Discovery of the fibrinolysis inhibitor AZD6564, acting via interference of a protein – Protein interaction
ACS Med Chem Lett 2014, 5(5): 538

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ml400526d

Abstract Image

A class of novel oral fibrinolysis inhibitors has been discovered, which are lysine mimetics containing an isoxazolone as a carboxylic acid isostere. As evidenced by X-ray crystallography the inhibitors bind to the lysine binding site in plasmin thus preventing plasmin from binding to fibrin, hence blocking the protein–protein interaction. Optimization of the series, focusing on potency in human buffer and plasma clotlysis assays, permeability, and GABAa selectivity, led to the discovery of AZD6564 (19) displaying an in vitro human plasma clot lysis IC50 of 0.44 μM, no detectable activity against GABAa, and with DMPK properties leading to a predicted dose of 340 mg twice a day oral dosing in humans.

Takeda Pharmaceutical


Takeda Pharmaceutical

by

Dr. Rainer Steinbach

Rainer studied chemistry and economics in Germany (Bonn, Marburg) and did postdoctoral work at Stanford University (CA, USA). He held various positions (R&D, Market Research, Marketing, Strategic Planning, Sourcing, etc) while working at Rütgers, Novartis, Syngenta, SK, Clariant, Archimica. His international background (he worked out of Belgium, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the USA) combined with broad experience gained in China and India (he audited more than 200 companies) is the foundation of CAP INTELLIGENCE.

Dr Rainer Steinbach of CAP Intelligence profiles Japan’s most global drugs firm

Takeda is the largest Asian pharmaceuticals company. The company started as early as 1977 to establish major co-operations with Western firms. As a result, it has the most global orientation amongst Japanese pharmaceutical companies. The latest major acquisition, Nycomed, is part of this globalisation strategy.

 

History

Takeda dates back to 1781, when Chobei Takeda started selling Japanese and Chinese traditional medicines. In 1895, the firm started the first production of pharmaceuticals in Osaka. Research activities started in 1914 and in 1944 fermentation activities were added.

In 1981, the antibiotics Takesulin and Pansporin were launched in Japan. In 1985, Takeda formed TAP Pharmaceuticals, a 50:50 joint venture (JV) in the US with Abbott Laboratories. TAP began marketing the prostate cancer treatment leuprorelin (Lupron) in the same year. 1997 saw the launch in Europe of candesartan celexetil (Blopress/Kensen), an anti-hypertensive agent which is also marketed by AstraZeneca.

In 2008, Takeda acquired Millennium Pharmaceutical of Cambridge, Massachusetts, an oncology research specialist, for $8.8 billion. Larger still was the acquisition of Swiss company Nycomed for €9.6 billion ($13.3 billion) in 2011, not including Nycomed’s US-based dermatological business. Nycomed had itself grown substantially by acquiring the pharmaceuticals interests of Altana in Germany and Bradley Pharmaceuticals in 2007.

The acquired parts of Nycomed had revenues of about €2.84 billion in 2011 and a workforce of about 11,800 employees, plus production locations in 11 countries worldwide. Its revenues were mainly in Europe (48%), Russia (17%) and Latin America (13%), plus other emerging markets. The acquisition also gained Takeda access to romiflumast (Daliresp), a new drug against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

 

In 2012, Takeda acquired URL Pharma, a privately owned company headquartered in Philadelphia and employing about 500, for an upfront payment of $800 million and future performance-based contingent earn out payments. URL’s 2011 revenues amounted of nearly $600 million, over two thirds coming from colchicine (Colcrys), which is used to treat and prevent gout flares. URL Pharma was sold to Sun Pharma in January 2013.

Table 1 – Locations of Takeda sites

Structure

Takeda is a public share company that is listed at the Tokyo and Osaka stock exchange, with the ticker symbol 4502. The main shareholders are financial institutions (33%), foreign investors (30%), some 280,000 individuals (27%) security companies and others (10%). The three biggest single shareholders are Nippon Life Insurance, with 7.1%, Japan Trustee Services Bank (4.4%) and the Master Trust Bank of Japan (4.3%).

The company is headquartered in Osaka, with its European headquarters in London and the American one headquarters Deerfield, Illinois. It has 17 manufacturing sites and three JV manufacturing sites, the most important of which are listed in Table 1. It employs a global workforce of about 30,500. Regional data about this are not published, apart from in Japan itself. CAP Intelligence estimates the workforce split as 31% in Japan, 30% in Europe, 25% in the USA and 14% in the rest of the world.

