AZD1236 is a selective MMP-9 and MMP-12 inhibitor (IC50 4.5 and 6.1nM) from Astrazeneca that, since it failed biomarker endpoints for COPD is included in the AZ Open Innovation 2014 set for repurposing. Pending any published link the structure identification is tenatative but seems likely to be the structure crystalised in WO2007106022.

Matrix metallopeptidase 9 and 12 (MMP9|MMP12) inhibitor http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/4318; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/4321 Preclinical Pharmacology AZD1236 is a potent and reversible inhibitor of human MMP9 and MMP12 (IC50’s = 4.5 and 6.1nM, respectively), with 10 – 15-fold selectivity to MMP2 and MMP13 and >350-fold selectivity to other members of the enzyme family. Its activity is approximately 20- to 50-fold lower at the rat, mouse, and guinea pig orthologues. In acute models of lung injury, AZD1236 inhibited the hemorrhage and inflammation induced by instillation of human MMP12 into rat lungs by ~80% at 0.81 mg/kg, and also abolished macrophage infiltration into BAL fluid induced by tobacco smoke inhalation in the mouse. Safety and Tolerability In healthy human volunteers, AZD1236 was well tolerated in single doses from 2 to 1500 mg and in multiple doses of 15, 75 and 500 mg for periods of up to 13 days. AZD1236 was also well tolerated in COPD patients with moderate to severe disease when given at 75 mg BID for 6 weeks. Pre-clinical toxicology studies of up to 12 month duration have been performed. Toxicologically important findings mainly relate to chronic treatment and included: diffuse eye lens opacities after 6 months administration to rats and fibrodysplasia in the subcutis after 12 months to dogs. Clinical Pharmacology Target coverage data to date have been mixed. In healthy subjects, single dose of 30 or 75 mg inhibited ex vivo zymosanstimmulated whole blood MMP activity (the 75 mg dose yielding plasma compound levels at Cmax steady state of ~120 x IC50). In contrast, 75 mg BID for 6 wks in COPD patients compared to placebo did not identify any significant change in whole blood MMP activity.

PATENT

WO 02/074767 further discloses a specific metalloproteinase inhibitor compound identified therein as (5S)-5-[4-(5-chloro-pyridin-2-yloxy)-piperidine-l-sulfonylmethyl]-5- methyl-imidazolidine-2,4-dione (page 65, lines 15 to 27; and page 120, lines 23 to 29). This compound is designated herein as compound (I).

(I)

WO 02/074767 further discloses processes for the preparation of compound (I). Thus, in one embodiment, compound (I) is prepared by a route analogous to that shown in the following Scheme (WO 02/074767; pages 87, 113 and 120) but substituting the appropriate amine in step (d):

Scheme 1

Reagents and conditions for Scheme 1: a) KCN, (NHLj)₂CO₃, EtOHTH₂O, +90⁰C, 3h;. b) Chiral separation, CHIRALPAK AD, methanol as eluent;. c) Cl₂ (g), AcOH/H₂O, <+15 ⁰C, 25min; d) Diisopropylethylamine, THF. -20 ⁰C, 30 min.

The obtained compound (I) is then purified either by precipitation and washing with ethanol/water or by preparative HPLC. In a second embodiment, the racemate of compound (I), (5RS)-5-[4-(5-chloro-pyridin-2- yloxy)-piperidine-l-sulfonylmethyl]-5-methyl-imidazolidine-2,4-dione, was prepared by reacting l-[4-(5-chloro-pyridin-2-yloxy)-piperidine-l-sulfonyl]-propan-2-one with an excess of potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate in ethanol, and isolating the product by precipitation. Compound (I), the (5S)-enantiomer, was then obtained by chiral HPLC (WO 02/074767; pages 55 and 65).

No crystalline forms of compound (I) are disclosed in WO 02/074767.

Compound (I) is a potent metalloproteinase inhibitor, particularly a potent inhibitor of

MMP 12, and as such is useful in therapy. However, when made according to the processes described in WO 02/074767, compound (I) exhibits unpredictable solid state properties with respect to thermodynamic stability. To prepare pharmaceutical formulations containing compound (I) for administration to humans in accordance with the requirements of U.S. and other international health registration authorities, there is a need to produce compound (I) in a stable form, such as a stable crystalline form, having constant physical properties.

(S)-5-[4-(5-ChIoro-pyridin-2-yloxy)-piperidine-l-suIfonylmethyl]-5-methyl- imidazoIidine-2,4-dione Process 1

I₅ a) 5-Chloro-2-(piperidin-4-yloxy)-pyridine

5-Chloro-2-(piperidin-4-yloxy)-pyridine acetate (40 g, 0.146 mol) was slurried in iso- PrOAc (664 mL) at 30⁰C. To this slurry was added Na₂CO₃ (1.5 mol per litre; 196 mL, 2 mol eq.). The slurry was then rapidly stirred at 30 ⁰C for 15 minutes. The biphasic mixture was allowed to settle, and the bottom aqueous phase was separated and discarded.

20 The above base washing procedure was repeated twice more. The organic phase was then washed once with water (200 mL). The resulting iso-VxOAc solution was reduced in volume to approximately 300 mL by distillation under reduced pressure. The solution was then diluted with zsø-PrOAc (400 mL) and again distilled down to approximately 300 mL. This procedure was repeated once more. A sample was removed for analysis of 5-chloro-

25 2-(piperidm-4-yloxy)-pyridine content and water content. The weight or the volume of the solution was measured in order to calculate the concentration of 5-chloro-2-(piperidin-4- yloxy)-pyridme in the Z-PrOAc solution.

fr) rSV5-r4-(5-Chloro-pyridin-2-yloxyVpiperidine-l-sulfonylmethvn-5-methyl- 30 imidazolidine-2 ,4-dione Diisopropylethylamine (24.3 mL, 0.139 mol, 1 mol eq.) was added to the iso-PrOAc solution prepared in part (a) [ca. 300 mL; equivalent to 31.2 g, 0.146 mol, 1.05 mol eq. of 5-chloro-2-(piperidin-4-yloxy)-pyridine] in one portion at RT. The solution was then cooled to -15 °C.

((S)-4-Methyl-2,5-dioxo-imidazolidin-4-yl)-methanesulfonyl chloride (31.65 g, 0.139 mol, 1 mol eq.) was dissolved in dry THF (285 mL) at RT with stirring. The resulting solution was then added to the iso-PrOAc solution of 5-chloro-2-(piperidin-4-yloxy)- pyridine dropwise at -15 ⁰C over about 1.5 h. A precipitate was seen on addition of the ((S)-4-methyl-2,5-dioxo-imidazolidin-4-yl)-methanesulfonyl chloride. At the end of the addition, dry THF (32 mL) was added to the reaction mixture to wash the line and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at — 15 ⁰C. It was then warmed to 20 °C over 1 h and stirred at 20 °C for 1 h further. The reaction was quenched with 10 wt% NaHSO₄ (157 mL) with rapid stirring. After about 15 minutes, the biphasic mixture was allowed to settle, and the bottom aqueous phase was separated and discarded. This acid wash procedure was repeated once more. The organic phase was then washed with water (157 mL) using rapid stirring and allowing complete phase separation before partitioning. The reaction solution was then warmed to 40 °C and washed again with water (157 mL). THF (95 mL) was added to the organic layer that was then warmed to 40 ⁰C and filtered at 40⁰C to remove any particulate matter. The solvent volume was then reduced to about 157 mL by reduced pressure distillation with the jacket temperature at 55 °C. zso-PrOAc (317 mL) was then added and the volume was again reduced to about 157 mL. Two more put-and-takes of zsø-PrOAc (317 mL) were carried out. Solids began to precipitate out during the distillations and a suspension resulted. The volume was reduced to about 157 mL each time and after the final distillation a small sample of solvent was then removed from the reaction mixture for residual THF analysis. The ¹H NMR showed no THF peaks. The contents of the reaction were then cooled to 0 °C and the product was collected by filtration. The reaction vessel was washed with zsø-PrOAc (63 mL) and this rinse was used to wash the product on the filter. The product was dried overnight in a vacuum oven at 40 °C. The required (S)-5-[4- (5-chloro-pyridin-2-yloxy)-piperidine-l-sulfonyhnethyl]-5-methyl-imidazolidine-2,4-dione was isolated as a white solid in 71% yield (41.8 g).

