Evaluate safety, PK and efficacy of previously treated NSCLC patients, Compare the efficacy of oral single agent versus single agent cytotoxic chemotherapy in patients with EGFRm+ NSCLC after failure of at least 1 previous EGFR-directed TKI and at least 1 line of platinum-containing doublet therapy. Compare the safety and efficacy of CO-1686 versus erlotinib as first line treatment of patients with EGFRm+ NSCLC

Rociletinib (CO-1686): Rociletinib is an orally administered irreversible inhibitor currently in several clinical trials targeting both the activating EGFR mutations and the acquired T790M resistance mutation while sparing WT EGFR. It is a potent inhibitor of EGFR T790M/L858R double mutant with a k_inact/K_i of 2.41 × 10⁵ M⁻¹ s⁻¹. It has a 22-fold selectivity over WT EGFR (k_inact/K_i of 1.12 × 10⁴ M⁻¹ s⁻¹). In NSCLC cell lines containing EGFR mutations, rociletinib demonstrates the following cellular pEGFR IC₅₀: 62 nM in NCI-1975 (L858R/T790M), 187 nM in HCC827 (exon 19 deletion), 211 nM in PC9 (exon 19 deletion). In cell lines expressing WT EGFR, cellular pEGFR IC₅₀ are: >4331 nM in A431, >2000 nM in NCI-H1299, and >2000 nM in NCI-H358.

Rociletinib displayed good oral bioavailability (65%) and long half-life when dosed at 20 mg/kg in female Nu/Nu mice. In tumor bearing mice when rociletinib was dosed orally once daily as a single agent, the compound showed dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition in various EGFR-mutant models. In NCI-H1975 as well as in patient-derived LUM 1868 lines expressing the EGFR T790M/L858R double mutation that are erlotinib-resistant models, rociletinib caused tumor regressions at 100 mg/kg/d. In the HCC827 xenograft model that expresses the del-19 activating EGFR mutation, rociletinib showed antitumor activity that was comparable with erlotinib and the second-generation EGFR TKI, afatinib. The wild-type sparing feature of rociletinib was further demonstrated through its minimal inhibition (36%) of tumor growth in the A431 xenograft model that is dependent on WT EGFR for proliferation.

In a Phase I/II study (TIGER-X), rociletinib was administered to patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC who had disease progression during treatment with a previous line of EGFR TKI therapy.The Phase I trial was a dose escalation study to assess safety, side-effect profile and pharmacokinetic properties of rociletinib, and the Phase II trial was an expansion arm to evaluate efficacy. T790M positivity was confirmed before enrollment in the Phase II portion. At the dose of 500 mg BID, the objective response rate in 243 centrally confirmed tissues from T790M positive patients was 60% and the disease control rate was 90%. The estimated overall median PFS at the time of the publication (May 2015) was 8.0 months among all centrally confirmed T790M positive patients. Rociletinib also showed activity in centrally confirmed T790M negative patients with the overall response rate being 37%. The common dose-limiting adverse event was grade 3 hyperglycemia occurring in 17% of patients at a dose of 500 mg BID. Grade 3 QTc prolongation was observed in 2.5% of the patients at the same dose. Treatment-related adverse events leading to drug discontinuation was seen in only 2.5% of patients at 500 mg BID.

In November 2015, FDA approved osimertinib (Tagrisso™) for the treatment of patients with metastatic EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC, who have progressed on or after EGFR TKI therapy. Based on the clinical performance of the third generation EGFR drugs, more regulatory approvals can be expected.

Nazartinib, also known as EGF816, is an orally available, irreversible, third-generation, mutant-selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, with potential antineoplastic activity. EGF816 covalently binds to and inhibits the activity of mutant forms of EGFR, including the T790M EGFR mutant, thereby preventing EGFR-mediated signaling. This may both induce cell death and inhibit tumor growth in EGFR-overexpressing tumor cells. EGF816 preferentially inhibits mutated forms of EGFR including T790M, a secondarily acquired resistance mutation, and may have therapeutic benefits in tumors with T790M-mediated resistance when compared to other EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors

Lamivudine (2′,3′-dideoxy-3′-thiacytidine, commonly called 3TC) is an antiretroviral medication used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS and used to treat chronic hepatitis B.^[1]

It is of the nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) class. It is marketed in the United States under the tradenames Epivir and Epivir-HBV.

