Recent estimates place the number of people infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) worldwide at more than 170 million, including 3 million people in the United States. The infection rate is thought to be roughly 4 to 5 times that of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). While in some individuals, the natural immune response is able to overcome the virus, in the majority of cases, a chronic infection is established, leading to increased risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinomas. Infection with hepatitis C, therefore, presents a serious public health problem.The virus responsible for HCV infection has been identified as a positive-strand RNA virus belonging to the family Flaviviridae. The HCV genome encodes a polyprotein that during the viral lifecycle is cleaved into ten individual proteins, including both structural and non-structural proteins. The six non-structural proteins, denoted as NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B have been shown to be required for RNA replication. In particular, the NS5A protein appears to play a significant role in viral replication, as well as in modulation of the physiology of the host cell. Effects of NS5A on interferon signaling, regulation of cell growth and apoptosis have also been identified. (Macdonald et al., Journal of General Virology (2004), 85, 2485-2502.) Compounds which inhibit the function of the NS5A protein are expected to provide a useful approach to HCV therapy.Commonly-assigned U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 61/410,267, filed on Nov. 4, 2010, 61/444,046, filed on Feb. 17, 2011, and 61/492,267, filed on Jun. 1, 2011, and U.S. application Ser.

crystalline compound 1 is advantageously prepared directly from the crude product of the final step of the synthesis of compound 1, illustrated in the following scheme, without purification of the amorphous form.
As described in Example 3 below, ((S)-1-{(S)-2-[4-(4′-{[6-(2R,5S)-2,5-dimethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-pyridine-3-carbonyl}-amino]-2′-trifluoromethoxy-biphenyl-4-yl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-pyrrolidine-1-carbonyl}-2-methyl-propyl)-carbamic acid methyl ester (2) is reacted with methylaminoformyl chloride to provide a crude product, which is recovered by conventional extraction and drying. The reaction is typically performed in the presence of an excess of base, in an inert diluent such as dichloromethane. Next, methanol is added to the crude product followed by the slow addition of water in a ratio of methanol:water of about 2.5:1 to about 2.7:1 to form a crystallization mixture. Seeds of crystalline compound 1 are added about halfway through the water addition. The crystallization mixture is stirred for a period of several days to form crystalline compound 1. To increase purity, the product can be recrystallized by a similar process: the crystalline compound is dissolved in methanol, water and seeds are added, such that the ratio of methanol to water in the mixture is about 2.5:1, and the mixture is stirred for a period of at least 12 hours to provide crystalline compound 1, which is recovered conventionally

Background and Aims: TD-6450 is a next generation HCV NS5A inhibitor with superior in vitro potency against resistanceassociated variants (RAVs) encountered with first-generation NS5A inhibitors. This study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and antiviral activity of TD-6450 following multiple oral doses in HCV patients
Theravance Biopharma Announces Positive Results From Phase 1 Proof-of-Concept Study of TD-6450, an NS5A Inhibitor to Treat Hepatitis C
240 mg Achieved a Median Maximal Viral Load Decline of 4.9 Log10 IU/mL Following Three Daily Doses in Genotype 1a Patients
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 11/03/14 — Theravance Biopharma (NASDAQ: TBPH), through its U.S. operating subsidiary, Theravance Biopharma US, Inc., today announced positive results from the first three cohorts of Study 0110, a Phase 1 proof-of-concept study of TD-6450, a next-generation investigational NS5A inhibitor in development to treat patients with hepatitis C virus infection (HCV).
TD-6450 was evaluated in three cohorts of eight genotype 1a (GT-1a) patients each at doses of 60, 120 and 240 mg, administered once-daily for three days. TD-6450 demonstrated dose-dependent antiviral activity with median maximal declines of HCV RNA of 3.87, 4.63 and 4.89 log10 IU/mL for doses of 60, 120 and 240 mg, respectively.
In the 120 and 240 mg dose groups, three days of once-daily oral treatment resulted in levels of serum HCV RNA below the limit of detection (LOD) in 43% (3/7) and 57% (4/7) of patients treated with TD-6450, respectively. Three of the seven LOD patients went on to show no measurable virus at Day 14, and two of these patients still had no measurable virus at Day 28. At a two-month time point in a long-term follow-up study, the viral load in these two patients was measurable, but both remained more than three logs below their baseline.
None of the patients in the three dose groups had virologic breakthrough during their three-day treatment course, and 100% of the treated GT-1a patients in the study achieved at least a three log10 IU/mL reduction of HCV RNA. At the 120 and 240 mg doses, 71% (5/7) and 86% (6/7) of treated patients achieved at least a four log10 IU/mL reduction in HCV RNA, respectively.
All doses of TD-6450 were generally well tolerated after three doses and for the 28-day observation period. There were no serious adverse events and no patient discontinuations. There was no pattern of clinical adverse events or laboratory abnormalities related to treatment.
“We see diverse responses to direct antivirals in genotype 1 populations. Despite recent advances in HCV therapy, significant treatment challenges remain, including the required length of drug therapy. The robust activity of TD-6450 in genotype 1a patients suggests that this potentially best-in-class NS5A inhibitor could be a component of short and highly active combination therapy regimens,” said Eric Lawitz, MD, Vice President of Scientific and Research Development at the Texas Liver Institute and Clinical Professor of Medicine, The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, and one of the principal investigators on the Phase 1 study.
“TD-6450, created using the principles of multivalent design, has a heterodimeric structure distinct from other NS5A inhibitors. We believe this unique structure allows it to bind asymmetrically across the NS5A protein interface, providing high in vitro potency against clinically encountered resistance-associated variants. We believe the potency of TD-6450 against both wild type virus and these resistance-associated variants enables the robust antiviral activity that we reported today,” said Mathai Mammen, MD, Senior Vice President, Research and Development, Theravance Biopharma. “We look forward to analyzing the full set of results from this Phase 1 study and evaluating the next steps in the development strategy for TD-6450.”
About the Phase 1 Proof-of-Concept Study (Study 0110)
This Phase 1 study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of orally administered TD-6450 in non-cirrhotic, treatment-naive patients with GT-1, 2, or 3 chronic HCV infection. The study includes seven cohorts. The first three cohorts enrolled eight GT-1a patients each (7 active; 1 placebo) and tested once-daily oral doses of 60, 120 or 240 mg, respectively. Patients were dosed for three days and followed for up to 28 days for viral load quantification. The limit of detection for the viral load quantification assay is 15 IU/mL.
Safety evaluations include monitoring for adverse events, routine laboratory assessments, vital signs and 12-lead ECG tracings.
In cohorts 4 through 6, patients with GT-1b, GT-2 and GT-3 are dosed once-daily at 240 mg. An additional cohort (cohort 7) of GT-1a patients is dosed twice daily with 240 mg. Data generation and analysis of results for cohorts 4 through 7 is ongoing. An interim analysis of those cohorts showed antiviral activity for GT-1b similar to that for GT-1a, but minimal antiviral activity for GT-2 and GT-3.
The Company anticipates presenting further data on all cohorts at a future scientific conference.
About TD-6450
TD-6450 is an internally discovered multivalent NS5A inhibitor designed to have improved antiviral activity against GT-1 resistance-associated variants (RAV) resistant to first generation NS5A inhibitors. TD-6450’s heterodimeric structure permits an asymmetric binding mode to NS5A relative to structurally symmetric inhibitors. TD-6450 has demonstrated additive activity with other classes of anti-HCV agents in replicon assays, and no cross-resistance with RAVs that confer resistance to other anti-HCV agents. The Company believes that the antiviral activity of TD-6450, in combination with other antivirals, may help improve cure rates and/or reduce treatment times for appropriate patients.
TD-6450 was previously evaluated in a single-ascending dose and a 14-day multiple-ascending dose study in healthy subjects (study 0094). This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of TD-6450. Single doses (up to 500 mg) and multiple doses of TD-6450 (up to 240 mg daily for 14 days) were evaluated in healthy subjects. Following single and multiple doses, TD-6450 was generally well-tolerated and no subjects discontinued due to adverse events. Headache was the most commonly reported adverse event following multiple doses (n=4). TD-6450 pharmacokinetics were linear up to 240 mg following single and multiple doses and its long half-life supports once-daily dosing.
About Hepatitis C and the NS5A Inhibitor Class
Hepatitis C is an infectious disease of the liver. Worldwide, health experts estimate that 130 – 150 million people have chronic hepatitis C, with as many as four million of those cases in the United States. Hepatitis C, like all forms of hepatitis, can damage the liver. Of people infected, 55 to 85 percent will develop chronic infection, and 75 percent of those with chronic infection will develop chronic liver disease.
The hepatitis C non-structural 5A (NS5A) protein of HCV has emerged as an attractive drug target and inhibitors of NS5A have a central role in all-oral HCV therapy. The multi-functional NS5A protein is required for ribonucleic acid (RNA) replication and virion assembly, and a number of investigational and approved NS5A inhibitors have shown antiviral efficacy in HCV-infected patients.