¹H NMR (300MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 10.74 (IH, s), 8.20 (IH, d), 8.01 (IH, s), 7.81 (IH, dd), 6.87 (IH, d), 5.09 (IH, m), 3.52-3.35 (4H, m), 3.13 (2H, m), 2.02 (2H, m), 1.72 (2H, m), 1.33 (3H, s).

5-Chloro-2-(piperidm-4-yloxy)-pyridine acetate (70 g, 257 mmol) was slurried in toluene

(560 mL) at RT. IM NaOH (420 mL) was added and the slurry was then rapidly stirred at RT for 15 min. The biphasic mixture was allowed to settle, and the bottom aqueous phase was separated and discarded. The organic phase was then washed with water (2 x 420 mL). A sample was removed from the organic phase and assayed for 5-chloro-2-(piperidin-

4-yloxy)-pyridine.

The resulting toluene solution was then reduced in volume by distillation at reduced pressure, down to approximately 168 mL (2.4 vol eq. with respect to 5-chloro-2-(piperidin-

4-yloxy)-pyridine acetate charge). The solution was then diluted with toluene (420 mL) and again distilled down to approx 168 mL (2.4 vol eq.). A sample was removed for analysis of water content.

b^*) (S)-5-r4-r5-Chloro-pyridm-2-yloxy)-piperidine-l-sulfonylmethvH-5-methyl- imidazolidine-2 ,4-dione

Diisopropylethylamine (38.4 mL, 220 mmol) was added to the toluene solution of 5-chloro-2-(piperidin-4-yloxy)-pyridine obtained in step (a) (containing 236 mmol) in one portion followed by dry THF (151 mL) as a line wash. ((S)-4-Methyl-2,5-dioxo- imidazolidin-4-yl)-methanesulfonyl chloride (48.7 g, 215 mmol) was dissolved in dry THF (352 mL) at RT with stirring. The resulting solution of the sulfonyl chloride was then added dropwise to the toluene/THF solution of 5-chloro-2-(piperidin-4-yloxy)-pyridine and diisopropylethylamine at RT over 1 to 2 h. A precipitate was seen on addition of the sulfonyl chloride. At the end of the addition, dry THF (50 mL) was added to the reaction 5 mixture as a line wash. After the addition was complete, the reaction was stirred for about 30 min at RT.

The reaction was quenched with 10 wt% NaHSO₄ (251 mL) with rapid stirring for approx 15 min. The biphasic mixture was allowed to settle, when the bottom aqueous phase was io separated and discarded. This acid wash procedure was repeated once more. The solvent volume was then reduced to about 220 mL by reduced pressure distillation. Toluene (300 mL) was then added and the volume was reduced to about 245 mL Solids begin to precipitate during the distillations and a suspension resulted. After the final distillation, a small sample of solvent was then removed from the reaction mixture for residual THF i₅ analysis.

The contents of the reaction mixture were then cooled to 0 °C, stirred for about 30 minutes at this temperature and the product was collected by filtration. The reaction vessel was washed with toluene (100 mL) and this rinse was used to wash the product on the filter. 20 The product was dried in a vacuum oven at 40 ⁰C to constant weight. (S)-5-[4-(5-Chloro- pyridin-2-yloxy)-piperidine-l-sulfonylmethyl]-5-methyl-imidazolidine-2,4-dione was isolated as a white solid in typically 85 to 88% yield over the two steps.

INTRODUCTION

Ulixertinib is in phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), myelodysplasia and advanced solid tumors.

Members of the family of B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 proteins (BCL-2) are apoptosis regulators. These proteins control mitochondrial outer

membrane permeabilization (MOMP). Expression of BCL-2 protein blocks cell death in response to various cellular injuries. A number of cancers, including melanoma, breast, prostate, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and lung cancer, may be caused by damage to the BCL-2 gene. Mutations in BCL-2 may also be a cause of resistance to cancer treatments. Unfortunately, resistance can quickly develop using conventional BCL-2 inhibitor therapies to treat cancer.

Extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) are protein kinases that are involved in cell cycle regulation, including the regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells. Disruption of the ERK pathway is common in cancers. However, to date, little progress has been made developing effective ERK inhibitors for the treatment of cancer.

As the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer grows, there is an increased emphasis on developing drugs that specifically target particular nodes in pathways that lead to cancer. In view of the deficiencies noted above, there is, inter alia, a need for effective molecularly targeted cancer treatments, including combination therapies. The present invention is directed to meeting these and other needs.

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways mediate signals which control diverse cellular processes including growth, differentiation, migration, proliferation and apoptosis. One MAPK pathway, the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway, is often found to be up-regulated in tumors. Pathway members, therefore, represent attractive blockade targets in the development of cancer therapies (Kohno and Pouyssegur, 2006). For example, U.S. Patent No. 7,354,939 B2 discloses, inter alia, compounds effective as inhibitors of ERK protein kinase. One of these compounds, 4-(5-Chloro-2-isopropylaminopyridin-4-yl)-1 H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid [1 -(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amide, is a compound according to formula (I):

Pharmaceutical compositions are often formulated with a crystalline solid of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The specific crystalline form of the API can have significant effects on properties such as stability and solubility / bioavailability. Instability and solubility characteristics can limit the ability to formulate a composition with an adequate shelf life or to effectively deliver a desired amount of a drug over a given time frame (Peterson et al., 2006).

Synergistic combination comprising an ERK1/2 inhibitor (such as ulixertinib) and a BCL-2 family inhibitor (such as navitoclax), assigned to BioMed Valley Discoveries (BVD), naming Decrescenzo and Welsch. BVD, presumably under license from Vertex, is developing ulixertinib (phase 2 trial), a small-molecule ERK 1/2 inhibitor for treating cancers including acute myelogenous leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. In June 2015, clinical data were presented at the 51st ASCO meeting in Chicago, IL.

In Step 1 , a clean and dry 200 L glass-lined reactor was evacuated to <-0.08 MPa, and then filled with nitrogen to normal pressure three times. Anhydrous ethanol (49.90 kg) was charged into the 200 L glass-lined reactor. ASYM-1 1 1606 (Asymchem) (12.70 kg) and isopropylamine (29.00 kg) were added into the mixture in turn. The mixture was heated to 65-75°C for refluxing. The mixture reacted at 65-75°C. After 20 h, the reaction was sampled and analyzed by HPLC every 4-6 h until the content of ASYM-1 1 1606 was <1 %. The mixture was cooled to 40-45°C and was concentrated at <45°C under reduced pressure (<-0.08 MPa) until 13-26 Lremained. The organic phase was washed with a sodium chloride solution and was stirred for 20-30 min and settled for 20-30 min before separation. The organic phase was concentrated at <30°C under reduced pressure (<-0.06 MPa) until 13-20 L remained. Petroleum ether (8.55 kg) was added into the concentrated mixture. The mixture was transferred into a 20 L rotary evaporator and continued concentrating at <30°C under reduced pressure (<-0.06 MPa) until 13-20 L remained. Then petroleum ether (8.55 kg) was added into the concentrated mixture. The mixture was cooled to 0-5°C and stirred for crystallization. After 1 h, the mixture was sampled and analyzed by wt% every 1 -2 h until the wt% of the mother liquor was <1 1 % or the change of the wt% between consecutive samples was <1 %. The mixture was filtered with a 10 L filter flask. The filter cake was sampled and analyzed for purity by HPLC. 10.50 kg of product was recovered as a brownish yellow solid at 99.39% purity.

