway (ie. an increase in ERCCl expression has been associated to clinical resistance to platinum-based anti-cancer therapy).
There are evidences on the key role of NER pathways on the cytotoxicity of ET-743 in cell lines. ET-743 binds to G residues in the minor groove of DNA forming adducts that distort the DNA helix structure and they are recognised by NER mechanisms (Pourquier, P. et al., 2001 , Proceedings of the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting, Vol. 42, pp. 556. 92nd Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. New Orleans, LA, USA. March 24-28, 2001. ISSN: 0197-016X). Takebayasi et al. (Nature Medicine, 2001 , 7(8), 961-966) have proposed that the presence of these DNA adducts in transcribed genes, blocks the Transcription Coupled NER (TC-NER) system by stalling the cleavage intermediates and producing lethal Single Strand Breaks (SSBs). It is known from Grazziotin et al (Proc.Natl.Acad.Sic.USA, 104: 13062- 13067) that the DNA adducts formed by exposure to ET-743 are transformed into double strand DNA breaks.
The fact that NER mediates ET-743 ‘s cytotoxicity has also been found in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae by Grazziotin et al. (Biochemical Pharmacology, 2005, 70, 59-69) and in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by Herrero et al. (Cancer Res. 2006, 66(16), 8155-8162).
In addition, Bueren et al. (Proceedings AACR Annual Meeting 2007, Abstract no. 1965) have been shown that ET-743 induces double-strand breaks in the DNA in early S phase that are detected and repaired by the Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) pathway. In addition, Erba et al (Eur. J. Cancer, 2001 , 37(1), 97- 105) and Bueren et al (Proceedings AACR Annual Meeting 2007, Abstract no. 1965) have shown that inactivation/ mutations of genes related to the Double Strand Break detection such as DNA-PK, ATM and ATR and of genes related to Homologous Recombination Repair pathway, such as Fanconi Anemia genes, BRCAl , BRCA2 and RAD51 make cells more sensitive to trabectedin. Such unique finding is the opposite to the pattern with conventional DNA interacting agents, like in the case of microtubule poisons such as taxanes and vinorelbine.
Finally, pharmacogenomic studies prior have demonstrated that increased expression of the NER genes ERCCl and XPD in the tumor tissue does not impact the outcome of patients treated with
ET-743. However, the low expression of BRCAl in the tumor tissue is correlated with a better outcome in cancer patents treated with
ET-743. Further information can be found in WO 2006/005602, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
Three rare, autosomal recessive inherited human disorders are associated with impaired NER activity: xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne Syndrome (CS), and trichothiodystrophy (Bootsma et al. The Genetic Basis of Human Cancer. McGraw-Hill, 1998, 245- 274). XP patients exhibit extreme sensitivity to sunlight, resulting in a high incidence of skin cancers (Kraemer et al. Arch. Dermatol. 123, 241-250, and Arch. Dermatol. 130, 1018- 1021). About 20% of XP patients also develop neurologic abnormalities in addition to their skin problems. These clinical findings are associated with cellular defects, including hypersensitivity to killing and mutagenic effects of UV, and inability of XP cells to repair UV-induced DNA damage (van Steeg et al. MoI. Med. Today, 1999, 5, 86-94).
Seven different NER genes, which correct seven distinct genetic XP complementation groups (XPA-XPG), have been identified (Bootsma et al. The Genetic Basis of Human Cancer. McGraw-Hill, 1998, 245-274). The human gene responsible for XP group G was identified as ERCC5 (Mudgett et al. Genomics, 1990, 8, 623-633; O’Donovan et al. Nature, 1993, 363, 185- 188; and Nouspikel et al. Hum. MoI. Genet. 1994, 3, 963-967). The XPG gene codes for a structure-specific endonuclease that cleaves damaged DNA ~5 nt 3′ to the site of the lesion and is also required non-enzymatically for subsequent 5’ incision by the XPF/ ERCCl heterodimer during the NER process (Aboussekhra et al. Cell, 1995, 80, 859-868; Mu et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1996, 271 , 8285-8294; and Wakasugi et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1997, 272, 16030- 16034). There is also evidence suggesting that XPG is also involved in transcription-coupled repair of oxidative DNA lesions (Le Page et al. Cell, 101 , 159- 171).