As of today, the Takeda Group has 61 consolidated companies and 14 affiliates. Major subsidiaries include: Takeda Nycomed Pharmaceuticals, Takeda Europe Holdings (Amsterdam), Takeda USA Holdings (New York), Millennium Chemicals (Cambridge, Massachusetts), Nihon Pharmaceutical, Wako Pure Chemicals and Mizuzawa Industrial Chemicals (all Japan) and Tianjin Takeda Pharmaceuticals (China).

Takeda’s financial year starts on April 1 and ends on March 31. The company’s financial results are reported in Yen, but are given here in US dollars for ease of comparison with other profiled firms. Figure 1 shows revenues, EBITDA, operating income and net earnings for the years since 2002.

In the year to March 2013, earnings fell by 13.3% to $16.57 billion, but EBITDA was up by 6.1% to $5.52 million and operating income was 27.4% up to $4.28 billion while earnings more than doubled to $3.48 million. Consequently, the net profit margin shot up from the 8% mark in the previous two years to 21.2%.

Figure 1 – Takeda’s revenues & profits ($ billion), 2011-2013 fiscal years

 

Main activities

Takeda is overwhelmingly focused on ethical products, which account for 90% of its revenues. Within this, cardiovascular and metabolic therapies account for 74%, followed by oncology with 13.5% and inflammatory with the other 2.5%. The remainder of its revenues is split between consumer healthcare products, including cold remedies and vitamin-containing products (4%), and others (6%). The company’s five best selling products account for close to $10 billion in sales, more than half of the total (Figure 2).

Sales are 47% in Japan, 23% in North America, 16% in Europe, 4% each in the rest of Asia, Russia and the CIS and Latin America and 2% in the rest of the world. As the Japanese market will not deliver major growth opportunities, the company’s objective is to be strongly present in emerging markets, especially China and Russia. Sales and marketing efforts have been intensified to this end. In fiscal 2012, Takeda all started an e-commerce website for direct selling in Japan called the Takeda Online Shop as part of the consumer healthcare business.

Takeda’s stated vision is “to embody global pharmaceutical leadership through innovation, culture, and growth, guided by an unwavering commitment to significantly improve the lives of patients”. Its strategy includes:

  • A strong focus on emerging markets
  • An improved presence in China and Korea
  • The integration of Nycomed and reducing over-reliance on the Japanese and American markets
  • Leveraging Nycomed’s strength in emerging markets to drive growth and combine the strength of both companies
  • Securing a top market share by establishing new products and maximising the sales of the existing portfolio
  • Concentration of management resources into new core therapeutic areas of metabolic and cardiovascular disease, oncology and diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), plus exploring further immunology and inflammatory medications
  • Increasing promotional efficiency
  • Making strategic investments actively and flexibly, while pursuing all opportunities, including M&A, product acquisition and the introduction of pipeline drugs

Takeda is one of the few Japanese pharmaceuticals companies that have a truly global presence. Because of this, in addition to its Japanese competitors, such as Astellas, Eisai, Mitsubishi, Otsuka, Shionogi, Taiho and Teijin, it also competes with all the major international companies, including generics companies. The strongest competitors in its main area of cardiovascular and metabolic drugs are AstraZeneca, Bayer, Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), Boehringer Ingelheim (BI), Daiichi Sankyo, Dainippon Sumitomo, Merck & Co., Novartis, Pfizer and Sanofi.

Table 2 – Takeda’s leading brands by sales, 2010-2013 fiscal years

R&D structure

About 6,000 Takeda employees work in R&D. In 2012-2013, the company invested more than $3.9 billion in R&D, almost 21% of total revenues. It has R&D sites in: Osaka and Fujisawa in Japan; Palo Alto, San Diego, Deerfield, Cambridge, Bozeman and Fort Collins in the US; Cambridge and London, UK; Roskilde, Denmark; Konstanz, Germany; Singapore; Guangzhou, China; and, Sao Jerônimo in Brazil.

Following the opening of the new drug discovery research centre, the Shonan Research Centre in Osaka, a new R&D structure was implemented in early 2011, creating ‘Drug Discovery Units (DDUs)’, with research functions around each of the four core research activities of metabolic diseases, oncology, CNS-related diseases and inflammatory diseases.

