The present invention encompasses solid state forms of Ibrutinib, including forms G, J and K, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof.

Ibrutinib, l-{(3R)-3- [4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-lH-pyrazolo [3,4-d] pyrimidin-l-yl] piperidin-l-yl] prop-2-en-l-one, having the following formula,

is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with B-cell lymphoma.

Ibrutinib is described in US 7,514,444 and in US 8,008,309. Solid state forms, including forms A-F and amorphous form of Ibrutinib, are described in WO 2013/184572.

Polymorphism, the occurrence of different crystalline forms, is a property of some molecules and molecular complexes. A single molecule may give rise to a variety of polymorphs having distinct crystal structures and physical properties like melting point, thermal behaviors (e.g. measured by thermogravimetric analysis – “TGA”, or differential scanning calorimetry – “DSC”), X-ray diffraction pattern, infrared absorption fingerprint, and solid state (¹³C-) NMR spectrum. One or more of these techniques may be used to distinguish different polymorphic forms of a compound.

Different salts and solid state forms (including solvated forms) of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may possess different properties. Such variations in the properties of different salts and solid state forms and solvates may provide a basis for improving formulation, for example, by facilitating better processing or handling characteristics, changing the dissolution profile in a favorable direction, or improving stability (polymorph as well as chemical stability) and shelf-life. These variations in the properties of different salts and solid state forms may also offer improvements to the final dosage form, for instance, if they serve to improve bioavailability. Different salts and solid state forms and solvates of an active pharmaceutical ingredient may also give rise to a variety of polymorphs or crystalline forms, which may in turn provide additional opportunities to assess variations in the properties and characteristics of a solid active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Discovering new solid state forms and solvates of a pharmaceutical product may yield materials having desirable processing properties, such as ease of handling, ease of processing, storage stability, and ease of purification, or may serve as desirable intermediate crystal forms that facilitate purification or conversion to other polymorphic forms. New solid state forms of a pharmaceutically useful compound can also provide an opportunity to improve the performance characteristics of a pharmaceutical product. It enlarges the repertoire of materials that a formulation scientist has available for formulation optimization, for example by providing a product with different properties, e.g., a different crystal habit, higher crystallinity or polymorphic stability which may offer better processing or handling characteristics, improved dissolution profile, or improved shelf-life (chemical/physical stability). For at least these reasons, there is a need for additional solid state forms (including solvated forms) of ibrutinib.

Example 1: Preparation of Crystalline Form G of Ibrutinib

[0057] Ibrutinib (0.3 gr, amorphous form) was dissolved in acetic acid (1.2 ml) and the obtained solution was stirred at room temperature overnight followed by the addition of water (2.4 ml). A gum was obtained which was turned into cloudy solution upon stirring. The obtained cloudy solution was stirred for 9 days at room temperature and the obtained precipitate was collected by suction filtration. The obtained solid was dried in an oven at 40°C under vacuum for 16h to obtain form G of Ibrutinib (0.12g), as confirmed by XRPD.

Example 2: Preparation of Crystalline Form J of Ibrutinib

Ibrutinib (5.2 g) was dissolved in Anisole (15 ml), the solution was stirred at room temperature until precipitation was occurred. The slurry was stirred over night at room temperature and the precipitate was collected by suction filtration. The cake was dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C overnight. The obtained product was analyzed by XRPD and found to be form J.

Example 3: Preparation of Crystalline Form J of Ibrutinib

Ibrutinib (10.5 g) was dissolved in Anisole (21 ml) and MTBE (32 ml), the solution was stirred at room temperature until precipitation was occurred . The slurry was heated to reflux and was gradually cooled to room temperature. After 3 hours the precipitate was collected by suction filtration. The obtained product was analyzed by XRPD and found to be form J.

Example 4: Preparation of Crystalline Form G of Ibrutinib

A I L reactor was charged with Ibrutinib (100 g), acetonitrile (417.5 ml_), water (417.5 ml_) and acetic acid (27.15 g). The mixture was heated to 90°C until dissolution; the solution was gradually cooled to 0°C, then heated to 25°C and stirred over 48 hours at 25°C. The obtained slurry was filtered and washed with water (100 ml_). The product was dried overnight in a vacuum oven at 40°C to obtain Ibrutinib form G (72.9 g), as confirmed by XRPD.

Example 5: Preparation of Crystalline Form G of Ibrutinib

A 250 mL round flask was charged with isopropanol (10 ml_) and water (120 ml_), and a solution of Ibrutinib (10 g) in Acetic acid (40 mL) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 25°C for 48 hours. The obtained slurry was filtered and the wet product was slurried in water (50 mL) for 5 min and filtered again. The obtained product was dried under vacuum at room temp in the presence of a N₂ atmosphere and found to be form G, as confirmed by XRPD.

Example 6: Preparation of Crystalline Form K of Ibrutinib

Ibrutinib (10 g) was dissolved in toluene (50 mL) and dimethylformamide (DMA) (30 mL) at room temperature, the solution was heated to 50 °C and water (30 mL) was added. The phases were separated and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (30 mL) was added to the organic phase. The solution was cooled in an ice bath and seeded with amorphous Ibrutinib. After further stirring at the same temperature the obtained slurry was filtered under vacuum. The obtained solid was analyzed by XRPD and found to be Form K (Figure 5).

The present invention provides a process for the preparation of 4-fluoro-2- methylbenzonitrile of Formula (II), and its use for the preparation of trelagliptin or its salts. The present invention provides an efficient, simple, and commercially friendly process for the preparation of 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile, which is used as an intermediate for the preparation of trelagliptin or its salts. The present invention avoids the use of toxic and hazardous reagents, high boiling solvents, and bromo intermediates such as 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene, which is lachrymatory in nature and thus difficult to handle at a commercial scale.

Trelagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor, chemically designated as 2- [[6-[(3i?)-3 -aminopiperidin- 1 -yl] -3 -methyl -2,4-dioxopyrimidin- 1 -yljmethyl] -4-fluorobenzonitrile, represented by Formula I.

Formula I

Trelagliptin is administered as a succinate salt of Formula la, chemically designated as 2-[[6-[(3i?)-3-aminopiperidin-l-yl]-3-methyl-2,4-dioxopyrimidin-l-yl]methyl]-4-fluorobenzonitrile butanedioic acid (1 : 1).

Formula la

U.S. Patent Nos. 7,795,428, 8,288,539, and 8,222,411 provide a process for the preparation of 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile by reacting 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene with copper (I) cyanide in N,N-dimethylformamide.

Chinese Patent No. CN 102964196 provides a process for the preparation of 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile by reacting 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzyl alcohol with cuprous iodide in the presence of 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine oxide (TEMPO) in an anhydrous ethanol.

Copper (I) cyanide is toxic to humans, and therefore its use in the manufacture of a drug substance is not advisable. In addition, 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene is converted to 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile by refluxing in N,N-dimethylformamide at 152°C to 155°C for 24 hours. This leads to some charring, resulting in a tedious work-up process and low yield. Furthermore, the use of reagents like cuprous iodide, 2,2′-bipyridine, and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine oxide (TEMPO) is hazardous and/or environmentally-unfriendly, and therefore their use in the manufacture of a drug substance is not desirable.

The present invention provides an efficient, simple, and commercially friendly process for the preparation of 4-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile, which is used as an intermediate for the preparation of trelagliptin or its salts. The present invention avoids the use of toxic and hazardous reagents, high boiling solvents, and bromo intermediates such as 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene, which is lachrymatory in nature and thus difficult to handle at a commercial scale.