Takebayashi et al. (Cancer Lett., 2001 , 174: 1 15- 125) have observed an increase in heterozygosity loss and microsatellite instability in a substantial percentage of samples of ovarian, lung and colon carcinoma. Le Moirvan et al, (Int.J. Cancer, 2006,1 19: 1732- 1735) have described the presence of polymorphisms in the XPG gene in sarcoma patients. It is also known from Takebayashi et al. (Proceedings of the American Association forCancer Research Annual Meeting, March, 2001 , Vol. 42, pp. 813.92nd Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer
Research. New Orleans, LA, USA. March 24-28, 2001) that cells deficient in the NER system are resistant to treatment with ET-743 (Zewail-Foote, M. et al., 2001 , Chemistry and Biology, 8: 1033- 1049 and Damia, G. et al., 2001 , Symposium AACR NCI EORTC) and that the antiproliferative effects of ET-743 require a functional XPG gene.
Since cancer is a leading cause of death in animals and humans, several efforts have been and are still being undertaken in order to obtain an antitumor therapy active and safe to be administered to patients suffering from a cancer. Accordingly, there is a need for providing additional antitumor therapies that are useful in the treatment of cancer.
Trabectedin is a tetrahydroisoquinoline, a novel marine-derived antitumor agent isolated from the colonial tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinate. The drug binds to the minor groove of the DNA, bending the DNA towards the major groove, blocking the activation of genes in a unique way via several pathways, including selective inhibition of the expression of key genes (including oncogenes) involved in cell growth and drug resistance, inhibition of genetic repair pathways and inhibition of cell cycle progression leading to p53-independent programmed cell death.
In July 2003, the European Committee of Proprietary Medicinal Products (CPMP) recommended against granting marketing authorization to trabectedin for soft tissue sarcoma. PharmaMar appealed the decision in September 2003. Later that year, the CPMP rejected the company’s appeal. In 2006, the company filed another regulatory application for this indication and, finally, in 2007, a positive opinion was received in the E.U. for the treatment of metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. First commercialization of the product in the E.U. took place in October 2007 in the U.K. and Germany.
The compound is also available in several other countries. In 2008, the compound was filed for approval in the U.S. and the E.U. for the treatment of relapsed advanced ovarian cancer in combination with liposomal doxorubicin, and in 2009 approval was received in both countries. Trabectedin is available in several European countries, including the U.K. and Germany. Also in 2009 the drug candidate was approved in Philippines for the ovarian cancer indication.
The compound had been in phase II development by Johnson & Johnson for the treatment of prostate cancer; however, no recent development has been reported for this research. PharmaMar is evaluating the compound in phase II trials for the treatment of breast cancer. Additional early clinical trials are ongoing at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to evaluate trabectedin for potential use in the treatment of advanced, persistent or recurrent uterine leiomyosarcomas and solid tumors.
In 2011, a regulatory application that had been filed in the U.S. seeking approval for the treatment of relapsed advanced disease in combination with liposomal doxorubicin was withdrawn by the company based on the FDA’s recommendation that an additional phase III study be conducted to obtain approval. In 2014, Janssen Research & Development, LLC submitted an NDA for trabectedin to the FDA for the treatment of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS), including liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma subtypes, who have received prior chemotherapy including an anthracycline.
Trabectedin was developed by PharmaMar, a subsidiary of Zeltia. The drug was being codeveloped and comarketed in partnership with Ortho Biotech, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson pursuant to an agreement signed in 2001. However, in 2008 the license agreement between the two companies was terminated.
The compound was granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma and for the treatment of ovarian cancer by the FDA and the EMEA. In 2011, orphan drug designation was granted in Japan for the treatment of malignant soft tissue tumor accompanied with chromosomal translocation. In 2009, the product was licensed to Taiho by PharmaMar in Japan for the treatment of cancer.
During the 1950s and 1960s, the National Cancer Institute carried out a wide ranging program of screening plant and marine organism material. As part of that program extract from the sea squirt Ecteinascidia turbinata was found to have anticancer activity in 1969.[1] Separation and characterisation of the active molecules had to wait many years for the development of sufficiently sensitive techniques, and the structure of one of them, Ecteinascidin 743, was determined by KL Rinehart at the University of Illinois in 1984.[2] Rinehart had collected his sea squirts by scuba diving in the reefs of the West Indies.[3]
Recently, the biosynthetic pathway responsible for producing the drug, has been determined to come from Candidatus Endoecteinascidia frumentensis, a microbial symbiont of the tunicate.[4] The Spanish company PharmaMar licensed the compound from the University of Illinois before 1994 and attempted to farm the sea squirt with limited success.[3]
Yields from the sea squirt are extremely low – it takes 1 tonne of animals to isolate 1 gram of trabectedin – and about 5 grams were believed to be needed for a clinical trial[5] so Rinehart asked the Harvard chemist E. J. Corey to search for a synthetic method of preparation. His group developed such a method and published it in 1996.[6] This was later followed by a simpler and more tractable method which was patented by Harvard and subsequently licensed to PharmaMar.[3] The current supply is based on a semisynthetic process developed by PharmaMar starting from Safracin B, an antibiotic obtained by fermentation of the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens.[7] PharmaMar have entered into an agreement with Johnson and Johnson to market the compound outside Europe.