In addition, R&D alliances continue to form a key part of Takeda’s strategy. This has included alliances with Advinus Therapeutics in India, Seattle Genetics, Sage Bionetworks, Xoma and Zinfandel Pharma in the US and BC Cancer Agency in Canada. The company has stated that R&D expenditure over the next three years will be divided as follows between different therapeutic areas: oncology 31%, cardiovascular and metabolic 27%, CNS 14%, immunology and respiratory 12%, general medicine and vaccines 16%.

Clinical development

As of July 2013, Takeda had more than 40 products in clinical development, with the main emphasis on cardiovascular and metabolic indications and oncology. These comprised 14 compounds in Phase I, six (all NMEs) in Phase II and 12 (including seven NMEs) in Phase III.

Eight products, including three NMEs, had been submitted for approval and submissions had been filed for: vedolizumab, a monoclonal antibody developed to treat Crown’s disease and ulcerative colitis (Figure 2a); vortioxetine an anti-depressant co-developed with Lundbeck to treat generalised anxiety disorder; and, BLB-750, a vaccine developed to prevent pandemic influenza. Amongst the developmental drugs in Phase III are:

  • Alisertib (MLN8237, Figure 2b), a developmental kinase inhibitor to treat non-small lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and T-cell lymphoma
  • Fasiglifam (TAK-875, Figure 2c), an experimental drug against diabetes mellitus, belonging to the group of fatty acid receptor agonists
  • Ixazomib (MLN7908, Figure 2d), a protease inhibitor developed to treat multiple myeloma and relapsed primary amyloidosis
  • Orteronel (TAK 700, Figure 2e), an experimental non-steroidal proteasome inhibitor developed to treat prostate cancer
  • Trebananib (AMG 386), a developmental antineoplastic immunoglobulin that is being co-developed with Amgen
  • Trelagliptin (SYR-472, Figure 2f), a long-acting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor developed to treat Type 2 diabetes
  • Vonoprazan (TAK-438, Figure 2g) an acid blocker developed to treat peptic ulcer and other acid-related diseases

Figure 3 – Pipeline drugs at Takeda

Key products

The main market products from Takeda have already been listed above in Table 2. The five most important by sales in the most recent fiscal year are as follows in alphabetical order, with the generic name first and the brand name in brackets after. Further information about the rest of the portfolio is available from CAP Intelligence.

Bortezomib (Velcade, Figure 3a) belongs to the class of targeted intra-cellular tumour therapeutics. It was the first therapeutic protease inhibitor ever approved and was originally developed by Myogenics, a company that was sold to Leukosite. This firm was in turn acquired by Millennium, which ultimately became part of Takeda.

Amongst others, bortezomib is approved against multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. Chemically, it is an N-protected dipeptide. The protection group contains a boron atom which binds the catalytic site of the 26S proteasome that regulates protein expression. Bortezomib is co-marketed with Johnson & Johnson (J&J) under the same trade name Velcade. Pharmstandard markets it in Russia.

Depending on the specific indication multiple myeloma, competing drugs include: other targeted tumour therapeutics, such as lenalidomide (Revlimid), pomalidomide (Pomast) and thalidomide (Thalidomide), all by Celgene; enzyme inhibitors, such as carfilzomib (Kyprolix by Onyx); and, topomerase inhibitors, such as doxorubicin (Doxil/Caelyx) by J&J.

Candesartan (Blopress/Kensen, Figure 3b) belongs to the class of angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARBs) or ‘sartans’, which are chemically 2-tetrazoylbiphenyl derivatives. The drug is used for treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Depending on the specific indication, competing drugs include:

  • Other sartans, such as irbesartan (Avarpro/Avalide by BMS, Approvel by Sanofi or Irbetan by Shionogi), olmesartan (Olmetec by Daiichi Sankyo), telmisartan (Micardis by BI) and valsartan (Diovan by Novartis)
  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors  or ‘prils’, such as benazepril (Lotensin by Novartis), captopril (Capoten by BMS), enalapril (Vasotec by Merck & Co.), fosinopril (Monopril by BMS), lisinopril (Prinivil by Merck & Co., Zestril by AstraZeneca), perindopril (Coversyl by Servier), quinapril (Accupril by Pfizer), ramipril (Tritace by Sanofi, Altace by King), zofenopril (Zofenopril, Zopranol or Zantipres by Menarini)
  • Renin inhibitors or ‘kirens’, such as aliskiren (Tekturna/Rasilez by Novartis)
  • Drugs from other classes, such as calcium channel blockers

Figure 3 – Key market products by Takeda

Lansoprazole (Takepron/Ogast/Lansox, Figure 4c) belongs to the sub-group or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or ‘prazoles’ in the class of drugs for acid-related disorders. PPIs reduce acid secretion by inhibiting the enzyme ATPase in gastric parientel cells.