J ANTIBIOTICS 1987, 40, PG 567-574 AND 575-588

Idaxomicin(trade names Dificid, Dificlir, and previously OPT-80 and PAR-101) is the first in a new class of narrow spectrum macrocyclic antibiotic drugs.^[2] It is a fermentation product obtained from the actinomycete Dactylosporangium aurantiacum subspecies hamdenesis.^[3]^[4] Fidaxomicin is non-systemic, meaning it is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, it is bactericidal, and it has demonstrated selective eradication of pathogenic Clostridium difficile with minimal disruption to the multiple species of bacteria that make up the normal, healthy intestinal flora. The maintenance of normal physiological conditions in the colon can reduce the probability of Clostridium difficile infection recurrence.^[5] ^[6]

Fidaxomicin is an antibiotic approved and launched in 2011 in the U.S. for the treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) in adults 18 years of age and older. In September 2011, the product received a positive opinion in the E.U. and final approval was assigned in December 2011.

First E.U. launch took place in the U.K. in June 2012. Optimer Pharmaceuticals, now part of Cubist (now, Merck & Co.), is conducting phase III clinical trials for the prevention of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant

In 2014 Astellas initiated in Europe a phase III clinical study for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection in pediatric patients. Preclinical studies are ongoing for potential use in the prevention of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) infection.

The compound is a novel macrocyclic antibiotic that is produced by fermentation. Its narrow-spectrum activity is highly selective for C. difficile, thus preserving gut microbial ecology, an important consideration for the treatment of CDAD.

It is marketed by Cubist Pharmaceuticals after acquisition of its originating company Optimer Pharmaceuticals. The target use is for treatment of Clostridium difficile infection.

In May 2005, Par Pharmaceutical and Optimer entered into a joint development and collaboration agreement for fidaxomicin. However, rights to the compound were returned to Optimer in 2007. The compound was granted fast track status by the FDA in 2003. In 2010, orphan drug designation was assigned to fidaxomicin in the U.S. by Optimer Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of pediatric Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). In 2011, the compound was licensed by Optimer Pharmaceuticals to Astellas Pharma in Europe and certain countries in the Middle East, Africa, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Japan for the treatment of CDAD. In 2011, fidaxomicin was licensed to Cubist by Optimer Pharmaceuticals for comarketing in the U.S. for the treatment of CDAD. In July 2012, the product was licensed by Optimer Pharmaceuticals to Specialised Therapeutics Australia in AU and NZ for the treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated infection. OBI Pharma holds exclusive commercial rights in Taiwan, where the compound was approved for the treatment of CDAD in September 2012, and in December 2012, the product was licensed to AstraZeneca in South America with commercialization rights also for the treatment of CDAD. In October 2013, Optimer Pharmaceuticals was acquired by Cubist.

Fidaxomicin is available in a 200 mg tablet that is administered every 12 hours for a recommended duration of 10 days. Total duration of therapy should be determined by the patient’s clinical status. It is currently one of the most expensive antibiotics approved for use. A standard course costs upwards of £1350.^[7]

The major component of the tiacumicin complex is tiacumicin B. Optically pure R-tiacumicin B is the most active component of Fidaxomicin. The chiral center at C(19) of tiacumicinB affects biological activity, and R-tiacumicin B has an R-hydroxyl group attached at this position. The isomer displayed significantly higher activity than other tiacumicin B-related compounds and longer post-antibiotic activity.

Tiacumicins are a family of structurally related compounds that contain the 18-membered macrolide ring shown below.

At present, several distinct Tiacumicins have been identified and six of these

(Tiacumicin A-F) are defined by their particular pattern of substituents R¹, R², and R³ (US Patent No. 4,918,174; J. Antibiotics, 1987, 575-588).

The Lipiarmycins are a family of natural products closely related to the Tiacumicins. Two members of the Lipiarmycin family (A3 and B3) are identical to Tiacumicins B and C respectively (J. Antibiotics, 1988, 308-315; J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans 1, 1987, 1353-1359).

The Tiacumicins and the Lipiarmycins have been characterized by numerous physical methods. The reported chemical structures of these compounds are based on spectroscopy (UV-vis, IR and ^!H and ¹³C NMR), mass spectrometry and elemental analysis (See for example: J. Antibiotics, 1987, 575-588; J. Antibiotics, 1983, 1312-

1322).

Tiacumicins are produced by bacteria, including Dactylosporangium aurantiacum subspecies hamdenensis, which may be obtained from the ARS Patent Collection of the Northern Regional Research Center, United States Department ofAgriculture, 1815 North University Street, Peoria, IL 61604, accession number NRRL

18085. The characteristics of strain AB 718C-41 are given in J. Antibiotics, 1987,567-574 and US Patent No. 4,918,174.

Lipiarmycins are produced by bacteria including Actinoplanes deccanensis (US Patent No. 3,978,211). Taxonomical studies of type strain A/10655, which has been deposited in the ATCC under the number 21983, are discussed in J. Antibiotics,1975, 247-25.

Tiacumicins, specifically Tiacumicin B, show activity against a variety of bacterial pathogens and in particular against Clostridium difficile, a Gram-positive bacterium (Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 1991, 1108-1111). Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic spore-forming bacterium that causes an infection of the bowel.

Fidaxomicin is bactericidal and acts via inhibition of RNA synthesis by bacterial RNA polymerase at a distinct site from that of rifamycins. The drug product is poorly absorbed and exerts its activity in the gastrointestinal (Gl) tract, which is an advantage when used in the applied indication, treatment of C. difficile infection (CDI) (also known as C. difficile-associated disease or diarrhoea [CDAD]). Fidaxomicin is available as DIFICID oral tablet in US market.

Its CAS chemical name is Oxacyclooctadeca-3,5,9, 13, 15-pentaen-2-one, 3-[[[6-deoxy-4-0-(3,5dichloro-2-ethyl-4,6-dihydroxybenzoyl)-2-0-methyl-P-D-manno pyranosyl]oxy]methyl]-12[[6-deoxy-5-C-methyl-4-0-(2-methyl-1 -oxopropyl)- -D-lyxo-hexo pyranosyl]oxy]-1 1 -ethyl-8-hydroxy-18-[(1 R)-1 -hydroxyethyl] -9,13,15-trimethyl-, (3E.5E, 8S.9E.1 1 S.12R.13E, 15E.18S)-.

Structural formula (I) describes the absolute stereochemistry of fidaxomicin as determined by x-ray.

(I)

WIPO publication number 2004014295 discloses a process for preparation of Tiacumicins that comprises fermentation of Dactylosporangium aurantiacum NRRL18085 in suitable culture medium. It also provides process for isolation of tiacumicin from fermentation broth using techniques selected from the group consisting of: sieving and removing undesired material by eluting with at least one solvent or a solvent mixture; extraction with at least one solvent or a solvent mixture; Crystallization; chromatographic separation; High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC); MPLC; trituration; and extraction with saturated brine with at least one solvent or a solvent mixture. The product was isolated from /so-propyl alcohol (IPA) having a melting point of 166-169 °C.

U.S. Patent No. 7378508 B2 discloses polymorphic forms A and B of fidaxomicin, solid dosage forms of the two forms and composition thereof. As per the ‘508 patent form A is obtained from methanol water mixture and Form B is obtained from ethyl acetate.

J. Antibiotics, vol. 40(5), 575-588 (1987) discloses purification of Tiacumicins using suitable solvents wherein tiacumicin B exhibited a melting point of 143-145 °C.

PCT application WO2013170142A1 describes three crystalline forms of Fidaxomicn namely, Form-Z, Form-Z1 and Form-C. IN2650/CHE/2013 describes 6 crystalline polymorphic forms of Fidaxomicin namely, Forms I, Form la, Form II, Form Ha, Form III and Form Ilia).

Mechanism

Fidaxomicin binds to and prevents movement of the “switch regions” of bacterial RNAP polymerase. Switch motion is important for opening and closing of the DNA:RNA clamp, a process that occurs throughout RNA transcription but especially during opening of double standed DNA during transcription initiation.^[8] It has minimal systemic absorption and a narrow spectrum of activity; it is active against Gram positive bacteria especially clostridia. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) range for C. difficile (ATCC 700057) is 0.03–0.25 μg/mL.^[3]

Clinical trials

Good results were reported by the company in 2009 from a North American phase III trial comparing it with oral vancomycin for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI)^[9]^[10] The study met its primary endpoint of clinical cure, showing that fidaxomicin was non-inferior to oral vancomycin (92.1% vs. 89.8%). In addition, the study met its secondary endpoint of recurrence: 13.3% of the subjects had a recurrence with fidaxomicin vs. 24.0% with oral vancomycin. The study also met its exploratory endpoint of global cure (77.7% for fidaxomicin vs. 67.1% for vancomycin).^[11] Clinical cure was defined as patients requiring no further CDI therapy two days after completion of study medication. Global cure was defined as patients who were cured at the end of therapy and did not have a recurrence in the next four weeks.^[12]

Fidaxomicin was shown to be as good as the current standard-of-care, vancomycin, for treating CDI in a Phase III trial published in February 2011.^[13] The authors also reported significantly fewer recurrences of infection, a frequent problem with C. difficile, and similar drug side effects.

Approvals and indications

For the treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), the drug won an FDA advisory panel’s unanimous approval on April 5, 2011^[14] and full FDA approval on May 27, 2011.^[15]

The first enantioselective total synthesis of fidaxomicin, also known as tiacumicin B or lipiarmycin A3, is reported. This novel glycosylated macrolide antibiotic is used in the clinic for the treatment of Clostridium difficile infections. Key features of the synthesis involve a rapid and high-yielding access to the noviose, rhamnose, and orsellinic acid precursors; the first example of a β-selective noviosylation; an effective Suzuki coupling of highly functionalized substrates; and a ring-closing metathesis reaction of a noviosylated dienoate precursor. Careful selection of protecting groups allowed for a complete deprotection yielding totally synthetic fidaxomicin.

The identity of the synthetic compound to an authentic sample of fidaxomicin (1) was confirmed by coinjection on RP-HPLC and an equimolar mixed NMR-sample with an authentic sample. Rƒ = 0.44 (MeOH/CH2Cl2 1/10).

The term “Tiacumicin B” refers to molecule having the structure shown below:

Example 1

Dactylosporangium aurantiacum subsp. hamdenensis AB 718C-41 NRRL 18085 (-20 °C stock), was maintained on 1 mL of Medium No. 104 (Table 1). After standard sterilization conditions (30 min., 121 °C, 1.05 kg/cm²) the seed flask (250 mL) containing Medium No. 104 (50 mL) was inoculated with AB 718C-41 NRRL 18085 on a shaker (set @ 250 rpm) at 30 °C for 72 hr. Five percent vegetative inoculum from the first passage seed flask was then transferred aseptically to a fermentation flask containing the same ingredients as in Table 1.

Table 1: Ingredients of Medium No. 104

Fermentation flasks were incubated on a rotary shaker at 30 °C for 3 to 12 days. Samples of the whole culture fermentation broth were filtered. The filter cake was washed with MeOH and solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was re-constituted in methanol to the same volume of the original fermentation broth. Analysis was performed using a Waters BREEZE HPLC system coupling with Waters 2487 2-channel UV/Vis detector. Tiacumincins were assayed on a 50 x 4.6 μm I.D., 5 μm YMC ODS-A column (YMC catalog # CCA AS05- 0546WT) with a mobile phase consisting of 45% acetonitrile in water containing 0.1% phosphoric acid at a flow rate of 1.5 mL/minute. Tiacumicins were detected at 266 nm. An HPLC chromatogram of a crude product (Tiacumicin B retention time @ 12.6 minutes) is shown in Fig. 1. In this example the crude yield of Tiacumicin B was about 250 mg/L after 7 days. After purification by HPLC, the yield of Tiacumicin B was about 100 mg/L.

Example 2

After standard sterilization conditions (30 min, 121 °C, 1.05 kg/cm²) the seed flask (250 mL) containing Medium No. 104 (50 mL) was inoculated with AB 718C- 41 NRRL 18085 and incubated on a shaker (set @ 250 rpm) at 30° C for 72 hr. Five percent vegetative inoculum from the first passage seed flask was transferred aseptically to a seed flask containing the same ingredients as in Table 1 and was incubated on a rotary shaker at 30 °C for 72 hr. Five percent inoculum from the second passage seed flasks was then used to inoculate with AB 718C-41 NRRL 18085 in a 5-liter fermenter containing Medium No. 104 (2.5 L). Excessive foam formation was controlled by the addition of an antifoaming agent (Sigma A-6426). This product is a mixture of non-silicone organic defoamers in a polyol dispersion.

Glucose consumption was monitored as a growth parameter and its level was controlled by the addition of the feeding medium. Feeding medium and conditions in Example 2 were as follows:

Feeding medium:

Fermenter Medium: No. 104

Fermenter Volume: 5 liters

Sterilization: 40 minutes, 121° C, 1.05 kg/cm²

Incubation Temperature: 30 °C.

Aeration rate: 0.5-1.5 volumes of air per culture volume and minute

Fermenter Agitation: 300-500 rpm

The fermentation was carried out for 8 days and the XAD-16 resin was separated from the culture broth by sieving. After washing with water the XAD-16 resin was eluted with methanol (5-10 x volume of XAD-16). Methanol was evaporated and the oily residue was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The extracts were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure to an oily residue. The oily residue was dried and washed with hexane to give the crude product as a pale brown powder and its HPLC chromatogram (Tiacumincin B rete tion time @ 11.8 minutes) is shown in Figure 2. This was purified by silica gel column (mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane as eluent) and the resultant material was further purified by RP-HPLC (reverse phase HPLC) to give Tiacumicin B as a white solid. The purity was determined to be >95% by HPLC chromatography and the chromatogram (Tiacumincin B retention time @ 12.0 minutes) is shown in Figure 3. Analysis of the isolated Tiacumincin B gave identical ^!H and ¹³C NMR data to those reported in J. Antibiotics, 1987, 575-588, and these are summarized below.

EXAMPLES

Example 1; General procedure for the preparation of crude Fidaxomycin

Fidaxomycin was prepared by:

i) culturing a microorganism in a nutrient medium to accumulate Fidaxomycin in the nutrient medium;

ii) isolating crude Fidaxomycin from the nutrient medium by methods known from the art;

iii) purifying Fidaxomycin by reversed phase chromatography using a mixture of acetonitrile, water and acetic acid as eluent; and iv) isolating the purified Fidaxomycin from the fractions.

Actionplanes deccanenesis was used during the cultivation. The nutrient medium comprises the following combination based on weight: from about 0% to about 5% Sucrose; from about 0% to about 3% Starch; from about 0.1% to about 1.0 % Soy peptone; from about 2% to about 5% Cotton seed meal; from about 0.01% to about 0.1% Potassium-dihydrogen Phosphate; from about 0.05% to about 0.5% Dipotassium-hydrogen Phosphate; from about 0.05% to about 0.5% Antifoam agent; from about 0% to about 2% Amberlite XAD-16N resin. The preferred temperature of the cultivation is from 28 to 32°C, and the pH is between 6.0 and 8.0. During the cultivation C-source is continuously fed.

The Fidaxomycin fermentation production can also be done by the following procedure:

The Fidaxomycin fermentation production can include a step of inoculation followed by fermentation as follows:

Inoculation: Actinoplanes deccanenesis strain is inoculated into the seed medium. The inoculation parameters are adjusted and maintained until the inoculum transferred to the main fermentation. The inoculum medium comprises: from about 0 to about 5% glucose, from about 0 to about 1% yeast extract, from about 0 to about 1% soy peptone, from about 0 to about 0.5% CaCo₃, from about 0 to about 0.2% MgS0 -7H₂0, from about 0 to about 0.2% K₂HP0₄, from about 0 to about 0.2% KC1, from about 0 to about 0.3% Polypropylene glycol. The pH is adjusted by adding Hydrochloric acid and/or Sodium/potassium hydroxide.

Inoculation parameters :

Inoculation time: 40-48 ± 24 hours.

At the end of the inoculation, the inoculum (or a part of it) is transferred into the sterile fermentation medium at a ratio of 8-15 ± 5 %.

Fermentation: the fermentation medium comprises: from about 0 to aboutl0% Sucrose/Hydrolyzed Starch, from about 0 to about 1% Soy peptone, from about 0 to about 5% Cotton seed meal, from about 0 to about 0.3% K₂HP0₄, from about 0 to about 0.2% KH₂P0₄, from about 0 to aboutl% KC1, from about 0 to about 0.5% Polypropylene glycol (PPG). The pH is adjusted by adding Hydrochloric acid and/or Sodium/potassium hydroxide.

The sterile fermentation medium is seeded with the inoculum.

Feeding:

C-source is fed during the fermentation, For C-source feeding sucrose or hydrolyzed-starch can be applied. Total amount of fed C-source is 0 – 15% related to the initial volume.

Fermentation parameters :

In case of foaming, sterile antifoaming agent should be added.

Fermentation time: 168-192 ± 24 hours.

The inoculation/fermentation medium may also include from about 0% to about 2% Amberlite XAD-16N resin.

Upon completion of fermentation, the Fidaxomycin is extracted from the fermented broth with an organic solvent such as, for example, ethyl acetate, isobutyl acetate or isobutanol. The organic phase is concentrated and the Fidaxomycin is precipitated by addition of an antisolvent such as, for example, n-hexane. Optionally the precipitate can be suspended in a second antisolvent. After filtration and drying, crude Fidaxomycin is obtained.

DIFICID (fidaxomicin) is a macrolide antibacterial drug for oral administration. Its CAS chemical name is Oxacyclooctadeca-3,5,9,13,15-pentaen-2-one, 3-[[[6-deoxy-4-O-(3,5-dichloro-2-ethyl-4,6-dihydroxybenzoyl)-2-Omethyl- β-D- mannopyranosyl]oxy]methyl]-12-[[6-deoxy-5-C-methyl-4-O-(2-methyl-1-oxopropyl)-β-D-lyxohexopyranosyl] oxy]-11-ethyl-8 -hydroxy-18-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-9,13,15-trimethyl-,(3E,5E,8S,9E,11S,12R,13E,15E,18S)-.

Aspects of the present application relate to crystalline forms of Fidaxomicin IV, V & VI and processes for their preparation. Further aspects relate to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these polymorphic forms of fidaxomicin

The occurrence of different crystal forms, i.e., polymorphism, is a property of some compounds. A single molecule may give rise to a variety of polymorphs having distinct crystal structures and physico-chemical properties.

Polymorphs are different solid materials having the same molecular structure but different molecular arrangement in the crystal lattice, yet having distinct physico-chemical properties when compared to other polymorphs of the same molecular structure. The discovery of new polymorphs and solvates of a pharmaceutical active compound provides an opportunity to improve the performance of a drug product in terms of its bioavailability or release profile in vivo, or it may have improved stability or advantageous handling properties. Polymorphism is an unpredictable property of any given compound. This subject has been reviewed in recent articles, including A. Goho, “Tricky Business,” Science News, August 21 , 2004. In general, one cannot predict whether there will be more than one form for a compound, how many forms will eventually be discovered, or how to prepare any previously unidentified form.

There remains a need for additional polymorphic forms of fidaxomicin and for processes to prepare polymorphic forms in an environmentally-friendly, cost-effective, and industrially applicable manner.

The 10-member board at pharmaceutical major Dr Reddy’s thrives on diversity. Liberally sprinkled with gray hairs, who are never quite impressed with powerpoint presentations, “they want information to be pre-loaded so that the following discussions (at the board level) are fruitful,” says Satish Reddy, Chairman, Dr Reddy’s. That said, the company has now equipped its board members with a customized application (that runs on their tablets) to manage board agenda and related processes.

Fidaxomicin (also known as OPT-80 and PAR-101 ) is a novel antibiotic agent and the first representative of a new class of antibacterials called macrocycles. Fidaxomicin is a member of the tiacumicin family, which are complexes of 18-membered macrocyclic antibiotics naturally produced by a strain of Dactylosporangium aurantiacum isolated from a soil sample collected in Connecticut, USA. The major component of the tiacumicin complex is tiacumicin B. Optically pure R-tiacumicin B is the most active component of Fidaxomicin. The chiral center at C(19) of tiacumicinB affects biological activity, and R-tiacumicin B has an R-hydroxyl group attached at this position. The isomer displayed significantly higher activity than other tiacumicin B-related compounds and longer post-antibiotic activity.

As per WIPO publication number 2006085838, Fidaxomicin is an isomeric mixture of the configurationally distinct stereoisomers of tiacumicin B, composed of 70 to 100% of R-tiacumicin B and small quantities of related compounds, such as S-tiacumicin B and lipiarmycin A4. Fidaxomicin was produced by fermentation of the D aurantiacum subspecies hamdenensis (strain 718C-41 ). It has a narrow spectrum antibacterial profile mainly directed against Clostridium difficile and exerts a moderate activity against some other gram-positive species. Fidaxomicin is bactericidal and acts via inhibition of RNA synthesis by bacterial RNA polymerase at a distinct site from that of rifamycins. The drug product is poorly absorbed and exerts its activity in the gastrointestinal (Gl) tract, which is an advantage when used in the applied indication, treatment of C. difficile infection (CDI) (also known as C. difficile-associated disease or diarrhoea [CDAD]). Fidaxomicin is available as DIFICID oral tablet in US market. Its CAS chemical name is Oxacyclooctadeca-3,5,9, 13, 15-pentaen-2-one, 3-[[[6-deoxy-4-0-(3,5dichloro-2-ethyl-4,6-dihydroxybenzoyl)-2-0-methyl-P-D-manno pyranosyl]oxy]methyl]-12[[6-deoxy-5-C-methyl-4-0-(2-methyl-1 -oxopropyl)- -D-lyxo-hexo pyranosyl]oxy]-1 1 -ethyl-8-hydroxy-18-[(1 R)-1 -hydroxyethyl] -9,13,15-trimethyl-, (3E.5E, 8S.9E.1 1 S.12R.13E, 15E.18S)-. Structural formula (I) describes the absolute stereochemistry of fidaxomicin as determined by x-ray.

(I)

J. Antibiotics, vol. 40(5), 575-588 (1987) discloses purification of Tiacumicins using suitable solvents wherein tiacumicin B exhibited a melting point of 143-145 °C.

There remains a need for additional polymorphic forms of fidaxomicin and for processes to prepare polymorphic forms in an environmentally-friendly, cost-effective, and industrially applicable manner.

The present invention relates to a novel process for preparation of Mirabegron of Formula (I) using intermediates of Formula (II), (IIIa), (Illb) and (IV).

The present invention relates to a process for preparation of Mirabegron of Formula

(I).

Formula (I)

The present invention further relates to the preparation of Mirabegron of Formula (I) by using compounds of Formula (II), (Ilia), (Illb) and (IV)

Formula (II)

Formula (IlIa) Formula (Illb)

Formula (IV)

Furthermore, the present invention relates to process for preparation of compound of Formula (II), (Ilia), (Illb) and (IV).

Background of the invention:

Mirabegron is chemically known as 2-amino-N-[4-[2-[[(2R)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl]amino]ethyl]phenyl]-4-thiazoleactamide and is marketed under trade name Myrbetiq.

Mirabegron is a drug used for treatment of overactive bladder. It was first disclosed in US 6,346,532, wherein (R)-Styrene oxide is reacted with 4-nitrophenyl ethyl amine hydrochloride to obtain (R)-l- phenyl-2-[[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]amino]ethanol, the later is then protected with BOC anhydride and subjected to reduction in the presence of Pd/C to yield N-[2-(4-Aminophenyl)ethyl]-N-[(2R)-2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyljcarbamic acid tert-butyl ester. Thus formed compound was then coupled with (2-amino-l,3-thiazol-4yl) acetic acid to obtain BOC protected Mirabegron which is de-protected to give Mirabegron hydrochloride.

The synthetic route proposed in US 6,346,532 is presented in Scheme-I.

Scheme-I

The major draw-backs of the presented synthetic scheme are as follows:

1. Less atomic efficiency

2. Low yield and extensive impurities formations

3. Use of expensive and sensitive protecting agents

4. Column chromatographic techniques for purifications of intermediates.

One more synthetic route for the preparation of Mirabegron have been proposed US 6,346,532, however it is not exemplified.

US 7,342,117 disclose a process for preparation of Mirabegron. The process involves the step of condensation of 4-nitrophenyl ethylamine and (R)- mandelic acid in presence of tri ethylamine, hydroxybentriazole and l-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethyl carbodiimide in N,N-dimethylformamide to obtain compound of Formula (A). The second step involves conversion of compound of Formula (A) to compound of Formula (B) in presence of l,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidone and borontetrahydro fluoride in tetrahydrofuran.

Fosfluconazole (INN) is a water-soluble phosphate prodrug of fluconazole – a triazole antifungal drug used in the treatment and prevention of superficial and systemic fungal infections. The phosphate ester bond is hydrolysed by the action of a phosphatase – an enzyme that removes a phosphate group from its substrate by hydrolysing phosphoric acid monoesters into a phosphate ion and a molecule with a free hydroxyl group (see dephosphorylation).

Fosfluconazole was approved by Pharmaceuticals and Medicals Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA) on Oct 16, 2003. It was developed and marketed as Prodif^® by Pfizer in Japan.

Fosfluconazole is a water-soluble phosphate prodrug of fluconazole – a triazole antifungal drug. It is indicated for the treatment of candida and cryptococcus infections.

Prodif^® is available as solution for intravenous use, containing 100, 200 or 400 mg of free Fosfluconazole per vial. The recommended dose is 50 to 100 mg administered intravenously once daily for candidiasis. Another dose is 50 to 200 mg fluconazole once daily for cryptococcosis.

PHASE 2

Systemic fungal diseases (systemic mycoses) are typically chronic conditions that develop very slowly. These diseases are often induced by opportunistic causative fungi that are not normally pathogenic and commonly live in the patient’s body or are commonly found in the environment. While systemic fungal diseases used to be relatively rare in temperate countries, there has been an increasing incidence of numerous life-threatening systemic fungal infections that now represent a major threat to susceptible patients. Susceptible patients include immunocompromised patients, particularly those already hospitalized, and patients compromised by HIV infection, ionizing irradiation, corticosteroids, immunosuppressives, invasive surgical techniques, prolonged exposure to antimicrobial agents, and the like, or by diseases or conditions such as cancer, leukemia, emphysema, bronchiectasis, diabetes mellitus, burns, and the like. The symptoms manifested by these fungal diseases are generally not intense, and may include chills, fever, weight loss, anorexia, malaise, and depression.
The most common systemic fungal infections in humans are blastomycosis, candidosis, aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, paracoccidioidomycosis, and cryptococcosis.
Fungal diseases are often confined to typical anatomic sites, and many involve a primary focus in the lung, with more characteristic manifestations of specific fungal infections appearing once the infection spreads from a primary site. For example, blastomycosis primarily involves the lungs, and occasionally spreads to the skin. Similarly, the primary form of coccidioidomycosis occurs as an acute, benign, self-limiting respiratory disease, which can then progress to a chronic, often-fatal infection of the skin, lymph glands, liver, and spleen. Other infectious diseases such as paracoccidioidomycosis and candidiasis present in different manners, and depending on the etiology, may exhibit several forms involving internal organs, the lymph nodes, skin, and mucous membranes. Diagnosis of specific fungal diseases can be made by isolation of the causative fungus from various specimens, such as sputum, urine, blood, or the bone marrow, or with certain fungus types, through evidence of tissue invasion.
Many patients suffering from severe systemic fungal infections are hardly, or not at all, able to receive medication via oral administration, as such patients are often in a coma or suffering from severe gastroparesis. As a result, the use of insoluble or sparingly soluble antifungals such as itraconazole free base, which are difficult to administer intravenously to treat such patients, is significantly impeded.
Local or superficial fungal infections are caused by dermatophytes or fungi that involve the outer layers of the skin, nails, or hair. Such infections may present as a mild inflammation, and can cause alternating remissions and eruptions of a gradually extending, scaling, raised lesion. Yeast infections, such as candidiasis and oral candidiasis (thrush), are usually localized to the skin and mucous membranes, with the symptoms varying depending on the site of infection. In many instances, such infections appear as erythematous, often itchy, exudative patches in the groin, axillas, umbilicus, between toes, and on finger-webs. Oral thrush involves an inflamed tongue or buccal mucosa, typically accompanied by white patches of exudate. Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is manifested in the form of red, pustular, crusted, thickened lesions on the forehead or nose.Itraconazole or (±)-£is-4-[4-[4-[4-[[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(lH-l-2,4-triazol-l- ylmethyl)- 1 ,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl]- 1 -ρiperazinyl]phenyl]-2,4-dihydro-2-( 1 – methyl-propyl)-3H-l,2,4-triazol-3-one, is a broadspectrum antifungal compound developed for oral, parenteral and topical use and is disclosed in US-4,267,179.

