Example 1 

[0116]Preparation of (R)-5-amino-3-(4-((5-chloropyridin-2-yl)oxy)phenyl)-1-(4-cyano-4-azaspiro[2.5]octan-6-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (Compound 1)

Step 1 

[0119]

[0120]DIPEA (185 g, 1.44 mol, 250 mL, 3 eq) was added to a solution of intermediate compound 11 (167 g, 479 mmol, 1 eq) in EtOH (1670 mL) at 0 ° C. Intermediate compound 17 (187 g, 575 mmol, 1.2 eq) was added to the mixture. The mixture was then stirred at 25 ° C for 12 h under a N2 atmosphere. LCMS (ET14245-55-P1A2, product: RT = 1.723 min) showed that the reaction was complete. The reaction was filtered to obtain the product. The product was used directly in the next step without purification. Intermediate compound 18 (243 g, 407 mmol, yield 85%, purity 93.1%) was obtained as a white solid. 

[0121]Step 2 

[0122]

[0123]Intermediate compound 18 (121 g, 218 mmol, 1 eq) was stirred in H 

2 SO 

4 (1200 mL) at 30° C. for 36 h. TLC (DCM: MeOH=10:1, Rf=0.9) showed that compound 18 was completely consumed and only one desired spot was formed (DCM: MeOH=10:1, Rf=0.2). Multiple batches of reaction mixtures were combined, and the combined mixture was poured into MTBE (20 L), solids were precipitated and the filtrate was collected by suction filtration. The pH of the filtrate was adjusted to 10 with aqueous ammonia, extracted with EtOAc (2 L x 10), dried with Na 

2 SO 

4 , filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give intermediate compound 19 (crude product 311 g, equivalent to 238 g product) as a yellow solid. 

[0124]Step 3 

[0125]

[0126]To a solution of intermediate compound 19 (199 g, 453 mmol, 1 eq) in DMF (1400 mL) was added cesium carbonate (295 g, 907 mmol, 2 eq) and stirred at 15 ° C for 0.5 hours. Then BrCN (52.8 g, 499 mmol, 36.7 mL, 1.1 eq) was added and stirred at 15 ° C for 2 hours. TLC (DCM: MeOH = 10: 1, R 

f = 0.2) showed that compound 19 was completely reacted and only one desired spot was generated (DCM: MeOH = 10: 1, R 

f = 0.6). Multiple batches of reaction mixtures were combined and the resulting mixture was filtered to remove cesium carbonate. The filtrate was then concentrated under reduced pressure to remove DMF. The residue was diluted with water (2 L) and extracted with ethyl acetate (1 L × 4). The organic phases were combined and washed with water (2 L × 2) and brine (2 L), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Acetonitrile (1 L) was added to the residue to precipitate a white solid, which was filtered and the filter cake was washed with acetonitrile (200 mL×2) to give Compound 1 (140 g, 302 mmol, yield 55%, purity 97.0%).

Protein kinases are a large group of intracellular and transmembrane signaling proteins in eukaryotic cells. These enzymes are responsible for transfer of the terminal (gamma) phosphate from ATP to specific amino acid residues of target proteins.

Phosphorylation of specific amino acid residues in target proteins can modulate their activity leading to profound changes in cellular signaling and metabolism. Protein kinases can be found in the cell membrane, cytosol and organelles such as the nucleus and are responsible for mediating multiple cellular functions including metabolism, cellular growth and differentiation, cellular signaling, modulation of immune responses, and cell death. Serine kinases specifically phosphorylate serine or threonine residues in target proteins. Similarly, tyrosine kinases, including tyrosine receptor kinases, phosphorylate tyrosine residues in target proteins. Tyrosine kinase families include: TEC, SRC, ABL, JAK, CSK, FAK, SYK, FER, ACK and the receptor tyrosine kinase subfamilies including ERBB, FGFR, VEGFR, RET and EPH. Subclass I of the receptor tyrosine kinase superfamily includes the ERBB receptors and comprises four members: ErbB1 (also called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)), ErbB2, ErbB3 and ErbB4.

Kinases exert control on key biological processes related to health and disease. Furthermore, aberrant activation or excessive expression of various protein kinases are implicated in the mechanism of multiple diseases and disorders characterized by benign and malignant proliferation, as well as diseases resulting from inappropriate activation of the immune system. Thus, inhibitors of select kinases or kinase families are considered useful in the treatment of cancer, vascular disease, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory conditions including, but not limited to: solid tumors, hematological malignancies, thrombus, arthritis, graft versus host disease, lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, colitis, illeitis, multiple sclerosis, uveitis, coronary artery vasculopathy, systemic sclerosis, atherosclerosis, asthma, transplant rejection, allergy, ischemia, dermatomyositis, pemphigus, and the like.

Tec kinases are a family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases predominantly, but not exclusively, expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin. The Tec family includes TEC, Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), inducible T-cell kinase (ITK), resting lymphocyte kinase (RLK/TXK for Tyrosine Protein Kinase), and bone marrow-expressed kinase (BMX/ETK).

BTK is important in B-cell receptor signaling and regulation of B-cell development and activation. Mutation of the gene encoding BTK in humans leads to X-linked agammaglobulinemia which is characterized by reduced immune function, including impaired maturation of B-cells, decreased levels of immunoglobulin and peripheral B cells, and diminished T-cell independent immune response. BTK is activated by Src-family kinases and phosphorylates PLC gamma leading to effects on B-cell function and survival. Additionally, BTK is important for cellular function of mast cells, macrophage and neutrophils indicating that BTK inhibition is effective in treatment of diseases mediated by these and related cells including inflammation, bone disorders, and allergic disease. BTK inhibition is also important in survival of lymphoma cells indicating that inhibition of BTK is useful in the treatment of lymphomas and other cancers. As such, inhibitors of BTK and related kinases are of great interest as anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-cancer, agents. BTK is also important for platelet function and thrombus formation indicating that BTK-selective inhibitors are also useful as antithrombotic agents. Furthermore, BTK is required for inflammasome activation, and inhibition of BTK may be used in treatment of inflammasome-related disorders, including; stroke, gout, type 2 diabetes, obesity-induced insulin resistance, atherosclerosis and Muckle-Wells syndrome. In addition, BTK is expressed in HIV infected T-cells and treatment with BTK inhibitors sensitizes infected cells to apoptotic death and results in decreased virus production. Accordingly, BTK inhibitors are considered useful in the treatment of HIV-AIDS and other viral infections.

Further, BTK is important in neurological function. Specifically targeting BTK in the brain and CNS has the potential to significantly advance the treatment of neurological diseases such as progressive and relapsing forms of MS and primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL).

PCNSL is a rare brain tumor with an annual incidence in the United States of approximately 1900 new cases each year and constitutes approximately 3% of all newly diagnosed brain tumors.

PCNSL is highly aggressive and unlike other lymphomas outside the CNS, prognosis remains poor despite improvements in treatments in the front-line setting. High dose methotrexate remains the backbone of treatment and is used in combination with other cytotoxic agents, and more recently the addition of rituximab. From initial diagnosis, 5-year survival has improved from 19% to 30% between 1990 and 2000 but has not improved in the elderly population (>70 years), due to 20% or more of these patients being considered unfit for chemotherapy. Tumor regression is observed in ~85% of patients regardless of the treatment modality in the front-line setting, however, approximately half of these patients will experience recurrent disease within 10 -18 months after initial treatment and most relapses occur within the first 2 years of diagnosis.

Thus, the prognosis for patients with relapsed/refractory PCNSL (R/R PCNSL) remains poor with a median survival of ~ 2 months without further treatment. As there is no uniform standard of care for the treatment of R/R PCNSL, participation in clinical trials is encouraged. New safe and effective treatments are urgently needed.

BTK is involved in the signal transduction in the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and integrates BCR and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. Genes in these pathways frequently harbor mutations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), including CD79B and myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88). Ibrutinib, a first-generation irreversible selective inhibitor of BTK, has been approved for chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small cell lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), previously treated Mantle Cell lymphoma (MCL) and Marginal Zone

Lymphoma (MZL), Waldenström’s macroglobulin, and previously treated chronic Graft Versus Host Disease. In clinical studies the recommended dose of Ibrutinib (480 mg/d in CLL or 560 mg/d in MCL) was escalated to 840 mg to achieve adequate brain exposure in primary CNS lymphoma.

Aberrant activation of the NF-κB pathway in PCNSL is emerging as a potential mechanism for more targeted therapy. In particular, activating mutations of CARD11 as well as of MyD88 (Toll-like receptor pathway) have been implicated. The activating exchange of leucine to proline at position 265 of MyD88, noted to occur in between 38% (11/29) and50% (7/14) of patients, is the most frequent mutation identified thus far in PCNSL. In addition, the coding region of CD79B, a component of the B-cell receptor signaling pathway, appears to contain mutations in 20% of cases, suggesting that dysregulation of the B-cell receptor and NF-κB pathways contribute to the pathogenesis of PCNSL. These data suggest that BCR pathway mutations and BTK dependence are of particular relevance to PCNSL.

Recently, several clinical studies have reported substantial single-agent clinical activity in the treatment of PCNSL with response rates of 70-77%. The majority of patients, however, discontinued therapy by 9 months. Although Ibrutinib therapy has been reported to be generally well tolerated with manageable adverse events, there are reports of sometimes fatal fungal infections. Of note, escalating doses beyond 560 mg to 840mg/day have been used to achieve higher brain exposure and these higher doses may be associated with off-target effects mediated by Ibrutinib’s kinase selectivity profile. Finally, the combination of high dose Ibrutinib in conjunction with high-dose steroids may contribute to exacerbate the increased fungal infections. Therefore, there remains a need for BTK inhibitors with an improved efficacy and safety profile due to greater brain penetration and BTK inactivation rate with greater kinase selectivity.

There remains a need for compounds that modulate protein kinases generally, as well as compounds that modulate specific protein kinases, such as BTK, as well as compounds that modulate specific protein kinases and selectively cross the blood/brain barrier for related compositions and methods for treating diseases, disorders and conditions that would benefit from such modulation and selectivity.