Lansoprazole is used to treat stomach ulcers, peptic ulcers and gastroesophagal reflux. The originator drug is marketed by Takeda but is now generic, being marketed as Lansul and Lansoptol by Krka, Lansopran by Sawai and Opiren by Almirall and as an over-the-counter drug by Novartis under the name Prevacid 24H. Depending on the specific indication, lansoprazole competes with:

  • Other PPIs, such as dexlansoprazole (Dexilant Takeda), Nexium by AstraZeneca, omeprazole (Losec and Prilosec, also by Astra Zeneca, plus generic versions), pantoprazole (by Nycomed) and rabeprazole (Aciphex and Pariet by J&J)
  • H2-antagonists (‘tidines’), such as cimetidine (Tagamet by Glaxo Smithkline (GSK)), famotidine (Pepicidine and Pepcid by J&J and Merck & Co., Gaster by Astellas, loratidine (Claritin by Schering Plough and Shionogi), nizatidine (Tazac by Eli Lilly), ranitidine (Zantac by GSK)
  • Prostaglandins or ‘prosts’, such as misoprostol (Cytotex by Pfizer)
  • Non-classified drugs, such as repabimide (e.g. Mucosta by Otsuka), teprenone (Seftac by Sawai, Selbex by Eisai), etc.

Leuprorelin (Leuplin/Enatoe, Figure 3d) is an analogue to the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and acts as agonist at pituitary GnRH receptors. It regulates down the secretion of gonadotropins-luteinizing hormones (LHs) and follicle-stimulating hormones (FSHs), reducing estradiol and testosterone levels in both sexes.

Leuprolin is marketed by various companies, such as Eligard by Sanofi and Astellas and Vidadur by Bayer. Competing GnRH medications include goserelin (Zalodex by AstraZeneca), buserelin (Suprefact by Sanofi), histrelin (Vantas and Supprelin by Elan), triptorelin (Decapentyl by Ipsen, Gonapeptyl by Ferring, Trelstar by Watson), deslorelin (Ovuplant by Peptech) and nafarelin (Synarel by Pfizer).

Pioglitazone (Actos/Glustin/Zanctos, Figure 3e) belongs to the sub group of insulin sensitisers in the class of anti-diabetic drugs. These work against the core problem of Type II diabetes, insulin resistance. In India, the drug is marketed by Zydus Cadila. Depending on the specific indication, competing drugs include:

  • Insulin sensitisers, such as metformin (e.g. Glucophage by Merck & Co. or Daiichi Sankyo; Glycoran by Nippon Shinyaku; Metgluco/Melbin by Dainippon Sumitomo, etc.) and ‘glitazones’, such as rosiglitazone (Avandia by GSK)
  • Insulin secretagogues, which trigger the release of insulin by inhibiting the K-ATPase channel of the pancreatic beta cells, including sulfonyl ureas, such as glimeripide (Amaryl by Sanofi), glipizide (Gluctrol by Pfizer), gliclazide (Diamicron Servier), glibenclamide (e.g. Glimel by Dong-A), etc; meglitinides or ‘glinides’, such as nateglinide (e.g. Starlix by Par), repaglinide (e.g. Prandin by Novo Nordisk), glucagon-like peptide 1 analogues, such as exenatide (Byetta/Bydurone by Amylin and Eli Lilly), liraglutide (Victoza by Novo Nordisk) and lixenatide (Lyxumia by Sanofi); and, dipeptidyl dipetidase-4 inhibitors, such as linagliptin (Trajenta by Eli Lilly and BI), sitagliptin (Januvia by Merck), saxagliptin (Onglyza by AstraZeneca and BMS), vidagliptin (Galvus by Novartis), etc.
  • Insulin analogues, including long-acting insulins, such as insulin glargine (Lantus by Sanofi) and insulin detemir (Levemir by Novo Nordisk), and short-acting insulins, such as insulin lispro (Humalog by Eli Lilly) or insulin glulisine (Apidra by Sanofi), etc.
  • Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, such as acarbose (Glucobay by Bayer), miglitol (Diastabol by Sanofi), voglibose (Basen by Takeda) and other non-classified drugs
  • Sodium-glucose transport protein inhibitors, such as canaglifozin (Invokanna by Jansssen) and empaglifozin, which is under investigation by Eli Lilly and BI

