Axitinib (AG013736; trade name Inlyta) is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed by Pfizer. It has been shown to significantly inhibit growth of breast cancer in animal (xenograft) models^[2] and has shown partial responses in clinical trials with renal cell carcinoma (RCC)^[3] and several other tumour types.^[4] It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after showing a modest increase in progression-free survival,^[5] though there have been reports of fatal adverse effects.^[6]

Axitinib, a small-molecule indazole derivative chemically known as (E)-N-methyl-2-(3-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)-vinyl)-1H-indazol-6-ylthio)benzamide developed by Pfizer, was approved in January 2012 by the U.S. FDA with the trade name Inlyta. It selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptors for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma

On January 27, 2012, axitinib was approved with the trade name INLYTA for treatment of patients in the United States with advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of one prior systemic therapy.

It has received FDA (27 January 2012), EMA (13 September 2012), MHRA (3 September 2012) and TGA (26 July 2012) approval for use as a treatment for renal cell carcinoma.^{[11][12][13][14]}

A study published in 2015^[15] showed that axitinib effectively inhibits a mutated gene (BCR-ABL1[T315I]) that is common in chronic myeloid leukemias and adult acute lymphoblastic leukemias which have become resistant to other tyrosine kinase inhibitors likeimatinib. This is one of the first examples of a new indication for an existing drug being discovered by screening known drugs using a patient’s own cells.

The discovery and development of an efficient synthesis route to axinitib is reported. The first-generation route researched by Pfizer implemented two Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions as key steps. In this work, the development of Heck-type and C–S coupling reactions catalyzed by CuI is briefly described, using an economial and practical protocol. Aspects of this route, such as selecting optimal ligands, solvent, and other conditions, are discussed in detail. The scale-up experiment was carried out to provide more than 300 g of active pharmaceutical ingredients of axitinib in Form XLI with 99.9% purity in 39% yield. In short, we provide a new choice of synthesis route to axitinib, through two copper-catalyzed coupling reactions with good yield.

After stirring for 20 minutes, the mixture became homogeneous. To the clear solution was added 800.99 g of 10% cysteine-silica and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight.

The mixture was filtered through a medium sintered glass fritted funnel, and the cake was washed with a solution of 500 mL of DMA and 500 mL of THF. The cake was further washed with 2.0 L of THF and the filtrate was collected into a separate flask. The volatile parts in the latter filtrate were removed in vacuo and the residue was combined with the main filtrate. The combined filtrate was recharged back into the 12 L flask, followed by 800 g of 10% cysteine-silica. The flask was equipped with a mechanical stirrer and stirred over the weekend at room temperature. The mixture was then filtered through a medium sintered glass fritted funnel and the silica was washed with a mixture of solvents of 500 ml. of DMA and 500 ml_ of THF, followed by 3.0 L of THF. The volatile parts in the filtrate were removed in vacuo and the remaining solution was transferred to a 22 L 3-neck flask and treated with 12 L of water (added over a 20 minute period of time), a thick precipitate formed at this stage. After stirring overnight, the mixture was filtered and the cake was washed with 2.0 L of water and sucked dry.

The cake was charged to a 5 L 3-neck flask, followed by 1.6 L of THF and 160 mL of DMF. The flask was equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a reflux condenser and the mixture was heated at reflux for 8 hours. After cooling overnight, the mixture was filtered through sharkskin filter paper and sucked dry. The cake was charged to a 5 L 3-neck flask and 1.6 L of MeOH was added. The flask was equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a water condenser and the contents were heated at reflux for 6 hours. After cooling overnight, the mixture was filtered through sharkskin filter paper and sucked dry.

The cake was dissolved into 1.6 L of HOAc with the assistance of gentle heating in the water bath of a rotary evaporator. The solution was filtered through #3 filter paper and the total volume of the filtrate was reduced to ~500 mL in volume on the rotary evaporator at 60 °C/60 mmHg. At this stage, the bulk of the mixture remained a yellow solution and a small amount of precipitate formed. To the flask was charged 500 mL of xylenes (precipitate formed) and the total volume was reduced to -500 mL in volume on the rotary evaporator at 60°C/60 mmHg. The process was repeated two more times. After cooling, the mixture was filtered, the cake was washed with 500 mL of xylenes and sucked dry. The cake was transferred to a glass dish and further dried at 80°C/27 inch vacuum overnight.

The cake was off-white in color and weighed 108.38g. X-ray powder diffraction analysis indicated that a crystalline form was present, which was characterized as Form IV by a powder X- ray diffraction pattern comprising peaks at the following approximate diffraction angles (20): 8.9, 12.0, 14.6, 15.2, 15.7, 17.8, 19.2, 20.5, 21.6, 23.2, 24.2, 24.8, 26.2, and 27.5.

The manufacturing process of axitinib (1) involves two Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions, a Migita coupling and a Heck reaction. Optimization of both of these pivotal bond-formation steps is discussed as well as the approach to control impurities in axitinib. Essential to the control strategy was the optimization of the Heck reaction to minimize formation of impurities, in addition to the development of an efficient isolation of crude axitinib to purge impurities.