In Step 2, a clean and dry 300 L glass-lined reactor was evacuated to <-0.08 MPa, and then filled with nitrogen to normal pressure three times. Glycol dimethyl ether (73.10 kg) was charged into the 300 L glass-lined reactor at 20-30°C. ASYM-1 12060 (Asymchem) (10.46 kg) and ASYM-1 1 1938 (Asymchem) (12.34 kg, 1 1 .64 kg after corrected) were added into the mixture in turn under the protection of nitrogen.

Palladium acetate (0.239 kg) and tricyclohexylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate (0.522 kg) were added into the mixture under the protection of nitrogen. After addition, the mixture was evacuated to <-0.06 MPa, and then filled with nitrogen to normal pressure. This was repeated for ten times until residual oxygen was <300 ppm. The mixture was heated to 75-85°C for refluxing. The mixture reacted at 75-85°C. After 4 h, the mixture was sampled and analyzed by HPLC every 2-3 h for content of ASYM-

1 12060. The content of AS YM-1 12060 was 6.18%, so additional ASYM-1 1 1938 (0.72 kg) was added and continued reaction until the content of ASYM-1 12060 was <3%. The mixture was cooled to 25-35°C and filtered with a 30 L stainless steel vacuum filter. The filter cake was soaked and washed twice with THF (14.10kg). The filtrate and washing liquor were combined and concentrated at <50°C under reduced pressure (<-0.08 MPa) until 10-15 L remained. The mixture was cooled to 15-25°C. Methanol (1 1 .05 kg) was added into the concentrated mixture. Then the mixture was stirred for crystallization. After 2 h, the mixture was sampled and analyzed by HPLC every 2-4 h until the wt% of the mother liquor was <2%. The mixture was filtered with a 30 L stainless steel vacuum filter. The filter cake was soaked and washed twice with methanol (8.30 kg). The filter cake was transferred into a 50 L plastic drum. Then ethyl acetate (7.10 kg) and petroleum ether (46.30 kg) were added into the drum. The mixture was stirred for 1.5-2 h and then filtered with a nutsche filter. The filter cake was soaked and washed with petroleum ether (20.50 kg). The filter cake was dried in the nutsche filter under nitrogen at 30-40°C. After 8 h, the solid was sampled and Karl Fischer (KF) analysis was performed in intervals of 4-8 h to monitor the drying process. Drying was completed when the KF result was <1 .0% water. During drying, the solid was turned over and mixed every 4-6 h. 12.15 kg of product was recovered as a brownish yellow solid at 98.32% purity.

In Step 3, a clean and dry 300 L glass-lined reactor was evacuated to <-0.08 MPa, and then filled with nitrogen to normal pressure three times. THF (62.58 kg) was charged into the 300 L glass-lined reactor at 15-30°C. Then the stirrer was started. ASYM-1 12393 (12.00 kg, 1 1 .70 kg after corrected) was added into the mixture. The mixture was stirred until the solid dissolved completely. Maintaining the temperature at 15-30°C, a lithium hydroxide solution which was

prepared with lithium hydroxide monohydrate (5.50 kg) in purified water (70.28 kg) was added into the mixture. Then diethylamine (3.86 kg) was added. The mixture was heated to 60-70°C for refluxing. The mixture reacted at 60-70°C. After 30 h, the reaction was sampled and analyzed by HPLC every 4-6 h until the content of intermediate at relative retention time (RRT)=1 .39-1 .44 was <1 % and the content of ASYM-1 12393 was <1 %. HPLC conditions for this analysis are set forth in Table 1 .

The mixture was cooled to 25-35°C and MTBE (25.97 kg) was added into the mixture. The mixture was stirred for 20-30 min and filtered via an in-line fluid filter. The filtrate was transferred into a 300 L glass-lined reactor and settled for 20-30 min before separation. The pH of the obtained aqueous phase was adjusted with a 6 N hydrochloric acid solution which was prepared from concentrated hydrochloric acid (14.86 kg) in purified water (10.88 kg) at the rate of 5-8 kg/h at 15-25°C until the pH was 1 -2. The pH of the mixture was adjusted again with a saturated sodium carbonate solution which was prepared from sodium carbonate (5.03 kg) in purified water (23.56 kg) at the rate of 3-5 kg/h at 15-25°C until the pH was 6.4-6.7.

In Step 4, a dry and clean 50 L flask was purged with nitrogen for 20 min. DMF (30.20 kg) was charged into the 50 L flask reactor. Then the stirrer was started. Maintaining the temperature at 15-25°C, ASYM-1 12394 (3.22 kg, 2.76 kg after corrected) was added into the mixture. The mixture was stirred until the solid dissolved completely. The mixture was cooled to -10 to -20°C and 1 -hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate (2.10 kg) was added into the mixture at -10 to -20°C.

The mixture was cooled to 0-10°C and the reaction mixture was quenched with a solution which was prepared from ethyl acetate (28.80 kg) in purified water (12.80 kg) at 0-10°C. The mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate (28.80 kg). For each extraction the mixture was stirred for 20-30 min and settled for 20-30 min before separation. The organic phases were combined and washed twice with purified water (12.80 kg). The mixture was stirred for 20-30 min and settled for 20-30 min before separation for each time. Then the obtained organic phase was filtered through an in-line fluid filter. The filtrate was transferred into a 300 L glass-lined reactor. The mixture was washed twice with a 5% acetic acid solution, which was prepared from acetic acid (2.24 kg) in purified water (42.50 kg). The solution was added at the rate of 10-20 kg/h. The organic phase was washed twice with a sodium carbonate solution, which was prepared from sodium carbonate (9.41 kg) in purified water (48.00 kg). The organic phase was washed twice with a sodium chloride solution, which was prepared from sodium chloride (16.00 kg) in purified water (44.80 kg). The organic phase was transferred into a 300 L glass-lined reactor. Anhydrous sodium sulfate (9.70 kg) was added into the mixture and the mixture was stirred for 2-4 h at 15-30°C. The mixture was filtered with a nutsche filter, which was pre-loaded with about 1 cm thick silica gel (7.50 kg). The filter cake was soaked and washed with ethyl acetate (14.40 kg) before filtration. The filtrates were combined and the combined filtrate was added into a 72 L flask through an in-line fluid filter. The mixture was concentrated at T≤40°C under reduced pressure (P<-0.08 MPa) until 3-4 L remained. Then MTBE (4.78 kg) was added into the mixture. The mixture was cooled to 0-10°C for crystallization with stirring. After 1 h, the mixture was sampled and analyzed by wt% every 1-2 h until the wt% of the mother liquor was <5% or the change of wt% between consecutive samples was <1%. The mixture was filtered with a vacuum filter flask and the filter cake was dried in the tray drier under nitrogen at 30-40°C until KF<0.5%. 3.55 kg of product was recovered as an off-white solid at 100% purity.

EXAMPLE 3A

Preparation of 4-(5-Chloro-2-isopropylaminopyridin-4-yl)-1 H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid [1 -(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amide Form C

4-(5-Chloro-2-isopropylaminopyridin-4-yl)-1 H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid [1 -(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amide Form C was prepared from 4-(5-Chloro-2-isopropylaminopyridin-4-yl)-1 H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid [1 -(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amide free base as follows. ASYM-1 1 1935 (10.4 kg) was added to a stirred mixture of anhydrous ethanol (73.9 kg), methanol (4.1 kg) and isopropanol (4.1 kg). The mixture was heated to 70-75°C and stirred until all the solids dissolved. Anhydrous HCI (37 wt%, 1 .1 eq) in a mixture of ethanol/methanol/isopropanol (90:5:5) was added and the mixture maintained at 70-75°C for 2 hours after the addition was completed. The mixture was then cooled to 15-25°C at a rate of 5-15°C per hour and stirred at this temperature until the desired polymorphic purity was reached. The end point of the crystallization/polymorph conversion was

determined by the absence of an XRPD peak at about 10.5° 2Θ in three successive samples.