It is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines, a list of the most important medication needed in a basic health system.^[2] As of 2015 the cost for a typical month of medication in the United States is more than 200 USD.^[3]

Medical uses

Lamivudine has been used for treatment of chronic hepatitis B at a lower dose than for treatment of HIV/AIDS. It improves the seroconversion of e-antigen positive hepatitis B and also improves histology staging of the liver. Long term use of lamivudine leads to emergence of a resistant hepatitis B virus (YMDD) mutant. Despite this, lamivudine is still used widely as it is well tolerated.

Resistance

Mechanism of action

Lamivudine is an analogue of cytidine. It can inhibit both types (1 and 2) of HIV reverse transcriptase and also the reverse transcriptase of hepatitis B virus. It is phosphorylated to active metabolites that compete for incorporation into viral DNA. They inhibit the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme competitively and act as a chain terminator of DNA synthesis. The lack of a 3′-OH group in the incorporated nucleoside analogue prevents the formation of the 5′ to 3′ phosphodiester linkage essential for DNA chain elongation, and therefore, the viral DNA growth is terminated.

Lamivudine is administered orally, and it is rapidly absorbed with a bio-availability of over 80%. Some research suggests that lamivudine can cross the blood–brain barrier. Lamivudine is often given in combination with zidovudine, with which it is highly synergistic. Lamivudine treatment has been shown to restore zidovudine sensitivity of previously resistant HIV. Lamivudine showed no evidence of carcinogenicity or mutagenicity in in vivo studies in mice and rats at doses from 10 to 58 times those used in humans.^[7]

History

Racemic BCH-189 (the minus form is known as Lamivudine) was invented by Dr. Bernard Belleau while at work at McGill University and Dr Paul Nguyen-Ba at the Montreal-based IAF BioChem International, Inc. laboratories in 1988 and the minus enantiomer isolated in 1989. Samples were first sent to Dr. Yung-Chi Cheng of Yale University for study of its toxicity. When used in combination with AZT, he discovered that Lamivudine’s negative form reduced side effects and increased the drug’s efficiency at inhibiting reverse transcriptase.^[8] The combination of Lamivudine and AZT increased the efficiency at inhibiting an enzyme HIV uses to reproduce its genetic material. As a result, Lamivudine was identified as a less toxic agent to mitochondria DNA than other retroviral drugs.^[9]

Lamivudine was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on November 17, 1995 for use with zidovudine (AZT) and again in 2002 as a once-a-day dosed medication. The fifth antiretroviral drug on the market, it was the last NRTI for three years while the approval process switched to protease inhibitors. According to the manufacturer’s 2004 annual report, its patent will expire in the United States in 2010 and in Europe in 2011.

On September 2014, Dr. Gorbee Logan, a Liberian physician, reported positive results while treating Ebola virus disease with Lamivudine. Out of 15 patients treated with the antiviral, 13 (those treated within the third to fifth day of symptoms being manifested) survived the disease and were declared virus-free; the remaining cases (treated from the fifth day or later) died.^[10]^[11]

Lamivudine is also available in fixed combinations with other HIV drugs:

Lamivudine (I) (CAS No. 134678-17-4) is chemically known as (-)-[2R,5S]-4_T amino- 1 – [2-(hydroxymethyl)- 1 ,3 -oxathiolan-5-yl] -2( 1 H)-pyrimidin-2-one.

Formula (I)

Lamivudine is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor used alone or in combination with other classes of Anti-HIV drugs in the treatment of HIV infection. It is available commercially as a pharmaceutical composition under the brand name EPIVIR^®, marketed by GlaxoSmithKline, and is covered under US 5,047,407.

This molecule has two stereo-centres, thus giving rise to four stereoisomers: (±)- Cis Lamivudine and (±)-Trans Lamivudine. The pharmaceutically active isomer however is the (-)-Cis isomer which has the absolute configuration [2R,5S] as show in Formula (I).

US 5,047,407 discloses the 1,3-oxathiolane derivatives; their geometric (cis/trans) and optical isomers. This patent describes the preparation of Lamivudine as a mixture of cis and trans isomers (shown in scheme I). The diastereomers obtained are converted into N-acetyl derivatives before separation by column chromatography using ethylacetate and methanol (99:1); however, this patent remains silent about further resolution of the cis isomer to the desired (-)- [2R,5S]-Cis-Lamivudine. Secondly, as the ethoxy group is a poor leaving group, the condensation of cytosine with compound VI gives a poor yield, i.e. 30 – 40%, of compound VII. Thirdly, chromatographic separation that has been achieved only after acetylation requires a further step of de-acetylation of the cis-(±)- isomer. Also, separation of large volumes of a compound by column chromatography makes the process undesirable on a commercial scale.