Angiogenesis is a valid target in the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer. Trebananib inhibits the binding of angiopoietins 1 and 2 to the Tie2 receptor, and thereby inhibits angiogenesis. We aimed to assess whether the addition of trebananib to single-agent weekly paclitaxel in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer improved progression-free survival.

Sanofi gives back rights to Merrimack cancer drug


Sanofi gives back rights to Merrimack cancer drug

After a series of late-stage failures, Sanofi has returned the rights to the cancer compound MM-121 to Merrimack Pharmaceuticals.

MM-121, a monoclonal antibody designed to block ErbB3 activation in patients with heregulin-positive tumours, has been tested in Phase II trials in partnership with the French giant in ovarian, breast and lung cancer. However, none of them have met their primary endpoints and Sanofi has decided  to pull the plug, although it will continue to fund the existing MM-121 Phase II programme for the next six months.

Targeting ErbB3

ErbB3 is a kinase-dead critical mediator of pro-survival signaling through PI3K/AKT activation and potentially through activation of other pathways involved in proliferation, differentiation, and survival of cancer cells.20 Signaling is mediated by ErbB3 ligands such as heregulin (HRG) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands like betacellulin (BTC).21 Signaling through ErbB3 is a major mechanism by which cancer cells acquire resistance to targeted therapies (including EGFR and HER2 inhibitors); chemotherapies; and, potentially, radiotherapy.20,21References:

Investigational anti-ErbB3 mAB

SAR256212 is an investigational fully human monoclonal antibody that targets the HER3 (ErbB3) receptor.21 SAR256212 potently inhibits ligand-induced signaling through HER3.21 By targeting ErbB3, SAR256212 blocks heregulin (HRG1-β1) binding to HER3, induces HER3 internaliztion and degradation, and blocks BTC-induced phosphorylation of HER3, leading to inhibition of HRG1-β1- and BTC-induced survival signaling.20 SAR256212 activity has been evaluated in a broad range of preclinical tumor xenograft models.21

The clinical significance of these findings is currently under investigation.

Clinical development

SAR256212 is being codeveloped with Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc. SAR256212 is currently being investigated in a phase I trial in patients with refractory advanced solid tumors; in a phase I/II trial, in combination with erlotinib, in patients with NSCLC; in a phase I trial in combination with the investigational agent SAR245408 in solid tumors; in a phase I trial in combination with cetuximab and irinotecan in solid tumors; and in a phase I trial in combination with multiple chemotherapeutic agents in solid tumors. SAR256212 is also being investigated in a phase II trial in ER/PR+ HER2- breast cancer patients in combination with exemestane. In combination with paclitaxel, SAR256212 is being studied in a phase II trial in ER/PR+ HER2- breast cancer and TNBC, and a phase II trial in platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer.

ER=estrogen receptor; HER2=human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; PR=progesterone receptor; TNBC=triple negative breast cancer.

SAR256212 is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency worldwide for the uses under investigation

ErbB3 is a critical activator of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB1), ErbB2 [human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)], and [hepatocyte growth factor receptor (MET)] addicted cancers, and reactivation of ErbB3 is a prominent method for cancers to become resistant to ErbB inhibitors. In this study, we evaluated the in vivo efficacy of a therapeutic anti-ErbB3 antibody, MM-121. We found that MM-121 effectively blocked ligand-dependent activation of ErbB3 induced by either EGFR, HER2, or MET. Assessment of several cancer cell lines revealed that MM-121 reduced basal ErbB3 phosphorylation most effectively in cancers possessing ligand-dependent activation of ErbB3. In those cancers, MM-121 treatment led to decreased ErbB3 phosphorylation and, in some instances, decreased ErbB3 expression. The efficacy of single-agent MM-121 was also examined in xenograft models. A machine learning algorithm found that MM-121 was most effective against xenografts with evidence of ligand-dependent activation of ErbB3. We subsequently investigated whether MM-121 treatment could abrogate resistance to anti-EGFR therapies by preventing reactivation of ErbB3. We observed that an EGFR mutant lung cancer cell line (HCC827), made resistant to gefitinib by exogenous heregulin, was resensitized by MM-121. In addition, we found that a de novo lung cancer mouse model induced by EGFR T790M-L858R rapidly became resistant to cetuximab. Resistance was associated with an increase in heregulin expression and ErbB3 activation. However, concomitant cetuximab treatment with MM-121 blocked reactivation of ErbB3 and resulted in a sustained and durable response. Thus, these results suggest that targeting ErbB3 with MM-121 can be an effective therapeutic strategy for cancers with ligand-dependent activation of ErbB3.