The mixture was then filtered and washed successively with a pre-prepared solution of anhydrous ethanol (14.8 kg), methanol (0.8 kg) and isopropanol (0.8 kg), followed by MTBE (2 x 21 kg). Avoidance of delay in the washing of the filter cake is preferable because the polymorph may be unstable in the wet filter cake in the presence of reagent alcohol and improved stability was observed after the MTBE wash has been performed. The wet filter cake was then dried in a heated filter funnel or a tray drier at 40-50°C until dry. Typical yields were about 85-90%.

The alcohol / HCI solution (0.519 kg) prepared above was added dropwise into the mixture at the rate of 0.5-1.0 kg/h at 70-75°C. Seed crystal (0.009 kg) was added into the mixture and the alcohol / HCI solution (0.173 kg) prepared above was added into the mixture at the rate of 0.5-1 .0 kg/h at 70-75°C. After addition, the mixture was stirred for 1 -2 h at 70-75°C. The mixture was cooled to 15-25°C at the rate of 5-15°C/h and stirred for 4-6 h. The mixture was heated to 70-75°C at the rate of 15-25°C/h and stirred for 8-10 h at 70-75°C. The mixture was cooled to 15-25°C at the rate of 5-15°C/h and stirred for 4-6 h. The mixture was filtered with a vacuum filter flask. The filter cake was soaked and rinsed with a solution which was prepared from anhydrous ethanol (4.25 kg) and methanol (0.24 kg) and isopropanol (0.24 kg) before filtration. The filter cake was dried in a drying room under nitrogen at 40-50°C until the ethanol residue was <0.5% and methanol residue was <0.3% and isopropanol residue was <0.3%. 2.89 kg of product was recovered as a white solid at 99.97% purity.

The continuous flow Barbier reaction: an improved environmental alternative to the Grignard reaction?

August 15, 2016 6:15 am / Leave a comment

Green Chemistry International

A key pharmaceutical intermediate (1) for production of edivoxetine·HCl was prepared in >99% ee via a continuous Barbier reaction, which improves the greenness of the process relative to a traditional Grignard batch process. The Barbier flow process was run optimally by Eli Lilly and Company in a series of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) where residence times, solventcomposition, stoichiometry, and operations temperature were optimized to produce 12 g h⁻¹crude ketone 6 with 98% ee and 88% in situ yield for 47 hours total flow time. Continuous salt formation and isolation of intermediate 1 from the ketone solution was demonstrated at 89% yield, >99% purity, and 22 g h⁻¹ production rates using MSMPRs in series for 18 hours total flow time. Key benefits to this continuous approach include greater than 30% reduced process mass intensity and magnesium usage relative to a traditional batch process. In addition…

Flow Grignard and Lithiation: Screening Tools and Development of Continuous Processes for a Benzyl Alcohol Starting Material

August 15, 2016 6:08 am / Leave a comment

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY SELECT

Abstract Image

Efficient continuous Grignard and lithiation processes were developed to produce one of the key regulatory starting materials for the production of edivoxetine hydrochoride. For the Grignard process, organometallic reagent formation, Bouveault formylation, reduction, and workup steps were run in continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs). The lithiation utilized a hybrid approach where plug flow reactors (PFRs) were used for the metal halogen exchange and Bouveault formylation steps, while the reduction and workup steps were performed in CSTRs. Relative to traditional batch processing, both approaches offer significant advantages. Both processes were high-yielding and produced the product in high purity. The two main processes were directly compared from a number of perspectives including reagent and operational safety, fouling potential, process footprint, need for manual operation, and product yield and purity.

Darolutamide (INN) (developmental code names ODM-201, 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]

Orion and licensee Bayer are co-developing darolutamide, an androgen receptor antagonist, for treating castration-resistant prostate cancer and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. In August 2016, darolutamide was reported to be in phase 3 clinical development. The drug appears to be first disclosed in WO2011051540, claiming novel heterocyclic derivatives as tissue-selective androgen receptor modulators, useful for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Mode of action

Relative to enzalutamide (MDV3100 or Xtandi) and apalutamide (ARN-509), two other recent non-steroidal antiandrogens, darolutamide shows some advantages.^[3] Darolutamide 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, darolutamide does not seem to increase testosterone levels in mice or humans, unlike other non-steroidal antiandrogens.^[3] Another advantage is that darolutamide 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 apalutamide.^[3] Finally, darolutamide shows higher affinity and inhibitory efficacy at the AR (K_i = 11 nM relative to 86 nM for enzalutamide and 93 nM for apalutamide; IC₅₀ = 26 nM relative to 219 nM for enzalutamide and 200 nM for apalutamide) and greater potency/efficaciousness in non-clinical models of prostate cancer.^[3]

ORM-15341 is the main active metabolite of darolutamide.^[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]

Clinical trials

Darolutamide 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, darolutamide is in phase III trials for CRPC.^[3]

Representative binding affinities of ODM-201, ORM-15341, enzalutamide, and ARN-509 measured in competition with [³H]mibolerone using wtAR isolated from rat ventral prostates (C). All data points are means of quadruplicates ±SEM. Ki values are presented in parentheses. D. Antagonism to wtAR was determined using AR-HEK293 cells treated with ODM-201, ORM-15341, enzalutamide, or ARN-509 together with 0.45 nM testosterone in steroid-depleted medium for 24 hours before luciferase activity measurements. 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.

Scheme 1.

For example, Codexis KRED-130 and KRED -NADH-110 enzymes are useful for obtaining excellent stereoselectivity, even stereospecificity. In Scheme 1 the starting material 1 is preferably an ester (R= Ci_6 alkyl), for example ethyl ester (R=ethyl), such as to facilitate extraction of the product into the organic phase as the compound where R=H has a tendency to remain in the water phase. Intermediate 2 can be protected, preferably with silyl derivatives such as tert-butyldiphenylsilyl, in order to avoid esterification in amidation step. In the case of R=Ci_6 alkyl, ester hydrolysis is typically performed before amidation step, preferably in the presence of LiOH, NaOH or KOH. Amidation from compound 3 to compound 5_is suitably carried out using EDCI HBTU, DIPEA system but using other typical amidation methods is also possible. Deprotection of 5 give pure diastereomers (la) and (lb).

Pyrazole ring without NH substitution is known tautomerizable functionality and is described here only as single tautomer but every intermediate and end product here can exist in both tautomeric forms at the same time.

The stereochemistry of the compounds can be confirmed by using optically pure starting materials with known absolute configuration as demonstrated in Scheme 2, wherein R=H or Ci_6 alkyl, preferably alkyl, for example ethyl. The end products of Scheme 2 are typically obtained as a mixture of tautomers at +300K 1H-NMR analyses in DMSO.

Scheme 2. Synthesis pathway to stereoisomers by using starting materials with known absolute configuration

The crystalline forms I, Γ and Γ ‘ of compounds (I), (la) and (lb), respectively, can be prepared, for example, by dissolving the compound in question in an

acetonitrile: water mixture having volume ratio from about 85: 15 to about 99: 1, such as from about 90: 10 to about 98:2, for example about 95:5, under heating and slowly cooling the solution until the crystalline form precipitates from the solution. The concentration of the compound in the acetonitrile: water solvent mixture is suitably about 1 kg of the compound in 5-25 liters of acetonitrile: water solvent mixture, for example 1 kg of the compound in 10-20 liters of acetonitrile: water solvent mixture. The compound is suitably dissolved in the acetonitrile: water solvent mixture by heating the solution, for example near to the reflux temperature, for example to about 60-80 °C, for example to about 75 °C, under stirring and filtering if necessary. The solution is suitably then cooled to about 0-50 °C, for example to about 5-35 °C, for example to about RT, over about 5 to about 24 hours, for example over about 6 to 12 hours, and stirred at this temperature for about 3 to 72 hours, for example for about 5 to 12 hours. The obtained crystalline product can then be filtered, washed, and dried. The drying is suitably carried out in vacuum at about 40 to 60 °C, for example at 55 °C, for about 1 to 24 hours, such as for about 2 to 12 hours, for example 2 to 6 hours.