(+/-) Cis (+/-) Cis Lamivudine (VIII)

Scheme – 1 Efforts have been made in the past to overcome the shortcomings of low yield and enantiomeric enrichment, hi general, there have been two approaches to synthesize (— )-[2R,5S]-Cis-Lamivudine. One approach involves stereoselective synthesis, some examples of which are discussed below.

US 5,248,776 describes an asymmetric process for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure β-L-(-)-l,3-oxathiolone-nucleosides starting from optically pure 1,6-thioanhydro-L-gulose, which in turn can be easily prepared from L- Gulose. The condensation of the 1,3-oxathiolane derivative with the heterocyclic base is carried out in the presence of a Lewis acid, most preferably SnCl_4, to give the [2R,5R] and [2R,5S] diastereomers that are then separated chromatographically.

US 5,756,706 relates a process where compound A is esterified and reduced to compound B. The hydroxy group is then converted to a leaving group (like acetyl) and the cis- and trans-2R-tetrahydrofuran derivatives are treated with a pyrimidine base, like N-acetylcytosine, in the presence trimethylsilyl triflate to give compound C in the diastereomeric ratio 4: 1 of cis and trans isomers.

A B C

Z = S₅ CH

Dissolving compound C in a mixture of 3:7 ethyl acetate-hexane separates the cis isomer. The product containing predominantly the cis-2R,5S isomer and some trans-2R,5R compound is reduced with NaBH₄ and subjected to column chromatography (30% MeOH-EtOAc) to yield the below compound.

US 6,175,008 describes the preparation of Lamivudine by reacting mercaptoacetaldehyde dimer with glyoxalate and further with silylated pyrimidine base to give mainly the cis-isomer by using an appropriate Lewis acid, like TMS-

I₅ TMS-Tf, TiCl₄ et cetera. However the stereoselectivity is not absolute and although the cis isomer is obtained in excess, this process still requires its separation from the trans isomer. The separation of the diastereomers Js done by acetylation and chromatographic separation followed by deacetylation. Further separation of the enantiomers of the cis-isomer is not mentioned.

US 6,939,965 discloses the glycosylation of 5-fluoro-cytosine with compound F (configuration: 2R and 2S)

The glycosylation is carried out in the presence of TiCl₃(OiPr) which is stereoselective and the cis-2R,5S-isomer is obtained in excess over the trans- 2S,5S-isomer. These diastereomers are then separated by fractional crystallization.

US 6,600,044 relates a method for converting the undesired trans-l,3-oxathiolane nucleoside to the desired cis isomer by a method of anomerizatioή or transglycosylation and the separation of the hydroxy-protected form of cis-, trans- (-)-nucleosides by fractional crystallization of their hydrochloride, hydrobromide, methanesulfonate salts. However, these cis-trans isomers already bear the [R] configuration at C2 and only differ in their configuration at C5; i.e. the isomers are [2R,5R] and [2R,5S]. Hence diastereomeric separation directly yields the desired [2R, 5S] enantiomer of Lamivudine.

In the second approach to prepare enantiomerically pure Lamivudine the resolution of racemic mixtures of nucleosides is carried out. US 5,728,575 provides one such method by using enzyme-mediated enantioselective hydrolysis of esters of the formula

wherein, ‘R’ is an acyl group and ‘Rl ‘ represents the purine or pyrimidine base.

‘R’ may be alkyl carboxylic, substituted alkyl carboxylic and preferably an acyl group that is significantly electron-withdrawing, eg. α-haloesters. After selective hydrolysis, the process involves further separation of the unhydrolyzed ester from the^‘ enantiomerically pure 1,3-oxathiolane-nucleoside. Three methods are suggested in this patent, which are:

1. Separation of the more lipophilic unhydrolyzed ester by solvent extraction with one of a wide variety of nonpolar organic solvents.