Onychomycosis is a disease of the nail caused by yeast, dermatophytes, or other molds, and represents approximately 50% of all nail disorders. Toenail infection accounts for approximately 80% of onychomycosis incidence, while fingernails are affected in about 20% of the cases. Dermatophytes are the most frequent cause of nail plate invasion, particularly in toenail onychomycosis. Onychomycosis caused by a dermatophyte is termed Tinea unguium. Trichophyton rubrum is by far the most frequently isolated dermatophyte, followed by T. mentagrophytes. Distal subungual onychomycosis is the most common presentation of tinea unguium, with the main site of entry through the hyponychium (the thickened epidermis underneath the free distal end of a nail) progressing in time to involve the nail bed and the nail plate. Discoloration, onycholysis, and accumulation of subungual debris and nail plate dystrophy characterize the disease. The disease adversely affects the quality of life of its victims, with subject complaints ranging from unsightly nails and discomfort with footwear, to more serious complications including secondary bacterial infections.
Many methods are known for the treatment of fungal infections, including the oral and topical use of antibiotics (e.g., nystatin and amphotericin B), imidazole anti-fungal agents such as miconazole, clotrimazole, fluconazole, econazole and sulconazole, and non-imidazole fungal agents such as the allylamine derivatives terbinafme and naftifϊne, and the benzylamine butenafine. However, onychomycosis has proven to be resistant to most treatments. Nail fungal infections reside in an area difficult to access by conventional topical treatment and anti-fungal drugs cannot readily penetrate the nail plate to reach the infection sites under the nail. Therefore, onychomycosis has traditionally been treated by oral administration of anti-fungal drugs; however, clearly this is undesirable due to the potential for side effects of such drugs, in particular those caused by the more potent anti-fungal drugs such as itraconazole and ketoconazole. An alternative method of treatment of onychomycosis is by removal of the nail before treating with a topically active anti-fungal agent; such a method of treatment is equally undesirable. Systemic antimycotic agents require prolonged use and have the potential for significant side effects. Topical agents have usually been of little benefit, primarily because of poor penetration of the anti-fungal agents into and through the nail mass.

Reduction of 2-bromo-5-chlorobenzoic acid with BH3/THF in THF gives 2-bromo-5-chlorobenzyl alcohol , which is protected as the methoxymethyl derivative by treatment with MOM-Cl in the presence of DIEA in CH2Cl2. Metalation and boronylation of aryl bromide either with t-BuLi or BuLi (1,2,3,4) and (i-PrO)3B (4) or B(OMe)3 in THF affords the title compound .
Alternatively, reaction of 3-chlorobenzaldehyde with p-toluenesulfonylhydrazide in MeOH provides tosyl hydrazone which undergoes thermal decomposition in the presence of BBr3 and catalytic FeCl3 in refluxing CH2Cl2, followed by heating with aqueous NaOH to produce the title oxaborole compound .

EXAMPLES Example 1 : Preparation of 5-chloro-l-hydroxy-3H-2,l-benzoxaborole (1)
Step 1 : Preparation of (2-bromo-5-chloro-phenyl)methanol (A)
A solution of borane-tetrahydrofuran complex in THF (0.15 L, 1.5 eq) was added dropwise to a solution of 2-bromo-5-chlorobenzoic acid (24 g) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (0.24 L) at 0°C and under argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h, before being slowly poured onto 0.10 L of a 2N aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride at 0°C. The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes and the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers were washed with a IN aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and then water. After drying over sodium sulfate, filtration and concentration under reduced pressure, the crude product was purified by column chromatography; 23.2 g; M.p. 79-80 °C.
Step 2: Preparation of l-bromo-4-chloro-2-(methoxymethoxymethyl)benzene (B)
(2-bromo-5-chloro-phenyl)methanol (A, 12 g) was dissolved in dichloromethane (0.35 mL) and cooled to 0 °C. Under argon atmosphere, diisopropylethylamine (14 mL, 1.5 eq) and chloromethyl methyl ether (5.0 mL, 1.2 eq) were added. After 1 night of stirring at room temperature, the crude reaction mixture was washed with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. Purification by column chromatography afforded 10.5 g of l-bromo-4-chloro-2- (methoxymethoxymethyl)benzene (B) as an oil.
Step 3: Preparation of 5-chloro-l-hydroxy-3H-2,l-benzoxaborole (1)
To a solution of (B) (6.0 g) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (120 mL) at -78°C was added dropwise a solution of butyllithium in hexane (15.6 mL, 1.1 eq). To the resulting yellow- brown solution trimethyl borate (2.5 mL, 1.0 eq) was injected in one portion and the cooling bath was removed. The mixture was warmed gradually for 30 minutes. After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, 8.0 ml of a 6N aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride were added and the reaction mixture was left stirring overnight at room temperature. Evaporation of the volatiles gave a residue which was taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with water, brine, dried over sodium sulfate and then evaporated. The crude product was crystallized from ethyl acetate to give 1.4 g of 5-chloro-l-hydroxy-3H-2,l-benzoxaborole (1) as a white powder. Purification of the filtrate by column chromatography afforded 1.2 g more of 1. M.p. 147- 149 °C.