DATA

 N-Acetyl-D, L-leucine

 Unlike the majority of chemical syntheses of active principles where it is desirable to separate the enanti omers and / or to retain the selective stereo information during the synthesis steps, the synthesis of N-acetyl-D, L-leucine is carried out from L-leucine and therefore involves a racemization step. This racemization takes place before the acetylation step, via a Schiff base formed in situ with salicylic aldehyde (Yamada et al., J. Org. Chem., 1983 48, 843- 846).

Figure imgf000002_0002

Two competitive reactions are then involved: the acetylation of leucine, the main reaction, where acetic anhydride reacts with the amine function of leucinate of sodium to give N-acetyleucinate and the hydrolysis of acetic anhydride to acetic acid, a side reaction described below.

Figure imgf000003_0001

 This synthesis has a molar yield of 70%. The limiting steps are essentially the secondary reaction of hydrolysis of acetic anhydride and the step of isolation of the racemized leucine before the acetylation reaction. Indeed, on an industrial scale, the quantities of products brought into play for isolations prove to be very restrictive.

 There is therefore a real need to develop a new process for the preparation of N-actéyl-D, L-leucine which is faster and more economical.

The inventors thus discovered that the racemization step could be carried out after the L-leucine acetylation step making it possible to avoid a step of isolating the intermediate product and that this process could be carried out in continuous flow. Du Vigneaud & Meyer (J. Biol Chem, 1932, 98, 295-308) had already shown that it was possible to racemize different acetylated amino acids by bringing them into the presence of acetic anhydride for several hours. However, no examples had been made with acetyl leucine. By attempting to reproduce this process with acetyl-leucine, the inventors have thus found that this racemization reaction did not give satisfactory results with acetyl-leucine because of a competitive hydrolysis reaction of acetic anhydride. used. The inventors have also surprisingly discovered that the racemization reaction of N-acetyl-L-leucine could be improved by producing it in a continuous flow. It seems indeed that the realization of this continuous flow process allows better control of the mixing of the reagents and therefore to better control the reaction. The inventors have also shown that the racemization of N-acetyl-L-Leucine in continuous flow was obtained in a very short time of the order of a few minutes.

Furthermore, there is also a need to develop a new method of acetylation of leucine for the preparation of N-actyle-leucine which is faster and more economical. The inventors have discovered that the acetylation reaction of leucine can be improved by making it in a continuous flow. The process according to the invention gives good yields, in a very short time and using fewer reagents compared to the method known hitherto.

 Indeed, DeWitt et al. (J Am Chem Soc (1951) 73 (7) 3359-60) described the preparation of N-acetyl-L-Leucine by reacting L-Leucine with 3 molar equivalents of acetic anhydride and sodium hydroxide for 2 hours 20 minutes. . N-acetyl-L-leucine is then obtained in a yield of only 70-80%. In addition, the authors of this publication clearly indicated that a molar ratio between L-Leucine and acetic anhydride below 2 resulted in much lower yields.

A. L. Study of the molar ratio of acetic anhydride to leucine

 The objective of this study is to define the necessary molar ratio of acetic anhydride so that the acetylation reaction with acetic anhydride is complete and is not disadvantageous by competition with the acetic anhydride hydrolysis reaction. In this study, the residence time in the reactor / exchanger (1 process plate) was set at 9 seconds, for a temperature of the reaction medium of between 25 and 30 ° C.

 The ratio range studied is between 0.9 and 2.0 molar equivalents. The optimum is obtained for a ratio between 1.20 and 2.00, more particularly between 1.30 and 1.60. Below this ratio, the acetylation reaction is disadvantageous compared to the acetic hydrolysis reaction. Beyond this, the drop in pH (acid instead of base) also disadvantages the acetylation reaction.

EXAMPLES 1-10:

A solution of sodium L-leucinate, for passage in continuous flow reactor, is prepared in the following manner: 700 g of L-leucine are dissolved in a solution of 576 g of sodium hydroxide and 3.5 liters of Demineralized Water. This solution is the main fluid process. The reaction between this solution and the acetic anhydride is carried out in a continuous flow in a Boostec® reactor, made of silicon carbide. The reactor / exchanger is configured with an injection-type process plate comprised between two utility plates. The volume of the process plate is 10 mL. The temperature in the reactor is maintained by the circulation of a coolant heated by a thermostatic bath. The transformation of L-leucine to N-acetyl-L-leucine is monitored online by quantitative Raman spectroscopy. This method of analysis is calibrated beforehand with solutions of known concentration prepared with pure L-leucine and N-acetyl-L-leucine.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for levacetylleucine priority reviewfast trackorphan drug, and rare pediatric disease designations.[2] The FDA granted approval of Aqneursa to IntraBio Inc.[2]

Society and culture

Levacetylleucine was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2024.[1][2][5]

Names

Levacetylleucine is the international nonproprietary name.[6]

Research

Levacetylleucine is being studied for the treatment of GM2 gangliosidoses (Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases),[7] ataxia-telangiectasia,[8] Lewy body dementia,[9] amyotrophic lateral sclerosisrestless legs syndromemultiple sclerosis, and migraine.[10]
