Structure of Trioxacarcin C :

The trioxacarcins are polyoxygenated, structurally complex natural products that potently inhibit the growth of cultured human cancer cells

Natural products that bind and often covalently modify duplex DNA figure prominently in chemotherapy for human cancers. The trioxacarcins are a new class of DNA- modifying natural products with antiproliferative effects. The trioxacarcins were first described in 1981 by Tomita and coworkers (Tomita et al. , J. Antibiotics, 34( 12): 1520- 1524, 1981 ; Tamaoki et al., J. Antibiotics 34( 12): 1525- 1530, 1981 ; Fujimoto et al. , J. Antibiotics 36(9): 1216- 1221 , 1983). Trioxacarcin A, B, and C were isolated by Tomita and coworkers from the culture broth of Streptomyces bottropensis DO-45 and shown to possess anti-tumor activity in murine models as well as gram-positive antibiotic activity. Subsequent work led to the discovery of other members of this family. Trioxacarcin A is a powerful anticancer agent with subnanmolar IC70 values against lung (LXFL 529L, H-460), mammary (MCF-7), and CNS (SF-268) cancer cell lines. The trioxacarcins have also been shown to have antimicrobial activity {e.g., anti-bacterial and anti-malarial activity) (see, e.g. , Maskey et al., J. Antibiotics (2004) 57:771 -779).

trioxacarcin A

An X-ray crystal structure of trioxacarcin A bound to N-7 of a guanidylate residue in a duplex DNA oligonucleotide substrate has provided compelling evidence for a proposed pathyway of DNA modification that proceeds by duplex intercalation and alkylation (Pfoh et al, Nucleic Acids Research 36( 10):3508-3514, 2008).

All trioxacarcins appear to be derivatives of the aglycone, which is itself a bacterial isolate referred to in the patent literature as DC-45-A2. U.S. Patent 4,459,291 , issued July 10, 1984, describes the preparation of DC-45-A2 by fermentation. DC-45-A2 is the algycone of trioxacarcins A, B, and C and is prepared by the acid hydrolysis of the fermentation products trioxacarcins A and C or the direct isolation from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces bottropensis.

Based on the biological activity of the trioxacarcins, a fully synthetic route to these compounds would be useful in exploring the biological and chemical activity of known trioxacarcin compounds and intermediates thereto, as well as aid in the development of new trioxacarcin compounds with improved biological and/or chemical properties.

Source: Nicolaou Group/Rice University

A team led by Rice University synthetic organic chemist K.C. Nicolaou has developed a new process for the synthesis of a series of potent anti-cancer agents originally found in bacteria.

The Nicolaou lab finds ways to replicate rare, naturally occurring compounds in larger amounts so they can be studied by biologists and clinicians as potential new medications. It also seeks to fine-tune the molecular structures of these compounds through analog design and synthesis to improve their disease-fighting properties and lessen their side effects.

Such is the case with their synthesis of trioxacarcins, reported this month in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Glycosylation experiments

[00466] Glycosylation experiments demonstrate that the chemical process developed allows for the preparation of synthetic, glycosylated trioxacarcins. Specifically, the C4 or CI 3 hydroxyl group may be selectively glycosylated with a glycosyl donor (for example, a glycosyl acetate) and an activating agent (for example, TMSOTf), which enables preparation of a wide array of trioxacarcin analogues.

PAPER

Abstract Image

The current three-step manufacturing route for the preparation of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (1) was assessed and optimized leading to a higher yielding, simpler, and greener process. Key improvements in the process route include the refinement of the second stage through the replacement of the problematic magnesium tert-butoxide (MTB) with a 1:1 ratio of a Grignard reagent and tert-butanol. The development of a virtually solvent-free approach and the establishment of a workup and purification protocol which allows the isolation of a pure diethyl phosphonate ester (8) was achieved

Tenofovir disoproxil is an antiretroviral medication used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS and to treat chronic hepatitis B.[1] The active substance is tenofovir, while tenofovir disoproxil is a prodrug that is used because of its better absorption in the gut.

The drug is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system.[2] It is marketed by Gilead Sciences under the trade name Viread (as the fumarate, TDF).[3] As of 2015 the cost for a typical month of medication in the United States is more than 200 USD.[4]

Medical uses

  • HIV-1 infection: Tenofovir is indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.[5] This indication is based on analyses of plasma HIV-1 RNA levels and CD4 cell counts in controlled studies of tenofovir in treatment-naive and treatment-experienced adults.
  • Tenofovir is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older.[5][6]

HIV risk reduction

A Cochrane review examined the use of tenofovir for prevention of HIV before exposure. It found that both tenofovir alone and the tenofovir/emtricitabine combination decreased the risk of contracting HIV.[7]

The U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted a study in partnership with the Thailand Ministry of Public Health to ascertain the effectiveness of providing people who inject drugs illicitly with daily doses of the antiretroviral drug tenofovir as a prevention measure. The results of the study were released in mid-June 2013 and revealed a 48.9%-reduced incidence of the virus among the group of subjects who received the drug, in comparison to the control group who received a placebo. The principal investigator of the study stated: “We now know that pre-exposure prophylaxis can be a potentially vital option for HIV prevention in people at very high risk for infection, whether through sexual transmission or injecting drug use.”[8]