In phase 3 for treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis……Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder caused by inflammatory cell infiltration into the dermis and epidermis, and is accompanied by keratinocyte hyperproliferation. Once triggered, a strong T-cell response is mounted, and a cascade of cytokine and chemokine production is induced.
Down-regulation of certain cytokines and chemokines is considered to be a good approach to treatment, and indeed, the biologics targeting TNF-α demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.However, biologics have intrinsic challenges, such as limited administration route, side effects, quality control and production cost.
Small molecule approaches to treat psoriasis include systemic or topical steroids, cyclosporine, psoralen plus UVA (PUVA), retinoids, methotrexete, and vitamin D3 analogs.Atopic dermatitis is an allergic skin disorder, which is typically treated with topical steroids, antihistamines, and calcineurin inhibitors.
However, there is still a need for new treatment with improved safety profile. Recently phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors have been in development for such skin diseases. CC-10004 is in development as an oral treatment for psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. AWD-12-281 was, until recently, in development for the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis. In addition, roflumilast is under Phase 1 development for both diseases.

GSK 2251052 • $38.5M over the 1st two years; up to $94M……..http://www.idsociety.org/uploadedFiles/IDSA/Policy_and_Advocacy/Current_Topics_and_Issues/Advancing_Product_Research_and_Development/Bad_Bugs_No_Drugs/Press_Releases/FIS%20Slides.pdf

Originally came from Anacor about ten years ago, then was picked up by GlaxoSmithKline, and it’s an oxaborole heterocycle that inhibits leucyl tRNA synthetase
GlaxoSmithKline recently announced a contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development
Authority (BARDA), a US government preparedness organization , The award guarantees GSK $38.5 million over 2 years towards development of GSK2251052, a molecule co-developed with Anacor Pharma a few years back, as a counter-bioterrorism agent. The full funding amount may later increase to $94 million, pending BARDA’s future option.
The goal here is to develop “GSK ‘052”, as it’s nicknamed among med-chemists, into a new antibiotic against especially vicious and virulent Gram negative bacteria, such as the classic foes plague (Yersinia pestis) or anthrax (Bacillus anthracis).
Look closely at GSK’052 (shown above): that’s a boron heterocycle there! Anacor, a company specializing in boron based lead compounds, first partnered with GSK in 2007 to develop novel benzoxaborole scaffolds. This isn’t the first company to try the boron approach to target proteins; Myogenics (which, after several acquisitions, became Millennium Pharma) first synthesizedbortezomib, a boronic acid peptide, in 1995.


Stephen Benkovic (a former Anacor scientific board member) and coworkers at Penn State first discovered Anacor’s early boron lead molecules in 2001, with a screening assay. The molecules bust bacteria by inhibiting leucyl-tRNA synthetase, an enzyme that helps bacterial cells to correctly tag tRNA with the amino acid leucine. Compounds with cyclic boronic acids “stick” to one end of the tRNA, rendering the tRNA unable to cycle through the enzyme’s editing domain. As a result, mislabeled tRNAs pile up, eventually killing the bacterial cell.
Inhibition of synthetase function turns out to be a useful mechanism to conquer all sorts of diseases. Similar benzoxaborozoles to GSK ‘052 show activity against sleeping sickness (see Trypanosoma post by fellow Haystack contributor Aaron Rowe), malaria, and various fungi.
Boron-containing molecules such as benzoxaboroles that are useful as antimicrobials have been described previously, see e.g. “Benzoxaboroles – Old compounds with new applications” Adamczyk-Wozniak, A. et al., Journal of Organometallic Chemistry Volume 694, Issue 22, 15 October 2009, Pages 3533-3541 , and U.S. Pat. Pubs. US20060234981 and US20070155699. Generally speaking, a benzoxaborole has the following structure and substituent numbering system:
Certain benzoxaboroles which are monosubstituted at the 3-, 6-, or 7-position, or disubstituted at the 3-/6- or 3-/7- positions are surprisingly effective antibacterials, and they have been found to bind to the editing domain of LeuRS in association with tRNALeu Such compounds have been described in US7, 816,344. Using combinations of certain substituted benzoxaboroles with norvaline and/or other amino acid analogs and their salts to: (a) reduce the rate of resistance that develops; and/or (b) decrease the frequency of resistance that develops; and/or (c) suppress the emergence of resistance, in bacteria exposed to compounds

Anacor Pharmaceuticals is out to change that. The Palo Alto, Calif.-based biotechnology company is developing a family of boron-containing small-molecule drugs. And with the assistance of Naeja Pharmaceutical, a Canadian contract research organization, Anacor has licensed one of those molecules to GlaxoSmithKline and taken another one into Phase III clinical trials.
Anacor was founded in 2002 to develop technology created by Lucy Shapiro, a Stanford University bacterial geneticist, and Stephen J. Benkovic, a Pennsylvania State University organic chemist. Through a long-standing scientific collaboration, the two researchers had discovered boron-containing compounds that inhibited specific bacterial targets.
Lucy Shapiro is a Professor in the Department of Developmental Biology at Stanford University School of Medicine where she holds the Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Chair in Cancer Research and is the Director of the Beckman Center for Molecular and Genetic Medicine. She is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and is a member of the Board of Directors of Pacific Biosciences, Inc. She founded the anti-infectives discovery company, Anacor Pharmaceuticals, and is a member of the Anacor Board of Directors. Professor Shapiro has been the recipient of multiple honors, including: election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the US National Academy of Sciences, the US Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Microbiology, and the American Philosophical Society. She was awarded the FASEB Excellence in Science Award, the 2005 Selman Waksman Award from the National Academy of Sciences, the Canadian International 2009 Gairdner Award, the 2009 John Scott Award, the 2010 Abbott Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2012 Horwitz Prize and President Obama awarded her the National Medal of Science in 2012. Her studies of the control of the bacterial cell cycle and the establishment of cell fate has yielded valuable paradigms for understanding the bacterial cell as an integrated system in which the transcriptional circuitry is interwoven with the three-dimensional deployment of key regulatory and morphological proteins, adding a spatial dimension to the systems biology of regulatory networks.

Naeja was a three-year-old contract research firm run by Ronald Micetich and his son Christopher Micetich. Based in Edmonton, Alberta, the firm is staffed by chemists and biologists from a variety of nations who have found Canada welcoming to highly educated immigrants.
GSK. Last July, the British firm paid Anacor $15 million and exercised its option to take over development of AN3365. David J. Payne, vice president of GSK’s antibacterial drug discovery unit, lauded the compound, now renamed GSK2251052, as having “the potential to be the first new-class antibacterial to treat serious hospital gram-negative infections in 30 years.” GSK chemists have since developed a stereospecific synthesis for commercial-scale production