FDA approves Cubist's Sivextro to treat skin infections

Regulators in the USA have given the green light to Cubist Pharmaceuticals’ antibiotic Sivextro for serious skin infections, including those caused by MRSA.

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved Sivextro (tedizolid) for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) caused by certain susceptible bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and enterococcus faecalis. The thumbs-up is based in two trials of 1,315 adults with ABSSSI which showed that Sivextro was as effective as linezolid, another antibacterial.

Torezolid (also known as TR-701 and now tedizolid[1]) is an oxazolidinone drug being developed by Trius Therapeutics (originator Dong-A Pharmaceuticals) for complicated skin and skin-structure infections (cSSSI), including those caused by Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA).[2]

As of July 2012, tedizolid had completed one phase III trial, with another one under way. [3]Both trials compare a six-day regimen of tedizolid 200mg once-daily against a ten-day regimen of Zyvox (linezolid) 600mg twice-daily.

The prodrug of tedizolid is called “TR-701″, while the active ingredient is called “TR-700″.[4][5]

Trius Therapeutics will soon be reporting data from its second phase III trial (ESTABLILSH-2) and the recently announced publication of the data from its first phase III trial (ESTABLISH-1) in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)

…………………………………………………….

Emergence of bacterial resistance to known antibacterial agents is becoming a major challenge in treating bacterial infections. One way forward to treat bacterial infections, and especially those caused by resistant bacteria, is to develop newer antibacterial agents that can overcome the bacterial resistance. Coates et al. (Br. J. Pharmacol. 2007; 152(8), 1147-1154.) have reviewed novel approaches to developing new antibiotics. However, the development of new antibacterial agents is a challenging task. For example, Gwynn et al. (Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010, 1213: 5-19) have reviewed the challenges in the discovery of antibacterial agents.

Several antibacterial agents have been described in the prior art (for example, see PCT International Application Nos. PCT/US2010/060923, PCT/EP2010/067647, PCT/US2010/052109, PCT/US2010/048109, PCT/GB2009/050609, PCT/EP2009/056178 and PCT/US2009/041200). However, there remains a need for potent antibacterial agents for preventing and/or treating bacterial infections, including those caused by bacteria that are resistant to known antibacterial agents.

Various oxazolidinone-containing compounds have been disclosed for use asantibiotics. For example, oxazolidinone-containing compounds have been described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/596,412 (filed Dec. 17, 2004), and WO 04/048350, WO 03/022824 and WO 01/94342, which are incorporated herein by reference.

A 1-L, three-neck round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, nitrogen inlet/outlet and thermocouple was charged with the compound of Formula Ia below (16.0 g, 0.0499 mol], THF (320 mL, 20 vol) and Et3N (21.9 g, 0.216 mol, 5.0 equiv.).
Figure US20100305069A1-20101202-C00025
POCl3 (3.31 g, 0.0216 mol, 0.5 equiv.) was added dropwise via syringe over 5 minutes. The reaction temperature was maintained below 25° C. The batch was aged for 16 hours at room temperature at which point HPLC analysis (XBridge, C18) indicated that the reaction was complete. The reaction vessel was then immersed in an ice-water bath and a 500-mL addition funnel charged with 320 mL of H2O was attached to the reaction vessel. When the temperature of the reaction reached 2.7° C., H2O was added drop wise over 30 minutes. The temperature of the reaction was maintained below 10° C. Upon completion of the H2O addition, the ice-water bath was removed and the batch was aged for 3 hours. The solution was transferred to a 2-L round-bottom flask and concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator. After removal of most of the THF from the solution, the aqueous mixture was extracted with 5 1-L portions of CH2Cl2:MeOH (9:1). The CH2Cl2 layers were combined and concentrated to a dark oil. This crude material was purified on 200 g of silica gel, eluting with 10% MeOH/CH2Cl2 to 20% 2 N NH3 in MeOH/CH2Cl2. Fractions containing mostly the bis-ester (as judged by TLC Rf=0.3 eluting with 20% 2 N NH3 in MeOH/CH2Cl2) were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator, during which time a white precipitate was observed. The flask containing the slurry was removed from the rotary evaporator and equipped with a magnetic stir bar and allowed to stir while cooling to room temperature over 3 hours, during which time the slurry thickened. The solid was filtered and dried in a vacuum oven at 45° C. for 16 hours to give 3.55 g of bis-ester as an off-white solid (20% yield). HPLC analysis (Method A): 99.0% (AUC), tR=16.3 min. This reaction was repeated and the combined lots of the compound of Formula III (6.7 g) were slurried in 100 mL of MeOH (15 vol). The slurry was heated to 40° C. for 30 minutes and then allowed to cool to room temperature over 1 hour. The off-white solid was filtered and dried in a vacuum oven at 40° C. for 16 hours to give 6.15 g of the compound of Formula III (92% yield). The 1H NMR analysis of the product was consistent with the assigned structure. HPLC analysis (Method A): 99.0% (AUC), tR=16.3 min.