Adverse effects

The most common side effects associated with tenofovir include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and asthenia. Less frequent side effects include hepatotoxicity, abdominal pain, and flatulence.[9] Tenofovir has also been implicated in causing renal toxicity, particularly at elevated concentrations.[10]

Tenofovir can cause acute renal failure, Fanconi syndrome, proteinuria, or tubular necrosis.[citation needed] These side effects are due to accumulation of the drug in proximal tubules.[citation needed] Tenofovir can interact with didanosine by increasing didanosine’s concentration.[citation needed] It also decreases the concentration of atazanavir sulfate.[citation needed]

Mechanism of action

Tenofovir is a defective adenosine nucleotide that selectively interferes with the action of reverse transcriptase, but only weakly interferes with mammalian DNA polymerases α, β, and mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ.[11] Tenofovir prevents the formation of the 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage essential for DNA chain elongation. A phosphodiester bond cannot be formed because the tenofovir molecule lacks an —OH group on the 3′ carbon of its deoxyribose sugar.[11] Once incorporated into a growing DNA strand, tenofovir causes premature termination of DNA transcription. The drug is classified as a nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), that inhibits reverse transcriptase.[11] Reverse transcriptase is a crucial viral enzyme in retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and in hepatitis B virus infections.[5]

History

Tenofovir was initially synthesized by Antonín Holý at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague. The patent[12] filed by Holý in 1984 makes no mention of the potential use of the compound for the treatment of HIV infection, which had only been discovered one year earlier.

In 1985, De Clercq and Holý described the activity of PMPA against HIV in cell culture.[13] Shortly thereafter, a collaboration with the biotechnology company Gilead Sciences led to the investigation of PMPA’s potential as a treatment for HIV infected patients. In 1997 researchers from Gilead and the University of California, San Francisco demonstrated that tenofovir exhibits anti-HIV effects in humans when dosed by subcutaneous injection.[14]

The initial form of tenofovir used in these studies had limited potential for widespread use because it was not absorbed when administered orally. A medicinal chemistry team at Gilead developed a modified version of tenofovir, tenofovir disoproxil.[15] This version of tenofovir is often referred to simply as “tenofovir”. In this version of the drug, the two negative charges of the tenofovir phosphonic acid group are masked, thus enhancing oral absorption.

Tenofovir disoproxil was approved by the U.S. FDA on October 26, 2001, for the treatment of HIV, and on August 11, 2008, for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B.[16][17]

Drug forms

Tenofovir disoproxil is a prodrug form of tenofovir. It is also marketed under the brand name Reviro by Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories. Tenofovir is also available in a fixed-dose combination with emtricitabine in a product with the brand name Truvada for once-a-day dosing. Efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil (brand name Atripla) — a fixed-dose triple combination of tenofovir, emtricitabine, and efavirenz, was approved by the FDA on 12 July 2006 and is now available, providing a single daily dose for the treatment of HIV.

Therapeutic drug monitoring

Tenofovir may be measured in plasma by liquid chromatography. Such testing is useful for monitoring therapy and to prevent drug accumulation and toxicity in people with kidney or liver problems.[18][19][20]

Tenofovir Disoproxil is chemically known as 9-[-2-(R)-[[bis [[(isopropoxycarbonyl) oxy]methoxy] phosphinoyl]methoxy]propyl]-adenine, having the following structural formula-I.

Formula-I

Tenofovir is a highly potent antiviral agent, particularly for the therapy or prophylaxis of retroviral infections and belongs to a class of drugs called Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTI) which blocks reverse transcriptase an enzyme crucial to viral production in HIV-infected people.

Tenofovir Disoproxil and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts were first disclosed in US 5,922,695. This patent discloses the preparation of Tenofovir Disoproxil by the esterification of Tenofovir with chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate using l-methyl-2- pyrrolidinone and triethylamine. In this patent Tenofovir Disoproxil is converted into its Fumarate salt without isolation. PCT Publication WO 2008007392 discloses process for the preparation of Tenofovir Disoproxil fumarate, wherein the isolated crystalline Tenofovir Disoproxil is converted into fumarate salt.

Tenofovir Disoproxil processes in the prior art are similar to process disclosed in product patent US 5,922,695. According to the prior art processes, Tenofovir Disoproxil fumarate obtained is having low yields and also show the presence of impurities such as dimers.

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate

Example 1 : Process for the preparation of Tenofovir Disoproxil fumarate

Toluene (500 ml) was added to the Tenofovir (100 gm) and stirred at room temperature. To this triethylamine (66.31 gm) was added, temperature was raised to 90° C and water was collected by azeotropic distillation at 110°C. Toluene was completely distilled under vacuum at same temperature. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and to this a mixture of N-methyl pyrrolidine (300 gm), triethylamine (66.31 gm), Tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (52.8 gm) and trimethyl silyl chloride (17.8 gm) were added. The above reaction mixture was heated to 50-55 °C and was added slowly chloromethyl. isopropyl carbonate (CMIC) and maintained the reaction mixture at 50-55°C for 5 hrs. (Qualitative HPLC analysis shows about 85% product formation). The above reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was added to DM water at 5-10°C and extract with dichloromethane. The combined dichloromethane layer was concentrated under vacuum and the crude was Co-distilled with cyclohexane and this crude was taken into isopropyl alcohol (1000 ml). To this fumaric acid (38 gm) was added and temperature was raised to 50° C. The reaction mixture was filtered and filtrate was cooled to 5-10° C. The obtained solid was filtered and washed with isopropyl alcohol. The compound was dried under vacuum to yield Tenofovir Disoproxil fumarate (140 gm).