Dr. R. G. Micetich’s research career began in 1963 as a Research Scientist with R & L Molecular Research Ltd. (established by Dr. R. U. Lemieux). This company later became Raylo Chemicals Ltd. Dr. Micetich served as the Research Director (Pharmaceutical Research) of Raylo. During the period from 1963 to 1980 Dr. Micetich’s group was involved in pharmaceutical research and process development work in antibiotics and in NSAI’s (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents). This work produced a drug “Mofezolac” – a NSAI which is now marketed in Japan by the Japanese company “Yoshitomi”. Market ~ U.S. $60 million.
In 1980, Dr. R. G. Micetich joined the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Alberta as an Adjunct Professor working on projects for international big Pharma companies. The work with Taiho Pharmaceutical Company in Japan has produced another drug – a beta-lactamase inhibitor – “TAZOBACTAM” which is now marketed worldwide. This drug now produces annual sales of over US$ 1 billion.
In 1987, Dr. Micetich established a joint venture research company with Taiho, Japan called SynPhar. SynPhar had numerous patents worldwide in various therapeutic areas and many compounds and classes of compounds at various stages of development up to late preclinical.
In view of the significant growth opportunities for SynPhar and in response to the changing international market place for pharmaceuticals, Dr. Micetich acquired and transferred all the assets including intellectual property, equipment and fixtures from SynPhar to NAEJA Pharmaceutical Inc. in 1999. NAEJA is a private Albertan company, founded by the Micetich family which from an initial staff in August 1999 of 40, has grown to 130 and is still growing. NAEJA is a completely self-supporting private company with no venture capital, nor private, nor government funding. The majority of NAEJA employees hold Ph.D.’s. NAEJA has collaborative agreements with pharmaceutical companies around the world. Based on its own intellectual property, NAEJA also has a number of co-development agreements with biotech companies worldwide. Dr. Micetich laid the seeds of foundation for NAEJA and the company continues after his passing, building his legacy.
Dr. R. G. Micetich boasted over 100 publications in well know scientific journals and composed over 100 patents taken out in many countries…………..http://www.bioalberta.com/ron-micetich

2-[(Dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol
Tramadol (marketed as Ultram, and as generics) is an opioid pain medication used to treat moderate to moderately severepain.[1] When taken as an immediate-release oral formulation, the onset of pain relief usually occurs within about an hour.[5]It has two different mechanisms. First, it binds to the μ-opioid receptor. Second, it inhibits the reuptake of serotonin andnorepinephrine.[6][7]
Serious side effects may include seizures, increased risk of serotonin syndrome, decreased alertness, and drug addiction. Common side effects include: constipation, itchiness and nausea, among others. A change in dosage may be recommended in those with kidney or liver problems. Its use is not recommended in women who are breastfeeding or those who are at risk of suicide.[1]
Tramadol is marketed as a racemic mixture of both R– and S–stereoisomers.[2] This is because the two isomers complement each other’s analgesic activity.[2] It is often combined with paracetamol (acetaminophen) as this is known to improve the efficacy of tramadol in relieving pain.[2] Tramadol is metabolised to O-desmethyltramadol, which is a more potent opioid.[8] It is of the benzenoid class.
Tramadol was launched and marketed as Tramal by the German pharmaceutical company Grünenthal GmbH in 1977 inWest Germany, and 20 years later it was launched in countries such as the UK, U.S., and Australia.[7]
Developed (from 1962) by the German company Grünenthal, and is marketed through much of the world under various trade names, including Acugersic (Malaysia), Mabron (some Eastern European countries as well as parts of the Middle and Far East), Ultram (USA), Zaldiar (France and much of Europe, as well as Russia) and Zydol (UK and Ireland).
CONFUSION ON CIS TRANS
There is some confusion within the literature as to what should be called cis and what should be called trans. For purposes of this disclosure, what is referred to herein as the trans form of Tramadol includes the R,R and S,S isomers as shown by the following two structures:
The cis form of Tramadol, as that phrase is used herein, includes the S,R and the R,S isomers which are shown by the following two structures:
Tramadol is marketed as a racemic mixture of both R and S stereoisomers. It is a μ-opioid receptor agonist, like morphine, but much less active. It inhibits reuptake of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine, suggesting that it lifts mood and thereby may dull the brain’s perception of pain.

In the body, tramadol undergoes demethylation to several metabolites by a Cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP2D6) in the liver, the most important of these products being O-desmethyltramadol. O-desmethyltramadol has a much stronger (200x) affinity for the μ-opioid receptor than tramadol, so in effect tramadol is a prodrug.

Not everyone’s liver works identically. Around 6% of the Caucasian population has a reduced CYP2D6 activity (hence reducing metabolism), so there is a reduced analgesic effect with Tramadol. These people require a dose increase of 30% to get the same pain relief as the norm. A case has been reported of a patient where, following an overdose, their ultrarapid tramadol metabolism led to excessive norepinephrine levels, with near-fatal consequences.
However, it has recently been discovered at relatively high concentrations in the roots of the African peach or pin cushion tree (Nauclea latifolia), which has a long tradition as a folk remedy. As usual, Nature got there first.

In the area of “legal highs”, a disturbing development is a drug blend known as “Krypton”. This isn’t the noble gas, but a mixture of O-desmethyltramadol withKratom (Mitragyna speciosa, a medicinal plant that originates in SE Asia, seemingly the local equivalent of khat), which contains an alkaloid mitragynine which is also a μ-receptor agonist. Several fatalities have been linked with its use, notably in Sweden.
SYNTHESIS

(1R,2R)-Tramadol (1S,2S)-Tramadol

(1R,2S)-Tramadol (1S,2R)-Tramadol
The chemical synthesis of tramadol is described in the literature.[35] Tramadol [2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol] has two stereogenic centers at thecyclohexane ring. Thus, 2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)cyclohexanol may exist in four different configurational forms:
- (1R,2R)-isomer
- (1S,2S)-isomer
- (1R,2S)-isomer
- (1S,2R)-isomer
The synthetic pathway leads to the racemate (1:1 mixture) of (1R,2R)-isomer and the (1S,2S)-isomer as the main products. Minor amounts of the racemic mixture of the (1R,2S)-isomer and the (1S,2R)-isomer are formed as well. The isolation of the (1R,2R)-isomer and the (1S,2S)-isomer from the diastereomeric minor racemate [(1R,2S)-isomer and (1S,2R)-isomer] is realized by the recrystallization of the hydrochlorides. The drug tramadol is a racemate of the hydrochlorides of the (1R,2R)-(+)- and the (1S,2S)-(–)-enantiomers. The resolution of the racemate [(1R,2R)-(+)-isomer / (1S,2S)-(–)-isomer] was described[36] employing (R)-(–)- or (S)-(+)-mandelic acid. This process does not find industrial application, since tramadol is used as a racemate, despite known different physiological effects[37] of the (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-isomers, because the racemate showed higher analgesic activity than either enantiomer in animals[38] and in humans.[39]
Synthesised by chemists at the German company Grünenthal and brought to the market in 1977. It can readily be made by nucleophilic attack of a Grignard or RLi species upon a carbonyl group.