Hetero launches darbepoetin alfa biosimilar in India


hetero drugs biosimilarnews logo Hetero launches darbepoetin alfa biosimilar in India

The Hetero Group, one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of activepharmaceutical ingredients to the Indian pharmaceutical industry, yesterdayannounced the launch of its first biosimilar product in India, darbepoetin alfa.

This launch marks a significant advancement for Hetero in a biosimilars market expected to grow to US$ 24B in the next five years. In partnership with several prominent pharmaceutical companies, Hetero is launching the drug across India.

Darbepoetin alfa (rINN/dɑrbəˈpɔɪtɨn/ is a synthetic form of erythropoietin. It stimulates erythropoiesis (increases red blood celllevels) and is used to treat anemia, commonly associated with chronic renal failure and cancer chemotherapy. Darbepoetin is marketed by Amgen under the trade name Aranesp.

The drug was approved in September 2001 by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of anemia in patients with chronic renal failure by intravenous or subcutaneous injection.[1] In June 2001, it had been approved by the European Medicines Agency for this indication as well as the treatment of anemia in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.[2]

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories launched darbepoetin alfa in India under the brand name ‘Cresp’ in August 2010. This is the world’s first generic darbepoetin alfa. Cresp has been approved in India.

 

 

Human erythropoietin with 2 aa substitutions to enhance glycosylation (5 N-linked chains), 165 residues (MW=37 kD). Produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by recombinant DNA technology.

Darbepoetin is produced by recombinant DNA technology in modified Chinese hamster ovary cells.[citation needed] It differs from endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) by containing two more N-linked oligosaccharide chains. It is an erythropoiesis-stimulating 165-amino acid protein.

Like EPO, its use increases the risk of cardiovascular problems, including cardiac arrest, arrhythmia, hypertension and hypertensive encephalopathycongestive heart failurevascular thrombosis or ischemia, myocardial infarctionedema, and stroke. It can also increase risk of seizures. A recent study has extended these findings to treatment of patients exhibiting cancer-related anemia (distinct from anemia resulting from chemotherapy).[3] Pre-existing untreated hypertension is a contra-indication for darbepoetin, as well as some hematologic diseases. Other reported adverse reactions include hypotensionfever, chest pains, nausea and myalgia.

Like EPO, it has the potential to be abused by athletes seeking a competitive advantage. Its use during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games to improve performance led to the disqualification of cross-country skiers Larisa Lazutina and Olga Danilova of Russia and Johann Mühlegg of Spain from their final races.

Safety advisories in anemic cancer patients

Amgen sent a “dear doctor” letter in January, 2007, that highlighted results from a recent anemia of cancer trial, and warned doctors to consider use in that off-label indication with caution.

Amgen advised the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as to the results of the DAHANCA 10 clinical trial. The DAHANCA 10 data monitoring committee found that 3-year loco-regional control in subjects treated with Aranesp was significantly worse than for those not receiving Aranesp (p=0.01).

In response to these advisories, the FDA released a Public Health Advisory[4] on March 9, 2007, and a clinical alert[5] for doctors on February 16, 2007, about the use of erythropoeisis-stimulating agents such as epogen and darbepoetin. The advisory recommended caution in using these agents in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or off chemotherapy, and indicated a lack of clinical evidence to support improvements in quality of life or transfusion requirements in these settings.