Example-2 : Preparation of Tenofovir

N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (25 gm) was taken along with toluene (150 gm) into a reaction vessel. l-(6-amino-purin-9-yl)-propan-2-ol (100 gm); toluene-4-sulfonic acid diethoxy phosphoryl methyl ester (200 gm) and magnesium ter-butoxide (71.2 gm) were also taken at’ 25-35°C. Temperature was raised to 74-75 °C and maintained for 5-6hrs. After completion of reaction, acetic acid (60 gm) was added and maintained for 1 hr. Later aq.HBr (332 gm) was taken and heated to 90-95 °C. After reaction completion, salts were filtered and filtrate was subjected to washings with water and extracted into methylene dichloride. Later pH was adjusted using CS lye below 10 °C. Tenofovir product was isolated using acetone.

Yield: 110 gm.

Example 3 : Preparation of Tenofovir disoproxil

(R)-9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]adenine (25 gm), triethyl amine (25 ml) and cyclohexane (200 ml) were combined and heated to remove water and the solvent was distilled off under vacuum. The reaction mass was cooled to room temperature N-methyl pyrrolidinone (55 ml), triethyl amine (25 ml) and tetra butyl ammonium bromide(54 gms) were added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mass was heated to 50-60°C and chloromethyl isopropyl carbonate (65 gm) was added and maintained for 4-8 hrs at 50- 60°C and then cooled to 0°C. The reaction mass was diluted with chilled water or ice and precipitated solid product was filtered. The mother liquor was extracted with methylene chloride (150 ml). The methylene chloride layer was washed with water (200 ml). The filtered solid and the methylene chloride layer were combined and washed with water and the solvent was distilled under vacuum. Ethyl acetate was charged to the precipitated solid. The reaction mass was then cooled to 0-5 °C and maintained for 6 hrs. The solid was filtered and dried to produce Tenofovir disoproxil (45 gm).

CLIPS

The reaction of chloromethyl chloroformate (I) with isopropyl alcohol (II) by means of pyridine or triethylamine in ether gives the mixed carbonate (III), which is then condensed with (R)-PMPA (IV) by means of diisopropyl ethyl-amine in DMF.

US 5922695; WO 9804569

CLIP 2

1) The protection of isobutyl D-(+)-lactate (I) with dihydropyran (DHP)/HCl in DMF gives the tetrahydropyranyloxy derivative (II), which is reduced with bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride in refluxing ether/ toluene yielding 2(R)-(tetrahydropyranyloxy)-1-propanol (III). The tosylation of (III) with tosyl chloride as usual affords the expected tosylate (VI), which is condensed with adenine (V) by means of Cs2CO3 in hot DMF, affording 9-[2(R)-(tetrahydropyranyloxy)propyl]adenine (VI). The deprotection of (VI) with sulfuric acid affords 9-[2(R)-hydroxypropyl]adenine (VII), which is N-benzoylated with benzoyl chloride/chlorotrimethylsilane in pyridine to give the benzamide (VIII), which is condensed with tosyl-oxymethylphosphonic acid diisopropyl ester (IX) by means of NaH in DMF to yield 9-[2(R)-(diisopropoxyphosphorylmethoxy)propyl]adenine (X). Finally, this compound is hydrolyzed by means of bromotrimethylsilane in acetonotrile.

2) The reaction of the previously described (R)-2-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-1-propanol (III) with benzyl bromide (XI) by means of NaH in DMF, followed by a treatment with Dowex 50X, gives 1-benzyloxy-2(R)-propanol (XII), which is condensed with tosyloxymethylphosphonic acid diisopropyl ester (IX) by means of NaH in THF, yielding 2-benzyloxy-1(R)-methylethoxymethylphosphonic acid diisopropyl ester (XIII). The hydrogenolysis of (XIII) over Pd/C in methanol affords 2-hydroxy-1(R)-methylethoxymethylphosphonic acid diisopropyl ester (XIV), which is tosylated with tosyl chloride/dimethyl-aminopyridine in pyridine to give the expected tosylate (XV). The condensation of (XV) with adenine (VI) by means of Cs2CO3 in hot DMF yields 9-[2(R)-(diisopropoxyphosphorylmethoxy)propyl]adenine (X), which is finally hydrolyzed as before.

3) The catalytic hydrogenation of (S)-glycidol (XVI) over Pd/C gives the (R)-1,2-propanediol (XVII), which is esterified with diethyl carbonate (XVIII)/NaOEt, yielding the cyclic carbonate (XIX). The reaction of (XIX) with adenine (V) by means of NaOH in DMF affords 9-[2(R)-hydroxypropyl]adenine (VII), which is condensed with tosyloxymethylphosphonic acid diethyl ester (XX) by means of lithium tert-butoxide in THF, giving 9-[2(R)-(diethoxyphosphorylmethoxy)propyl]adenine (XXI). Finally, this compound is hydrolyzed with bromotrimethylsilane as before. Compound (XX) is obtained by reaction of diethyl phosphite (XXII) with paraformaldehyde, yielding hydroxy- methylphosphonic acid diethyl ester (XXIII), which is finally tosylated as usual.