Example 1
To produce the Tramadol base hydrate, a reaction vessel is charged successively with 69 Kg of Magnesium, 400 1 of dry Tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 15 1 of 3- bromoanisole.
With careful heating, the reactor temperature is brought up to ca. 30°C. The Grignard initiates at this point and exotherms to approximately 50°C. A further 5 1 of bromoanisole are added which maintains reflux. 400 1 of THF are then added before the remainder of the bromoanisole. This addition of the remainder of the bromoanisole is carried out slowly so as to sustain a gentle reflux. The reaction is refluxed after complete addition of 3-bromoanisole. The vessel is cooled and Mannich base is added. When addition is complete, the vessel is reheated to reflux for 30 minutes to ensure complete reaction. After cooling to ca. 10°C, 2,300 1 of water are added to quench the reaction. When complete, part of the solvents are distilled under vacuum. Approximately 260 1 of concentrated HC1 is added at a low temperature until a pH of 0 – 1 is reached. This aqueous phase is extracted with toluene. The toluene phases are discarded and ethyl acetate is added to the aqueous phase. 30% Ammonia solution is then charged to reach pH 9 – 10 and the phases are separated. The aqueous phases are extracted again with ethyl acetate and finally all ethyl acetate layers are combined and washed twice with water. Ethyl acetate is then distilled from the reaction solution at atmospheric pressure. Process water is added and the solution cooled to 20°C and seeded. After crystallisation, the vessel is cooled to -5 to 0°C and stirred for one hour.
The product is centrifuged at this temperature and washed with cold ethyl acetate 5 x 50 1. Approximately 310 – 360 Kg of moist cis-Tramadol base hydrate are obtained.
Purification
A reactor vessel is charged successively with cis-Tramadol base hydrate (crude) 200 Kg and ethyl acetate 300 1 and the contents of the vessel heated to 50°C until all solids are in solution. The vessel is then cooled to -5 to 0°C and the product crystallises. Stirring is continued for two hours and the product is then centrifuged and washed with cold ethyl acetate, 2 x 25 1. Approximately 165 – 175 Kg (moist) of cis(+/-) Tramadol base hydrate are obtained from this procedure.
The overall process produced high yields of cis-Tramadol with a trans isomer content of less than 0.03%. Analytical data of the base hydrate of cis-Tramadol
Melting point: 79 – 80°C (in comparison cis-Tramadol base anhydrous is an oil). Water content (KF) : 6.52% (= monohydrate) IR-spectrum of the base hydrate of cis-Tramadol (see Fig. 1).
IR-spectrum (=cis-Tramadol base anhydrous, see Fig. 2).
The invention provides a unique process in which a base hydrate of cis-Tramadol is selectively crystallised without impurities. The base hydrate is processed to readily form cis-Tramadol hydrochloride. The process is substantially simpler than known processes and does not require the use of potentially toxic solvents. Thus the process is environmentally friendly.
The base hydrate of cis-Tramadol prepared may also be used in various formulations.
The base hydrate of cis-Tramadol may be formulated in the form of a solid with a slow release profile. For example, slow release pellets may be prepared by coating a suitable core material with a coating, for example, of ethylcellulose/schellack solution (4:1) and suitable pharmaceutical excipients. The pellets have typical average diameter of 0.6 to 1.6 mm. The pellets may be readily converted into gelatine capsules or pressed into tablet form using well-known techniques.
Alternatively the base hydrate of cis-Tramadol may be formulated into effervescent tablets by forming granules of the base hydrate with acidity/taste modifiers and a suitable effervescent base such as sodium hydrogen carbonate /anhydrous sodium carbonate (12:1). The ingredients are typically blended in a mixer /granulator and heated until granulation occurs. The resulting granules may be pressed into tablet form, on cooling. Of particular interest is the use of the base hydrate of cis-Tramadol in a form for parenteral use/injectables. The base hydrate is typically dissolved in water together with suitable excipients (as necessary). The solution is filtered through a membrane to remove solid fibres or particles. The filtered solution may then be filled into ampoules, typically containing 10.0 mg of the active compound. Usually the formulation is prepared for intramuscular injection.

Various processes for the synthesis of tramadol hydrochloride have been described in the prior art. For example, US 3 652 589 and British patent specification no. 992 399 describe the preparation of tramadol hydrochloride. In this method, Grignard reaction of 2-dimethylaminomethyl cyclohexanone (Mannich base) with metabromo-anisole gives an oily mixture of tramadol and the corresponding cis isomer, along with Grignard impurities. This oily reaction mixture is subjected to high vacuum distillation at high temperature to give both the geometric isomers of the product base as an oil. This oil, on acidification with hydrogen chloride gas, furnishes insufficiently pure tramadol hydrochloride as a solid. This must then be purified, by using a halogenated solvent and 1,4-dioxane, to give sufficiently pure tramadol hydrochloride. The main drawback of this process is the use of large quantities of 1,4-dioxane and the need for multiple crystallizations to get sufficiently pure trans isomer hydrochloride (Scheme – 1).
-
[0004]
The use of dioxane for the separation of tramadol hydrochloride from the corresponding cis isomer has many disadvantages, such as safety hazards by potentially forming explosive peroxides, and it is also a category 1 carcinogen (Kirk and Othmer, 3rd edition, 17, 48). Toxicological studies of dioxane show side effects such as CNS depression, and necrosis of the liver and kidneys. Furthermore, the content of dioxane in the final tramadol hydrochloride has been strictly limited; for example, the German Drug Codex (Deutscher Arzneimittel Codex, DAC (1991)) restricts the level of dioxane in tramadol hydrochloride to 0.5 parts per million (ppm).
-
In another process, disclosed in US patent specification no. 5 414 129, the purification and separation of tramadol hydrochloride is undertaken from a reaction mixture containing the trans and cis isomers, and Grignard reaction side products, in which the reaction mixture is diluted in isopropyl alcohol and acidified with gaseous hydrogen chloride to yield (trans) tramadol hydrochloride (97.8%) and its cis isomer (2.2%), which is itself crystallized twice with isopropyl alcohol to give pure (trans) tramadol hydrochloride (Scheme – 2). This process relies on the use of multiple solvents to separate the isomers (ie butylacetate, 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, primary amyl alcohol mixture, 1-hexanol, cyclohexanol, 1-octanol, 2-ethylhexanol and anisole). The main drawback of this process is therefore in using high boiling solvents; furthermore, the yields of tramadol hydrochloride are still relatively low and the yield of the corresponding cis hydrochloride is relatively high in most cases.
-
PCT patent specification no. WO 99/03820 describes a method of preparation of tramadol (base) monohydrate, which involves the reaction of Mannich base with metabromo-anisole (Grignard reaction) to furnish a mixture of tramadol base with its corresponding cis isomer and Grignard impurities. This, on treatment with an equimolar quantity of water and cooling to 0 to -5°C, gives a mixture of tramadol (base) monohydrate with the corresponding cis isomer (crude). It is further purified with ethyl acetate to furnish pure (trans) tramadol (base) monohydrate, which is again treated with hydrochloric acid in the presence of a suitable solvent to give its hydrochloride salt (Scheme – 2). The drawback of this method is that, to get pure (trans) tramadol hydrochloride, first is prepared pure (trans) tramadol (base) monohydrate, involving a two-step process, and this is then converted to its hydrochloride salt. The overall yield is low because of the multiple steps and tedious process involved.
-
More recently, a process for the separation of tramadol hydrochloride from a mixture with its cis isomer, using an electrophilic reagent, has been described in US patent specification no. 5 874 620. The mixture of tramadol hydrochloride with the corresponding cis isomer is reacted with an electrophilic reagent, such as acetic anhydride, thionyl chloride or sodium azide, using an appropriate solvent (dimethylformamide or chlorobenzene) to furnish a mixture of tramadol hydrochloride (93.3 to 98.6%) with the corresponding cis isomer (1.4 to 6.66%), (Scheme – 3). The product thus obtained is further purified in isopropyl alcohol to give pure (trans) tramadol hydrochloride. However, the drawback of this process is that a mixture of tramadol base with its cis isomer is first converted into the hydrochloride salts, and this is further reacted with toxic, hazardous and expensive electrophilic reagents to get semi-pure (trans) tramadol hydrochloride. The content of the cis isomer is sufficiently high to require further purification, and this therefore results in a lower overall yield.
-
Therefore, all the known methods require potentially toxic solvents and/or reagents, and multiple steps to produce the desired quality and quantity of tramadol hydrochloride. By contrast, the present invention requires a single step process (or only two steps when tramadol hydrochloride is made via the tramadol (base) monohydrate route) using a natural solvent (ie water) in the absence of carcinogenic solvents (such as the category 1 carcinogen, 1,4-dioxane) to produce pure tramadol hydrochloride, so it is ‘ecofriendly’ and easily commercialized to plant scale without any difficulties.

EXAMPLE 8 Hydrochloride Formed without Improvement of the Trans:Cis Ratio
Whether a recrystallization step improves the trans:cis ratio of Tramadol depends upon the solvent composition from which the recrystallization is performed. When the hydrochloride form of Tramadol is produced and then crystallized in the presence of a solvent with a high toluene concentration, the ratio of trans:cis remains essentially unchanged. This is in contrast to the recrystallization from a solvent which has a high acetonitrile concentration as was the case in Examples 5-7.
A 21 mL solution of 1.8 g of HCl gas (bubbled at 5° C.) in acetonitrile (yielding a 2.0 M solution), was added to 10.2 g of Grignard product C (90/10 of trans/cis) in 30 mL of toluene and stirred mechanically for 3 hours. The mixture was filtered and washed with toluene. Drying in vacuo yielded 11.2 g (96% recovery). The resulting hydrochloride had a trans/cis ratio of 92:8, essentially the same trans:cis ratio as did the 10.2 g of Grignard product C.
Recrystallization from 90 mL of acetonitrile yielded 8.83 g, which was 96.6/3.4 of trans/cis by HPLC. Of this, 8.6 g was recrystallized from 75 mL of acetonitrile to give 7.44 g, trans/cis ratio of 99.6/0.4.
This example shows that the formation of the hydrochloride in the presence of a relatively large amount of toluene (here about 60%) and crystallization from toluene-acetonitrile does not improve the trans:cis ratio. As the percentage of toluene present in the mixture of toluene and acetonitrile in a crystallization step is decreased, the trans:cis ratio of the recovered product will increase. Steps in which the hydrochloride is recrystallized from acetonitrile do yield an improved trans:cis ratio.

The synthesis of Tramadol is described in U.S. Patent No. 3,652,589 and in British Patent No. 992,399. The synthesis of Tramadol consists of a Grignard reaction between 2-dimethylaminomethylcyclohexanone and 3-methoxyphenyl magnesium bromide (Equation 1). From the reaction scheme, it is clear that both isomers (RR,SS) (Structure 1) and (RS, SR) (Structure 2) are obtained in variable ratios, depending on the reaction conditions.
The original patents assigned to Gruenenthal GmbH describe the isolation of the (RR,SS) isomer, as follows:
The complex mixture of products containing both isomers of Tramadol obtained from the Grignard reaction is distilled under reduced pressure. The isomers are distilled together at 138-140°C (0.6 mm Hg). The distillate is dissolved in ether and is reacted with gaseous HCl. The resulting mixture of both isomers of Tramadol is precipitated as hydrochlorides and filtered. The resulting mixture contains about 20% of the (RS,SR) isomer. The isomer mixture is then refluxed twice with five volumes of moist dioxane, and filtered. The cake obtained consists of pure (RR,SS) isomer. The residual solution consists of “a mixture of about 20-30% of the cis (i.e. RS,SR), which cannot be further separated by boiling dioxane” [U.S. Patent 3,652,589, Example 2].
Dioxane, used in large quantities in this process, possesses many undesirable properties. It has recently been listed as a Category I carcinogen by OSHA [Kirk & Othmer, 3rd Ed., Vol. 9, p. 386], and it is known to cause CNS depression and liver necrosis [ibid., Vol. 13, p. 267]; in addition, it tends to form hazardous peroxides [ibid., Vol 17, p. 48]. As a result, the concentration of dioxane in the final product has been strictly limited to several ppb’s, and the DAC (1991) restricted the level of dioxane in Tramadol to 0.5 ppm.
A different separation method, described in Israeli Specification No. 103096, takes advantage of the fact that the precipitation of the (RR,SS) isomer of Tramadol from its solution in medium chained alcohols (C4-C8) occurs faster than the precipitation of the (RS,SR) isomer, which tends to separate later. The main disadvantage of this method is, that the time interval between the end of separation of the (RR,SS) isomer and the beginning of the (RS,SR) isomer separation is variable, and seems to depend sharply on the composition of the crude mixture. Therefore, variations in the yield and the quality of the product often occur. Furthermore, about 40% of the (RR,SS) isomer does not separate and remains in solution, along with the (RS,SR) isomer. This remaining mixture cannot be further purified by this method.
Another method, described in Israeli Specification No. 116281, relies on the fact that the (RS,SR) isomer of Tramadol undergoes dehydration much faster then the (RR,SS) isomer, when treated with 4-toluenesulfonic acid, or sulfuric acid; furthermore, when the reaction is carried out in an aqueous medium, a certain amount (up to 50%) of the (RS,SR) isomer is converted to the (RR,SS) isomer. This may, of course increase the efficiency of the process.
The unreacted (RR, SS) isomer is then separated from the dehydrated products and from other impurities by simple crystallization.
While further examining the results of the latter process, it was surprisingly found that the hydroxyl group of the (RS,SR) isomer of Tramadol reacts faster than the same group of the (RR,SS) with various reagents. A plausible explanation for this observation can be supplied by comparing the structures of both isomers, and their ability to form hydrogen bonds.
Looking closely at Fig. 1 [(RR,SS) Tramadol hydrochloride] and at Fig. 2 [(RS,SR) Tramadol hydrochloride], one can provide a plausible explanation for the difference in the OH group’s activity, as follows: The proton attached to the nitrogen atom of the protonated (RR,SS) isomer of Tramadol is capable of forming a stable hydrogen bonding with the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group (see Fig. 1). Thus, any reaction involving protonation of the hydroxyl group (such as dehydration), or any reaction in which the hydroxyl group reacts as a nucleophile (such as a nucleophilic substitution or esterification process) is less favored to occur.
In the (RS,SR) isomer, on the other hand, there is no possible way of forming a stable intramolecular hydrogen bond, and therefore, any of the above-mentioned types of reactions can easily occur, considering the fact that this particular hydroxyl group is tertiary and benzyllic.
The general purification procedure of the present invention consists of reacting a mixture of both geometrical isomers of Tramadol hydrochloride with a potential electrophile under such conditions that the (RS,SR) isomer reacts almost exclusively, while the (RR,SS) isomer remains practically intact. The resulting mixture is evaporated and the resulting solid substance is then recrystallized from isopropanol or any other suitable solvent.
Example 1
11.1 g of a mixture consisting of 77% (RR,SS) Tramadol hydrochloride and 23% of the corresponding (RS,SR) isomer were dissolved in 30 ml DMF. 1.3 g acetic anhydride were added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The solvent was partly evaporated under reduced pressure and 15 ml toluene were added. The suspension obtained was filtered and washed with 5 ml toluene. 5.8 g of crystals were obtained, in which the (RR,SS):(RS,SR) isomer ratio was 70:1. The product obtained was crystallized from 12 ml isopropanol and 4 g of pure (RR,SS) Tramadol hydrochloride were obtained.
Example 2
19.5 g of a mixture consisting of 60.5% (RR,SS) Tramadol hydrochloride and 40.5% of the corresponding (RS,SR) isomer were suspended in 55 ml chlorobenzene. A solution of 4 ml thionyl chloride in 15 ml chlorobenzene was added dropwise for two hours. The suspension was partly evaporated, the residue was filtered and rinsed with toluene, and 8.1 g of crystals were obtained, in which the (RR,SS):(RS, SR) isomer ratio was 14:1. The product obtained was recrystallized from isopropanol, and 6.7 g of pure (RR,SS) Tramadol hydrochloride were obtained.
Example 3
33.4 g of a mixture consisting of 45% (RR,SS) Tramadol hydrochloride and 55% of the corresponding (RS,SR) isomer was immersed in 50 ml trifluoroacetic acid, 5.2 g of sodium azide was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was then evaporated under reduced pressure, 50 ml water was added, and the solution was brought to pH 12 with solid potassium carbonate. The suspension was extracted with 50 ml toluene, the solvent was evaporated and 25 ml hydrogen chloride solution in isopropanol were added. The solution was cooled and filtered. 9.5 g of crude (RR,SS) Tramadol were obtained, and the crude product was purified by recrystallization from isopropanol.
The hitherto unknown (RS,SR)-2-(dimethylaminomethyl)-1-azido-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cyclohexane hydrochloride was isolated from the reaction mixture, recrystallized from isopropanol and characterized as follows:

Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone derived from Streptomyces avermitilis with antiparasitic activity. Ivermectin exerts its anthelmintic effect via activating glutamate-gated chloridechannels expressed on nematode neurons and pharyngeal muscle cells. Distinct from the channel opening induced by endogenous glutamate transmitter, ivermectin-activated channels open very slowly but essentially irreversibly. As a result, neurons or muscle cells remain at either hyperpolarisation or depolarization state, thereby resulting in paralysis and death of the parasites. Ivermectin does not readily pass the mammal blood-brain barrier to the central nervous system where glutamate-gated chloride channels locate, hence the hosts are relatively resistant to the effects of this agent.
This drug, ivermectin, was developed by William C. Campbell of Drew University and Satoshi Ōmura of Japan’s Kitasato University. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Originally, the drug was used to treat parasites in livestock and pets before becoming the mainstay of the global campaigns to combat lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis.
A workhorse of a drug that a few weeks ago earned its developers a Nobel prize for its success in treating multiple tropical diseases is showing early promise as a novel and desperately needed tool for interrupting malaria transmission, according to new findings presented today at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) Annual Meeting.
At ASTMH annual meeting, new studies explore advances in using ivermectin in ‘mass drug administration’ campaigns to reduce infections in Africa and slow spread of drug resistance in Asia…http://www.pharmpro.com/news/2015/10/nobel-prize-winning-drug-could-also-fight-malaria?et_cid=4908183&et_rid=577220619&type=cta
This new finding was presented today at the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) Annual Meeting by researchers from Colorado State University.
Ivermectin has been used for decades, given once per year as a part of Mass Drug Administration (MDA) programs, to reduce the disabling worm infections onchocerciasis, which causes river blindness, and filariasis, the cause of the hugely swollen legs (elephantiasis). Merck has generously donated the entire supply of drug; other companies have followed suit with different drugs for other neglected tropical diseases.
Ivermectin (22,23-dihydroavermectin B1a + 22,23-dihydroavermectin B1b) is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug in theavermectin family. It is sold under brand names Heartgard, Sklice[1] and Stromectol[2] in the United States, Ivomecworldwide by Merial Animal Health, Mectizan in Canada by Merck, Iver-DT[3] in Nepal by Alive Pharmaceutical and Ivextermin Mexico by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International. In Southeast Asian countries, it is marketed by Delta Pharma Ltd. under the trade name Scabo 6. While in development, it was assigned the code MK-933 by Merck.[4]
It is taken internally or used topically, depending on the treated condition.
It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basichealth system.[5]
It is a drug for the treatment of Onchocerciasis.
The disease is also known as river blindness. It is sometimes called Robles’ disease, after the Guatemalan doctor Rodolfo Robles, who first linked the blindness with an insect a century ago (1915).
Medical uses
Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent, traditionally against parasitic worms. It is mainly used in humans in the treatment of onchocerciasis (river blindness), but is also effective against other worm infestations (such as strongyloidiasis,ascariasis, trichuriasis, filariasis and enterobiasis), and some epidermal parasitic skin diseases, including scabies.
Ivermectin is currently being used to help eliminate river blindness (onchocerciasis) in the Americas, and to stop transmissionof lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis around the world in programs sponsored by the Carter Center using ivermectin donated by Merck.[6][7][8] The disease is endemic in 30 African countries, six Latin American countries, and Yemen, according to studies conducted by the World Health Organization.[9] The drug rapidly kills microfilariae, but not the adult worms. A single oral dose of ivermectin, taken annually for the 10- to 15-year lifespan of the adult worms, is all that is needed to protect the individual from onchocerciasis.[10]
An Ivermectin cream called Soolantra has been approved by the FDA for treatment of rosacea.[11][12]
SOOLANTRA (ivermectin) cream, 1% is a white to pale yellow hydrophilic cream. Each gram of SOOLANTRA cream contains 10 mg of ivermectin. It is intended for topical use.
Ivermectin is a semi-synthetic derivative isolated from the fermentation of Streptomyces avermitilis that belongs to the avermectin family of macrocyclic lactones.
Ivermectin is a mixture containing not less than 95.0 % and not more than 102.0 % of 5-O-demethyl-22,23-dihydroavermectin A1a plus 5-O-demethyl-25-de(1-methylpropyl)-25-(1-methylethyl)-22,23-dihydroavermectin A1a, generally referred to as 22,23-dihydroavermectin B1a and B1b or H2B1a and H2B1b, respectively; and the ratio (calculated by area percentage) of component H2B1a/(H2B1a + H2B1b)) is not less than 90.0 %.
The respective empirical formulas of H2B1a and H2B1b are C48H74O14and C47H72O14 with molecular weights of 875.10 and 861.07 respectively.
The structural formulas are:

Component H2B1a: R = C2H5, Component H2B1b: R = CH3.SOOLANTRA cream contains the following inactive ingredients: carbomer copolymer type B, cetyl alcohol, citric acid monohydrate, dimethicone, edetate disodium, glycerin, isopropyl palmitate, methylparaben, oleyl alcohol, phenoxyethanol, polyoxyl 20 cetostearyl ether, propylene glycol, propylparaben, purified water, sodium hydroxide, sorbitan monostearate, and stearyl alcohol.
River blindness?
The disease is also known as river blindness. It is sometimes called Robles’ disease, after the Guatemalan doctor Rodolfo Robles, who first linked the blindness with an insect a century ago (1915).

The infection is associated with a nematode worm Onchocerca volvulus, which are transmitted by Simulium blackflies which live and breed near fast-flowing streams and rivers. The worms carry parasitic Wolbachia bacteria. The bite of the flies enables the worm larvae to enter the human’s body; after maturing into adults, followed by breeding, the larvae (microfilariae) formed move towards the skin, and release the bacteria when they die. The bacteria trigger an immune response which leads to lesions on the eye and possible blindness (the “river blindness”).

Arthropod
More recent evidence supports its use against parasitic arthropods and insects:
- Mites such as scabies:[13][14][15] It is usually limited to cases that prove to be resistant to topical treatments or that present in an advanced state (such as Norwegian scabies).[15]
- Lice:[16][17] Ivermectin lotion (0.5%) is FDA-approved for patients six months of age and older.[18] After a single, 10-minute application of this formulation on dry hair, 78% of subjects were found to be free of lice after two weeks.[19] This level of effectiveness is equivalent to other pediculicide treatments requiring two applications.[20]
- Bed bugs:[21] Early research shows that the drug kills bed bugs when taken by humans at normal doses. The drug enters the human bloodstream and if the bedbugs bite during that time, they will die in a few days.
Contraindications
Ivermectin is contraindicated in children under the age of five, or those who weigh less than 15 kg (33 lb);[22] and those who are breastfeeding, and have a hepatic or renal disease.[23]
Side effects
The main concern is neurotoxicity, which in most mammalian species may manifest as central nervous system depression, and consequent ataxia, as might be expected from potentiation of inhibitory GABA-ergic synapses.
Dogs with defects in the P-glycoprotein gene (MDR1), often collie-like herding dogs, can be severely poisoned by ivermectin.
Since drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes often also inhibit P-glycoprotein transport, the risk of increased absorption past the blood-brain barrier exists when ivermectin is administered along with other CYP3A4 inhibitors. These drugs include statins, HIV protease inhibitors, many calcium channel blockers, and glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone, lidocaine, and the benzodiazepines.[24]
For dogs, the insecticide spinosad may have the effect of increasing the potency of ivermectin.[25]
Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics
Ivermectin and other avermectins (insecticides most frequently used in home-use ant baits) are macrocyclic lactones derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. Ivermectin kills by interfering with nervous system and muscle function, in particular by enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission.
The drug binds and activates glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluCls).[26] GluCls are invertebrate-specific members of the Cys-loop family of ligand-gated ion channelspresent in neurons and myocytes.
Pharmacokinetics
Ivermectin can be given either by mouth or injection. It does not readily cross the blood–brain barrier of mammals due to the presence of P-glycoprotein,[27] (the MDR1 gene mutation affects function of this protein). Crossing may still become significant if ivermectin is given at high doses (in which case, brain levels peak 2–5 hr after administration). In contrast to mammals, ivermectin can cross the blood–brain barrier in tortoises, often with fatal consequences.
Ecotoxicity
Field studies have demonstrated the dung of animals treated with ivermectin supports a significantly reduced diversity of invertebrates, and the dung persists longer.[28]
History
The discovery of the avermectin family of compounds, from which ivermectin is chemically derived, was made by Satoshi Ōmura of Kitasato University, Tokyo and William C. Campbell of the Merck Institute for Therapeutic research. Ōmura identified avermectin from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. Campbell purified avermectin from cultures obtained from Ōmura and led efforts leading to the discovery of ivermectin, a derivative of greater potency and lower toxicity.[29] Ivermectin was introduced in 1981.[30] Half of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to Campbell and Ōmura for discovering avermectin, “the derivatives of which have radically lowered the incidence of river blindness and lymphatic filariasis, as well as showing efficacy against an expanding number of other parasitic diseases”.[31]
It started with the avermectins. In 1974, a group of researchers headed by Professor Satoshi Ōmura of the Kitasato Institute, isolated an organism with promising antimicrobial properties in a soil sample (sample OS-3153) picked up near a golf course at Kawana, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. This was passed on to researchers at the Merck, Sharpe and Dohme (MSD) research laboratories in the USA, who isolated a small family of natural products that became known as avermectins. For many years, scientists have looked in soil samples for the source of potential medicines, like the tetracyclines or streptomycin . There are 8 avermectins, molecules with closely related structures. They are made by fermentation from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis.

The 8 different avermectins, with the differences between them shown in the table below.
| Name | R1 | R2 | X-Y |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avermectin A1a | Me | Et | CH=CH |
| Avermectin A1b | Me | Me | CH=CH |
| Avermectin A2a | Me | Et | CH2CH(OH) |
| Avermectin A2b | Me | Me | CH2CH(OH) |
| Avermectin B1a | H | Et | CH=CH |
| Avermectin B1b | H | Me | CH=CH |
| Avermectin B2a | H | Et | CH2CH(OH) |
| Avermectin B2b | H | Me | CH2CH(OH) |
The avermectins proved to be have biocidal activity against a wide range of parasites – such as roundworms, lungworms, mites, lice and arachnids; one of these parasites is the tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, one of the most important cattle parasites in tropical regions. Those with the -CH=CH- function are the more active; the most potent was Avermectin B1, occurring as an 80:20 mixture of the similar molecules B1a and B1b, particularly the B1a component. Commercially it is known as Abamectin.
Veterinary use
In veterinary medicine ivermectin is used against many intestinal worms (but not tapeworms), most mites, and some lice. Despite this, it is not effective for eliminating ticks, flies, flukes, or fleas. It is effective against larval heartworms, but not against adult heartworms, though it may shorten their lives. The dose of the medicine must be very accurately measured as it is very toxic in over-dosage. It is sometimes administered in combination with other medications to treat a broad spectrum of animal parasites. Some dog breeds (especially the Rough Collie, the Smooth Collie, the Shetland Sheepdog, and the Australian Shepherd), though, have a high incidence of a certain mutation within the MDR1 gene (coding for P-glycoprotein); affected animals are particularly sensitive to the toxic effects of ivermectin.[32][33] Clinical evidence suggests kittens are susceptible to ivermectin toxicity.[34] A 0.01% ivermectin topical preparation for treating ear mites in cats (Acarexx) is available.
Ivermectin is sometimes used as an acaricide in reptiles, both by injection and as a diluted spray. While this works well in some cases, care must be taken, as several species of reptiles are very sensitive to ivermectin. Use in turtles is particularly contraindicated.

Such selectivity found an important application in the synthesis of Ivermectin (MectizanTM). Avermectin is a naturally-occurring molecule with anthelmintic and insecticidal properties; selectively reducing one double bond using Wilkinson’s catalyst afforded Ivermectin. The resultant small change in molecular shape makes Ivermectin a much more effective drug to combat onchocerciasis (river blindness), a disease which affects many millions of people, mainly in poor African communities.

You need to add just two hydrogen atoms to reduce a C=C bond in avermectin.

What are “complex manufacturing processes”? A recent reply from the EMA
DRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL

Sometimes a clear definition of terms is crucial in the communication between authorities and pharmaceutical companies. Find out what the European Medicines Agency EMA defines as “complex manufacturing steps” and what authorisation holders providing a variation application need to consider.
The Variations Regulation (EC) no. 1234/2008 of the European Commission defines the procedure for variations of existing marketing authorisations. The “detailed guidelines for the various categories of variations“, which were published in the consolidated version in August 2013 in the European Official Journal, explain the interpretation and application of this Variations Regulation.
Although the “detailed guidelines” describe a number of scenarios of possible variations in some detail, there are formulations in the Guideline text which require clarification due to their blur. The EMA adopted such a case in a recent update of itsquestions and answers collection “Quality of Medicines Questions and Answers: Part 1”…
