Blixeprodil

CAS 2881017-49-6

MF C13H16FNO MW 221.27 g/mol

Cyclohexanone, 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)-, (2R)-

(2R)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexan-1-one
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, GM-1020, GM1020, (R)-4-Fluorodeschloroketamine, (R)-4-FDCK, (R)-4FDCK, S2MGG2PC5K

Blixeprodil,[5] also known by its developmental code name GM-1020 or as (R)-4-fluorodeschloroketamine ((R)-4-FDCK), is an NMDA receptor antagonist related to ketamine which is under development for the treatment of major depressive disorderbipolar depression, and other depressive disorders.[1][6][2][3][7][8] It is taken by mouth.[1][2][3]

The drug is orally active, in contrast to the poor oral bioavailability of ketamine.[3] Its oral bioavailability is >60%.[4][9] The time to peak levels of blixeprodil is 1.5 hours and its elimination half-life is 4.3 hours.[4] In a clinical study comparing it with the serotonergic psychedelic bretisilocin (GM-2505), both blixeprodil and bretisilocin produced hallucinogenic effects.[10]

Blixeprodil shows antidepressant-like effects in rodents.[3][11][4][9] It appears to have a greater separation between antidepressant-like and ataxia-inducing doses than ketamine in rodents and hence might have better tolerability.[3][7][9] Whereas ketamine shows only 3-fold separation between antidepressant-like and ataxic doses, there was 13-fold separation for blixeprodil, and it did not produce hyperlocomotion at doses >20-fold higher than the minimum antidepressant-like dose.[9] In relation to the preceding, blixeprodil is claimed to be non-dissociative at therapeutic doses.[2][4] However, dissociative and other related effects have been observed at low incidences and at higher doses.[4]

The drug is a close analogue of ketamine, with a 4-fluoro group instead of a 2-chloro group on the phenyl ring and in (2R)-enantiopure form.[12] Hence, blixeprodil is related to arketamine ((R)-ketamine); it is said to “bet” on the notion that arketamine is importantly involved in the antidepressant effects of ketamine, in spite of arketamine having less propensity for inducing dissociation.[13]

Blixeprodil is being developed by Gilgamesh Pharmaceuticals.[1][6][2] As of July 2024, it is in phase 2 clinical trials for major depressive disorder and bipolar depression and is in phase 1 trials for other depressive disorders.[1][6][2]

Example 1: Preparation of Compounds 1 and 2 and Their Enantiomers.

Step 1: Preparation of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-nitrocyclohexan-1-one

[0110] A mixture of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)cyclohexan-1-one (14 g, 72.83 mmol, 1 eq), CAN (79.85 g, 145.66 mmol, 72.59 mL, 2 eq), and Cu(OAc)2 (2.65 g, 14.57 mmol, 0.2 eq) in DCE (140 mL) was stirred at 85 °C for 12 h. On completion, the mixture was filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, Petroleum ether/Ethyl acetate=100/1 to 0/1) to afford 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-nitrocyclohexan-1-one (6.1 g, 25.71 mmol, 35.31% yield) as a yellow solid.1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ = 7.41 – 7.31 (m, 2H), 7.16 (t, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 3.11 (ddd, J=3.6, 10.4, 14.0 Hz, 1H), 2.87 – 2.76 (m, 1H), 2.73 – 2.64 (m, 1H), 2.60 -2.48 (m, 1H), 2.02 – 1.88 (m, 3H), 1.84 – 1.72 (m, 1H).

Step 2: Preparation of 2-amino-2-(4-fluorophenyl)cyclohexan-1-one (1)

[0111] To a mixture of 2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-nitrocyclohexan-1-one (5.6 g, 23.61 mmol, 1 eq) in AcOH (10 mL) was added Zn (15.44 g, 236.06 mmol, 10 eq) in several portions and the resulting mixture was stirred at 30 °C for 12 h. On completion, the mixture was filtered and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in DCM (20 mL), washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 (10 mL), H2O (5 mL), and brine (10 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by prep-HPLC (column: Agela DuraShell C18 (250 mm*80 mm, 10 μm); mobile phase: A: water (NH4HCO3), B: ACN; B%: 35%, 20 min) to afford 2-amino-2-(4-fluorophenyl)cyclohexan-1-one (2.9 g, 13.99 mmol, 59.28% yield, 1) as a brown oil.1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ = 7.52 – 7.40 (m, 2H), 7.32 (br s, 1H), 7.34 – 7.20 (m, 2H), 2.93 – 2.92 (m, 1H), 3.08 – 2.92 (m, 1H), 2.74 – 2.63 (m, 1H), 2.63 – 2.50 (m, 1H), 2.28 – 2.16 (m, 1H), 2.10 (br s, 2H), 2.04 – 1.85 (m, 4H).