In addition, on March 9, 2007, drug manufacturers agreed to new “black box” warnings about the safety of these drugs. On November 8, 2007, additional “black box” warnings were included on the aranesp label, at the request of the FDA.

On March 22, 2007, a congressional inquiry into the safety of erythropoeitic growth factors was reported in the news media. Manufacturers were asked to suspend drug rebate programs for physicians and to also suspend marketing the drugs to patients.

Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa) is an erythropoiesis-stimulating protein that is produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells by recombinant DNA technology. Aranesp is a 165-amino acid protein that differs fromrecombinant human erythropoietin in containing 5 N-linked oligosaccharide chains, whereas recombinant human erythropoietin contains 3 chains. The 2 additional N-glycosylation sites result from amino acid substitutions in the erythropoietin peptide backbone. The approximate molecular weight of darbepoetin alfa is 37,000 daltons.

Aranesp is formulated as a sterile, colorless, preservative-free solution containing polysorbate for intravenous or subcutaneous administration. Each 1 mL contains polysorbate 80 (0.05 mg), sodium chloride (8.18 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous (0.66 mg), and sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate (2.12 mg) in Water for Injection, USP (pH 6.2 ± 0.2).

What are the possible side effects of darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp, Aranesp Albumin Free, Aranesp SureClick)?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Contact your doctor if you feel light-headed or unusually weak or tired. These may be signs that your body has stopped responding to darbepoetin alfa.

Darbepoetin alfa can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. This risk will increase the longer you use darbepoetin alfa. Seek emergency medical help if you…

Molecular biology mystery unravelled

The nature of the machinery responsible for the entry of proteins into cell membranes has been unravelled by scientists, who hope the breakthrough could ultimately be exploited for the design of new anti-bacterial drugs. Groups of researchers from the University of Bristol and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) used new genetic engineering technologies to reconstruct and isolate the cell’s protein trafficking machinery.

Its analysis has shed new light on a process which had previously been a mystery for molecular biologists.

The findings, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences(PNAS), could also have applications for synthetic biology – an emerging field of science and technology, for the development of novel membrane proteins with useful activities.

Proteins are the building blocks of all life and are essential for the growth of cells and tissue repair. The proteins in the membrane typically help the cell…

An off-switch for drugs’ toxic side effects


Lyranara.me's avatarLyra Nara Blog

When medications linger in the human body, they sometimes produce toxic side effects.  Professor Alexandros Makriyannis, the George D. Behrakis Trustee Chair in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and Director of the Center for Drug Discovery at Northeastern, explained that many things can happen to a drug inside our bodies once it is ingested. For instance, the drug can be modified into other byproducts with their own undesirable and unpredictable effects. Or it can remain embedded in the body’s fatty tissues and then be slowly released into the circulatory system.

“If you had a way of controlling how long this drug sits in the body,” Makriyannis said, “that would be a beneficial effect. It would be a safer drug.”

In research recently published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, Makriyannis and his team present not just one such drug but a whole series of them. “We call…

Quantum biology: Algae evolved to switch quantum coherence on and off

A UNSW Australia-led team of researchers has discovered how algae that survive in very low levels of light are able to switch on and off a weird quantum phenomenon that occurs during photosynthesis.

The function in the algae of this quantum effect, known as coherence, remains a mystery, but it is thought it could help them harvest energy from the sun much more efficiently. Working out its role in a living organism could lead to technological advances, such as better organic solar cells and quantum-based electronic devices.

The research is published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

It is part of an emerging field called…

Ebola outbreak in West Africa ‘out of control’


atasteofcreole's avatarAtasteofcreole's Blog

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/06/20/ebola-outbreak-in-west-africa-out-control/?intcmp=latestnews

A senior official for Doctors Without Borders says the Ebola outbreak ravaging West Africa is “totally out of control” and that the medical group is stretched to the limit in its capacity to respond.

Bart Janssens, the director of operations for the group in Brussels, said Friday that international organizations and the governments involved need to send in more health experts and increase public education messages about how to stop the spread of the disease.

Janssens said the outbreak is far from over and will probably end up as the most deadly on record.

According to the latest figures from the World Health Organization, Ebola has already been linked to more than 330 deaths in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