Its difluoro analog, saperconazole or (±)-_πs-4-[4-[4-[4-[[2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2- ( 1H- 1 ,2,4-triazol- 1-yl-methyl)- 1 ,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl] – 1 -piperazinyl]- phenyl]-2,4-dihydro-2-(l-methylpropyl)-3H-l,2,4-triazol-3-one, has improved activity against Aspergillus spp. and is disclosed in US-4,916,134. Both compounds exist as a mixture of four stereoisomers.

The development of effϊcaceous pharmaceutical compositions of itraconazole and saperconazole is hampered considerably by the fact that said compounds are only very sparingly soluble in water. The solubility of both compounds can be increased by complexation with cyclodextrins or derivatives thereof as described in WO 85/02767 and US-4,764,604.

Unexpectedly, it has now been found that each of the individual stereoisomers of itraconazole and saperconazole have greater water solubility than the diastereomeric mixtures of said compounds, in particular when complexed with cyclodextrin or its derivatives. As a result, pharmaceutical compositions having good bioavailability, yet comprising less cyclodextrin as a complexing agent, can be prepared. The present invention is concemced with the stereoisomeric forms of itraconazole (X = CI) and saperconazole (X = F), which may be represented by the formula

cis-©,and the pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt forms thereof. The three asterisks indicate the three chiral centers, and ‘cis’ means that the (lH-l,2,4-triazol-l-ylmethyl) moiety and the substituted phenoxy moiety are located at the same side of the plane defined by the 1,3-dioxolane ring.

The four possible stereoisomeric cis forms can be described using various rules of nomenclature. The following tables show the correlation among the C. A. stereochemical descriptor, the absolute configuration at each of the chiral centers and the specific optical

PATENT

WO 2005118577

Itraconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent developed for oral, parenteral and topical use, and is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,267,179. Itraconazole is a synthetic triazole derivative that disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, the primary sterol of fungal cell membranes. This disruption appears to result in increased permeability and leakage of intracellular content, and at high concentration, cellular internal organelles involute, peroxisomes increase, and necrosis occurs.
As set forth in the USP Dictionary of Drug Names and USAN, itraconazole is defined as 4-[4-[4-[4- [[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(lH-l,2,4-triazol-l-ylmethyl)-l,3-dioxolan-4-yl] methoxy]phenyl]-l-piperazinyl]phenyl]- 2,4-dihydro-2-(l-methylpropyl)-3H-l,2,4-triazol-3-one, or alternatively, as (±)-l-5ec-butyl-4-[/7-[4-[/7-[[(2R*,4S*)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(lH-l,2,4-triazol-l-ylmethyl)-l,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methoxy]phenyl]-l-piperazinyl]phenyl]-Δ²-l,2,4-triazolin-5-one. There are three asymmetric carbons in itraconazole: one in the sec-butyl side chain on the triazolone and two in the dioxolane ring. As a result, eight possible stereoisomers of itraconazole exist: (R,R,R), (S,S,S), (R,R,S), (S,S,R), (R,S,S), (R,S,R), (S,R,S), and (S,R,R).
(±)Cz^‘s-Itraconazole comprises a mixture of only those isomers that describe a “cis” relationship in the dioxolane ring, i.e., the (1Η-1, 2, 4-triazol-l-ylmethyl) moiety and the substituted phenoxy moiety are located on the same side of a plane defined by the 1, 3-dioxolane ring. By convention, the first represented chiral center is at the C-2 position of the dioxolane ring, the second is at the C-4 position of the dioxolane ring, and the third is in the sec-butyl group. Hence, (±)c.s-itraconazole is a mixture of (R,S,S), (R,S,R), (S,R,S) and (S,R,R) isomers.
The four possible stereoisomeric cis forms of itraconazole, and
diastereomeric pairs thereof, are described in more detail in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,474,997 and 5,998,413. In general, the individual stereoisomeric forms of c s-itraconazole have antifungal properties, and contribute to the overall activity of (±)cw-itraconazole.
(±)Ciy-Itraconazole free base is only very sparingly soluble in water, and thus it is extremely difficult to prepare effective pharmaceutical compositions containing the same. A number of means have been used to increase the solubility of itraconazole free base, including complexing or co-formulation with cyclodextrins or derivatives thereof, as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,764,604, U.S. Patent No.5,998,413, and U.S. Patent No. 5,707,975, and coating beads with a film comprising a hydrophilic polymer and itraconazole, as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,633,015.
[0014] Another approach to increase solubility of itraconazole focuses on preparation of the stereoisomers of c s-itraconazole, and in particular (2R, 4S) itraconazole, which may comprise a mixture of two diastereomers ((R,S,S) and
(R,S,R)), as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,414,997 and 5,998,413.

Commercially available itraconazole (SPORANOX^® brand (±)cis-itraconazole, Janssen Pharmaceutica Products, L.P., Titusville, NJ, U.S.A.) is a free base and a racemic mixture of the cis isomer in the dioxolane ring and is represented by structural formula (I):

(i)

SPORANOX has been approved for use as an antifungal agent for treating immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised patients having: blastomycosis (pulmonary and extrapulmonary); histoplasmosis, including chronic cavitary pulmonary disease and disseminated non-meningeal histoplasmosis; and aspergillosis. In addition, in non-immunocompromised patients, it has been approved for treatment of onychomycosis. See generally, Physician ‘s Desk Reference, 56^th ed. (2002). The compound has also been investigated for use in coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, dermatophyte, and candidiasis infections.
Adverse effects associated with the administration of (±)cts-itraconazole free base include nausea, vomiting, anorexia, headache, dizziness, hepatotoxicity, and inhibition of drug metabolism in the liver, leading to numerous, clinically significant, adverse drug interactions. See, Physician ‘s Desk Reference, 56^th ed. (2002); Honig et al., J. Clin. Pharmacol. 33:1201-1206 (1993) (terfenadine interaction); Gascon and Dayer, Eur. J. Clin. Pharmacol., 41_:573-578 (1991) (midazolam interaction); and Neuvonen et al, Clin. Pharmacol. Therap., 60:54-61 (1996) (lovastatin interaction). Reactions associated with hypersensitivity, such as urticaria and serum liver enzymes elevation, are also associated with the administration of the drug. A more serious, though less common, adverse effect is hepatotoxicity. See, e.g., Lavrijsen et al., Lancet, 340:251-252 (1992).
In addition, as discussed herein, c/s-itraconazole free base is only very sparingly soluble in water. Thus, due to its relative non-polarity and insolubility, itraconazole free base suffers from two other drawbacks: it cannot be readily formulated in parenteral solution, and it does not effectively penetrate the blood-brain barrier. The latter problem is exacerbated by drug interactions, such as one observed between itraconazole free base and valproate, as described in Villa et al. , Rev. Inst. Med. Trop., Sao Paulo, pp. 231-234 (Jul-Aug 2000), which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. In another case of CNS fungal infection, extremely high doses of itraconazole free base were used to treat residual aspergillus infection, as reported by Imai et al., Intern. Med, 38(10):829-832 (1999), which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. As a result, numerous therapeutic indications that require rapid achievement of effective blood levels or access to the CNS are difficult to treat or beyond treatment with itraconazole free base.
Furthermore, the emergence of antifungal resistance (e.g., in Aspergillus fumigatus isolates as described by Dannaoui et al., J. Antimicrob. Chemother., 47:333-340 (2001), which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety) presents an added challenge to the efficacy of itraconazole free base. For those strains of fungi that show resistance, high and relatively constant levels of itraconazole free base must be produced in the target organs of infected patients.
Over the years, a number of formulation routes have been used in order to enhance the adsorption and bioavailability of itraconazole. For example, the currently marketed SPORANOX^® solid dosage capsule form of itraconazole free base utilizes sugar-based beads coated with a hydrophilic polymer and an amorphous film of itraconazole. See Physicians Desk Reference, 56^th ed., pp.1800- 1804 (2002); and U.S. Patent No. 5,633,015. This dosage form requires up to two capsules three times daily depending on the condition being treated.
Even with the various formulation routes, the dosage amounts and dose frequency for itraconazole can be burdensome to patients. In addition, administration of existing dosage forms of itraconazole have shown significant variability in bioavailability and adsorption, which likely results from food effects. See, Physician ‘s