The crystalline forms I, Γ and I” of compounds (I), (la) and (lb), respectively, are useful as medicaments and can be formulated into pharmaceutical dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules for oral administration, by mixing with pharmaceutical excipients known in the art.

OLPATADINE

SEE FOR SYNTHESIS http://www.allfordrugs.com/2016/08/10/olopatadine/

Olopatadine hydrochloride is an antihistamine (as well as anticholinergic and mast cell stabilizer), sold as a prescription eye dropmanufactured by Alcon in one of three strengths: 0.7% solution or Pazeo in the US, 0.2% solution or Pataday (also called Patanol Sin some countries), and 0.1% or Patanol (also called Opatanol in some countries). It is used to treat itching associated with allergicconjunctivitis (eye allergies). A decongestant nasal spray formulation is sold as Patanase, which was approved by the FDA on April 15, 2008.^[1] It is also available as an oral tablet in Japan under the tradename Allelock, manufactured by Kyowa Hakko Kogyo.^[2]

It should not be used to treat irritation caused by contact lenses. The usual dose for Patanol is 1 drop in each affected eye 2 times per day, with 6 to 8 hours between doses. Both Pazeo and Pataday are dosed 1 drop in each eye daily.

There is potential for Olopatadine as a treatment modality for steroid rebound (red skin syndrome).^[3]

Olopatadine was developed by Kyowa Hakko Kogyo.^[4]

Side Effects

Some known side effects include headache (7% of occurrence), eye burning and/or stinging (5%), blurred vision, dry eyes, foreign body sensation, hyperemia, keratitis, eyelid edema, pruritus, asthenia, sore throat (pharyngitis), rhinitis, sinusitis, and taste perversion.

Convert a Drowning Ocean into your Swimming Pool

Convert a drowning ocean into your swimming pool

Anthony Melvin Crasto Ph.D

Worlddrugtracker, Principal scientist, Process research, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd

If you find a situation in life which is similar to a drowning ocean, then rather than struggling for survival, pull few people to shore, you will find the drowning ocean like a swimming pool.

I suffered a paralytic stroke in 2007, called acute transverse mylitis and was bedridden, now wheelchair bound with 90% paralysis.

I faced a hopeless situation and in the process of pulling myself out of crisis helped millions in my field of profession to overcome day to day hurdles.

I worked on a simple plan, collect information from “free” sources and put them in one place, a week search then reduced to 5 minutes appreciation. A browsing junior gets the info and becomes happy to collect more on his own, no doubt the initial “leads” makes him confident to understand the subject.

It puts a financial burden on me and my family who have to sacrifice some money for subscriptions to blog operators, My family skips some luxuries and some necessities to provide the support system

Ego, anger, anxiety, crookedness, hatred, individualism, cruelty, all do not allow you to share, one accumulates wealth but not knowledge and becomes rusty, angry, with all sorts of prejudices. “Starts hiding everywhere” attitude seen.

One who shares, learns, accumulates and enhances his knowledge and skills. perfects them, invites criticism and corrects on the same, then shapes into a bright, honest, knowledgeable and liked individual.

In real life please pull people out of trouble, you will find your own troubles disappearing.

My single blog out of my 15 blogs has taken 13 lakh+ hits till Aug16 and 2 lakh+ viewers in US alone, with audiences in 212 countries

Link is NEW DRUG APPROVALS, https://newdrugapprovals.wordpress.com/

Till date I have 25 lakh+ views on my blogs, 9.5 million google hits, 2.5 lakh + connections worldwide.

CASE STUDIES

1] DISCRIMINATION

Tackle it by remaining cool, and than using it as jet fuel to propel your flight of dreams. luckily you get free fuel, why grumble. Remember Mahatma Gandhi and train in south africa

2] ANGER

If you are angry use it as fuel into your success reactor to generate power within you to succeed, thank the person who creates anger in you, he/she is actually helping you. Do not react back you will fail and get trapped

3] INSULT

Mahabharata war was won on insult initiation

4] SOCIAL VIEWS, PARTY AND CONFEReNCES

A rich man walls in to a party, is offered drinks, dances, praised, he is recognized, but a lesser privileged hides in a corner table, grumbles for everything and is not noticed.

A knowledgeable person in a Technical meet bubbles with energy, answers queries and is everywhere, but a lesser guy visits the washroom several times, hides/runs everywhere, is busy on fake phone calls, acts stupidly. The crowd is not a a fool it knows everything.

Conclusion………Observer knows you by actions, “BUSY” is fooling yourself

Dolutegravir Sodium

C₂₀H₁₈F₂N₃NaO₅ : 441.36
[1051375-19-9]

Dolutegravir (DTG, GSK1349572) is an integrase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) on behalf of Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare LLC. DTG is metabolized primarily by uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase (UGT)1A1, with a minor role of cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A, and with renal elimination of unchanged drug being extremely low (< 1% of the dose).

Dolutegravir sodium was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Aug 12, 2013, then approved by European Medicine Agency (EMA) on Jan 16, 2014, and approved by Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan (PMDA) on Mar 24, 2014, then approved by Center For Drug Evaluation (CFDA) on Dec 30, 2015. It was co-developed by GlaxoSmithKline & ViiV Healthcare Corporation, then marketed as Tivicay^® by ViiV Healthcare in the US and EU and by GlaxoSmithKline & ViiV Healthcare Corporation in JP.

Dolutegravir sodium is an integrase inhibitor which blocks HIV replication by preventing the viral DNA from integrating into the genetic material of human immune cells (T-cells). This step is essential in the HIV replication cycle and is also responsible for establishing chronic infection. It is in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults and children aged 12 years and older and weighing at least 40 kg.

Tivicay^® is available as film-coated tablet for oral use, containing 50 mg of free Dolutegravir. The recommended dose is 50 mg Dolutegravir once daily without regards to meals.

The European Commission has on 21 January 2014 Dolutegravir (Tivicay, ViiV) permit as part of combination therapy for the treatment of HIV-infected persons over the age of 12 years.Dolutegravir (Tivicay, ViiV) is an integrase inhibitor, in combination with other antiretroviral drugs in adults and adolescents can be used from 12 years for the treatment of HIV infection.

Source: Communication from the European Commission

Dolutegravir^[1] is a FDA-approved drug^[2] for the treatment of HIV infection. Dolutegravir is an integrase inhibitor. Known as S/GSK1349572 or just “572” the drug is marketed as Tivicay^[3] by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). In February, 2013 the Food and Drug Administration announced that it would fast track dolutegravir’s approval process.^[4] On August 13, 2013, dolutegravir was approved by the FDA. On November 4, 2013, dolutegravir was approved by Health Canada.^[5]

The oral HIV integrase inhibitor S-349572 was originated by Shionogi-GlaxoSmithKline and Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare. In 2013, the product was approved and launched in the U.S. for the treatment of HIV-1 in adults and children aged 12 years and older, in combination with other antiretroviral agents. A positive opinion was received in the E.U for this indication and, in 2014, approval was attained in Europe for this indication. Registration is pending in Japan.

In 2013, orphan drug designation in Japan was assigned to the compound.