Liarozole synthesis from Lednicer book 6 (Drugs of the Future citation).

Liarozole fumarate is prepared as shown in Scheme 20970301a. Anisol is reacted with 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride (I) under Friedel-Craft conditions to give (3-chlorophenyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone (II). Nitration of (II) is carried out in dichloromethane at 10 C to yield (III). The methoxy group in (III) is replaced by the amino group by means of NH3 in 2-propanol at 100 C under pressure, giving (IV). By reduction of the keto function of (IV) with sodium borohydride in 2-propanol, the corresponding alcohol (V) is obtained, which upon treatment with 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole in refluxing dichloromethane yields the imidazolyl compound (VI). Hydrogenation of the nitro group in (VI), followed by cyclization of (VII) in a refluxing mixture of formic acid and 4N hydrochloric acid, gives the benzimidazole derivative (VIII). Finally, the treatment of (VIII) with fumaric acid in ethanol yields liarozole fumarate (IX).

Liarozole is a racemic mixture, i.e. a mixture of its optical isomers, and is specifically mentioned as compound 28 in EP-0,371,559. Said patent application mentions the use of compounds like liarozole in the treatment of epithelial disorders. EP-0,260,744 describes the use of compounds like liarozole for inhibiting or lowering androgen formation. Whereas EP-0,371,559 and EP-0,260,744 recognize that compounds like liarozole have stereochemically isomeric forms, no example of an enantiomerically pure form is given of liarozole.

Chemically liarozole is (±)-5-[3-chlorophenyl]-lH-imidazol-l-ylmethyl]-lH-benz- imidazole, and is represented by formula (I). As can be seen from the chemical structure, liarozole has one stereogenic center (indicated with an asterisk in formula (I)).

The subject of this invention is the enantiomerically pure dextrorotatory isomer or (+)-isomer of liarozole. Said isomer will hereinafter be referred to as (+)-liarozole. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e. they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes (+) and (-) or d and 1 are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (-) or 1 meaning that the compound is iaevorotatory and with (+) or d meaning that the compound is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure the optically active isomers having an opposite sign of optical rotation are called enantiomers. Said enantiomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A 1: 1 -mixture of such enantiomers is called a racemic mixture.

General preparation of structures including liarozole have been extensively described in EP-0,371,559 and EP-0,260,744.

Enantiomerically pure (+)-liarozole may be prepared by reacting an enantiomerically pure intermediate diamine of formula (B)-(II) with formic acid or a functional derivative thereof.

Said functional derivative of formic acid is meant to comprise the halide, anhydride, amide and ester, including the ortho and imino ester form thereof. Also methanimidamide or an acid addition salt thereof can be used as cyclizing agent.

The general reaction conditions, work-up procedures and conventional isolation techniques for carrying out the above and following reactions are described in the prior art. When more specific conditions are required they are mentioned hereinunder. The enantiomerically pure intermediate diamine of formula (B)-(II) may be prepared by reducing an intermediate of formula (B)-(iπ) by a standard nitro-to-amine reduction reaction.

The desired enantiomer of the intermediate of formula (B)-(]H) can be prepared by fractional crystallization of a racemic mixture of the intermediate of formula (HI) with an enantiomerically pure chiral acid. Preferred chiral acid for the above fractional crystallization is 7,7-dimethyl-2-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-l-methanesulfonic acid (i.e. 10-camphorsulfonic acid).

Appropriate solvents for carrying out said fractional crystallization are water, ketones, e.g. 2-propane, 2-butanone; alcohols, e.g. methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol. Mixtures of ketones and water are very suitable for the above fractional crystallization. Preferably a mixture of 2-propanone and water is used.

The ratio of water/2-propanone by volume may vary from 1/10 to 1/2. Preferred range of said ratio is 1/5 to 1/3.

The fractional crystallizations are suitably carried out below room temperature, preferably below 5°C.

It was also found that the subsequent reaction step can be carried out without any appreciable racemization.

Alternatively the (+)-isomer of the compound of formula (I) may be prepared by cyclizing an intermediate of formula (B)-(IV) following procedures as described above for the cyclization of intermediates of formula (B)-(II) and desulfurating the thus obtained intermediate of formula (B)-(V). In formulas (B)-(TV) and (B)-(V) R represents Ci^alkyl, wherein Ci-^alkyl means a straight or branch chained saturated hydrocarbon radicals having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl. Preferably R is methyl.

The intermediates of formula (B)-(IV) may be prepared by reacting an intermediate of formula (B)-(VI) with a reagent of formula (VII), alkylating the thus formed thiourea derivative of formula (B)-(VIII) subsequently cyclizing the intermediate of formula

(B)-(D ), and reducing the nitro group of the intermediate (B)-(X). In the formulas

(Vπ), (B)-(Vm), (B)-(IX) and (B)-(X) R represents Ci^alkyl as defined hereinabove.