Note: The free base of this compound is unstable and dimerizes over time. It should be stored frozen or quickly converted to the HCl salt to prevent this.

Step 3: Preparation of (S)-2-amino-2-(4-fluorophenyl)cyclohexan-1-one (1S) and (R)-2-amino-2-(4-fluorophenyl)cyclohexan-1-one (1R)

[0112] The racemate 1 (2.9 g) was separated by SFC (column: DAICEL CHIRALPAK AD (250 mm*30 mm, 10 μm); mobile phase: A: CO2, B: 0.1% NH3H2O in ETOH; B%: 27%, multi-injection process with 6-min spacing between injections) to afford ENT-1 free base (RT = 2.266 min, 1.1 g, 1.62 mmol, 1S_FB) as a yellow oil and ENT-2 free base (RT = 2.945 min, 1.1 g, 1.28 mmol, 1R_FB) as a yellow oil.

[0113] A portion of each free base was further purified by prep-HPLC (column: Welch Xtimate C18 (100 mm*25 mm, 3 μm); mobile phase: A: water (0.04% HCl), B: ACN; B%: 1% – 20%, 8 min) to afford ENT-1 HCl (RT = 2.266 min, 272 mg, HCl salt, 1S) as a white solid and ENT-2 HCl (RT = 2.945 min, 283 mg, HCl salt, 1R) as a white solid.

[0115] The retention times above, which identify the enantiomers, were determined using the free bases using the following chiral analytical method: column: Chiralpak AD-3 (150 mm×4.6 mm I.D., 3 μm); mobile phase: A: CO2 B: EtOH (0.1% IPAm, v/v); gradient (Time (min)/A%/B%): 0.0/90/10, 0.5/90/10, 3.5/50/50, 4.5/50/50, 5.0/90/10; flow rate: 2.5 mL/min; column temp.: 35 °C; ABPR: 2,000 psi.

Step 4: Preparation of (S)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexan-1-one (2S) and (R)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexan-1-one (2R)

[0116] Compound 1S_FB (540 mg, 2.61 mmol, 1 eq) and methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (427.59 mg, 2.61 mmol, 285.06 μL, 1 eq) were combined in hexafluoroisopropanol (40 mL) at 0

°C under N2 atmosphere and then the mixture was allowed to warm to 25 °C and stirred for 12 h. On completion, the residue was adjusted to pH 7 with sat. aq. Na2CO3 (10 mL) and the combined organic phase was washed with brine (100 mL * 2), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuum. The residue was purified by prep-HPLC (column: Waters Xbridge C18 (150 mm*50 mm, 10μm); mobile phase: A: water (10 mM NH4HCO3), B: ACN; B%: 30% – 50%, 10 min) to afford 2S (260 mg, 1.18 mmol, 45.10% yield) as a white solid. Compound 2R was prepared by the same procedure starting from 1R_FB (590 mg, 2.85 mmol) in hexafluoroisopropanol (60 mL) (other quantities scaled based on molar equivalents) and obtained as an off-white solid (260 mg, 1.18 mmol, 41.27% yield).

Gilgamesh, for example, is taking that approach with ketamine, DMT and psilocybin. In the case of ketamine, says Kruegel, the dissociative side effects require that the subjects remain under supervision. So Gilgamesh designed a ketamine analog called GM-1020 that has no dissociative effects (distortions in sight, sound and feelings of detachment) and that also has better oral bioavailability than ketamine itself. After completing a phase 1 trial last year, the company began dosing patients with GM-1020 in a phase 2 trial for major depressive disorder in March. “The hope is that the psychoactive effects will be limited enough that this can eventually be taken at home,” says Kruegel.