Desk Reference, 56^th ed., pp. 1800-1804 (2002). Thus, it would be desirable to increase bioavailability and adsorption and decrease the per-dose pill count and decrease dosing frequency (e.g., twice a day to once a day) associated with administration of itraconazole in order to provide an improvement over current therapy, particularly with regard to patient compliance, convenience, ease of ingestion, especially with regard to immunocompromized polypharmacy patients (e.g., AIDS or cancer patients).

Posaconazole and Saperconazole Chemistry and Uses
Other related conazoles have also been discovered and used as antifungals. Two of these conazoles that are closely structurally related to itraconazole are posaconazole and saperconazole.

Saroglitazar (INN, trade name Lipaglyn) is a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. It is approved for use in India by the Drug Controller General of India.^[1] Saroglitazar is indicated for the treatment of diabetic dyslipidemia andhypertriglyceridemia with type 2 diabetes mellitus not controlled by statin therapy. In clinical studies, saroglitazar has demonstrated reduction of triglycerides (TG), LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol and an increase in HDL cholesterol a characteristic hallmark of atherogenic diabetic dyslipidemia (ADD). It has also shown favorable Anti-diabetic medication property by reducing the fasting plasma glucose and HBA_1c in diabetes patients. The recommended dose of saroglitazar is one tablet of 4 mg once a day.

In February 2013, Saroglitazar became the first glitazar that has been approved by any FDA for clinical use. Saroglitazar is marketed under the trade name Lipaglyn and developed by Zydus Cadila. Saroglitazar (2 and 4 mg q.d.) is currently approved in India by Drug Controller General of India (DCGI ) for the management of diabetic dyslipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia in T2DM not controlled by statin therapy. Lipaglyn provides the option of a once-daily oral therapy for the patients suffering from diabetic dyslipidemia.

Saroglitazar has another first attached to it. It is the first indigenously developed NCE by any Indian company; in this case Zydus Cadila.

Lipaglyn is indicated 4 mg (or 2 mg where such a need arise) oral dose once daily.

Mechanism of action

Efficacy

Being a dual PPAR agonist, Saroglitazar (Lipaglyn) helps in controlling blood glucose and Lipid parameters especially high triglycerides and high non HDL-Cholesterol.^[3] Lipaglyn effectively reduces triglycerides and non HDL-C and controlles high blood sugar, a typical situation in Insulin Resistance condition.^[4]^[5]

Safety

Saroglitazar has not demonstrated any of the adverse effects like weight gain and edema that are usually identified with similar molecules like the glitazone class of drugs.^[6] Because it is an insulin sensitizer, Saroglitazar (Lipaglyn) has less potential for hypoglycemia. No major serious adverse events have been reported; however, long-term cardiovascular safety has not been established.^[7]

Saroglitazar, is a drug for the treatment of diabetic dyslipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia with Type 2 diabetes mellitus not controlled by statin therapy. Its trade name is Lipaglyn. It is also a 1,2-Diarylpyrroles derivative, which can be used in the preparation of Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

3-Aryl-2-hydroxy propanoic acid derivatives serve as a key intermediate for the synthesis of many pharmaceutically important compounds especially, peroxime proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) agonist.

Optically active 3-aryl-2-alkoxy propanoic acid and its esters, particularly, ethyl (2S)-2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate (EEHP) and isopropyl (2S)-2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate (IEHP) are versatile chiral pharmacophores present in many pharmaceutically important compounds, especially in peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) agonists that have beneficial effects in treating Type 2 diabetes.

Several PPAR agonists, in particular PPAR α/γ dual agonists, commonly termed as glitazars (Ragaglitazar, Tesaglitazar, Navaglitazar etc.), as shown in the figure below were developed by many pharmaceutical companies that have a potential application in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.

However, many of these drugs were discontinued due to their undesirable side effects, but some of them still have great potential [For example, Saraglitazar (LipaglynTM) developed by Zydus Cadila got approval in India for the treatment of diabetic dyslipidemia or hypertriglyceridemia]. Several PPAR α/γ agonists possessing chiral (S)-l moieties are shown below.

Tesaglitazar Naveglitazar

In addition, these derivatives find an application in photosensitive materials, sweetening agents, treatment of certain eating disorders etc. Therefore, these compounds have attracted a great deal of attention of synthetic chemists and different methods of preparation of the compound of formula (S)-l have been extensively studied.

Generally, the reported protocols for the synthesis involve chiral pool approaches starting from L-tyrosine and its derivatives (Refer WO 02/24625, US 6559335B2, WO 2003/027084), asymmetric synthesis (Org. Lett. 2005, 7, 1947, US 2007/0149804) and resolution processes using chiral amines or enzymes (WO 2000/026200, WO 2001/11073, Org. Process Res. Dev. 2003, 7, 82, Org. Process Res. Dev. 2004, 8, 838, Tetrahedron Asymmetry 2009, 20, 2594).

Some of these methods have disadvantages such as expensive chiral starting materials and catalysts, low enantioselectivity and overall yields, problems associated with the O-alkylation step which often leads to the loss of optical purity, and many others.

The processes described in WO20026200 (Rao et. al.) uses benzyl bromide for benzylation, which is highly lachrymatory. Again, in the processes described, the debenzylation of the final intermediate was done by using Pd/C under pressure, which escalates the process economics.

WO2003024915 describes a process for the preparation 3-aryl-2-hydroxy propanoic acid derivatives from 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid.

WO 2003008362 describes 3-Aryl-2-hydroxy propanoic acid derivatives of formula I and the preparation thereof.

wherein Rland R2 may be same or different and represent hydrogen or (CI- C6) alkyl.

The process is depicted in Scheme 1 below.

Scheme 1

In another process variant as in Scheme 2, WO’362 discloses a process for the preparation of novel 3-aryl-2 -hydroxy propanol and their derivatives of the formula (I)

wherein OR and OR together form a substituted or unsubstituted 5 membered cyclic structure containing carbon and oxygen atoms, which comprises: i) reducing the compound of formula (III) where R represents hydrogen or alkyl group, R3 represents benzyl to a compound of formula (IV) where R3 represents benzyl, ii) cyclizing the compound of formula (IV) to a compound of formula (V) where ORl and OR2 together form a substituted or unsubstituted 5 membered cyclic structure containing carbon and oxygen atoms and R3 represents benzyl and iii) debenzylating the compound of formula (V) in the presence of metal catalysts to yield pure compound of formula (I).