  • Class Antineoplastics
  • Mechanism of Action Androgen receptor antagonists

ODM-201 (also known as BAY-1841788) is a non-steroidal antiandrogen, specifically, a full and high-affinity antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR), that is under development by Orion and Bayer HealthCare[1] for the treatment of advanced, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).[2][3]

 

Relative to enzalutamide (MDV3100 or Xtandi) and apalutamide (ARN-509), two other recent non-steroidal antiandrogens, ODM-201 shows some advantages.[3] ODM-201 appears to negligibly cross the blood-brain-barrier.[3] This is beneficial due to the reduced risk of seizures and other central side effects from off-target GABAA receptor inhibition that tends to occur in non-steroidal antiandrogens that are structurally similar to enzalutamide.[3] Moreover, in accordance with its lack of central penetration, ODM-201 does not seem to increase testosterone levels in mice or humans, unlike other non-steroidal antiandrogens.[3] Another advantage is that ODM-201 has been found to block the activity of all tested/well-known mutant ARs in prostate cancer, including the recently-identified clinically-relevant F876L mutation that produces resistance to enzalutamide and ARN-509.[3] Finally, ODM-201 shows higher affinity and inhibitory efficacy at the AR (Ki = 11 nM relative to 86 nM for enzalutamide and 93 nM for ARN-509; IC50 = 26 nM relative to 219 nM for enzalutamide and 200 nM for ARN-509) and greater potency/efficaciousness in non-clinical models of prostate cancer.[3]

ODM-201 has been studied in phase I and phase II clinical trials and has thus far been found to be effective and well-tolerated,[4] with the most commonly reported side effects including fatigue, nausea, and diarrhea.[5][6] No seizures have been observed.[6][7] As of July 2015, ODM-201 is in phase III trials for CRPC.[3]

ORM-15341 is the main active metabolite of ODM-201.[3] It, similarly, is a full antagonist of the AR, with an affinity (Ki) of 8 nM and an IC50 of 38 nM.[3]

ODM-201 is a new-generation, potent and selective androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor which is potential useful for treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). ODM-201 is a full and high-affinity AR antagonist that, similar to second-generation antiandrogens enzalutamide and ARN-509, inhibits testosterone-induced nuclear translocation of AR. Importantly, ODM-201 also blocks the activity of the tested mutant ARs arising in response to antiandrogen therapies, including the F876L mutation that confers resistance to enzalutamide and ARN-509. In addition, ODM-201 reduces the growth of AR-overexpressing VCaP prostate cancer cells both in vitro and in a castration-resistant VCaP xenograft model. ODM-201 overcomes resistance to AR-targeted therapies by antagonizing both overexpressed and mutated ARs. ODM-201 is currently in a phase 3 trial in CRPC

WHIPPANY, N.J., Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Bayer HealthCare and Orion Corporation, a pharmaceutical company based in Espoo, Finland, have begun to enroll patients in a Phase III trial with ODM-201, an investigational oral androgen receptor inhibitor in clinical development. The study, called ARAMIS, evaluates ODM-201 in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer who have rising Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels and no detectable metastases. The trial is designed to determine the effects of the treatment on metastasis-free survival (MFS).

“The field of treatment options for prostate cancer patients is evolving rapidly.  However, once prostate cancer becomes resistant to conventional anti-hormonal therapy, many patients will eventually develop metastatic disease,” said Dr. Joerg Moeller, Member of the Bayer HealthCare Executive Committee and Head of Global Development. “The initiation of a Phase III clinical trial for ODM-201 marks the starting point for a potential new treatment option for patients whose cancer has not yet spread.  This is an important milestone for Bayer in our ongoing effort to meet the unmet needs of men affected by prostate cancer.”

Earlier this year, Bayer and Orion entered into a global agreement under which the companies will jointly develop ODM-201, with Bayer contributing a major share of the costs of future development. Bayer will commercialize ODM-201 globally, and Orion has the option to co-promote ODM-201 in Europe. Orion will be responsible for the manufacturing of the product.

About the ARAMIS Study
The ARAMIS trial is a randomized, Phase III, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of oral ODM-201 in patients with non-metastatic CRPC who are at high risk for developing metastatic disease. About 1,500 patients are planned to be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive 600 mg of ODM-201 twice a day or matching placebo. Randomisation will be stratified by PSA doubling time (PSADT less than or equal to 6 months vs. > 6 months) and use of osteoclast-targeted therapy (yes vs. no).

The primary endpoint of this study is metastasis-free survival (MFS), defined as time between randomization and evidence of metastasis or death from any cause. The secondary objectives of this study are overall survival (OS), time to first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE), time to initiation of first cytotoxic chemotherapy, time to pain progression, and characterization of the safety and tolerability of ODM-201.

About ODM-201
ODM-201 is an investigational androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor that is thought to block the growth of prostate cancer cells. ODM-201 binds to the AR and inhibits receptor function by blocking its cellular function.

References on ARN-509

Apalutamide, also known as ARN-509 and JNJ-56021927 , is an androgen receptor antagonist with potential antineoplastic activity. ARN-509 binds to AR in target tissues thereby preventing androgen-induced receptor activation and facilitating the formation of inactive complexes that cannot be translocated to the nucleus. This prevents binding to and transcription of AR-responsive genes. This ultimately inhibits the expression of genes that regulate prostate cancer cell proliferation and may lead to an inhibition of cell growth in AR-expressing tumor cells.