Dolutegravir is approved for use in a broad population of HIV-infected patients. It can be used to treat HIV-infected adults who have never taken HIV therapy (treatment-naïve) and HIV-infected adults who have previously taken HIV therapy (treatment-experienced), including those who have been treated with other integrase strand transfer inhibitors. Tivicay is also approved for children ages 12 years and older weighing at least 40 kilograms (kg) who are treatment-naïve or treatment-experienced but have not previously taken other integrase strand transfer inhibitors.^[6]

Dolutegravir has also been compared head-to-head with a preferred regimen from the DHHS guidelines in each of the three classes (i.e. 1.) nuc + non-nuc, 2.) nuc + boosted PI, and 3.) nuc + integrase inhibitor).

SPRING-2 compared dolutegravir to another integrase inhibitor, raltegravir, with both coformulated with a choice of TDF/FTC orABC/3TC. After 48 weeks of treatment 88% of those on dolutegravir had less than 50 copies of HIV per mL compared to 85% in the raltegravir group, thus demonstrating non-inferiority.^[9]

The FLAMINGO study has been presented at scientific meetings but as of early 2014 has not yet been published. It is an open-label trial of dolutegravir versus darunavir boosted with ritonavir. In this trial 90% of those on dolutegravir based regimens had viral loads < 50 at 48 weeks compared to 83% in the darunavir/r.^[10] This 7% difference was statistically significant for superiority of the dolutegravir based regimens.

Another trial comparing dolutegravir to efavirenz, SINGLE, was the first trial to show statistical superiority to an efavirenz/FTC/TDF coformulated regimen for treatment naive patients.^[11] After 48 weeks of treatment, 88% of the dolutegravir group had HIV RNA levels < 50 copies / mL versus 81% of the efavirenz group. This has led one commentator to predict that it may replace efavirenz as the first line choice for initial therapy as it can also be formulated in one pill, once-a-day regimens.^[12]

Doultegravir has also been studied in patients who have been on previous antiretroviral medications. The VIKING trial looked at patients who had known resistance to the first generation integrase inhibitor raltegravir. After 24 weeks 41% of patients on 50mg dolutegravir once daily and 75% of patients on 50mg twice daily (both along with an optimized background regimen) achieved an HIV RNA viral load of < 50 copies per mL. This demonstrated that there was little clinical cross-resistance between the two integrase inhibitors. ^[13]

Dolutegravir (also known as S/GSK1349572), a second-generation integrase inhibitor under development by GlaxoSmithKline and its Japanese partner Shionogi for the treatment of HIV infection, was given priority review status from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February, 2013.

GlaxoSmithKline marketed the first HIV drug Retrovir in 1987 before losing out to Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD) as the world’s biggest maker of AIDS medicines. The virus became resistant to Retrovir when given on its own, leading to the development of therapeutic cocktails.

The new once-daily drug Dolutegravir, which belongs to a novel class known as integrase inhibitors that block the virus causing AIDS from entering cells, is owned by ViiV Healthcare, a joint venture focused on HIV in which GSK is the largest shareholder.

Raltegravir (brand name Isentress) received approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 12 October 2007, the first of a new class of HIV drugs, the integrase inhibitors, to receive such approval. it is a potent and well tolerated antiviral agent. However, it has the limitations of twice-daily dosing and a relatively modest genetic barrier to the development of resistance, prompting the search for agents with once-daily dosing.

Elvitegravir, approved by the FDA on August 27, 2012 as part of theelvitegravir/cobicistat/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine fixed-dose combination pill (Quad pill, brand name Stribild) has the benefit of being part of a one-pill, once-daily regimen, but suffers from extensive cross-resistance with raltegravir.

DOLUTEGRAVIR

Gilead’s Atripla (Emtricitabine/Tenofovir/efavirenz), approved in 2006 with loss of patent protection in 20121, is the top-selling HIV treatment. The $3.2 billion medicine combines three drugs in one pill, two compounds that make up Gilead’s Truvada (Emtricitabine/Tenofovir) and Bristol- Myers Squibb Co.’s Sustiva (Efavirenz).

A three-drug combination containing dolutegravir and ViiV’s older two-in-one treatment Epzicom(Abacavir/Lamivudine, marketed outside US as Kivexa) proved better than Gilead’s market-leading Atripla in a clinical trial released in July, 2012 (See the Full Conference Report Here), suggesting it may supplant the world’s best-selling AIDS medicine as the preferred front-line therapy. In the latest Phase III study, after 48 weeks of treatment, 88% of patients taking the dolutegravir-based regimen had reduced viral levels to the goal compared with 81% of patients taking Atripla. More patients taking Atripla dropped out of the study because of adverse events compared with those taking dolutegravir — 10% versus just 2% — which was the main driver of the difference in efficacy. The result was the second positive final-stage clinical read-out for dolutegravir, following encouraging results against U.S. company Merck & Co’s rival Isentress in April, 2012 (See the Conference Abstract Here)..

Dolutegravir is viewed by analysts as a potential multibillion-dollar-a-year seller, as its once-daily dosing is likely to be attractive to patients. The FDA is scheduled to issue a decision on the drug’s approval by August 17。

TIVICAY contains dolutegravir, as dolutegravir sodium, an HIV INSTI. The chemical name of dolutegravir sodium is sodium (4R,12aS)-9-{[(2,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]carbamoyl}-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-3,4,6,8,12,12a-hexahydro-2H-pyrido[1′,2′:4,5]pyrazino[2,1-b][1,3]oxazin-7-olate. The empirical formula is C₂₀H₁₈F₂N₃NaO₅ and the molecular weight is 441.36 g/mol. It has the following structural formula:

TIVICAY (dolutegravir) Structural Formula Illustration

INTRODUCTION

Among viruses, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a kind of retrovirus, is known to cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The therapeutic agent for AIDS is mainly selected from a group of reverse transcriptase inhibitors (e.g., AZT, 3TC) and protease inhibitors (e.g., Indinavir), but they are proved to be accompanied by side effects such as nephropathy and the emergence of resistant viruses. Thus, the development of anti-HIV agents having the other mechanism of action has been desired.

On the other hand, a combination therapy is reported to be efficient in treatment for AIDS because of the frequent emergence of the resistant mutant. Reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors are clinically used as an anti-HIV agent, however agents having the same mechanism of action often exhibit cross-resistance or only an additional activity. Therefore, anti-HIV agents having the other mechanism of action are desired.

Under the circumstances above, an HIV integrase inhibitor has been focused on as an anti-HIV agent having a novel mechanism of action (Ref: Patent Documents 1 and 2). As an anti-HIV agent having such a mechanism of action, known are carbamoyl-substituted hydroxypyrimidinone derivative (Ref: Patent Documents 3 and 4) and carbamoyl-substituted hydroxypyrrolidione derivative (Ref: Patent Document 5). Further, a patent application concerning carbamoyl-substituted hydroxypyridone derivative has been filed (Ref: Patent Document 6, Example 8).

Other known carbamoylpyridone derivatives include 5-alkoxypyridine-3-carboxamide derivatives and γ-pyrone-3-carboxamide derivatives, which are a plant growth inhibitor or herbicide (Ref: Patent Documents 7-9).

Other HIV integrase inhibitors include N-containing condensed cyclic compounds (Ref: Patent Document 10).