Scheme 2

Both the processes described in WO’362 result in poor overall yield and further fail to describe the preparation of compound of formula V using different alkylating agents. This document exemplifies the compound of formula V with similar ether groups as it fails to teach selective alkylation of formula IV.

WO2005019152 discloses an improved process for the preparation of compound of the general formula (la) and (lb).

Wherein, Rl represent H or (C1-C6) alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl and the like. R2 represents (Ci-Ce) alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t- butyl and the like. R3 represents H, protecting groups such as benzyl, substituted benzyl, (C1-C3) alkyl and like.

The compound of general formula (la) is prepared according to the following schemes 3 and 4.

Scheme 3

Both the processes start with selective O-alkylation or O-aralkylation of L-Tyrosine of formula (2a) using a base, a chelating agent, an alkyl or aralkyl halide in the presence of solvents to obtain the compound of formula (3a), which is diazotized to obtain formula (4a) which upon dialkylation using an excess of alkylating agent and excess base, in presence of suitable solvent to obtain optically pure compound of formula (la). Alternatively, compound of formula (4a) may be selectively esterified to obtain compound of formula (5a), which is subsequently O-alkylated to obtain compound of formula (la) (Scheme 2).

However, the above processes have many disadvantages such as multistep synthesis including protection & deprotection and low overall yield. Further, low temperature diazotization on industrial scale is not viable. Moreover, the starting material is very expensive and hence escalates the process.

In the light of the foregoing, development of a new, alternate enantio-selective synthetic route to these important chiral intermediates, which are simple and can preserve the optical purity at the C-2 carbon of 3-Aryl-2-hydroxy propanoic acid derivatives, is highly desirable. There is a need for an efficient process for synthesis of 3-Aryl-2-hydroxy propanoic acid derivatives of formula (S)-l in high enantiopurity and good overall yield from commercially available starting material.

Mumbai, June 5: Cadila Healthcare will launch a homegrown drug against diabetes by the third quarter of this year.

The Drug Controller General of India has approved its drug — Lipaglyn — to treat “diabetic dyslipidemia”.

Diabetic dyslipidemia is a condition where a person is diabetic and has elevated levels of total cholesterol. Over 80 per cent of diabetic patients are dyslipidemic.

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130606/jsp/business/story_16976915.jsp

Zydus Cadila said it is looking for partnership to market its new chemical entity (NCE) Lipaglyn, to be used for treating a type of diabetes in developed and developing markets. “Lipaglyn is the first glitazar to be approved in the world and the first NCE discovered and developed indigenously by an Indian pharma company.

The new drug is expected to be launched in Q3 of this fiscal in the country,” Zydus Cadila Chairman and Manging Director Pankaj Patel told reporters.

The company has spent USD 250 million in developing Lipaglyn and aims to spend another USD 150-200 million to launch the drug in overseas markets in next 3-5 years period, Patel said, adding that the company is looking for marketing partnerships.

“We expect this to be a blockbuster drug, which means over USD 1 billion sales a year, when the drug is sold globally, he said. The market for this drug is estimated at Rs 100 crore in the local market over the next three years and having market potential size of over USD 30 billion in the world market, he said.

Zydus Cadila took about eight years to develop the molecule and conducted clinical trials on more than 1,000 patients in India, Patel said, adding that the company is yet to finalise the price, but believes that it will be reasonably priced in the local market.

The company said that the Indian drug regulator Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has approved Lipaglyn to be used for treating ‘diabetic dyslipidemia’.

Zydus Cadila has announced a breakthrough in the anti-diabetic drug Lipaglyn. Lipaglyn – The world’s first drug for treating Diabetic Dyslipidemia combines lipid and glucose lowering effects in one single molecule.

The Zydus Group announced a breakthrough in its research efforts with Lipaglyn (Saroglilazar), a novel drug targeted at bridging an unmet healthcare need for treating Diabetic Dyslipidemia or Hypertriglyeeridemia in Type II diabetes, not controlled by statins alone. The drug has been approved for launch in India by the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI). With a novel action that offers lipid and glucose lowering effects in one molecule, Lipaglyn is the first Glitazar to be approved anywhere in the world.
“Lipaglyn provides patients suffering from diabetic dyslipidemia the option of a once-daily oral therapy that has a beneficial effect on both lipid parameters as well as glycemic control,” said Pankaj R. Fatel, Chairman and Managing Director, Zydus Cadila. “It has always been our dream to take a molecule right from the concept stage up to its launch. Today, we have realized this dream. It is an important breakthrough and I would like to dedicate this to all the Indian research scientists in the Held of drug discovery,” Patel added,
Diabetic Dyslipidemia is a condition where a person is diabetic and has elevated levels of the total cholesterol, the “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and the triglycerides and a decrease in the “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration in the blood. Optimal LDL cholesterol levels ibr adults with diabetes are less than 100 mg/dh, optimal HDL cholesterol levels are equal to or greater than 40 mg/dL, and desirable triglycerides levels are less than 150 mg/dLT LipaglynrM, a non-thiazoKdinedione, is the first therapy to be approved for this condition,
World over, it is estimated that 30% of all deaths occur due lo cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In India, one out of every five persons is at serious risk of developing CVD, Research has shown that diabetes is one of the major risk factors of CVD. India has a population of nearly 65 million diabetics and 77 million prc-diabctics, 85 – 97% of the diabetes patients suffer from dyslipidemia or lipid abnormalities. Hence, addressing the problem of diabetes and dyslipidemia is crucial in tackling the health risk posed by CVD.
Discovered by the Zydus Research Centre, the dedicated NCE research arm of the Zydus group, LipaglynrM is a best-in-class innovation, designed to have a unique cellular mechanism of action following an extensive structure-activity relationship study initiated in the year 2000, Lipaglyn1M has a predominant affinity to PPAR alpha isoform and moderate affinity to PPAR gamma isoform of PPAR nuclear receptor subfamily. The molecule has shown beneficial effects on lipids and glyeemic control without side effects. This molecule underwent extensive pre-clinical characterisation and the I.ND was submitted in the year 2004,
As a part of the clinical development programme, extensive Phase-I, Phase-II and Phase-Ill clinical trials were conducted to evaluate the phamacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and safety of Lipaglyn. The new drug application for Lipaglyn1 was based on a comprehensive clinical development programme spanning eight years.
Results from the first Phase III programme with Pioglitazone as a comparator drug in diabetes patients showed that the 4 mg dose of Lipaglyn led to a reduction of triglycerides and LDL (bad) cholesterol, and an increase in HDL (good) cholesterol and also showed a reduction in Fasting Plasma Glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbAlc) thereby confirming its beneficial effects of both lipid and glyeemic control in diabetic patients,
In the second Phase III study, Lipaglyn was studied in diabetic dyslipidemic patients insufficiently controlled with statin therapy. The results from this study confirmed that Lipaglyn had a pronounced beneficial effect on both the lipid and glyeemic parameters in these subjects.
In both the studies, Lipaglyn was well tolerated and had a better safety profile than the comparators. Importantly Lipaglyn1 M has a non-renal route of elimination, and did not show adverse events like edema, weight gain, myopathies or derangement of liver and/or kidney functions, thus making it sale and efficacious. LipaglynIM is recommended for once daily administration as 4 mg tablets.
Zydus will offer a dedicated LipaglynIM support programme to patients and earegivers, The programme shall provide important support and information regarding access, adherence, education and thereby help patients to start and appropriately manage their disease and therapy over time.