2. Lyophilization followed by extraction into MeOH or EtOH. 3. Using an HPLC column designed for chiral separations.

In another of its aspects, this patent also refers to the use of the enzyme cytidine- deoxycytidine deaminase, which is enantiomer-specific, Λo catalyze the deamination of the cytosine moiety and thereby converting it to uridine. Thus, the enantiomer that remains unreacted is still basic and can be extracted by using an acidic solution.

However, the above methods suffer from the following drawbacks, (a) Enzymatic hydrolysis sets down limitations on choice of solvents: alcohol solvents cannot be used as they denature enzymes. (b) Lyophilization on an industrial scale is tedious, (c) Chiral column chromatographic separations are expensive.

WO 2006/096954 describes the separation of protected or unprotected enantiomers of the cis nucleosides of below formula by using a chiral acid to form diastereomeric salts that are isolated by filtration. Some of the acids used are R-

(-)-Camphorsulfonic acid, L-(-)-Tartaric acid, L-(-)-Malic acid, et cetera.

However, the configuration of these CIS-nucleosides are [2R,4R] and [2S,4S] as the heterocyclic base is attached at the 4 position of the oxathiolane ring and the overall stereo-structure of the molecule changes from that of the 2,5-substituted oxathiolane ring.

Thus various methods are described for the preparation of Lamivudine. However there is no mention in the prior art about the separation of an enantiomeric pair, either cis-(±) or trans-(±), from a mixture containing cis-[2R,5S], [2S,5R] and trans-[2R,5R], [2S,5S] isomers. Further, there also is a need to provide resolution of the cis-(±) isomers to yield the desired enantiomer in high optical purity.

CN 1223262 (Deng et aϊ) teaches the resolution of a certain class of compounds called Prazoles by using chiral host compounds such as dinaphthalenephenols (BINOL), diphenanthrenols or tartaric acid derivatives. The method consists of the formation of a 1:1 complex between the chiral host (BINOL) and one of the enantiomers, the guest molecule. The other enantiomer remains in solution. (S)- Omeprazole, which is pharmaceutically active as a highly potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion, has been isolated from its racemic mixture in this manner by using S-BINOL.

BINOL is a versatile chiral ligand that has found its uses in various reactions involving asymmetric synthesis (Noyori, R. Asymmetric Catalysis in Organic

Synthesis) and optical resolution (Cram, D. J. et al J. Org. Chem. 1977, 42, 4173-

4184). Some of these reactions include BINOL-mediated oxidation and reduction reactions, C-C bond formation reactions such as Aldol reaction, Michael addition,

Mannich reaction et cetera (Brunei Chem. Rev. 2005 105, 857-897) and kinetic resolution, resolution by inclusion complexation et cetera.

BINOL, or l,l’-bi-2-Naphthol, being an atropoisomer possesses the property of chiral recognition towards appropriate compounds. One of the uses of BINOL in resolution that is known in literature is in Host-Guest complexation. In one such example, 1,1-binaphthyl derivatives have been successfully incorporated into optically active crown ethers for the enantioselective complexation of amino acid esters and chiral primary ammonium ions (Cram, D. J. Ace. Chem. Res. 1978, 11, 8-14). The chiral ‘host’ is thus able to discriminate between enantiomeric compounds by the formation of hydrogen bonds between the ether oxygen and the enantiomers. The complex formed with one of the isomers, the ‘guest’, will be less stable on steric grounds and this forms the basis for its separation.

It is evident from the literature cited that there exists a need to (a) synthesize Lamivudine by a process requiring less expensive, less hazardous and easily available reagents, and (b) achieve good yields with superior quality of product without resorting to column chromatography as a means of separation, thereby making the process of Lamivudine manufacture more acceptable industrially.

CLIP

ideally, the chemical synthesis of APIs begins from simple, inexpensive building blocks or RMs that are used for multiple purposes and are available in the fine chemicals industry, though some require uncommon RMs that contribute significantly to API manufacturing cost. RMs are converted into APIs by multi-step processes of breaking old chemical bonds and making new ones. A synthesis of 3TC is shown in . In the seven-step sequence, six steps involve breaking existing chemical bonds and creating new ones to build the molecular architecture of the API. The final recrystallization of an API is a critical step; at this stage the crystalline form of the API is determined and related substances (impurities) are removed or reduced to acceptable levels. APIs are often milled in a final step so that their particle size distribution (PSD) falls within specified limits. The crystalline form and PSD of an API must be controlled, because these properties are often critical to the formulation, dissolution, absorption and bioavailability of a drug. Bioavailability is the fraction of a drug dose that reaches systemic circulation (that is, is present in blood plasma) after administration. By definition, a drug is 100% bioavailable when administered by injection; drugs for ART are taken every day and administration by injection is not possible.

The cost of ART is absolutely critical to ensuring access in LMICs. The cost of manufacturing an API is dependent upon the cost of RMs, the cost of overheads and labour (OHL) and volume demand for the product. OHL includes the capital investment to build a manufacturing facility and operating costs, including personnel and energy, waste disposal and the eventual cost of decommissioning of the facility. Increased volume demand generally decreases the cost contribution of RM and OHL. Substantial production volumes are required to obtain full economy of scale . Producing 1–5 metric tons per year is substantially more expensive per kilogram than producing 100 metric tons of an API. There is a practical limit of approximately 50–100 metric tons/year beyond which cost reductions are modest with increased volume, but this practical limit refers to the volumes of drug manufactured in any single manufacturing plant. Exceptions to these generalizations do occur, most often when demand exceeds either the existing manufacturing capacity for a specific API or the availability of critical RMs . Exceptions that have occurred include shortages of β-thymidine for producing AZT and a squeeze on the availability and price of adenine as a starting material for TDF. Another contributor to RM and OHL costs is the efficiency of a chemical synthesis. Since operating costs for a manufacturing facility may be USD2,000/h, the number of steps or processing time for a chemical synthesis affects manufacturing cost. The efficiency of a synthesis is often quoted as an E-factor representing the kilograms of waste produced per kilogram of product manufactured. Waste management is expensive in chemical manufacturing wherever environmental guidelines are both reasonable and followed. From a slightly different perspective, increasing the overall yield of an API synthesis reduces RM use and associated cost for manufacturing.

There are two options for the synthesis of lamivudine: In the first approach the intact nucleoside analogue is prepared in racemic form by resolution to afford the required chiral product. This can be effected by an enzyme-mediated enantiospecific reaction. In the second approach synthesis of a chiral sugar component precedes coupling with the cytosine base under conditions where the chirality of the sugar precursor is maintained. The first approach is outlined in Scheme 18435601a. The oxathiolane (III) is obtained as a 1:1 mixture of anomers from reaction of benzoyloxyacetaldehyde (I) with mercaptoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal (II) in the presence of a Lewis acid. Treatment of (III) with silylated cytosine (IV) in the presence of TMS-triflate affords a 1:1 mixture of beta- and alpha-anomers (V) from which the required beta-anomer may be obtained by crystallization. Various alternative coupling conditions have been reported which yield almost exclusively the beta-anomer, notably as a result of the use of SnCl4. Subsequent deprotection affords the racemic nucleoside (VI) (BCH189). The resolution may be effected by a variety of enzymatic processes. Treatment of the nucleoside with phosphorus oxychloride and trimethylphosphate affords the 5′-monophosphate (VII). The natural enantiomer is selectively recognized by the 5′-nucleotidase from Crotalus atrox venom to afford the (+)-beta-D-nucleoside (VIII) and leave the unatural (-)-beta-L-enantiomer as the monophosphate (IX). Facile separation of these two products and subsequent dephosphorylation of (IX) using bacterial alkaline phosphatase affords lamivudine. Selective enzymatic recognition of the natural enantiomer may also be used to advantage in the resolution using cytidine deaminase derived from E. coli. In this case the enzyme is responsible for enantiospecific hydrolysis of the natural form to afford a readily separable mixture of lamivudine and the uridine derivative (X). Other enzymes including esterases and phosphodiesterases have application in the resolution of derivatives of the racemic nucleoside.

J Org Chem 1992,57(8),2217-9

The second general approach to synthesis of lamivudine does not involve intermediacy of the racemic nucleoside. A variety of routes are available for preparing chiral oxathiolane intermediates which may be coupled to the cytosine base under appropriate conditions where the chirality of the oxathiolane is maintained. Various natural carbohydrate precursors have utility in the synthesis of lamivudine; for example, a synthesis from L-gulose has recently been reported. (+)-Thiolactic acid (XI) has served as a starting material for chiral oxathiolane (XII), which is coupled to silylated cytosine in the presence of TMS-iodide to afford (XIII). Separation of the pure beta-anomer and deprotection affords lamivudine. Alternatively, racemic acid (XV) may be prepared from glyoxylic acid (XIV) and resolution using a suitable chiral base such as norephedrine would afford the chiral acid (XVI), which may be esterified prior to coupling with cytosine to give (XVII) followed by final reduction to lamivudine.

Lamivudine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, and is a kind of deoxycytidine analogue, which can inhibit the reproduction of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV), whose chemical name is (2R-cis)-4-amino-1-(2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl)-1H-pyrimidin-2-one, and structural formula is as follows:

In 1990, Belleau et al firstly reported Lamivudine structure, and BioChem Pharma of Canada firstly developed Lamivudine to be used to treat AIDS ( WO91/17159 ) and hepatitis B ( EP0474119 ), and found that it had distinguished therapeutic effect on hepatitis B. Since Lamivudine has two chiral centers, it has 4 stereisomers, among which the 2R,5S (2R–cis)-isomer is the most potent in anti-HIV and anti-HBV activities, and its cytotoxicity on some cells is lower than its enatiomer or racemic body.
WO94/14802 mentioned two synthetic schemes (see Scheme 1 and Scheme 2):
In the above two schemes of this process, chirality was not controlled, and the final product was obtained by column chromatography, thus the yield was low and the requirement on the equipment was high, resulting in that the production cost was high and the operation in the production could not be controlled easily.

The specific reaction scheme is as follows:

Example 8 The preparation of (2R,5S)-4-amino-1-(2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-oxathiolane-5-yl) -2(1H)-pyrimidone (Lamivudine)

The compound of Example 7 (41.0g, 0.1mol) and methanol (250ml) were added to a reaction flask, and then stirred to make the compound dissolved in methanol. The mixture was cooled to 0 °C, and then K₂CO₃ (41.2g, 0.3mol) was added. The mixture was further stirred at room temperature overnight and then was adjusted by 0.1N HCl to a pH of about 7. The mixture was filtered and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure from the filtrate, and then to the residue was added 150ml of water. The aqueous layer was extracted by 150ml of toluene (50ml X 3), and then p-nitrobenzoic acid (16.8g, 0.1mol) was added to the aqueous layer and refluxed for 30 minutes, after which, the reaction mixture was cooled and further stirred at 0-5 °C for 2 hours. Then the reaction mixture was filtered and dried to give 31.7g of a white solid.
The resulting salt and anhydrous ethanol (120ml) were added to a reaction flask, and warmed to 70-75 °C. Triethylamine (12ml) was added dropwise, and the reaction was conducted at that temperature for 2 hours. Then the mixture was cooled to 50 °C, at which point ethyl acetate (150ml) was added dropwsie. After the addition was complete, the mixture was cooled to 10 °C and further stirred for 4 hours. The mixture was filtered to give 15.6g of Lamivudine, and the yield was 68%. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ: 7.83(dd, 1H), 7.17∼7.23(dd, 2H), 6.21(t, 1H), 5.72 (dd, 1H), 5.29 (t, 2H), 5.16 (t, 1H), 3.70∼3.74 (m, 2H), 3.32∼3.43 (dd, 1H), 3.01∼3.05(dd, 1H); Elemental analysis: C8H11N3O3S found(%): C 41.85, H 4.88 N 18.25, S 13.94; calculated (%) C 41.91, H 4.84, N 18.33, S13.99.

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.

A schematic shows a trioxacarcin C molecule, whose structure was revealed for the first time through a new process developed by the Rice lab of synthetic organic chemist K.C. Nicolaou. Trioxacarcins are found in bacteria but synthetic versions are needed to study them for their potential as medications. Trioxacarcins have anti-cancer 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.

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.

Selective Glycosylation of the C4 Hydroxyl Group

[00467] 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone ( 19.9 mg, 88 μιτιοΐ, 1.1 equiv) was added to a vigorously stirring, biphasic solution of differentially protected trioxacarcin precursor (60 mg, 80 μιτιοΐ, 1 equiv) in dichloromethane ( 1.1 mL) and pH 7 phosphate buffer (220 μί) at 23 °C. The reaction flask was covered with aluminum foil to exclude light. Over the course of 3 h, the reaction mixture was observed to change from myrtle green to lemon yellow. The product solution was partitioned between water (5 mL) and dichloromethane (50 mL). The layers were separated. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. The dried solution was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by preparatory HPLC (Agilent Prep-C 18 column, 10 μιτι, 30 x 150 mm, UV detection at 270 nm, gradient elution with 40→90% acetonitrile in water, flow rate: 15 mL/min) to provide 33 mg of the product as a yellow-green powder (65%).

[00468] Trimethylsilyl triflate ( 10% in dichloromethane, 28.3 μί, 16 μπιοΐ, 0.3 equiv) was added to a suspension of deprotected trioxacarcin precursor (33 mg, 52 μπιοΐ, 1 equiv), 1 -0- acetyltrioxacarcinose A ( 14.1 mg, 57 μιτιοΐ, 1.1 equiv), and powdered 4- A molecular sieves (-50 mg) in dichloromethane (1 .0 mL) at -78 °C. After 5 min, the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane containing 10% triethylamine and 10% methanol (3 mL). The reaction flask was allowed to warm to 23 °C. The mixture was filtered and partitioned between

dichloromethane (40 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (5 mL). The layers were separated. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. The dried solution was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by preparatory HPLC (Agilent Prep-C 18 column, 10 μπι, 30 x 150 mm, UV detection at 270 nm, gradient elution with 40→90% acetonitrile in water, flow rate: 15 mL/min) to provide 20 mg of the product as a yellow-green powder (47%).

General Glycosylation Procedure of the C13 Hydroxyl Group

[00471] Crushed 4-A molecular sieves (-570 mg / 1 mmol sugar donor) was added to a stirring solution of the sugar acceptor (1 equiv.) and the sugar donor (30.0 equiv.) in dichloromethane ( 1.6 mL / 1 mmol sugar donor) and diethylether (0.228 mL / 1 mmol sugar donor) at 23 °C. The bright yellow mixture was stirred for 90 min at 23 °C and finally cooled to -78 °C. TMSOTf (10.0 equiv.) was added over the course of 10 min at -78 °C. After 4 h, a second portion of TMSOTf (5.0 equiv.) was added at -78 °C and stirring was continued for 1 h. The last portion of TMSOTf (5 equiv.) was added. After 1 h, triethylamine (20 equiv.) was added and the reaction the product mixture was filtered through a short column of silica gel deactivated with triethylamine (30% ethyl acetate-hexanes initially, grading to 50% ethyl acetate-hexanes). H NMR analysis of the residue showed minor sugar donor remainings and that the sugar acceptor had been glycosylated. The residue was purified by preparatory HPLC (Agilent Prep-C 18 column, 10 μπι, 30 x 150 mm, UV detection at 270 nm, gradient elution with 40→100% acetonitrile in water, flow rate: 15 mL/min) to provide the glycosylation product as a bright yellow oil

Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate

For full details see end of page

PAPER

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.

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).

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.

(-)-(lR)-7,7-dimethyl- 2-oxo-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-l-methanesulfonic acid (353.2 g) was added and the mixture became homogeneous after 10 minutes. The mixture was first stirred for 18 hours at 20°C and then for 3 hours at 0-5°C. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with 2-propanone/water 95/5 (150 ml) and dried, yielding 308.9 g (36.2%) of product A sample (306.7 g) was partitioned between dichloromethane (500 ml) and water (750 ml). Ammonium hydroxide (100 ml) was added. This mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted twice with dichloromethane (250 ml each time). The separated organic layer was washed with water (250 ml), dried, filtered and the solvent was evaporated, yielding 179.7 g of (-)-(B)-4-[(3-chlorophenyl)-

20 lH-imidazol-l-ylmethyl]-2-nitrobenzenamine; mp. 89.8°C; [α]_D = -19.80° (c = 0.5% in methanol) (interm. 1). b) A mixture of intermediate (1)(179.7 g) in methanol (656 ml) and a solution of ammonia in methanol (32.7 ml) was hydrogenated at 20-25 °C with platinum on activated carbon (13.1 g) as a catalyst in the presence of thiophene (0.27 g). After uptake of hydrogen (3 eq.) the catalyst was filtered off and washed with 2-propanol (30 ml). A solution of hydrochloric acid in 2-propanol (522 ml) was added to the filtrate at <30°C.

Originator Orion

Developer Bayer HealthCare; Orion

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 GABA_A 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 (K_i = 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 (K_i) 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

All data points are means of triplicates ±SEM. IC₅₀ values are presented in parentheses.

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.