Apalutamide (INN) (developmental code name ARN-509, also JNJ-56021927) is a non-steroidal antiandrogen that is under development for the treatment of prostate cancer.[1] It is similar to enzalutamide both structurally and pharmacologically,[2] acting as a selective competitive antagonist of the androgen receptor (AR), but shows some advantages, including greater potency and reduced central nervous system permeation.[1][3][4] Apalutamide binds weakly to the GABAA receptor similarly to enzalutamide, but due to its relatively lower central concentrations, may have a lower risk of seizures in comparison.[1][3][5] The drug has been found to be effective and well-tolerated in clinical trials thus far,[2][4] with the most common side effects reported including fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.[6][3][5] Apalutamide is currently in phase III clinical trials for castration-resistant prostate cancer.[7]

Recently, the acquired F876L mutation of the AR identified in advanced prostate cancer cells was found to confer resistance to both enzalutamide and apalutamide.[8][9] A newer antiandrogen, ODM-201, is not affected by this mutation, nor has it been found to be affected by any other tested/well-known AR mutations.[10]

Apalutamide may be effective in a subset of prostate cancer patients with acquired resistance to abiraterone acetate.[2]

The chemical structure of ARN-509 is very similar structure to  that of Enzalutamide (MDV3100) with two minor modifications: (a) two methyl groups in the 5-member ring of MDV3100 is linked by a CH2 group in ARN-509; (b) the carbon atom in the benzene ring of MDV3100 is replaced by a nitrogen atom in ARN-509. ARN-509 is considered as a Me-Too drug of Enzalutamide (MDV3100). ARN-509 was claimed to be more active than Enzalutamide (MDV3100).

ARN-509 is a novel 2nd Generation anti-androgen that is targeted to treat castration resistant prostate cancers where 1st generation anti-androgens fail.  ARN-509 is unique in its action in that it inhibits both AR nuclear translocation and AR binding to androgen response elements in DNA. Importantly, and in contrast to the first-generation anti-androgen bicalutamide, it exhibits no agonist activity in prostate cancer cells that over-express AR. ARN-509 is easily synthesized, and its oral bioavailability and long half-life allow for once-daily oral dosing. In addition, its excellent preclinical safety profile makes it well suited as either a mono- or a combination therapy across the entire spectrum of prostate cancer disease states. (source: http://www.aragonpharm.com/programs/arn509.htm).

ARN-509 is  a competitive AR inhibitor, which is fully antagonistic to AR overexpression, a common and important feature of CRPC. ARN-509 was optimized for inhibition of AR transcriptional activity and prostate cancer cell proliferation, pharmacokinetics and in vivo efficacy. In contrast to bicalutamide, ARN-509 lacked significant agonist activity in preclinical models of CRPC. Moreover, ARN-509 lacked inducing activity for AR nuclear localization or DNA binding. In a clinically valid murine xenograft model of human CRPC, ARN-509 showed greater efficacy than MDV3100. Maximal therapeutic response in this model was achieved at 30 mg/kg/day of ARN-509 , whereas the same response required 100 mg/kg/day of MDV3100 and higher steady-state plasma concentrations. Thus, ARN-509 exhibits characteristics predicting a higher therapeutic index with a greater potential to reach maximally efficacious doses in man than current AR antagonists. Our findings offer preclinical proof of principle for ARN-509 as a promising therapeutic in both castration-sensitive and castration-resistant forms of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer found in Western men and the second leading cause of cancer death in Western men. When prostate cancer is confined locally, the disease can usually be treated by surgery and/or radiation. Advanced disease is frequently treated with anti-androgen therapy, also known as androgen deprivation therapy. Administration of anti-androgens blocks androgen receptor (AR) function by competing for androgen binding; and therefore, anti-androgen therapy reduces AR activity. Frequently, such therapy fails after a time, and the cancer becomes hormone refractory, that is, the prostate cancer no longer responds to hormone therapy and the cancer does not require androgens to progress.

Overexpression of AR has been identified as a cause of hormone refractory prostate cancer (Nat. Med., 10:33-39, 2004; incorporated herein by reference). Overexpression of AR is sufficient to cause progression from hormone sensitive to hormone refractory prostate cancer, suggesting that better AR antagonists than the current drugs may be able to slow the progression of prostate cancer. It has been demonstrated that overexpression of AR converts anti-androgens from antagonists to agonists in hormone refractory prostate cancer. This work explains why anti-androgen therapy fails to prevent the progression of prostate cancer.

The identification of compounds that have a high potency to anatgonize AR activity would overcome the hormone refractory prostate cancer and slowdown the progression of hormone sensitive prostate cancer. Such compounds have been identified by Sayers et al. (WO 2007/126765, published Nov. 8, 2007; which is incorporated herein by reference). One compound is known as A52, a biarylthiohydantoin, and has the chemical structure

  • Another compound A51 has the chemical structure:
  • Both of these compounds share the same western and central portions. Given the need for larger quantities of pure A51 and A52 for pre-clinical and clinical studies, there remains a need for a more efficient synthesis of the compound from commercially available starting materials.

Convergent Coupling to Yield A52

The final coupling step between intermediates A and B is achieved by microwave irradiation and cyclization to the biarylthiohydantoin A52 (Scheme 6). Although 3 equivalents of A are required for the highest yields in this transformation, the un-reacted amine A can be recovered.

Galeterone (TOK-001 or VN/124-1) is a novel steroidal antiandrogen under development by Tokai Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of prostate cancer. It possesses a unique dual mechanism of action, acting as both an androgen receptor antagonist and an inhibitor of CYP17A1, an enzyme required for the biosynthesis of the androgens.[1] It shows selectivity for 17,20-lyase over 17-hydroxylase.[2]

As of 2016, galeterone is being compared to enzalutamide in a phase III clinical trial (ARMOR3-SV) for AR-V7-expressing metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.[3][4]

Specific Androgen Receptor Modulator CYP17 Inhibitor TOK-001 is an orally bioavailable small-molecule androgen receptor modulator and CYP17 lyase inhibitor with potential antiandrogen activity. Galeterone exhibits three distinct mechanisms of action: 1) as an androgen receptor antagonist, 2) as a CYP17 lyase inhibitor and 3) by decreasing overall androgen receptor levels in prostate cancer tumors, all of which may result in a decrease in androgen-dependent growth signaling. Localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP17 (P450C17 or CYP17A1) exhibits both 17alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities, and plays a key role in the steroidogenic pathway that produces progestins, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens.

About Galeterone

Tokai’s lead product candidate is galeterone, a highly-selective, oral small molecule with the potential to transform the treatment of prostate cancer. We are focusing our late-stage development of galeterone on the treatment of men with metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer, or CRPC, whose prostate tumor cells express the AR-V7 splice variant.


We are conducting ARMOR3-SV, a Phase 3 clinical trial of galeterone evaluating whether administration of galeterone results in a statistically significant increase in radiographic progression-free survival as compared to Xtandi® (enzalutamide), an oral therapy currently approved for the treatment of CRPC, in AR-V7 positive metastatic CRPC patients. ARMOR3-SV is the first pivotal trial in prostate cancer to employ a precision medicine approach for patient selection. For more information regarding ARMOR3-SV, click here.

Galeterone has been studied in over 250 subjects in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials, including in CRPC patients with and without the AR-V7 splice variant. In these trials, galeterone demonstrated good tolerability and showed clinically meaningful reductions in levels of prostate specific antigen, or PSA, a biochemincal marker used to evaluate prostate cancer patients for signs of response to therapy.

We are currently focusing our late-stage development of galeterone on AR-V7 positive metastatic CRPC patients because it represents an unmet need in prostate cancer and our precision medicine approach provides an efficient development path. Based on the data we and our collaborators have produced to date, we also believe there is rationale for the broader clinical exploration of galeterone in the future.


Galeterone acts by disrupting the androgen receptor signaling pathway. This pathway is activated by the binding of male hormones (also known as androgens), such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to androgen receptors in prostate cancer cells.

Galeterone disrupts the activation of the androgen receptor pathway in three ways:

  • Androgen receptor degradation, which reduces the amount of androgen receptor protein in tumor cells. There are no currently marketed drugs whose mechanism of action entails degradation of the androgen receptor. Therefore, galeterone represents a potential first-in-class therapeutic opportunity.
  • CYP17 enzyme inhibition, which blocks the synthesis of testosterone. This mechanism has been validated clinically by Zytiga (abiraterone). Zytiga must be co-administered with the steroid prednisone in order to minimize the risk of a potentially fatal side effect called mineralocorticoid excess. Unlike Zytiga, galeterone has not been shown in clinical trials to cause mineralocorticoid excess and, as a result, does not require co-administration of steroids. As a result, we believe that galeterone may be easier to administer, provide convenience for patients and enhance patient compliance.
  • Androgen receptor inhibition, which blocks the binding of testosterone or DHT with the androgen receptor. This mechanism has been validated clinically by Xtandi® (enzalutamide), which is also currently approved for the treatment of CRPC. Xtandi™ has shown a risk of grand mal seizures in clinical trials. We have not had any reports of seizures in clinical trials of galeterone and, therefore, galeterone may have certain safety advantages over Xtandi.

 


Tokai retains global rights to galeterone. We intend to commercialize galeterone in the United States on our own, and to seek a partner to further develop and commercialize galeterone outside of the United States.

Galeterone has been granted Fast Track designation by U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of CRPC. Fast Track designation is designed to facilitate the development and expedite review of drugs intended to treat serious or life-threatening conditions and that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs.

PAPER

Abstract Image

A diverse set of 3-aminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidinones was designed and synthesized. The structure–activity relationships of these polycyclic compounds as phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) inhibitors were studied along with their physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. Systematic optimizations of this novel scaffold culminated in the identification of a clinical candidate, (6aR,9aS)-2-(4-(6-fluoropyridin-2-yl)benzyl)-5-methyl-3-(phenylamino)-5,6a,7,8,9,9a-hexahydrocyclopenta[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyrimidin-4-(2H)-one phosphate (ITI-214), which exhibited picomolar inhibitory potency for PDE1, demonstrated excellent selectivity against all other PDE families and showed good efficacy in vivo. Currently, this investigational new drug is in Phase I clinical development and being considered for the treatment of several indications including cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease, movement disorders, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders, and other central nervous system (CNS) and non-CNS disorders

The synthetic methods disclosed in WO 2009/075784 and WO 2013/192556 are particularly applicable, as they include the methods to prepare the compound of Formula I-B. Those skilled in the art will readily see how those methods are applicable to the synthesis of the compounds of the present invention.

Formula I-B

For example, Compounds of the Invention wherein any one or more of R1 through R8 are D, can be prepared from the corresponding aminocyclopentanol, according to the method described in WO 2009/075784 or WO 2013/192556. For example, by reacting said aminocyclopentanol, optionally as its acid salt, with Intermediate A in the presence of a coupling agent, e.g., benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP reagent), and a base, e.g., l,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran (THF). The intermediate alcohol is then cyclized by treatment with toluenesulfonyl chloride (TsCl) in the presence of one or more bases, such as dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and triethylamine (TEA) in a solvent, such as THF. The reaction is summarized in the following scheme:

The required aminocyclopentanols can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, the aminocyclopentanol wherein R1 is D can be prepared via a reductive amination procedure that uses a reducing agent such as sodium triacetoxyborodeuteride or sodium borodeuteride as the reducing agent. For example, an optionally protected (R)-2-hydroxycyclopentanone can be reacted with 4-methoxybenzylamine in the presence of sodium triacetoxyborodeuteride to yield the desired deuterated secondary amine, wherein P is the protecting group. Reaction of the resulting amine with a strong acid such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TMFSA) will result in removal of the 4-methoxybenzyl group and the protecting group to yield the desired aminocyclopentanol. Those skilled in the art will know how to choose a suitable protecting group for the secondary alcohol such that deprotection can take place during the acid treatment step (e.g., a tert-butyldimethylsilyl group or a tert-butoxycarbonyl group). Alternatively, those skilled in the art could choose a protecting group that would survive this step. If desired, the protected intermediate can be purified by chiral HPLC in order to enhance the optical purity of the final

As another example, Compounds of the Invention wherein any one or more of R9 to R15 or R21 to R22 are D can be prepared from the corresponding benzyl halide, according to the method described in WO 2009/075784 or WO 2013/192556. For example, by reacting said benzyl halide with the Intermediate B in the presence of suitable base, such as cesium carbonate or potassium carbonate, in a suitable solvent, such as dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide. The corresponding benzyl halide can be prepared by methods well known to those skilled in the art. The reaction is summarized in the following scheme:

As another example, compounds of the invention wherein any one or more of R16 to R20 are D can be prepared from the corresponding phenyl

isothiocyanate, according to the method described in WO 2009/075784 or WO

2013/192556. For example, by reacting said phenyl isothiocyanate with Intermediate C in a suitable solvent, such as dimethylformamide. The corresponding phenyl isothiocyanate can be prepared by methods well known to those skilled in the art. The reaction is summarized in the following scheme:

Alternatively, compounds of the invention wherein any one or more of R16 to R20 are D can be prepared from the corresponding aniline, according to the method described in WO 2009/075784 or WO 2013/192556. For example, by reacting said aniline with Intermediate D and a strong base, such as lithium

hexamethyldisilylazide (LiHMDS), in a suitable solvent, such as THF at elevated temperature. Such a reaction can also be achieved by catalytic amination using a catalyst, such as tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (Pd2(dba)3), and a ligand, such as Xantphos. The corresponding aniline can be prepared by methods well known to those skil

After transition of the program, Intra-Cellular Therapies plans to continue the clinical development of PDE1 inhibitors for the treatment of central nervous system, cardiovascular and other disorders.

“We are grateful for Takeda’s substantial efforts in advancing this program into clinical development,” said Dr. Sharon Mates, Chairman and CEO of Intra-Cellular Therapies. “This provides us with the opportunity to unify our PDE1 platform and we look forward to continuing the development of ITI-214 and our other PDE1 inhibitors.”

Intra-Cellular Therapies will discuss the PDE1 program in its previously announced earnings call on Monday, November 3, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. To participate in the conference call, please dial 844-835-6563 (U.S.) or 970-315-3916 (International) five to ten minutes prior to the start of the call. The participant passcode is 25568442.

About PDE1 Inhibitors

PDE1 inhibitors are unique, orally available, investigational drug candidates being developed for the treatment of cognitive impairments accompanying schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and other neuropsychiatric disorders and neurological diseases and may also treat patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Parkinson’s disease. These compounds may also have the potential to improve motor dysfunction associated with these conditions and may also have the potential to treat patients with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases and pulmonary arterial hypertension. These compounds are very selective for the PDE1 subfamily relative to other PDE subfamilies. They have no known significant off target activities at other enzymes, receptors or ion channels.

FDA Guideline on Dissolution Testing


DR ANTHONY MELVIN CRASTO Ph.D's avatarDRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL

The FDA has presented the draft of a revised guideline on dissolution testing for immediate release. Under certain conditions, the tests can now be standardised. Read on to get more information about FDA’s Guideline on Dissolution Testing.

http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_05230_FDA-Guideline-on-Dissolution-Testing_15398,Z-QCM_n.html

In August 2015, the FDA published the draft of a guideline on dissolution testing for immediate release solid oral dosage forms. It is planned that after its finalisation, a part of this guideline will replace the current guideline from August 1997.

The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) distinguishes 4 different classes of APIs depending on their  solubility and permeability.
On the basis of this classification, a decision can be taken for determining when bioavailability or bioequivalence studies are required, or when a successful in vitro-in vivo correlation (IVIVC) is likely.

The BCS proposes that, for certain medicinal products which contain a high soluble API, dissolution testing can be standardised. Due to their high solubility…