Dolutegravir sodium (Tivicay®), developed and marketed by GlaxoSmithKline,45 was approved by the FDA in August 2013 as a novel integrase inhibitor for the treatment of HIV infection.46 Dolutegravir was fast-tracked by the FDA in February 2012,47 and joins an important class of drugs known as Integrase Strand Transfer inhibitors (INSTi’s).48 INSTi’s are characterized by their two-metal-chelating scaffolds, which are known to chelate Mg2+ cofactors in the enzyme active site,49, 50 interrupting function of HIV-1 integrase, which is essential for replication of viral DNA into host chromatin.49-51,52 Other drugs in this class, raltegravir and elvitegravir, are known to require either high dosages53 or PK boosting agents,54 respectively, with raltegravir also exhibiting substantial loss of potency in several major HIV-1 integrase mutation pathways.55 Dolutegravir was pursued with the goal of developing a INSTi with a once-daily, low-dosage treatment with improved resistance profile and without the
need for the use of a PK boosting agent.51, 56 Dolutegravir sodium has been approved for treating a broad
population of HIV-infected patients, including adults undergoing their first treatment as well as those
who have been treated with other integrase transfer strand inhibiting agents.46 The most likely process-scale synthesis of dolutegravir sodium, as described in Scheme 8, began with benzyl protection and alkylation of pyrone 46 with benzaldehyde, yielding alcohol 47 in 74% over 2 steps (Scheme 8).57, 58 Alcohol mesylation and in-situ elimination provided the styrenyl olefin 48 in 94% yield, which further underwent an oxidative cleavage of the olefin to generate 49 by sequential addition of RuCl3/NaIO4 and NaClO2 (56% overall yield). Treatment of pyranone 49 with 3-amino-propane-2-diol (50) in ethanol at elevated temperatures delivered the corresponding pyridinone in 83% yield, and this was followed by esterification and sodium periodate-mediated diol cleavage to furnish intermediate 51 in 71% overall yield across the two-step sequence.57, 58 Next, the key ring-forming step in the
synthesis of dolutegravir sodium consisted of cyclization of 51 with (R)-3-amino-butan-1-ol, a process which relies on substrate control to provide the desired tricyclic carbamoylpyridone system 52 in high stereoselectivity (20/1 in favor of the desired isomer).51 Previously, cyclization of systems such as 51 with unsubstituted amino alcohols were found to yield a mixture of diastereomeric products, therefore indicating the pivotal role of the chiral amino alcohol in influencing stereochemical bias during the overall cyclization step.51, 56 In practice, reaction of 51 with (R)-3-amino-butan-1-ol at 90 °C led to isolation of a single cyclization product 52, after recrystallization from EtOAc.57, 58 From 52, Nbromosuccinimide (NBS) bromination and subsequent treatment with amine 53 under palladiumcatalyzed
amidocarbonylative conditions led to amide 54 in 75% yield over 2 steps. Finally, removal of the benzyl group and subsequent crystallization using sodium hydroxide in water and ethanol provided dolutegravir sodium (VII) in 99% yield.57, 58

We report herein the discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) integrase inhibitors dolutegravir (S/GSK1349572) (3) and S/GSK1265744 (4). These drugs stem from a series of carbamoyl pyridone analogues designed using a two-metal chelation model of the integrase catalytic active site. Structure–activity studies evolved a tricyclic series of carbamoyl pyridines that demonstrated properties indicative of once-daily dosing and superior potency against resistant viral strains. An inherent hemiaminal ring fusion stereocenter within the tricyclic carbamoyl pyridone scaffold led to a critical substrate controlled diastereoselective synthetic strategy whereby chiral information from small readily available amino alcohols was employed to control relative and absolute stereochemistry of the final drug candidates. Modest to extremely high levels of stereochemical control were observed depending on ring size and position of the stereocenter. This approach resulted in the discovery of 3 and 4, which are currently in clinical development.

Formula A

known by the INN name dolutegravir, is a new efficient antiviral agent from the group of HIV integrase inhibitors which is used in combination with some other antiviral agents for treatment of HIV infections, such as AIDS. The compound, which belongs to condensed polycyclic pyridines and was first disclosed in WO2006/1 16764, is marketed.

Another compound disclosed in WO2006/1 16764 is (3S, 1 1 aR)-N-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]-6-hydroxy-3-methyl-5,7-dioxo-2,3,5,7, 1 1 ,1 1 a-hexahydro[1 ,3]oxazolo[3,2-a]pyrido[1 ,2-d]pyrazine-8-carboxamide (Formula

Formula C

known by the INN name cabotegravir.

The complex structures of dolutegravir and cabotegravir present a synthetic challenge. The first description of the synthesis in WO2006/1 16764 shows a 16-steps synthesis (see Scheme A), which is industrially impractical due to its length and low overall yield.

Scheme A

WO 2010/068253 and WO 2006/1 16764 describe an alternative synthesis. The 1 1 -step synthesis, shown in Scheme B1 and Scheme B2, is based on bromination of the 9-position for further introduction of the carboxylic group. The synthesis relies on the use of expensive palladium catalysts and toxic selenium compounds. Furthermore, some variations of these approaches involve pyrone intermediates in several steps. In some cases pyrones are liquids which can complicate purification, while further reactions form complex mixtures.

Scheme B2

In further alternative syntheses, acetoacetates were used as starting materials. Such an approach is challenging in terms of introducing the hydroxy group in the 7-position. The variation in Scheme C1 , described in WO2012/018065, starts from 4-benzyloxyacetoacetate. The procedure requires 9 steps, but use expensive reagents like palladium catalysts. Moreover, there is described a possibility of formation a co-crystal between an intermediate and hydroquinone, wherein however the additional step may diminish yields and make the process longer and time consuming.

Scheme C1

The variation in Scheme C2, described in WO2012/018065, starts from 4-chloroacetoacetate. The process is not optimal because of problems in steps which include pyrones and because of problems with conversion of 7-chloro to 7-hydroxy group which includes a disadvantageous use of silanolates with low yield (25%).

Scheme C2

The variation in Scheme C3, described in WO201 1/1 19566, starts from unsubstituted acetoacetate. For the introduction of the 7-hydroxy group, bromination is used and substitution of bromo with hydroxy is performed by a use of silanolates. The substitution of the bromine is achieved in a 43% yield.

Scheme C3

The variation in Scheme C4, described in WO201 1/1 19566, starts from 4-methoxyacetoacetate aiming at preparing dolutegravir or cabotegravir. The process uses lithium bases to affect a difficult to control selective monohydrolysis of a diester.

(I)

WO 2010/068253 A1 discloses a monohydrate and an anhydrous form of dolutegravir sodium as well as a crystalline form of the free compound. Processes for the preparation of said forms are also provided in the application.

WO 2013/038407 A1 discloses amorphous dolutegravir sodium and processes for preparing the same.

Hydrates of pharmaceutical drug substances are of particular interest as they provide new opportunities for preparing novel pharmaceutical compositions with improved quality, activity and/or compliance. This is due to the fact that hydrates have different physicochemical properties compared to their anhydrous counterparts such as melting point, density, habitus, chemical and physical stability, hygroscopicity, dissolution rate, solubility, bioavailability etc., which influence the formulation process and also impact the final drug product.

If an anhydrous form is selected, phase changes during the formulation process induced by hydrate formation must be avoided. This can be particularly difficult if for example wet granulation is used with a substance that is able to form hydrates like dolutegravir sodium.

Hence, a stable hydrate of dolutegravir sodium would allow to easily formulate dolutegravir sodium in a controlled manner and subsequently also facilitate storage and packaging.

However, the so far known dolutegravir sodium monohydrate disclosed in WO 2010/068253 A1 shows excessive water uptake when exposed to moisture and on the other hand already dehydrates below 30% relative humidity.

Therefore, there is a need for hydrates of dolutegravir sodium with improved physicochemical properties, e.g. for hydrates which are stable over a broad humidity range, in particular for hydrates absorbing only low amounts of water at elevated humidity and on the other hand preserving their crystal structure also at dry conditions. In addition, there is a need for pharmaceutical compositions comprising these hydrates, and thus also for hydrates that allow for improved formulation of dolutegravir sodium in pharmaceutical compositions.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel hydrates of dolutegravir sodium and to processes for their preparation. Specifically, the present invention provides crystalline forms of dolutegravir sodium of formula (I) according to respective claims 1 , 5 and 6, with preferred embodiments being set forth in sub-claim 2. The present invention also provides processes for their preparation according to respective claims 3, 7 and 8, with preferred process embodiments being set forth in sub-claim 4. The present invention further provides the uses according to claims 9 and 16, and a pharmaceutical composition according to claim 10, and preferred embodiments thereof according to sub-claims 1 1 and 12. The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of the pharmaceutical composition according to claim

13, and preferred embodiments thereof according to sub-claim 14. The pharmaceutical composition for therapeutic use is set forth in claim 15.