Trabectedin was first dosed in humans in 1996.In 2007, the EMEA gave authorisation for the marketing of trabectedin, under the trade name Yondelis, for the treatment of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, after failure of anthracyclines and ifosfamide, or who are unsuited to receive these agents. The agency’s evaluating committee, the CHMP observed that trabectedin had not been evaluated in an adequately designed and analyzed randomized trial against current best care, and that the clinical efficacy data was mainly based on patients with liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. However the pivotal study did show a significant difference between two different trabectedin treatment regimens, and due to the rarity of the disease the CHMP considered that marketing authorisation could be granted under exceptional circumstances.[8] As part of the approval PharmaMar agreed to conduct a further trial to identify whether any specific chromosomal translocations could be used to predict responsiveness to trabectedin.[9] Trabectedin is also approved in South Korea[10] and Russia.
In 2008 the submission was announced of a registration dossier to the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and the FDA for Yondelis when administered in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil, Caelyx) for the treatment of women with relapsed ovarian cancer. In 2011, Johnson&Johnson voluntarily withdrew the submission in the United States following a request by the FDA for an additional Phase III study to be done in support of the submission.[11]
Trabectedin is also in phase II trials for prostate, breast and paediatric cancers.[12]
Structure
Trabectedin is composed of 3 tetrahydroisoquinoline moieties, 8 rings including one 10-membered heteocyclic ring containing a cysteine residue, and 7 chiral centers.
Biosynthesis
The biosynthesis of Trabectedin in Candidatus Endoecteinascidia frumentensis starts with a fatty acid loading onto the acyl-ligase domain of the EtuA3 module. A cysteine and glycine are then loaded as canonical NRPS amino acids. A tyrosine residue is modified by the enzymes EtuH, EtuM1, and EtuM2 to add a hydroxyl at the meta position of the phenol, and adding two methyl groups at the para-hydroxyl and the meta carbon position. This modified tyrosine reacts with the original substrate via a Pictet-Spangler reaction, where the amine group is converted to an imine by deprotonation, then attacks the free aldehyde to form a carbocation that is quenched by electrons from the methyl-phenol ring. This is done in the EtuA2 T-domain. This reaction is done a second time to yeid a dimer of modified tyrosine residues that have been further cyclized via Pictet-spangler reaction, yielding a bicyclic ring moiety. The EtuO and EtuF3 enzymes continue to post-translationally modify the molecule, adding several functional groups and making a sulfide bridge between the original cysteine residue and the beta-carbon of the first tyrosine to form ET-583, ET-597, ET-596, and ET-594 which have been previously isolated.[4] A third o-methylated tyrosine is added and cyclized via Pictet-Spangler to yield the final product.[4]
Synthesis
The total synthesis by E.J. Corey used this proposed biosynthesis to guide their synthetic strategy. The synthesis uses such reactions as the Mannich reaction, Pictet-Spengler reaction, the Curtius rearrangement, and chiral rhodium-based diphosphine–catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation. A separate synthetic process also involved the Ugi reaction to assist in the formation of the pentacyclic core. This reaction was unprecedented for using such a one pot multi-component reaction in the synthesis of such a complex molecule.

The previously reported synthesis of 139221 (scheme 13922101a) has been investigated in order to find a more efficient, reproducible and economical route to work in the mutikilogram scale. Herein it is reported a new process which is simpler and proceeds with an overall yield of 54% (the original process, 35%). The condensation of intermediate aminolactone (I) (scheme 13922101a, intermediate (VII)) with acid (XLII) (the acid derived from scheme 13922101a, intermediate ester (IX)) by means of 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolidinium hexafluorophosphate (CIP), and 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) in THF/dichloromethane gives the coupling product (XLIII), which is allylated with allyl bromide (XLIV) and Cs2CO3 in DMF yielding the allyl ether (XLV). The reduction of the lactone group of (XLV) with LiAlH2(OEt)2 in ethyl ether affords the lactol (XLVI), which is desilylated with KF in methanol to provide the phenolic compound (XLVII). The opening of the lactol ring of (XLVII) with simultaneous cyclization by means of Tf-OH in water/trifluoroethanol gives the hexacyclic intermediate (XLVIII), which is finally reductocondensed with KCN by means of LiAlH2(OEt)2 in THF to furnish the previously reported pentacyclic intermediate (XI) (scheme 13922101a, intermediate (XI)).

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Ecteinascidin 743
Ecteinascidins are a group of marine alkaloid having antineoplasticity which is isolated from the extracted products from the marine tunicate habitat of the Caribbean sea by a very small amount. Arming the ecteinascidins, Et 743 has a very strong antineoplastic activity, studies to put it into practical use as a carcinostatic agent are limited, and the phase II clinical tests are now being carried out in ten countries in Europe and America. It is known that Et 743 has an effect of depressing the proliferation of cancer cells by 10 to 100 times more potent than (IC50=0.1-1 nM) Toxol, Camptotesin, Adriamycin or Mitomycin which are currently used carcinostatic agents.
From the background mentioned above, various studies for synthesis were carried out; however, the complete synthesis was only reported by Prof. E. J. Corey of Harvard University in the U.S.A. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 9202-9203, reference document A).
In the process of the total synthesis disclosed in Document A (refer to page 9202), the main feature of the process is that Et 743 is synthesized from the analogous compound to the compound represented by general formula 1 of the present invention via intermediates 4 and 8. That is, according to said process, the C4 site of ring B (regarding the location of rings, and the sites of atoms comprising the 6 membered ring, refer to general formula 1), which composes a 6 membered ring, is formed from the intermediate 4 at the first step. Since the atom C4 composing the ring B of the 6-membered ring H, which lacks reactivity, is bonded, it becomes necessary to perform an oxidation reaction at the C4 site on the B ring. This oxidation reaction is not effective and is carried out under harsh conditions; therefore production on an industrial scale is difficult, and also the yield is not good. Further, since the atom N12 site of the synthesized intermediate is substituted by an alkyl group which lacks reactivity, in this case substituted by a methyl group, it is not suited to the synthesis of various compounds. Although total synthesis was reported, the supplying source of Et 743 still depends on the natural sample whose supply is very scarce. Therefore, the establishment of the method for a large scale production of Et 743 is desired and requires accomplishing an effective synthesizing process.
Since ET 743 is known as a medicine having high antineoplasticity, and phthalascidin induced from the intermediate product at the synthesis of Et 743 displays the same activity to ET 743, the establishment of an effective and mild method for synthesis of ET 743 and analogous compounds thereof is strongly desired.
Therefore, the subject of the present invention is to accomplish the effective method for total synthesis of Et 743, and further, to provide not only Et 743 but also analogous compounds.
To dissolve the subject, the present invention uses retrosynthetic analysis for easy synthesis. It will be possible to form a B ring by a ring forming reaction at the ortho position of phenol, which binds an A ring to inner molecular aldehyde in a compound generated by the 4-8 reaction. Further, the present invention contemplates that the generated compound by the 4-8 reaction can be synthesized based on the polycondensation reaction of general formula 4, and general formula 5 via a compound of general formula 3. Then the total synthesis of Et 743, which is the aimed compound, can be accomplished by way of the compounds represented by general formulae 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 and the specific structure of general formulae 1 and 2. This synthetic route provides for the analogous compounds of Et 743.





Mechanism of action
The biological mechanism of action is believed to involve the production of superoxide near the DNA strand, resulting in DNA backbone cleavage and cell apoptosis. The actual mechanism is not yet known, but is believed to proceed from reduction of molecular oxygen into superoxide via an unusual auto-redox reaction on a hydroxyquinone moiety of the compound following. There is also some speculation the compound becomes ‘activated’ into its reactive oxazolidine form.

Schematic of the unique and complex mode of action of trabectedin. The antitumor effects of trabectedin are due to multiple mechanisms involving DNA binding in the minor groove, interactions with DNA repair mechanisms, modulation of transcription regulation, and induction of microenvironment changes.

Abstract
This paper describes an alternative and simple procedure for the synthesis of Ibuprofen using Silica-Supported Preyssler Nanoparticles (H14[NaP5W30O110]/SiO2) (SPNPs), as an eco-friendly, inexpensive, and efficient catalyst. High yields, simplicity of operation, and easy work-up procedure are some advantages of this protocol. Silica-Supported Preyssler Nanoparticles (H14[NaP5W30O110]/SiO2) (SPNPs) offer the advantages of a higher hydrolytic and thermal stability. The salient features of Preyssler’s anion are availability, nontoxicity and reusability. We believe this methodology can find usefulness in organic synthesis.
Synthesis of Ibuprofen (6)
To a solution of ethyl-2-(4-isobutylphenyl) propanoate (1 g, 4.27 mmol) in 6 mL of CH3OH a solution of KOH was added (479 mg, 8.55 mmol) in 5 mL of H2O. The resultant solution was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. Methanol was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic extracts were washed with H2O, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give compound 6.

Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions.They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