The novel hydrates are physically and chemically stable over a broad humidity range, show only low water uptakes when exposed to moisture and are even stable at dry conditions. Therefore, the novel hydrates are especially suitable for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions, e.g. in terms of time and costs.

In particular, it has been found that crystal Form HxA exhibits improved properties which allow for improved formulation of Form HxA in pharmaceutical compositions.

In addition, the present invention relates to a novel crystalline form of dolutegravir sodium, which, for the first time, allows the preparation of one of the novel hydrates and is therefore a valuable intermediate.

Dolutegravir (I) is chemically known as (4/?,12aS)-N-[(2,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]-3,4,6,8,12,12a-hexahydro-7-hydroxy-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-2//-pyrido[r,2′:4,5]pyrazino[2,l-b][l,3]oxazine-9-carboxamide. Dolutegravir is a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) indicated in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Dolutegravir is being marketed under the trade name Tivicay®. US 8,129,385 disclosed Dolutegravir or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. US ‘385 also discloses a process for the preparation of Dolutegravir (I). The process involves the condensation of 5-benzyloxy-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl nicotinic acid (II) with 2,4-difluorobenzylamine (III) to produce 5-benzyloxy-N-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl nicotinic acid amide (IV), which is further under goes oxidation using manganese dioxide (Mn02) to produce 5-benzyloxy-N-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-6-formyl-4-hydroxy-nicotinic acid amide (V). This amide compound (V) is reacted with sodium chlorite (NaClCh) to produce 3-benzyloxy-5-(2,4-difluorobenzylcarbamoyl)-4- hydroxy-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (VI), which is further treated with methanol (MeOH) to produce 3-benzyloxy-5-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-4-hydroxy-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (VII).

The methyl ester compound (VII) is reacted with 3-bromopropene to produce l-allyl-3-benzyloxy-5-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-4-oxo-l,4-dihydro-pyridine-2- carboxylic acid methyl ester (VIII), which is further reacted with potassium osmate dihydrate (K2OSO4.2H2O) to produce 3-benzyloxy-5-(2,4-difluorobenzylcarbamoyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxo-ethyl)-l,4-dihydropyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (IX). The compound (IX) is reacted with (R)-3-amino-l-butanol (X) to produce benzyloxy Dolutegravir (XI), which is deprotected by treating with TFA to produce Dolutegravir (I). The process is as shown in scheme-I below:

The major disadvantage with the above prior-art process is that it involves large no of steps and tedious work-up procedures to isolate the required product. This results a longer period of time cycle is required to produce Dolutegravir (I), which in turn renders the process more costly and less eco friendly. Further the above processes are low yielding and with less purity. US 8,217,034 discloses variant process for the preparation of Dolutegravir.

This process involves the reaction of methyl l-(2,2-dihydroxyethyl)-4-oxo-3-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-l,4-dihydro-2-pyridine carboxylate (XII) with (R)-3-amino-l-butanol (X) to produce (4R, 12o5)-4-methyl-7-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-3,4,12,12a-tetrahydro-2//-pyrido[ 1 \2′,4,5] pyrazino[2,l-b][l,3]oxazine-6,8-dione (XIII), which is further undergoes bromination using NBS to produce (4R,12aS)-9-bromo-4-methyl-7-[(phenylmethyl)oxy]-3,4,12,12a-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[r,2′:4,5]pyrazino[2,l-b][l,3]oxazine-6,8-dione (XIV). The bromo Compound (XIV) is condensed with 2,4-difluorobenzylamine (III) in the presence of Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (Pd(PPh3)4) to produce benzyloxy Dolutegravir (XI), which is hydrogenated in the presence of Pd/C to produce Dolutegravir (I). The process is as shown in Scheme-II below:

The major disadvantage with the above prior art process of preparing Dolutegravir is the use of expensive reagent tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (Pd(PPh3)4> in coupling step. Use of this reagent on industrial scale is not preferred, which makes the process more expensive. WO 2011/119566 discloses another variant process for the preparation of Dolutegravir.

This process involves the reaction of l-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-5-methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XV) with acetic acid in presence of methane sulfonic acid to produce 5-methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxoethyl)-l,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XVI), which is further condensed with (R)-3-amino-l-butanol (X) to produce (4R,12aS)-7-methoxy-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-3,4,6,8,12,12a-hexahydro-2//-pyrido[ 1 ‘,2’:4,5]pyrazino[2,1 -b] [ 1,3]-oxazine-9-carboxylic acid (XVII). This acid Compound XVII is acylated with 2,4-difluorobenzylamine (III) in the presence of carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) to produce methoxy Dolutegravir (XVIII), which is demethylated in the presence of lithium bromide (LiBr) to produce Dolutegravir (I).

The process is as shown in Scheme-3 below:

The major disadvantage of the above prior art process of preparing Dolutegravir is the use of expensive and highly moisture sensitive reagent, 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), during acylation. Use of this reagent on industrial scale is not preferred due to anhydrous conditions required in the process. However, there is always a need for alternative preparative routes, which for example, involve fewer steps, use reagents that are less expensive and/or easier to handle, consume smaller amounts of reagents, provide a higher yield of product, have smaller and/or more eco-friendly waste products, and/or provide a product of higher purity. Hence, there is a need to develop cost effective and commercially viable process for the preparation of Dolutegravir of formula (I). The present invention is related to a process for the preparation of pure Dolutegravir of formula (I), wherein optically active acid addition salt of (R)-3-amino-l-butanol (X) is directly condensed with 5-methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxoethyl)-l,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XVI) instead of condensing with free base of (R)-3-amino-1-butanol (X). The present invention is also related to a process for the preparation of pure Dolutegravir of formula (I), wherein, inexpensive and easily handling condensing reagents in the condensation of (4R, 12aS)-7-methoxy-4-methyl-6,8-dioxo-3,4,6,8,12,12a-hexahydro-2//-pyrido[l’,2′:4,5]pyrazino [2,l-b][l,3]oxazine-9-carboxylic acid (XVII) with 2,4-difluorobenzylamine (III).

In another embodiment, 5-methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxoethyl)-l,4- dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XVI) used in the present invention is prepared by reacting 4-methoxyacetoacetate (XIX) with N,N-dimethyl-l,l- bis(methyloxy)methanamine (DMF-DMA) (XX) to produce methyl-2- (dimethylaminomethylene)-4-methoxy-3-oxo-butanoate(methyl-3-(dimethylamino)-2 [(methyloxy)acetyl]-2-propenoate) (XXI), which is reacted with aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal (XXII) to produce methyl-2-(2,2-dimethoxyethylaminomethylene)-4-methoxy-3-oxo-butanoate(methyl-3-{[2,2-bis(methyloxy)ethyl]amino}-2-[(methyloxy) acetyl]-2-propenoate) (XXIII).

The compound (XXIII) is contacted with dimethyl ethanedioate in presence of alkali metal alkoxide to produce dimethyl-1-(2,2-dimethoxyethyl)-3-methoxy-4-oxo-l ,4-dihydropyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate (XXIV), which is selectively hydrolyzed with a base to produce l-[2,2-bis(methyloxy)ethyl]-5-(methyloxy)-6-[(methyloxy)carbonyl]-4-oxo-l ,4-dihydro-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (XV). The compound (XV) is treated with a catalytic amount of a strong protic acid in the presence of acetic acid in an organic solvent to produce a reaction mixture containing 5- methoxy-6-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-oxo-l-(2-oxoethyl)-l,4-dihydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid (XVI), The process is as shown in Scheme-IV below:
